THE czAR,s WIG.
How an ofacer TweaIed It aud Won
Bet and Position.

Paul. the eccentric car Of Russie
assassinated in 1901, was very particIl-
lar as TO his dress, and considered tri.
fling matters as Of supreme importance.
This popularity was once taken advan-
tage Of by an officer of the guards, Major
Vaksel, to win a bet. The maior, the
widest joker in the army, wagered sew
eral hundred rubles that he wolL d
tweak the tail of the emperor's wig on
parade.
The very next day the emperor hap
pened 10 be present at an early parade.
and, as destiny ruled it, took a position
for a moment Immediately in front of
the daring major Breathless with ex-
citement aud terror, Val1sel's compan-
ions beheld that rash officer right hand
steal slowly from his side, rise to the
level Of the czar's neck and give the
wigs hanging tail most decided tweak
In an instant the emperor's face, pale
with fury, was turned upon Vaksel's
countenance, which, however, only re-
fectod an expression Of childlike inno-
cence, mingled with the most deferen-
tial astonishment.
"Who dared to do thatf" asked the
enraged car, his eyes giving flashing
evidence that his most dangerous mood
was upon him.
81 did, your majesty" said Vaksel,
who, however his heart may have fiut-
tered, managed TO preserve outwardly
an unrufied calm, together with an ex.
preston Of innocent surprise. ut was

confidential undertone. 81 Strengthened
it for fear the younger officers should

Paul's countenance cleared at once
He stared fxedly, however, at Vaksel'i
innocent looking face for some seconds
Vaksel admitted afterward that thii
was the trying moment, and he had sale
to himself, "If l waver, I'm lostp
Then the czar spoke, and spoke SO tina
all might hear

II ever a step in rank was gained b,
the purest effrontery it was so acquired
on this occasion, and Vaksel left tn

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
JOSEPH THOMAS MUST ANSWER
FOR KILLING FRANK WARE
WITH A RAZOR

JOSEPH THOMAS MUST ANSWER
FOR KILLING FRANK WARE
WITH A RAZOR.
EASTON. Md, Dec. 2.-In the Cir
cult Court, Joseph Thomas, colored,
was put on trial to-day upon an indict-
ment for killing Frank Ware, colored,
in Easton on the 2Sth of September.
The two men were playing cards Sun
day night in a room over Louis X.
Edgells livery stable, on East Dover
street, and the game ran over into
Monday morning. There were other
negroes in the play when it started,
but finally Thomas and Ware were
left playing together. Ware was the
winner and he taunted Thomas with
not knowing how to play This started
the trouble and angry words passed
between them.
Thomas started TO leave the room
and invited Ware to go out with him.
Ware started to follow, but one of the
other men held him back, and soon
Thomas returned with an open razor
I'm his hand. In the fracas which fol-
lowed Wares arm was slashed up and
down. The arteries and muscles from
shoulder to elbow and to the bone were
severed The flow of blood could not
be stopped and Ware died about g
o'clock Monday afternoon Thomas
gave the razor to his girl, Annie Up
shur, and then went into a cornfeld
near town, where he spent the rest OF
the night and where he was arrested
by Constable White. Little is known
of either of the men in Easton. Both
are said to have come here from Bal.
timore. Ware was known amCnf
the negroes as the Man Eater" an ap-
pellation he is said to have been prouC
of. Thomas has been in jail since anC
has been a quiet and tractable pris
oner. States Attorney Clayland Mul
liken will prosecute and the accused
will be defended by r. Rastall Walker
and George w. Wilson.

TWO VIEWS OF PENSIONS.

Not Many Rich In Cur Wars, Writes TX
President Harrison.
"There may be fair differences Of
opinion as to the extent and conditions
of pension relief, but there is 10 room
for doubts as to pensions writes ex-
President Harrison in Tho Ladies'
Home Journal "Eloven dollars a month
for war service implies at least relief
in case of wounds or sickness for the
soldier and that tho public viii care
for his widow and minor children.
When the law of pillage prevailed, it
was otherwise, and when our rich men
take to fighting our wars we can abol-
ish the pension system, but thus far it
is as historically true Of tho armies that
won our independence, delivered us
from the Indians and the British and
saved the nation in the great civil wai
ms of the kingdom Of heaven, Not
many rich.

PERCH PLENTIFUL IN WICOMICO
RIVER-SHIPMENT OF HOLLY
AND CHRISTMAS GREENS.


AND CHRISTMAS GREENS.
SALISBURY, Md. Dec. 2.-The tail
end of the Western blizzard struck
here Sunday, and snow fell
all day. This is the first very
rough weather there has been.
There is a legend here that if the
woods are full of nuts and squirrels,
there will be a hard Winter. If this
be true, we will have the hardest Win
ter for years. as the amount of nuts
and squirrels in the woods exceeds any
year for a long time.
The WicomicO Falls Mills are having
great trouble with cells stopping the
wheels of the mill The cells come down
the stream in such large schools that
they completely stop the machinery
One day recently four bushels were
cut out
The fishermen on the Wicomico river
are preparing for a good season ol
perch fishing. The fish are said to be
more plentiful than for several sea
sons past.
Several farmers in the vicinity OF
Salisbury began shipping holly and
crows foot yesterday. There is a de,
mand in the larger cities for the en-.
tire output and at good prices. The
trees are stripped and afterward tn,
holly is cut into small pieces and ship
ped in crates. In the meadows ad
joining Salisbury there is fine moss
which brings a good price This il
notanew industry here, as in some othe'
parts of the state. but the demand thi
year is heavier than ever before.

Now. we often hear Of obscure nerv-
.ous arrangements with no clear cause
following railway accidents, and Of
strange nervous symptoms compllcatlng
such obvious physical injuries as may
occur,a and many questions are apt to be
raised as to the possibility of such phe-
nomena being due TO any known degree
of concussion or injury OF h nervous
centers, and not i~nfrequently much doubt
is thrown on the bona fides of plaintiffs
in such cases. While, however, quite
admitting the frequency with which
fraud is at the bottom of 6aims against
railway companies, it does not do to
forget that something else besides mere
physical injury may result from a rail-
way accident. II terror, a sudden and
intense horror, or, rs some would say,
b ''mere shock" without any
physical injury at all, will produce

England Wrong. America Right.

"What is the proper spelling?'. asks
q correspondents ''Should it be tire
or 'tyre?' / answer with fear and
trembling, for l know by experience
what heated passions are sometimes
aroused by questions Of this gravity. 1
find, however, that DR.. johnson is on
tho side of tire, " though he notices the
spelling tyre" while Webster gives
"tire" and ignores tyre altogether.
The interchange of 81" and ~" in
words of this shape seems to be purely
q matter of convention or caprice, and
one can only be guided BY the ruling Of
the recognized authorities. Webster and
johnson are good enough for me. and l
would suggest to the various pneumatic
tyre" companies now advertising
themselves that they should remodel
their spelling. Some time back | had a
passage at arms with a gentleman over
the same question in the spelling of the
word tire and the question was de-
cided. to my mind, by the authority of
Professor Skoat. who pronounces ''tyro"
"a gross misspelling. So far as / can
see. very much the same might be sad
of tyre. London Truth.

'.In France, said Max Schottek, who
represents u great American dry goods
firm in Paris, NEARLY every man saves
something. 1t doesn't matter how small
his income may be. he manages to put

spect the thrift Of the people stands out
in marked contrast to the prodigal ways
Of the citizens Of the United States.
Here it seems essential to spend a big
sum of money to get much pleasure in

measured by the money expended. But
l think it undoubtedly true that the
French people get more enjoyment out
of life than the Americans.
