said st. Joseph was rotten to the core and
that everything was run wide open; that
the mayor was afraid to enforce the laws
because he was contractor and would
lose the patronage He said the polcs

gave to women with false modesty a
chance To leave the church He roasted
"A numbcr of business men for their views
ON the subject. and said he had only COM

Shah's Assassination.

pers here were authorized to announce
the death of the Shah Of Persia, but with
out stating the cause. One newspaper
announces that the shah was out for "a

Some apprehension Is felt here in official
circles owing to the fact that the assassin
formerly lived in this city, from which
place he communicated with Sheikh Jem
Aleddin, who is credited with having
planned to murder both the shah and
grand vizer of Persia.

De st. Petersburg says tho horror in
spired by such a crime is vividly felt in
Russia, where the late shah was honored
as an ally, desirous OF fortifying the good
relations existing between the two coun

which Persia is plunged.

bicycle. On one of our outer boule.
wards cyclist recently perceived a po.
liceman driving a cart and urging on
the horse at rapid pace. Upon ques-
tioning the constable the wheelman
was told that he was endeavoring to
overtake a rabid og which had got
ahead of the trap. Borrowing the
gendarme's sabre the cyclist hastily
mounted his machine and sped away
in pursuit of the enraged animal On
coming up with the dog he charged it
while still on his bicycle. and had the
satisfaction of running the creature
through with his weapon, killing it on
the spot. The cyclists plucky action
was much applauded by the crowd that
had been attracted by so unwonted a
Standard.
