Alexander.
The Late Car of Russia
Bore a Haunted Life.
He Was in Constant Dread of Nj
hilistio Plots.
Sought Belief in Stimulants, Tonics and
Nerve Nutriment

Alexander, the late car of Russia,
no doubt furnishes one of the most
striking examples in modern history
of that trite saying, Uneasy rests
the head that wears a crown" His
whole life was a succession of per-
sonal alarms, secret connivings, MI
llilistic plots and nihilistic attempts
at assassination. Small wonder, then,
if he sought relief in medicine, and
as a notwithstanding tonic for shat
tered nerves and haunted mind de-
manded stirnulants. In saying this,
let it be understood that the late
car was in no sense an inebriate.
The stimulants which he sought
were rather in the nature of a nerve
builder, rather than a nerve de-
stroyer, and though he tried one REM
edy after another it was years be-
fore he secured the right one.
AS result of that discovery Alex
ander caused the following telegram
to be sent to the branch house Of
JOHANN HOFF at St. Petersburg:
Send Immediately one case of 10

TRACT to Sarskoje, Cello, by order.

COUNCIL OF JEWISH WOMEN.
Value to Mankind of the Mosaic
Sabbath.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Philadelphia Section of the National Coun-
ell of Jewish Women was held last even-
ing. in the assembly room of Keneseth Is
rael Temple, Broad street, above Calum-
bia avenue. Mrs. Charles Hoffman pre-
sided, and Miss Gertrude Berg acted as
secretary.
The main features of the meeting were
the presentation of papers ty DIR. Solomon
Solis-Cohen ard Miss Diana Hirshler. The
former gave an interesting account of the
Sabbath. He said that the weekly day Of
rest which the Mosaic Sabbath has given
to the world by Christianity, the daughter
of Judaism, is probably the greatest infiua
ence In the development of the higher
qualities of mankind existing in the present
system of so-called civilization, inasmuch
as ii releases for time the minds and
souls of these bound in industrial slavery
The Fourth Commandment of the decaf
logue was given in two forme-one in Exc
odus, where II is connected with the creab
zion of the void; the other in Deuteroa-
omy, where 1t commands not only absten-
ton from personal labor, but rest for
servants, strangers within the gates and
beasts of burden. The Jewish Sabbath
was undoubtedly an institution sui generis
and nothing has been found in any other
nation Of antiquity which compares to it.
The speaker referred to the two aspects Of
the Sabbath, the religious and humans
tartan, claiming that the latter may be
accepted even by those who NAV entirely
ignore the former.

ALLEGED ANTI-GAMnLING CRUSADE.
Prize Fight Manager in Jacksonville,
Fla. Turns RefOrmcr.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Nov. 2O.-Efforts
are again being made to suppress gambling
in this city. The latest important attempt
has taken the form of an investigation of
the police department by the city council,
the charges being that certain police officers
have received money to permit gambling
houses to continue in business. No definite
results have been reached except that the
following facts have been established.
Brides have been offered by gamblers in the
city to members of the police force and
refused; one man in the city, who was named
H. has received money from the gamblers
guaranteeing police protection; gambling
has been going on in the city; some So
called gambling establishments have been
closed up while others have been allowed
TO run; no orders have been issued by the
heads of the police department to detec-
tiyes and patromen to close up gambling
places and several of the gamblers in the
city have very convenient memories.
The investigation Is being conducted by
Councilman j. Il. 7. Bowden, who became
renowned as manager of the Duval Athletic
club which pulled of the CorbettrMitchell
fight in this city three years ago.

in the iive-story building at 100, 1872 and 1874
superior street, occupied by IL. w. Leutke-
meyer d Co., Wholesale and retail hard
ware and paint dealers. The flames orig
mated in the paint department and rapidly
spread to all the floors, and the entire
building was soon enyeloped in flames. Il.
w. Leutekmeyer, a son Of the senior partner
of the firm, was badly burned in attempt
ing to subduo the flames The remaining
fifty persons In the building 1t is believed,
escaped in safety. A strong wind pre-
vented the hremen from getting control of
the fire and carried the flames high over
adjoining buildings.
1t was feared the big eight-story build
ing on the west side would go, and at $3.50
a second alarm was sent out, bringing into
action twenty-five engines, two fire boats
and a water tower.
The fire was practically under control at
IL o'clock, the firemen having succeeded in
confining the flames TO the Luetkemeyer
building, which was entirely consumed, with
its contents. The adjoining buildings were
more or less damaged, however by smoke
and water. The loss on the Luetkemeycr
building and contents Will aggregate nearly
S350000 partly covered by insurance.
Three men were removed from the build
ing by firemen, badly burned and almost
sufTocated by smoke.
Every employe of Luctkemeyer & Co has
been accounted for and is safe. No one
was seriously burned. The building, owned
by the Parson estate, is damaged to the
extent of $4,000. The stock of Luetkemeyer
az Co. consumed was worth 500, 900; COW
cred by insurance. The furniture stock of
the Goodheart Furniture company, on one

LEADVILLE, Colo, Nov. 2O.--The most
important move made yet by the striking
miners is today announced on what is con
sidered reliable authority The statement
that the governor has decided to take
summary measures to suppress further vio-
lence here and to bring the strike to an
end has, it is said. caused the officers of
the union, with the backing of the Western
Federation of Miners to decide to play a
trump card which, they think, will fierce the
mine managers to come to their terms under
pressure from the manager of mines in
other districts OF the state. The union has
sent emissaries to all other unions in the
state to urge them to inaugurate a sym
pathetic strike thus closing up all mines in
the state, Cripple Creek and Telluride are
to take the Initiative and the other unions
are to follow rapidly.
r In this connection 1t is stated upon au-
thority that the mine managers OF Montana
have decided upon making a reduction in
wages of so cents a day very soon and this
Is expected TO precipitate a strike by the

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, Nov, 2O.-Charles o.
Kaiser has been held TO answer for the
murder OF his wife Emma +. Kaiser. who
was shot and killed on a lonely road near
Bridgeport, on the night of october 2S. The
verdict rendered by the coronur's jury this
evening holds him responsible fer her
death and adds that he was aided by un-
known persons in a scheme to defraud in
surance companies.
When the murder was committed. the
couple were driving home from Gulf Mills
villageanear Bridgeport, where they had
been delivering portraits from their store
In this city The first nowS of the Crime
was obtained from Frank Merrill a Norris
town hotel keeper, who found Kaiser madly
circling about the road shreking murder
while in the carriage near by lay the
corpse of his wife, with bullet in the
head Kaisers story was that the murder
had been committed by highwaymon who
robbed them Of valuable jewelry and money.
Next day, however, the goods were found
hidden under stones along the road and
suspicion was directed toward the husband.
Subsequent developments proved tke wo-
mans life recently had been insured In a
number Of companies for her husbands
benefit, to an aggregate sum Of SlO,5OO aud
that the couple had not lived happily to-
gether mysterious man and woman
known to have been intimately associated
with Kaiser are implicated. They held
meetings with him some days before the
murder and were seen in .he vicinity of the
spot where 1t occurred at nearly the same
time. Detectives are searching for them
and the case bids fair TO be rich in startling
revelations. The team behind which Kaiser
and his wife road had been once stolen
from ex-Mayor Jackson of Gloucester, n. j.
1t was hired September by the mysterious
woman and never returned. The inquest
was begun this morning and the evidence
adduced forms a strong circumstantial chain
around Kaiser. 1t is said that while deny
ing his own guilt, Kaiser has admitted TO
detectives that he knows the murderer
but will not reveal his identity. Kaiser
is In mil
