 She was sA get little woman, with big brown eyes and a pretty air of de termination and hardly summoned for titude, as she led a 4.year-old boy into an up town barber shop.

 But that couldn't last long. Her hands were beating neryously on tke arms of the ohair, and rile toe of q dainty boot made ratza-tat-tat on the tiling. She shifted uneasily in her seat, and pretty soon her head turned again, very slowly this ti1ne, until she could see the devastation the shears had wrought.

The commercial treaty between Aus. tria and Bulgaria which was on the point of being negotiated at the time when Prince Ferdinand made his hum ble submission to the czar, and which has hung fire ever since, is finally about to receive signature and ratification. Bulgaria has only obtained this by means of sacrificing number of de. mands which Austria had formerly con. scented to concede, but which she now refuses to grant. Inasmuch, however, aa most other countries had declined to ratify their new treaties of coamerce with Bulgaria until that with Austria bad been arranged, there WAS practical ly no other course opan to Prince Eerdi- nand. The treaty with Austria provides for g general Bulgarian duty of IA per cent sa yalareia, while SG specified ar. tieles are excepted. These include tiin Der and agricultural machines, which pay per cent; glassware, 12 per cent, and sugar, IS per cent.

The report of the Russian prisons de- partment has just appeared in St. Pe- tersburg and contains some remarkable statistics It appears that there arc 87o prisons in Asiatic and European Rus eia, with the total number of 100, 913 prisoners. The maintenance of this vast army of criminals, many of whom are merely political offenders, involves an enormous cost, for which adequate pro- vision is not made by the state. The consequence is that in the majority of cases the inmates of the prison have to endure the worst conceivable sanitary conditions and the official figures, which are invariably optimistic, show that 10 less than 30 i- acs5s cf tho pris. on population suffer duri9s tic year from typhoid fever and kindred epidem. ies.

The agitation which has recently taken place in France regarding ex-Cap- tain BFeyfus, condemned to imprison- ment for life for betrayal of military state secrets, has had the effect of caus. ing the government to institute addi- tional measures for the prevention of any escape of the captive.

Grand Jurors.

The new grand jury will convene on
Tuesday morning, April 6. Until that
time it's composition will be a secret to
all but the clerk of court, the sheriff and
the members of the bench.
The position taken by Judge Smith
and Clerk Dickey, last Thursday, in re-
fusing to publish the names of the grand
jurors has been endorsed by all the other
members of the bench. It is felt that
every precaution is needed to protect the
grand jury against all attempts to intlu-
ence it. Not that the Judges fear that
the members OF the newly drawn grand
jury are susceptible to such influence,
but tnay think that even the remotest
chance should be provided against.
Judge Smith, when speaking of the
matter, says that the times are too tick
fish, and the rumors Of corruption among
aldermen and public officers too frequent
to permit any laxity which might tend
to throw obstacles in the course OF just
