RULED sY A MAD GOVERNOR.
Siberian Province Suffers Long from
the Conduct of an Insane Official.

the Conduct of an Insane Official.
In the town of Gischiga, in Siberia,
the provincial governor, Sosnin, has for
some time past been quite mad, and has
been discharging his administrative du-
ties in most extraordinary way. The
orders which he gave the soldiers and
civil officials were always unreasonable,
and frequently exceeded the bounds of
possibility. One of his favorite amuse-
ments, for instance, was to order the ar
rest of 4 number of respectable towns
men, load them with chains and send
them to prison for an indefinite period,
Al other times he would approach the
sentinels stationed by the powder mag
azine and order them to leave their
posts. If they followed his directions
they We're severely punished for desert
ing their posts; if not, they We're still!
more severely punished for disobeying
| their superior officers command. An
other pastime of the governor was to
threaten to hang his junior officers, and
one who resists an attempt to arrest
him for this purpose was degraded from
his rank.
Repeated representations were made
10 the authorities at St. Petersburg, but
1t was only recently, after this state OF
affairs had lasted for IS months, that
the lunatic governor was removed from
his post and conveyed to an asylum.

Relationship Which Did Not Prevent
Man from Getting Work.
Before 1 got into the government

ports the Washington Star, 81 was EN-
ployed as kind of general manager for
a lumber company in the mountains of
North Carolina. One of my especial
jobs was to look after sawmill the COM
pany had well up in the hills, and one
day it became necessary to have n man
in an emergency. There was no one
near to respond to the call, so l asked
one of the gang from the river where
the extra man was wanted if he could
find help.
81 reckon 1 kin, cap he responded,
in the indefinite manner of the noun
taineer.
"'Who is it?'

"'Two mile'n a half, = reckon

NEGRO PRODIGY.
Though hUneducated He Is n Lightning
Mathematician.

Robert Gardhire is negro, and an un-
educated one, but when it comes to fig
ures he can't be stopped by any mathe-
matician in the world, says the Angus
ia Chronicle. He is a humble resident
of Augusta, and is employed as a la
borer at the Interstate Cotton Oil com
pany. In multiplication Gardhire is
as quick as thought. Before the aver
age person can set the figures down
with a pencil Gardhire has given the
correct answer, and yet he cannot say
how he does it.
He was asked what was the sum total
of 90 times 67, and without repeating
the figures to himself Gardhire an
swered offhand: "6,G63." How much"
asked one, lis sol times 52?" Without
stopping second Gardhire replied:
"1G,032." And thus for over half an
hour numbers were thrown at him and
he gave the correct multiplication like
flash. In the multiplication of frac-
tions the man is equally proficient,
and there seems no limit TO his powers,
which are almost occult.
Gardhire cannot remember when he
first became aware of his power, and
does not even know how he discovered
it. He says that when the figures are
| given to him he sees their answer i'm
mediately. Simply by glancing at a
long line of figures he can tell imme-
! diately what their sum is.

HARD FIGHTERS IN LAW.
Clients Dislike Being Told That Their
Cases Are Poor.

Cases Are Poor.
"Clients love a hard fighter and the
onlookers are impressed with his ZEAL"
says Richard d. Doyle in an article on
Law and Lawyers" in the Southern
Magazine. "In my own experience i
have had cases where l advised my
clients not to sue because l was sure
they had no chance, and, although they
followed my advice, instead of employ.
ing other counsel, they refused to pay a
reasonable fee and in one case left me to
pay the court costs. And l have seldom
advised client to compromise or sub
nit to arbitration that did not dis
please him. 1t requires moral courage
to advise one against his inclinations,
but it is sometimes a lawyers sacred
duty. Whatever may be said as to it's
morality or true wisdom, yeti must say
that regard this aggressive and parti-
san spirit more conducive to modern
success than profound judgment, for l
have seen lawyers succeed chiefly by
reason of it in whom the logical faculty
was not at all conspicuous. In speak
ing of success, it will be observed that
do not mean the eminence of such men
as Erslline, Writ, Webster, William
Pinckney, Rufus Choate and Charles
O'Connor, but such success as is at
tained by the leading members of the
bar in every town or city of the United
States, who have good practice, some
times very lucrative, though they arr

of their neighborhood when they are

BRITISH SAIPYARDS.
The Thousands of Men Employed in
Thcm Across the Water.


Of marine engineers alone there are
over 1000 employed on the Clyde, and
in the boiler shops slightly over 1900
more men, in the shipyards full mus
ter of filters, platers, riveters, calkers,
carpenters, joiners and laborers would
add more than 10000, and over and
above would have to be included an
army of draughtsmen, clerks, time
keepers and counters in proportion.
These, says a writer in Casters Mag
azine, are official figures.
Belfast, where no official figures are
available, may safely be set down as
employing 6,000 men, and about half
that total is the measure of the indus
trial activity in one commercial capital
in Ireland. Taking the extensive re-
pair work into consideration, 5000 men
represent about the total on the Mer-
sey; in the royal docllyards at Penn
broke, Davenport, Portsmouth, Chat
ham and Sheerness, 23,040 men are en-
ployed, of whom about a third are in
the engine shops; and on the Thames,
which is, despite its decadence in ship
building, an engineering center, the
total number of men employed in the
industry is approximately S,oo0-3,ooo
shipworkers and 5000 engineers. OF
the northeast coast of England the to-
tai, including the Humber, is not far
short of 10000, of whom about two
thirds are shipyard hands.

The corps of United States engineers
who began the work OF making COM
plete survey of the Ohio river from
Pittsburg to Marietta last summer,
will resume operations after the June
rise. Their boat, especially fitted for
the purpose, which has been tied up at
East Liverpool since last fall, will then
be taken to Industry, Pa, where they
stopped work last fall. Beside sur
veys, the river will be sounded every
twenty-five feet, and it will require
several months to complete the work
as far down as Marietta. Wheeling

A Proposed DIonume,t

A meeting was held in Washington to
organize Soldiers and Sailors Ma
tional Manument association. Its OBJ
ject is "the erection of monument at
the capital of the nation in honor and
memory of the officers and enlisted men
of the army and navy of the United
States who fell in the war of the rebel
lion, which shall serve as perpetual re-
minder to the present and future gen
erations of the sentiment entertained
by all loyal people for the soldiers and
sailors who risked their lives in the
defense of their country"

Paganini was almost as celebrated as
for his violin playing, says the Troy
Times. 1t seems that at the time the
great violinist was giving his concerts
in London he resided in Regent street
quadrant, and when he practiced it was
with q mute on his violin so that nobody
might hear but those who paid for the
privilege of his public performances.
His fame reached his laundress, who
had power of appreciating artistic
greatness which ought to have promoted
her to a more. elevated position than
that of presiding over washtub. She
was seized with an irrepressible desire
to participate in the wondrous infiu-
ence his marvellous bow had over his
magic fiddle; consequently when she
brought home his linen on the next oc-
casion she sent up her humble and mod
est request that he would be good
enough to give an order for the gallery
to hear him play at his next concert.
He complied readily and sent her down
a pass or two, but when her account
was settled she was startled to find that
the price of the two admissions was de-

The merry month of May is here,
The weather's getting dry and hot;
While in some cool secluded spot
The red nosed man now sips his beer.
And while he drinks behind the screens,
His care-worn wife from day to day
To keep the grinning wolf away,
Is on the hillside hunting greens,
He loafs around the lazy sot
This human shark that we call man,
With fishing pole and oyster can,
And never seems to have thought
That while he's lying in the shade
His precious wife. with hoe and spade,
Is digging up the garden spot

The Klondyke excitement does not
abate. Everybody is anxious to learn
all about it, and thousands have decid-
ed to visit the diggings next spring.
Some will change their minds, still
many. no doubt, will take it in. There
is nothing SO hazardous, you know, but
there are some who are willing to try
1t. Klondyke, in the language of the
street, is simply a gamble. Like the
..ottery, you put in your money, but you
seldom draw a prize. But it makes good
reading, and everybody is anxious to
learn all the cold facts.

That consumption can be cured is the
hope once more held out by Prof. Rob-
ert Koch, a German scientist whose
name was on every tongue seven years
ego. Koch's "tuberculin," which was
shen tested, with ~unfavorable results,
was a preparation Of the bacilli of tu-
e%erculosis. The present treatment also
consists of hypodermic injections of
these bacilli, but with this difference,
that the bacilli have been broken up by
mechanical means in order to facilitate
their absorption. Doctor Koch does
lot promise that the new tuberculin
would be useful when the malady had
reached an advanced stage. He does
affirm that "a large number of suitable
patients" have been cured by it. It is
noticeable that European scientists
treat this claim with great respect-a
certain indication that, in their view,
Doctor Koch's twenty years study of
tuberculosis may at any time be
crowned with full success.

No Hope from the Present Congress.
It is announced that the American
Federation of Labor officials have
given up hope Of getting legislation
from the present congress-. They would
be much more in the way of progress
If they would give up one for all the
practice of bowling and begging for
class privilege in the same breath. No
one is entitled to rights or privileges
because he is a workingman; but all
are entitled to right and justice because
they are men and citizens. Petitioning
for anything in the name of working
men savors toe much of fake" bust
ness-which, indeed, it usually is. Not
because they are ~workingmen, but be-
cause they are men. Let them stand
up erect, scorning special considera-
1ion on account of vocation. A man is
a man before he is a blacksmith; and
when he. ceases to be a blacksmith.
even though he become a Rockefeller
or a Hanna, he is still only a man.
