sPLENDoRs OF A PALACE.
Russian Rulers Are Surrounded with
More Than Oriental Mngnificence.


Russian Rulers Are Surrounded with
More Than Oriental Mnenificence,
No western imagination can easily
conceive the idea of the splendor with
which the Russian rulers are habitual-
ly surrounded, says the London Mail.
Chairs and tables of solid silver, ivory
thrones, ablaze with brilliants and sap
phires, walls of amber and fioous of
mother-of-pearlthese things sound
like an eastern fable, but the car has
them all. At Moscow, in the great pal
ace within. the sacred Kremhn walls,
there are not only crowns and seepters
covered with diamonds, but also sad
dies, stirrups and sets of harness COW
cred with similar gems. There are hun
dreds of swords, daggers and scimitars,
the sheaths of which are literally
masses of pearls, rubies and turquoises.
Rare tapestries, marvellous china from
Sevres and Japan, flawless gems from
Asia, priceless antique manuscripts and
jeweled book covers-these are a few
of the objects scattered about the cars
y palaces with royal prodigality.

HE HAD a GLASS EYE.
Blunder of n Physician That Caused
Much Concern.

Much Concern.
Several victims of an accident were
taken to the hospital one day lately,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Two of
them were thought to be seriously hurt.
A man, who may be called Smith, was
badly cut and bruised, and internal in
juries were feared. He had bad heart,
and had not regained consciousness
when the ambulance reached the hos
pital. An inferno felt his pulse, and,
carefully pushing back the lid of one
of the eyes, gazed earnestly att.
"Poor fellow, there's no hope for
him." he announced THE pupil of his
eye is greatly dilated, and that's sure
sign where there is heart trouble"
A little later one of Smiths friends
called at the hospital and inquired about
him. The young physician repeated
what he had said before, explaining
the method by which he arrived at his
conclusion.
(which eye was it you looked at?"
queried the friend.
''The right eye"
'Well, there's a popularity about
Smiths right eye"
THAT so? What is it?" inquired the
young doctor, with scientific interest.
"It's'a glass eye" said Smiths friend,
and the next day Smith was discharged
from the hospital.

MURDERED MINERS.

No more unjustifiable slaughter of
ionOcent men, no more cold blooded
assassination ever occurred in this or
in any other country that that of Fri
day, in Hazelton, Pennsylvania. To
think that a company of unarmed
men, marching quietly along the pub
lie highway, making no demonstra-
tons of violence, contemplating none,
should be shot down as so many
beasts of prey, by hired assassins, in
the name of law and under the sane
tiOns of the courts and the state au-
tnorities, is almost too monstrous to
admit of belief. Would God, it were
not to be believed, but unfortunately
the evidences Of the damnable deed are
too direct, too open. The twenty-four
fathers, sons and brothers, over whom
score Of families mourn as a mother
mourns for her first-born, are there in
mute evidence against their murder
ers. There with the gaping wounds
in their backs, telling the awful man.
ner in which the cowardly act was ac-
complished. Words are as unavailing
to express the feeling of the heart
at this outrage of all that is sacred
among men, as human breath against
the pittiless hurricanes of the tropics
i'm their wrath. The venality of the
courts, in denying these miners the
right to assemble and remonstrance,
rights that are as old as the cOnstitu-
ton. and which have been hitherto
unquestioned, is to blame in the first
place for this wholesale murder. 1t
requires no prophets eye to see the
terrible consequences of this bloody
deed. if these ignorant and outraged
men become as regardless of the lives
of the law officers as the officers of
the law have been of theirs. Murder
usually begets murder, assassination
provokes assassination, and unless the
state promptly denounces and Furnishes
with death the perpetrators of this
foul murder, the consequence will be
upon the head of the state. This land
of the free, this sod dedicated to free
dom and the rights of labor is desecrat-
ed as it has not been for a century.
In all former attacks upon strikers,
there has been some overt act on their
part seemingly justifying the cruel
edict that moved them down as grass
is moved by the scythe. This time theer
was none. Never before in the history
of a great strike has there been such
absolute avoidance of all rioting as
now, never before such respect for the
rights of property, and this is the re
reward of patience under starvation,
quietness under the CALLING yoke of
servitude that could not win bread for
itself and its starving little ones.
Great God! What is America coming
to? The hearts of a nation will mourn
for these dead, as the slain of injus-
tice, greed and power, praying that
to the heads of states and the nation
may come deeper sense of the rights
of our common humanity, and that no
more this thing be possible in this
dear land.

Brigandaae In Greece.

Brig ndage is rampant at the present
moment in Greece. This is accounted
for by the disbandment of large bodies
of volunteers, who, owing to the stag
nation of trade and industry, have no
employment or means of livelihood and
have taken to highway robbery for the
purpose of avoiding starvation. Most
of them were permitted to retain their
arms when dismissed from the service,
end are now putting these weapons to
private account.
