Crotcded Passenger StcGnser Catches Ftr.
and Many LiU.s Are Lot.

ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA, Sept. o.
A dispatch from Ufa, capital of the de-
partment of Ufa, in Southern Russia, says
that the steamer Admiral Gervai,. with
200 passengers, while lying off the town,
took fire while all were asleep.
A terrible panic ensued, owing to the
fact that, before the passenger, could dis
embark, the steamer moved into mid
stream in order not to endanger neighbor-
ing vessels.
Many passengers jumped overheard 10
escape the flames. Some were rescued,
but many more were drowned. Two were
burned TO a crisp and several others ser
iously. The total number of victims has
not yet been ascertained.

MISPLACED SYMPATHY.
Policeman Knew His Business Better
Than the Crowd.

Kind-hearted people of that class
of society further removed from want
and crime are often disposed, says the
Philadelphia Record, to look upon the
police as rough and overbearing off
Gals, who delight to ''pick on" peo-
pie unable to defend themselves. Oc-
casionally they go so far as to remon-
strate when arrests are being made,
and the result almost invariably is
that they suffer bitter humiliation.
While big parade was recently going
on in this city the spectators were
crowded close together back of the
ropes at Broad and Locust streets, and
lot of little boys were sitting on the
curbstone. Another little boy, in
knee breaches, and cap OH the back
of his head, slipped through the
crowd and took seat on the curb.
A moment later a commOtiOn was
caused by fat policeman making his
way through the crowd. He looked
around for a moment, and then
grabbed by the collar the latest ar
rival among the small boys, and
hustled him around at a lively rate
The crowd cried "ShameW but the
officer persisted, and two well-dis-
posed persons followed him to the
station to report him. At the sta
tion they learned that the little boy
was dublin joe" a notorious pick
pocket, 40 years old, and that his
pockets were filled with other peo-
pies money. No complaint was en-
tered.

The Proper Tune.

This story is told Of an eccentric
Hastings parson. One day, on visit
ing the belfry, he found a white
washer whistling a dance tune as he
worked. The parson reproyed him
sharply for choosing such music for
such a place BEG your pardon,
sir" said the man, but | forgot
where / was and then to show be
was sorry he started whistling the
cold Hundredth" Ills hand, how
ever, kept time with the music, and
so the cold Hundredth" made the
whitewash brush go wonderfully
slow. ooh, get back TO your dance
tune" the old parson shouted, "orilio
iob'll never be done" -Tit-Bits

WHAT LONDON READS.
Books and Authors Most Called for in
the Libraries.


A recent investigation in London
libraries found that the popularity Of
Charles Dickens works has not de-
clined in spite Of the talk to that effect
which is so frequently heard.
But the present report of the Lon
don libraries as to the author most
read in England to-day would never
be possible here. Marie Corelli's
works are more in demand there than
those of any other English novelist.
These results were compiled from
statistics which showed that 4,000,-
600 books circulated annually in
London among the 10000 readers
who availed themselves Of the libra
ries. Marie Coreli is thus at once the
acknowledged favorite Of Queen Vic
toria and the novelist most in demand
by the people. The law Of cause and
effect may be observable in this fact.
The one novel most read in the pub
lie libraries of London is Mrs. Henry
Woods 'East lynn" George Eliot's
"Mill on the Floss" and "Adam Bede"
are the most popular of her novels.
Walter Scott, Charles Kingsley and
Thackeray are still in steady demand.
Hall Game is one of the most popular
contemporaneous authors. Rudyard
Kipling has declined in popularity, if
the lessened demand for his works in
the Libraries may be taken as an evil
dence of the public attitude toward
him. Stevenson and Barrie continue
as popular as ever. Among the writ
ers of the romantic and historical
schools, such as Stanley Weyman,
Conan Doyle, Anthony Hope and
Rider Haggard, there has been no
noticeable loss of favor, and evidently
that school of fiction is still in full
accordance with popular taste. An in
teresting contrast to this condition is
the fact that fiction as realistic
ally treated by some of the mod
ern novelists is represented to a very
small extent in the libraries, and the
demand for it is not of kind likely
to insure place for it.
Kipling is said to maintain his for
mer popularity, so far as his poems
are concerned, and his ''Barrack
Room Ballads" are frequently asked
for. Tennyson is the most popular
of the English poets, and the present
laureate is said to appeal to British
taste so slightly that his poems are
seldom called for. Among the au-
thors who are quoted as still popu-
lar" are names which, to American
readers, are wholly unknown. The
transient popularity of a book is as
much felt in London as It is in New
York, and many works which were
once in great demand are neglected
on the shelves. The great instance Of
the collapse Of the demand for work
in this country is Robert Elsmere,"
which, after its mad vogue here, fell
into undisturbed oblivion. Curious
ly enough, the same is true Of Lon
don, and Mrs. Humphry Wards nov
ell is always mentioned as one which,
after creating a fTore, utterly
out. To-day it is practically |

ING TO THE PRESENT OUTLOOK

A SESSION NAY BE HELD IN FEBRUARY ACCORD
ING TO THE PRESENT OUTLOOK
II is probable that there will be criminal

ruary, and that number of important cases VIII
be tried there The District-Attorney office Is In
such shape that hampered by the fact OF one
criminal part alone in the County Court. the more
important cases. those which will take from TWO
or three days to a week try. have been compelled
10 wait until some better arrangement could he
made for their disposition. Disrict-Attorney
Backus however. is anxious that these cases
should be tried. some OF them Immediately ana the
Others distant date and so the Application has
been made to the Supreme Court for criminal
branch of that court. Mr. Backus coseted with
Justice Gaynor In the Supreme Court yesterday
afternoon for some time. and although he would
rot say after the talk whether he had been sue
cessful or not there is little doubt that the criminal
court will be held. II is known that Mr.. Rackus
has asked for justice and for panel of 100 jurors
and these men will probably be summoned for the
first Monday In February.
II cannot he stated positively before which Jus-
ticc the criminal trials will be had Possibly they
will be before Justice Gaynor, and If not, the most
likely man is Justice Keogh. The last time Justice
Gaynor held court for the trial Of criminal cases.
however. he adjourned 1t somewhat hastily in the
early part of the week. saying that the cases
which the Dis,rict-Atorney brought before him
Court Justice. In conseouence OF this feeling
which is shared by most OF the Supreme Court Jus
tees il is likely that District-Attorney Backus
will move in the Supreme Court only those cases
which will take several days 70 try. and which are
considered of much Importance.
District-Attorney Backis would say nothing yes
terday Of the which are 10 be tried bur there
are two or three murder cases which are known
TO be nearing a state Of complete preparation OH
the part of the prosecution and it is probable that
at lease one Of these will be moved for trial Then
there il the indictment against Harry H. Adams.
the former County Treasurer charging him win
grand larceny in msappropratnG trust funds
committed to his care by the Surrogate. This in
dictmcni was down for trial in the Supreme
Court before Justice Keorh in December. and on
the Monday morning OH which il was 10 he called
the defendant came into court with his witnesses
prepared 10 proceed. District Attorney Backus
learned at the last moment, however. that only
ffty Jurors had been summoned for the
which Justice Keogh presided. as is the custom for
the trial civil cases. and also that only thirty of
the men summoned had answered TO the rollca
He said that II would be ridiculous to the
of Mr. Adams for trial with such small panel.
