terrible Horror in Russia.

A woman student of the st. Peters
burg university who had been impris-
oned for some months on the charge of
having political pamphlets in her pos
session, recently burned herself to
death by lighting her blankets with the
lamp left in her cell. The students de-
clare that she did this on account of vio-
lence offered her by a prison official.
Over a thousand students who tried to
attend memorial service for the dead
girl in the Kazan cathedral were arrest

at this critical moment will never be

FIVE-YEAR-OLD HEROINE.
Died to Save Her Little Playmate
from Drowning.
Her Memory Will Enter Into Ari-
zona's History Ms That OF the Bray-
est Little Soul That Ever Won
Martyrs Crown.

An almost unparalleled case of youth
full feminine heroism occurred last
week at Williams. in Arizona.
Little Eva May Gray, the ive-year-
old daughter of e. n. Gray, manager of
the postal telegraph Office at Williams,
was the infant heroine. She gave her
own life to save that of her playmate.
Three tiny maidens-Mazy Gray, Jen-
ME O'Brien and Maggie Brady, near
neighbors and constant playmates-
were romping on the banks of Cataract
creek, a stream that runs through the
town of Williams. 1t is usually only
narrow. dry arrayo. But for the past
week or more the warm weather has
melted the snow on the mountains near
to Williams and the creek is now
raging little torrent, swollen quite out
of its natural channel, and it is dan.
gerous for even strong manto attempt
to breast it.
Cataract creek rises far up in box
canyon on the side of Bill Williams
mountain, and when it reaches Williams
it courses through the town within a
stones throw of Jennie O'Brien's door
way. Perhaps some older heads were
to blame for letting these three small
maidens play so near the stream, but
they had done so many times before.
1t was their accustomed playground, in
fact, and though but babes in years the
children of these frontier towns are in
ured to many dangers.
Across the stream. but few yards
from Jennie's house. is a small foot
bridge. 1t was from this narrow plank
that Maggie Brady, the eldest of the
trio, lost her balance and plunged head
long into the stream. She was throw
ing fat stones into the water, trying to
skim them up the stream against the
current.
Jennie was several yards further up
the stream collecting an apronful of
stones to bring down to her playmates,
who were more skillful in casting them
than she.

DUST BY THE TON
Governor Brady Gives Some In.
teresting Facts About the
KIOndike Rush.
Steamships Pass Daily for Dyea
and Skagua Loaded With
Passengers.
He Estimates over Two Tons
Of Dust Are Coming Down
the Yukon.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-John G.
Brady, governor Of Alaska, has sent to
Secretary Bliss a personal letter in
which he gives some interesting facts
about the rush for the Klondike region.
Governor Brady has been identified
with Alaskan interests most Of his life
time, and is known to be very conserva-
tive in his opinions. Writing from
Juneau he says:
steamships are passing daily for
Dyea and Skaguay loaded to the ut
most with passengers and supplies. The
news just of Klondike by reliable
men is calculated to raise the excite.
ment to a higher pitch. The shipment
of dust by the mouth Of the
Yukon will be all of two and a half
tons. Rich finds have been made we'll
up on the sides of the mountains, and
the old saying that gold is where you
find it, and silver runs in VEINS seems
to be well emphasized in that district.
A conservative estimate is that there
are 5000 men at Skaguay and along the
trail on the White pass. But a few
only have gone over the pass with their
supplies, and only a small per cent Of
the others al get across.

From the Tribune, Greeley. Colorado

As q Tribune representative was strClilng
about town the other day, looking up items
of news, he dropped into Fezer's drug store.
This, that and other medicines were talked
of and their curative qualities analysed:
so far as lay in their power. The cura.
tive powers Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills were
talked Of, when Mr.. Falkncr. a clerk in the
store. mentioned that Mrs. Joseph Moore was
4 firm believer in their efficacy. Pursuing
his quest, the Tribune man paid Mrs Moore
q visit the next day.
Among the many good people residing in
Greeley, Colorado, Squire Moore and his
amiable wife IRE the best known and the
most respected. The Squire Is carrying his
seventy-six years as sturdily as many men
who have hot yet rounded their slxtieth mile
post. and his wife, Ann, is o fitting compan-
ton, one of those pleasant faced. agreeable
ladies, who make you feel perfectly at nome
when in their company This happy couple
were born in the same nelghtorEood. OF the
West Riding. OF York, England. in 1890: the
husband a few weeks his wite's senior and
for over fifty years they have travelled the
pathway of life together. In lSl3 they emil
grated to this country and settled in Derby,
Conn.,, where they resided for a number OF
years. While there Mr.. Moore. who was
highly respected by his ~neighbors, was elect.
ed a member Of the State Legislature in 1867.
During his residence in the United States
he has been q constant reader of the New
York Tribune, and was an ardent admirer
of its founder and great editor, Horace
Greeley. and q firm believer in that notable
writer's opinions. Through those mediums
he was influenced to come to Greeley in the
early spring of 1871, and here he has resided
ever since. During his residence in this
beautiful section of northern Colorado, he
has held many responsible public positions,
notably that of Justice of the Peace, an office
which he occupied uninterruptedly for eight
years; and four years ago was reelected to
another term, his name being placed in
nomination at the convention without his
knowledge.
The n~ewsgathercr was received cordially
and in response to his inquiries, Mrs. Moore
stated that her health commenced failing
en-, she scarcely knew the meaning OF the
name sickness in relation u herself. She
refused medical attendance or treatment OF
any kind, barring that which she drew upon
from the family plarmacopGia or dispensary.

DIDN'T CARE ABOUT STYLE

Bu> Nevertheless He Wouldn't Go Down
Town without q Necktie.
"Georgiana," said Mr.. Dalrymple,
cit seems to me that you spend alto
gether too much time worrying about
what other folks are likely to think
about you. Why don't you follow my
example and have a little ~independ-
ence? AS long as I know that I am do
ing my duty as a man what do I care
how others like my style::"
II don't know" Mrs. Dalrymple re-
piled, what you mean. In what way
have I been worrying about what other
folks think of me?:"
"Oh, in a hundred ways" her hus.
band answered. "You wouldn't wear
the waist you have on if it were not for
the fact that all the other wear
them and would think you couldn't
afford it if you didn't have one. You
wouldn't care whether you had lace
curtains at the windows if other folks
didn't have them. You wouldn't spend
money for a hundred and one other
things that you could get along with
out just as we'll as not if you were not
always trying to pose before other peo-
ple."
"Well," Mrs. Dalrymple assented,
for she was not disposed to quarrel owe
the matter, lit is perhaps as you say.
I am sorry that it is so, but I can't help
it. Aren't you afraid you'll be late at
the Office this morning? And you
haven't put on your necktie this morn
ing. How did you come to forget it?'
"By George!' he exclaimed, looking
at his watch, cts nearly 8 o'clock

forget my necktie. Where is it? I must

"Oh, never mind the tie this morn

"What!' shouted William Dalrym-
pie. go down town without a necktie
You must think I'm crazy. Why, the
boys in the Office would guy the life out
of me, and people would think l didn't
have money enough to buy one. Here
it is. Goodby."
Then Mrs. Dalrymple sat down and
thought, and two little wrinkles with
merry curves appeared at the corners of
her mouth. -Cleveland Leader.
