The death OF Archbishop Gross has caus-
ed general sorrow among the Roman Cath
olics of savannah, by whom he was deeply
loved and reyered. He was consecrated
bishop here in 1873, and his accomplish
ments in Savannah and throughout the
state, which was his diocese, are a living
monument to him. 1t was during the
third plenary council in Baltimore. to
which Bishop Gross was a delegate that
Archbishop Seghers of Oregon resigned to
re-engage In the Indian missions of Alas
ka. Bishop Gross was subsequently pro-
was a member Of the Catholic Knights of
America, and during the last six years
trlal OF that order gave much -encouray-
ing advice.
Archbishop seghers was afterwards
murdered in Alaska by a religious crank
named Fulton. The Jesuits, whom The
arehDishop had established over the va
rious missions, warned him against The
man, but he would not heed them being
man incapable of fear. In his diary. I
read with my own eyes entries but a few
Gays before his death where he himself
wrote that his companion had evincad
symptoms of insanity. On the first SUN
day in Advent the man came to the arch
bishops bedside. after brooding over the
deed all night, and with the words. arch

deliberate aim ana shot him through the
heart. The archbishop had barely time
TO cross himself and died instantly with
his hands folded on his breviary.

From the London Standard.


Constantinople-iMany amusing incidents
connected with the German Etnperor's re-
cent visit are now coming to light. 1t
appears that 10000 pounds was spent on
kiosk erected for the Emperor's use, with
out counting the furniture, which was sup
piled from the palaces The new uniforms
and accoutrements of the garrison cost
5000 pounds, exclusive of the price of the
cloth. The Sultan's presents to the i'm
perial visitors amounted to about 120, 600
pounds, besides those casually bestowed
For instance, it is stated that the coverlet
upon the Empress bed had the imperial
crown and monogram in the center en-
broidered in diamonds and pearls. On her
majesty expressing her admiration of this
work. the coverlet was Immediately pre-
scented to her.
AT the Herekeh factory eye witnesses
state that there were amusing disputes
With the Emperor and Herr Won BuIlow
over some lovely carpets. The German
foreign minister, by his freedom OF speech.
greatly astonished the Turks, whose min
listers scarcely dare breathe before the
Sultan, and he secured some of the best
specimens. Two magnificent vases adorn-
ed one of the salons at Yildiz Kiosk On
the Sultan asking Herr Won BuIoW if he
admired them as products of his own
country, he answered that he would much
like TO have a similar pair. OF course
these were at once added to his luggage
1t can scarcely be wondered that the
Turks, who have not been paid their
claims against the treasury for a year
past, are heard grumblng at this lavish
generosity. When sand was being laid
down in the streets where the Emperor
was expected to pass heard man sneer-
ingly remark: Instead of piasters we
get sand For making this observation
he was instantly arrested.
The perjury of the treasury at the pres
ent moment is indescribable. The last ex-
petition 1t has resorted to, after doubling
and trebling every petty commercial tax
is to compel every Ottoman subject to pay
piasters, instead of /, for his certificate
of citizenship. In a population roughly
estimated at over 100000, this should
bring a revenue of about 100000 pounds
but at the utmost less than a third of this
sum will ever reach the treasury, though
the population will have to pay the i'm
post.

AN AUTOMATIC RACING JUDGE.
Machine for Marking Wheels in the
order of Their Crossing IA Line.
From the London Telegraph.

order of Their Crossing IA Line.
From the London Telegraph.
1t is rarely that a cycle race meeting
is carried through without dissatisfaction
arising in some heat or final with the YER
dict of the judge. Given a hard-fought
finish, in which two or more men cross
the tane within inches of each other, and
it is difficult, indeed for the most skill
full and reliable judge to arrive at de-
cision which will not be questioned by
some one; not often, however, by the rid
ers, for in cycling the judges verdict is
final, like the umpire's in cricket. Still,
the liability to error is undoubted, and
promising effort to put an end TO it is
worthy of notice. Mr.. A. Laidlaw Baird,
an Australian wheelman, has devised
machine which seems to solve the problem
effectually, in a manner which is both
simple and ingenious. His apparatus was
exhibited yesterday afternoon al the Port
man rooms, Baker street The place of
the tape on the track is taken by a slot
about two inches wide In this slot five
strips or leaves of metal-aluminum is
used in Australa-stand on edge, They
are graduated so that the fifth, counting
in the direction in which the riders are
moving, rises slightly higher than the
fourth, and that than the third, and so
on. When in operation in the last lap they
are raised by simple mechanism so that
the fifth is about five-eighths OF an inch
above the surface of the track, and the
6est in proportion. The five leaves are
fresh painted with enamel
The first wheel that crosses receives on
the tire an impression of the five strips,
and it's passage causes the fifth strip to
fall out of action. The second wheel is
marked by the remaining four strips, the
third by the three, and so on. When the
riders pull up the wheels are examined,
and the one having five bars on the tire is
obviously the winner and the second
mans tire will bear four bars. But if the
rear wheel of the first mans machine has
crossed the automatic judge before the
front wheel of the second man, it viii
have four bars, and the latter win have
only three. Only in the rare case of five
front wheels crossing the Judge before
one rear wheel does so would place"
be marked at the dropping of each leaf.
1t viii be seen, therefore, that it is the
relation of the number of bars on the front
tires to each other than decides the posi-
ton. Thus the winner might have five
bars, the second man three, and the third
one. The enamel marks do not become
oblherated for a considerable time, even
in wet weather This machine would seem
to afford a highly efficient settlement of
a troublesome question. It has been tried
on cycle tracks in Sydney. and a large
number of prominent Australian racing
men have given their opinion in its favor.
The mechanism is very simple, and there
seems no reason TO believe that it will be
liable to- get out of order. 1t may easily
be fitted, and when IL is not required may
readily be covered over and removed, so
that 1t presents no obstruction to the use
of the track

W. IN Profus.y The Best French Pictures

After the death of Marshal .Jourdan. in
1884 he was appointed Governor of the
InvalideS. Nothing could be more touch
ing than the sight of this old veteran now
so years of age. among the mutilated and
decrepid soldiers of Napoleon. Sustained
by two servants. he would drag himself
from hall 10 hall amid the blessings OF
those old warriors, many OF whom had
seen him in the pride of manly strength
and courage lead his columns into battle.
Nearly two hundred officers and more
than three thousand men, the wreck OF the
Grand Army were assembled here, and
the oldest Marshal of the Empire placed nj
their head How striking the contrast
which Money and those few thousand
men in their faded reginentalS, presented
To the magnificent army which Napoleon
led so often TO victory.
From the Pyramids, from Lodi, Arcola
Marenco, Austerlitz, Jena, Wagram, and
Borodino where the eye rests on mighty
armies moving To battle and to victory
amid the unrOllinC OF standards and peal
ing OF trumpetS. the glance returns To the
bowed form ami gray hairs and trembling
voice of Money, as he moves. on the
shoulders Of his attendants. through the
ranks of these few aged soldiers. who have
come manned from almost every battle
field of Europe, TO die in the bosom of
France.
Time had taken what the sword left.
Napoleon. the spcIl-word which had star
tied Europe. was now spoken in mournful
accents and the fields in which they had
seen him triumph were but as dim rcmem-
brances. On far-diStant isle that mighty
spirit had sunk To rest. and the star that
had ilumincd Il hemisphere had left the
heavens forever.
What rayagcs time makes! Who would
