RECENT DEATHS.

Dr. Zaccharin, the famous physician
of Gar Alexander III, is dead. DR.. Fac
charm was an eccentric parsonage who,
shortly before the death of Car Alex
ander III, which occurred on Nov. l,
1894, was accused of having made mis-
taken diagnosis of the cars malady,
negligence and lack of professional skill
also being alleged. In any case, DR..
Zaccharin and Prof, Legion quarrelled
violently, each accusing the other of
improperly treating the dying mon
arch. According to one account, the
quarrel was due to the brutal frankness
of the Russian physician in informing
the car of his condition, whereupon the
German professor reproached his asso-
ciate with discouraging the patient, to
which Dr. Zaccharin replied with an
angry fling at foreign interference y
and an open rupture was the result. DR..
Zaccharin threatened to leave Lavadia
for Moscow, but he was forbidden to do
so by Gen. Ticher, who threatened to
use force if necessary, to detain him.
When the death of the car became
known, the populace of Moscow was so
indignant at what was believed to be
the malpractice of DR.. Zaccharin, that
the people wrecked the doctors house.

LITTLE FAST TRorTING,
But the Boulevard Was Full of Turnouts
of All Sorts.

Monday it was the bitter cold day that
prevented much fast work on the boule-

Wednesday the snow path was soft, the
snow of the early morning having not yet
been trodden down. So in consequence
there was not much real racing. But the
weather was perfect and 1t brought out
the turnouts of all sorts, even though the
footing was not of the best.
The real speed brushes Of the afternoon
were very few and utterl~ devoid of any
significance, so far as settling the question
OF supremacy was concerned: and of the
small brigade of fast ones which stepped
up to their limit, Roam Albert was the
best His driver sent him through the
course a number of times, and the roam
was always the first one to poke his nose
across the finish.
With the warm temperature of the past
twelve hours, the snow should be pretty
well packed down. and horsemen are look
ing forward to To- of fast work this
afternoon.
