.RUNORS 0F A REBELLION
TARTARS ARE LIABLE TO RISE
IN KAZAN.
Serious Difficulties Facing the Russian
ces-Religious Feeling is Aroused.

LONDON, April 1O.-The St. Peters
burg correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph says: A very serious situation,
which has recently developed in the
Province of Kasan, in southeastern
Russia, a territory inhabited princi-
pally by Tartars, is likely to result IN
general uprising. Famine and ty
phus, that have long been devastating
the Nolga territory, created such ter
ribe havoc in that province that the
government was compelled to send aid,
food and Red Cross sanitary agents.
Unfortunately, rumors were circula-
ted with the assistance of fanatiCal
priests, that the representatives of the
government really wanted to convert
the Mahommedans. A genuine relig-
ious panic ensued and the government
agent everywhere met with a hostile
reception, being stoned and otherwise
maltreated, so that it became impossi-
BILE to distribute the aid sent. The gov
eminent is now endeavoring to reas-
sure the misguided Tartars.
The government of Kasan, which is
traversed by the Volga and Kama, has
a population of 100000 souls. During
the sway of the Tartars of the Golden
Horde, the province was included with
the present Russian governments of
Viatka, Perm, Simbeersk and Penza, In
the kingdom of Kasan. IT was origi-
nally peopled with Firms, who were
Vanquished by the Tartars. In 1867
Ivan Vassilyevitch II, by the taking
of the city of Kasan, long celebrated
for it's educational establishments and
entrepOrt of the commerce between ST.
IBERIA, Bokhara and Southern Russia
destroyed the Tartar power and an
neXed the territory to Russia.

HAMPTON STUDENTS.

Record While | was at Old Point
Comfort recently | rode about great
deal in the trolley cars, and noticed.
as other people who go down there al
ways do, that the Hampton students
never offered their seats in the cars
to women. One day we were return
ing from Il visit to Hampton. and the
car which starts near the school was
filled with colOred boys 10 or 20 years
of age, all wearing the uniform of the
institution. rs the ear ran along wo-
men began to get in-old and young,
black and white-but not one of the
youths had the politenesS to offer
them seat, and we witnessed the
rather extraordinary spectacle of ten
or twelve robust men sitting comfort
baly and ten or twelve women stand
ing and c!inging to the straps. | ask
ed boy nearest to my why he did
not give his seat TO one of the women.
He made no reply, but companion.
who also kept his seat, retorted: I'VE
| pay Just as much fare as they"
| | noticed the same thing frequently
lafterward. When women entered the
car white and colored men would al
ways rise if necessary and offer their
seats, but the Hampton students new
er did so, and a lady living at that
place, to whom | made the observa-
| ton one day, told me the reason. She
said the pupils at Hampton were
taught that they were as good as any
body, and that they were entitled to
the rights and privileges of citizens of
the United States regardless of their
color. and it would be a confession of
their inferiority if they surrendered
their seats. While this was proper
doctrine, the teachers at Hampton
had neglected to instruct them that
politeneSs was one of the cardinal
virtues, and that certain courtesies
were always expected from gentle
men to the weaker sex.

The relation of the cigarette to crime
was the subject of some startling sta
tistics presented before the National
Conference of Charities and Correc-
tons at Cincinnati. OF the boys in the
Illinois State Reformatory between the
ages of ten and fifteen, 90 per cent.
were confirmed cigarette smokers, and
So per cent. so addicted to the habit,
al the time of their conviction, as to be
termed cigarette fiends" by the court.
The superintendent who compiled these
figures asserts that the cigarette works
tenfold more injury to the boy under
fifteen than do intoxicating liquors,
and more than any other one factor
starts him on the road to criminal life.
While it is true that not every cigarette
fiend becomes criminal, the fact re-
mains that the habit Is acquired
through evil associations; it involves
demoralizing deception on the part of
the boy at home; and by enfeebling
health and will makes the lad an easy
prey to temptation. Prof. De Motto,
Of Bryn Mawr, visiting tobacco house
in Brazil, noticed black fluid trickling
slowly into the vat of tobacco about TO
be made into cigarettes. Upon asking
what it was he was told Rum, mo-
lasses and opium, to give spice to the
cigarette" These are specific facts,
which admit of no controversy. De
auctions thereupon can be easily made
by every reader.

Among the melancholy applications
for "leave to presume death" In the
Stella disaster was one touching in its
revelatio of a deed of heroism. The
applicant was a Miss Baker whose
father, a major, had gone down with
the vessel. Both were about to perish
when the father made a piteous APP
peal to a boat load of passengers who
were leaving the side to find room for
his daughter. One man, of whose
identity there Is absolutely no trace,
instantly stepped back to the ship and
allowed the lady to take his place. AS
the boat cleared the side the vessel
went down, carrying with it the girls
father and her unknown rescuer. How
beautiful! how unutterably sad! His
anonymity seems somehow to enhance
the heroic granduer of his death. Moth
ing would have been gained by know
ing his name. A man capable of such
a deed wants no mortuary honors, nor
the local habitation of a monument.
He belongs to the infinite Of greatness,
and his fitting grave is the sea.-Lon-

The Chinese Government is actually
showing considerable enterprise and
intelligence In It's efforts to regulate the
floods of the Yellow River. The plan
recommended by Ii Hung Chang and
his Belgian engineers was referred to
the grand council, six boards and nine
ministries, composed altogether of 200
mandarins, and after long discussion
its adoption was favorably recon-
mended to the Empress dowager. The
old lady Immediately ordered an appro-
priation of 100000 taels $1,250,0OO in
silver, 100000 taels to be furnished by
the general government and 100000 by
the governors of the provinces through
which the river runs. The board Of
revenue was instructed to order the
work commenced at once, and there
are encouraging signs that the plan
which has been recommended so often
will finally be carried out. The general
plan follows that Of the Mississippi
River commission and consists of
dredging a deeper channel for the river
and building levees or bikes along the
banks.

What is the longest day of the year
The answer commonly is: June 81; as
the shortest day is supposed to be
Dec. 81. But that is not infallible, by
any means. This year. for instance,
June 10 and 20 were both longer by a
whole minute than was the 21st. Byron,
in "Don JUAN" says: mo day, not
cen the twenty-frst of June" sees half
the mischief that just one hour of
moonlight might reveal; and generally
the date is accepted as unvarying; but
the theory does not hold.
