made in the royal palace by seam

Court to send to Paris for the evening
gowns, to London for the tailor-made
suits and to very elegant establish
ments in st. Petersburg for the every
day gowns. But the Czarina ordered
all her dresses made at home by her
own seamstress, brought from Eng
land, except few that were purchased
at the shops.
The Czarina likewise ordered the
table furnished prettily and meals
served in simple fashion. She placed
oatmeal upon the breakfast table, and
ordered the draperies pulled aside for
the sunshine. All lights were ordered
out, except in the evening and sun

Yet occasionally facts about her come
to light which are most interesting.
Her first remarkable action was in re-

to hired nurses. Her own mother had
nursed her children, so had Queen Vic
toria. Olga should receive the same.

Rodays, who is perhaps the most ener-
getic and enterprising OF the Partisan
newspaper men, has come into special
prominence owing 10 the fact that his
paper has been publishing the minutes
of the court of cassation's inquiry into
the now notorious nreyfus case. The
publication of these private minutes
has been strongly opposed by the milf
tary party in Paris, so that the daring
venture of the Figaro Is considered a

Remarkable Wounds of Volunteer

Carries n Filipino Bullet at the Apex
of the SkulI-His Left leg
Shattered by Another
BALLET.

With n bullet from a Filipino's rifle
resting on his brain at the apex of the
skull, the socket of his. left eye empty,
his left leg still helpless, but slowly re-
gaining strength, and with a steel plate
helping out the functions of his breast
bone, Private Hariey r. Smith, com
pany f, First Washington volunteers,
is the popular wonder of one of the
conyalescent ward at the Presidio
military hospital at San Francisco.
Young Smith only the other day had
the remnant of his left eye removed.
Then the surgeons probed for the bull
let that had left him half sightless and
located it in the very top of the cheer
full soldiers head. In few days an
operation will remove the bullet, which,
If left alone, the military surgeons say,
might cause insanity and eventually
death.
Private Smiths career for seven years
past has been such as few men live to
tell about. In 1898 he was passenger
on an eastern road when a smash-up oc-
Cured. Both of Smiths arms, the
right leg and breastbone We're shat
tered. He was taken to the home of
his parents in Chicago and for months
his life was despaired of. Then his
breastbone was patched up with a
steel plate. The other injuries had
healed, so when the Klondike fever
broke out in 1897, Smith, apparently as
well as ever, joined a party that en-
dured great hardships and finally be-
came stalled in the muck along White
pass.
Smith reached Seattle just few days
before the call for volunteers, and when
the call came enlisted as a private in
company f. Last April in skirmish
near San Fernando mauser bullet en-
tered his left eye and followed his skull
to the top, where it is to-day. Another
mauser in the same fight shattered his
left leg.
Smith was invalided home on the
Morgan City. The doctors say that eX-
cept for the loss of his left eye Smith
will be well and sound again. He is
able even now to hobble about the
reservation on crutches, seemingly the
cheeriest man among the scores of vic
tins of the Philippine climate and the
Filipino bullets now located at the
Preside.

M'LEANISM AN ISSUE
DO THE DEMOCRATS INVITE A COM
PARlSON7

The Abuse Of Senator Hanna by LeLenn
Recalls the washinston Gas AIaenate's
Record, which IA Years Absence From
Ohio Has Not oblitorated.
In a signed statement, published by
The GAINESVILLE Signal, John r. Mclean,
the Democratic nominee for governor
says:
Before the campaign, that will open
shortly. is over, Mr.. Hanna and the
forces that are behind him in Ohio will
appreciate that they have bigger task
on their hands than on any other occa-
sion since he became the supreme boss
of Republican politics. Ohio is good
fighting ground this year The people
are in revolt against Hanna for his
tyranny and brutality, against McKin-
ley for his subversion of the priciple
ON which American independence was
founded, and against the Republican
party for its pandering to the infiu-
ences that are hostile to every interest
of the people.
1t is surprising that such a declara-
tlon should be made by man with
McLean's known political record. The
people of Ohio have not forgotten the
Cincinnati riots. They have not for
gotten the notorious tally-sheet frauds
of 1885, of which John r. Mclean was
to have been the chief beneficiary
They have not forgotten the ruthless
manner, in which the best men of the
Democratic party have been cut down
to satisfy the personal caprice of man
who, by lavish use of money alone, has
dominated its conventions. ou
Does the Washington boss imagine,
since he removed from Ohio IA years
ago, that his political record has pass
ed out of the minds of the people?
Does he desire to set up Mechanism as
an issue against "Hannaism?" If so,
If so, the Republicans stand ready to
take up the gauntlet. Mr.. Hanna has
never bought up a Highland house
| convention. He has never ruled any
city in the interests of lawlessness and
crime. He has never been compelled
to leave the state to evade RESPONSE
bility for election frauds. Mr.. Hanna
stands before the people as a fearless
party leader, in whom the majority
have voted their confidence to fill the
highest Office they have the privilege
to confer.
The Republicans have no desire to
place personal issues over the great
questions of national policy, which de-
mand the serious thought of the people,
or over state issues, which the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor pretends
are paramount to national questions
in this campaign, but if that is the in.
tention of Mclean and his managers,
the Republicans stand ready to meet
it vigorously and fearlessly.
AS between Mechanism and Han
naism" the Republicans have nothing
to fear and if the campaign is to be
fought out on that issue they are
ready for the fray and willing to stand
by the verdict of the people.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1899-09-30

The Charleston IN. c. News and
Courier is one of the leading Demo-
cratic newspapers of the South. It's
hahed of the Republican party is we'll
known. 1t is the organ of the anti-ex-
pansionists in the Southeast. The fol-
lowing editorial utterance is sample
of the sentiment 1t seeks to spread:
"The United States flag lost all its
original beauty and significance when
1t crossed the Potomac in 1861, and 1t
received indelible stains when it was
raised over Hawaii and Porto Rico,
but it never appeared so mean and ugly
perhaps as where it fiaunts itself as an
emblem of liberty and of civilization
and Christianity over the capital of the
ravaged Philippines"
1t is almost incredible that the anti
expansionists should have spread the
above broadcast as they have done.
What must Ohio soldiers OF the Union
who followed that flag across "the Po.
tomac in 1861" think of vulgar insult
ing, traitorous "anti-expansionists
like the man who wrote the above, and
his fellows?

General A. J. Warner, one of the
most ardent admirers and enthusiastic
supporters of William Jennings Bryan,
said in addressing the Washington
county Democratic convention at Mari
eta: IF John R. Mclean is nominat-
ed he will lose the votes of 100000 old
line Democrats in Ohio"
General Warner speaks for large
element of his party which will not
openly repudiate Mclean, but will qul-
etly vote for that clean, honorable, able
statesman, Judge George X Nash as
the best means of rebuking Mclean
ism with its absentees, bossism and
othes dsreputable methods.

Our DUTY In the philipplnes.

Setting up Indian republics would
have been an utter absurdity, as every
one familiar with the character and
habits of the red man will admit.
Such experiments would equally break
down in the Philippines. We must
treat the inhabitants of that group ac-
cording to their capacities, teaching
them first of all that this country is
not to be shaken in its purpose by
armed attack.-St Louis Republic.
