New York Sun: Ten or fifteen Of
the buyers for out-of-town mercantile
houses, who at this season gather in
the city, stood in front of the Sturte-
want house recently. They found di-
version and amusement in ogling
women who passed. When none was
passing they turned to any women who
could be seen in the hotel windows.
One woman who had a room on the
first floor seemed to be particularly
annoyed. While the men were still
trying to attract her attention a man,
evidently her husband, entered the
room. Soon he came to the window,
looked out and vanished. A moment
afterward he reappeared with pitcher
Of water, the contents of which he
emptied on the men who stood in front
Of the hotel. Few of them escaped
without ducking. The buyers raised
a howl, and so large a crowd collected
that the cable cars were stalled for
about five minutes. One of the buyers
told a policeman what had happened,
and demanded the arrest of the man
who had thrown the water. The po-
iceman concluded to make no arrest

This was, then, the terrible fort
ress where so much OF tbs true
strength OF Russia had persisted during
the last two centuries, and the very
name of which is spoken in St Peters
burg in a hushed voice, says Prince
Kropotkin in the Atlantic. Here Peter

Princess Tarakanova was kept In

dation-the rats climbing upon her TO
save themselves from drowning; here
the terrible Minich tortured his enc
mics, and Catherine II. buried alive
those who objected to her having muir
dered her husband. And from the
times Of Peter l., for hundred and
seventy years in succession, the annals
Of this stone mass which rises from
the Neva in front of the Winter
Palace were annals o. murder and tor
ture, of men buried alive, condemned
to slow death, or brought to insanity
in the loneliness of the dark and damp
dungeons. Here the Decembrists, who
were the first to unfurl in Russia the
banner Of republican rule and the abo-
lition OF serfdom, underwent their first
experiences Of martyrdom, and traces
OF them may still be found in the Rus
sian Bastile. Here were imprisoned
the poets Ryleef and Ehevchenk0. Dos
toevsky, BakuRin, Chernyshevsky, Pts

writer's. Here Karakazoff was tor
tured and hanged. Here, somewhere
in the Alexis raVelin, is still kept
Nechayeff, who was given up to Rus
STA by Switzerland as a common law
criminal, but is treated as a dangerous
political prisoner, and will never again
see the light. In the same raVelin are
also two or three men whom rumor

NEW TURTLE MAKES HIS DEBUT
Johns Hopkins University's Present from

Johns Hopkins University's Present from
Officers of the Wilmington.
Stewards barkentine Priscilla, Capt
Springsteen, from Rio Janeiro, arrived
the other day with $4,000 bags OF cof-
fee and an embryo menagerie on board,
says the Baltimore Sun. Every sailor
had a parrot and one had a monkey,
which he cherished with almost pa
rental affection. Alongside these pets
of the crew Capt Springsteen had an
fmprovised aquarium-three specimens
o. small turtles, which had been placed
in his care by officers OF the United
States gunboat Wilmington. The tur-
ties were babies" of that family, gath
cred in the highest waters Of the Am
azon, up which the Wilmington navi-
gated as far as she could find water to
float her. They were placed on board
the Priscilla in Rio Janeiro to be de-
livered to the Johns Hopkins univer-
sity in this city. One has a peculiar
head, upon which are ears a donkey
would be proud of, and a mouth that
opens wider than a negro minstrePs.
The head does not seek cover under the
shell, like other turtles, but closes up
like an accordion. These queer little
specimens have had the tender solic-
itude of Capt. Springsteen on the voy-
age. One became so tame as to eat out
Of the captains hand. The donkey
cared, telescope-headed fellow, no
doubt, proud Of characteristics not nat
ural to his fellow turtles, refused to re-
ceive his rauons until dropped into thH

REASONS WHY HORSES shy.
H1Iaoro1s ExpIsnG<ion OF Their Fear ef
Newspapers.

Newspapers.
The mortal terror OF newspapers %
which even the most intelligent horse
is prey is certainly a mystery. If
horse meets a torn newspaper lying
In the middle OF the road he is seized
with a conviction that il is on the
point of tearing him to pieces. and
accordingly he falls into a spasm OF
terror. 1 presume that the scientific
explanation OF this fact is that the
prehistoric horse was severely abused
by the newspapers OF the time, and
that his descendants have thus inner
tied a horror Of newspapers. But, Hike
most scientific explanations OF familiar
mysteries. this would not be worth no
ucing- Why should the prehistoric
newspap ers have insulted the horse?
Did the cave men lose their money on
horse races and then write abusive let
ters to the newspapers, pointing out
the untrustWorthy character OF the
horse? 1t is very doubtful IL they did
anything Of the sort. chiefly for the
reason that newspapers did not exist
II prehistoric times. To come back to
the horse and his fear OF newspapers.
It may be said that the newspaper ter
Tihes him because ii moves in the wind
and he thinks it is alive. But the
leaves OF trees move in the wind and
tEe huaaR boz moves vita or without
wind under the very hoofs Of the horse.
yet the horse is not afraid OF these
things. Clearly he is not afraid OF q
stray newspaper because 1t may be
blown across his path. Moreover. he
is as much afraid of a newspaper that
does not move as he is OF one which is
in motion. The true exhibition of
horses fear of a newspaper is that in
the code Of equine etiquette it Is con-
sidered good form to appear to be-
afraid OF newspapers. All animals have
their ideas as to what is good form
and cling tenaciously to them. The dog
does not bark at very young children,
because it is contrary to canine ETH
Quette to do so. The cat, who is an
infexible stickler for good form. plays
with a half-dead mouse merely because
playing with half-dead mice is consid-
cred among all cats of good breeding
to be the correct thing to do. The
horse, knowing that If he did not pre-
tend to be frightened nearly out of his
life by newspaper he would be re-
garded by all other horses as an ignor-
ant and ill-bred beast. SHES whenever

OCCUPATIONS AFFECT FACES
Each Pursuit of Man Has Facial Type
Easily Recognized.

Each Pursuit of Man Has Facial Type
Easily Recognized.
"a mans occupation or condition
has more to do with making his face
than most people think" observed a
gentleman who is somewhat a judge
of character. Intellectual pursuits,
like the studies OF the scholarly pro-
fession, when coupled til temperate
and good moral habits Of life, brighten
the face and give the person refined
and superior look. Magnanimity of
nature or the love of study and art will
make bright, glad face, but contrary
to this, a man may have 8 face that
does not please anybody because of a
love of self to the exclusion OF others,
Notwithstanding his learning and
worldly shrewdness. Soldiers get a
hard, severe look; reporters look in
quisitive: mathematician look studi-
Gus; judges look grave, even when of
the bench; the man who has had do
nestle trouble looks all broken up
An example Of the Iudicrous side of
this subject is to see third-class law
yer stalking around a police court
looking as wise as an OWL The busi-
ness makes the face, 1 say. There's
the merchants face, the ministerial
face, the lawyers face, the doctors
face, the hoodlum's face, all so distinct
each from the other and singIy that I
seldom fail to recognize those ca1lings
shining through the faces. And what
city-bred boy cannot recognize genu-
inc farmer the moment he sees him on
the street? '-Washingto Star.

ton, of course. of England, the United
States is represented by larger num-
Der of citizens in the Transvaal than i.
any other foreign nation. In fact
there are more Americans than French
Dutch or italian in the Boer repub-
lie, close upon 1000 in all And this
aside from the very considerable
amount of American capital that is in
vested in TIE mining industries of the
country, gives the United States direct
interest in the trouble now in progress
between Great Britain and President
Kruger.
This interest is accentuated By a law
passed by Boer legislature the other

forced to take up arms in hehsIf of the
Beers against the English in the event
of war, disobedience to the terms Of
this decree involving trial by court
martial, followed by Imprisonment or
death.

that war between the Beers and the
English has become inevitable since

SISTER MORA.

The Frolic was a cargo boat, but she
carried passengers when she could get
them. It was suggested that she had
been christened the Frolic in bitter
irony; she certainly never justified the
name, not even when she rolled her
very best; it was a portentous, pound
ing roll that put deck cargo in deadly
peril.
When the Frolic dropped down the
Mersey one late spring afternoon she
had three passengers on board, all
men. Each had probably chosen to sail
in the Frolic because the fares were
low-that, at any rate, was John Gre
gan's reason, which he made no scruple

They were three days out when a
fourth passenger Unexpectedly ap-

triever dog, glossy-coated, well-fed,
perfectly at his ease, and inclined to
be polite to every one on board. He
went onto the bridge to see Capt. Ham
