FANcIEs OF THE czARlNA.
One Is For Wonderful Russian Lace
and Another for Back Roses

One Ts FOR Wonderful Russian Lace
and Another for Back Roses.
The czarina has aroused the wrath
of all her court ladies and, rumor says.
Of the czar himself, by her studied sim
pliclty in dress. She heartily dislikes
gorgeous clothes, and If she consulted
her own wishes would seldom wear
jewels; but she has one enthusiasm,
and that is for the Russian lace which
Is made only for the Russian impe-
rial family. Years ago tribe OF lace
makers lived near Archangel and made
by hand a deep yellow lace of marvel
Gus design and texture. The Empress
Marie. wife of Alexander H., developed
a passion for this lace, and, being a
woman Of whins, sent for the lace
workers, about 200 in all, and forced
them to leave their homes and settle
in st. Petersburg. The story Of their
captivity and homeslckness is a pa
thetic one. 1he older women of the
tribe died, one after another, Of home
sickness and age, but the younger, less
submissive, we're in perpetual rebellion.
Many OF them escaped and rejoined
their husbands and lovers, and the em-
peror threatened to send the couples to
Siberia, but the empress, feeling a
slight responsibility in the matter, In
tervened The girls who stayed in the
palace married and were well provided
for, but only a few of them are still
living, and they are kept busy making
lace for the czarina. Another fad OF
the czarlna is the black rose, which
has made a sensation in st. Petersburg.
A florist named Fetisoff has produced
in his garden a rose Jet black in color,
and the finest specimens are owned By
the czarina.

Danger in Ohio.

Always holding in mind the fact that po-
lticaI managers seldom suit their language
to their opinions in matters affecting vital
party interests, it is nevertheless impor-
tant to note what the Hon. Charles F.
Dick has to say about conditions in Ohio
at present. Colonel Dick was recently
transferred from the important post of
Secretary Of the Republican National Com
mittee to the more responsible position Of
Chairman Of the Ohio Republican State
Committee. The transfer was made by the
Hon. Mark Hanna avowedly at the behest
of the Hon. William Mckinley. In the ex-
pressive vernaeular of the day this of itself
indicates to the minds OF the initiated that
there is something doing" in Ohio.
When asked yesterday what he thought
OF the political situation in Ohio Colonel
Dick replied with startling frankness: We
have fight on our hands" He added that
the turning point of the campaign will
depend upon the result in Ohio. Indiana IL
linois. Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minneso-
Ia" Keverting to the subject of Ohio, he
said: "As for US here in Ohio we shall
get right to work and keep it up until cleo
tiOn day. We shall food the State with
literature. and the best speakers in the
whole country Will be brought into the
State. Tie President will make a number
OF speeches Of a political nature to dele
cations and clubs that come to see him
at his residence at Canton, but no others"
What is the meaning of this il it be not
that the amiable Mr.. Mckinley. foresee-
ing actual danger in his own State. resumed
his residence at Canton for the heated
term" for the sole purpose of personally
directing the Ohio campaign? Manifestiy
this signifies situation more desperate
than has been recognized by even some
of the most optimistic Democrats. If there
is danger in Ohio, how much greater the
danger must be in Indiana, Illinois, Miehi-
gan, and Minnesota

more for their beverage than they have

vailing in the northern part o. China does
not spread 10 the south, where the tea

iced in inducing the southern provinces TO
join in the anti-foreign outbreak il does
not seem probable. so many merchants said
yesterday. that the tea crop OF China can
be seriously affected Ire natives who
raise tea viii be just as anxious 20 sell il
as ever and the home market cannot con

Another reason why there should be lit

is the fact that India and CeylOn and ia

than they do now were IL not for the COM
petition OF cheap China teas. Still Il this
competition should be removed by the
spread Of anarchy and war into the tea

probability that prices would advance tenn
