The Cznr's Eshubcraiice.

Queer stories about the czar are cir
culating in Germany. Dinner was kept
waiting recently in the Winter Pal
ace at St. Petersburg owing to the un-
expected disappearance of the imperial
pair. They had taken an afternoon
sleighride accompanied only by lady
in waiting. and an indiscreet witness
declared that he had seen the sleigh
standing near the edge OF lonely
wood outside the city. with the two
ladies in it laughing like children,
while the czar of all the Russias
hoped about on one leg in the snow,
Hopping his arms and croaking like n

orowd and the people fall back and
make way. Mr.. Saville is magis-

him pass.
In the bank itself a small, eager
crowd are peering over the counter at
strange scene within. The bank
manager is STOPPING over PROSTATE
ayure-the body of the cashier, limp
and insensible.
THAT there has been an outrage is
,,.;n TO the commonest understanding.
The floor is strewn with papers, and
stool is overturned. There must have
been a desperate struggle before the
vouny man was overpowered. The
Mace is regular wreck. At first the

dead-murdered, most probably. There

Mr.. Kelly turns white as his eyes

away at the limp hands of Mr.. Grey.
Then the doctor hurries in and makes
an examination.
"The man is not dead; he has been

Utica, New York's unsuccessful can
