the city, much to the disgust OF the
regular dweliers there. From the
shores of the Arctic and the Pacific
oceans, and from the shores of the
Black Sea and from the borders OF
Asiatic khanates the pilgrims flock
to get glimpse of Father John, as he
is called, he being an ordained minis
ter of the Russian Greek church, to
partake of his bounty and to receive
his blessing or his healing touches.
Many lodging houses have been built
in Cronstadt by enterprising persons
where the pilgrims are crowded in to-
gether, paying what they can. Some
of the proprietors of these places have
bargained to secure the presence OF
Father John at their establishments.
OF course il is given out that Father
John Is so busy that some dnys must
elapse before he will be abe to attend;
meanwhile the number of the faithful
increases, and when a sufficient num-
Der has been got together they are as
sembled into a dimly lighted room,
into which another priest hurries,
quickly gives his blessing and as
quickly withdraws. Such shameless
deception became known to the town
authorities; the pilgrims were de-
nounced as a nuisance, and some
months ago great efforts were made to
get the nuisance abated. However,
nothing has yet been done in this di
rection, and it is unlikely that any
repressive measures will be taken.
When Father John appears abroad
the moujiks crowd to touch the hem OF
his robe or even to get within the
range of his vision. II is no wonder
that the ignorant peasants have such
faith in him when the nobility and the
educated classes seem to have a like

horse. A short time after the horse

He took the horse to a vacant field,
and, while killing it, the animal bit
him on the right arm, INJECTING a slight
wound. Shortly after the accident
Williams developed symptoms similar
to those with which the horse had been
affected, and grew so bad that DR..
Smith of Ellerslie was called and tenn
porarily relieved the stricken man.
Since that time Williams is attacked
regularly every seven hours by 6t,
which drives him insane, biting, kick

unfortunate man, who is afraid he will
bite his children or otherwise injure
them, he is chained to the floor during

Cheese Was Too Old.

Here is a story from the New York
Telegraph: "A few years ago." said
Harry Cunningham of Montana, the
late Charlie Broadwater of our state
gave a banquet to about a score OF
his personal friends. 1t was an elab-
crate spread and one of the chief items
was some 20-year-old brandy that cost
Mr.. Broadwater fabulous price and
regarding which he spoke with much
enthusiasm. At the wind-up of the
feast coffee and Roquefort cheese were
brought in, though the latter was not
commonly down on Montana menus at
that period. Sitting near the host was
one; OF his special friends, who, after
cycling the Roquefort a trifle suspic-
iously, tasted 1t, made a wry face and
showed his plate to one side. You
don't seem to like that, remarked Mr..
Brohdwater. Indeed, l do not. Char

Girl A.ieep a Week.

There is sorrow in the household OF
Albert Knepper, who lives in the tene-
ment No. 112 Canal street, for Kate,
the rosy-cheeked pet Of the family. has
been sleeping for six days in spite OF
all efforts to arouse her, says the New
York World A week ago the little
girl complained of a headache. The
next day she fell asleep while eating
dinner. On Wednesday, after partak-
ing of supper, she fell into a sleep and
has not opened her eyes since. When
she showed the first signs of illness
DR.. Gross, of No. 10 Rivington street,
was sent for. He made up his mind
that it was case of catalepsy, and did
all in his power to revive the child,
but without success. On Friday he sent
for Prof. jacob, who worked over the
little girl for an hour and then Gravely
shook his head. He will come again
as soon as the little one shows any
signs of reviving. Little Kate has been
kept alive by forcing food down her
throat by means of a tube. She Is
given only liquid refreshment, how
ever. The parents are unable to eX-
plain the child's illness. While Mrs.
Knepper was forcing liquids down the
little ones throat she thought she
heard a moan. She gave a cry of Joy
and clasped the child in her arms,
thinking she had revived. But the girl
fell back on the bed again, her eyes
tightly closed. An electric battery may
be applied. 1--WE a few thousand dol
lars" sobbed the father, land would

ChIcago's Great Tower.

There has just been completed in
Chicago the design for a gigantic
tower, which will be, when built, the
largest coliseum in the history OF the
world. Rome has its world-renowned
cathedral, London its Crystal Palace,
Paris its Elffel tower. New York its
Madison Square garden, but Chicago
is to have the highest edifice on earth.
Rising majestically to height of lisp
feet, to the eye it is pleasing in pro-
portions, symmetrical in outline and
beautiful in design. The complete di-
mansions of the proposed tower are:
Four hundred feet square at the base
and I 1852 feet In height; the elevators
will be capable of handling 10000 peo-
pie per hour; sixteen elevators will be
used to the first landing. 225 feet high;

Ring Plays "a Tune.

The most charming little ring and
interesting little curio in the world
is the property of Mr.. Temple of Lon
don. says the New York Herald. This
gentleman is a nephew of the cele-
brated Sir Richard Temple, and the
ring in question is a highly priced old
family heirloom. Its history is pathet-
ic and romantic in the extreme. In
side OF this tiny circle Of gold are the
works of a perfect little music box.
You touch a spring and hold the ring
quite close to your ear. Then you hear
the sweetest, weirdest, tiniest little
tune, which seems like a voice from
spirit land. This ring was once in the
possession Of one of Mr.. Temples an
cestors, who lived in France. He was
q stanch royalist, and in the days OF
the revolution he valiantly espoused
the cause of the unfortunate Louis and
his lovely, doomed queen, Marie An
toinette. He was arrested, thrown into
fail, where he fingered for days and
weeks. One of his few pleasures in
the gloomy solitude of his dreary dun
geon was to listen to the voice or tune
of the little musical ring, which he al
ways wore on the third finger OF his
left hand. He had inherited 1t from
his grandfather, who had it manufac-
tured in Genoa at great cost. One day
sullen-faced men, heavily armed, came
to his dark dungeon and told him he
must follow them. He knew that this
meant the guillotine. He stepped
bravely out to meet his fate, deter
mined to die like an English gentle
man and a brave man. And he did.
A strange fancy took possession OF
him just before they led him to the
block. He touched the spring OF his
little ring and lovingly held it to his
ear. 1t sang it's little tune merrily and
briskly. Then the signal came. He
laid his head on the guillotine which
a few hours before had known the life
blood of a queen. In the course OF time
the little ring found its way back into
the Temple family, but it was silent.
Its present owner took it to Lon
don ieweler, who found In the musical
mechanism a eliot of blood that for
years had lain there and impeded the
working of the machinery. This was
removed and the little ring sings again
the same little tune that beguiled the
MANY sad hours of its former owner.
