The elaborate system of precautions
under which the present ruler of Ger
many lives is OF rather recent date.
His grandfather, though repeatedly the
victim of would-be assassins, never al
lowed himself to be talked into any
thing like the amount OF precautionary
measures which his grandson. William
H., has gradually evolved. The only
two cases become public of attempts on
the lire OF the Kaiser were those which
happened during the past IL months at
Bremen and Sreslau. and they were of
no serious character
In Bresau IL was a crazy old woman
who threw a hatchet in the direction
OF his person. but only managed to hit
the hind wheel of his carriage; and at
Bremen it was confirmed epileptic
who threw piece of iron at the EN-
peror, inhicting flesh wound, which,
while leaving its mark for life, and not
exactly enhancing the beauty of the
imperial face, was by no means dan
gerous
II is also said by those who know
the emperor we'll that he is not afraid
of meeting death. But, nevertheless,
the emperor has sanctioned. and even
helped to devise. the present compre-
hensive and rather elaborate methods
of guarding his person against vio-
tence

SAFETY OF RULERS.
COSTLY DEVICES TO INSURE THEIR
PROTECTION.
The system In Russia Developed Into
Almost u scicnce-Emperor william
Carefully 0uarded-snght Protection
for Engiand's King.

One result OF the dire calamity
brought about by the hendish work
OF the anarchist-assassin, Czolgosz,
is to make more uneasy than or
dinarily the heads that wear a
crown. In all European countries
elaborate precautions are taken to
insure the safety of the ruling
monarchs and some OF the systems
in operation have attained such per-
fection that they may almost he term
ed science. Fanatical anarchists
ever ready to grasp an opportunity to
wreak harm to those In power, make 1t
absolutely necessary for large forces
Of armed guards to protect the heads
of governments. but, even with these
precautions, no monarch travels with
feeling OF security.
Gar Carefully Guarded.
The precautions taken to shield the
life OF the czar are greater and devised
with more foresight and at much
greater expense to the country than is
the case with any other ruler In fact,
precautionary measures for the protec-
ton of the czar's life have been devel-
Oped, for 80 years past. into a science.
These measures have, however. not
been nearly so stringent under the
present czar as they were during the
last four years of the reign of his
father. Alexander Ill. and 1t has been
largely due to the most recent cases of
regicide that the comparatively mild
system OF protection afforded the pres
ent autocrat of Russia has been rem
dered more severe
On special occasions every movement
OF the czar has been predetermined
weeks before, and very minute instruc-
tions are then issued to the higher
police officials, and from these filtered
down TO the lowest gorodovoi and to
the army OF railroad and other OFF,
cials. Uniformed police to the number
OF thousands are then used in such
cities as st. Petersburg, Moscow, etc,
and troops are employed most exten-
sively to line the road.
Quite elaborate preparations are also
in vogue whenever the car issues forth
through the public streets on his regu-
lar routine. How large IL the number
of those who day by day are forestall-
ing the ceaseless Vaccinations and
plots of the nihilists and other dissat-
isfied strata of the population is not
ascertainabie. but the number is quite
a considerable one.
II is also true that Nicholas H.. al
though a very mild-mannered and ap-
parently rather diffident man, is quite
fearless. and that the symptoms of ex-
treme nervousness which characterized
his father during the last few years OF
his life. owing TO a number of hair
breadth escapes from diabolical plots
are happily absent in his son-as yet
| But it is quite certain that at least
five distinct and well-laid plans to
/ murder the present car have beer
frustrated.

 Starting at S:45 o'clock yesterday morning, a century was finished at 6 o'clock in the evening by q motor bi- cycle, the first in this part of the coun- try known to have accomplished the fcat The total time was nine hours and fifteen minutes, but there were two delays. one causing loss of one and three-uuarter hours and the other of two and three-quartcr hours This was due to trouble with the sparkling coll. The ride was made by win R. Putnam of New York and Emil fIafef< finger of Union Hill, N J. Putnam started on the motor machine and Hafelfngcrs on an ordinary wheel, but after the trouble Hafeldnger, being a mhchanic, took charge of the motor. This was after twenty-five miles had been covered. The motor cycle ran at an average pace of eighteen miles an hour and Putnam was eleven mikes be- hind it at the finish. Except for the trouble with the sparker the 100 miles would have been finished by the motor in five hours. Yesterday was Pit mans 52d birthday, and the veteran wheelman took satisfaction in the ride, as it showed that he is not toe old to ridesa century.

 AlI1lIGl5 l -

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and womensold and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages 1t was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. tis also safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is q pleasant, harmless and abso- lutely sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

JOCKEYS LOSING.

London, April 13.-The friends of the American jockeys now in England are so far badly disappointed at the sea- sons work Not single American appeared in front at Leicester yester- day. l.. Reiff has slost fifteen out of twenty races, J. Reif, thirty-one out of thirty-six and Maher sixteen out of twenty. These failures are various W attributed to the fact that most of the English jockeys. have adopted the American style of riding or. to the inn mature condition of the American mounts One of the interesting results ofsthe American invasion is the appear ance on the turf of a new racing sad dle with sliding stirrups, which is war ranted to give q jockey an American seat without effort on his part The stirrup straps work on much the same principal as the V-shaped American fasteners. ss.' sfse

M'coY AND o,RoURKE.

Tom O 'Rourke, on behalf of Kid Me Coy, in agreeing to fight. Sharkey, winner to take all. appears to have put it up to the Sailor to either make a match or back down. McCoy's orig inal proposition to Sharkey provided for a losers end, ebut the Sailor came back with the winner take alI' argu- ment. which was promptly accepted by 70 Rourke. Those who remember McCoy's. battle with. Sharkey-sat the Lenox club will~recall the fact that if it had not been for O'Rourkes advice the Kid might have won. Tommy Ryan was helping O'RourlSe behind Sharkey and Ryan's instrlctfons were to go. in and box Mccoy with clever ness. Sharkey tried to do flhs ana was Knocked down twice nsthe: third round. Then O'Rourke 4wayed Ryan aside and ordered. Sl1arkey to change his tactics with the result that Mccoy was beaten down in the next few rounds by sheer strength. With ORourlxe behind Mccoy and the latter improved in physical condition some ring followers believe that SharSey in another mix-up with the Kid would have his hands full to the finger tips.

FIGHTS IND FIGHTERS

Everhardt Struck snag in Cape Town-Joe Bernstein Does Little
 Talking Terry McGovern With the
 Horses-Tom o'Rourke Talks For
 Mccoy.
 With the first attainment of. pugilis- tic glory the young mans fancy light ly turns to thoughts of the stage. The boxer is no doubt animated by the same desire for the plaudits of the populace as impelled ancient warriors to parade, laurel crowned. before the shouting people. Nearly every fighter of any prominence has made his bow before the footlights, and some have been successful.
 It is questionable, however, if any boxer ~ascended the stage on such slight provocation as Marvin Hart, the Louisville nliddleweight. Although in the ring less than twelve months, and having defeated but one man of merit Tommy West-yet Hart has burst upon the drama with i rush. He has joined the "Knickerbocker Burles- quers," with which vaudeville com pany he will star for three months as a boxer and claimant for middleweight ,honors.
 Hart signed 6 three months con tract at $100 per week to box three rounds with a sparring partner at each performance of the company during that length of time.
 Before leaving Hart stated that he thought he was entitled to Il rest, hay- ing climbed near the top ir his class within q year. He engaged i'll fourteen fights and won all of them, knocking out thirteeens men and winning from 4'Ixid" Hubert on a foul. He says he will not fight on Derby night under any circumstances because of the pres ent condition of affairs pugilistic, two clubs having bid for his services, but says he will return to Louisville and fight as soon as his theatrical engage ment ends.
 If Hart really gets the $1O0 per week it will prove more profitable than fighting under present conditions.
 EvERHARDT STRUCK A SNAG.
 Everhardt's first opponent at Cape Town was a man named Labor, whom he defeated in one round. Then he undertook to whip two men in one night, fellows weighing twenty pounds more than himself, tackled the first fighter, one James Walker, and ran against a snag. Everhardt punched the man at will, deyoting five rounds to his stomach and four to his jaw. Walker simply could not be put away. In the ninth round Everhardt struck Walker after the gong had sounded and the latter claimed a foul Ever hardt did not hear the gong because of the applause of the spectators and the foul was not. allowed by the referee. Walker refused to continue. After the battle it was found that Everhardt had broken q bone in his left hand.

Hoping to hear from some of the local clubs at an early date, as would like to fight out here before go back to, New York. or I will fight FrAnk Erne -he is to weigh 130 pounds ringside and I will weigh 124 pounds ringside, or I will meet Toby Irwin, 123 pounds, at 8 o'clock the day of the con test.

CAUSES OF DEATH.

\ BULLETIN has just been issued by the
4 y United States Census Bureau in which
comparison is made between the death rates in
this country for 1890 and 1900, and it may be
confidently asserted that few statistics published
by that branch Of the government possess such
gratifying character. 1t appears that there was
falling off of nearly 10 per cent in the propor-
ton Of deaths to population during the last dec
ade of the century just ended, while the average
age at which Americans now die is put at 35.2
years, as against 31.1 in 1890. A gain in lon
gevity of Is per cent is here Indicated AT first
the announcement seems little incredible. The
figures hold good, however, only for cities of
eight thousand inhabitants or more, and hence
are in one sense partial. 1t is doubtful if the
Improvement has been so rapid in the rural
regions. Still, if the conditions of city life are
here accurately represented there is certainly
occasion for profound congratulaton.
Ana ysis of the bulletin here referred to shows.
moreover, that "the great white plague" which
for SO many years claimed more victims than
ny other malady, no longer stands at the head
of the list. The death rate from consumption
was 245.4 for every 10000 persons in 1890 and
only 1908 in 1900. No other disease shows
