Church. which has been building churches and monasteries in many places and establishing schools in which the Russian tongue is taught exclusive ly. The big Russian monastery is prominent object in Jerusalem. and common rumor assigns to it a slgnifi- canoe that is not altogether religious, It has been declared to be practically as much of fortress as church, and 1t is reputed to contain within its se- cret recesses huge quantities of arms and munitions of war. Not long ago a Russian Grand Duke was present at the inauguration of a church upon Mount Olivet, when imposing ceremo- nies were held. A striking feature of the building is a tower of remarkable loftiness. Now the whispered story is that this great shaft is really intended to be a signal tower In case of emer- gency, and that from it it would be possible to flash message even to the Mediterranean. An active agent in Russian interests is the Orthodox So- ciety of Russia, which is supposed to derive its chief sustenance from the government. Its objects are the en- couragement of Russian pilgrimages to the Holy City and the dissemination of the true faith.

ANOTHER GOOD DAY.

Yale luck up to date. The second Jay Of the Bicentennial was even better than the first, so far as the weather was concerned, and it was all right in other ways. The day was beautiful and balmy, and in every respect just what a Bicentennial day ought to be. All was merry as a marriage bell, ex- cept the performances which had to be solemn, and even those were pleasantly solemn. Everything went off smoothly. and the illumination and parade last evening were gorgeous They were seen by vast crowds. Probably there were never before so many people on the streets of New Haven at one time, but there was no disorder and no trouble of any kind. Everybody was polite and considerate, and the only spirit in evil dence was the Yale spirit. That was surrounding and permeating.
 Fair weather is promised for to-day, and the doings are going to be very in- teresting. Three days is a long time to be filled with enthusiasm, but the indi- cations are that the supply will hold out, and though the celebrators may be little tired they will be happy.

CHANGkS lN PAPER KING.

Our neighbor Massachusetts is sur prised and pained to learn that she Is losing rank in one of her most inn portant industries. The census returns show that during the last ten years the manufacture of paper and pulp in this country has had great increase, the amount of capital employed having in creased more than S8 per cent, and the value of the output more than 6l per cent. The State showing the greatest gain in this respect Is New York, where capital employed in this line of manu facture has been augmented in the last decade from $17, 100000 to 10000 so that that State now leads the list in amount thus invested as well as in gross product, although the percentage of gain has been greater in Maine than in any other State in the Union. Ten years ago Massachusetts headed the list as the State having the largest capital invested in paper mills and as the State having the largest productive capacity so far as values were con- cerned. If total values are taken into account, she still stands at the head of the list, being in this respect a little more than $10o, 900 ahead of New York State. Thus out of total production in the United States of fine paper of 15,895, ,00o in value, there was pro- duced in Massachusetts last year fine paper to the value of s11, 29s, 900, or ap- proximately three-fourths. In the value of book paper Massachusetts was ahead of competitors elsewhere, al- though Pennsylvania, which in this re- spect made a gain in the last ten years of nearly 100 per cent, comes now as Q good second. Massachusetts fell off greatly in the manufacture of wrap ping paper. a class of business which more than doubled itself in the State of New York, and made almost the same Rdl1l III IellHsy " dild IINeii Wisconsin, which ten years ago could hardly have been looked upon as competitor, outranks Massachusetts this year in this class of business.
 Massachusetts may be losing some importance as maker of paper, but she is still celebrated for her use of Dager.

Then three or four 1.-the, red bodies churn through the water and it is a merry fight for the birds. To hold two or three wounded, struggling, diving ducks in deep water is no small task, and only the long practice of the Pima gives the perfection which makes the feast at the tepee that night
 The Seri and Cocopah Indians, along the lower Colorado and the gulf, adopt even more interesting method of get ting their game. The older bucks, with bows and arrows, secure the birds in the good, old fashioned manner, but the younger boys use plan more diffi- cult and less certain. Early in the morning, before dawn, they arrange in the water of the bayous light horse hair riatas, weighted and buoyed, until they float about three inches below wa ter level Then, attaching to their traps long and strong lines, the boys lie in wait for the coming of the ducks When the birds settle in the water and finally congregate about buoy, there Is long, sharp and hard pull, and one or two and sometimes three ducks are hauled to dry land and the stew pot Correspondence of the Kansas City Star.

DuCK-HuNTING IN ARIZONA.

Last December a party of New York and California hunters made trip from Yuma down the river and gulf In small steamer, and brought in what Is believed to be the largest bag of ducks ever known, In two days ride down seventy-fve miles of the river, they killed more birds than could be packed into the hold on the deck of the steamer, and before they had reached the mouth of the Colorado eight of the ten men in the party were nursing shoulders that were so badly bruised by hundreds of recoils of the breechloaders, that they were unable to shoot again for days When Guaymas was reached, and the count made, it was found that thirty eight hundred ducks were on the boat. For two days the population of the Mexican port revelled in a great free banquet of duck meat.
 The duck season in Arizona does not open until October 15, but already kill ing has begun along the Colorado and the irrigated lands to the east and north. Game laws in Arizona are usu ally considered mere matters of form,
 
 their enforcement, except in regard to deer, which are closely guarded from the outlaw hunter. In the alfalfa and grain fields of the various agricultural districts, ducks can be shot after every irrigation, the water on the lands rais- ing the insects to the surface and pro- viding the occasion for the onslaught of the hungry birds from the north. Frequently the ranchers are able to shoot ducks from their door yards and last winter a large flock of canvas backs settled down along a canal, which passes through the heart of Phoenix and for week kept uptown during the feeding hours of the night
 Down along the Gila river, the Pima Indians kill the ducks in large num- bers, using only clubs as weapons Creeping like snakes through the thick brush which leads close up to the banks of the stream or it's bayous, three or four Pima lads will emerge suddenly and simultaneously upon the bank and within q few feet of a flock of ducks. Each Indian is armed with a salf-dozen short heavy clubs, and each lets fly a missile, as the frightened, squawking ducks arise. Sometimes two-foot mesquite stick brings down two ducks, and rarely misses one. Then, before the flight is fairly started, another vol ley is launched, and two or three more wounded birds drop to the water.

NOT PUPELJR.

The proposed new German tariff isn't altogether popular in Germany. where it is regarded as against the interests of the great bulk of the German people, since 1t will greatly increase the cost of liv- ing for everyone at time when man. ufacturing and trade are much pros- trated and there are many idle hands. It is not popular in the United States, because if it goes into operation it will cut off some trade which this country now has and likes. And 1t is also un- popular in France, Belgium, Italy, Aus tria and Russia. where 1t will cause great disturbance to the existing trade relations. This disturbance threatens to extend to the field of politics. Aus tria in particular, and the Hungarians more than any other of the peoples composing that polyglot empire, are in- clined to take a very strong stand. Not only is it threatened that the new German tariff will be met by abrogat- ing existing treaties of reciprocity and by a refusal to negotiate any new ones, cutting off the German trade with the Austrian Empire and prohibiting the transit of German goods to the Balkan states, but 1t is also declared by the Austrian premier that the Triple AL lance itself will be endangered If the proposed policy of Germany is carried into effect. Such a result could scarce ly fail to bring about a political crisis
 Perhaps the German authorities will discover that they can't afford to push their tariff scheme through, It has already made much disturbance, and will make much more if 1t is persisted

 general of Paris, was at Vichy on one occasion and Tournadre, who was with sntu sou. asked him for louis The sheer audacity of a beggar he had never seen before took away Bertrand 8 breath and he gave Tournadre hand
 rn,ne sum. Tournadre rushed back to s,,is hotel and demanded his bill, de- claring that he would never stop in rouse where anarchists were harbored. The hotelkeeper was bewildered.

WILL OFF p. ID. ARMOU UR.
How an Estate of $15,0OO,OOO Is Dis
posed OF.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-The will of the late
millionaire pork packer and grain deal
er, p. D. Armour, disposes of an es-
tate valued at S15000,000, according to
statements made in an application for
letters testamentary filed in the pro-
bate court here to-day by Malvina D.
Armour, widow of deceased, and j. Og-
den Armour, his son. Mrs. Armour and
j. Ogden Armour are made executrix
and executor and are named as lega
tees, each in charge of one-half of the
estate.
Of the testator's wealth $14,900,000 is
in personal property and 100000 in
realty. P. D. Armour and Lester Ar
mour, grandchildren of the testator by
his son, p D. Armour, upon attaining
the age of twenty-five shall each re-
ceive 81 100000, a half of this from Mall
vania D. Armour, their grandmother,
and half from J. Ogden Armour, their
uncle. At thirty years each is to re-
ceive a similar amount from grand
mother and uncle. AS reason for not
leaving his grandchildren more the
writer of the will explains that their
father during his life had already re-
ceived nearly all of his share of the es-
tate. To this the children and their
mother are heirs.
Executrix and executor are given full
power to manage the estate without
bond. The instrument is dated Pasa-
dena, Cal, January 80, 1900. Armour
Institute, which Mr.. Armour founded,
is not mentioned in the will, but 1t is
regarded as certain that provision for
it was made before its patron died.
