WHY HERR STRAUSS STRUCK.
Noted Composer, on Tour Through
 Russia, in Demand.

Russia, in Demand. Youpth's Companion.
 When Johann Strauss took his orches- tra to Russia he had some unusual ex- periences not generally vouchsafed to those who live outside an autocratiC government.
 One day he received the Czarina's com mands to play before her at her summer resort, and was told, on arriving there, that he would have to rehearse his pro- gram three times before the perform ance. He begged to know the reason for that. but uo explanation was given him These were her Majesty's orders, and he could only comply Still, his aston ishment grew when he saw. during the three rehearsals, an empty court car back and forth in front of his orches tra.
 Throughout the final performance tho mysterious act was explained. The Elm. press, having sharp attack of gout, wa: obliged to recline in the carriage, hel took place. and the object of rehearsal had been to accustom the horses to a full string band. lest they should take fright and bolt with their mistress.
 At the end of the performance an ex- alted dignatary of the court bade Strauss follow him to his own apartments. where he conducted him to splendid grand piano. saving
 Now be good enough to play me all the newts Vienna music
 Although he was greatly fatigued by his three rehearsals and state performance Strauss thought 1t expedient to comply but after he had played continuously for over an hour he stopped, saving: "I presume that will be sufflcient|'
 I am not at all tired' coolly rejoined his EXcellency.
 But I ann said Strauss. and rose from the instrument.

BRANDON ISSUES ORDER
GENERAL CoURTMARTIAL WILL CONVENE AT CAPITOL.
Officers of High Rank Will Sit in Judgment Upon the Controversy Between Colonels Hig-
 don and Kyle.

As forecasted by The Advertiser, the Adjutant General of the Alabama Na- tional Guard yesterday by command of the Governor issued an order calling general courtmartial to be composed Of officers of high rank. The courtmartial will convene at 12 o'clock Tuesday, De- cember 10. and it's sessions will be held at the Capitol.
 While nothing official has been given out on the subject, 1t is definitely known that the Board of Courtmartial will deal entirely with the controversy between Colonel E. l.. Higdon and Lieutenant Col onel Osceola Kyle of the Third Infantry. Colonel Higdon has prepared charges against Colonel Kyle for neglect of duty and disobedience of orders. It Is said that the trial of Colonel Kyle by the Board of Courtmartial will develop into one of the most sensationtal military in- cidents in the history of the State.
 The text of the order issued by the Ad- jutant General yesterday is as follows:
 State of Alabama.
 Adjutant Generals Office.
 Montgomery, Nov. IS, 1901. Special Orders No. 56.
 A general courtmartial is hereby ap- pointed to meet at the Capitol in the city of Montgomery, Ala, at 12 m. Tuesday, December 10, 1901, or as soon thereafter as practicable. for the trial of such per- sons as may be properly brought before 1t.
 Detail of the court, Brigadier General Louis V. Clark; Colonel R. B. Dumont, 1st Infantry; Coloney E. H. Graves, End Infantry; Lieutenant Colonel c. J. Hub bard. 1st Infantry; Lieutenant Colonel H, B. May Second Infantry; Colonel F. G. Caffey. Judge-Advocate General. Judge Advocate.
 The court Is ordered to sit without re- complying with this order are necessary for the public service.
 By order of the Governor, W. w. Brandon. Adjutant General.
 At the Executive office it was said that no arrangement has been made for room in which the courtmartial will holC | it's sessions. It Is probable the military | officers will sit in the hall of the House of Representatives. The trial of Colone Kyle will no doubt attract numerous off cers to Montgomery as witnesses and as friends of the principals. l The case will cause the greatest possi- ble interest. The Board of Courtmartial | will prescribe it's own rules and regula- tions It has the right to debar the public from its sessions or to hold an open court.
 While a stenographer will be employed to transcribe the proceedings of the court Lieutenant Colonel H. B. May of Mont gomery by virtue of being the junior of | icer of the court, will act as recorder.
 There Is said to be a probability that the courtmartial will be in session several weeks.

RYAN CAN'T HELP IT
CITY SEXTON TALKS OF GENIE
 TERY DESIGNATION. z
He Says Well Known Persons Take
 Flowers in Violation of Law Mayor Will Make an Investigation.

Complaint made by J. c. Chambliss of the dissertation of graves In LAKEWOOD Cemetery has stirred up the city admin istration and has brought out sIate s which he declares that idle negro pays are not alone at fault. He says that well known persons are given to transferring flowers and other decorative arucies rom the cemetery lots of others to their own He declares that he has time and again threatened these persons with arrest put the practice continues and he Is helpless to put stop to it:
 discuss the complaints concerning the lack of care taken at Oakwood Ceme tery until he further investigated the matter. from City Sexton Ryan from which this extract is taken:
 Numbers of hickory nuts cover the ground and hang temptingly from the of impossibility to prevent the foraging of the hordes of small boys"
 Patrick Ryan, City Sexton. says that the statement made by J. G. Champnss in The Advertiser Sunday morning ooes injustice. The police officer Is detailed TOT duty at Oakwood Cemetery and Ryan says he stay there from ' a. m. unti dark each day. The City Sexton claims that he is also on duty at the cemetery at all times.
 "Oakwood Cemetery covers 100 acres of ground said Ryan, in statement yes terday, and it Is impossible for tw. men to keep watch over all parts Of 1t al one time"
 Then Ryan declared that great dea of the stealing at Oakwood Cemetery Is done by white people who have loved ones buried there. He said he could call tho names of some well known white women who had taken flowers from lots and placed them on their own lots. He saic that whenever Office" Taylor or himself caught women taking flowers they re. proved them and threatened to arrest them.
 q can tell you the case of a well known lady who goes to the sem csmetery freauem,. nsv. CT to bring flowers and it is also well known that she grows no flowers on her lot. Yet when she leaves the cemetery the graves on her lot are covered with beautiful flowers. The natural inference is that the flowers are taken from the lot of some other person."
 Ryan said that some of the stealing IS done by small boys and girls, black and white. He said he had known white girl Il years old to take vases, bowls and other things from the graves and sel them. It is almost impossible, he said, tt keep loiterers out of the cemetery fol besides the general entrances. there are two openings where the railroad enters and leaves the cemetery. He said that frequently when a negro is seen In the there. he replies that he is going to his mothers grave and the City Sexton can do nothing but let him proceed.
 Ryan complains that the officials ar' handicapped. He said he had woman arrested for stealing vases, but the peo declined to appear in court and testify and the cases had to be dismissed
