FINLAND,

All the clergymen of Finland have been
Instructed to read from their pulpits the
new consumption ukaSe. which was issued
contrary to the laws of the land Many
are the ways in which this order is
eVaded. In some cases the pastors have
asked their congregations what to do and
by unanimous vote the reading Of the
ukase has been dispensed with. FIRE.
Quently the congregation has created
such disturbance that the reading could
not be understood. In one church the
congregation sang "A Mighty Fortress
is Our Lord during the reading. When
the whole congregation interferes with
the reading spontaneously, General Bob
rikof and his minions are at sea- But
when certain individual takes the lead
he will be made to suffer for his inter-
ference.
When Bobrikoff was appointed govern
or general Of Finland there were about
200 periodical publications in the country,
and 80 of them were regular newspapers.
OF the latter, he has forever suppressed
q, or almost one-fourth of the whole
number, and AZ others have been sus-
pended for shorter or longer periods.
Thus 1t will be seen that only about one
third of the newspapers have been left
wholly undisturbed. The encroachments
of Bobrikoff in this field have thrown
number Of journalists and about $50
typesetters out of work. The families of
some of the latter are already suffer-
ing. and they have received aid amount
ing to about $500 from typesetters in
Sweden.
A telegram from st. Petersburg, via
Berlin, stated that Governor General
Bobrikoff had been authorized to make
administrative expulsions" to Siberia
and other parts of Russia. A reliable
source at Helsingfors makes light of this
statement, and the Finlanders look upon
it as a scare-crow.
A national petition in regard to the
question of compulsory military service
has been signed by: half million citizens
of both sexes. The document is in the
hands of the senate committee on
finances.
Carlstedt, the new chief of police of
Helsingfors, is Russifying the police force
of that city as fast as he can.
Jean Boldt. a noisy "reformer," was
distributing anti-mi!itarism circulars on
the main thoroughfare of Helsingfors in
the middle of the day. Two young STU
dents sat down on a bench to read a copy
of the circular. Suddenly a Russian de-
tective, who could not speak Finnish,
bounced upon them and whistled for pa
trolmen to assist him. and the students
were Jailed as if they had committed
some dastardy deed of violence.

A LITTLE GIRL HERO.
Nescues Two Babes from Burning
Grass and Then Falls Exhausted
Amidst the Flames

Milwaukee, Oct. ga journal spe-
cial from Appleton, Wis, says the
eight-year-old daughter of Reyaold
Ludeman, living near Clayton, was
burned to death after reScuing two
little children, aged two and four years,
respectively, from section of burning
grass in field near the homestead. Mr..
Ludeman had set fire to the grass and
cautioned the children to remain away
from the field. The little children dis.
obeyed and were in danger of being
burned to death when rescued by the
oldest child, who sank to the ground
from exhaustion after the heroic act,
and was burned to a crisp.

CoA %olncer Heelng up towards the
Bagumbayan, the direction in which
the pistol lay, he sent Mr.. Wharton
Lieut.. Wharton-with a patrol in
pursuit. :
The inscription on the. pistol re-
vealed it's ownership and caused GER
tain suspicious that warranted his
action. he believed, in ordering the
instant arrest of the officer if found.
MAJ. MacNell went on to say he

ance Of Lieut.. Stuyvesant, and did

man and told his story without pas
sion or prejudice, despite the fact
that he declared the murdered man
to be one of the very best Young
fellows in the battalion and that he
was naturally shocked and angered
at his death.
Then the name of Private Reilly
was called, and keen.featured lit
tie lrishman stepped forward. He
was one of the patrol. Corporal
Stamford, first relief, was in charge
OF it. They had been hunting as far
over as the 'knows-a-lady," and on
coming back No. told them of
some natives at the second house.
Corporal Stamford posted him
(Reilly) in the first yard near the
street to head off any that tried to
run out that way, in case they stirred
up mares nest, and took the other
"fellers" and went round by the
front. Nothing came of it, but while
they were beating up the yards and
Enclosures Reilly heard Benton's chal-
lenge and saw a tall officer come up
to be recognized. They had some
words-the officer and the sentry
he couldn't tell what, but the officev
spoke excited like. and all of sud-
den jumped away and started as
though to run, and No. 6 ''hollered"
after him, though Reilly didn't clear
ly understand what was said. AT
all events he made him come back,
and THERE Reilly seemed greatly
embarrassed and glanced about the
room from face to face in search of
help or sympathy-''it seemed to kind
of rile the officer. He acted like he
wasn't going to come back first off.
and then the corporal came along
with the patrol and the officer had
to wait while Stamford was recog-
nized. and the boys was sayin' Billy
had right to stand the corporal off
until the lieutenant said advance
him. And we was laughin' about it
and sayin' Billy wasn't the boy to
make any mistake about his orders,
when we heard the lieutenant come
a-runnin' swift down t'other side the
street and then saw him scootin' it

his evidence, the little Irish lad
turned till his eyes met those of
Stuyvesant, sitting pale, calm and
collected by the generals side, and
while the eyes of all men followed
those of Reilly they saw that, so far
from showing resentment or dismay,
the young gentleman bowed gravely,
reassuringly, as though he would
have the witness know his testimony
was exactly what it should be and that
no blame or reproach attached to him
for the telling of what he had seen.
Then DR.. Frank was called, and he
gave his brief testimony calmly and
clearly. He recognized it as one he
had seen and examined the previous
afternoon at Col. Brent's quarters on
the San Luis. It was lying on little
table in the front veranda. He had
closely examined it-could not be
mistaken about it, and when he left
it was still lying on that table. Who
were present when he left? "Other
than the immediate family, only
Lieut.. Stuyvesant." Had he again Wis
tied the colonePs that evening? He
had. He returned an hour or so later
to dine. The ladies had then left
their seats in the veranda, and he
noticed that the pistol was no longer
on the table; presumed Miss Ray had
taken it with her to her room and
thought no more about it. AS indi-
Gated by the inscription, the pistol
was her property.
Then Lieut.. Ray was called, but
there was no response. In low tone
the assistant provost marshal ex-
planned that the orderly sent to Pace
with message for Lieut.. Ray returned
with the reply that Mr.. Ray had two
days leave and was somewhere up
town. He as yet had not been found.
A young officer of artillery volun-
teered the information that late the
previous evening, somewhere about
ten, Mr.. Ray had called at the Guar
tel de Meysic, far over on the north
side. He was most anxious to find a
soldier named Connolly, who, he said,
was at the Preside at the time the
lieutenant's quarters were entered
and robbed, and Lieut.. Abercrombie
had taken Mr.. Ray off i'll search of
the soldier. "

Urged to Contribute.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 24.-Com-
mander in Chief Ell Torrance has is
sued a circular letter asking contri-
buttons for the purpose of erecting at
Canton, O., a memorial to Comrade
William Mckinley. The memorial is
to be in the highest sense the sincere
expression of the love of the people
for President Mckinley and of their
admiration for the qualities expressed
so eminently in his life and deeds.
Such memorial, it is urged, will ap-
