CHAPTER ".

The strains OF waltz were floating
through the Duchess Maya's salon and
her brother, General Ivan Bazaroff,
danced with one OF the most distin-
guished women in the room. But his
countenance was dull; he moved me-
chanically. There was no light in his
small, deep-set eyes under the heavv
Muscovite brow. Suddenly a very
graceful couple passed him-a young
Livonian officer In q white uniform and
fair woman in hame-coloured, gown.
And as they glided by, General kazar-
on ceased to keep step with the music.

was the usual stir and hustle which pro-
claimed that her ladyship was at
home to her friends.
where is General Bazaroff?" inquir-
ed one dame of another. as she glanced
round the assembled groups. Il thought
he was always here?"
perhaps she is tired Of his devotion
and has given him hint to stay away

Maya. gives a ball tonight. and he is
there on duty"
who then, takes his place as CHIEF
priest at the shrine OF beauty" the
first speaker demanded with malicious
little smile.
THAT is as 1t may be. But whoever
he is he is coming tonight assuredly
for see how animated she is. All. Who
is the man who presents himself at the
moment?"
Possibly the new devotee. Observe.
she has frozen all over. Her manner
to him is icy, doubtless because she ex-
pected him and he has come"
1t was Francis Osborne, weary still
from the effects of his long journey to
St. Petersburg, whose arrival had at
tracted the Russian DANES attention.
He had reached the Cars capitol only
that morning, and, acting on his agents
advice. had Immediately written to ask
Lady Emilia's permission to present
himself in the evening.
You here, Mr.. Osborne? What
brings you to this unbearable city," she
asked, naively, as she offered him her
hand.
mo city can be unbearable which Is
honoured by your presence" he answer
ed, making an effort to offer her the
homage she was used to.
THAT is very well" she said to her
self. from a man who was here before
and never came near me. No matter,
he is here now, and has courted his
punishment"
/
she said aloud. You will find plenty
of people here whom you know, dare
say. Later on you must give me news
of your sister, and your charming
cousin, Miss Rayne." and, with a little
wave of the hand, she dismissed him to
what she knew would be penance-an
aimiess dwadle through rooms which
contained no friends, possibly not even
an acquaintance.
Osborne drifted away into the interior
of the salon with no very enviaDle 1eei-
ings. Il thought So he said to him
self. with her many distractions, sne
inst remembers my name; that is all.
How can l expect among all these CAD
flies to get half an hours serious con-
versation with her? How. even II
got II. hope to move her heart or rouse
her sympathy? And yet must attempt

alone can get me the information must
have"
His reflections were cut short by tap
on the shoulder, and turning he found
himself face to face with plethora,
red-faced man of the English type,
which is SO mercilessly caricatured by
foreigners and which lends itself SO
easily to the cartoonists.
'.Mr. Osborne, believer" he said, al
fably. my name is Porcher, Samuel
Porcher. I haven't had the pleasure
of making your acquaintance formally
but as semi-public characters we may
say, l suppose, that we know eacn

Francis Osborne looked straight into

| something that would leave an opening
for this. They fought hard and long,
| but at each tack were met with defeat.
They went straight at the question and
sought to bring in the whole story,
boldly and plainly, but always lost at
the end. Barker was withdrawn from
the stand without having added any
, thing to the known facts of the case
and practically without testifying to
anything material, He was withdrawn
temporarily, but unless some basis is
laid later for his testimony he may not
be replaced. .
Following quick and fast upon this
defeat came another when DR.. Evans,
of the Morris Plains asylum, was prac-
tically debarred from testifying and
had to be withdrawn. DR.. Evans was
to testify to what might be the case
under given circumstances, but the cir
cumstances not having been establish
ed he had to step aside to be called lat
er if a foundation Is laid for his testi-
mony. The court rose as soon as DR..
Evans was withdrawn.
The story of Mrs. Barker may not be
told either just now, unless counsel
finds some way which has not yet sug-
gested itself to introduce it. The ruling
of the court in every instance was pro-
nounced quickly and Jersey lawyers
were generally of the opinion that the
exceptions Mr.. Van Wrinkle filed with
a lavish hand were not such as would
upset the result If there was a convic-
ton. 1t was Jersey justice they said
and the court was simply following the
rules and laws.
The prosecution met defeat several
times, notably when the prosecution
tried to introduce the eye taken from
Mr. Keller's head 1t was presented in
a bottle Of alcohol, but was barred out
as grewsome and having no bearin.
upon the case, DR.. Strasser, one of the
doctors who attended Mr.. Keller, told
of the wounds and gave expert testi-
mony that Mr.. Keller was shot from
behind Mr. Van Wrinkle tried to get
the doctor to admit that possibly KEEL
Ter and Barker met face to face, but
the doctor stuck to his statement that
the shot which was the most serious
was fired from behind The counsel for
the defense illustrated on the floor how
Keller might have turned partly
around, but the doctor came back with
the remark that the position the coun-
sci took in illustrating showed the shot
to be fred from the rear. Mr.. Wall i'm

Mr.. Keller was the last witness for
the state. He showed the jury his

eyes, He insisted in a mild way under
cross examination that the shot which |
entered his head was fired from be-
hind He said he had spoken to one,
and, inferentially, that there had been |

BAN ON sEoR EFT SOCIETIES.
endorsed by Swedish Lutheran Synod
After Heated Discussion.

jamestown, N. Y, June 18.-The mos
interesting question yet taken up by thu
! Augustana synod of the Swedish Luth
eran church was reached to-day. L
| was in reference to the relation of the
| church toward secret societies. The
constitution of the church provides that
no one shall become a member OF the
| church who belongs to Masonic OF
other secret or ateistic society" This
has been part of the churchs creed a
great many years. At the session OF
the synod year ago a committee was
appointed to recommend any changes
! which might be deemed advisable in
the church constitution. This morning
Rev. DR.. M. G. Renseen, of Chicago, of
this committee, reported, This recon-
mended that all reference to secret So
| cieties be stricken from the creed. He
followed his report with a strong adj
dress.
Rev. Mr.. Forsburg, of North Gros-
venordale, Conn, said secret societies
were idolatrous. The discussion grew
warmer and more bitter as 1t progress
ed. Rev. C. Il. Johanson, of Boston,
/ advised that little be said on the sub
A'oSANsANo
should not be received as church mem
bers. A half dozen ministers tried to
speak at the same time. Rev. G. A..
Brandelle began an earnest speech in
behalf of the secret societies and as he
warmed up he continued; You say Sc
cret societies have no religion" (Cries
of Yes! Yes!")
Rev. Mr.. Lndsom handed the speaker
copy of the Freemasons' monitor and
the speaker began to read. That's a
lie!" cried Rev. c. e. Forsburg. There
was great confusion. II move that the
ballot be now taken" said Rev. DR..
SWenssen, who had gained attention
from the chair while the house was in
the greatest turmoil Objections were
made by many, but the chair sustained
the motion and ordered the taking Of
ballot upon the proposition. During
the excitement of taking the ballot the
Rev. S. G. Swenssen said that there
might be those who would cast more
than one ballot. The insinuation was
vigorously resented and the chair stat
ed that it was the blacklist libel that
had ever been cast on the members of
the synod.
The vote was taken however, amid
great confusion and the chair could
with difficulty retain any kind of order.
The result of the ballot was that the
proposed amendment was defeated by
a vote of 81 to II, thus leaving the OBJ
jectionable clause in the church creed
and excluding from membership Of any
church within the denomination men,
bers of any secret society
This was the last week of the synod,
which closed in the usual form directly
after the vote was taken to meet June
IL, 1902, AT some place to be determined
by the president of the synod.

The BOARD OF COUNCIIMEN
Continued from First Page.)

After the list had been read Council
man Brophy of the Sixth ward, arose
and stated that he would decline to
serve on the commit tee to which he had
been appointed, the committee on num-
bering streets He said that he was
a working man and did not have time
for committee work. President Harkin
will later appoint some member to take
Mr. Brophy's place ON that committee.
The board concurred with the alder
men in adopting a resolution to pro-
vide for the appointment OF a commit
tee to arrange for the citys part in the
Yale bi-centennial celebration After
the resolution mad been adopted, Coun-
Gilman Bracken, of the Twelfth ward,
suggested that those councilmen who
are Yale graduates be appointed on the
committee. A little later President
Harkln announced the committee. his
appointments being Councilman
Browning, Barnes, Elliott and Wohl-
maker, the first three being graduates
of the university.
The resolution for the appointment of
trustees Of the Maret fund, which was
adopted by the aldermen, came up for
action. Unanimous consent was neces-
sary for immediate consideration Of the
resolution without referring 1t to q
committee and when vote on giving
unanimous consent was taken Council
men Elliott and Booth refused such
consent. The resolution was then re-
ferred to a special committee, or which

The councilmen concurred with the
aldermen in adopting the resolution for
the appointment of committee to take
steps towards erecting a hospital for
the care of contagious diseases on the
site at Springside farm decided upon
by the common council not long ago.
Unanimous consent was also given
for immediate consideration of the

PAPERS OF RUS
STA

During the few years when "terroris-
the revolutionary party was mining
railroad tracks over which the czar was
expected to pass, these champions of
liberty scarcely managed to publish
two underground papers. Now the
number of revolutionary organs, more
or less regularly brought out under
the very nose of the gendarmes," is
twelve. 1t is admitted, however, that
those who take part in the printing or
circulating of these papers do not run
the risks which the same sort of work
involved in former days. Time was
when persons arrested in q secret print
ing office were sentenced to long terms
of hard labor in the Siberian mines.
This, as a rule, actually meant death.
within a. year or two, from consump-
ton, scurvy or insanity, in a damp,
isolated dungeon in the fortress of
Peter and Paul, or of Schlusselburg.
The men and women, therefore, who
volunteered to set type in the reyolu-
tionary printing establishments of fif-
teen or twenty years ago took their
lives in their hands. Having nothing
to lose, they We're armed, and when
raided by the gendarmes, they defend
ed themselves desperately. Thus, when
the police had discovered the house
where the organ of the terrorists was
printed, shortly after the assassination

sides lasted about an hour and half
The case is different with the Nihilists
who are connected with the under
ground Russian press of to-day. The
average punishment for an offense of
this kind is now about eight years of
free exile" in Siberia; and as there is
scarcely a village in Asiatic Russia
that has not from twenty to thirty "po-
liticals" among it's inhabitants, life in
Punishment is not half so hard to bear
as it used to be. AS "a consequence, the
raiding of ? secret newspaper office is
never accompanied by bloodshed now;
and no sooner does one office fall into
the hands of the enemy than another
springs up in the same city.
Besides the papers which are printed
by the Nihilists at home they import
revolutionary pamphlets from Switzer-
land and England. These are smuz- |
zled across the frontier by well-or-
ganized group of contrabandits, all

of a party which signalized the return
of Earl Morehouse, son of Orlo with
his bride to the parental home in North
vile four miles from here, by serenad-
ing them with drums, horns and guns.
Orlo Morehouse ordered them away and
as they departed he fired his gun into
the darkness. Lewis Northrop received
a charge of shot in one thigh and leg.
Mr.. Morehousc claimed that some of the
party fired a charge of shot at his
house, but the visitors said they used
blank cartridges only.
