victims. The first slide occurred at
1880 O'Clock in the morning and car
ried away the boarding and bunk
houses and the farmhouse of the mine.
The slide came without warming The
three large buildings were carried
down the steep mountain side dis
tance of 1000 feet and ground to splin-
ters, not board being left intact. The
snow and debris piled in the bottom of
the canyon twenty-five feet deep.
Those who escaped the slide at once
began the work Of rescuing their less
fortunate companions. A dozen or
more were taken out alive, some Of
them badly injured, however.

II can assure you dying is much
easier than had thought"
A few hours before his execution
the emperor handed his physician his
wedding ring. saying to him, You
will soon be going back to Vienna;
talk with my parents and relatives
and describe minutely to them the
siege and also the last days of my life.
And to my mother say that l did my
duty as soldier and died like q
Christian"
And as he looked out at the blue
sky. he continued: Il have always
wished that l might die when the
weather was beautiful, and this wish
at any rate has been granted me-
He was to have been shot on the 10th
of June, but for some reason the exc
cution was postponed until the 10Th.
That is hard. said the emperor
upon hearing of the delay, for had
already finished with the world"
Then turning to the weeping Father
Soira, who. during those last bitter
hours, stood constantly by his side,
he added. Il somehow seem to have
changed places with my father con-
fessor, and it appears that 1t is
who must comfort and strengthen
him. so that he does not lose courage
and break down at the last"
With wonderful thoughtfulness,
even at the very last sad hour, the
emperor telegraphed the republican
government begging it to pardon two
of his faithful Mexican generals and
let him be the only sacrifice. But
this petition was refused. And not
withstanding this. Macmillan wrote
magnanimity to Juarez.
Maximilian's nature was a truly
great one, and the story of the suf-
ferings OF the noble man whose re-
mains now lie buried in the princely
vault on the New Market Platz" in
Vienna, is one that still shines vivid
ly through the years.
Standing but a few steps from the
magnificent tomb of the beloved
Emperor Joseph II. is simple sarco-
phagus, on which sparkles foreign
crown. and on whose side is the fol-
lowing short inscription, telling the
tale of tragic life:
Ferdinand Maximilian, Archduke
Of Austria, was born at the palace of
Tchoubrun, July 6. 1882. In the year
1862 he was chosen emperor of Mexi-
CO, and on June 10. 1867 by cruel

Baked at Triplets.

Prof. w. J. McGee of the Bureau OF
Ethnology tells good story of his last
trip to the land of the Seris, the most
dangerous of all Mexican tribes. He
was learning the words denoting rela-
tionship, such as mother, father, then
went on to child and baby. He secured
the correct word for baby in the Seri
tongue, and also for twins. But when
he asked for the one meaning triplets
sudden change came over the exten-
sive group surrounding him.
Every man, woman and child SOL
emnly arose and turning their backs in
his face, walked away. He then learned
that the appearance of triplets in a
family was, among these Indians, a
crime punishable with death to the
father, mother and many OF the family
and that the mere mention of such a
heinous offense could not be tolerated
in polite society.

Russian War Omce Makes an End of =
Famous Regiment.

Famous Regiment
The disbandment by the Russian
war Office of the only Finnish regi-
ment of dragons, already reported by
cable, is likely to have sequel. 1t
will be remembered, perhaps. that the
commander of the regiment, Col
Schaumann. when directed by Gen.
Bobrikoff, the governor of Finland, to
administer the Russian oath to the
soldiers, refused to do so, on the
ground that it had not been sanctioned
by the Finnish uiet, as was required
by the constitution of the country
Gen. Bobrikoff was SO enraged by this
reply that he forgot his good manners,
and expressed himself in such violent
terms that Col. Schaumann then and
there resigned from the service. Gen.
Bobrikoff then asked for his dismissal
and transfer to a cavalry regiment of
the reserve. Upon this all the other
officers resigned in a body, and this
action was regarded in st. Petersburg
as an act of deliberate mutiny, as 1t
undoubtedly was, whatever the provo
cation. The disbandment of the regi-
ment itself followed; but the end is
not yet, for it is said that all the Of
Tending officers will have to answer
before military tribunal. Whatever
the result may be. It is safe to predict
that 1t will not allay the growing ex-

An inspection of the birthday record
of the new congress affords some inter
esting data in this connection. In the
brief autobiographies published in the
Congressional Directory. which are fur
nished by the legislators themselves,
fifty-fiye representatives and senators
refrain from mentioning the month in
which they We're born. This is only a
small proportion of the whole, how
ever. and. taking the statements of the
others, it appears that the greatest
number of members of the lower house
first saw daylight in March-thirty-
seven in all, including the speaker. The
smallest number seventeen, made their
debut in April.
1t does not seem to be the case, how
ever, that winter enjoyed any marked
superiority in the way of opportunities
for giving birth to the members of the
present congress. inasmuch as, out OF
the whole number reporting on the
subject. 1873 came into the world be-
tween Oct. l and March 81, and 19l be-
tween April l and Sept. 3O-a differ
