IRON the LONDON EAprcSS.
Moscow, April 10.-In the Odessa Dis
trict Court an extraordinary example
of the peasants superstitions came re-
Gently before the public. A coachman
named Andrea Oleynik had been robbed
of 16s. and suspicion fell upon an old
Bulgarian Peter Dutcho, who had been
staying in the house over night.
Dutcho swore that he was not guilty
but Oleynik said, IF you are innocent
then sit on the heated stove" Dutcho
to prove his innocence. willingly sat on
the red-hot stove, with the natural re-
suit that he received terrible burns.
Still he protested he had not stolen
1t, and Oleynik consulted a prophecies,
who also said that Dutcho was nnc-
cent.
His accuser then knelt humbly before
the burned martyr. begged forgiveness
with tears, and offered Is. as COM
pensation. Dutcho generously forgave,
and was taken to a hospital, where af-
ter some time he was released-a Grip
pie for the rest of his life.
Oleynik. however. was impeached by
the authorities, for ''mishandling. but
the case was remanded to await medi-
cal opinion as TO Dutcho's sanity.

Rhinoscleroma," or, in other
words, "Rhinoceros nose" an exceed
ingly rare disease, can be contracted
the appellate division of the Supreme
Court says, as this result of collision
with a cable car.
Isidor Scher, possessor of the Kim
oceros nose" sued the company in 1898
for $50 900 damages. He says that di-
rectly after the accident at Prince
street and Broadway his nose began to
swell, and soon was four times it's nor
NAL size. 1t also assumed various
hues. At times its color would be red,
then it would turn to a delicate blue
and at other times it's color would be
natural. Scher claimed that the size
OF his proboscis and it's odd tints
brought upon him the ridicule of every
one he met.
The case was tried before Justice
Leonard A. Giegerich and a jury in
February, 1898, and verdict was rem
dered in favor of the railroad company,
allowing it $500 costs.
The case was argued last month be-
fore the appellate division by Lawyer
Moses Feltenstein, of No. 800 Broad
way That court says the testimony
clearly shows that the rare disease
could be the result of the car striking
man in the face. MASKING his nose
and thereby causing the mucous MEM
brane to become infamed.

BRIBERY NOT INCLUDED.

st. Louis Briber Might BE Run Out
of Mexico as a PerniciOus For
eigner.
City of Mexico, April 3O.-Regarding
the arrest in Guadalajara of Charles
Kratz, the alleged st. Louis briber.
Fenton M. McCreary, charge d'affaires
of the American embassy, says that he
has no advices that can be made pub
lie. The crime of bribery is not
enumerated in the list of offenses for
which people may be extradited from
Mexico to the United States. There
remains, it appears, but one way by
which Mr.. Kratz might be placed in
custody of the American authorities.
Kratz may be expelled from Mexico
as a ''pernicious foreigner" and taken
to the border, where American Off
Gals could be in waiting to place him
under arrest as soon as released.

From the London News.
A correspondent sends to a Sheffield
paper the following notes on curiosities
of the calendar for the present year:
The calendar for this year, 1902, has
not been repeated since the year 1884
a period of sixty-eight years, inasmuch
as Easter Sunday falls on the 3Oth of
March, and rules all other movable
feasts and festivals accordingly. This
will not happen again until the year
1870, another period of seventy-t three
years, SO that persons born on any of
the movable festivals or feasts since
1884 have not had a birthday on such
festial or feast until this year, 1902;
/. e., a person born on March % in any
year since 1884 has not had a birthday
on Good Friday until this year, and it
may also specially interest the clergy
of the Church of England to be re-
minded that few (if any living to-day
have ever before conducted the services
of the Church in the same order as
they are doing this year.
