KAISER SAID TO Be
GETTING DEMOCRATIC

of the detectives. Just as distasteful
to him are the ostentatious measures
of precaution adopted by the police
in and around Berlin when he is rid
ing or driving through his capital.
AS rule, the police will stop all
traffic for a long distance when they
have an idea the kaiser is about to
pass, with the result that business is
seriously interrupted. On one occa-
sion, when entering the Inter den
Linden, the kaiser observed that traf-
fic had been stopped for the full
length of the street and that car
riages and omnibuses were piled up at
the intersecting streets. He brought
his carriage to halt and ordered that
traffic should be allowed to proceed
as usual. To the police officer in COM
mand he declared: II am quite cap
able of finding my way alone: kindly
keep yourself more in the back
ground" After that a general order
was issued to the Berlin police COM
manding moderation in the measures
adopted to secure the unhindered
passage of the emperor through the
streets of Berlin.

HISTORY Of ST. PATRICK
AND CHURCH IN |R[lAhD.
Tomorrow Conversion of Irish People Will Be
Celebrated in BETTING Manner for Sake
of Old Land.

This is the voice of the Irish peo-
pie"
At the same time the man appeared
to say to Patrick:
"Oh, holy youth, Patrick, we be-
seech thee come unto us and abide
with us and release u.s.
Patrick was moved by these words.
After some time spent in studies he
was ordained priest and received his
episcopal conservation. Then he was
sent to Ireland as a missionary by
Pope Celestine in the year 431.
Patrick at once started on his Jour-
ney and landed at Wicklaw, where
he was opposed in every possible
manner. He began his work with I'M
daunted courage as the following ex-
ample shows:
1t happened on a night when the
idolators solemnized a certain feast
1t was the custom that on this night
no fire should be lighted until one
was first enkindled in the royal pal
ace. On that very night. before all
others, Patrick lighted a fire, per-
forming the services of the Catholic
church at pascal time.
The monarch and his followers were
enraged and inquired who it was that
dared light a fire. A magician that
stood near said:
UNLESS yonder fire be this night
extinguished, he who lighted 1t will.
with his followers, reign over the
land"
The king Immediately proceeded to
the place to avenge the insult 1t is
said that when he came near he began
to grow afraid. One of the magicians
began to utter blasphemies against
st. Patrick and was struck dead.
Then Patrick set out to appear be-
fore the kings of Ireland assembled
at Tara. Before them he confuted
the doctrines of the Druids and con-
verted the whole Irish people. Such
was his zeal that before long Chris
tianity was honored far and wide
through the island.

Bailey Wanted to
Break Loose Again.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-An-
other exhibition Of his "murderous'
temper was given by Senator Joe
Bailey of Texas on the day Of the
senate's expiration. All the session
he had been fighting with Hanna to
get consideration for his Sabine Pass
bill.
He figured he was sure of 1t in the
closing minutes, as he could work
little Of the Tillman-Quay, etc, hold
up game. But he had reckoned with
out his host, for Hanna had arranged
with Senator Mason to talk the Bailey
bill to death.
Mason was going into private life
and could do it with impunity. Bailey
saw in a fash how he had been out
witted and he went as white as a
sheet. There was a muttered oath
and those near him prepared to lay
restraining hands upon him. But Ma
son was on the far side of the cham
Der and he had time to reconsider.

MOSCOW, March 16.-Cronstadt
has an unparalleled sensation in the
criminal prosecution of Policemas-
ter Schafroff of that town and port.
The chief cause of establishment, of
course, is that the police official is
being publicly prosecuted by the ad-
ministration, which usually endeav-
ors to hush up political scandals.
However, the offenses Of Schafroff
have been so aggravated that the au-
thorities dared not to wink at them
any longer, and he is being made a
bitter example of. The indictment
against him covers more than so
pages and reads like a shady romance.
Schafroff's record is as follows: In
1880 when he was sub-inspector at a
salary of S25 a month. and though
he had no private means, he lived at
the rate of $4,000 year. Two years
later he became inspector and his
salary was $40 a month. Then he
increased his style of living to $10,-
900 a year and got in debt about
$4,000 to tradesmen and shopkeep-
ers.
The whole of his income was deriv-
ed from an admirably conceived sys-
tenn of blackmail directed at all sorts
and conditions of people. His mis-
doings became too fragrant, and he
was transferred to a sub-inspector-
ship in ST. Petersburg. His natural
ability and accomplishments as q
rogue and first class blackguard got
him an inspectorship there, and his
blackmail revenues soon enabled him

Tomorrow is St. Patricks Day, the
"day of days" for the Irish race
everywhere. Every Hibernian in Spo-
kane will be at his best and will do
his best to celebrate the occasion in
a BETTING manner for the sake of the
old land and olden days. and to in
spire the hopeful with renewed hope
for the return of Irelands ancient
glory.
The Irish people of Spokane have
bent all their efforts to make the cele-
bration this year more attractive and
impressive than ever before. Every
man and woman will take a personal
pride in making the day a national
festival and in surrounding it with
the patriotic enthusiasm character
istic if the Celtic race.
Fourteen hundred years have rolled
away since St Patrick's name first
became entwined with the history Of
the Catholic church. He was endow-
ed with wonderful gifts, talents and
virtues that are requisite to qualify
men for the accomplishment of a
great design.
The story of his life tells that as
soon as he reached his sixteenth year
he was carried captive into the very
land which he was afterwards to de-
liver into the hands Of Christianity.
He was sold as a slave to a pagan
prince named Milcho and was ap-
pointed by that prince to the care Of
swine.
Here he became acquainted with
the language and manners of the peo-
pie. He had spent six years on the
mountain side, in the woods and in
the caves of the wilderness when he
was released from slavery and re-
stored to his own country. One night
after his release he saw in a vision
ESQ the story runs) a man bearing

to purchase large landed estates in
the country.
Again his iniquitious conduct led
to demands for his retirement, but
again he had pull enough to land the
po}icemastership at Cronstadt. This
was in 1897. Here he surrounded
himself with ring which rivaled in
corruptness the police of New York
under Tammany. He exacted large
revenues from every one Of his sub
ordinates, and the circumference of
blackmail was also enlarged. The
newly instituted liquor laws became
his chief source of graft" He i'm
ported hordes Of demi- mondaines and
progresses from ST. Petersburg, and
half the gilded blackguardism of the
capital disgraced the neighboring
Neva port. The social evil became SO
great that the governor of the prov
ince was appealed to by the better
class, and Schafroff was taken to
task. With masterful cunning and
diplomacy he urged the immoral nee
essities Of a great port and the plea
let him off scott free.
All caution and restraint were then
cast to the winds by Schafroff, who
thought he had guaranteed himself
immunity from the governor, but
mutterings more ominous than before
have led the government to an in
kvestigation, and Schafroffs career
is probably over. Nearly 200 wit
nesses have signified their willingness
to assist the prosecution, while all
the wealth and political power that
Schafroff can command will be rallied

BERLIN, March 16.-The latest
about Emperor William is that he is
becoming more democratic. In spite
of idotic trials Of Polish schoolboys
for plotting against the government
1t is plain that prosecutions for lese

In any event, these are never initiated
by the kaiser. and often proceed with

They often mean that some bureau

The bureaucrat can not prosecute
for abuse of himself. but he lays low
until the editor says something
against the kaiser, when he comes
down on him like a thousand of
bricks. Lately, according to all &C
counts, the kaiser has been discour-
aging these prosecutions from what
ever cause.
William is also restricting the po-
lice precautions which are taken for
his safety. Frequently on his travels
he has eluded the pressing attention

well known in the northwest a few
years ago, when he fought most of
the corners in this city. He went up
against kid" Lavigne at Seattle but
lost because Of being in poor condi-
ton, owing TO illness. He has sig
nified his willingness to make match
with kid" Mccarthy, who recently
fought Kid" Lewis in this city, and
will give him weight. An effort will
be made to have a limited bout be-
tween these two pulled off in one of
the theaters. Jones is well known

siderable money on his battles here
a few years ago. He says he was
never in better condition and his offer
to give Mccarthy weight is consid-
cred by judges of fighters to be but
