GAY DANCER OF VIENNA
MISTRESS OF THE CAR
Heart Of the Rulcr Of the Mighty Russian Empire Not
IN the Keeping Of the Czarina- Priceless Jewels Worn
by the Woman of His Choice.

The last two ballots at the Imperial
Opera of Vienna attracted large audi
ences, anxious to see the performances
OF Miss Matilda Kschesinska and
Messrs. Obuchow, Legat and Bekesy,
all dancers from the Imperial Russian
Marie theater, in ST. Petersburg.
Miss Kschesinska, the prima bsller.
ina, was the chief attraction, but she
will excite more interest when what
the World correspondent has learned
about her is made known to the pub
lie.
She has been loved by the Car for
more than ten years. The close friend
ship between the Russian Emperor
and the Polish dancer dates back to
two years before the Cars marriage.
The Czarina, then Princess Alix Of
Hesse, knew Of the Cars infatuation
and of the serious character their re-
lations had taken after the birth of a
son. She yielded with bitter forebod-
ings to the commands of relatives and
may have been sustained by the hope
that the Gear would become so at
tached TO her that he would give up
the dancer. But she had to learn the
bitter truth that Mathilda Kschesinska
retained her place in the Cars affec-
lions and in time became the mother
of three more children, all sons, while
Il was the Czarina's fate to become the
mother of girls only.
Still, by degrees the Czarina, with
her pure heart and lofty mind, gained
a great ascendancy over her husband,
and he has now consented to break OF
all relations with the Polish ballerina,

Dear PierTepont: When I saw you
start off yesterday was just little
uneasy; for you looked SO blamed inn
portant and chesty that / am inclined
to think you will tell the first custom
er who says he doesn't like our sar-
sage that he knows what he can do
about it. Repartee makes reading
lively, but business duh. And what
the house particularly needs is more
orders.
Sausage is the one subject of all
others that a fellow in the packing
business ought to treat solemnly.
Half the people in the world take a
joke seriously from the start, and the
other half II you repeat it often
enough. Only last week the head of
our sausage department started to
put out a tin-tag brand of frankfurts,
but made him take 1t on the mar
ket quicker than lightning, because
knew that the first fool who saw the
tin-tag would ask If that was the IL
cense. And, though people would
grin little at first, they'd begin to
look serious after a while; and when

the bark, and ask for that real coun-

Not Deserving Of sympathy.

When we hear CT some traveller
who has been impoverished by sharp
ers on an ocean steamer we feel rea-
sonably sure that he broke into their
game expecting to rob them. Either
that or he is an idiot pure and sim
pie. The case Is obviously a case
of the bitter bit We waste no emo
ton upon these alleged victims. A
fool and his money are soon parted
why need VIC trouble ourselves as to
the details? It is a perfectly safe
assumption that in Hino cases out Of
ten the fellow who loses his money
hoped and expected 10 get the better
of the others. Ie was not looking
for congenial companionship. and
when the would-be spoliator is des-
poiled he appeals to no sense Of pity
or indignation in the hearts OF honest
and enlightened men. Nobody cares
whether he gets heecel or not. No
body ought to care.

unfair increase, but all these petitions
were filed and never heard of again.
Seeing that the new tax lists will be
issued after March 10 on the basis Of
the new valuation, the city began to
get nervous about the matter. Careful
inquiry concerning the fate of the
many petitions filed brought forth a
curt answer from the Vail that none OF
them would ever be heard of and that
all efforts to push them would be fruit
less. At the same time a way of re-
lief was pointed out to all who wished
to avail themselves of it. Whoever
wished his property valuation to go
back to the old figure could have it
so at once by paying to the Vail and
his associates three times the amount
of the increase demanded. The time
being short and all hope Of righteous
redress being denied, the people have
made haste to avail themselves OF
this door of escape and the unholy
business is at this moment in full
blast We know one man, acting for
himself and few of his family, who
has paid over 1900 Turkish pounds
into the Wallis hands, or rather into
the hands of his accredited agent. 1t
is estimated that the Vail will pocket
in this transaction something like 50,-
600 Turkish pounds, or, as some esti-
mate 1t, as much as 100000 pounds.
OF course it is well known that he
must share this unrighteous gain with
his hackers at the palace, or he could
never venture to DO such barefaced
blackmailing.-Lon Times.

A correspondent writes from Beirut:
Those who watch events in Turkey
are familiar with the more brutal
methods of oppression and extortion,
but cannot always understand the
more polite methods of the corrupt
officials in the larger cities. The peo-
pie of Beirut, Syria, have just been
treated to an extortion of blackmail
that is worthy of being recorded.
Some two years ago the Governor,
Rashid Pasha, a man whose father
and grandfather before him were all
favorites of the Palace clique in Con-
stantinople and who has held his pres
ent post so long through the influence
of that personifcation of misrule, sue
ceeded in getting an imperial COM
mission to come down and make new
valuation of all the property in the
city. This commission set about and
did its business in the approved Turk
ish way. Those who approached the
members in the proper way and with
enough gold in their hands succeeded
in keeping the taxable value of their
possessions at the OLD figures, while
those who did not do so found the
values of their houses greatly in
creased. According to Turkish law,
when a man feels that he is being
rated too high, or higher than his
nearest neighbors, he can present a
petition asking for a new survey of the
property in question and theoretically
obtain Justice. AS a matter of fact
hundreds did file their protests against
the unrighteous determinations and
