DRESDEN POLICE.
In That City the Police Are Permitted
to Impose Small Fines.


One advantage accrues to the respect ble
member of the community from the minute
ness with which the Dresden police look
into the affairs of every inhabitant of the
city. If he is a careful man and always
carries papers which may serve to establish
his identity he is practically immune from
the indignity of being arrested and marched
off to the police station unless indeed he
commits some especially heinous crime
Does he drive faster than the law permits
does he cross bridge on the left-hand side
or ride his bicycle through forbidden streets
ne is stopped by the guardian of law and
order and requested to i've his name If
he has his papers with him the policeman
may then and there impose a fine of from
one to three marks. If thea he admits that
he is in the wrong and pays the fine the in
cident is closed. If, however, he wishes to
appeal from the policeman's decision he
may do 50. Even in that case he is not ar
rested, but day or two later he is notified
to appear in court and answer to the charge
against him. But then if he is found guilty
t : lowest fine that can be imposed is three
marks. That this custom of permitting
the policeman personally to impose small
hneS Is little understood by foreigners IS
shown Ly a remark made to me snort
time ago by a gentleman who had lived in
Germany the greater part of his life and in
Dresden for a number of years. In reply
to my inquiry as TO whether there was
ever any question of corruption in the DO
lice department he replied
No: none whatever as far as the higher
oiicers are concerned. The individual men
however, may be bribed occasionally For
instance, If | were to walk on the grass in
the Grosser Garten and a policeman caught
me at it, i would give him a mark or two
and that would end the matter

The Russian Succession.
liladelphia Public Ledger.

From the InllaGtlphla PubIc Ledger.
Although women have ruled in Russia
it is a wellknown fact that the cars
eldest daughter. the Princess Olga, is not
heir apparent to the throne, while her un-
Gle, the Grand Duke Michael, is heir pre-
Sumptive. This state of affairs is due to
a decree of the Emperor Paul issued in
1897, which declared succession henceforth
to be of regular descent by right of prim-
ogeniture, with preference of male over
female heirs Several times rumor has
come from st. Petersburg that the cZar
who has four daughters, about to an
nul the decree of Paul in favor of the eld-
est Another alternative is now said to be
meditated upon which does not call for the
abolition of any of the fundamental laws
of the empire, but simply the imperial ap-
proval of a marriage. In 1893 the present
czar's second brother, the Grand Duke
George, when twenty-five years of age. Sc
cretly married Princess Nakachidze, daue'h-
ter of a Caucasian nobleman
1t is now alleged that the Grand Duke
Georges eldest son. Prince Cyril is the
rightful heir to the Russian throne having
a claim prior to the cars younger brother
the Grand Duke Michael. Duke Constan-
tine of Oldenburg, who was the most init
mate friend of the Grand Duke George. has
cons ituted himself the champion of Prince
Cyril, and is conducting a regular agitation
in his behalf.
The legal objection to the claim made
on behalf of the Grand Duke Georges son
will be that the Grand Duke Georges mar
riage was invalid, because it contract
ed without the consent of the czar.

Wounded Deer Fought a Woman.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
While hunting last Saturday Mrs Tom
linson of Philo, CAL had to fight for her
life with a wounded deer. Her dog was
killed by blow from one of the animals
hoofs, and then it dashed furiously at the
woman. She gripped the big antlers and
held on. and woman and deer wrestle back
and forth in struggle that could end only
in the death of one of them. They battled
fiercely for several minutes and then,
weakened by the loss of blood. the deer
sank to the ground. Mrs. Tomlinson IS a
powerful woman otherwise the contest
would not have lasted so long, nor would 1t
have ended as it did
Mrs Tomlinson is well known as a hunter.
She has to her credit large string of deer
and smaller game. Saturday morning she
started on deer hunt Her dog raised 4
fine four pointer and Mrs. TomlinSOn i'm
mediately dropped him As IL lay on the
ground Mrs. Tomlinson ran up 10 cut the
animal s throat, but at the first prick of
the kni e it sprane to its feet. full of fight
After it was over Mrs. Tomlinson. weak
from the eXertion and torn and bruised
from the horns and hoofs of the deer, made
her way home. Her husband returned TO
the spot and secured the body of the deer.
and Mrs. Tomlinson is going to have the
head mounted memento of her fight
for life.
