Vienna. May 21-The revolt in Croa-
tia, IS spreading to every part OF the ii
tuIar kingdom and threatens TO extend
to Dalmatia.
The celebrations at Agram yesterday
Of the anniversary OF the death OF Jelli-
cihich Won Busim. the former ban OF
Croatia. eliminated in 4 fierce conflict
with the police who attacked the crowds
with sabres. wounding many persons
and making $50 arrests including sew
eraI students and women. The city Of
Agram is now completely under mill
tary rule. The principal streets are
closed by cordOns of troops. Four reg
iments. fully equipped for war, have
been ordered TO proceed from Oedenburg
to the Agram district. At Buccari and
Maja thousands of peasants attempted
to destroy the railroad in order to pre-
VEN the arrival of troops. They tore
up the rails at five different points and
when the military arrived the peasants
pelted them with stones, injuring sew
eraI soldiers. The troops ~retaliated by
shooting and bayOnetting many of the
peasants.
The SIays resident in various parts
of Austria and Bohemia are holding in
dignatiOn meetings to protest against
the proceedings in Croatia where over
two thousand persons have already been
imprisoned.
The disturbances IN Croatia are pri-
mariIy due TO the long standing race
hatred between the SlavS and the Mag
vars. The present outbreak has two
main sources. First, the general dis
content of the peasantry arising from
the extreme poverty prevailing every
where and from the fact that in some
parts of the country the peasants are on
the verge of femme. Second. the indig-
nation aroused by the alleged tyranni-
cal rule of Count khun Hedervary, the
present ban of Croatia.
The CrOatians attribute much of their
poverty to the financial methods of the
Hungarian government, which is accus-
ed of drawing from Croatia money in
excess of its legal proportion of the
taxes in spite of the protests of the in
habitants. Consequently, throughout
Croatia there is increasing hatred of
Hungarian rule and language. The re-
cent attempts made to introduce the
Magyar language in Croatia has espe-
cialIy aroused popular Indignation.
As evidence + official tyranny the
Croatians point out that there is alb
Solutely no liberty of the press. Scarce
1y a day has passed for many years
without opposition newspapers being
confiscated and Iatterly they were all
suppressed. The people have not the
right to hold public meetings. not even
at election time, and the government is
accused of absolutely controlling the
elections. Only three per cent. OF the
population is allowed to vote and
many opposition voters and ever oppO-
sitiOn candidates nave been imprison-
ed on the eve OF the election. The
CrOatians in brief enjoy absolutely no
rights of citizenship.
Since the Hungarian government is
employing strong military forces to
auell the disturbances it is probable
that order in Croatia will be restored.

A Perfect Gentleman.

At euchre party in Baia the other
afternoon young woman told funny
story that she had a part in in Color
ado receHtly. I was calling" she
said, on lady in Denver, and in the
parlor with us were the two sons of
the house, Willie and George, aged re-
srectively s and D years. Willie was
very quiet and good, but George be-
haved awfully. He broke an orna-
ment; he fretted and cried; he kicked
his mother; he cut his finger with a
fruit knife. Finally my hostess said
to him: George, why can't you be-
have yourself? Just look at your
brother Willie. See what a perfect
little gentleman he is. His good con-
duct ought to make you ashamed. He
"a perfect gentleman, you-a little
beast The good Willie, sitting up
right in his chair, smiled acquiescence
to all this praise. George is making
a d-n fool of himself, isn't hep he
remarked ccmplacently."

Capt. Cosgrove, who was recently
retired from the fire department, tells
this story of Grand Central Pete"
one of the noted criminals of New
York. Having been released from
prison, friends Of Pete" who had
spent portion of his life in such in
situations, welcomed him at the rail-
way station and proceeded to cele-
brate the occasion. Pete" not hay-
ing had any liquor during his term,
was soon affected by what he drank
and, after time, his companions had
to take him to hotel and put him to
bed. In the course of the night Pete"
became restless and tumbled out of
bed, and rolling around on the floor
finally got under the bed. When he
awoke it was broad daylight. CHANGING

RUN BY PERsPiRATioN POWER.
Peculiar Elevator That Lifted Bishop
Potter's Distinguished Guest.

Potter's Distinguished Guest.
During an uncommonly hot week of
a summer when Bishop Henry c. Pot
ter resided on North Washington
square he had as guest distin-
guished English churchman, a bishop
and member of the House of Lords.
The visitor was afflicted>with rheuma-
tism and was unable to ascend the
stairs from the dining room without
considerable suffering. The residence
was equipped with a hand-pOwer
freight and baggage elevator, large
enough to accommodate one passen-
ger, although not ordinarily used for
that purpose. After noticing the evil
dent pain caused by the stairway, in
the case of his distinguished guest, it
occurred to Bishop Potter that the
freight elevator might be available
as A more convenient means of ascent.
After dinner on one of the hottest
days in summer the experiment was
tried. The visiting bishop stepped
carefully into the gloomy box. Two
young men who had also dined well,
and to whom post-prandial exertion
was in the nature of a sore burden,
were pressed into service to haul ON
the ropes. The distinguished and al
Hlcteu guest was CT portly naDlt,
and weighed more than the average of
stone"
The elevator was not built for great
weights, and its lifting power depend
ed almost exactly upon the main
strength at the end of the ropes. With
prodigious heaving and hauling the
ascent was begun. The two flushed
and painting young men looked at each
other and had emphatic thoughts. AS
the gathered calves of the ecclesiastic
were disappearing up the shaft, an
inch at a time, deep voice fioated
down to the volunteer crew:
Il say, does it run by water-power?"
And in gasping duet, the reply
assembled from below:
