the World correspondent has learned

She has been loved 10y the Car for
more than ten years. The close friend.
ship between the Russian Emperor
and the Polish dancer dates back 20
two years before the Cars marriage.
The C1arina 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 forcbod
ings 90 the commands OF relatives and
may have been sustained by the hope
that the Car would become SO at

the dancer. But she had 90 learn the
bitter truth that Matilda Kschesinska
retained her place in the Cars afec'

of thre~ moro children. all sons. while
II was the Czarina's fate To become the
mother of girls only.
Still. by degrees the Czarlna. with
her pure heart and lofty mind. gained
a great ascondancy over her husband.
and he has now consented 20 break OF
all relations with the Polish ballerlna.

SHE GOT IT IN THE NECK.
An Augusta Expressman's Experience
as Wild West Hero.

There is one of the local express
drivers who aspires to rival Montana
Harry in the use of the whip but
thinks that after an experience which
he had. yesterday morning. he will do
his practicing, in future, in a ten-acre
lot. He was coming down Water street
on his wagon, and had a friend with
him, and was showing how skilled he
was with whip having a long lash.
He made two or three trials, and sue
ceeded in hitting the horses ears, at
which he aimed, each time. Then the
friend tried it, but could not spin Il
thread. so to speak. whereupon the cx-
press man took the whip again, to show
him how. 1t happened that near his
team at that moment was another
which stood near the sidewalk, and
Contained d lady. She was as deeply
in thought as he was engrossed with
his task in hand, and neither knew Of
the others existence just then. al
though they became aware Of it 4 mo-
ment later.
The expressman swung the whip, and
getting the right poise, released the
lash, expecting it to flick an imaginary
fly from his horses right ear, but it
didn't do anything of the kind. In
stead of going in the direction intended,
it went straight for the unsuspecting
woman and catching her on the neck,
wound around it like thread on a spool.
The shock brought her back to earth
with such suddenness that for q mo-
ment there was a clear space of at least
five inches between her and the seat of
the buggy, and when at last she found
her voice. there would not be exclama
ton points enough in the magazine of
A linotype machine to emphasize what
she said.
As for the express man. he was SO
broken UP that he could hardly say
anything by way of apology and it is
limited that he spent a whole hour try
ing to think up something nice to say.
that he might set himself right with

Mr.. Bartlett had discovered one in
teresting novelty in the woods, this
summer. He and Warden Woodland
were on the Canadian side of Boundary
lake and found some moose meat, cured
by slowly drying over fire. The out
side was black and hard as a brick, but
on cutting into it. the inside was found
to be as fresh and sweet as if newly
killed. Meat cured in this way. he says,
win keep for a very long period of time
perfectly fresh. This meat, by the way
had been killed on the American side
by Canadian poachers. These poachers
are people whom the Wardans would be
glad to get hold of. Fontaine, one Of
the most notorious of them. boasts that
he has killed 400 moose in Maine in five
years and Warden Bartlett has no
doubt that the boast is close to the
truth. Other poachers with a bad rec
ord are Bergue, Hunter and Marrow,
and they all cause the Wardens no end
of trouble. Warden Bartlett is one Of
Mr.. Carleton's most trusted assistants,
and it is surmised that Nj. Carleton
has something good in store for him,

high life in New York's smart set. If
for no other reason, this play would be
a novelty. But it is a play that partic-
ularly appeals to the men and women
of the theatregong public because its
characters are all human beings and
not impossible ideals. why Women

pleasing and distinct comedy element.
The production of "Why Women Sin"
makes one of the most beautiful series
OF stage pictures ever attempted. The
Millionaires' Club. the front of Trinity

the Riverside cafe are all superior from
scenic standpoint to anything seen on
the road. In the company are such we'll
