 General Kuropatkin, who heretofore $ handled every detail of the vast or nization, has almost broken down un-

 Jackson, Miss, Sept. s.-The state of Mississippi has in it's treasury one dol lar and fifty-six cents, and there is no relief in sight. Much doubt is express ed in financial circles whether firm of New York and Chicago brokers who re- gently purchased a state bond issue of half a million dollars will pay for them, and the banks of the state seemingly are unwilling to advance money for im- mediate use. No payments of taxes are due for thirty days and a proposed spe- ciaI session of the legislature could not bring relief within that period.

In the second heat Tiverton. who reeeded in the polls, owing to be drawn for the second platoon, started last and finish ed first.

Strong was the contender in both heats and the gray gelding push l ed Tiverton hard in the second heat. In the third heat 1t was nothing but Tiv- erton, Andrews going under the wire holding him tip. Much surprise was expressed at Tiverton's finishing sev- enth in the first heat, but Andrews ex- tpIained it by saying the gelding's tongue slipped the bit and was nearly torn off.

GILLETTS RADIUM PARTIES.
At Mr.. Ginett's radium parties now
being held in London some of the
smartest American society women can
be Seen together. These novel and chic
functions are extremely exclusive, Mr..
GiHett limiting his parties TO $50 guests,
and no pleading on the part of his dear
est friend would urge him to Overstep
his number Almost One-hah Of the
guests are well-knOwn society women
from the United States, and it is COM
mented that it is the American women
who are most keenly interested and
who ask the most intelligent questions
of the professor there TO explain the
powers and wonders of radium.
Mr. Gillett's parties are always in
teresting events in London. for they
are held at the Bachelors Club, one OF
the most swagger clubs in London,
One door of this club opens on to Picca-
dilly, but the ladies' entrance is a little
way up Hamilton place. The clubroOms
of the members are so sacred that they
are never seen by the eyes Of feminine
visitors. and when ladies, by some very
special invitation, are allowed to enter
the clubhouse of these bachelor men.
they not only enter by this special door.
. but ascend to rooms above by a spe-
cial lift, or the special staircase. and
are entertained in special dining AMI
drawing rooms quite distinct from
t.-ose into which even men guests may
penetrate.
Among the many interesting Amer
leans invited to these radium parties
are Mrs. Howard Cockerell, the sister
of Lady Abinger daughter of the cele-
brated Commander Magruder of the
United States navy and the niece OF
General ]. B. Magruder. who was COM
mander of the Confederate forces in
Texas during the Civil War; Mrs.
I,oriIlard and Miss Van Wart, who
is so we'll known in American
society. 1t is said of Miss Van
Wart that she has refused Lalf the
British aristocracv. This society favor
ties has now taken house in Curzon
street, not far from the mansion newly
erected for the Duke and Duchess Of
Marlborough. and which Is now fast
becoming an American colony.
Although members of the exclusive
Bachelors Club do not cease TO be

one dozen bottles of champagne for

that he is in the eyes of the club con-
sidered a poor creature. The chairman,
of course, is always a Bachelor in
every sense. Mr.. Gillett being perhaps

astonished me by observing that she
had met the late Queen Victoria five
years ago.
Nearly all the children at the Vaude-
vile Theater have been continuously
employed at salaries ranging from 81 so
TO SIS weekly for the last four years,
and most of the girls wear little lockets
containing small pieces of cake which
formed part of the cake Queen Alexan-
dra gave them personally when they
played in Quality Street" at Windsor
Castle by royal command. The boys,
however, possess no such mementoes,
and on being questioned one sturdy lad
named Albert Valchera, who earns
ST. 30 weekly, although he is not yet 13
years old, said: That cake was too
good to stick in a locket. We ate all
ours quick, l can tell you"
Curiously enough, the boys when they
grow UP seldom stick to the stage, but
go into business. The girls. however
rarely quit the footlights and often be-
come famous actresses. Ellen Terry,
Ellaline Terriss and many other cele-
brities of the English stage started
their career as fairies in pantomime

Cures Effected by Radium.

PARIS. March Rheumatism
and neuralgia are cured by the radio
active energy of radium, so DR.. Darier
reports in n communication to the
French Academy of Medicine. He says
he has employed it in the treatment
of such cases. The pain. he finds, is
relieved by the action of the rays on
the nerve centers. a case of facial
paralysis was cured by two applications
of the new agent in only slightly ac-
tive form. DR.. Darier thinks the in
furious effects of radium on the ner-
vous system observed by other physi-
clans we're due to lack of experience in
its use.

LIBERALITY
OF EDWARD
OF ENGLAND
Insists on Paying for
All Command"
Performances.

LONDON, March 5.-King Edward is
getting pretty sick of Sandringham as
a residence. He likes the surround
ings, but the house is continual source
of annoyance to him. 1t was built
originally on the Jerry" principle and
the builders are never out of 1t. The
King, who is a smart business man.
has begun to think that If the place
were not looked upon as a kind of ma
tional inheritance he would abandon it
tomorrow. The builders men are in
there now, and his Majesty has had
to cover the expenses Of the repairs
by insurance. The present situation in
regard to the estate appears to justify
Mr. Labouchere's statement when he
said that the sale was a piece of job
berry.
While King Edward has been obliged
to practice retrenchment in many di-
rections since he came to the throne.
he does not share the parsimonicus pro-
Densities of the late Queen. The Gus
tom of the managers of theatrical per
formances "by command" is to send in
an account and the sum demanded is
expected to be paid without demur.

that London pays a propOrtionately
heavier rate for service. as regards
efriency it certainly is not to be com

OBJECTS TO METHOD
OF TEACHING BIBLE
German Professor Insists That All
Contradictions of Scriptures
Should Be Explained.

BERLIN. March 5.-Professor De-
has come to the front with elaborate
objections to the present methods of
imparting religious instruction in the
schools. He says:
The findings in recent excavations
in Mesopotamia should be put before
school boys and girls. They should not
be brought UP in ignorance of the re-
suits of the late Investigations into the
history of religion.
Children should be taught that in
Genesis there are two divergent ac-
counts of the creation, and that both
are the outcome of Babylonian myths.
About the flood they should be taught
that the Biblical narrative is also a
vestige of ancient Babylonian folklore.
These ancient sagas should be dug
out of the scripture books and given to
scholars at school or explained. If they
are not a day will come when the
grown-up man will throw them all over
and more besides, which he should re-
tain.
Il am opposed to having school boys
and girls taught that the narrative
about the world being made in seven
days is true, or that there is any verac-
ity in the statements that man was
made of clay. that life was breathed
into his nose and that woman was
made of a mans rib. / object to the
tales about the ten patriarchs, about
the SUBMITS of the highest mountains

and about the ark of Noah.
