however. in the case of Ivan. very
 much more than the mere instruments of barbaric justice They were his re- creation and delight. As a boy his amusement was to throw dogs down from the top Of one of the castle ter- races and watch their dying agonies. As a man he used to go the round oe the torture chambers after dinner. ona Of his first crimes was the execution of his earliest friend, Feodor vorontsov: one of his last was the murder of his own son.
 | According to waliszewski it was the recognized thing in Russia for the up- per dog to make things as uncomforta- ble for the under dog as knouts and slow fires could make them. So "Tha Terrible" only talked to his subjects in the language they could most readi- ly understand Ivan was by no means unpopular with the people. In many ways he was an enlightened and pro- gressive monarch. He took the first steps toward the founding of Russia's great Eastern Empire; he made more successful attempts toward political and legal reform and he had certain gift of leadership and in stinct of states manship which he used to the best ad- vantage. Personally he was coward as was shown by the siege of Kasans
 when he kept diligently to his devo-
 tions despite the repeated entreaties oG
 his men to come and help them.

In this case he set large trunk. which was broken open by. the warden. who found 4e5 partridses on their way to New York from Chatham County. Trunk and birds were confiscated. and the birds sold for sI.50 a dozen. All sorts of tricks are being attempted to get birds out of the State.

Therefore to evade kissing the book some of them kiss the thunmb that Is helping to hold the book instead of the actual Bible. They have utter disregard, it is said, for the practice of affirming by hold ing up the right hand which Is in vogue in some courts and when a fell low has told a lie to the court after raising his hand he will explain that he has famed the judge. or the wise gazabo," as he is termed.
 A policeman is known as Dull" because for thief to see bull when he is out of a job is a sure sign that he will have an ecounter or foot race with a policeman. constable or some other officer of the law.
 Another omen of evil to thief is to have yellow dog bark or snap at him Nwhen he is out looking for work" To have a cat cross his path at night when he is going to do work" Is also considered a sign of bad luck.
 Tn the legends of thievery it is re- lated that the English highwayman Claude Duval came to his death by Ignoring the warning given him by a "big black cat with gleaming eyes which crossed his path on the Charing road"
 To steal a purse containing foreign money Is regarded by the purioiner as a sign that before the year is over he will have travelled in strange lands. It is good luck for a pickpocket to find gold in purse he has stolen from some persons at wedding. while 1t is equally bad luck to ''workT at a funeral.
 Funerals and the houses of death are regarded by every class of crimi- nals as tokens of i'll luck To meet a funeral while going to a crib" that is to be cracked" means that death or Imprisonment awiats the attempt.

WILL NOT TRADE VOTES
SOUTHERN C0SGREsssfEN ACT ON
 HIGH PLANE.
Insinuations Have Leaked Out That Re- publican Leaders Will Not Cut Representation If There is
 ReciprOcity.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 13.--Special. ] There has been no little talk among Democratic leaders to the effect that the threatened reduction of Southern representatives would be used as a club to be held over Southern Senators and Representatives for the purpose of con- trolling their votes on various meas ures.
 Because the present attitude of the administration on certain questions portend division in his own ranks, the votes of Southern Democrats will be- come decidedly an important factor. Conversations with prominent Demo- crats indicate no disposition to per- init this question to be used for trad ing.
 Senator carmack said today: 'The Democrats will oppose in my belief. any effort to reduce Southern represen- tation by all honorable means, but they would make no concession on mat ters of principle. They will not vote against a good nor In favor of a bad measure, even to thwart Plat or Crumpacker."
 Speaking of the presidents policy. Mir Carmack said: The Democrats would support him wherever they be- 1ieved he was right and oppose him where he was in their opinion wrong. without tho slightest regard to his or any mody else's attitude on the question of Southern representation" If for instance the President should insist upon genuine revision of the tariff. he ought to have the cordial sup port of every Southern Democrat and the same is true with respect to 5 Legislation aimed at the trusts. On the other hand, the presidents lawless and meddlesome disposition. his propensity for militarism and for policing the uni. verse ought to be just as earnestly resisted
 The Tennessee Senator was asked what he thought of Senator Stones statemept that the Democratic party ought to adopt a more active and ag- gressive policy.
 'T think" said the senator. That. in- stead of cultivating a passion for legislation we ought to cuftiva'e re- spect for law We have plenty of work cut out for us here at home without hunting for trouble in the uts ternost parts of the earth. If we can curb the power of the trusts, if we can reduce exorbitant taxation and restore an economical government, we can find some way to check the growing evil of bribery an dcorruption in our nation' al elections. Tn short if we can de- vote our surplus energy to the setle@ ment of our own domestic problems. that, it seems to me. Is Co ask enough of Deocratic statesmanship."

IVAN THE TERRIBLE
BARBARIC GEAR WHO LOVED TO
 BURN AND BOIL SUBJECTS.
K. waIiszewslxi Tells some of the Rea- sons Why Ivan Got Ills Unenvia-
 bIe SobriQuet.

Some of the reasons why Ivan. Czar of Russia Was called The Terrible :, have been retold by K wahszewski in his recent book, says The Chicago News. Persons who displeased him he would saw asunder by the constant rubbing of a rope around his waist, or sprinkle alternately with ice-cold and boiling water. He marked his sense of a bad joke by deluging the perpetrator with boiling soup and then running him through with a knife. He rebuk- ed an unmannerly envoy by summon ing a carpenter and ordering him to nail the mans hat on his head. There were also wholesale orgies. as ,at the punishment of Novgorod, when he had a hundred persons roasted over a slow fire by a new and ingenious process and then run down on sledges into the river to be drownedA At Moscow the czar had a disappointment. There was to be a great execution of 300 victims. who had already been tortured to the last extremity. and loyal subjects had been summoned to the function. ITO Ivan's astonishment the great square was empty. The instruments of tor ture that stood ready--the stoves and red-hot pincers and iron claws and nee- dles. the cords. the great copper full of boiling water--had failed to attract this time.
 But there had been too. much of this thing lately, and the executioners were growing too long-armed. Every man sought to hide deeper than his neigh bor. The czar had to end-reassuring messages all over the town. ECome alongl Don't be afraid Nobody will be hurt! At last out of cellars and garrets the necessary spectators were tempted forth. and forthwith Ivan; fn- exhaustible and quite unabashed began | lengthy speech Could he do less | than punish the traitors? But he prom ised them he would be mereifui and he would keep his word. Out of the 300 he had sentenced 1s0 should have their ] lives.' Torture and execution were.

ALL CROOKS AVOID IT WHENEVER
 POSSIBLE.
Some Good and Bad Luck Signs Which
 AfHeet the Men Wh0 Live By Dark DeeAa.


 A Washington crook who has "bsen over the road several times to Tren- ton and Moundsville. and wno declared he Is going to reform, was discussing some of the tricks of the trade in front of one of the city missions, says a Washington letter to The New York Herald.
 The conversation reverted to the su- perstitions prevalent among criminals. The Washington man said while he was in prison he talked with many crooks on this subject.
 ''On my last tour to Trenton" he said, I met up with an old fellow who has been in the 'profesh' for many moons. From him I got data enough to fill up my book on superstitions connected with the business.
 He said many of theee beliefs came from England. One is that no pick pocket would think of working" un- less he has about his person a charm of some sort. These charms sometimes consist of a lucky penny, a small stone or some other article which the wearer believes possesses mystic power against i'll luck. He met a pickpocket at Trenton. who car ried in his pocket the finger bones of an old woman whose hand was am- putated in a railroad accident. The owner of this uncanny charm asserted that he resprrected the hand from the spot where 1t was buried near a hospi- tai Gin the light of the full moon." When the fellow lost his charm one day he declared misfortune would soon overstake him.
 And 1t did" said the Washington man, for in less than week he was pinched by a New York bull and Is now doing a five year stunt in one Of the State pens
 Should a thief be riding a vehicle of any kind and the horse suddenly slip or stumble he regards that as a warning that he must refrain from work" on that day.
