Nothing of this, however, served to
appease Car Alexander III. when this
ruler heard of the engagement He
declared that if the duke married the
countess Russia's court and Russian
society would be closed to him. And
when the grand duke persisted the car
carried out his theat.
After it became thoroughly evident
that the intercession promptly made by
Queen Victoria and other friends of the
exiled duke could not persuade Alex
ander Ill. to rescind his decree. the
banished nobleman settled down to
spend the rest of his days in England.
He took Keele hail. seat of the ancient
Sneyd family since the reign of Ed
ward I'LL, and most of the summers
of his happy married life have been
spent here. The present house, al
though quite modern. is built on the
lines of the Tudor pile, constructed by
Ralph Sneyd in the sixteenth century,
and contains many treasures.
Both the duke and his wife are en-
thusiastic golfers, and at Cannes,
where tho usually spend their win
tiers, they are the chief spirits of the
local club. The dukes chief recrea-
tons, aside from golf, are music, mo-
toring and photography, the former
being heartily shared by his wife. Be-
side being an excellent performer, he
is something of composer.
While the duke felt HIS ostracism
keenly during his period of Danish
ment from Russia, he mingled freely
with English society and seldom failed
to appear with his wife at the smart
est london functions. 1t is under
stood that King Edward made a per-
sonal request that the grand duke be
restored to his former position, At the
coronation Duke Michael and his wife
were among the personal guests of
King Edward, and his majesty has
spent several week ends" in the shad-

MAKES GOOD CITIZEN
Russian Grand Duke Would Rule
Country School.
BanLshed Prince seeks Place ON Rural
Committee in EBgInnd--ExfIed
by Gar Because He Was
True to His Love.

One can hardly imagine more un-
usual proceeding than that OF a Rus
sian noblemans and grand duke, too,
supervising the destinies Of a country
school district in one of the quietest
corners of England, but, despite the
incongruity. this is just what a cousin
of Gar Nicholas ii. is prepared to do
This is the Grand Duke Michael, who,
until quite recently lived under the
strictest degree of Punishment from
Russia because his marriage displeased
the father of the present car. Since
his Punishment his serene highness has
lived in England, and now he has come
forward as candidate for seat on the
school committee of the local coun-
ell Of Staffordshire county, in which
he has his home.
No one in London who knew society
in 1890 and 1891 has forgotten the re-
nance which surrounds this prince of
the royal blood. When first he met the
beautiful Sophie Merenburg, Countess
Torby, Grand Duke Michael was an
important officer in the Russian army,
and an acknowledged leader in Rus,
sian society. AS soon as he married,
however, he was deprived of his rank
and two-thirds of his estates, stripped
Of his military uniform. and banished
from his country, apparently for life.
The bride for whom Duke Michael
sacrificed so much is the elder of two
daughters of the German prince, Mich
olas of Nassau. She was born countess
of Merenburg, but upon her marriage
with the grand duke was granted her
present title by the head of her fathers
house-the grand duke OF Luxem-
bourg
Apart from the difference in rank
between the two there could hardly
have been a more admirable match.
Both the grand duke and countess were
favorites in European society. They
were, indeed, among Queen Victoria's
personal friends, just as they are
among those of King Edward to-day.

FAIRBANKS A CANDIDATE.
Indiana senator said 20 lie willing
10 Accept the Nomination for
Vice President.

The close political friends of Senator
Charles w. Fairbanks, Of Indiana, say
that he has changed his mind in regard
to the nomination for vice president on
the republican ticket, and that he will
accept the nomination If 1t is rendered
to him.
The senator's position is such that he
cannot come out with an open declara-
ton Of his candidacy, but among his
friends it is considered that he is as
much in the race as though he had come
out in formal and public announce
ment.
The members Of the Indiana delega-
ton in congress take it for granted that
Fairbanks will be nominated for vice
president, and are formulating plans to
fill his place In the senate.
Senator Fairbanks is non-committal
when approached on the subject. For

Vealed
'The mare was pitchforked, with
nothing worth mentioning in the way
of weight or her back, into an over
night handicap with lot of swagger
horses, which made good price
against her a certainty. Her people de-
signed to blister the poolrooms
throughout the country on the win,
and so they sent their commissioners
to various points with the money
couple of days before the race.
"Now, a short time before the day
of the contemplated killing, the owner
of the mare got permission from the
jockey club stewards, for some reason
or other, to change the mares name
from Fleur-de-lis to Maxine. The COM
missioners who had gone west and
south with the big money to bet on
Fleu-de-lis didn't know anything
about this switch of the mares name
t. Maxine, and, through an oversight,
they were not informed.
at happened that the poolrooms the
commissioners went to failed to chalk
formerly Fleur-de-lis' after the name
of Maxine, as is occasionally done on
the poolroom blackboards when q
horses name is changed, and so the
commissioners, concluding, for some
reason or other, that the mare hadn't
been entered in the race that was to be
the killing, kept all of that fine Fleur-
de-lis money right in their clothes. You
can draw for yourself little charcoal
sketch of how these commissioners felt
when the operators in the poolro0ms.
after calling off the race and announce
ing that Maxine had strolled in some
thing easy, supplemented their calloff
with the dry remark: Maxine was
formerly Fleur-de-lis."
1.-THE Maxine party made big thing
of the win at the track, of course; but
so trivial an oversight as their failure
to inform their commissioners that a
change in the mares name had been
applied for cost them a good many
tens Of thousands of dollars"

DO Not suppress. a Yawn.

If you feel like yawning, do not put
your hand or your handkerchief over
your mouth and make desperate eff
fort to overcome the inclination.
Yawn well, and wide and long. 1t il
the right thing for you to do. More
over, it is a good thing for society in
general. 1t means a stretching, 4
relaxation of the muscles and an ex-
pansion of the interior economy OF
the human breast, which in turn
leads to an expansion of the human
heart, an expansion of the human
thought, and aspirations after the ex-
allied ideals. 1t is good to yawn, and
the man or woman who feels like
yawning should go into a quiet place,
where he or she will be free from
interruption, and yawn, not hesitat-
lngly or spasmodically, but boldly,
throwing the arms up, the chest
forward, the head back ard the
mauth wide open.

A class of priests, ecclesiastical
roughs, constituting one-third of the
clerical population, are noted for their
fighting tendencies. Their occupation
consists in training themselves in ath
letics-stone throwing. high jumping,
tests of bodily strength, wrestling and
singing wild songs. Their daily relig-
ious duties are reading the Scriptures.
but they have no scholarly attain
ments.
The 100000 of Thibetans are ex-
pected to support 3,242 priests of the
new school of Buddhists Among
these are 1000 reincarnated lamas,
who receive special education and
are treated with great reverence. The
government employs 165 official priests
by royal appointment and the same
number of lay officials. The depart
ments of the royal household, religious
affairs, war and treasury, all have their
own ministers.
The population of Lassa III 800 feet

priests and students, the great temple
OF Sera. $500, and the great Goden tenn

In their habits, and for this reason
they consider the Chinese extremely
clean. Many Of the men have only one

or more men have but one wife for the

children, for each recognizes the nu-
merous fathers az first. second and
third father, and so on through the
list.

Englands so-called peaceful" adj
vance into Thibet with force from
1000 to 1900 strong, led by Col. Young
husband and Col. Macdonald, is the
subject of much discussion by Euro
pean statesmen. Russia is suspicious
of the movement. From the English
governments standpoint the expedi-
ton is TO support and protect the COM
mission sent to more rigidly enforce
the treaty between Great Britain and
Thibet; also to gain new concessions
and, more than all, to enlarge the
channels OF commerce and see that
Russia gets no more favors than Eng
land
Before the expedition started the
Chinese government published in the
Picking Gazette an official memorial
from the amban reporting a conference
with the Thibetan state councillors, at
which he urged them to abandon the
policy of obstruction and to be reason
able and discuss in a friendly manner
trade questions with the British COM
missioners who would cross the from
tier The memorial was an indication
that China herself would place no seri-
GUS obstacle in the way of negotia-
tons. Since the expedition started the
Chinese government has made no pro-
test or remonstrance of any kind; on
the contrary. it has given evidence
that it regards the expedition with APP
proval.

exhaustive argument by counsel the
VIII Culpepper murder case did not
go TO the jury last night. as expected,
and at a late hour court took a recess
from the night session until this morn
ing. Argument was finished shortly
before noon to-day.
The jury came in at o'clock. and
stated that they were not likely to
agree, but were returned to their room.
a verdict being reached at 8 o'clock.
1t is understood that a majority fa-
vored a verdict of murder, but one or
two were for acquittal. The verdict
rendered was for voluntary manslaugh-
ter, and is. therefore. regarded as a
compromise verdict.
Judge Sheffield Immediately sentenced
Culpepper to twenty years In the PEN
itentiary, stating that he regarded the
sentence as light. No motion has so
far been made by his counsel.
Culpepper was convicted of the mur-
der OF D. a. Fields OF Donaldsonville
last July, shooting him as he got out
of his buggy. and after cursing him
for being instrumental in having Gull
pepper excluded from the church on
account Of alleged improper relations
with a woman of the neighborhood.
The only defense was that Fields had
knife. which was not proven by the
defendant. 1t is believed that the
counsel for the defense are content
with the verdict, as it is. and that
Culpepper will begin to serve sem
tence.
Culpepper was at the time of the
killing a minister in some Of the rural
districts.
