THE BABY IS A SOLDIER.
Queer Outcome of Suit on Nurses
Contract in Russia.

VuSS- OutCOAne VI SulL on Nurse
Contract in Russia.
A peculiar incident illustrating
the tedious processes of Russian
law and the extreme hardness of
Russian justice is told by A. Max
lei, a recent emigrant from that
country, who was IA witness in .
case which required II years
to get a decision. He left the
country about three weeks ago and
has just been informed of the out
come.
Mr.. Maklei came to Minneapolis
on account of a dislike toward him
in the neighbOrhood of Kishineff,
because he expressed sympathy
for the homeless Hebre WIS, says the
Minneapolis Journal. His atti
tude was considered as Nihilistic
by some, and, although he is not .
jew himself, he thought he would
be better off in a free country.
In 1886 a boy was born to no
bleman living near Kishinetf, and
according to the custom Il nurst
was hired TO have sole charge Of
the child until he became old
enough to be placed in the schools.
The nurse was compelled to sign a
contract binding her to service for
five years. She did her work faith
fully for two years and then broke
her contract by marrying Il young
workman who was often employed
at the nObleman's house. She
had, however, been so faithful &c
her little charge and had done her
work so well, that the father
brought suit in the provincial
court to make her return and com.
ply with her contract.
In the trial in the lower courts
the case was decided in favor of
the girl, but the nobleman had the
money and the case was carried
up by those mysterious methods
known only in Russia, until il
finally reached the highest court
of the land.
This august body, called the
high synod, after considerable de.
lay and argument, rendered yer.
dict to the effect that, inasmuch as
the girl had signed the contract,
she must return at once and full.
fill it. Imprisonment is the penal
ty for refusing to obey the courts
orders, and the girl, now pros.
porous matrOn, is in a quandary as
to her next move, for the little bow
mentioned in the contract is now
serving his time in the Russian
army. Mr.. Maklei says he does
not know whether the high synod
looked at the date of the docu
ments of appeal.

RACING WITH A MOOSE.
A Maine Man Well Mounted Tries to

Run 1t Down and FAILS.
Ernest G. Judkins, bOokkeeper
for the KineO company, had a re-
.markable experience with Il bull
moose on the carriage road to
Deer Head farm, two miles from
Kineo, says the Bangor CONNER
cial.
Mr.. Judkins was taking morn
ing ride, gallOping along a level
stretch. when the horse came to a
standstill with a jolt and snort.
Looking ahead, Mr.. Judkins saw a
bull moose feeding on the tender
sprouts of the bushes growing by
the roadside, not 60 yards away.
Mr.. JudkiDs' first impulse was to
ride the moose down, but he
thought better of this, and hoOted
to attract the animals attention,
and possibly to brighten him from
the road, so that he could proceed,
but the moose fed calmly on. Al
the end of Il few minutes the beast
moved down the road i'm search Of
more food. and Mr.. JudkinS fol
lowed at a respectful distance.
hooting until his throat was
hOarse. but he might just as well
have whispered as faras the moos"
was concerned. This proceeding
was repeated over half a mile OF
the road.
At the end of that distance the
moose faced about and began feed
ing toward the horse and rider,
casting an uncOncerned look in
their direction every now and
then, and Mr.. Judkins' Steed did
the backstep for Il few rods This
was a little too much for the
hOrseman, and, becoming impa-
tient, he gave a tremendous yell
to attract the attention of the
moose. which was successful,
plunged spurs into the horse, and
made for the impudent highway.

With the first leap of the horse
the Indifference of the moose
changed to concern, and. turning
abruptly about. lac started down
the road at a great, clumsy trOt.
This put Il new aud interesting
phase to the situation, and, urg-
ing on his horse, Mr.. Judkins pro-
ceeded to have his turn at the
sport, only hoping that the moose
would keepto the road. The moose
obliged in this particular and the
horse was a good one and entered
into the spirit of the chase, but
try as he could the distance be-
tween him and the fleeing animal
did not lessen materially.

ELECTRICITY AS WAR AGENT.
Rapid Extension of Its Use in Forth
fcations on the Coast.

Adplu EAlSuSlOn O4 IT'S use III rOILr
fcations on the Coast.
An interesting instance of the
rapid extension of the use of cleo.
tricity is furnished by the FORTH.
cations distributed along our
coast. A few years ago the cleo.
trio light was introduced to add
to the comfort of the garrisons
and to provide better illumination
of the work. Once a generating
plant had been installed there was
at hand supply of power in a
convenient and easilycOntrOllable
form, and this led to its use for
purposes which were not cOntem
plated at the time the plant was
installed. Electric fans have been
put in to make the living quarters
more comfortable in hot weather,
and electric motors have been
adopted for training the guns, a
class Of work for which they are
particularly well adapted. Mo
tors are used to drive the ammu
milton hOists and to do other work
which before had either been done
by hand or some less satisfactory
power. Searchlights have been
installed, enabling a fertilization
to sweep the sea ut night, says the
Scientific American.
The various ports of the fort
ress are connected together by
telephone, so that the command
ant is in touch at all times with
the entire garrison, and can in
stantly transmit orders to any
point. The various fOrtificatiOns
along the coast are tied together
by telephone and telegraph, so
that on the appearance of theen
envy at any point all the fortified
tiOns would be informed of it..
Submarine mines are controlled
electrically, and even the guns
may be fired by this means by an
officer at some distant point. BY
means of wireless telegraphy a
fertilization can be kept in touch
with the scouting vessels, and
would be informed of the ap.
prOach of an enemy long before he
is visible from the coast. The te.
Autograph may be brought into
service for transmitting orders,
and electric signaling lights are re-
placing the older types. Electric
lights lightingthe range finder sta
tiCns, and electric clock circuits
furnish accurate time to all parts
of the Notifications. To insure
the continuity of these manifold
services, acumulatOrs are now
installed, so that there will at all
times be a constant and reliable
supply of power. Thus. from be
ing at first a small auxiliary. the
electric equipment has extended
until it is now probably the most
important part of the entire
equipment Of the fortress.

In fitting or gas globes it is a
common error to screw them too
tightly. Room should be allowed
for the expansion of the glass
when it has become heated by the
gas, for otherwise a breakage is
inevitable.

Tennessee Convention AdJourns After Exciting sessien--The Platforms
 of IS00 and 1900 Are G2ven No Notice

Nashville, Tenn, May 26.-The Demo- cratic State Convention was chiefly con spicuous on account of its personnel and tho fact that its deliberations were di- rected by young men in the organization. An effort had been made to commit the party to the policies enunciated in the platforms-of 1896 and 1900 and the fact that dignified by a passing notice Is evidence that the party in Tennessee has forgot ten the past and is resolved to align 1t. self with the conservative element.
 The name of William Jennings Bryan failed to evoke the least enthusiasrns Committeeman Head declared ina speech to the Convention that We must get with the East; the West will come with us. We have tried them twice." This was the sentiment that controlled the convention and dominated it's action. The platform is volumlnous and arraigns the Republicans for sins of omission and commission. It approves of the Panama Canal but is severe in it's criticism of President Roosevelt for the manner in which the treaty was brought about. and of his efforts to foist negro ofIice holders or, the South.
 This is the first convention to condemn the President on the ground of precfpf- tating the race issue and the platform ueCiefrB lHs1t IuC IlOpS tFEf government depends upon the unquestion- ed social supremacy of the white man and that whoever by word or act seeks to bring this fact in question is an en- emy of his country and his race
 The ship subsidy bill and postoffice scandals are denounced and that part of the platform dealing with national issues bear the impress of Senator Carmack.
 The convention put itself on record as In favor of the temperance law enacted by the last Legislature and against its repeal. The Republicans also gave en- dcrsement to this legislation, but the question will be an issue in the ensuing campaign. as will also the election laws which is the first that has failed or re- fused to commend them since they were passed. "
 These laws have been enforced in 8 partisan spirit in factional feuds and for that reason are becoming unpopular with many Democrats.
