political parties are now, just be-

ious to avoid passing any measure
which in any way provides for new
appropriations-the conscience of
congress invariably becomes very

it is easily proven that a new judi

The Murder of. Gar Paul.

The nearest approach in modern
times to the recent Servian tragedy
was the murder of the Emperor Paul
of Russia, who was done to death by
his mobiles March, "a, 1901. He had
gone to bed in his accustomed man
ner, wearing his uniform, as we'll as
booted and spurred. He was awak.
ened in the night by hearing the
struggle between the sentry and the
mobiles, who, after dispatching the SOL
der, burst into the emperors room.
Paul begged for his life but all in
vain. He. then tried to escape by the
window, cutting himself badly in the
attempt. He was dragged back and
for a time kept his nine assailants at
bay by striking out with a chair.
Then, after a terrible struggle, they
seized him and strangled him with

Marcellus Hartley Dodge! favorite
grandson Of Marcellus Hartley, the
dead millionaire, yesterday was the
recipient Of checks representing $11,-
OO0,OO0 from his classmates at the
class day exercises in Columbia uni
yersity. That the reference to the
legacy he will receive from the estate
OF his grandfather was not pleasing
to the young man was made manifest.
He did not arise to accept the checks,
but compelled Roi Cooper Magrue, the
presentation orator, to carry them over
to where he was sitting and place
them In bis hand. Neither did he ut
ter a word Of acknowledgment of a
gift which recalled so Unexpectedly
the death OF his grandfather.
1t was joke designed by the grad
uating class. Not until its effect was
shown by their popular fellow student
did it dawn upon the students that a
orecch OF good taste had been COM
mitted. In making the presentation
Mr.. Magrue said:
although Mr.. Dodge is very hard
worker, we are afraid his path in life
will not be as smooth as we should
wish. Therefore, to assist him at the
outset of his struggle with the world,
we have taken up a collection and
raised $11,000,000, which is repre-
sented by these three checks. l take
pleasure in presenting them to you, sir,
as evidence of the interest Of the class
in your welfare"

FARM ON HISTORIC GROUND

Secretary Wilson is taking pride in
directing this work. The portion Of
the Lee estate set apart for farming
purposes is about the poorest piece of
land in that section of the country. It
was entirely unfit for agricultural pur-
poses, and it was necessary to fertil.
ize and improve it. The experts of
TO demonstrate that the poorest land
in the country can be profitably util-
lied for successful farming operations.
Gen. Lees former home is one of
the most beautiful spots in the vicin-
ity of the national capital. The man.
sion stands on the brow of hill
which slopes away half . mile to the
Potomac, 200 feet below. The view
from the portico of the old mansion
had been famed for century. When
Lafayette was a guest at Arlington
he pronounced the prospect from the
porch one of the most beautiful he
had ever looked upon. Since Lafay-
ette's visit the view has been changed,
new beauties have been added, while
some of the old ones were destroyed
by the ravages of war. The complet-
ed capitol, with it's majestic dome, the
symmetrical Washington monument,
the beautiful Congressional library
and other architectural features have
taken their place in the picture, while
grove of majestic trees which
graced the slope below the house were
utterly destroyed during the greatest
civil conflict ever waged.
