RUSSIAN GHOST STORIES.
How a Murder Was Revea1ed-Strange
Warning of Death.
From the Rebus.

FROM the ReDuS
In a certain town in the province of
Minsk, West Russia, a peasant suddenly
disappeared. He was last seen alive leav-
ing the church and going home to his
sister, with whom he lived.
One day in dream his sister saw her
brother. He looked pale, his eyes were
closed and his legs were broken. He told
her that he had been murdered by her hus-
band and his brothers. He mentioned the
exact date and place of the deed and added
that his body was put into sack and
thrown into the river. He wanted her to
find his body and to haven't buried in the
family grave.
This dream was repeated several times
and at last the sister sought the advice of
her aged father-in-law. He told her that
it would be difficult to find the body, and if
the culprits were brought to justice her
children would be left orphans; so, after
consideration, the sister gave the mat
ter up.
But her brothers spirit would not rest
and appeared in dream in the above man
ner to a friend of his. Soon the news
spread to the local authorities, who took
the matter up The river. was searched
and the body was found in the exact spot
indicated.
The discovery had such an effect on the
murderers that they at once confessed.
They gave all the details of the crime

RIOTS AT VLADIVOSTOK.
Soldiers Fire Upon the Mobs-City Un.
der Martial Law.

A state of war has been declared in Nlad-
ivostok Private advices from there to st.
Petersburg say that the Chinese quarter
has been entirely destroyed and that the
uprising is now under control.
The upheaval in Russia following the re-
form manifesto has now reached Vladivos-
tok and Yeniseisk and other extreme points
of the empire. The condition of affairs at
Vladivostol is quite critical. Many persons
have been killed and the foreigners have
taken refuge on the ships in the harbor
Many public buildings, stores and houses
have been pillaged and set fire to by the
mob.
The American embassy has received from
Consul Greener at Vladvostok details of
the outbreak, which began Sunday after
noon Immediately after the departure of
the Russian armored cruisers Gromobot
and Rossia. The people, who had gathered
in great crowds in the streets, became ex-
cited by inflammatory speeches. Many sol
diers and sailors were also in an angry
mood, having expected to go home with the
squadron
The mob began to break windows and
pillage, and in the evening set fire to the
theater, the Golden Horn Hotel to several
blocks of Chinese buildings in the northern
part of the city and to the officers resi-
dences and other buildings in the eastern
quarter. The fires burned all night. Sew
enty buildings were consumed. Troops were
summoned to restore order, and fired fre-
quent volleys killing many persons.
Just before the American consul tele-
graphed yesterday the commandment OF the
fortress of Vladivostok, assisted by priests
and the leaders of the workmen's organiza-
tons addressed the mob, urging them to
keep the peace, but the consul said he
feared the attempt would be in vain.
Mr.. Greener added that twenty-four mer-
chant vessels in the harbor were now
crowded with inhabitants. The consul was
on board a steamer when he sent his DIS
! ,tal, ..f- 20 20 IN

tfful bride the future had also naught but
what was good. Twice he fought In
France, and came back each time laden
with honors. A high place at court was
given to him, and he spent many years at
Windsor under the second Richard and the
fourth Henry-where he received the honor
of the Garter, and won the name OF being
a brave soldier, true-hearted gentleman
and a great lover and patron of every art
and science which refires or ennobles life.
AS to John. he took unto himself village
maid, and settled in Lyndhurst, where his
five thousand crowns made him the richest
franklin for many miles around For many
years he drank his ale every night at the
Pied Merlin, which was now kept by his
friend Aylward, who had welded the good
widow to whom he had committed his plum
er. The strong men and the bownlen OF
the country round used to drop in there OF
an evening to wrestle fall with John or
to shoot round with Aylward but, though
silver shilling was to be the prize of the
victor, it has never been reported that any
man earned much money in that fashion.
So they lived, these men, in their own lusty,
CHEEKY fashion-rude and rough. but honest,
kindly and true. Let US thank God If We
have outgrown their vices. Let us
pray to God that we may ever
hold their virtues. The sky may
darken, and the clouds may gather, and
again the day may come when Britain may
have sore need of her children, on what
ever shore of the sea they be found. Shall
they not muster at her call?
The End.

RUSSIAN DISORDERS.
Workmen Decide to Renew Strike
General Walkout,

In view of the condemnation to death of
many of the sailors who mutinied at Cron-
stadt, the delay in carrying out the reforms
outlined in the imperial manifesto, the proc
lamat.on OF martial law in Poland, and 9th
er repressive acts, the council Of workmen'
delegates decided at st. Petersburg yester-
day to proclaim general strike through
out Russia.
A cablegram from Warsaw last night
says: The military authorities have again
forbidden the railway strikers TO hold a
meeting. Five hundred bank clerks held a
meeting at the exchange and resolved to
continue Their strike.
The management of the gas works an
nounces that the supply of gas will be
shortly exhausted. Disorder is still ram
pant. Poor people are suffering untold pri-
yations. Supplies are very scarce.
Coal and Kerosene command fabulous
prices Hopes are entertained that the
Vienna and yistula railways wilssoon re-
sumo running, as the courage of the strik-
ing employees is gone.
In the Pultusk district of Warsaw lynch
ing parties have been organized. They have
attacked the roaghs who infest the neigh
borhood, killing twelve and wounding
many of them.
Al cablegram from Moscow last night
says: A strike has broken out In a group
OF factories beyond the river. Troops have
been sent to the scene

how, after service, they took him to a mill
where they all dined, and on leaving for
home they attacked their victim Finding
that the sack was too small, they cut off
his legs tied stone to his neck and threw
him in the river. The above is certified to
be perfectly accurate by the local authors
ties.
A Russian paper relates the following as
having occurred in an officers family at
the time of an outbreak of cholera The
eldest son was in an Office in a town nearly
two hundred miles from his home.
One morning the family was visited by
an undertaken, who said he had received
orders from a person. whom he described,
to make coffin for their eldest SON. The
father replied that the son was far away
and that all the family were alive and

Directly afterward a message came that
the eldest son had died OF cholera ut the
sametime that his exact similitude had
been seen by the undertaken.

POLISH POLICY DENOUNCED.
Witte in Disfavor Over His Action
Revolutiouaries Active.

cablegram from St. Petersburg last
night says: The fact that of the entire
body of the Russian press two utterly dis
credited papers alone express open salts
faction with Count Whites new policy to-
ward Poland and convey their sentiments
| In form repugnant to the conscience of
the civilized world. not to speak of ordi-
nary common sense, appears more convinc-
ing evidence Of the trend of public opinion
regarding Poland than columns of extracts
from opposition organs.
The storm of denunciation Of the govern
ment today is overwhelming. Even such
| an arrant enemy of the rights of the people
as the Novoe Vremya cannot find the cour-
age openly to indorse repression and walls
against further bloodshed.
strange light is thrown upon the gov
ernments change of attitude by protest
from the Warsaw committee of social DEM
ocrats, which declares that the government
first encouraged the nationalist demonstra-
tons. In the hope that they might lead to
| the breakup of the strike, and then turned
| against the nationalists as soon as it dis
covered it's mistake.
1t Is evident that the nationalist move
ment In Poland, like the constitutionalist
movement in Russia, tried to arrest rev.
olution and has been rewarded with moth
ing but the suspicion and hatred of the
government 1t is needless to add that all
that is happening in Russia and Poland
now strengthens the HduuS OIL the IeNOlu-
tionaries.
According to the Nasha Zhizn there was
a frequent exchange of kilograms between
st. Petersburg and Berlin before the proc
lamation of martial law in Poland.
The White ministry has wisely suspended
the convocation of electors under the
Bouligin law. 1t is furthermore stated on
apparently trustworthy authority that an
amended electoral law will soon be pro-
mulgated and that the council of the en-
pire will become a semi-elective body, half
the members being chosen by landed, in
dustrial and academic bodies. These are
excellent measures but it Is to be feared
that they woefully fall short of what is
wanted to arrest the revolutionary move
ment in Russia.
Reports from the southeastern provinces
indicate the spread of agrarian disturb
ances. The government is trying to cope
with the difficulty by methods that have
already been shown to be useless, such as
the proclamation of martial law and the
dispatch of generals and admirals who
have displayed signal incapacity in their
profession to persuade the mujiks to alb
stain from violence.
These facts, coupled with the deplorable
development of the Polish crisis, engender
a feeling akin to despair. The belief is
growing that Count Witte will soon give
place to Gen. Trepoff and that the country

There is only one ray of hope. 1t lies in
the possible assent of the car to the i'm
mediate conVocatio of congress of Zemst-
vos, doumas and unions to act as an ad-
visory board to the present bureaucratic
ministry which Is obviously quite out of
touch with the nation.

How to Plant Lily Bulbs.


The key to lily culture is the fact that
all the Japanese species and many others
form roots above the bulb as well below
Above the bulb these roots are sent out lat
orally from the stem; this explains why
lilies suffer much IN the summer from
drought, because these roots are no near
the surface that they are constantly affect
ed by the drying of the soil.
The ideal thing would be to plant lilies
four inches deep at first, and after the
stems six inches above the ground put
on two-inch mulch of fine leaf mould. If
you cannot provide such a mulch. set the
lilies six inches deep, but be sure the soil
is very fine and mellow.
These bulbs demand plentiful water and
perfect drainage. If you are not sure the
water will drain away rapidly, dig the hole
eight inches deep and put in three-inch
layer Of sand and broken bricks at the bot
tom for drainage. Always put in a half
inch layer Of sand both above and below
the lily bulbs.

So far existing records show, the oldest

B. c. Pisistratus is said to have founded

is no clear evidence to that effect. Accord
ing to Strabo, Aristotle was the first known
collector Of library, and bequeathed it to
