sToEssEL coLDLY WELCOMED
Generals Reception In st. Petersburg Il
No Sense an Ovation.

st. Petersburg, March Lieutenant
General Stoessel arrived in st. Peters
burg this morning from Moscow. Many
hundreds of people, especially women,
crowded on the platform. War Min
lister Sakharof and Admiral Zilotti, in
behalf Of the admiralty, welcomed Gen
eral Stoessel, who was loudly cheered
and presented with flowers. II,
? After receiving the personal congratu-
lations of friends, the general, looking
bronzed and in good health, passed thru
the cheering crowd to reception-room,
stopping now and then to shake hands
with admirers. Behind the general
came Mrs. Stoessel, leaning on the arm
even more bronzed than her husband
and smiled happily at the welcome he
received. It was remarked that tho
generals hair had turned quite white.
General Makes Speech.
| In the reception-room General Bog
danovitch welcomed General Stoessel.
Replying, General Stoessel said he had
disorders in Russia and since then he
had travelled in south Russia, had spok-
en- to the people, and had noticed their
tranquility of mind, especially their 10y
atty to the emperor. He was confident
that the people would remain loyal and
that Russia would issue victorious from
the present crisis.
The absence of military and naval
officers was very noticeable. Only a
few military men, and no naval officers
lexcepting Admiral Zilotti, were present.
A large force Of police surrounded
the railroad station while Prince
Viazemsky' residence was patrolled by
numerous detachments Of Cossacks and
life guards, apparently in expectation of
q hostile demonstration.
Altogether the general s welcome was
by no means in the nature of popular
demonstration and lacked genuine en-,
thusiasm. Two months ago all Russia
was singing the praises of the defender
Of Port Arthur, yet when he came home
comparatively few people assembled to
cheer him.

LOST NIeHTeoWN
Advertised For in an Elevator Showed
 Men To Be Liberal.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 Just how far a tenants rights to re- cover property are restricted by the laws of apartment-house propriety is the nice question which has precipitated war ir one of the most exclusive flats on the upper West Side.
 It all came about through the loss of some lingerie by a woman on one of the upper floors. On Wednesday night, when residents entered the elevator they were confronted by a note in feminine hand writing on delicately scented blue note paper. It ran as follows;
 will the lady. or person, who took by mistake a nightgown (with lace) from the line, kindly return the same to the elevator boy?'
 The notice created curiosity. but the elevator boy might have been a sable statue of silence. Frivolous men who rode up in that elevator. however, were inspired with a desire to help the lady. The blue-scented advertisement of her wrongs was shortly followed by dozen others.
 Why the elevator boy?" asked one mo- tice.
 Mine" announced another, "are pa jamas but they are at the service of any lady in distress.'
 NO lace effects" said third, but they are sufficiently roomy to be fitted to any figure"
 The elevator walls looked like a sub way station when the indignant janitor walked in yesterday morning. He was suffering from shock when he went up to consult the lady. She not only ad- mitted her guilt, but protested she was entirely justified.
 "It ain't decent" was the janitorial eomment advertising night gowns that way don't look wel'
 The lady was insistent on keeping up the notice. The ianitor grew impertlnent and she appealed to the owner of the building He inspected the elevator car and emerged bathed in bushes. Then he ordered the signs removed.

MoRlRUNp MAIN TOWN
Mattamiscontis, Once Thriving, Now
 With Population of 28.

Augusta, Me, February 1.-The story of the average backwoods town in Maine is very much like the history of a star as each begins its career in a nebulous condition, reaches a stage of heated acti- witty and finally burns itself out.
 This winter Representative Mullen of Bangor has introduced an act in the Maine legislature, permitting the town of Mat.amisconts, forty miles northeast from Bangor, to surrender it's town or ganisation and lapse back into planta- ton, so as to escape the suppor- of it's paupers and the payment of county and state taxes.
 Mattamiseontic was incorporated as town, being a slice taken from Rowland, on March 8. 1889. At that time the valua- ton of the own was $G0 coo and it's popu- lation was eis,hty-two. The residents had every prospect Of getting rich rapidly. The town grew and prospered.
 On March f. 1904 the entire population or Mattamiscontis was twenty-eigft, of WI -om eleven were voters, and every one in town was either a Sawyer or a Rob- erts There WIS one Sawyer and two Robertses on the board of assessors, two Sawyers and one Roberst were over seers of the poor, a Sawyer was collector of taxes and treasurer three Sawyers were serving as selectmen, a Roberts was superintendent of schools, Miss Maud Sawyer and Mi,a Agnes Roberts taught the two schools, a Sawyer was justice of the peace. a Roberts was under contract to furnish wood for the school houses. and a Sawyer broke out the snowy high ways and carried the children to and fire m school.
 Everybody was related to everybody else The entire community was no more than a family affair. There was no post office, no clergyman, no lawyer and no doctor in the whole town. The entire assets of the municipality were of an ap- praised valuation of 92S6 and a weed grown cemetery in which there had been no interment for six years.
 Under the law of Maine when person Is unable to support himself and becomes public charge while residing on a plan tation the cost of his maintenance falls upon the adjoining town which has been organized for the longest time Mat tamiscontis has four paupers who have been supported at a cost of S750 a year. B. becoming a rlantation the community car compel Rowland to care for them
 In addition to getting rid of this bill the plantation will have to pay 10 taxes except for common schools and repair ing tl.e highways. The change from a town to a plantation form of government will be a profitable investment for the Sa Iyers and Robertses who dwell in Nattamis .ontis.
