HORSE GUARDS PARADE.
Annual Event Was Chiefly Noticeable
by Absence of lnonerial Family.

st. Petersburg, April 9.-The annual
parade Of the Horse Guards, always
one Of the specta cular military cere-
moies as we'll as social functions Of
the year, was chiefly notable this time
by the absence of Emperor Nicholas
and the imperial family. The Horse.
Guards is the emperor's own regiment
and naver brofre has he failed to at
tend its annual parade. With the en-
press, the dowager empress and the
entire court. the emperor remained at
Tsarskoe-Selo. The only Grand dukes
who Vtnturod out Of their palaces were

Vladimir. commander of the military
district. was not present. his eNn'ana-
ton being he was detained ct his PAL
ace on account of sickness. Danger
to the imperial family was regarded
as especially great, as it happened
that this was the festival of the Inn
maculate Conception. one Of the strict
est religious holidays. All business
was suspended. The entire population
was in the streets and fear of an I'M

of tcrrOristS induced extra precautions
Mounted gendarrnes were stationed at
bridges and in the streets leading to
the barracks Of the regiment on Horse
Guards boulevard to keep back the
rougher element and ordinary spec

The parade. instead of occurring in
the usual open space before the bar
racks, took place within The riding

resentatiVCS and members of society
being present. After trooping colors
the regiment marched to the Church
Of the Ascension adjoining Che bar
racks, where religious services were
held. The area around the church was
filled with solid phalanXes Of cuiras-
siers and chevalier guards, whe later
greeted Grand Duke Nicholas as he
emerged from the portal with ~hur-
1ahs,' always given to members Of
the imperial family. The public had
only a glimpse of the representative of
the ruling dynasty and no evhoing

basque.
Sleeves have reversed the order of
arrangement. The puff has mounted
from wrist to shoulder, all fullness
coming once more from the armhole.
This fullncss in some instances is so
great that whalebone epaulets are used
to support the fullness. Elbow sleeves
are used for all except tailor made and
morning gowns.
The gown in the picture is Of chine
silk of pale mode color, Powered over
with thistles. The skirt is gathered
three times down it's length and falls
full at the feet in deep ruft1e. The at
tractive little coat is laid in folds about
the figure and shirrs across the shout
ders, forming a ruffle over the tucked
sleeves. About the neck and down the
front is a trimming of embroidery mo-
tits edged with lace. These are mount
ed over pale green velvet, which also
forms the girdle and cuff, both of
which are fastened with large jade

FIXING RAILROAD RATES.

Making railroad rates is like play
ing a game of checkers or chess. Com
nunities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every pos
sible move is studied for its effect
on the general result by skilled traf-
fic managers. A false move in the
making of freight rates may mean the
ruin of a city, OF a great manufacture
ing interest, OF an agricultural com
munity. Railroads strive to build up
ali these so that each may have an
equal chance in the sharp competi-
ton of business. So sensitive TO this
rivalry are the railroads that in order
to build up business along their lines
they frequently allow the shipper 10
practically dictate rates. Rate max
ing has been a matter of development;
of mutual concessions for mutual
benefit. That is why the railroads OF
the United States have voluntarily
made freight rates so much lower in
this country than they are on the
government-owned and operated rail
ways of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transporta.
ton rates in the world.

old, was rescued at the same time by
his father and VI. d. Burke, who be-
came alarmed at the absence of the
boys. who had not been seen since 10
o'clock when they went 10 play in the
pit. The Busheree boy had been dead
a couple of hours. His body was bent
over under three feet of sand. The
Lindsey boy was just breathing. His
body was blue as a result of the stop
ping of the blood circulation. He was
in an upright position, the sand being
Is inches over his head. His escape
is thought to be due to a small hole
somewhere, through which air was adj.
mitted The accident is the result of
the caving in of huge pile of sand
from the bank, in which the boys had
dug hole with shovels for a play

1t will be impossible for this legis-

money to be raised by taxation during
the next two years to the figure of two
years ago, even though the most siren
uous efforts have been made to pre-
vent anything from going through in
the way of new institution. The
house ways and means committee,
which has done the most active work
with the AK, has given up any hope OF
holding down the appropriations to the
level OF 1908, but 1t is announced that
the increase will not be more than
100000. The increase, according to
Chairman Ward, will be between $780,
900 and 100000, depending somewhat
upon the action of the senate. The to-
tai for 1903 was about $S,000,000. He
points to the fact that the expense of
maintaining our asylums for the in
sane alone has increased by 100000.
In fact, when the natural increase of
expense in all institutions is taken into
consideration the record will really
amount to a reduction. Ward expects
that some economy may result from
the bill of the state board of correc-
lions and charities, in fixing the
amount to be paid by the state for
the care of each inmate, shall meet
with the state board of auditors, and
that the governor shall have the same
right to veto their acts, as he now
possesses in the matter of measures
enacted by the legislature. At present
these boards fix the amount TO be
paid by the state without any interior
ence from other state officials.

Riding in Agony.

After suffering untold agony on the
rods under freight car for over an
hour, William Sherer was dragged
from under the train when it stopped
at the Michigan Central station in
Kalamazoo Saturday afternoon. He
tainted at once and was taken to BoT-
CESS hospital, where it was found that
he was suffering from a badly mangled
right leg. Sherer was thrown out of
employment in Chicago by the big
strike there, and started for Flint,
where he had been promised a job.
Having no money, he found a berth
on the trucks of a freight car. Shortly
after the train pulled out of Niles his
leg struck something in the roadbed
and was thrown into the gearing of
the truck and mangled. 1t was fifty
miles, or over an hour and a half, be-
fore the next stop of the train, and all
that time Sherer suffered awful
agony. He was unable to shift his leg
into a less uncomfortable position for
fear of falling from his perch, and he
was even unable to take hold of it in
order to stop the flow of blood.

"all created beings met together to
decide upon their respective order

until the ostrich. pleading its inability
to fly, disowned the birds and claimed
to take rank with the mammals.
These, however, would have moth
ing to say to creature clothed not

to its race. But the ostrich was equal
to the occasion and declared that being
neither mammal or bird 1t must be an
angel.
AT this all the other animals indig-
nantly rushed upon the ostrich and
drove 1t before them into the desert
where it has lived in solitude ever
since, with no one to contradict it."
