incident in a certain novel and
) play, :
The bet was whether a menu
) bers double could enter and sit :
in the house of commons without

BARRIERS Sunday Closing.

A st. Louis criminal court judge has
decided that 1.-The closing of barber
shops on Sunday, the day of all days
on which the average man desires to
appear clean and well clad, would be
unreasonable, uncalled for, serving no
good purpose or end, and would be, as
a matter of fact, detrimental to the
general public morals" The Colorado
theory is that the barber has the same
right to his uay of rest as any other
self respecting American citizen, and
having performed valuable moral as
well as physical service to the COM
munity on six days of the week, he
has, on the seventh, some rights that
the public ought to be compelled to
respect.-Pueblo Chieftain.

Famous Trainer of Monkeys.

Jacob Cook, for thirty years an at
tendant in Central Park. New York
City, whose death from heat prostra-
tion has just occurred, was one Of
the best known trainers of monkeys in
the world.
He entered the park service as la
borer but it was not long before he be-
came attached to the menagerie and
finally became identified exclusively
with the monkey house. He showed
the greatest affection for his pets
there and nursed many through long
illnesses.
The trainers greatest triumphs
were achieved in the education of
Mister Crowley" and "Kittie Crow
ley" chimpanzees which were world
renowned attractions and did innu-
merable tricks.
Cook was noted among other things
for his peculiar idea of an enjoyable
vacation. 1t was to visit graveyards
and copy inscriptions from tomb
stones. Year after year, accompanied
by his wife, he made pilgrimages to
the cemeteries, not only of New York
and the suburbs, but far into New
England, and invariably returned with
an interesting collection of epitaphs.

CHAPTER III.
The Nihilist Propaganda.

Nihilism, at the time of which we
write, was manifesting itself in many
ways and was sufficiently aggressive
to cause his excellency, the minister
of police. no small degree of anxiety.
In all revolutionary movements there
are to be found two classes, the ex-
tremists and the moderates. The rev.
olutionary party of Russia at this
time was perhaps as striking an ex-
ample of divided councils as could
have been found in history.
Among the large class Of educated
and intelligent Russians who believed
that the time had come for the sub
stitution of constitutional govern
ment instead of an autocratic and
despotic monarchy, the views of the
extremists found little favor. Most
of the ruling spirits of the party of
the people were too well informed not
to perceive that the assassination Of
any one manor of dozens of men,
for that matter-never accomplished
the regeneration of a people. Those
who held this view were no common
conspirators. Many of them held po-
sitions of power and influence.
The end they sought, they were
convinced. could best be obtained by
a propaganda of education-using the
word in its best and truest sense.
They were au courant with the devel-
opment of political economy in most
of the countries of the world. and
their friends kept them we'll supplied
with such publications as were essen
tial to keep them in touch with the
advanced thinkers of the day. The
rigid censorship prevailing in Russia
at the time made 1t somewhat difficult
on occasions for the leaders of the
movement to obtain interdicted litera-
ture; but in spite of all the vigilance

TeIsarephx 81 TraIne.

Wonders never cease and science
produces most of the wonders nova
days. Wireless telegraphy has been
an accomplished fact for about five
years, 30 the public has become rather
familiar with it, at least by hearsay,
but now comes an entirely new appli-
cation Of it which will probably revolu-
tionize the method of controlling rail-
Way trains as completely as the rail-
way itself revolutiOnized transportation
methods. By means Of wireless teleg-
raphy 1t is now possible for an engi-
neer to be warned of the approach OF
another train on the same track. The
whole process is automatic. The trans
mitting instrument on one train sends
a signal which Is recorded in the cab
Of the other by means of a bell and
colored lights, showing the engineer at
a glance approximately how far away
the first train is, and whether it Is COM
ing from in front or behind.
With such a system working effect
ually the last vestige Of danger OF col
l,sions would be removed. There
would be no more frightful smashups
which occur SO frequently through the
misreading of orders. Every engineer
would know at all times whether he
had a clear track ahead of him, and
thus one of the greatest elements of
danger in railroading would be re-
moved.
The possibilities Of wireless teleg-
raphy are only beginning to be real
ized, and 1t is quite certain that in a
few years the invention will take its
place as one of the most useful prod
ucts Of electrical science-Colorado

Remarkable Game of Chess.

A game of chess under extraordi.
nary conditions was played a day or
two ago at fashionable London club
by some ultra-smart men. Sixty-fuur
squares were chalked out upon a
billiard table. and the pieces were
represented by bottles containing
wines of various qualities. Cham
payne was the king. claret the queen.
Burgundy the bishops. port the cas-
ties, Madeira the knights, while pint
TASKS of common Hungarian vintages
stood for the humble but effective
pawns. The most remarkable Of the
rules laid down for observance was
that which rendered it obligatory
upon every player making a move to
empty his piece at draught. Faith
full compliance with this ordinance,
however. was found upon experiment
to interfere somewhat prematurely
with the progress of the game. for
by the time the opening moves had
been executed upon strictly Bacchaua-
liam principles the players were unser
the table.

SuNT EN- us-SOUtInucOs
Beginning with a glass of vodka,
which evidently sharpened his appe-
tite, Radaloff enjoyed with apparent
zest the viands set before him, and
having lighted a cigar paid his bill
and withdrew.
The restaurant he had Just quilted
was only an occasional resort, but a
visit there was necessary because
Radaloff had need to interview this
waiter. The fact is that Radaloff and
the waiter both served the same mas
ter. and drew their income from the
same source, the secret service fund
Of the imperial police. There was one
customer Of this restaurant regarding
whom 1t was essential to ascertain
certain facts. 1t was this particular
individual to whom the obliging and
observant waiter referred in his brief
conversation with Michael Radaloff.
Radaloff after leaving the restau-
rant hailed a second-class drosky. A
drive Of some twenty minutes suf-
feed to bring him to another point In
his allotted pilgrimage. This time the
drosky was driven up to the door, the
driver paid and dismissed, and Rada-
loft entered with the confident step
of visitor on familiar ground. The
place was a booksellers shop. Indi-
eating a fine edition Of Tennyson
which was conspicuously displayed,
Radaloff signified desire to examine
it more closely. With polite bow
the proprietor. taking the work,
begged his customer to examine 1t at
his leisure, at the same time leading
the way to private Office in the rear
Of the store. We will leave Monsieur
Radaloff to the perusal Of England's
famous poet-laureate. 1t would be
useless to await his exit from the
private office. AS matter of fact,
when he did leave the establishment
1t was by the door Of house round
the corner in another street, there be-
ing secret means OF communication
between the two. And when he did
appear no one would have recognized
in the scholarly-looking professor,
with the package of books under his
arm, the trusted and trained police
