AN ORDER MIsTIMED.

A celebrated Continental specialist to
whom time was literally money and
who was possessed of a fiery temper
make it rule that all patients should
undress before entering; his consulting
room so as not to waste any of his
valuable time One day a meek-look-
ing little man entered with all his
clothes on. What do you mean by
coming in like that?" said the doctor,
in rage. Go and strip at once!'
But T. faltered the man.
81 tell you I've no time to waste"
yelled the doctor, and the poor man
left the room in haste. When his turn
came he re-entered the room. Now,
them said the doctor, that's better.
What can I do for you?''

! these appeals. He would admit no one
to membership in the sun order VINO
was not willing to adhere TO all the
rules and regulations which ne had
laid down for its guidance ana winch
he faithfully observed himself. Inc
two men who joined him on these terms
were Marx Lutzow, musician, VINO
conducted an orchestra that pore MS
name in Berlin, and Heinrich EuKens,
a native of Heligoland, who had settled
in the same city. They consigned thelr
clothing to the sea on landing on ka-
bakon. and settled down to a course OF
sun-worship and fruit diet.
But the sudden change to an equa-
torial climate, exposed to the fierce
heat of the sun all day and sleeping on
the sand at night with no bodily
nourishment but cocoanuts soon re-
duced Eukens to a condition of extreme
physical weakness. In that state ne
was smitten with malaria. In accord
ance with the rules of the order he
took no remedies, but lay in the direct
rays of the sun and tasted for three
days. On the fourth day he succumb-
ed to the hunger cure"
But his fate did not weaken the faith
of the two other men. Scept1cs might

they were on the right track and that
through them the human race would
ultimately be regenerated- Stark naked
and with their skins tanned to the
color of leather they wandered about
the island and seemed quite happy and
coutented with their primitive life and
frugal fare The natives regarded them
with superstitious reverence, and set
tiers who visited them occasionally
looked upon them as harmless lunatics.
At the beginning of this year Lutzow
was carried out to sea in the Methodist
mission cutter, which had drifted away
owing to adverse currents, and when
the boat was recovered some consider
able time afterward it contained the
corpse of the deluded musician. His
loss was a sad blow to Englehardt, but
he still refused to leave his beloved
sun grove, and still continued to con-
form strictly tc the rules which he
had drawn up for the sect. He sub
sisted entirely on cocoanutS. At last
he was stricken with a severe illness.
Learning of his condition the German
authorities sent their medical launch
to the island, and despite his protests
insisted on conveying him to the hospi-
tai At Englehardt's request he was
placed in such position on the little
craft that he could gaze upon the is
land as it receded in the distance. He
spoke no word to any one, and by signs
rejected the nourishment that was Of
fered him. When at length the island
vanished from his sight he closed his
eyes in death.

slip out and do little shopping. In

all alike. But she was sure of her own

ALL EYES ON MOSCOW.
Where Fate of Whites Government Is
Being Decided.

st, Petersburg. Nov. 22.-All eyes con-
tinue to be riveted on Moscow where
the struggle in the zemstvO congress on
the question of supporting Premier
Witte is continuing. Some of the most
powerful men in the congress are .urg-
ing the necessity for rallying the mod
crate sentiment in support of the gov
ernment but the irreconciable radical
element appears to make a split inevi-
table. Should a resolution to support
the premier be carried it seems almost
certain that it will be coupled with
conditions. The idea of a constituent
assembly seems to have been abandon
ed but not the demand for universal
suffrage to which the premier is likely
to yield.
The only direct proposition thus far
before the congress is Prince Dolgo-
roukOmS plea for support of the gov
ernment so long as it follows the prin-
cipleS of a constitutional regime. But
the section under the leadership of H.
Roberti insists that portfolios be given
to men known to be in sympathy with
the question of freedom, universal suf-
frage and the immediate trial and pun
ishment of all officials guilty of con-
nection with the recent Eassacres.
Prince Eugene TrOubetskoy's follow
ers viii be content with an advisory
council for the cabinet
Dmitri ShipOf and NJ Guichkoff who
may be regarded as Count Whites rep
resentatives in congress are watching
the trend of sentiment, but have not
yet shown their hands. The pr0longa-
ton of the struggle, now in its fourth
day is regarded as being favorable to
the government since with the excep-
tion of a few extremists who declare
that no alliance with the present gov
ernment is possible practically all the
leaders of every shade of opinion have
expressed the realization that only CO.
operation with the government could
prevent a reign. of terror and anarchy.
The Russ declares that the liberals
who are being blamed for not support
ting the government are totally mis-
understood abroad where Count
Witte is regarded as the saviour of
Russia from the monarchy and reac-
ton. The only decree obtains in three
weeks from Count Witte the Russ
AYERS, is liberty of the press which was
wrested from him and was not volun-
tarily granted.
Continuing the Russ says:
Europe and America tell US that
we are threatened with a Dictatorship.
Should dictatorship be announced to-
day all Russia would engage in a
strike of such a character tomorrow
that only Tsarko-Seloe would remain
true to the dynasty. The foreign coun-
tries which advise reasonableness will
not lend US cent, knowing that the
future government of Russia would
not recognize loans made to dictatOrs
who borrow but never pay. The for

TO OPEN MONDAY.
The Grand Opera House VIII Soon
Be Used.

The city council committee on public
buildings has just about decided to let
the Grand open on Monday evening
without waiting for he asbestos cur
tain and the proscenium wall to meet
the demands of the committee.
Mr.. Roy Crawford told Fire Marshal
Wimarth this noon that he intended to
open the Grand on Monday. that he ex-
pected ultimately to install an asbestos
curtain and rebuild the proscenium wall
but that too short a time would elapse
between now and Monday for him to
have these two features arranged for.
Fire Marshal WilmaTth stated to Mr.
Crawford that he was under instruc-
tions from the council not to permit
the opening of the Grand until these
conditions had been complied with. Mr..
Crawford stated that he would see
Councilman Nipps, chairman of the
council committee on public buildings.
and Mayor Davis. Mr.. Nipps said this
afternoon: Il have asked. Mr.. Crawford
to prepare a statement Of his wishes and
purposes and we viii take these up with
the committee"
Mayor Davis said. It see no reason
why we should not permit the Grand to
open. The council can always step an
and close the Grand If we see that they
don't intend to do what they prom
ise."
