BEST HATED MAN IN RUSSIA
Recently Assassinated Member Of ths
~ Czar's Family Is Thus ~'
Spoken OF. ~

"The violent death Of Grand Duke
Sergius," said an English traveller at
the Waldorf, who, reports the New York
Tribune, had recently arrived from Rus
sia, was the best blow that has been
struck for the rights of the Russian
masses. I simply reflect the opinion OF
the people of observation and independ-
ent thought in Moscow, who were famil-
lar with the arrogant manners, repre-
hensible habits and baneful influence
of the grand duke over the emperor.
He was the best hated man in Russia.
He was really responsible, as governor
general, for the death of 5000 persons
who were crushed at the coronation
ceremonial on Hodinsky Plain in 1896,
and to stifle the public clamor it was
necessary to shift the blame to other
than imperial shoulders; the chief Of
police was accordingly made vicarious
sacrifice.
"He was banished, for consideration
said to have been equivalent of $500, 900,
without petition or the right of return.
Nevertheless, when the popular atten-
ton had been diverted he did return,
and was made governor general of one
of the provinces. In the military
maneuvers couple Of years ago south
of Moscow, Sergius and Kuropatk1n
were pitted against each other as the
commanders of the contending armies.
The sudden appearance of Sergius in
Moscow before the end of the maneuvers
was commented on. and the explanation
came later that Gen. Kuropatkin had
inconsiderately taken Sergius prisoner
and seriously ruf1led the grand ducal
pride.'

A MOST OBLlGlNG MAN.
Against Great Odds He Held Open
, & 4 the Storm Doors for an Un-
grateful World.

Bulky packages under each arm
caused him an awkward struggle
against the strong resistance of the
stout pneumatic springs on the storm
doors. The scene was at the entrance
to q crowded Office building uptown,
relates the New York Sun.
He was an aged man, slightly built
round and round with huge muft1er
and his feet were encased in enormous
arctirs, although the weather was not
bad.E
With his clumsy burden he succeed
ed III pushing out just as young
woman wished to pass in. He stood
aside with his shoulder against the
edge. pf hesthreatening door ia order
I to save her sas she went through.
Before hel.could step away another
young woman sailed by and he held
the door for her also.
Suddenly there followed a long
string of people led by stout man,
another girl and messenger boy.
Patiently the aged man with the en-
cumbering bundles clung to the door,
so that no person would be struck.
Nobody in sight gave him nod OF
thanks or acknowledged his kindness
in any way, and nobody offered to re-
lieve him.
When last seen he was still holding
the door while desperately trying to
prevent his bundles from falling.
Maybe he is there yet.

EXECUTE IN GAY FASHION.
Chinese Kill Captured Men with Fan

Stroke Of Executioner's Sword.

Newchwang.-With Japanese flags
flying, a band of Chinese bandits be-
headed tw0syoung Russians who were
alleged to be spies at Sinmintin. The
first one executed was evidently an Off,
Ger, but he was wearing Chinese over
coat. He knelt without murmur, While
his companion watched the death
stroke.
The second captive was clothed IN
Chinese clothing throughout. He
whimpered for moment, but re-
gained his nerve and struggled fiercely.
He was thrown and killed while long
trumpets fanfared. The chief OF the
bandits was a mild-mannered old man.

the executions unmoved. "They are
spies," he said, "and we should Kill
them. Besides, it is difficult to trans
port them"
One night the bandits surprised
small body of Russian scouts and killed
%. besides capturing the two that were
beheaded.
The whole band, consisting Of 200 cav
airy and 100 infantry, formed great
circle on the outskirts Of Sinmintln'
The bronzed and storm-featured Chi
nese dismounted and held their gayly
trapped and shaggy ponies. The men
were armed to the teeth with long rifles
and Mauser pistols. The infantry was
mostly turbaned, but many wore Rus'
sian caps.
The Russian captives were brought
to the center of the circle with a -four
ish of trumpets. They were stripped
and their arms bound together behind
their bodies. They were then turned
over to a six-foot executioner, who smil-
ingly drew his red-sheathed sword,
afterward wiping the blade on the cloth

When the executions were finished
the corpses were left lying on the sun
lit road. Bugles were sounded and the
bandit cavalry swung into their sad
dies. while the infantry fell into line and
departed from the scene of execution.

PRODUCES A new FLOWER.
The Head Gardener at Chicago Park
Crosses Cinerarias-Experiment
Results in Larger Blooms.

Chicago.-By crossing the stellata
and hybrida varieties of cineraria,
Alois Frey, head gardener at Lincoln
park, has succeeded in producing an
entirely new variety Of the beautiful
flower which combines the large plant
of the one with the large bloom of the
other.
Scores of the new flowers are now on
exhibition in the Lincoln park con-
servatory and more will be placed
there soon.
The remarkable feature of the pro-
duction of the new flowers is that they
were produced within year after the
varieties were crossed. So encour-
aged is Mr.. Frey by the success Of his
experiment with the cineraria that he
will continue the crossing of flowers,
hoping next year to produce varieties
that far surpass in beauty and grace
the wonderful results of his first ex-
pertinent.
The cineraria stellata is large
plant which bears a small flower, less
than an inch in diameter. The cine
paria hybrida, on the other hand, Is
q small plant which bears q large
flower about an inch and q half in di-
ameter.
A year ago Mr.. Frey, who does great
deal Of work similar to that of Luther
Burbank, the celebrated florist Of
California, who has produced hum
dreds of new varieties, concluded that
by crossing the two varieties he might
succeed in producing new. flower
combining the strong qualities of both
and surprising either of them in
beauty.

BOY CONVERTS 10000.
HALF-BREED ARoUsEs WORLD
BY WORK IN ENGLAND.
In Tour of Great Britain He Preached
to 100000 Persons - Writes
Autobiography Remembers
from Ninth Month Of Birth.

New York.-Lonnie Lawrence Dennis,
the l1-year-old boy evangelist who for
three months has been touring England.
Scotland and Wales, where he held sue
cessful revivals, has returned to this
city.
The boy is, Tor his years., a prodigy as
a preacher, and all who have ATTENDED
his meetings are amazed at his wonder
full flow of language.
During the lads tour of Great Britain
he preached to probably 4,00O, 900 per-
sons. His converts numbered 10000.
His daily audiences in London, the boy
said, averaged 1000.
In personal appearance the boy shows
his parentage-his mother is negress
with a strain of Indian blood, while his
father is half white and half Indian.
When he speaks it is with the deliber-
ateness of age, and he at times empha-
sizes his words with vigorous shakes OF
his head. With the lad was his mother.
Speaking of the English revivals, he
said:
s'The reason the Welsh revival Is
looked up as so remarkable is due to the
fact that a revival In Wales is q very
rare occurrence. TO an American evan
gelist it would not seen unusual, for
have seen many revivals in this coun-
try which had a wider sweep and were
more effective in their results"
Young Dennis has written book, an
autobiography. In the book he says that
his memory dates from the ninth month
after his birth, and that he can recall
many things that happened to him when
he was but babe in arms. OF his fam
lily he says:
my fathers ancestors were French
and Indian; my mothers African and

Sharp Swords for Army.

The officers and cavalrymen Of the
American army are to have sharpened
swords hereafter If they want them.
Heretofore the accepted type of mill
tary sword has been rather blunt, and
in fact a considerable element in the
army maintained that the spirit OF the
rules of modern warfare was opposed
to a keen-edged sword. But modern
practice is the other way, and the Jap
anese in particular sharpen their ter
rible cutting swords to keen edge.

own experience as an officer in the army,

SEES BENEFIT IN SPORTS.
Prof. Small Discusses Prize Fighter
and Gambler as Elements in Ad-
vancement Of Religion.

Chicago.-The prize fighter and the
gambler as elements in the betterment
Of society and the advancement OF re-
ligion were introduced for the first time
to the public. by Prof. Albion ". Small,
of the University or Chicago, in a talk
to the junior colleges of that institution.
Despite the fact that legislatures OF
many states have placed restrictions
upon both the individuals cited, Prof.
Small maintained that both might be
misunderstood and 'underrated. Each
may have his code of ethics, and 1t is
not uncertain that that code is any the
less high than the standard of those who
disagree with them.
Discussing the possibility Of q high
standard of ethics and religion, Prof.
Small said: II can imagine such thing
as a religious prize fighter. Suppose,
for instance, that some time Chicago
should become the home of weakness
and idleness. Then imagine a sturdy
farmer boy, fresh from the country,
where he has learned to spar. He sees
the condition of the men about him and
opens a sparrins echool. He says: I'll
challenge them and teach them and
arouse their athletic spirit. Such a
prize fighter, l believe would deserve as
much credit for the good he would do
his fellow men as the widow who gave
her mite"
Gamblers also have their moral code,
he said. which might, taking certain
factors into consideration, be compared
to those of saint without disparage-
