Halle. the little German salt making
city. whose Inhabitants are supposed

which has been celebrated annually
Cor many centuries on that day the

the religious rites fellow a banquet

pose.
The fete originated in an incident
that took place so long ago that the
very date has been lost. A mill be-
longing 20 the commune was burned,
and the family Of the miller was saved
by the salt workers. When the mill
was rebuilt the cOmmBne voted to the
SAT- boilers in perpetuity an annual
cake OF 100 pounds, to be blessed, car

thus for genera tons when in13I6 there
was new fire in the city which de-
stroyed the city hall, but spared the
salt works and the dwellings. Then

1876 this order has been faithfully OBJ
served. The cut OF Nae tunic has varied

or execute not a cake walk, but a cake
dance, a grave function in which one
must neither speak nor smile. The
dance Is not complicated, but the music
is Of a special character, and this gives
the whole a peculiar distinction. In
the evening there is a dance OF gnyer
character at an inn. The waltz here
begins really at o'clock in the after
noon and is continued until dawn. The
red habits are put away at the end Of
the fete, not to be brought out again
for year. They descend from father
to son and are preserved with the ut

Persian noble to the car. Last
spring a Persian grandee, in close
touch with the shah. paid a visit to
ST. Petersburg, and was accorded an

to send the czar samples to see for
himself The car. thinking that this
meant a gift Of photographs or pic

were a present to the car from his
Persian visitor. Nicholas has re-

Terrible Story of His Crme-One of the Most Re-
markable Murder Confessions Ever Made.

old and feeble. The couple had sew

Old Otto, after the crime. attempt
ed to hide all evidences of his guilt.
He said that she had fallen down
stairs. causing the terrible bruises
on her head.
But in a few hours Chief of Po-
lice Kohler secured a confession
from him. This is the story the
old man told:
Yes, / killed my wife. She had
only a couple of months to live any
way, so / thought 1t would make no
difference Besides. the rent was due
the 18th and we were going to move.
1t would save trouble and expense
to have the old woman out Of the
way.
1.-The old woman had become a ter
rible burden to me- She was so help
less that she could not even dress
herself. The only work she could
do was little washing, and even
then l had to get the tubs ready
and help her to them. And then she
upbraided me for not working, and

She was old and helpless and could
