TO ELABORATE REFORMS.

St. Petersburg, March 29.-Emperor Nicholas has instituted NJ. Maximov- itch, governor general of Warsaw, to elaborate the reforms necessary for the prosperity of Poland.
 In rescript to the governor gencr- al the emperor says: Since the radi- cal revival of civil life in the Vistula territory during the past forty years q series of needs has developed upon which the government is now bestow- ing especial solicitude. Enemies of the existing order are seeking to pro- yoke disturbances thus hindering the calm discussion of the reforms for which the country is ripe and at the same time some sections of the Polish population are putting forth exOrDitant claims concerning limits in the employ ment of the state language to which there must remain assured throughout any superfluous or unjust exclusion of local languages
 The emperior accordingly directs the governor general while lawfully and firmly suppressing artificially sup ported disturbances to proceed to the elaboration of the reforms found to be necessary for the prosperity of the ter ritory inseparable connected with the other parts of the Russian state."

GENERAL TsENG KIDNAPPED.

Victoria. B. C., March 29.-Mail ad- vices received by the steamer Empress of Japan say that. the Russians kid mapped General Tseng, Chinese gov ernor-general of Manchuria, when Mukden fell. Sixty Cossacks went to the Yamen when the occupation of Mukden was imminent and forced the governor to mount his sedan chair. He resisted and professed himself anxious to poison himself by swallowing opium, as he had not been permitted to leave his post by the Pekin government. The kidnapping of the governor was done in order that his seal might be used to induce Chinese to supply the Rus sians with provisions on their retreat. The governor was allowed to return some days later, but his seal was stolen.

SUPERIOR COURT,
H0lihan Divorce Case Heard Before Judge Case
 To-Day.

The contested divorce case of Fran. ceS against John H. Holihan was heard by Judge Case in the superior court to-day. The Holihans lived at one time on Burton street. Mrs Hoii- han now lives on Orchard street. The complaint in the case was quite lengthy and teemed with incidents of alleged cruelty Kennedy and Cassidy appeared for the petition and Rogers for the defense.
 According to the complaint five chil- dren were born to the HOlihans. In October, 1886, the first act of cruelty is alleged to have taken place. At that time the plaintiff was very sick for six weeks in bed. Her husband refused to have the room occupied by her heated or made comfortable in any way. He would leave home. mornings, and be absent all day. He refused to give the plaintiff any assistance what soever though well able to do so. owI- ing about $6,O00 of real estate. For a long time plaintiff was unable to gU about her housework without the aid of crutches or by pushing chair along in front of her.
 Last winter the Holihans lived on the WatertOwn road. and there one day he threw plaintiff on lounge and lbeat her, called her vile names, struck her with piece of heavy wood. be- cause she objected to his method of chastising one of the children. He sent two of the girls to work when they were not able. and he nailed up the places where the winters supply of provisions were held so that the plaintiff could not get at them. The girls who were sent to work had only thin sOled shoes, which the plaintin considered quite insufficient to meet the rigOrs of the long winter.
 Another paragraph in the complaint is to the effect that the defendant con- pelled the plaintiff to sleep in cold room all winter. refused to give her proper food and made her borrow from her neghbors and On her fathers eS- tate. Finally he threatened her with incarceration ill lunatic asylum If she resisted his orders, thus keeping her in state of constant alarm and dread of her life. The Llefonse is T general denial There was a previous suit but it was withdrawn upon tlis defcldant's promises to do better by plaintiff.
 \ number of witnesses testified to alleged acts of cruelty on the part of the defendant. 4 Mrs Levin said he turned one of his daughters out of doors during q blizzard. HOlihan de- layed court this afternoon half an hour and was rcbuked by the judge for the delay. He testified that his property on Burton street is worth only S3.6oO and that besides his personal debts the property is heavily encumbered. As scssOrs Beecher and Jenks testified also that the property was worth only s. 6OO.

AN AUTUMN NIGHT SCENE.
Vivid Word Picture Of Clear Night
in the POcono Mountains

Wonderfully clear and distinct the
myriad stars appeared. South of the
zenith a planet blazed. Like a broad
band overhead stretched the milky
way with familiar consultations on
each side. Almost in the center was
Casseopia's chair. Near by cleaned
Andromeda and the stars Of Perseus.
Just above the northern horizon lay
the big dipper, and in the east Aide
baran was rising. with the stars In
the belt Of Orion twinkling near. A
faint streak which lasted but an in
slant showed where a meteor's career
had been burned to dust. There was
no moon to dim the light Of the lesser
stars, and everywhere around the
brighter ones they crowded, leaving
no spot of this rare autumn sky with
out its sparkling points of light.
Out OF a dusty corner of memory
came a thought which youthful fancy
had conceived; that the stars were tiny
holes in heaven, used by the angels to
peep through to see If people were
good or bad, and the light Of the stars
was the glory of the great white
throne shining through the peepholes
To senses STEPPED in the quiet of
this brooding scene came like a shock
the realization that In the north, close
to the summit of dimly outlined
mountain spur, faint phosphorescent
light was glowing in the sky. A long
pale finger crept silently upward to-
ward the zenith. Then another and
another, until, its weird beauty thrill
ing the heart, there famed in the
northern heavens the mysterious lum-
lnous arch Of the magnetic pole, the
FIRST aurora borealis of the autumn and

Struggling with the Lanauase

A story Is told of q German teacher
at an American girls college who was
not thoroughly acquainted with the
English language and the college slang
had not helped her in solving the pug
zle. She had heard the girls talk about
going off on larks. Returning one day
from a picnic she said to some of the
girls, "Oh, have been on such a ca
nary" She startled her class one day
by complaining against some Of the
cold days Of September, saying: why,
it was so cold one day had to stay in
my room all the morning and sit with
my feet over the transom trying to
keep warm"

Heroisna in Animals.

Animals are capable Of what we
should call heroism In man. In one
field was a donkey, in another a horse.
Through the first went a mastin and
made for the ass, seized him by the
throat, pulled him down, and that SO
suddenly that the donkey looked like
ly to be killed. The horse in the next
field leaped the hedge dividing the two
pastures, collared the dog with his
teeth, swung him on the fall-ball
teeth, swung him and like a baseball
player caught him on the fall-with
his heels. The mastiff was whisked
over the hedge which the horse had
just crossed, and the donkey was left
in peace to recover from his wounds.

patented contain novelties more theo-

ideas are. generally good, but when it
comes to putting them in use it Is
often impossible to do so. A delivery
chute, which is exceedingly novel in
its features, is shown in the illustra-
ton, and it is a device that could read

usual method being to allow the barrel

man is called upon to enter a build
ing full Of dense smoke, to rescue
some person who has already been
overcome, and the wonder Is that he
Is not supplied with some protection
for his own life. There does not seem
to be any reason why he should not,
for instance, wear an apparatus like
the one shown in the illustration. He
could then with absolute safety to
himself enter any burning building,
with an added chance of saving any
lives that might be endangered. The
upper portion is made in the form Of
a hood or mask Of alright and FIRE
proof fabric, to be placed over the
head of the wearer, with glass clos
ures for openings for the eyes. There
is also cap opposite the mouth. which
closes against air from without, but
opens for the discharge Of exhaled air
which has been breathed. Reservoirs
which contain compressed air or oxy-
gen for sustaining life are attached
to the back Of the wearer by straps,
and connected by tube to the back of
the hood, with valves for regulating
the supply. The compressed air can
thus be readily supplied from the res
ervoirs to the interior of the hood, to
be breathed by the wearer. After en-
tering building filled with smoke a
fireman using this apparatus could re-
main for some time, while his hands
and arms would be free.

esk1mos REUNITED TO WORLD.
those of Grsenland's East Coast Again

"a
\ howe of Grsenland's East Coast Again
In Touch with Civilization.
The Eskimos of the east coast Of
E(IreenIand have been reunited to the
world, after having forgotten, perhaps
5for many years, the little they ever
knew Of it, says the Philadelphia Pub
slic Ledger. The Danish supply steam
ship Godthaab has returned to Copen-
hagen from a visit to Angmagsalik,
station established by the government
for the purpose of improving the con-
dition Of the Greenland natives and
developing trade with them. 1t is an
interesting enterprise, because Dem
marks dealings with aboriginals are
shumanizing and philanthropic, and the
material it had to deal with here was
in its natural condition.
AS far as is known, the natives Of
Greenland's east coast had never come
into contact with the white race until
twenty years ago, when they were dis
covered by Capt. Holm, a Danish ex-
plorer. It was six years later before
anything more than fragmentary infor-
nation about them was given out, and
then Denmark published a sumptuous
work In three volumes devoted to the
people and their habitat Probably no
other book 80 exhaustive and costly
has, ever been printed about handful
Of primitive people. They numbered
only 54S when they were discovered.

station is in thriving condition. It has
simply transformed the life of the ma

never knew before. The Danish gov
eminent buys their oils, furs, skins
and feathers. The station takes every
thing they have to sell in exchange for
the commodities they require.
A way has been found around the
glaciers jutting out into the sea which

west coast, and some Of them have set

They are pure-blood Eskimos, the
only unmixed natives in Greenland, ex-

their features are thinner and longer
than those Of other Eskimos, and they

tradition that their fathers came from

has accumulated pointing to the prob.

Of natives who reached northwest

Of our continent and then skirted the
north and east coasts of Greenland to
their present abode.
