The engagement was largely an ex- pertinent to determine whether or not the patrons of the house would by their presence show that they appre- ciated the great expense to which the management is willing to go that the best attractions on the agents books may be obtained.

czAREWTcH,s REGIMENT.
Russian Troopers Who Have a Sin gular Distinguishing
 Feature.

When the baby czarevitch was few hours old he was gazetted to Pavlovsk regiment of the guard, one of the fines looking bodies of troops in Europe. Nc man can belong to this regiment un less his nose is decidedly turned up and the more retrousse 1t is the more desirable the result.
 As might be imagined, says the Bos. ton Herald, the regiment Is not marked by comeliness, but 1t is because Elm. peror Paul, whose nose had nostrils that caught the rain, conceived the idea that he would collect a company of soldiers and offices possessed of the same extraordinary style of feature that the Pavlovski regiment was so named, but his conservative descend. ants still pay him the honor of retain. ing his nosy regiment and recruiting it from the ugliest men in Russia.
 Another conservative observance in. stituted by Emperor paul Is compelling the Pavlovskis to blow their noses i'm. mediately before the appearance on the scene of the sovereign on the occasion of any inspection by him of the regi. ment. Baby Alexis. if he is as ob. serving as other kids, will be certain to comment on the proboscides of his guard. However. 1t won't hurt their feelings. That Is why they are there.

WORSE THAN BULLETS.
Assault of Six Hives of Bees Before Which the Soldier Boys Beat
 a Nasty Retreat.

When Sheridan decided to go in on :. Early at Cedar creek" said an oldsvet- eran, "my brigade advanced in the open over meadow. The enemy held the or chard and the dooryard surrounding a \ farmhouse, and we advanced straight | upon them. They found themselves out 1 numbered and fell back to stone wall, l and there they made desperate stand When we reached the house I simply noticed that it was an old fashioned place, and remember that peonies and hollyhocks and other old-time flowers
 were growing in the. yard.
 We had enough to do to hold our ground without gazing around, though some of us stopped long enough to get drink of water from the old oaken bucket. We fought 15 minutes, and were making ready to advance on the wall when suddenly felt a bullet sting
 me across the back. As my face was toward the enemy I naturally felt sur prised, and as looked around, expecting that force had got into our rear, saw

 "A minute later circus began. TheJe were six hives of tbees.unfer the
 trees, and all of them had been pierced
 by bullets. It was summer time, and all
 the insects were fighting mad in no time
 at all. Out they came at us as if it was
 swarming time, and within two minutes

 tually stampeded. The bees gave us q

 have done, and we went swirling round

 minutes. was stung four times, and
 almost every one else got it as bad.
 "0f a sudden, and without any orders being given, we charged the wall and the
 enemy. If they were looking for 1t, the
 way we came, like great mob going up
 or, down the street, knocked them out.
 By the time we reached the wall it had no defenders. but we didn't get rid of the last bee till some time after the victory. Among the prisoners captured

 what allied him, he replied:

SHOOTS RATS FOR A LIVING.

There is a rat catcher who visits Baltimore periodically to rid hotels, among other places. of the rodent pests. Among the hotels he has two regular customers, and his advent is always the signal for the pleasures of tile chase Tn a small way. He is about due now.
 This rat catcher is not piper of Pan. He has no method of charming rats, but goes after them just as any hunter in the big woods would stalk his game. He does not sit down in front of rat hole and tease the To- dents forth with the sweet strains on a tin flute. Instead he carries a small air rife, and it does the work. He makes straight for the basement. kitchen, baggage room and open plumbing, where rat holes will be found if they are anywhere. Having located his rat hole, which he seems to accomplish almost by instinct, he listens at the opening until his keen ear detects scratching or a squeak. He unerringly locates his quarry by this sound, inserts his rife at just-the right angle and fires. If he misses but what's the use-he doesn't. He hits his man every time. Then, with a long. hooked wire, he probes into the hole and draws his victim out Now and then he strikes a nest of young. In such cases 1t is usually an easy mat ter 10 hook nest md all and drag the pests from their palatial residence. His Is a peculiar calling, but has its uses. And it's better than killing rats with poison and having them die within the walls.-Baltlmore News.

AN OLD WAR LETTER.
Lincoln's Message to Gen. Grant Sent Just Before the Campaign Which
 Resulted in Lees Surrender.

Framed upon the wall in the back par Tor of Abraham Lincoln's old home, as reproduced at the Portland (Ore.) fair, is this brief letter in the handwriting of the great emancipator:
 City Point. April [. Il a. m., Iss5.-Lieut. Gen. Grant: Gen. Sheridan says: ''if the thing is pressed think that Lee will sur render. Let the thing be pressed.
 A. LINCOLN.
 The thing was pressed. One week later President Lincoln fell by the hand of an assassin, but in the meantime Gen. Lee had surrendered, and the civil war was practically at an end. The laconic erder from the constitutional command er-in-chief of the armies to the active eommander-in-chief in the field is an suto-biographical chapter that reflects most vividly the character of the first martyr president. Many man in Lin eoln's place" remarked an old soldier vho read the letter in the Illinois build

 NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Preliminsry steps have been taken in behalf of poli- cy holders of the Mutual Life Insur- ance company in Colorado to force the executive officers and trustees of that company to make restitution of the S92. 800 admittedly contributed to Re publican campaign funds.
 Thomas J.

Tribute of Old Soldier.

During the progress of the funeral train bearing Gen. Sherman's remains to St. Louis after his death many pa thetic episodes occurred to show the love and reverence in which the great war hero was held. The most touch ing incident occurred in the night. At about three o'clock in the morning the train was rolling through the open country. As it passed a small, isolated farmhouse, the door opened, and an old man, dressed in full uniform and hold ing rusty musket at present arms, " appeared in the doorway. Alone, miles from any ,neighbors, he stood there, bareheaded, until the train had passed. Thus an old soldier paid a last tribute to his general.-Lippincott's.

MUTINEERS IN IRONS
Ship Berwind's Crew Murdered
 Captain and Officers.
BODIES IN SEA; ONE VICTIM FOUND
Vessel Sailed From Mobile For PhiI- adelphia-Captain King Captured HI Fated Schooner on
 Cape Fear.

WILMINGTON, N. C., Oct. 12-Cap- tain Rumill and four of his crew of the four masted schooner Harry A. Berwind have been murdered by mu- tineers while the vessel was bound from Mobile tc Philadelphia.
 The schooner Blanche H. King, Cap tain J. W. Taylor, bound from Bruns- wick, Ga, to Philadelphia, has put in at Southport, bringing in irons three negroes, all that remained of the crew of the Harry A. Berwind. The cap tain, mate, cook and an engineer who did hoisting work aboard the latter vessel had been killed in the mutiny and their bodies thrown overheard, and the body of fourth sailor, ne gro, was found lying on deck, where he, too, had been killed.
 The Harry A. Berwind was last from Mobile, which port she left on Sept. 25. She was sighted early in the morning thirty miles of the Cape Fear bar by Captain Taylor, whose attention was attracted by the reckless manner in which the i'll fated vessel was being steered, her course threatening to run down his own vessel.
 Captain Taylor and crew boarded the vessel and placed the negroes in ironsTbffnging the two vessels off the bar, when one of them was lowed in, by Wilmington tugs.
 The Berwind being from territory against which this city is quarantined for yellow fever, the three negroes taken from her are held at quarantine until arrangements can be made for their detention by the federal authori. ties.

SaUags's English Grand Opeya .a Company---" Man and
 Suberman.

Henry w. Sayage's tenth season of ! his English Grand Opera company , opened recently in Brooklyn with an elaborate new production of yerdi's famed Egyptian opera Aida" This is only one of seven masterpieces in the company's repertory this season. The English singing artists were welcomed by an audience that completely filled Senator Reynolds new playhouse, the music lovers remaining after the last curtain to call out the favorite artists , and conductors for final ovation. Mime. Serena, who recently arrived from Paris, made her American debut in the title role and scored pronounced hit. This talented young Roumanian singer was Jean De Reszke's star pupil before she made her Paris debut two years ago. Other members of the cast included Rita Newman, the dramatic contralto; Joseph Sheehan. who electri- fled the audience with his high c in the famous Celeste Aida" Winfred Golf, the artistic baritone; Ottley Cranston, the Basso of last years ''Parsifaf com pany, and Millicent Brennan, another new prima donna. t.
 Following Aida the repertory for the week included Wagner's "Lohen- grin" and "Tannhauser," Puccini's La Boheme," Gounods "Faust'' and Verdi's "Rigoletto." This latter exqui- site and popular work is one of the chief new features this season, and it more than duplicated the success of Aida" .s
 Wagner's "Valkyrie'' is to have it's first production in English this season by Mir. Savage during the coming Bos- ton engagement. ,s,-i -Eg
 The company has started on its sec ond cross continental tour, carrying over 150 people and an orchestra of fifty musicians, under Conductors N. B. Emanuel, Elliot Schenck and Eugene Salvatore.
 Man and Superman' grows more popular as the weeks go by. It is not likely any other attraction will be seen at the Hudson theater, New York, this season.
