CALL IT accidental.
Charge of Crepe Goes Over
Head of CZdr...fired by
AriStOCrdtiC Battery.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 21.-The cere.
mony Of blessing the waters this year
was accompanied by an event more
mysterious, unprecedented and extra
ordinary than any afforded by the an.
nails of Russian history. For a Rus.
sian sovereign to fall by the hand of
an assassin is no new thing in Russian
records. but that the emperor should
narrowly escape death by shot from
his own artillery while he was engag
ed in a solemn religious rite. surround
ed by priests of his church. is so diff
cult to realize as to be almost incred.
ible.
Yet this is what has happened and
the Russian public is left wondering
and mystified.
By the merest chance the imperial
family escaped unhurt, but public
opinion is stunned by what might have
been the tragic results of the affair.
The festival of the Epiphany, the
blessing of the waters, had just con-
cluded at one O'Clock when simultane.
ously with the salute fired from the
St. Peter and ST. Paul fortress charge
of grape shot swept over the little
chapel built over the frozen Neva in
front of the winter palace, where En-
peror Nicholas and every member of
the Rohanoff family were participant
ing in the service.
The missiles went high. entering the
windows of the splendid row OF salons
along the water front. from which the
empress, the ladies of the court and
the mem bers of the diplomatic corps,
incluuing Ambassador Mccormick
Secretary Eddy and Second Secretary
Bliss, and all the high dignitaries of
the state, army and navy were witness
ing the glittering spectacle below.
Fortunately the bullets passed over
the heads of all present. striking the
opposite wall and Gathering down on
the parquette floor of the white salon.
1t is stated in official circles that
tie grape was fired from one of the
guns of the Seventeenth battery of the
first horse artillery of the guard, the
most aristocratic corps in the Russian
army. 1t is believed that at the gun
practice Tuesday loaded shell was
inadvertently left in the gun. The
ocffiial account of the affair calls it
an accident, but there are many who
believe that it was al attempt to take
the lives of as many of the Romanoff
family, including the car, as possible,
and at the same time to strike terror to
the hearts of all high in authority. An
investigation is in progress.

WHEAT CROP FIGURES.
Government Estimate Is Over 3d.
100000 Bushels for 1904.

Washington, Jan. lS.-Washington
had the largest wheat crop in its his
tory last year, with the single excep-
ton of 1901, when the bumper crop
was raised. The completed statistics
given by the department of agriculture
are surprise in many features. 1t
was known that Washington had pro-
duced tremendous harvest Of winter
wheat, and there was no doubt that
the crop of spring sown wheat was ex.
cellent in quality and quantity, but
only few persons we'll informed in
farm statistics had ventured to predict
total crop exceeding $4,000, 900
bushels.
Yet it turns out. according to the
corrected figures Of the agricultural
department that the 1904 harvest
amounted to 2,140,60 bushels. The
bumper crop Of 1901 was 34,5lS.9 6s
bushels. The 1908 harvest was good
one, but it was more than $4,000, 900
bushels less than that of last season.

combined firmness and moderation.
The refusal to permit delegation

great demonstration planned 70 Sunday
with its unlimited possibilities for AN
outbreak, will not be permitted to take
place. At the same time. acting in

the great majority of the workmen
would be inclined to accept.

latter medals have only recently been
finished and presented to the president.
The design for the medal was made
by Adolph A. Wineman, of New York,
under the personal direction of Angus
tus st. Gaudens the sculptor. The
medal is about three inches in diameter
and little more than an eighth of an
inch thick. The diverse bears large
profile bust portrait of President Roose-
welt in low relief The absence of the
eyeglasses is at first a new note in the
portrait, but study discloses the init
mate resemblance, until the medallion
appears as a striking likeness. The in
scription on the diverse consists mere
ly of the words Theodore Roosevelt"
on the upper arc, and president of the
United States of America" below the
portrait
To the right of the portrait appears in
slight relief the words "Aequum
representation of an eagle. standing
with neck outreached, attentive, watch
full. Around the upper edge of the
medallion occurs in relief the inscrip-
ton Washington, D. c., March w,

Bronze copies of the medal have been
presented by Chairman Wilson to the
Library of Congress and the public
library of the district. these gifts ex-
hausting the supply and the funds at his
disposal for this purpose. The distribu-
ton of the medals practically closes the
business of the inaugural committee

Marks Of Longevity

Every person carries about with him
the physical indications of his longevity.
A long lived person may be distinguished
from short lived person at sight. In
many instances physician may look at
the hand of patient and tell whether he
will live or die
The primary conditions of longevity
are that the heart, lungs and digestive
organs as well as the brain should be
large. If these organs are large the
trunk will be long and the limbs com
parativelv short. The person win APP
pear tall in sitting and short in stand
ing. The hand will have a long and
somewhat heavy palm and short fin
gers. The brain will be deeply seated,
MS shown by the orifice of the ear be-
ing low. The blue hazel or brown ha-
eel eye. aE' showing an intermiSSion of
temperament, is a favorable Indication.
The uGStris ocing large. open and free,
indicates large lungs \ pinchcd and
half closed noStril indicates small OF
weak lungs
These are general points Of distinction
from those of short lived tendencies. but
of course. subject TO the usual individ-
ual exceptions. Still, it is we'll acknowl-
edged that the characteristics noted are
expressions of inherent potontiality,
which have been proved on the basis
of abundant statistical evidence.

Not The Fourth Thursday

The fourth Thursday in November will
not be Thanksgiving day this year. As
the fifth Thursday has been designated
by the President of the United States
the Governor of hte Old Dominion will
issue his proclamation to conform to
that of the President.
Secretary Richie wrote to Secretary
Loeb at Washington. regagrding the
matter as for many years the fourth
Thursday has been designated rs Thanks
giving. Secretary Loeb replied by
saying that the President would desig
nate November 80.
The Presidents decision in the matter
has created some surprise in this State
it having been generally conceded that
the date of Thanks giving would be the
same as in former years. Many persons
had made their arrangements according
ly.
The New International Encyclopedia
says that 'since 1864 the President has
appointed a day of Thanksgiving Jus
uHlly the last Thursday in November.
and his proclamation has generally been
followed by similar procl0mationS from
the Governors of the several States"
Jchnson'S Universal Encyclopedias says:
"The day which is usually the fourth
Thursday of November, is designated by
Il proclamation signed by the Governor
or the prcSident.' As it il only once III
half Il dozen years that the fourth
Thursday of November is not the last
Thursday. the infrequcncy with which
the fifth Thursday i. designated for the
holiday has created the impression that
the fourth Thursday is always the date.
