TALES OF MASSACRE
Elisabethgrad Burning While
 Mob Kills and Plunders.
WSSACKS, CARS HOPE, DISLOYAL
Famous Horsemen of the Don Com- plain of Uniforms and of Being
 Fed Like Dogs-Russia Near ing National Ruin.

LONDON, Dec. 13.-Dispatches from St. Petersburg received here by way of Bucharest, Roumania, declare that since Sunday the town of Elisabeth grad, Russia, has been burning and that a mob has been killing and plum dering in the Hebrew quarter. A regi- ment is proceeding to Elisabethgrad from Kishineff to restore order there.
 A dispatch through Moji, Japan, gives detailed accounts by refugees of the sacking and burning of Harbin, Manchuria, by mutinous Russians. The mutineers set fire to and pillaged houses in every direction and seized all the weapons and ammunition they were able to lay their hands on during the night. When dawn came all the mutineers crept to hiding places. Day light revealed the Chinese quarter in ruins and 400 Russian citizens lying dead or wounded in the streets of Har- bin. The authorities, the accounts say, really assisted the mutineers in sack. ing the remnants of the city while pre- lCHuiHS tIdI tucs " Elc lnohluS Choi ito to suppress the mutiny.
 The sentiment of the workmen's dele gates, which was extremely depressed, has been somewhat raised by the re- ceipt of dispatch from Moscow stat ing that the revolutionary propaganda has finally taken root among the Cos sacks, the last hope of the reaction.
 The third squadron of the First regi- ment of Don Cossacks is reported to have held a meeting and to have drawn up service demands, saying that the men are fed like dogs and shabbily clothed The government officials were forced to deprive the soldiers of their rifles and lances. This is the first sign of disaffection on the part of the Cos sacks.
 Russia today seems nearer than ever to anarchy and possible disruption. The troops, outside of the Cossacks, are not to be relied on. Witte is pes simistic, fears deadly rioting and is reported to have said that Russians seem determined on national ruin.
 At Warsaw general strike of all servants has been declared. Infantry and cavalry are again patrolling the town

LOVED STARS AND BARS.
An Interesting Incident in the Life of President Roosevelt's
 Mother.

There are many still in Georgia who cherish tender memories of the presi- dents beautiful, aristocratic mother, says the National Magazine Through out her girlhood she was noted belle, admired everywhere for her beauty. ac- complishments, charm of manner and strong mentality. During visit to her sister in Philadelphia she met Mir. Roosevelt, who was captivated by the lovely young southern girl, and the an- nouncement of their engagement soon followed. Publications and regrets were intermingled, for many deplored her loss when the bridegroom rode out from the north to claim his bride.
 Martha Bulloch Roosevelt loved with ardor her native state, and mourned with anguish the sorrows that the war between the states brought to her peo- pie. On one occasion, after hostilities between the north and south had be- gun and when her northern home was decorated for some festive occasion with American flags. she, to show her loyalty to the south, displayed from her boudoir window the confederate flag. which caused angry sentiments in the crowd that collected in front of the house. They demanded the removal of the fiagai She refused when told by MT. Roosevelt, and no persuasion from her husband could induce her to with draw it. So he made speech to the crowd, by this time mob. told them his wife loved the flag, as she was a southern woman, and the mob dis persed.

HAIRPINS AND HAzINC.
Freshmen" in Girls College Sub- jected to Some Strange
 Restrictions.

The sophomores of Barnard college have promulgated rules for their younger sisters which, says the Wash ington Times, are in these dreadful terms:
 Freshmen must not appear on the college grounds in the company of young men.
 Freshmen must not carry parasols until after the inclass basketball game, and then only if victorious.
 Freshmen must not walk on the grass plots or sit on the lodges of Mil- bank hall.
 The number of hairpins to be worn by freshmen is limited to 12, and none of these may be ornamental"
 The penalties for breaking these inc functions are not enumerated, but are doubtless sufficiently dire to make any girl lose all her surplus hairpins at the mere thought of them. It is not the present purpose to descant upon the cruelty of forbidding fresh girls from Haunting their gentlemen friends in the faces of their elder sisters, nor do we strenuously object to the wise econ omy in parasols enforced In rule 9. Far be it from us even to question the propriety of keeping the yearlings off the grass, or their banishment from the delectable cud-chewing lodges of Milbank hall; but why, why should freshwoman's hairpins be restricted to 12, and these limited to the com mon old variety known as the button hook?
 By the way, why can't the women's colleges find some other term for the first year girls than freshmen? If it were permitted us to suggest we would use word that is really descriptive, like "miss-learnings."

History has been repeating itself on the Bendigo gold fields in Australia. A young man named George Washing. ton was brought before the local bench on a charge of illegally cutting tim Der on crown lands" Following his great namesake, he pleaded guilty. The chairman of the bench thus ad- dressed him: Even though your name be George Washington, you have no right to go into another's orchard and cut down trees, even though they be not cherry trees. You will be fined ga (15), with the option of 22 days imprisonment"

Mir. Gladstone one day evaded an international regulation at the Franco Italian frontier as follows: He was carrying for his refreshment a basket of fine grapes. which stringent regulations at the time forbade being taken from one country to the other. on account of phylloxera, an insect that attacks the roots and leaves of the grapevines. Mir. Gladstone's great brain reviewed the situation; he must obey the law. but he was determined to have the grapes. so he sat down then and there on the rallEay station bench and ate them

A novel and apparently successful burglar alarm which was recently put up in the store of Baltimore grocer has the merit of simplicity and cheapness. He placed over the door of the grocery an ordinary shovel, hung on a nall so that when the door opened the shovel would fall and make a racket. Burglars visited the place the other night, the shovel did all that was expected of it and the burglars, alarmed by the noise. took to their heels.

g. c. Holden Accepted Loan OF $llVS
From storey Cotton Company.
philadelphia, April 3. IT George e.
Holden. the inspector in the United
states postal service attached TO the
philadelphia inspection division, who
admitted that the Storey Cotton COM
pany. the defunct "get-rich-quick'
concern. most Of whose officers are
fugltives from justice, advanced $4lOO
to him as a loan for few days, has
sent his resignation to Washington.
Holden declares that he received the
money and paid it back few days
later. without any understanding or
agreement with the Storey Cotton
company that he was to protect the
concern against investigation by tho
postofice department. He, however
admitted that in accepting the loan
from that concern he was indisereet
and thought it best, in view OF the
revelations in the case, to send his
resignation to the postal authorities At
Washington.
In a statement made by Holden, ne
in a very few days, and that he was
greatly surprised to learn that 1t had
been entered on the books Of the COM
pany, because It was a personal loan
from F. Ewart Storey. He believes, he
said, that the loan was placed on the
books to do him injury. Since the loan
was made, he says, he has sent three
separate reports to Washington recon-
mending that fraud orders be issued
against the Storey concern.

tends. that Garrett was responsible

the leader or else she would not play.
She was selfish; she was just mean and
cOntemptibly selfish. You could not
understand her actions until your moth
er took you In a side room and said;
May, am sorry that you and Helen
cannot play happily together. But you
must be very patient with your cousin.
Remember she is an only child. Re
member at home everything she wants
is given to her, and no one ever crosses
her. You must be patient with her,
my daughter. She has been spoiled,
and she is not alone to be blamed for
It."
The rich man may not be all to blame
for being selfish. As the eastern camel
goes swinging along with his head high
up and cares not what little child he
may kick in the street, so the rich man
may not be entirely at fault because
he treads upon the rights of others. He
cannot look at the world through ordi-
nary eyes. The world tOadies to him
and crlnges and fawns over him until
after awhile he is apt to think he is the
smartest, noblest, kindest, sweetest
being who ever lived He begins to
think his blood different from all other
blood and his life better than all other
lives. Now, rich men, amid all the
sycophants fawning and cringing about
you, 1 want to tell you clearly and en-
phatically that God has not one code of
morals for the rich and another for the
poor. You and 1 must bow to the same
rules of justice and kindness and gen
tleness and forgiveness and love in our
dealings with our fellow men. The
needles eye is a low door. The low
door means that we must bend to God.
1t is narrow door. The narrow door
means that we must be just and true to
those with whom we come in contact
in the walks of daily life.
