an interview at Peterhof shows that
the Constitutional Democrats have a

desired ally at court and in Premier
Goremykin an opponent who is held
In contempt as q procrastinator and

idea of a responsible ministry is based,
however, not on regard for the Consti-
tutional Democrats, whom he consid-
ers to be half revolutionists, but on
the conviction that repression by a
disaffected army and disorganized po-
lice would no longer serve. The gen.
eral spoke with his usual remarkable
bluntness, not attempting to cover Che

Alton Rebate Case.

the United States district court, re-
fused to grant new trial to the Chi
cago and Alton railroad and John N.
Faithorn and Fred A. Wann, former
officials of the Alton, who were con-
victed of the illegal giving of rebates.
At the time, of refusing the new trial
the attorneys for the defense claimed
that the granting of the rebates to the
Schwarzschild & Sulzberger company
was generally known in Kansas City
and they asked for time to show that
the rebate was given publicly and not
in secret. The court, after some dis
cussion, said they would have a right
ito show this before the punishment
was determined and gave the defense
until next Wednesday to bring evil
dence into court showing that the re-
bate was generally known.

TRAGIC END FOR
..PADDY" LYNCH
Gun Slips and Is DISCHARGED and
the Shot Enters Lynch's
Side.
Victim, With Two Companions,
Was Fishing in Turtle
River Lake.

Throuth the accidental dis
charge of a shotgun late last Sat
urday afternoon, s'Paddy"
Lynch, an old time lumberjack,
was almost instantly killed, and
Chas. Perrault narrowly escaped
the same fate, at Farley.
Lynch, who has made his
home for several years at the
home of Charles Fogelquist, near
Farley, was out in a boat on
Turtle River lake fishing, and
with him were Charles Perrault,
a saloonkeeper of Farley, and
boy from Farley.
They had with them a loaded
shotgun, which was lying in the
front of the boat. Perrault was
rowing and sitting in the center
seat. Lynch was looking after
the troll line which was out at
the end of the boat.
He reached for the line, and in
doing so, tipped the boat to one
side. The shotgun slid to the
side of the boat and was dis
charged. The charge of shot
flew past Perrault's head and
struck Lynch in the right arm
and right side. A few of the
shot hit Perrault, but he was not
seriously hurt. The load of lead
tore through Lynch's arm,
nearly severing his hand from
his wrist, and tore a frightful
hole in his right side.
With the exclamation, 81 am
gone, Lynch fell over in the
bottom of the boat and almost

from being funny. She is the originator of
that ever popular expression so familiar
to the readers Of comic supplements-"And
Her Name Was Maud" Every day at
Luna Park Maud will be heard to say
''Hee-Haw'' to the children and grown-ups
that flock to see her. and her expression is
one Of mingled pleasure and defiance. This
little bit Of muiinity has the honor to stand
alone in the amusement world as an I'M

horseman or muleman capable enough to
stay on the well-rounded back. In fact. a
reward is offered at each performance for
the volunteer who will ride her.
The Cazrab circus has many other anus

the little ponies that ride the fast revolv-

pcEies in the world so small that Mr..
CaZrab carries one under each arm when
taking them to and from their platform on
the hippodrome stage. They perform the
most difficult stunts on the revolving table,
especially constructed for their use. When
this table has been set in full motion the
ponies are placed on 1t and their little feet
fly fast that it requires good pair of
eyes to see them move. After the ponies

Cleansing the Stage.

FROM the Cleveland Leader.
The stage needs regeneration Scrub
bling and disinfecting are In order. Its
morals must be bettered. Its methods i'm
proved Its ambition made more ideal. De-
nunciation, though. will not bring these
things about. Neither will they result from
bricks and mortar. 1t wiz not be enough
to build that one magnificent three-miliion-
dollar national theater in New York and
the two plain, uncolored ones for PEN
n.y. in Chicago to drive lunacy and lubric-
ity from behind the footlights.
1t Is from men and women alone that
the impulse must come and its practical
expression. II they wish better acting
they must say so and then stick to it. II
they care to have the literary quality in
their plays, such must be their announce
ment. II they find the present grade Of
musical pieces inane and tuneless, they
must stop patronizing them. II they do
not wish to associate even across the foot
lights. with stage characters they would
not welcome In flesh and blood to their
own firesides, they must call for better
grade of humanity. They win get anything
and everything they want IL they only de-
nland 1t.
All this talk of the stage suffering from
managerial instruction. lack Of artistic
purpose. and rank commercialism is balder-
DASH
OF course it Is 'seommerciaf;" the word
which embraces all the other indictments.
Managers are not providing amusement
for their health. any more than publishers
are issuing books through spirit OF phi
lanthropy. They wish to make money. They
prefer to do 1t Clearly; their inclination is
for artistic worthiness: their ambitAu--
speaking for them as a class-is to mix

But they are not going to do i to their
