An Artist,s Whim,

In the church Of Tasow. in the gov
ernment Of Kursk, Russia, the altar
piece is a painting Of the last Judg-
ment, the foreground being a vivid
representation Of hell. Among the fig
ures of lost souls prominent position
is occupied by Tolstoi, whose portrait
presents a fairly good likeness. The
painters name is unknown, but that
his work is appreciated is shown by
the fact that the town authorities paid
$125 for the picture.

Indians.
The grandfather OF all mosquitoes
lived In the neiIhborhoed OF onondaga,

sally forth and eat an Indian or two
and pick bis teeth with their ribs, Tht
Indians had no arms that would pre-
vail against this monster. 50 they call
cd upon the holder OF heavens TO cons
down Finding that he had met his
match In this person. the mosquito dew

turned eastward, sought help from th,
witches that inhabited the Green lake
and had reached Lake 0nondaga wher
his pursuer came up and killed him.
As his blood poured forth on the
sand each drop became a smaller mos
quito. They gathered about the hold
or OF the heavens and stung him ~
cruelty that he half repented the serv.
Ice he had rendered TO the Indians,

mosquitoes stood on opposite sides Of

killed and two other strikers were seri

previously badly beaten in an effort to
disarm the strikers. The deputies are
still on guard at the smelter, but no
further trouble is expected. -.

ton. of an eight-hour day. The men
demanded the same pay for eight
hours as formerly was paid for ten
hours. One hundred strikers gathered
at the plant and endeavored to keep
strikebreakers from entering. Several
fights were in progress when the sher-
if and his deputies arrived. There
were many women In the crowd and
when the sheriff ordered it to disperse
the women attacked them and some
one fired shot. Immediately the

bedchamber to go to the diningroom
in search of a burglar and that she
afterward heard shots. Except that
the furnishings of the diningroom in
which the body was found were dis
arranged the police say that there was
nothing about the house to indicate
the presence of a burglar. One door
was found unlocked, but without signs
Of having been forced, and an active
bulldog, which accompanied Mr.. Spier
to the diningroom, took no part in the
reported duel with a burglar, il there
was one. '.~E-e
On the other hand the police have
ascertained that one month before his
death Mr.. Spier had insured his life
for $4,000 and had been Obliged to
discount note for s1,357 to pay the
premium on one of the policies when
1t became payable last Saturday. The
policies were payable regardless of
the cause of death and the beneficiary
had been changed from Mrs. Spier to a
trustee of his estate.
Coroner Mathew Cahill said that he
is positive that the wound which
caused Mr.. Spier's death could not
have been inflicted by himself and
that Mr.. Spier was undoubtedly muir
dered.

!. st. Petersburg, May 9.-The danger
sof an early conflict between the gov
eminent and parliament has been
greatly increased by what has hap

hours. The good impression produced
by the Official intimation of the new
premier that the emperor and the gov.
eminent were sincerely DESTROYS OF
working in harmony with parliament,
which was accepted in good faith by
the leaders of the Constitutional Dem
ocrats, enabling them to counsel mod
Grafton, has been largely dissipated2
and in its place the old feeling Of mis-
trust has been revived. The Liberals
are utterly dumbfounded, in view Of
the semi-of1icial assurances on the
subject, by the unexpected promnlssa-
ton of the obnoxious fundamental law
in slightly modified form At one
stroke it put an end to the claim which
the new cabinet tried to foster, name

The Indignation aroused by the en-

crown has been intensified by the
Astounding Action Of the Police s
In dispensing a meeting Of members
Of the lower house of parliament and
OF the upper house or new council OF
the empire ait the hall OF the Econom-

building was surrounded by the Is.
mailoVsky guard regiment and a de
tachment OF cavalry and 100 policemen
marched into the hall where Count
EHeyden, marshal OF the nobility and
I q member of parliament for st. Peters
burg. was presiding and ordered the
meeting to dispense under instruc-
tions from the chief of police. In
spite of vigorous protests that the
meeting was entirely legal under the
