yet even on grander scale. He caused invitations to be sent broad cast to the beggars, tramps and mis- celaneous hoboes of St. Petersburg. The banquet hall was the cemetery, the home of his exploits.
 The police, strange to say, raised no objections to the jubilee in the grave yard. They allowed the caterers $ wagons to unload huge piles of eat ables and great baskets filled to the brim with bottles of strong vollSa, They allowed the guests-the queerest assemblage in the city--to gather to the number of a round thousand, and. furthermore, they raised no objections to the graves and gravestones being used as tables. On each gravestone was laid a sumptuous repast. with it's proper complement of liquid refresh ments. A dozen or more of the strange guests gathered around each grave depending on the size, and there they feasted. Ivan himself presided at one of the central graves, a great mauso lenm, the family vault of prince During the feast he also visited and drank his toast at others Of the tombs The strange continued from noon throughout the evening, until came the time for the cemetery to be closed for the night There was an unseemly noise. Each party of junketers had its ewn merriment, but. although the vodka was plentiful. there were no drunkards and no rowdies In the crowd.
 Ivan SteDanoH announced early in the day with much eclat that in view of the festivities. he would abstain from importuning strangers for aims for that day. the first day in thirty five years in which he had not attend. ed to his business
 Toward closing time Stepanoff mar. shaled his guests in small parties and conducted them 10 the gates. From there they vanished to their various holes.
 If is estimated that the celebration cost the King of Beggars fully $500. But he is plying his trade more vigor.

The weakness in the official cam paign to destroy Hartman and uproot the great railroad combine he has ere ated is found in the fact that he has been a factor of the very first impor- tance in the development of the great empire west of the Mississippi. In moving to tear asunder the merger by which the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific systems have been welded into one the prosecution is brought face to face with the incontrovertible truth that the railroad systems in question under tn 0 management of MT. Hartman have much more than doubled their tonnage within the last six or seven years, and have extended their useful ness to the best possible advantage of the millions of people who inhabit the regions they traverse. To show that a merger which has done this, and un- der which hundreds of millions of dol lars have been spent in railroad con struction and improvement has been acting fin restraint of trade" will be a difficult task. The facts seem to be against the contention. and when these facts come to be scrutinized and looked into carefully the magnitude of the job cppalls the campaigners. And no won

KING OF BEGGARS
Gives a Dinner to One Thousand Tramps In a Russian Graveyard.

St. Petersburg Cor. New York Press.
 From far-off Chicago there came 10 the capital of all the Russians the tale of the great banquet to American tramps and beggars. No doubt the gayety and magnificence of Dr. Reit- mans spread to hoboes was much dis torted when the story reached the ears of Russian beggars. Yet it made an impression, and especially on Ivan Stepanoff, the king of Russian beggars. Ivan the other day celebrated the thirty-fifth anniversary of his sover- eighty.
 This king of the underworld was most anxious to celebrate the event in an up-to-date manner, and so the mo- ment he heard of the Chicago feast he decided that he would follow suit and give gorgeous banquet.
 Those familiar with Russia and Rus. sian life know that one of the features of the land is the army of beggars There is no Charity Organization So- ciety to bother and the police are friendly-so friendly. in fact, that there is probability that the beggars either pay a goodly percentage or buy out right from the police their numerous stands in the streets of the cities.
 Ivan Stepano is man of 60---a tall, well-built man, with white hair and beard. having more the appearance of a well-to-do artisan or minor official than a beggar. Yet he has piled his trade" for a good thirty-fve years and always at the same stand, the largest and most fashionable cemetery of St. Petersburg, situated in the sub urb of Kolomna. Here he Is one of the most noted figures, dressed in pic turesque rags. He has a soft voice, an engaging manner, and with visitors and sightseers as well as mourners he is a success in soliciting aims for him self, his poor" wife and starving" children.
 As a matter of fact. which the po- lice, but not the public, is aware of, his wife wears valuable furs and dia- monds; one of his daughters Is mar ried to merchant. who. with her, re ceiyeG large dot" and his two sons are students at the Lycee and may may shortly gain well-paid positions in the public service
 The police, but not the public, also know that the very handsome villa in- closed by large and wel-kept gar den. situated in the Kolomna suburb. is Stepanoff's home, and that he built 1t himself.
 The menage is luxurious one and the beggar has his servants and his trotters just as if he were a noble or a wealthy merchant.
 So much for the King of Beggars. For his anniversary he decided to fol. low the idea of the Chicago banquet,

After that the center of the respiratory movements cease. One can for whole minute maintain a complete immobility of the heart while the respiratory movements continue intact, and if the intensity of the current be but slightly diminished the heart begins again to beat. So life can practically be stopped as regards the mo- ton of the heart and respiration and then recommended again.
 Thus, one can, by means of the cleo trica1 current become complete master of the heart and respiration. Knowing the electro motor force necessary to stop the movements of the heart and the breath ing. sufficiently strong current can be used to stop the vital movements of an animal instananeousy"

THE STORM.
Graphic Description of Its Coming By
 One Who Lived to Tell the Tale,

From the Washington Post
 The weather conditions" he said had been precisely those to make the expe- rienced navigator cautious
 ''The morning was sultry. There was not a breath of air stirring. When the sun was half way up to the zenith it showed as dull copper disk. A faintly bluish haze rested upon the horizon
 When the tide began to make an al most imperceptble breeze come up from the sou west-iust enough to make the flags tail off at intervals and then settle down and flap feebly against the staffs.
 Banks of clouds appeared and finally massed themselves in the western sky. l said to myself that 1t was no time to be at sea-that at high water there would be something doing up aloft and lower down.
 Later the clouds began to draw water. The heavy bank seemed to part and one portion of it bore away to the south ard and the other to the nor ard. A few big drops of rain fell but that was all we got of 1t. In the course of the afternoon l ventured out.
 Along toward low water the light breeze of wind failed. There was dead calm. l had all sail set, but could not keep steerage way. She simply drifted with the tide. The surface of the sea was like glass. save for long swell that came in from seaward.
 lover in the no'theast the peak of a cloud showed itself. It was fringed with light. 1t mounted rapidly. Other clouds seemed to be pushing it up.
 "The white fringe edged the porten- tous bank they were forming. Below this the color was dull leaden.
 "I knew what that meant. I over l. A1- 10 + eye all the time on the bank of cloud coming up against the direction from which the breeze had been blowing be- fore the dead calm.
 Suddenly a ripple appeared on the water beneath the dark cloud with it's fringe of white and sails of vessels up 10 windward dropped if the halyards had been cut. I could see men scurry- ing about the decks. 'f
 "A yellow rufhe appeared upon the water. advancing with inconcelvable velocity. Beyond it was a wall of tor rential rain, rent by blinding streaks of lightning. Peal after peal of thunder came in quick succession.
 'I vanly tried to head the craft so that she would take the onset of the gale head on. The dark ripple on the water, followed closely by the line of yellow foam, was almost upon me.
 What was I to do? l could let the sails go by the run, drop the anch or pay out all my line and hand on. But what if the gale should be so stiff that she couldn't lie to it. Then l would have have to buoy my anchor line and scud with bare poles till the gale blew itself out
 While these thoughts were flashing through my mind it came to point where something must be done quick ly.
 "Without another instant's hesitation I got out. took my canoe under my arm, and walked ashore. barely in time to keep from getting wet above my knees"

RODIN MAY BUILD 4 GIGANTIC WORK To Be Comprehensive Symbol
 of Labor A HARD POINT OF LAW Is Railroad Responsible for Murder Committed on One of Its Trains? French Court Must Decide
 This Question.
BY PAUL VlLLIERS.

Copyright. 1907, by w. R. Hearst)
 Paris, September 7.-Rodin, the famous sculptor, has just propounded an idea for new gigantic piece of work which he intends to carry out The artists notion Is arousing great inter- est everywher
 The author of the "Le Penseurn and "L'Hemme qui Marche" at this years salon intends to produce Tour de Travail,' which is in sculpture. to be a. comprehensive symbol of labor "The tower" said NJ Rodin. when asked to explain the work, will nest on crypt
 "The doors of this crypt will be guarded by figures representing night and day, while within will be seen the figures of miners, driven and other wh o toll by night and day under ground or under water On spiral band ascend ing the tower will be represented vari- ous kinds of trades. such as black smiths, potters. masons. and on the top of the monument will be the figures of two angels descending from heaven and protecting the workers"
 M. Rodin will do all the sculpturing of this huge movement, while he has found an architect willing and able to undertake that part of the work In NJ Nenot
 The cost is likely, of course, to be very heavy, and the sculptor thinks 1t will be necessary to appeal to q very wide public for subscriptions. He Is not however, very clear as to what is go- ing to be done with 1t when completed
 The distinguished sculptor has all ways taken a great interest in the worker, and, like the Belgian sculptor Constantin Meunier. has depicted toil- CTS of all kinds In Various positions and capacities.

The Paris courts are called upon to give a decision in a case of remark able interest involving a point which has never hitherto been placed before q court of law.
 The point is--is a railway company responsible for a murder committed in one of it's trains?
 In November last commercial trav- eler. named Dallicho travelling from Paris to Bordeaux. was murdered in the train for the sake of the money he was car rying. he being found in a dying condl- ton on the rails, thrown from his car riage, The crime was traced to a band of known railway thieves. The tutor and guardian of the young children of M Dallcho has now brought an action in the name of his charges against the Southern of France Railway company. claiming 10000 francs dam ages
 The contention is that NJ. Dellieho in taking a ticket was assured of his safe arrival at his destination; that. as this condition was not carried out the com pany failed in it's duties and that the company was guilty of contrbutory neg ligence, both in itself in making it's car rages so unsafe and in the person of it's employees, who did not keep proper watch and guard so that the crime could be committed.

The re erection O. the famous Porcelain Tower in the park of St Cloud. which was destroyed by the mob during tho Commune. at the same time as the castle was decided some years ago, and the state porcelain manufactory at Sevres has been for a long time engaged on the work.
 Unfortunately the funds placed at the disposal of the Sevres factory by the state are not large enough to enable such a work to be carried on without extra aid This has not yet been forth coming. and consequently the work is at a standstill for want of money.
 A similar thing happened in the case of a house in porcelain which the factory started to build in the Square Saint Ger main-les- Pres but which could not be continued for want of cash and so noth- ink stands of the house but it's facade.
 The model of the tower for St. Cloud is all ready. It's staircase. with double spiral arrangement for ascent and des- cent is arranged on the plan of the fa- nous staircase of Chambord Loire.
