An Enperor's Attic.

The winter palace of the car sur

is on the banks of the Neva and owes
it's existence to the Empress Catherine
H., that most extraordinary woman,
extra ordinary in ability and in vice,
the surprise of all her contemporaries
and the wonder Of all who have stud
led her character. The building is
four stories high, Of a light brown
color and highly ornamental in archi-
lecture. 1t is a wilderness of halls,
stairways and apartments. The Mich
olas hall and the st. Georges hall will
never be forgotten by those who have
seen them.
One of the most interesting rooms is
that where Nicholas l. died. 1t is in
the upper story of the northeast corner
of the building and is approached by
four doors and finally by a narrow

The Detroit Tigers, the now recog-

EARLHAM-WABASH
GAME IS NOW ON
QUAKER taus Are Doing Battle
With Coach Cayou's
Crimson Warriors.
ALL WILL GET A TRIAL.
TAKEN BY VAIL WAS TO BE
GIVEN TEST IN STRUGGLE AT
cRAWFoRDSvILLE

Earlham this afternoon is doing bat
tie with Wabash college at Crawfords-
vile on the gridiron and local Earl
ham supporters are aaxiously await
ing the result of the game. A low
score is ali that the followers are ex-
pecting and if Earlham succeeds in
holding the crimson-dyed warriors of
Coach Cayou to a less score than did
Rose Polytechnic one week ago, all
will be peace and contentment in the
camp of the Quakers.
Coach Vail of Earlham, just before
leaving to enter the camp of the enc
my, made the assertion that he could
not hope to win against Wabash who
has had the advantage Of four weeks
training and one match game, while
Earlham has had but two weeks prac-
tice, but he intended to make his men
do their best. He felt that each men,
Der Of the Earlham squad is imbued
with the spirit of do or die and that
is just what it takes to win games.
Don't Expect to Win.
Since Coach Vail does not expect to
win the game this afternoon and there
is number of hard games in the flu
ture for the Quakers which will di-
rectly bear on the secondary college
championship of the state, he will use
every man taken to Charlottesville to-
day. Coach Vail took with him a
squad of eighteen men and he will see
hof <r;1, 1l,o -
their prowess. In speaking of the
matter Vail said that he would learn
the merits of the players and would in
the future have some tangible ground
to work upon in organizing a regular
varsity team. Some OF the players, he
says, may show up well in practice
and others making a poor show in
practice need the stimulus of a game
to give their best efforts Coach Vail
now has no regular team and today's
game with the Wabash collegians
will determine largely the men who
shall remain in the regular lineup.

A PERSIAN YARN.
The Dragon That Was Tanned by the
Memory of Shrew.

The Dragon That Was Tanned by the
Memory of q Shrew.
Stories about shrews are very pop-
ular In Persia. Here is one OF them:
A man had a wife who was the plague
of his life At last he could bear 1t no
longer and threw her down a well.
But three days later he relented and
let a rope down the, we'll for her to
come up by IL she was still alive. In
stead OF her a huge dragon came up.
The man was terribly frightened. He
felt sure that the dragon would devour
him, but instead Of devouring him II
overwhelmed him with gratitude and
promises of favors for having deliver
ed him from the society Of such q ter
rible companion. AS reward the
dragon entered into conspiracy with
him. 1t arranged to go and coll itself
round the body of the kings daughter.
Then, after the astrologers and magi-
clans had used all their skill in vain
in the attempt to deliver her, the man
was to come to the king and say:
"Sire, I am the only person who can
save your daughter. If / do not sue
coed you may kill me-"
The dragon would recognize him and
release her, and the king would of
course recompense the savior of his
daughter with splendid presents. The
dragon made 1t a stipulation that IL
he seized any other princess the man
was not to interfere on penalty of
death. So the dragon went and coiled
himself round the daughter of the
shah, and after every remedy had been
tried without success the man came
and presented himself before the shah,
saying: Sire, | am the only person
who can save your daughter. If I do
not succeed, you will kill me-" Then
the dragon knew him and went away,
leaving the princess free, and the king
bestowed her upon the deliverer and
gave him an enormous fortune.
After a time the dragon went and
coiled itself round the body of prin-
cess of Franghistan. The king OF
Franghistan, who had heard Of the
marvellous rescue of the shah's daugh-
ter, sent an embassy loaded with cost
ly presents to the court of Persia, pray
ing her rescuer to come and free his
daughter also, but the man remember

and was afraid to go. His royal IA
ther-in-law naturally did not under
stand the reason and was furious and
insisted that he should go.
At last the man had to go, but he
was In terror as to what would hap
pen for breaking his contract with the
dragon. When he arrived in the pres
ence of the dra gon and the princess he
said to the dragon: Il have not broken
my word. / did not come to deliver
the princess, but only to tell you that
my wife has succeeded in getting out
of the well and Is coming to avenge
herself upon you as quickly as she

CORONERS IN MAINE.
More Than Officials Fo. Probing Cases
of N;oIent Oeaths.

Suppose you know all about the du-
ties of a coroner Perhaps ii would
be safer To say you think you do. for
the chances are that your real knowl-
edge OF what these officials do is some
what limited 1t wouldn't be at al!
strange If there are many lawyers
who are not thoroughly acquainted
with the duties and privileges of these
officials.
Time was when coroners of Maine
outranked the sheriffs. Ever hear
about that? 1t wasn't SO many years
ago. In those days the coroners were
required TO give a bond of $500 900 and
the sheriff one of $4,000. Today ii Is
different The sherifs give the same
big bond. but the coroners have TO
have financial backing to the extent Of
only about a thousand. The legisla-
ture has changed the law
Even now there are only two officials
who can serve n paper upon sheriff,
a coroner or high sheriff OF another
county. 1t used TO be that the coroner
was the only one who could do this.
There are times when it becomes
necessary to serve writ of attach
ment upon sheriff. and this, too.
when he doesn't owe the man who
makes the attachment single penny.
A brings suit against B and at
taches his property to insure getting
his cash. B, however, owes c GER
tain sum. Now, the property which
A has attached is worth great deal
more than the amount Of AS claim.
G can't very we'll attach 1t, because
there is already an attachment. To
cover his claim he must attach the
sheriff as custodian of the property.
To look out for his own interests he
had the attachments made. Here Is
where the coroner comes in. He or
the high sheriff of another county must
make the service. AS coroners are
for the most part, most accessible
they are called for oftenest in these
| cases.
The coroner also does the work OF
a sheriff or his deputy in the case OF
the death of a sheriff
When a sheriff dies his deputies "dit
with him" In such an event the coun

made by law to guard against emer
gencies. On the death of q sheriff tn
governor, first of all, appoints jai
breaker, so that there may be som
person legally to have charge of con
victs in the penal institution of tn
county. After that he names a sheriff
to fill the unexpfred term. But thi
doesn't provide for the service of civ
papers.
Here is where the coroner steps II
He, under the laws of the state, ha
power to serve these papers.
! The last sheriff to die in Office 4
Maine was Sheriff Reed of Penobsco
county in 1895. In the time betwee
his death and the appointment of hi
successor Charles r. Brown of Spring
field, there came an important attach
ment to be made on a Bangor concern
A coroner was called in by the firm o
lawyers who had the case. and he wa
requested to make the service. 1t wa
a new duty for the man, but he sue
cessfully grappled with 1t.
You see, coroners are something NOR
than officials for investigating cases o
violent deaths.-Lewiston Journal

Go To Savannah?
Move Made by MIR. WcFad-

This from the Savannah Moru-
ing News today will interest
Brunswickians:
Broxton. Ga. April 16.-What
is believed to mean that the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
Railway contemplates building
iEto Savannah, the deal just
closed whereby the Ocilla and
Valdosta Railroad from Broxton
to Fitzerald became the property
of a syndicate represented by
Mr.. H. C. McFadden.
The new management took
charge Monday, and will operate
temporarily until a new charter
can be secured under the old
charter of the Broxton Halle
hurst and Savannah Railroad.
The use Of the present charter
will be impracticable because
the section of the road from
Broxton 10 Hazlehurst was sold
recently to the Georgia and
Florida Railway.
1t is semi-oficially announced
that a new charter will be ap.
piled for at once, and the change
so made as to allow the road to
be built via Bailey and Gfennvile
into Savannah, and from Fitz-
gerald west to some point in
Ala bama. This, however, is de-
MED by some, who allege that
while Mr.. McFadden resigned
last week as general freight and
passenger agent of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic system
he did so in order to take hold of
this proposed new division of the
Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic Railway from Fitzgerald
to Savannah.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic is said to have bought
valuable terminals in Savannah.
1t is safe to predict that Savan.
nah will have another railroad
