ST. PETERSBURG, Aug 8.-A worse
fate than Siberian exile now awaits the
political prisoner. The terrible fort
ress prison Of SchlUsseIburg. closed By
the Cars ukase Of October. 1895. has
been reopened, enlarged, and improved
by Premier StoIypin.
This sinister place IS on an island in
the Neva. twenty miles from St Peters
burg. Escape tnerefrom IS well nign i'm
possible. for besides the waters Of the
Neva it IS girt about with high ram
parts, around which is posted a strong
military guard
a new wing has been added TO the
prison. consisting Of two ranges. each
having twenty cells. The lower range
is below the level Of the river. so that
the cells are constantly cold and damp.
The prisoners made sick by these un-
healthy conditions are attended only by
one aged chemist, who is the only med
ical attendant for 200 convicts.
Each cell has a small high window.
an iron bed. and an iron table, both
clamped 20 the wall. throughout the
range Of cells runs an iron bar. close
to the ceiling, from which hang chains
attached 70 each prisoner. The prison
ers are reused from sleep three times
every night by mechanical pulls at their
chains. This fieudisn contrivarce has
no utility but to break into the prison
er's only solace-their sleep
Meanwhile the older part Of the prison
is being got ready for the reception of
more ''poIticals," and before long all
the old terrors OF Schlusselburg win be
revived as Il the Car had never issued
his famous ukase.

Threw Himself Into VOL.

Some years ago In the beginning OF his
public career, Senator Beveridge lost
his wife. He had been devOtedly attached
20 her and the blow proved a hard one
He threw himself heart and soul into his
work and each session OF Congress saw
him on the floor with renewed YigOr
for tbs work OF the winter. After many
months he was compelled 10 participate
10 some degree in the social affairs OF
Washington, and shortly after the debut
ball Of Miss Alice Roosevelt his atten-
lions 10 the Presidents daughter were
so marked that Dame Rumor frequently
reported their cngag emsnt. However.
Senator Beverage was only one Of the
many who was an admirer Of the White
House debut3ntt and nothing came Of
the idle talk concerning their prospec-
tive marriage.

Field in the latter's apartments In Six

suited. Throughout the succeeding weeks

A ROOSTER THAT RULES.

It is not often that a barnyard fowl attains neighborhood popularity, but such is the case with a large Massa- chusetts red rooster belonging to Charles Davis, of St. John avenue. A few weeks ago MT. Davis was attract ed to his baTnyard by the whines of a hal fgrown setter pup he is training. He found that the dog had been driv- en into a corner and was being say agely attacked by a big cock, and be- fore he could interfere in behalf of the pup 1t had been pretty heavily marked by the rooster's spurs.
 Since that time Red, as the rooster has come to be called, has become a neighborhood bully, and refuses to al- low pigs or dogs to come within the grounds under his rule. Curiously enough. dogs will not fight back, but actually run from his assaults. As for gamecocks, he has probably thrashed more of them than any other bird in the city.-Kansas City Jour nal
