MAGNIFICENT RUSSIAN CHURCH
Memorial 20 Murdered Car Opened
at ST. Petersburg.

st. Petersburg.-The new Church Of
the Redeemer was recently opened by
Car Nicholas II. in memory of his
murdered grandfather, Alexander II.
For hours before the arrival of the
imperial party traffic over the three
Neva bridges was suspended. Police
men were posted in front Of every
house along the route of the czar from
the landing place to the new church,
and owners of houses were menaced
with a fine of $500 for opening their
windows while his majesty passed.
The imperial party landed near the
British embassy. The Neya was
patrOled by police launches, and the
public was not allowed within many
hundred yards of the memorial church
in any direction. The church has been
erected at a cost of $2,500,0OO. The
first stone was laid in 1897 The fold
ing doors to the altar are of pure sill

AT ST. LAzARE, PARIS
NO GLOOM OR PATHoS AT THIS
PRISON FOR WOMEN.
Many Cheerful Faces Seen Among In
mates of Dreary Place-Phiiosophy
of French People There
ExempIified

Paris.-Henry Jones once said Of
the French people that their philoso-
ply of life was 40 years ahead of the
times 1t is a philosophy that makes
them receive good and bad luck with
the same cheerful smile. the same
careless shrug of the shoulders.
One finds it eXemplified in its most
hopeless environment at st. Lazare,
the womens prison of Paris. 1t is a
great, dreary building, this st. Lazare,
but no one seems TO feel any sense OF
its gloom or pathos.
Outside in the early morning will
be standing a group Of people waiting
to see relatives or friends, a character
istic Partisan group: A young man
of the Apache type, hat well pulled
down over a low brow, very high col
lar and skin of that waxen pallor Pc
culiar to the Partisan boulevardier;
three smiling, coquettishly dressed
women without hats, a clean little old
man who talks to himself and empha-
sizes the monolOgue by beating with
his stick on the pavement, and a
sharp faced little girl whose red stock
ings hang down over a dilapidated
pair of boots much too big for her.
1t is this last who speaks, addressing
all the group:
I've come to bring my sister some
of her duds. She's been pinched
again. It's the fourth time"
"Oh, we'll" answers the pale young
man, that's all right. little one. You
will know the road when your turn
comes"
When the smiling old porter opens
the gates a nun comes forward to re
ceive the visitors and to take the
things they have brought or to allow
them the interviews they ask for.
In a large room on the right are
the clothes of the prisoners. These
are all taken away from them when
, they enter the prison, to be kept un
til such time as the owners are en-
| titled to go out into the world again
When the finery is all discarded the
new inmate puts on uniform-a
coarse gown with fichu, a neat little
homeland wooden shoes.
All their weapons of charm are
taken away from them-all but their
natural cOQuetry, which no power can
divest them of Fichus are tied with
care, hair is pUffed out under the de
mure cap, and the first thing relatives
are asked to bring to st. Lazare is a
| looking glass.

cover the nature Of the child they
chose, or, at any rate, have learned Of
the tendencies he so soon developed.
The mistake has not been repeated.
The new ruler who is Than-Thais sec
ond son. is only nominally the king,
and for a long period the country will
really be ruled by the French resident
at Hue.
How many of the stories of the
atrocities perpetrated by Than-Thai
are true nobody knows, but enough is
known to make it evident that even
the terrible records of Asiatic royal
barbarities can show few human
monsters equal to him. 1t is said that
he found his favOrite pastime in tor
turing his subjects with the most eX-
traOrdinaTy refinement of cruelty, and
that on many occasions the victims
were his own wives. Recently, it is
stated, he had seven of them executed
at once, and the body of one of these
women, who had incurred his special
enmity, was cooked and served at din
ner to his household. Others of his
wives were boiled in oil, and various
members of the royal household were
thrown into the cages of wild beasts,
the king looking on with delight.
At about the same time, 1t was re-
ported. Than-Thai, with his own hand,
shot and killed a prince 20 years old,
a member of the Council of the Royal
Family and the last surviving son Of
King Minh-Mang- When the French
resident protested, the king replied by
fOrbidding him to enter the palace.
1t is said that in the kings seragliO
were 1000 wives and other women
and their servants. Once they en-
tered the royal household they were
never permitted to leave it. Many Of
the wives were recruited from the
ranks of the actresses at the royal
theater

CITY HAS BOY MAYOR
r. w. BINGHAM, 35 YEARS OLD,
RULES LOUISVILLE, Ky.
Entire Cabinet Composed of Young
Men-What They Have Done
Youthful Government Result
of Court Decision.

Louisville. Ky.-Mr. William Dean
Howells described "A Boys Town" If
he should come to Louisville he would
find material for "A Young Mans
Town"
Louisville is now experiencing gov
ernment by men who are comparative
youths and is also experiencing the
most vigorous administration of the
laws she has enjoyed in years.
This youthful government is the di-
rect result of the recent decision Of
the court of appeals which ousted the
former administration of Louisville on
the ground of an unfair election and
delegated 20 Gov Beckham, himself
man we'll this side of 40, the power to
fill practically all the Offices. Here are
some of the principal officers:
Robert Worth Bingham, mayor, S5
years old; A. Scott Bullitt, sheriff, 80;
Robert Lee Page, county attorney, %;
W. W. Davies, chairman of the board
of safety, 80; James B. Brown, chair
man Of the board of works, 30; DR..
/ Ellis Duncan, coroner, "a, and VIII n.
Cox, member of the board of works,
35.
The board of safety and the board
of works control all the departments
and have charge of all the work done
/ by the city of Louisville. so the chair
men of these boards, with the mayor,
| practically dominate the city.
The first thing Mayor Bingham did
/ when he came into Office was to give
/ notice that the lid" must stay down
on Sunday. He appointed a chief of
police who would carry out his orders
The Washington bee., 1907-11-09

and his board OF safety gave the police
force a shaking up that proved decis-
lively it meant business. The result
has been to show that a lid can be
kept on when it is meant to stay on.
Louisville is a dry town on Sunday
now. There are scarcely any attempts
to tilt the "Iid." and these are speedily
checked by the police, who are exer-
cising the eternal vigilance that is the
price of a well fitting lid"
The mayor did more. He took the
police and fire departments out of
politics, started an investigation of
city institutions that revealed a fear
full condition of the city hospital, that
is being remedied; exposed and
stopped number of gratis and is now
having an investigation of the water
company, Louisville's prize municipal
institution, the affairs of which have
been carefully kept from the public
for 80 years and which is suspected Of
having been the scene of riotous ex-
travagance
A few days after Sheriff Bullitt en-
tered his office he assembled his force
of deputies. without saying where
they were going. piled them into auto
mobiles, dashed out to the pOOlrOoms,
raided them, arrested the operators
and stripped down the blackboards
and paraphernalia and closed the
doors. They have remained closed
tight since.
The cases of those arrested are
pending in the county court, where
Mr.. Page, the youthful county attOr-
ney, is prosecuting them as vigorously
as Sheriff Bullitt raided.
As the result of the vigorous work
Of these young men Louisville is en-
joying the best city government it
has known within the memory of a
generation.
The latest achievement of Mayor
Bingham and Sheriff Bullitt has been
to prevent a street car strike which
threatened the greatest industrial con
fict ever known here.

were many old magazines that their
owners had long wished to get rid Of.
Others gladly gave him the advertis-

they desired to retain the reading mat

Bunker called at the stores three
times a week. He supplied all busi-
ness houses with boxes into which
every scrap of paper was thrown
When he called there was no neces-
sity of annoying any one; he simply
cleaned out the box.
All alleys and outlying districts
were visited one Of the remaining
days of the week and were left in bet
ter shape than they had been found
for years.
The last day, Saturday, which was
too busy a day for both housekeepers
and stOrekeepers to be disturbed by
any one, Mr.. Bunker wisely devoted
to packing and binding his papers in
bundles to be ready for shipment.
Sabetha women and merchants
were rather enthusiastic over the at
tempt of Mr.. Bunker, which not only
assisted him, but disposed of the sum-
mer problem of what to do with pa

These appointments end a most in
ts-esIug competition in the army. In
both cases the president has ignored
the question of seniority, and selected
officers by no means at the top of
their respective grade. Gen. Duvall
stood number seven in the list of brig
adler generals of the line, and his
relative rank in that grade was num-
Der fourteen.
The six brigadiers of the line who
were passed over through Gen Du-

which has been filed by her TO any
large extent. During the first years
of equal suffrage it was the custom
to elect three women members TO
the legislature from the county OF
Arapahoe (Denver), but this is no
longer done. Neither of the last two
legislatures has had any women
members. In 1900 there were 20
women county superintendent elect

throughout the state one woman rep

have all been cavalry officers. On the
other hand. Gen. Duvall is from the
artillery and is the first from that arm
% hold the grade of major general,
except for the purpose of perfunctory
appointment in order TO secure an ad-
vance grade upon retirement, since
Gen. SchOfield relinquished it in 1895.
Another consideration said to have
Influenced Gen. DuvalIs preferment
was the fact that the infantry now has
the lieutenant generalcy and some of
the preceding lieutenant generals were
also from the infantry. which arm,
moreover, has always been regularly
represented in the grade of major
general.

Besides these considerations, which

were potent, for it is stated that the

HONESTY AS A POLICY,
Reflections of Prison Warder Whose
Wife Had Taken a Prisoners Cake.

Rather an original story comes from
the criminal prison at Warsaw, Rus
sia. A bOOkkeeper, named Schneider.
was awaiting his trial, being charged
with fraud AS his health was bad his
family sent him many little delicacies
unknown in the prison fare. delicacies
which, no doubt, the head waTder
shared with him.
The other day, among other things,
r huge iced cake appeared. The
warders children were fond of cake.
and so was his wife They therefore
determined to keep half of it for them
selves. Their surprise was great
when. upon applying a knife to the
dainty, it stuck just below the icing
and refused to go any further.
1T must be baked TO cinder," said
Mrs. Warder But her good man, sus-
pecting that something worse than
careless baking was responsible for
the cakes hardness, cut round the
sides, and was rewarded by finding a
revolver and seven cartridges buried
In the paste.
When brought up before the authOri.
ties Schneider confessed that he had
intended to shoot his guardians and
escape from prison before his trial.
After all said the warder, pensiveIy,
when he told his story, honesty is
not always the best policy. If my wife
had not cut into that cake / should
have been a dead man by now, for I

OLD PAPERS PAY HIS WAY.
Kansas Youths Unusual Way Of De-

Boston.-Ralph Bunker. a graduate
Of the Sabetha high school in Kansas,
took an unusual way of assisting in
defraying his expenses at Harvard
college for the ensuing year.
Several weeks ago. with the assist
ance of two or three little boys and
a homemade wagon, drawn by white
burro, young Bunker started the task
of collecting old papers and maya
zines for the paper mill of the Kansas
City Star. In a short space of time
he collected between three and four
tons of old papers in a town of 1000
inhabitants. Had he had more time

Habit of Rememherinn.

The habit Of remembering can be
acquired just as other habits are ac-
quired, until good memory becomes
a second nature. We can increase our
facility of recollection by concentrat-
ing the attention at the time we re-
eeive the impression, and then by re-
peatedly calling up the same idea af-
terward. just as child is taught the
multiplication table. Oft-repeated i'm
preston and recollection make the
memory automatic, aad, indeed, quite
independent O. consciousness.
