Wauner Fooled the Critics.

Here is a story of Wagner's visit
to London in 1855: After the first Phil
harmonic concert the critics re-
preached him for conducting a Bee
thoven symphony without the score.
At the second concert, to satisfy his
audience, Wagner had a partition"
on his desk, which he frequently con-
suited. The critics declared the i'm
provement was marked. The score,
however, was Rossini's Barber de
Seville" 2

Gen, Trepoff. one time chief of the st.
Petersburg police, ranks with the most
famous detectives in the Russian empire.
He was in control of the secret service
department Of the police of st. Peters
burg during the lawless period extending
from 1875 to 1880. He seems to have been
successful in this difficult position be-
cause he won the warm commentator of
the car, and at the same time, the
hearty detestation of the people. His
immediate predecessor was assassinated
and his own life was in danger on more
than one occasion. Vera Zassolic, a young
nihilist, shot at him while he was seated
in his office in the early part of 1880.
Trepoff was seriously injured but re-
covered and soon after that was honored
by the car who made him a councillor
of state.)

is reminded that for a period of
years the nihilists of that unhappy
country had been making determined
efforts to take the life Of the emperor.
Only three months before it was an
nounced that the czar, while out hunt
ing, met with an accident in which
he was seriously injured. 1t is signif-
cant that several persons who were
the scene Of the accident were
Immediately arrested. One was hanged
and the other transported to Siberia.
Again there had been an accidental"
explosion in the Winter palace while
the car was attending a state din
ner. Nothing ever came of this incl
dent although it was proven later that
nihilists had entered the palace dis
Guised as plumbers.
Now, however, it was believed in
high official circles that the country
was to enter upon an era of internal
peace. The emperor issued a mani
festo of Cancellation. Arrears of taxes
were RENTED; certain criminals were
released from prison; exiles to ST.
IBERIA had their life sentence COM
muted to 20 years of prison servitude.
The nihilists, IN hearing this, were
passive but unsatisfied. They had
clamored for certain constitutional
rights which were denied them.
Nevertheless, it was determined by
lNHnia1lnO1 that tho o1o, 1bo,,Jl aNIo
brate the return of the era of good
feeling by a public appearance in the
capitol of the nation. The time agreed
upon was Sunday, March 10, 1887.
Five days before that date a cadet
in one of the military schools-a
young man with royal blood in his
veins, and a prince of a reigning house
Of Europe-killed himself. The tragic
act was attributed to melancholia due
to a hopeless love affair. 1t would be
supposed that a small romance Of
this sort would be left to the district
police.
Not so. At this stage of the nara
tive there enters upon the scene M.
Trepoff, a general in the army, the
chief Of the secret police of st. Peters
burg, and one Of the favorites of the
car. He was a burly man, brusque in
and not over nice in his
methods, Hated by the people, he
treated their attitude with supreme in
difference. Whatever his disposition,
he possessed the unerring instincts of
the real detective. His investigation of
the little cadets suicide was charac.
REALISTICALLY prompt. 1t developed a
startling fact. 1t can be stated in a
single sentence.
The nihilists of st. Petersburg had
determined to assassinate the car or
Sunday, March 10, 1887.
One of the f~unctionaries attached tc
the palace heard rumors Of the plot
and rushed to Gen. Trepoff.
1T is unsafe for his majesty to ven
ture out. Shall we countermand the
order for the procession"
The chief of the secret service an
swered with an expression of annoy
ance:
The program is to be carried out a.
arranged-down to the smallest de
tail"
But"
Trepoff interrupted the speaker b,
banging his heavy fist on the desl

= Ex-Auditor of State e. A. Bennett,

commemorate the first battle Of the
Civil War. The idea will commend
itself to public spirited citizens
West Virginia took an active and 1t
might be said almost a decisive part
In the early struggles Of the war.
The sturdy loyalty to the Union of
the counties now comprising the
state Of West Virginia did much to
encourage the entire North. and the
active cooperation of our Union
sympathfzers greatly facilitated the
movements of Union soldiery.
Philippi was not decisive battle,

great struggle was shed. The event
may well be commemorated for the

ANOTHER SPECTRE.

4 Fhe1 strongest and, perhaps, the
moet fruitful argument used by the
y Rtohibitionists in the Southern states
nthat many of the evils brought on
the Negroes by the excessive use of
whiskey will be eliminated, but, it
NOW appears, that though most of
these states are ''ory," evil condi-
tion are growing. that new dan
ser.''a hundred fold graver than the
former. now confronts Dixieland.
The cocaine habit. which has been
found to be to America what opium
is to China and hemp to India, has
been making terrible inroads among
the ignorant Negroes, and since the
sale Of whiskey has been prohibited,
has sdevelopod into a new and omt-
nous phase Of the race problem at
the south. Even in the cities, where
sotnS attempts are made to enforce
the law, the habit Is spreading, but
with; nothing like the rapidity Of it's
growth on the plantations and in the
railroad and ievee construction
camps, where contractors sell cocaine
witM as little compunction as they
punch the l&borers' script for corn
meal or bacon.
Cocaine now ranks with whiskey

= ALREADY among the fiends and

them, there is talk Of the new

dealers in the drugs, retailers, and
perhaps wholesalers also. Every
'flend', it should be added, is more
than likely to be a peddler Of the
stuff taking his commission in the

new flend' is among the brutalized
Negroes of the South, who. denied
easy access to liquor by the prohibi-

as a substitute -.
The commission quotes from
Hanapton's Magazine an article by
Judge Harris Dickson, of Vicks-
burg, Miss, who told of a contract
or who ordered a pound of cocaine,
to the establishment of the salesman
to whom the order was given, who ex-
postulated, saying:
