st. Petersburg, August 27.-(Special.)-
The Gear is very seriously worried over
the health of the Czarina and decided to
doctors say she has chance to recover
her health partially at least.
The decision of the Car to travel with
his consort to foreign country is recog
nized as very grave foreboding, in view
of repeated statements to the effect that
the malady OF the empress has reached
it's final stage. Friedberg, where the
Gear and Czarina will stay, is within Is
minutes drive of Nnuheim. The palace,
since the Duke Ludwig w. died, has not
since occupied and extensive preparations
are being made to make 1t ready to re-
ceive the imperial visitors. A hundred
rooms were made ready at Friedberg and
a full contingent of secret police have ar
rived from Darmstadt and Frankfurt and
are subjecting all visitors and foreigners
to a close scrutiny. According to present
arrangements their maJesties stay will
last six weeks.
1t Is probable that while away the
Car will receive a visit from Kaiser
Wilhelm and the two monarchs will dis
cuss the Balkan situation.
The statement is frequently made that
the Cars civil list is $5,000,0O0.
The fact is that the Emperors of Rus
sla have no civil list, as they draw ad
lib. on the imperial treasury, every rouble

said that during the year before his as

Poiteness is private diplomacy. and we

would like to tell the Ssuth to others

breeds cowardice.
In short, politeness is but euphemism
for fiattery, deceit, sycophancy and

petty official named Kasimireff, carried
her off by force.
The next day, after a fierce struggle in
which several of the briSands were
wounded. the girl was rescued. But
Kasimireff. terrified by the bandits sub
sequent threats, determined to migrate
from the town. Hussein seized this as
an opportunity for revenge. As Kasim-
reff, his wife and three daughters were
driving to their destination, they were
swooped upon by his band of cut-throats
and hurried off to the hills, where the
father and mother were told to prepare
for death. The elder girls were given
the choice between death and entering
Hussein's harem, a chance of escape
which both refused. "Agafya," said the
bandit. 'is reserved for a better fate
, The four victims were then roped to-
gether and placed in leaking boat,
which was towed into the middle of a
small lake. AS the boat settled down the
wretched family prayed and sang hymns,
while the brigands jeered and threw
stones on them. For an hour they chung
to the boat, but as each sank the bur-
den upon the survivors became greater,
and finally all disappeared.
Three days later Agafya, rescued in a
pitiable' condition by soldiers, told a very
pathetic story which was related above.
Very pathetic is story that comes
from Krasnobred, in the government of

months ago the mother paid a visit to

the need of good roads. Difficult
ty has been found in the absence
Of legislation and pecuniary aid
by the State to the parishes. The
State should bui d the main thor
oughfares through each parish,
the State engineers should locate
all roads, and State and Parish
convicts should do the work.
The Message Recommends:
Sale of the penal farms except
at Angola, and the erection of a
sugar factory there.
Further legisla ton fer the con-
servation Of game and the State
forests, and the protection of
streams from pollution.
Laws to suppress of the words
"of the c,oored races" for "of the
negro races" to remedy the con-
cubinage act.
A law requiring executions to
be in the State penitentiary at
Baton Rouge.
Consolidation Of boards having
germane duties.
The proposed Panama EXPOSE
ton is cordially Endorsed. and the
Legislature advised to submit a
tax amendment to the people.
The Governor strongly urges a
constitutional amendment empow-
ering the Dock Board to build and
operate warehouses TO house, pro-
tect and handle cotton and other
products.
Review Of the State institutions
show, in spite Of the high cost of
living, decrease in the per cap
tia cost Of their maintenance due
to the scrupulous attention of
their arrangements and the excel
lent work of the travelling audi
tor. The Governor briefly re-
views the conditions in each in
stitution.
1t is recommended that the
property Of the Southern Univers-
ity in New Orleans be Sold and a
new site acquired in the country
fer the industrial education Of the
negro.
The Governor closes with an adj
monition to the Legislature to OBJ
serve strict economy in the max
ing of appropriations and with a
reference to the perfect harmony
between every branch Of the State

PRETTY LITTLE LIFE STORY

Here is a pretty story from life
told by the Morril (Kan.) News.
"He was the worst boy in school,
she was the teacher. She was
angered by his stubborness; he
was defiant. She took him to the
hall for punishment, angrily she
administered the penalty and then
somehow q great wave of pity for
the boy swept over her. She
looked at the worn coat of the
little fellow; she thought Of the
frail little body deprived OF
nourishing food; she thought Of
the hard and loveless home and
of the starved soul, of the little
fellow. Tears sprang into the
teachers eyes as the boy waited
for further punishment. Then he
saw her tears. His own eyes grew
moist and overflowed. Thinking
of how the poor boy had no chance
in the world, with an impulse of
love, she put her arms around the
boy and they cried together.
That is religion. She and the boy
found It. =

NOW A BANKRUPT.

Crowley, La, May 12.-With
liabilities amounting to $29O,OOO
and assets amounting to only
$4,000. w. w. Duson, founder
of Crowley in 1897 was today adj
judged bankrupt. His real estate
holdings decreased greatly in the
panic of 1907, and since that time
he has contended continuously
against financial troubles, so that
his failure was not surprise.
When the panic set in he is esti-
mated to have been worth 81 $780,
600.
His liabilities amount to $780,
900, with assets Of $220,OOO.

We are in receipt Of the first

We are in receipt Of the first
annual report Of the Board of
Commissioners of Louisiana for
! the protection of birds. game and
i fish which is replete with valu-
able information. Those sufficient
ly interested and desiring a copy
of the proceedings can secure same
by addressing Hon. Frank NJ. Mil
Ter, New Orleans. We herewith
append from the report the fol-
lowing:
! "The planters and farmers of
! this State have been called upon
to pay most stupendous loss on
account of the depredations of the
boil WeevI.
We believe the pest can be driv-
en- out of the Stale by a rigid
enforcement Of the law protect
! ing insectivorous birds.
| We believe that this is the most
important work the State game
wardens can be called upon to
perform and we urge the import
ance of it upon those whose well
fare depends upon the land.
The fisheries Of the State are
capable to indefinite extension.
We believe the State ought at
once to build and equip one or
more catfish and game fish hatch
eres on the Atchafalaya and 9TH
er rivers, so that fully two hun
dred and fifty millions of the
young of such fish might be
placed in the rivers and streams
of the State annually. This
would mean returns of millions OF
dollars from the markets OF the
world.
We believe the State ought to
and is morally bound to her cit
zens to increase the game found
in the State, so that it might be-
come aa abundant and inexpensive
food supply. We therefore urge
| the operation of game preserve
in each parish so that the depleted
stock may be re-established at the
earliest possible moment.
The presence of Game on the
farm should be recognized as
set. The hunting privilege can
be sold and the breeding of quail
and other game for sale in the
markets should engage the best
thought of the Commission and
the planter working harmonious
lily together to make better sport
and more of it.
Louisiana Shrimp and Diamond
back Terrapirf are the finest in
the world. We believe they
should be shipped out Of the
State and sold-as such.
We believe that the marvellous
natural resources of the State OF
Louisiana should be developed to
the furthest possibility and we
commit the Board Of Commission
ers for the Protection of Birds.
Game and Fish to that sacred
trust which belongs to the whole
people exclusively.
We ask the assistance OF the
men. women and children of the
State who are like minded to aid
an united attempt to carry out
this work to it's full fruition.
