The most annoying part OF the expert

attitude OF the ofYicials. The Russian
government does not want strangers to

shall develop the material wealth Of its
Asiatic provinces.
The reasons for this policy Of exclu-
siveness are sound from the Russian
point OF view. In the first place, the Rus
slams want Turkestan for themselves as
market for their manufactured goods
and as source of supply for their raw
material and every dollars worth of
merchandise that is sold by q German
or an Enelishman Is so much out OF a
Russian pocket.
In the second place, the Russian GOV
eminent does not want the natives inter
fered with. It's policy from the beginning
OF the conquest has been to protect and
perpetuate the native customs, habits
and conditions and to encourage the ma
tives to go on as they are--illiterate, su-
perstitious. Anticipated in methods and
primitive in habits. 1t will not tolerate
intruders or visitors who will make trou-
BILE or ask questions, and there Is q
chronic apprehension lest the British or
the Germans will find out something that
they can use to Russia's disadvantage.

WACERS ALL AND LOSES,
THEN COMMITS SUICIDE
Officer in Austrian Army
Makes Vain Effort to Re-
gain Fortune.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.


VIENNA, August 9. 1910.
One of the most extraordinary cases of
suicide known, in recent years has taken
place at a well known racing stable near
here. The victim was Lieut. Karl Gold
schmidt, an ofYicer in an Austrian hussar
regiment, and well known in racing cir
cles as a gentleman rider.
For some time it has been known that
Lieut.. Goldschmidts financial position
was practically desperate. and he was
suspected of plunsing heavily on race
courses with the object of restoring his
more deeply involved is now. known for
certain, but IL was thought recently. that
he had tided over the worst Evidently
he was reduced to one final desperate
effort. and this he put into operation and
lost.
Wagers All on Race.
All his remaining fortune he put on a
horse running at Kottingbrunn races.
Had it won he would have been re-estab-
lished. But what II IL lost
This possibility he had not forgotten.
and he made the most elaborate prepara-
lions for suicide. He bought an ana
tomical diagram OF the human body, in
heart. This diagram he studied care
fully before q mirror. and marked the
position of his own heart by its aid.
The race started. and the unhappy lieu
tenant followed IL with obvious anxiety
and intense excitement. Gradually he
saw, TO his horror. that his horse was
outmatched. but he still watched, in the
hope that it would possibly pull of the
race at last.
Makes Haste to End Life.
But all his hopes were doomed TO dis
appointment, and when there was no
longer the least doubt that his horse was
| beaten he turned hurriedly from the
course and entered a motor car.
Driving home at a terrific pace, he
sprang from the car, ran to his bedroom
and undressed before a mirror Then
taking q last look AT the anatomical
, chart. and again fixing the exact position
| OF his heart. he shot himself dead
When he was found lying before the
mirror the chart was at his side.

Aeroplane Makes Big Leap.

In another instant the aeroplane struck
the ground short distance from one Of
the steeplechase jumps. As the wheels
cut into the long grass the biplane bound
Cd upward with terrific speed. making a
leap through the air that brought il down
al the north end Of the field within three
feet of a fence used for the steeplechase
races. Ahead of Post were two other
fences.
Post realized the danger and being UNI
able to make a short stop he again used
MS gliding planes barely in time to clear
the second fence. He was almost on the
ground when he skinned over the third
fence and started upward - p

First Flight in Public.

In the presence of 1.ofo spectators who
had gone 10 the race track for the first
meeting OF the three-day aviation con-
test Post announced he would make his
first public flight in the Curtiss biplane,
which was recently christened the Sky
lark. The anemometer registered a varia-
bic wind of from six to fifteen miles an
hour near the ground. while the flag
above the grandstand was stretched be-
fore brisk northwest breeze.
Before the Skylsrk had been given its
final inspection Mars and Ely made short
fights TO test the air currents. In one Of
these flights Mars carried Post as pas
senger. Fascinated by the trial Post threw
of his coat and took his scat in his own
hiplane. which had been set UP al the
south end of the field. Then he called to
the mechanics 10 start the motor.
The biplane shot forward, the skid
wheels touching only the high places for
nearly 2G0 yards. At a point almost OPP
posite the grandstand spectators saw
Post raise his gliding planes. The aero
plane scared fifty feet in the air at an
angle of almost forty-five degrees.
The man is going 10 be hurled to the
ground: hurry up, boys cried Mars as
he saw the biplane turn on a downward
plunge.

Opposed to Enlightenment.

The moral effect Of the policy that has
prevailed since the conquest is TO leave
the natives precisely as they are--to Rus
sofy. but not TO eniighten them II In
based upon the theory that their present
condition is satisfactory and sufficient,
and that any change will endanger their
happiness and welfare. The advocates
and defenders OF this non-progresstve, let

natives point to the political unrest in

Good Russian Schools.

There are good schools for the children

but the natives supply their own. which
have described in two or three previous
letter. The mullahs who teach them are
iiliterate: they can scarcely read anything
except the Koran, and they have no
knowledge whatever of modern learning
or methods of education. They do not
know the difference between New York
and London, or between an American and
an Englishman. All foreigners look alike
to them and are barbarians.
The Russian government does not pro-
hibit native children from attending the
schools that are furnished for the inhab-
itants Of the Russian towns. and admits
them free of tuition, but particular pains
is taken to impress them with the great
ness and the goodness and the far-reach-
ing authority Of the car. In other words,
they are Russofled as thoroughly as pos
sible.
Under the direction OF the holy synod,
the orthodox Greek priests are doing q
good deal Of missionary work among the

der the direction of bishops. and the ter
ritory is divided between them. They
work indirectly, chiefly through hospi-
tails. dispensaries and educational institu-
tons. very much as the American board
