The Most Miserable Woman
in Europe

The Empress of Russia, known in her
own country as the czarina, is wife OF
the richest man in Europe. and perhaps
I'm the world, and she, herself, is the
Granddaughter of Queen Victoria of Eng
land, the greatest monarch of her time,
but all the same the czarlna is so miser-
able that it is believed that she is almost
If not quite insane-perhaps incurably in
sane.
Her dread of violence to herself and
children is morbid and terrorizing. She
trembles at every sound, and shrinks
from everyone's approach. She is afraid
to eat lest she be poisoned, and even the
clocks and furniture In her room may
hold dynamite bomb.
Her sister, that she loved to devotion,
married a Russian grand duke, and suf-
fered untold humiliation and cruelty at
his hands, yet this Alice, the czarina who
was raised partly in Queen Victoria's
palaces and loved England and her hap
py kindred, with the affection of warm
and tender heart, actually was glad TO
marry the ear, because of his power
and position, willing to live in the i'm
perial palace, although spies are every
where and dynamite the weapon of the
desperate men and women in tyrannical
Russia.
1t is understood that her fright and
terror are threatening her reason, and
she lives in constant dread of assassina-
ton.
What a life for the ailing mother OF
six children!
She sees in her children a continue
ton of her own experience and she might
we'll envy the peace of the poorest nome
In our country All her wealth is power
less to procure her rest or peace Of
mind. She is an absolute martyr to her
gilded luxury. 1t is said the car never
eats a mouthful of food that has not
been previously tasted by an expert, and
the czarina has seen pet dogs die after
eating victuals that had been brought
to her table.

! Detroit next month to attend the
meeting of the grand lodge. The
Cotton Pickers" are well known in
every city where a grand lodge con-
vention has been held within the past
few years, the organization having
won number OF valuable prizes for
unique displays in the parades.
This year the delegation will con-
sist of about seventy-fve members

RELIABLE jumps
ARE HARD TO GET
President Crowder Has Experimental
With a Goodly Bunch and is Still
Looking for Others.

President A. C. Crowder of the Cot
ton States League is certainly having
trouble with his umpire. He has had
seven men on the job in six days, and
two of the old men are still working,
while Mclaughlin, the third, is in
Jackson waiting for the other fellow
to tire of the job so he can get on
again.
Since the season opened President
Crowder has had enough umpires to
stock the league for two or three seas
ons. He started off with Cusach,
Mclaughlin and Mills. Of these only
Cusach remains. Mills fell down at
the first game at Vicksburg, and Hayes
was secured. There have been so
many kicks against Hayes that Presi-
dent Crowder decided to get rid of
him. Mclaughlin also went by the
i board last week, when an amateur
judge was called into play. McLaugh.
lin was off the joint two days and was
then reinstated.
He umpired a few games when
Hunt showed up and was put on Nc
Laughlin's job. Hunt seems destined
to stick. Monday morning Roberts,
another new man, blew in from that
dear old St. Louis. He umpired in
one game and was relieved. He made
a few bad decisions, but showed indi-
cations of developing into a good man.
But the bowls were so long and so
loud that Hayes, whom he supplant-
ed, was back on the job Tuesday
Bill Bruner,' an old ball player,
was handed job by Crowder last
week, but Bill" couldnt or wouldn't
stand the gait and laid down the in
dicator to try pitching again
Crowder is still casting AROUND FOR
umpires, and it is probable that Sam
LeRoque, the old time second sacker,
may draw job. Sam, in his day,
was noted for his wallop. He had
good eye and was regarded rs
one of the fastest second basemen in
the business. But Sam grew East
and West, lost his speed as his ro-
tundity increased, and took to first
base. But he could still hit
LaRoque has had experience as an
umpire, and it is believed he win
make good here. But if an umpire is
fired every time there is kick against
him it will soon be difficult to get
men to take a job in this circuit.
The fans are hard on the jumps.
His life in the Cotton States is a
white mans burden for sure. He
must fight the players on the field
and stand for the cussing of the bugs
off the field
The Cotton States opened its season
May %, and in that time President
Crowder has had no less than eight
men on his staff, an average of

June Term of Court.

The June term of the Washington
county circuit court convened yester-
day with Judge P. NJ Cashin on the
bench. The greater part OF the day
was consumed in the selection of the
grand jury. and the charging of the
same by the Judge.
Judge Cashin delivered his usual
strong charge to the grand jury, which
covered the greater portion of the VIC
lations of the laws, and called special
attention to the recent laws enacted
by the legislature. Particular stress
was laid upon the violation of the pro-
hibition law, and he cited the specific
cases of the steamboats, plying the
Mississippi River that have been sell
ing liquor along the Mississippi shore.
Attention was also called to the body
to investigate the care and treatment
of prisoners on the county farm.
The first two weeks of the term
will be devoted to civil business, and
will be followed by the regular GRIM
inal term. Aside from a few negro
murder cases there viii be little of
the sensational at this term. The
most important cases on the docket are
those of Ed Farrell, of the steamer
Sadie Lee, and Chas. Ruth, of the S.
B. Duncan, who were convicted in the
justice court few weeks ago on the
charge of Illegal retailing of liquor.
the cases having been appealed with
the intention of carrying them to the
