Ills Book

From the Philadelphia Times.
 He was very old, and he scrambled into the ''pay-as-you-enter' car with diff culty. Once safely inside he seated him self in the corner of the car and began to read
 The car bumped it's way along Walnut street, past Broad past Rintenhouse Square. Not once did the old man look up. He was absolutely buried in his book, to which he gave the absorbed at tention of a scholar.
 At Fffty-fourth and Spruce streets the old man cast a startled glance out of the window, got up, and hobbled to the front of the car. On the way he dropped his book, and several passengers had a chance to see the title before it was picked up and given back to its owner.
 The volume which had so absorbed the octogenarian was Jack Spot, the Young Highway Robber; or the Desperate of Devils Gulch."

TOlstoi as BoOtmaker

From the Westminster Gazette.
 Many who have never read line of Tolstoi know that the count. with his peculiar notions of work, makes his own boots. MT. Aylmer Maude, in his latest instalment of Tolstois biography just published quotes an incident in that con nection:
 AS to the boots Tolstoi made, I asked a man to whom he had given pair, and who had worn them, whether they were well made. Couldn't be worse, was the reply"
 T suspect" adds Mir. Maude, and the average reader will nod assent, that Tolstoi's bootmaking was of more value as spiritual sedative than it was as a contribution to the solution of the eco- homie problem

Puccinfs fla nous opera La Boheme' next Mon day evening. Mail orders from out-of town music lovers are still pouring into the Shubert box office. The immense seating capacity of the Orpheum theatre has caused change In the price sched- ule, and this is greeted by local en- thusiasts with a great deal of satisfac- tion Owing to the unfortunate fact that Mascagni was unable to complete the score of his new opera ''Ysebel,' the Messrs Lieber & Co.,, were for few days recently in something of a dilemma with a company of over 150 artists on their hands and nothing for them to do. Puccini landed in New York to produce his new opera, "The Girl of the Golden West" at the Metropolitan opera house, and being a warm friend and admirer of Miss Abott, gallantly offered to allow her to use his two favorite operas, La Be- hemer and Madame Butterfly in both of which the company had been trained. With a stroke of a pen he solved the difficulty and helped not only his friend, Mascagni, but also the charming prima donna. who had often herself placed him under obligations in the past.

Forced to Take Hand TO
Prevent BIoodshed.

Lemburg, Austria.--The two groups

The feud, born of racial Jealousy, is
as old as the university itself and
periodical fights have occurred. For
some time the bitter feelings have
been held in bounds by the univer-
sity authorizes, but Friday morning
they broke out with renewed fury and
led to fierce battle for the posses
sion OF the camp.
Hundreds Of students were in
volved. Many of them were armed
with revoivers and these were used
freely. When the firing bgan, a strong
force Of police was summoned and the
fight became three-cornered affair.
The officers finally succeeded in driv-
Ing the students to cover. Broken
heads were the rule, but in numerous
Instances injuries Of a grave nature
were found to have been inflicted.
