How Anarchists Work,

A Russian Journal tells the story
of how the murderer Of General Lun-
nitz, prefect OF st. Petersburg. OBJ
tained admission to the semi-oftictal
party at. which the deed was COM
mitted. After the crime all the
guests were detained and their tick
cts were examined. There was one
ticket the rightful owner OF which
was not present. It. was no other
than that Of Premier Stolypin him
self. The murder was committed
under cover Of the invitation ticket
OF no less a parsonage than the Prime
Minister. The Premier had not been
able to go and bis ticket fell into the
hands of member OF the secret 2o-
lice named Nakolene. He resold 1t

REV. JONES' PRESENTATION.

The Hon. Charles V. D. Jolme, judge
| ot the Court of Common Pleas Of Cam
ldeu county, NJ J., contributed the fol-
lowing story to a number which. had
lbeen told at a meeting of the Histori-
cal Society, relating to the confusion
of ideas which sometimes resulted from
ian effort Of fhe primitive mind to-
grasp abstract ideas:
During war tlmes,i' said the judge,
"the city Of Trenton, where l then
}lived, was a red-hot abolition town,
and those who did not fight. devoted
their time at home to patriotic decIa-
nation 80 ,'.--f @l"3a - s..a.i
"Among the most violent Of these
was an old fellow whom we called
Major Howard. The colonel was
lless bitter against the threatened sew
ering of the Uion than he was about
the wrongs of the. black man, and! the
negroes for miles around looked upon;
the old abolitionist as their potent sa-
viour, efeelingly' firmly convinced that
| it was through his oratorical efforts
that the war had been begun and was
maintained. - ,;G'"' oi -.

prised OF the movement and promised

as follows: 'f =.

are wastes of sagebrush growing Ill

The reading of the telegram was
the greatest hit in the line OF
humor of the evening.
Mayor Pratt was not present.
Some say that he did not even re-
ceive an invitation. but this is
hardly correct, as his name was on
the program.
If the mayor has any intention
of making the race for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor two
years hence it might be said that
the little incident last night, while
brought up in fun, was a decided
chill for the mayors political ambi-
tions.
