HIGH JINks IN RUSSIA
Moscow, Where the Money is, 10 the
Scene Of Freakish Excesses
(London OutlooiS)

(London Outlook)
II you would see the rich Russia Of
the middle classes spending her money
in luxury and meaningless excesses
you should go to manufacturing Mos
COW. There is the money. There they
made II and there they spend It.
There is, indeed, fairly close approx
imation OF the life OF the people of
this class and the millionaire descend
ants OF the early millionaires OF the
United States.
Some of the hest judges declare that
even IN Paris the Moscow Ways of
preparing food are hardly bettered.
"Cochon de luit Moscovite," or suck.
ing-pig is seen on nearly every dinner
table. Hundreds of these young pigs
only about week old and ready for
the oven are seen in every market,
and they are roasted whole as bird
would ne.
Caviar is served with specially made
little >oakes, crisp and dainty. But
better than this Is the sterlet Which
the epicures Of the world know to be
the finest eating fish. 1t is a condi-
ton for the enjoyment OF the sterlet
that II should be eaten fresh, and at
one of the chief restaurants in Moscow
the sterlets are kept in tank, and
the diner catches his own from 1t and
has 1t cooked for him.
We 10 not have sterlets In London,
but they have been as far as Paris,
for the Cars chef, Cubat. got them
there by filing their gills with bread
crumbs which had been soaked In
brandy. They were unconscious dur
ing the Journey, but revived when
placed in water again In Paris.
The cellars of Moscow contain the
best vintages of wine that are known,
and the prices do justice to the vim
tages rs they do in no other capital
So to cine la mode In Moscow is to
dine at cost.
One might instance the case OF a
highly intelligent trained bear, that
thought and counted. II was seen at
exhibition by one OF the prodigals,
bought for very large sum and or
dered TO be cooked for dinner party.
The only doubt in the matter arose
some months afterwards, when the
owner had another performer which he
said he had tr'ined In the meantime,
but which somc people considered
had peculiar resemblance to the
one that was believed 10 have been
eaten.
Then there was host who took
out all the wires and works from a
highly expensive grand piano. stopped
up all the holes inside. and then
poured in champagne until It was full
and set a sufciency OF sterlets swim
ming in 1t, leaving the guests to come
and taIe their own in the usual way
There is another example In the
casual visit to one OF the rich young
bloods TO certain cafe chantant o. .
superior kind, where Il small bale
was in progress, Young Dives had the
restautant cleared of tables and chairs
sent ont for caviar and had It pastet
oil over the floor until there was no
an incn that was not black with Il
And then by instruction. and at
price, the girls OF the ballet In thei
pretty coftumes came on to this foo
and lay down on 1t. and rolled frou
one side Of the room to the other,
OF course this sort OF thing Is m
more renresentative OF Russian If
in general, or Moscow llfe in particl
lar, thGn are the freaks OF some OF tn
New York rich.

CHAUFFEUR FINDS CORPSE.
Dead Man Evidently Beaten to Death
and Buried in sand.

Pratt, Kan, June 19.=Whi1e driv-
ing his auto from Pratt to Cunning
ham last evening Ed Maxedon, chauf-
feur, stopped at the Ninnescah river,
five miles east of Pratt to get some
water for his engine. On the bank
within few feet of where he dipped
his water bucket, Maxedon noticed the
legs of man extending from a sand
pile which partially covered them and
the remainder of the body.
Making further investigation.
Maxedon saw that the legs belonged
to a dead man. The head was resting
in the water and was broken into an
almost unrecognizab mass.
Turning his car, Chauffeur Maxedon
rushed back to Pratt and got the
coroner.
Beside the dead man was a hole
from which sand had been taken by a
spade and heaped upon his face and
upper body No effort had been made
to cover the lower extremities. The
head and face presented a sickening
sight. There were deep gashes and
cuts and the skull was fractured in
many places. A severed watch fob
and pockets turned inside out demon
strated that robbery had been at least
one reason for the murder.
There is no clue to his identity.

is NOT so FUNNY.
Serious Fire Might Break Out
at Time.
Captain CaWker PrOtestsAgainst
Such ThOughtlessness.
Who turned in the alarm?

Who turned in the alarm?
Inc answer to this question is deSir-
ed by the dremen of station No. 1. An
alarm was sent in at 1888 o'clock Sun
day afternoon which sent the firemen
to a smoldering blaze in the butt of
boxelder tree in the 400 block of North
Kansas avenue. The tree was out on
the edge of the sidewalk and the fire.
men are of the opinion that the call
was unnecessary, that it was meant
for a dull day Sunday joke in fact.
In this connection it is stated that
a well known North side man saw a
small smudge smouldering in the de-
cayed butt of the tree and suggested TO
a woman companion that she turn in
the alarm Just for fun.
Now the firemen at station No. 1 are
a Jovial set and appreciate a joke as
we'll as any one. However, for several
reasons they do not care to make runs,
heat up the horses on hot afternoons
just for exhibition purposes. Then
they bear in mind the fact that the
hremen from No. 3 have to come over
to station No. 1 whenever the North
side station men are called out. And
this morning the fire boys are saying
how. much damage from delay might
have been caused had a serious fire
broken out on the North side when
the men were away from the station to
attend to a near joke fire.
I don't know that we could do any
thing to the person who sent in the
alarm, but 1 would like to know just
the same,'' said William Cawker, act
ing as captain in place of G. H. Car
rett, who is on the sick list. This
came being near a false alarm. There
was only a small smudge smouldering
in the butt of the tree and any one
with any sense ought to have known
that it could have been put out by
hand There was no danger of any
thing catching fire. The tree was well
way out on the sidewalk away from any
house.
I'VE are often called to put out fire
in trees, resulting from crossing of
electric wires in the branches, but
there is some excuse then, but to call
out the iremen just for a joke-peopie
should stop to think what might hap
pen if a serious fire should break out
when the firemen are away from the
station. The delay in getting the real
call might mean several hundred dollars
more damage to the property in real
danger
