The carload of coal sent to Eureka
by the local railway company to help
out the present fuel shortage here.
arrived Monday and has been distri-
buted around during the week in
small lots-the maximum amount al
lowed any person being 500 pounds.
Several choppers recently commenced
cutting again in the nearby wood
districts, and with the teams being
prepared to haul this wood, it now
seems probable that the threatened
shortage in fuel brought about by
the long and extreme cold weather
will be relieved.

which he was supposed to say at the
request of his worshippers, and of all
the ladies. fair or unfair, who had cam

the wonderful things which he was con-
tinually telling them. He was eloquent
in a way and at the beginning of his
wonderful thaumaturgic existence had
not yet adopted the attitude which he
was to assume later on-of an idol,
whom every one had to adore.
He was preaching the necessity to
repent of ones sins, to make due PEN
ance for them after a particular man
ner, which he described as being the
most agreeable to God. and to pray con-
stantly and with unusual fervor for the
salvation of orthodox Russia. He con-
trived most cleverly to play upon the
chord of patriotism which is always so
developed in Russians, and to speak
to them of the welfare of their beloved
fatherland whenever he thought 1t adj
vantageous to his personal interests to
do So He succeeded in inspiring in his

small circle which had adopted him at
the beginning of his career. One fine
day a personal friend of the reigning
empress, Madame w. introduced him at
Tzarskoie Selo, under the pretext of
praying for the health of the small
heir to the Russian throne, who was
occasioning some anxiety to his par
ents. 1t was from that day that he
became a parsonage. r--.
His success at court was due TO the
superstitious dread with which he con-
trived to inspire the empress in re.
gard to her son. She was constantly
trembling for him, and being very re
ligiously inclined, with strong leanings
toward mysticism, she allowed herself
to be persuaded more by the people who
surrounded her than by Rasputin him
self. She believed that the monk, OF
whose holiness she was absolutely per-
suaded, could by his prayers alone OBJ
tain the protection OF the Almighty for
her beloved child. An accidental oc-
currence contributed to strengthen her
in this conviction There were persons
who were of the opinion that the pres
enee of Rasputin at Tzarskoie Selo was
not advantageous for many reasons
Among them was Mr.. Stolypne, then
minister of the interior, and he il was

advisable to return to his native viii

nary and innocent pleasures, exhaust
themselves by long fasting and wild
ecstatic religious exercises and abhor
marriage. Under the excitement caused
by their supposed holiness and inspira-

teachers and prophets, but also Sa-
viours, Redeemers, Christs, Mothers Of
God Generally speaking, they call
themselves simply gods and pray to
each other as 10 real gods and living
Christs and Madonnas. When several OF
these teachers come together at meet

vain, boasting way as to which of them
possesses most grace and power. In
this rivalry they sometimes give each

After due preparation prayers are read

QUEEN "LIIw DEAD.

The latest dispatches from Hawaii
tells US that the former occupant of the
throne in the Hawaiian Islands has
passed away. When the United States
government took over these islands she
contended for her throne, which she
was at liberty to do, but she was de-
feated in the effort
1t was a thrilling time for this dusky
old woman, and President Cleveland sent
Hon. James H. Blount a resident of
Macon, Ga, as a special envoy to de-
eide upon the right and wrong of Queen
LIS claims. 1t was an expensive mis-
sion to our government but the white
settlers of Hawaii were insistent for a
settlement of the dispute.
They said she had no legal claim to
any throne and was only an inheritor
of her uncle's claim, who was smart
enough to see place for promotion and
to reach for it. They said there would al
ways be strife over there while this
dark-hued woman could boss the JOB
1t was quite a surprise when the envoy
returned with a plea in the colored
woman's behalf, and 1t created such a
rumpus here and in Honolulu that Mr..
Cleveland could not face the music, bur
1t gave Queen Lii great hopes, of course.
To make long story short. she was
excluded from the throne and a white
mans government was proclaimed, under
the protectorate of, The. United States,
which has proven a great success in a
commercial way.
The deposed queen was intensely en-
Filtered against the United states. She
hated us with a bitter hatred for many
long years. She game over and pleaded
her case in Washington, but she failed,
of course She has a kinsman, how
ever. who IS a delegate in the United
States congress from Hawaii. The other
congressman call him prince, and when
they take trip to the islands he is a
lavish entertainer and profuse in his
hospitality. The old lady had been Ill
