PARTB, Oct. ..--Among tho mo?t dlstln
gulfc-hod visltors who havo recently stop
ped In thln clty ls Prlnco Colonna, tho
Mayor of Rome, who has now left hero
ln order to return to Rome to start the
first preparations for tlie reception of
tho Czar, which wlll surpajvs the recep?
tion given by the Eternal Clty to any
monaroh. i
The docoratlon of tho Vla Nazlonale
and the I/Esedrc will bo more slmplc
but much more effectlve than thoy were
at the tlme of tho reception of Emperor
William.
? Accordlng- to tho old Russian custom
a delegatlon of the members ot tho Rus?
sian colony In Romo wlll meet the Czar
at the depot nnd hand hlm bread and
Mlt on a golden tray.
In honor of the Czar the munlclpality
? ol Rome wlll glvo a great gala solrco,
which will take placo in the Theatre
Costanzl, Iiocause this theatre Is tho
nearest to thc Qulrlnol. Tho programme
has not yet been Ilxed.
It had flrst beon Intended to glve a re?
ception to tbe Czar on the Capitolium,
but thls idea has been given up, as the
royal carrlages, to reach the Capitolium,
would have to pass through streets in
vhich it would be almost Imposslble to
guard the Czar agalnst atterapts on hls
life.
There la a baro posslblllty, however,
tbat some entortalnment wlll be glven to
the Czar on thc Capitolium, as he has
oxpro.'iwd a wlsh to soo thc Porum illu
.?nlnatcd wlth Bengal lights from the hlll
of :hu t.hitorl.nl old fortress.
Jeanno d'Arc.
If tho Papal Court at Rome declares
Jeanne d'Arc enllsted among tho saints,
?nhlch wlll probably happon In the very
near futuro, theru Ie qulte n good deal
ot guepsing rolng on ns to what day In
the'year wlll t>o dedlcated to the patron
saint of Franco.
It Is true that the present government
rtoos not belle\e very much in saints or
sa-.ctity. but tho great majority of the
French people wlll expect a certaln day
In the yoar asslgne/i to tbe new saint,
and they will celebrate It wlth all thelr
. ohl-time fervor.
It wlll, therefore, undoubtedly be ne?
cessary evon tor the present athelstlc
government to fix a certaln legal holiday
In honor of Jeanno d'Arc, as it has al?
ways beon dono by the government In
elmllar cases.
Tho numbor of logal holldays In Franco
at the presont tlmo Is small compared
to other Cathollc countrles.
Bonaparto, ns flrst consul, proclaimod
Christmas Day, the day of the A-scenslon
and All Saints' Day n.s legal holldjrys.
Now Year's Day has been a legal French
holiday sinco the passago of a law by tho
government ln 1R10.
The law of the 6th of July. 1SS0, de?
clared the 11th of July, the anniversary |
of the\itormtng of tho Bastlle, and the
Rundn.ys of Easter nnd Whltmintldo legal j
holldays.
No matter how llttlo lnclincd M. '
Combes may feel to Institute a new rellg- I
lous holiday, thero seems to bo no escape
for hlm.

BKRL.IN, Octohor 3.?Russian polltical
exlles report that polltical prlsoners con?
tlnue to be tortured ln that terrible Rus?
sian prlson known as the Schlusselburg
fortress. i
What rcaly goos on there-nobody knows,
tot tbe secrets of this terrible prlson aro
guarded zealously, and fow prlsoners ever
escape allve. i
No vlsitors are over permltted to onter
this terrible prlson, and the world, even
iu Russla, knows little or nothlng about
lt.
! Up to August, 18&I, polltical offenders
j who were regarded by the Russian Gov
I ernment as belonglng to the most dan
I gerous category, were conllned In tho
Fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul, on tho
! banks of the Neva, In St. Petersburg,
rlth.r ln the Trubetzkol Bastlon or ln
another Isolated building known as the
Alexelelevsky Rovelin.
! The chief warders llvo ln almost equally
cloce confincment within those preclncts,
belng seldom allowed to go out, and they
recelved thelr orders dlrect from the chief
of the secret pollce, ov.r the heads of
the Governor nnd offlcers of the fortress.
The isolatlon of the prlsoners con?
demned to thoso "llvlng tombs" appeared
to be complete. But a certaln Nechaeff,
nfter many years' detentlon, contrived to
eetabllsh relatlons with the outslde world.
When thls was dlscovered _ome of the
warders wero sent to Slberla. Nechaeff
was executed, and the famous fortress of
Schlusselburg, on a little Island in Lake
Ladoga, near to where the Neva flows
' out of It, was converted Into the chief
State prlson for polltical offenders.
I It Is the only prlson where the con?
demned are deprlved of seelng thelr near?
est relatlves, such as father and mother,
whlle in tho Schlusselburg. from the be
ginnlng up to the present tlme?I. o., for
; nineteen years, no such intervlews havo
been allowed."
! In 190) one of tho prlsoners (Popoff)
. asked for permlsslon to see his old moth
; er, who had wrltten to hlm that she want
I ed to see her son, lf only once, before she
dled.
| Thls was refused, although Popoff ls
! now completlng tho twenty-flrst year of
'? hls Imprisonment.
i Correspondence between the prlsoners
! and thelr nearest relatlves is, lndeed. al
I lcwed, but under very strlngent condi
, tlons?namely, not more than two letters
a year. the slzo of tho lotter notto ex
I ceed one sheot of note paper; the corre
j spondent may touch only on his health,
occupatlon and family affairs.
In no case ls any alluslon to the prlson
! allowed. Even Its name must not bo
j mentloned.
After having been examlned, and lf
passed by tho local authorltles, the let
I ter Is sent for a second examinatlon to
j tho Department of Pollce, which detalns
I some of the letters every year, notwlth
i standing tho absolutely harmless nature
j of thelr contents.
I Of the flfty-nlne persons conflned In thls
| prlson slnce 1S84, elght wero executed,
two shot for having struck at oflicinls,
1 three transferred to lunatlc asylums, two
| sent to Snghatln Island to serve out thelr
| term, three committed suicide, thirteen
dled and twelve were sent Into exile and
fourteen are stlll ln prlson.
Sees the Circus.
The Empress took tho little Prlncess
Vlctoria to Busch's circus two or threo
nlghts ago. Tbe Emprqss, at tho end of
ono of the numbers, rose to go, but tho
llttlo girl beggod her to stay, and sho
dld until the>*nd of the show, whlch by
the wny, |s on excellent one.
At the end of the last number the Em?
press summoned the proprlotor of tho cir?
cus and compllmehted hlm on the "mill
tary" preclslon wlth whlch hls programme
was executed.
One of the storles thnt appears to he
wldely belleved outslde of Germany ls that
Prlncess Vlctoria Is deaf and dumb.
This is absolutely untruo. She is a nor?
mal, henlthy little girl. Mr. Jackson
late First Secretary of the Unlted Statea
embassy here nnd now Mim'ster to
Greece, wns lunchlng nt the palnco ono
day, when Vlctoria ran In, grabhed her
father's hand, nnd, child fashlon, cllmhed
up (tnlklng and Inughlng nll the whlle)
hls Maje.ty's person untll she renched
hls shoulders.
Ono eruest remnrked Hho was the only
ono l'n the world who could wnlk over
the Kmperor.
Costly Praclical Joke.
A practicnl Joke played on tho Kalsor
durlng tho recent nrmy mnnoeuvres in
Gormnny has cost n cnptnln of artlllory
hls Job.
Ar known ull the world over, the
Kniser every yiai In porson leads a serles
of fnrloiio onvniiy attneks upon the nr
tlllery of Jho enemy, and, of course, Is
nlwnys vlctormus, accordlng to the deci?
slon of the umpires, who do not wlsh to
offend the wnr lord.
Tho cnptnln ln question flnnlly got
tired of being teohnlcally defeated every
dny, nnd the lnst day of tho mnnoeuvres,
when gettlng ready to reslst the on
slnught of tlio Kalser's diVlsion, ho gavo
orders to load all the cannons wlth
potatoes.
When tho Kalser came stormlng on,
leading hls vlctorlous massos ngalnst
tho battery, the captaln dld not flre untll
tho iittnckihg forco wsb wlthln a range
of 600 yards, when he suddenly gave them
a brondslde of good, hard German pota?
toes, wlth the astnuudlng result that
thonttack on thls polnt was lgnominously
defeated, to tho great Joy of the arlll
lerlsts,
Tlm Kalser, however, dld not appreclate
tho Joke, and tho poor captaln waa
foroed to hmid In his roslgmulo l.
Thls story hns Just become known, but
to tell It In Germany ls consldered "letc
nuiJeslB" of tho worst klnii, und will put

LONDON, October 3.?Lord Curzon,

in England, is tho youngest admlnlstra
tlve offleer In the Brltlsh government.
He Is so encrgetlc nnd lndustrlous that
bc has won the name of being a hustler.
The Curzon famlly motto ls "Let Curzon
hold what Curzon held," and lt ls ap?
parent tho motto is a truthful one and
that the present Curzon llves up to lt.
The natiVc papers of Indla aro full of
crltlclsms of hls kcopmg a rare and pro
eious sulte of Ivory furnlture whlch ho
obtalned from a natlve maharajah ln ex?
change for n modern rifle. The prlco of
the sulte was absurdly low, and so the
natlve press Is attacking hlm for keep
lng It.
It. Is intimated that the Vlceroy got
the art treasure merely because of hls
position, whlch dazzlcd the simplc-minded
maharajah into partlng wlth hiB cen
turles-old furnlture for a song.
Some of the Indlun papers declare Lord
Curzon would have incontlnently dls
mlssed and dlsgraced a subordlnato ofTi
clal for acqulring' a blt of loot i_ thls
way.
Meanwhlle, the Vlceroy cllngs to the
furnlturo and the Vleerelne wlll be able
to show her vlsltrhg Chicago frlends
one of tho rlchest and rarest treasures
of antlque art that mysterlous Indla has
disclosed to the eyes of her conquerors.

ln an Engllsh made alr shlp, has suc

The aeronaut passed so close to the
dome that the workmen engaged in reno

Durlng the pnst two centuries the storfe
