Foreat VI re at Wbile Lake, X. Y.

on the east side of the lake are safe.
The Cipher
TSelegrctm
Original.
Lisa was a young Russian girl, the
daughter of a general. At the time the
Crimean war broke out she waa en
gaged to DImitrl Olizoff, a lieutenant in
the Russian ermy. There are cases
.where lovers become bo wrapped in
each other that separation is agony. So
it was with these two young people
when Dimltrl Olizoff departed for the
ward. Lisa held to him till the last
minute and fell in a stupor when he
left her.
It had been arranged between them
that Olizoff should not only send word
by everyday mail, but telegraph her in
case of his being wounded or taken
sick. This might Involve sending news
of a battle. The Uusnlan government
gives out all the news, not permitting
even the newspaper correspondents to
send any except what has passed a
censor. Therefore Olizoff would not
only be obliged to send his message
surreptitiously, but in cipher. The
lover arniuged a code, giving Lisa the
try. He did not tell her that there was
little hope of his being able to use it.
Still, since the cipher was simply a few
ordinary sentences, each with a special
meaning, the sending of a message was
not impossible.
Olizoff was wealthy, and Russian offi
cials ore very corrupt He made the
acquaintance of a telegrapher at head
quarters and arranged with him for
1,000 rubles to send a message if re
quired. One evening Lisa was at on enter
tainment ' at the house of Vladimir
Sohnski, a prominent government of
ficial at St Petersburg. The Malakoff
had been stormed and the government
was especially desirous of keeping
news which forebode the defeat of the
Russian causa from the people. The
host knew of it and was instructed to
proceed with his entertainment, since
a postponement would excite suspicion.
In the midst of the festivities a tele
gram was banded to Lisa.' She tore off
the envelope, scanned the words In the
message and fell in a faint. Sohnski,
who had been feigning to be in a merry
mood, but really was depressed by what
lie was concealing, happened to be near
Lisa when she swooned. He seized
the telegram, noticed the point from
whence it came and knew at once that
it must be a cipher message containing
some news about the disaster. He
bad Lisa carried upstairs to a private
room, notified the police to come and
take charge of her, and disappearing
from among his guests went directly
to the imperial palace with the tele
gram; The telegram was composed of two
sentences, ""I am on picket duty to
day" and "I love you as ever," the
first meaning "There has been a disas
ter." the second "I am badlv wounded."

Gardiner. Me., June 4. The John
Hancock lee houses, owned by the
American Ice company, and eight
dwellings were burned today. The
Ice houses wer empty.
It had" teen understood between, the
lovers that in the latter event Lisa
should go to her lover if possible. Lisa
before recovering from her swoon
raved about his condition, then as soon
as she came to herself raised herself
from the couch on which she had been
laid, saying that she must go at once
to him. Then for the first time she saw
among those about her a police oCicer.
She knew at once that she had betray
ed herself.
Lisa was sent to her father's house,
where she was kept under the surveil
lance of the police. Every effort was
made without success to induce her to
tell from whom the telegram, which
was unsigned, came. But it was quite
plain that it must have come from her
lover. An account of the matter was
sent to the headquarters of the army
Wlta orders to watch Olizoff without
informing hini of the result of his mes
sage, in tne nope or caicmng nun bcuu
j ing another and discovering through
j what operator he sent it. Olizoff, how
ever, sent no more messages, for he
I was lying in a hospital severely
' wounded.
I Severn 1 months passed, daring which
Lisa was kept in tflose confinement
! without any knowledge of her lover's
condition. She did nt know whether
'. be had died of bis wound or would live
i to Buffer a worse fate for sending sur
! rrptitiously a telegraph message that
; only the government might send, hue
' sank rapidly under the strain. Those
; who attended her dared not speak of
' anything that had happened lu connec
tion with the matter, and Lisa did not
even know how her own father, who
I was with the army in the Crimea,
stood toward her.
I One afternoon there was a sound of
horses' hoofs and the clatter of sabers
i In the court. Thinking that her father
had returned from the war, a sudden
thrill of hope passed through Lisa that
he would bring her news of Dimltrl.
Then she heard her father's voice and
looked for him to rush upstairs as he
was used to doing when he came home,
but when he did not she supposed that
he had not forgiven her for her part in
the deceit. Presently she heard several
people coming up the stairway very
slowly. Then her door opened and her
father entered, followed by the order
lies supporting the wasted figure of her
lover.
"You are forgiven, my daughter,"
said the father. "The emperor has
listened to my prayer in your behalf.
Vladimir won his own forgiveness by
gallantry in the action of which he
sent you the news."
The father embraced his daughter;
then her pale soldier lover limped to
ber and they were locked in one an
other's arms. ,
The telegraph operator waa not so
fortunate. The message was traced to
him, and he was sent to Siberia.' This
was the only cloud upon the lovers'
happiness, and Lisa, a few years later,
while at court, persuaded the emperor
to grant the man a pardon.

Suicide in the United States has beet
studied by I'rofessor William B. Bailey
of Yale for a period covering 1S07 to
1001, says a New Haven special to the
New York Times. He has taken 29,344
cases. In order to take a more con
venient unit 10,000 cases were taken
by Professor Bailey for computation
in his statistics. Of these 7,781 were
found to be males and 2,21'J females,
indicating that in general the ratio of
suicides of males to that of females
is three and a half to one.
Ills tables show that the most popu
lar suicide period is between thirty
and forty years, followed closely by
the period between twenty and. thirty
years. Nearly two-thirds of the sui
cides are found between the periods of
twenty to fifty years. It is found that
the number of married suicides ex
ceeds that of those who are single.

tions: ' ;

women commit suicide than men In
like conjugal conditions, but married
men are more prone than married wo

method of suicide, followed closely by

Despondency is the leading motive,
claiming about 20 per cent of the vic
tims. Business loss, ill health and In
sanltv follow in order, with about 13
per cent each, disappointment iu love
coming nest. Suicide on account or al
coholism is seventeen times as common
among the males us the females, while
from business loss the number is thlr
teen to one. Between the ages of twen
ty and thirty is reached the maximum
of suckles from grief, chagrin and be
incr crossed in love.
Mondav is the favorite day for com
mitting suicide, followed closely by
Sunday. From Monday down to Friday
there is an inexplicable increase and
then a drop on Saturday, the lowest of
the week. I'rofessor Bailey says of
this:
"For those who have endured
throughout the week there is pay day
at hand, followed by a day or rest.
Among the males Monday is pre-eml
nently a day for suicide. Females pre
fer Sunday to Monday. Religious ex
citemeut may have 'something to do
with this, but nearly a third of the do
mestic troubles leading to suicide conn;
on Sunday.
"More than one-fourth of the suicides
from financial trouble and ill health
among females occur on Monday. They
apparently lack the courage in their
weak or impoverished condition to take
up the struggle of a new week.
"Of 10,000 cases 3,087 occurred In the
twelve hours lefore noon and 5.SJS
during the remaining twelve hours.
Beginning with midnight, there is a
continuous increase until 0 p. m. The
three hours from 0 to 0 p. m. show a
falling off, while from 0 o'clock till
midnight is the period of greatest fre
quency."
' BEN-HUR" RACES PLANNED
General Lew Wallace Will Act a
Judge at Indiana Fair.
Thomas Ensley recently contracted
with the Indiana state board of agri
culture for a revival of the Roman
chariot races at the coming state fair,
says a special dispatch from Indianap
olis to the Philadelphia Press.
The rules will require chariots built
on the old Roman lines, Roman style
of harness and Roman costuming of
drivers. The rules that governed tho
Circus Maxlmus races and the races at
Antioch M ill obtain.
The Idea was suggested when "Ben
llur" wns presented on the stage at
Indianapolis, and General Lew Wal
lace will be one of the judges. He has
consulted with Ensley and will assist
in the details.

says the New York Commercial Ad

to further this object was founded at
Zurich. A Swiss child has the oppor

RAILWAY MOTOR COACHES. J
Latent I-volpnM'nt off Locomisti ve
KnRlncerlujs Iu l.it lit Traflln.
The announcement that steam motor
coaches are to 1- introduced, on the
Great Western railway of England in
July points to an interesting develop
ment in locomotive engineering, says
the- Loudon Daily Mail. The London
and Southwestern Steam company al
ready built and tried a steam motor
coach, and a vehicle of a somewhat
similar character will apparently be
adopted by the Great Western com
pany. The Londoji and - Southwestern
steam motor coach Is destined for use
on suburban or main lines at those
periods of the day when there is no
great rush of tr'aihe.
Heavy morning and evening traliie
will be disposed of by the usual trains,
but when passengers are few in num
ber the motor coach will bo used. . The
Great Western motor coaches will car
ry fifty-two persons of one class only,
but the L. and S. W. vehicle will he di
vided into two compartments, first and
third, carrying ten passengers in the
former and thirty-two in the latter.
Access may be had to the coach at
both ends from wide platforms, which
have openings on either side, these be
ing closed when running by collapsi
ble gates. There is a luggage van capa
ble of holding one ton of luggage, and
Immediately in front of this is the en
gine. This is of exceedingly compact
design. The boiler is placed on the
center line and is of the Tertical type,
with vertical and cross tubes. The
cylinders are Inclined, and the connect
ing rods drive direct on to pins on the
front wheels. A separate drag link
serves to work the valve gear. There
are no flexible steam couplings, tho
boiler and the cylinders being on tho
same frame. The wheel base is eight
feet, and the wheels are solid. The
cylinders, of which there are two; are
seven inches in diameter, with a ten
Inch stroke. It is calculated that In
service the rate of acceleration will
give tho coach a velocity of thirty
miles an hour in thirty seconds.
TRIUMPH OF OUR HENS.
Have a III Lead la International
V.lfK Lay Ins Tournament.
Word comes from Australia that the
eighteen hens sent from the United
States to compete with the hens of
that land in an egg laying contest have
distanced their rivals and are still lay
ing, says a Chicago special to the New
York Times.
Three coops of six hens each were
sent from Chicago in February and ar
rived in Sydney on March 18 after a
particularly trying voyage. They were
immediately set to laying in competi
tion with some sixty-live others.
Miller Purvis, editor of Commercial
Poultry, recently received a report of
the progress of the contest from A. A
Dunnicliffe, Jr.. of the Sydney Tele
graph. The report states that the
three pens of American hens stand
first, second and fourth respectively on
the tally sheet, the leaders having such
a start of their rivals that it is doubt
ful if the latter can catch up. The con
test will last one year, and the owners
of winners will receive appropriate
prices.

D. D. D. is now used by every family physician who has investigated it. It
is used by the greatest skin specialists inthe country. It is used in the Cook
County Hospital, Chicago. It will clear away any parasitic break in the skin in
from 3 to 00 days time. It is a medical triumph. In Eczema, Salt Iiheum, Bar
ber's Itch, Itching Tiles and all &kin affections, in the invariable success this local
treatment proves it is a skin parasitic that caui3 the trouble and that it is not the
