Decline of The Cossacks. The Race is Starving Out Through Its Military Burdens. A Vienna dispatch to the London Times says : “A report the Austro-Hungarian vice consul at Rostoof, on the Don, contains some highly interesting particulars of the inquiry instituted some time ago by means of a special government commissaries as to the causes of the decline of the Cossack population. “The report, which deals more particu- larly with the Cossacks of the Don, begins by stating that in the institution of the Cossacks’ there is a dominating factor which distinguishes its mode of existence from that of the other elements in the em- pire, and which is characterized by com- pulsory military service in the strictest sense of the term. For the last thirty years compulsory service bas been in force throughout Russia, but in accordance with certain dispositions of the law a large num- ber of young men are exempted as being the support of their family or in conse- quence of trifling physical defects and on other grounds. No such favor is extended to the Cossacks, who are, indeed, obliged Coal and Wood. to equip and mount themselves at their own expense. Their rifles and ammution are alone provided by the military admin- EP¥akD K. RHOADS.

Every Cossack on attaining his eight or tenth year is enrolled in the Cos- sack army and has to take the oath of al- legiance. The special privileges which the Cossack enjoys are exemption from taxes and gifts of land from which he makes his living and meets the cost of his equipment. The greater part of the district of the Don is, or was, the property of the Cossacks. “There impoverishment is due to the fact that the material burdens imposed upon then by their military obligations have been steadily increasing, while there has been no corresponding augmentation in their sources of revenue. In order to provide himself with the regulation equip- ment the young Cossack, or more frequent- ly, his father, has to mortgage, let or sell his property. The lessee of the land is naturally anxious to get as mtuch as pos- sible out of it in a short time. The conse- quence is that it loses much of its fertility, a circumstance which has proved highly unfavorable to the rearing of cattle, and especially to horse breeding. Aceording to a member of the commission of inquiry forty years ago the communes made no special distribution of the land belonging to them. The Cossack sowed and reaped where he liked and as much as he liked, but he confined himself to the require- ments of his family, the land that remain- ed over being used for grazing purposes. He did not need money and cared nothing for it. His farm sufficed to previde for all bis personal wants, and for the necessities of his military service. He rode his own homebred horse, had his everyday clothes. The introduction of railways brought about a complete change in the half nomadic existence of the Cossack.

It has upset all his traditional habits, obliging him to draw a distinet line of separation between his own property aud that of his neighbor. The land is ne longer common property, but has been divided into individual lots. The effect of this change has been most prej- udicial to him. “To make matters worse fresh calls have been made on him for his military service. He has been redueed to altogether preear- ious circumstances. His military obliga- tions practically preclude his exercising any industrial pursuit outside his own commune. With regard to trade he is handicapped by a special impost for dis- pensation from his military duties, and is thus at a disadvantage in competing with strangers. The cultivation of the vine is unsatisfactory. The Cossacks employ the same methods as they did a century ago. cessive administrative experiments among the Cossacks, all of which have lamentably failed. If a remedy is not speedily found, and if the requisite reforms are not prompt- ly introduced the institution of the Cos- sacks’ in the territory of the Don cannot be maintained for any length of time. The Russian minister of war, Gen. Kuropatkin, while on a tour of inspection in the Don in the course of private conversation that in any case the Cossacks were much better off than the rest of the peasant population of the empire.

Curtis, a young Chi- cago man. Curtis arrived in Beaumont on his way West on Jan. 6th of this year, the day upon which the famous Lucas oil well was discovered. When he left the train with his wife to get lunch he found the town in a fever of excitement over the dis- covery, and, having had experience in oil fields, he decided to stay. He made up his mind instantly. He ordered his trunks from the e car, and a few minutes later the train pulled out minus two pas- gengers. Curtis estimates the results of his quick decision at many thousands of dollars on an investment small when com- pared with the results. ‘“The report gives particulars of the suec- district last June, ie said to have remarked In Bed Forty Years. ‘On a cot in the Hospital for Incurables on Blackwell’s Island tranquil lies a woman who has heen confined to her bed for 40 years,’’ saye the New York Mail and Express. ‘‘Mary Smith is 69 years old and is suffering from paralysis of the limbs and a mild attack of paraphasia—or what would be termed outside the medical pro- fession a failing of the vocal cords. She ‘was born in County Cavan, Ireland aud came to this country when very young. In 1859—she was then 27 years of age— she was taken ill with typhus fever. She recovered, butseem to have lost all her former vitality. Her speech was slow and labored and it was with great difficulty she could draw her breath.. She seemed to have lost control of her vocal cords. ‘Her condition became such that it was deemed best to send her to a hospital, where she could receive proper care. Ac- cordingly on March 4th, 1861, she was taken to Bellevue Hospital and admitted as a patient. She remained there until July 5th, 1862, when she was transferred to the Charity Hospital on Blackwell’s Is- land. During her stay at Bellevue she fell out of the bed one afternoon, sustain- ing a severe fracture of her left arm. When she was admitted to Bellevue she was able to move her limbs, but with some difficulty. “When she had been at the Charity Hospital for several days and after many consultations of the physicians it was de- cided to inject strychnine into her body. “This treatment had been going on but a short while when it was noticed that her knees grew stiff and her toes pointed upward. Through the influence of a Dr. Hamilton, who was then connected with the Charity Hospital, she was kept at the hospital for 14 years. During that period an operation was perfomed and a piece of bone removed from her spine. “She was then transferred back to Belle- vue for several vears and about eight years ago removed to the Incurable Hospital, where she now is. The nurse in charge there says that the woman's appetite is as good, if not better, than any patient she has—there are 56 in the hospital. She eate two or three boiled eggs a day and several large slices of buttered bread and drinks coffee. All this food is fed her by an attendant. The bread is broken up in small pieces and the eggs given her on a teaspoon. “‘She never complains,’ said the nurse. ‘Once in a while when we have visitors I go over to ber cot and shout—she is rather deaf—that there are friends to see her. She simply turns her head to one side and complacently remarks: ‘‘They’re wel- come.”” Sometimes she calls for me aud begins to relate to me some things she ex- perienced in her childhood. She has a wonderful memory and often she recalls to me facts that I had forgotten. Her health is of the very best. And one very singu- lar fact is that she is never troubled with bed sores. The physicians say that she may live for many years.” All Died in Rocking Chairs. A Peculiar Coincidence in the Deaths in a Wis- congin Family. : By the death of Mrs. Rachel Oliver at La Valle Wis., there is brought to light a remarkable series of events in which the same manner of death of almost an entire family take an important part. About twenty-five years ago her father, Cornelius Sainsbury, accidently cut his foot while working in the timber, and when he was taken home he remarked samething about a pain in his side and soon expired, while seated in a rocking chair. The loss of blood was slight and his death was attributed to heart failure. About six weeks after, his wife died of the same disease amd, too, while seated in a rocking chair. There was but a few days difference in their ages, each being 60 years old. When their oldest son, Joseph, had reached the age of three score years he went to Fort Colling, Col. for his health, and while there eontracted a slight fever. One evening while sitting in a rocking chair to have his bed made, death came upon him and he expiredin a few mo- ments. When their oldest daughter, Mrs, Mary A. Davis’ wae the same age, she com- plained of not feeling well one day and, to the surprise of all the family, was dead in a few moments, dying while seated in a rocking chair. She was also 60 years old. The death of Mrs. Oliver, aged 60, takes away all but one of the entire family. Her brother, James Sainsbury, resides at Reedsburg. Like all of the others, the death of Mrs. Oliver was unexpected, her illness covering hut fifteen minutes. She had been employed in her household duties and sat down in a rocking chair for a few moments’ rest, and without a word pass- ed away. For almost an entire family to pass away while seated in a rocking chair, of the same disease, and about the same age, is a remarkable series of events. —————————— Fell Over a Cliff 200 Feet High. The Body of a Farmer, Who Had Been Missing for a Month, Found at Its Base. A posse of thirty men scouring the wood- ed country near Jamesville, New York, discovered the corpse of David A. Waters, a wealthy farmer of the town of Tully. Mr. Waters, who was 85 years old, wae well preserved and vigorous. Instead of taking the train for home, he determin- ed to walk to Jamesville station, five miles away, and visit friends on the way. His Tally relatives supposed him still in Syra- cuse, and a week ago wrote inquiring about him. Search was immediately in- stituted, with the result that it was learn- ed that he had not been seen by his James- ville friends. A farmer living in the neighborhood of Green Lake, a small body of water sur- rounded by limestone cliffs 200 feet high reported that on the night of the day Mr. Waters left Syracuse, he had heard wild cries from the cedar forest, 100 acres in ex- tent, which surrounds the lake. It was this forest which was scoured to-day. At the bottom of the rocks about twenty feet from the water’s edge the body was found. There was a large bruise on the head. . He had evidently lost his way and rushing blindly about in the woods at night, had stumbled over the cliff to his death. bore nei ee An Unfortunate Statement.

Nearly $3,000,000 will be required to construct and equip the wonderful Midway at the Pan-American Exposi- tion. The greatest care has been taken to prevent any approach toward the “fake” show, and the visitor may rest assured that he will not be submitted to fraud or extortion so long as he re- mains upon the Exposition grounds. It is difficult to single out any attraction in this section as more prominent or worthy than another, for all have their special merit and novelty. The Beautiful Orient will represent life as it existed in the East before the advent of the modern tourist. Gaston Akoun, director of this conces- sion, is arranging to have native repre- sentative characters to convey proper impressions of oriental custems and manners of living, He will have plenty of room in which to display the differ- ent salient features that would appeal in the strongest terms to people ac- customed to our western civilization. A holy Mecca will be the meeting place of tired and worn pilgrims who will constantly arrive, make their offer- ings in the various mosques or reli- gious temples and disperse. Eight streets will diverge from this objective point. each representing a distinctive local section of the orient. A street in Constantinople will be thoroughly Turkish, even to the vagabond dogs. Morocco will be represented by a street which will illustrate the life and habits of the Moors. Algerian life will receive attention, and a street will be borrowed from Algiers for the pur- pose. Typical illustrations in a like manner will be taken from Egypt, Tunis, Persia, Tripoli and Turkey in Asia. While looking through these sections visitors could easily imagine themselves in the midst of the ancient city the counterpart of which they are visiting. A Bedouin Arab encampment will lend variety, and Sahara Desert no- mads will live in their interesting char- acteristic way. Natives from all coun- tries will live on the grounds with their camels and different domestic oriental animals, cabins, tents and huts. Res- taurants, tea houses, shops and fruit stands for the sale of oriental goods of great variety will be provided. The Beautiful Orient is under the same management as the Streets of Cairo, which was so popular at the World’s Fair, though it will be three times as! large. About 300 orientals will be em- ployed in different ways with this at- traction, a conglomerate eastern city with distinct local features—a history in a nutshell. Man Without a Stomach Going Back to Work. Paul O. Kruger, who 15 minus a stomach, will be allowed to leave his bed at the Illinois college hospital, at Chicago, next Monday, according to Dr. B. B. Eads, who performed the operation. “Kruger is doingsplendidly,’”’ the sur- geon said. He was a gardner and florist. As this vocation does not require either great mental or physical effort I see nothing in the way of his success and prosperity in his old business. “During the two years the cancer preyed upon his vitals, he was reduced from 180 to 125 : pounds. He will regain weight; bow much iy problematical. I do. not think he will ever be able to do heavy manual labor because his digestion is lim- ied. He must be very careful about his iet.”? : FouGHT FoR His LiFE.—*‘‘My father and sister both died of Consumption,’’ writes J. T. Weatherwax, of Wyandotte, Mich. “and I was saved from the same trightful fate only by Dr. King’s New Discovery.

Raising a seven-story building without cracking a pane of glass or marring a wall is the undertaking which has been success- fully accomplished by a Chicago contractor on the Cambridge hotel building at Thirty- ninth street and Ellis avenue, Chicago. This building, as constructed in 1892, ‘had a five-foot basement, which was not sufficient to allow the boilers in the steam- heating and electric-lighting plants to come up to a grade level necessary under city ordinances. The building had to be raised two feet six inches. This has been done by using over 1,500 small jackscrews, com- bined with a steel structure. The work was completed in twenty-one days instead of thirty days, the limit placed in the con- tract. The jackserews upon which the building at present rests are slight and slender, tak- en individually,and not one of them appears capable of supporting even a small fraction of the 12,000 tons of weight imposed upon them. In their large number, however, rests their strength. The Cambridge hotel contains 450 rooms, is even stories in height and is built of brick on a steel structure. It is to be entirely remodeled and made fire proof. General Assembly News. An Offer Which Will be of Great Interest to All Presbyterians.
