Within the parlor the scene was especially effective, the east end of the room being screened elf with an arrangement of stately Easter lilies with their rich leafage and exquisite white bloom.

The man was tall, with a gray moustache and hair, and was well dressed. Net a paper was found about his clothing. Five dollars in sliver was all he bad in his pockets. 'There is no clue as te his Identity. The scene where the corpse was found is the one seen lu the preacher's dream.

Eloquent Pie Fer Russia That Mary Taebrlkeva Seat te the Csar The Ap peal Coats Her Her Liberty. Early In this month a dispatch from St Petersburg stated that the cxar and his ministers had received a letter menacing him with the fate or Peter III. Paul I. and Alexander II, unless lie modified his re actionary policy, and a few days age a dispatch by way of Vienna said that the czar was Inclined te show mercy te the writer of this letter, Madame Tzebrlkeva, but had consented te her exile te Siberia. Mr. Geerge Kennan, who Is in Kansas City, was Interviewed with regard te these dispatches, and says thst he has a copy of the letter te the czar which is quite long and will seen be printed In full. He says that he knows Madame Tzebrlkeva. She la a Russian lady of ever forty, who has long been known as an able magazine writer en social and political subjects. "She has never been a revolutionist, still less a 'Terrorist,' and her opinions with regard te the state of affairs lu the great empire efthe North are theso of most In telligent and thoughtful Russians." She had, wben In Paris, warned him or her In tention te de something that might lead te her arrest, and Just before leaving that city for Russia she mailed te him a copy of her letter te the czar, and also a personal letter explaining her purpeses. Mr. Kennan says that the letter te the czar does net meuace the emperor and does net contain se much as a suggestion of as sassination or anything remotely resem bling a threat. " It seems te me te be a calm, reasonable revlew of tbe existing state or things In Russia, coupled with an earnest appeal for a mere liberal and pro gressive txjllcy." The concluding para graphs efthe letter are as fellows : " Russia paid dearly for the pollev or Nichols I. The reformer or your majesty will threw Russia back into that gloomy period. The bitter lessen or the Crimean war compelled Alexander II, at the end or the fifth and beginning or the sixth decade of the present century, te change bis policy. Is It possible that another such bitter lessen is necessary In erder te mske manifest the decay of existing imperial in stitutions T Salvatlcn is te be secured only In a return te the reforms or your fnther and in a further extension and develop ment of them. Freedom of speech, in violability or personal rights, freedom or assembly, open courts, ample opportunity for education suited te all capacities, pre vention of administration license (prolz (prelz (prolz vel), and a national assembly in which all classes shall be represented by delegates or their own cheesing these are the only things that will save the state. "The moasureer endurance Is filled te overflowing. It may be that a revolution, which shall overthrew the menachy, is far distant, but local disorders are probable, and the district rulers (Zcmskl Yachallnklj, appointed by you and thrown as an ad ditional burden upon the shoulders efthe rural commune, will de mero te Incite such disasters than will all the eflurts of our rev olutionists. The nation will grew up te bloodshed. Honest citizens leek for ward with terror te the miseries that sooner or later will be caused by the all powerful and dominating inllucnce of the bureaucracy ever the people. They leek forward te theso inlserles and are silent, but their children and grandchil dren will notkbe silent. Yeu are an auto aute auto eratlo Tsar, restrained only by laws which you yeurself make and alter, or by offi cials who de net execute theso laws, but whom you yourself appoint. One word from you, aud there will be a change In Russia which will leave a bright page in history. If you cheese te leave. instead, a dark page, you will net have the curses of pesterity, but they will be beard by your children, and"what a tor ter rlble inheritance you are thus transmit ting te them I Your majesty is ene of the mightiest monarchs of the world, I am only a working unit In the hundred mil lion whose fate you held In your hands, but, nevertheless, I feel that It Is my moral right and my duty te say what I lmve said. 'Mara Tzebiukeva." The explanatory letter opens with a complaint of the reactionary policy of the czar especially iu tbe creation of the petty tyrants, Zenisklnachalnlkl, "n new class or district rulers recently appointed through out Russia by the crown, for which we have te thank the late Dmitri Tolstoi. By this measure the liberties or the Russian Commune I(the Mir) scanty though they be are completely crushed. I have always felt keenly the shame of witnessing horrors or triumphant evil and or being a mute slave. " Our literature Is hardly anything mere than a literature ei slaves, and you cannot understand the tortureof trying te speak with the chain or the censorship or your tiain the torture or seeing se unhappy a people as ours, and knowing that It will become still mere miserable. I bave often lived in our country villages, and I knew only tee well bow defenseless will be our peasants against theso new tyrants the Zemsklnachalniki. The greatest misfor tune of Russian life is that horelsm is shown only en the side of the revolu tionists. " During the 20 years or mere that I have been a werker in our oppesltionary litera ture, I have vainly tried te organlze an address from our intelligent classes te the emperor in the spirit or the letter te him or which I send you a copy. I have often been told that such an address will be a senseless step' unless backed by a power- fill armv. But te create such an army Is a work of the future and a future se remote that our goueratlon past 50 cannot hope te see n. " We must, therefore, create a pewerful political opinion in our seciety. I am thor oughly convinced that such an address would preduce a moral Impression upon our government and the proof of this con viction lies in the fact that our great au thors have often been allowed te write things for which smaller ones were prose cuted. There was a time, about 16 years age, when our government felt some shamu before Eurepe, but I could de dething : our intelligent classes lacked the moral courage. "My letter te the emperor is te be sent te all of our papers, and I am going home te meet my rat, hoping that I have set an ex ample that will be followed. When I used all my arguments te keep our younger generation from bloodshed and dynamite I was told : ' Yeu write only as much as you are allowed te write, and you take your 1ay for It, aud that is what I'll de.' When : visited my friends In prison I always felt the gnawing worm of conscience, and I said te myself : 'They are suffering, while you are aetng neimng.- " My friends tell me that my act (writing te the emperor) Is vain and foelbardlness that I shall pay tee dearly for scant re sults, but there are no weights or mea sures for moral Influence. If I had the ta)ent or Harzeu, I would stay here (iu Paris) te de my battle, although expatria tion would be a great misery te me one can live only en one's ground with one's own people. But I am convinced that were I te repeat for twenty years mere what I have already said In print and or ceurse I repeat mere and mero feebly It would never have the Influence that this letter will have. It is net ambition te play a part that leads me te write It. Some of my friends who nave tried te dissuade me from this course have used the argument that my act will be misinterpreted as a feat of Erostra Erestra tus. Personally I am Impelled by the belier that even a slave has a right te pretest; but mere personal motives would net control, since In this case I would be acting like a Japanese who thrusts his sword into his Intestines te escape dishonor. I feel deeply my debt te the Russian common people. We nrivilesed classosenjev life because the peasant suffers, and I am new paying my debt te him. " Seme of my friends tell me that I must store up my energy for the day when our people will call upon the revolu tionary party for help. Seme Russian emigrants here live In this happy delusion. But no revolution is possible In Russia, nor will auch a thing be possible for many years. Furthermore, I will say frankly that I am afraid of revolution and or blood shed, Icandta, bnUflMMWtlpineaua- Ing death. If, however, by seme tnagte wand, our Radicals could call forth revolu tion, I should, of course, go and die In their ranks trying te alleviate Its evils. " I hope you will understand the ground upon which 4 write. They are Russian. " Probably this la the last letter you will ever receive from me, and I clese It with deep and slncere thankfulness for all yen have done In behalf of our exiles and pris oners In Siberia.

Isbell, the St. Leula attorney, was neted In Wednesday IXTKixieKKCKSias being In Laneaster looking up the records te establish the right of the heirs of Hugh Hag-en te a large ectate left te thorn by the heirs or Hugh Campbt 1 1. As neted, tbe attorney railed tejflnd any record In evldence or any fortune or any will, or that Hugh Campbell ever lived In Lancaster county. He states that he was net posltlve wben he came here he would find any records In this county, but was confident he would find them In one, of the counties of Eostern Pennsylvania. In company with Al' Hagen Mr. Isbell went te Martle township and saw some of the elder Ilageus, and from them It waa loarned that there was a tradition In the Hagen family that a fertune had been left them many years age, but nothing definite could be learned by thorn as te the name of the liberal party or wriere he resided. The early history of the Hagen family shows that Hugh Hagen and Jehn Hagen, brothers, came from Ireland about the time stated by Mr. Isbell, but that Hugh never married, as claimed by the St, Leuis lawyer. When be died his only surviving relntlve was his brother, and the descendants of this brother will claim any fertune that may ceme If there was such a porsenago as Hugh Campbell, such a will te be found .and such au estate awaiting legal representatives. While at Mt. Nebo, Mr. Isbell saw Mary Hagen, an aged maiden lady. She la the only surviving child or Jehn Hagen, brother or Hugh. Thore are children of Mary's deceased brothers and sisters, and they are: the children of David Hagen, six Iu number, among thorn Al Hagen, or this city; three children or Elijah, ene or Enech, threo of Mrs. Hannah Alexanderand threo of Mrs. Abbie Andrews. Nearly all these heirs live in Lancaster county. Mr. Isbell examined the Bible record In the possession of this old lady and found there much te corroborate the facts given by the Koulhern claimants te the estate. He believes that the Jehn Hagen helrs are the legal parties te Inherit Hugh Campbell's estate. He appeared te be mero anxious te establish the rights of the parties than te hunt for the money, The latter, he says, will be round iu due time. Mr. Isbell left for Philadelphia last night and will pursue his search or the records In that city, after which he will go te West Chester. THE INTERSTATE LEAGUE.
