Thf sad Intelligence received by Mr.
nntl Mrs. John Meredith, of North
Bromley nveinio, relative to the. drown
ing of their son, Daniel, at Lake Isi
dore yesterday, came like a thunder
clap to them last evening, when The
Tribune correspondent broke the news
to them. A message was first tele
phoned to Jenkins' drug stole, and
Henry Bruiting, who lives next door
to the family,- took It and with The.
Tribune man went lo the house and
acquainted the parents of what had
occurred. They could hardly bear up
pnder the strain. A few minutes later
Thomas Thomas, of South Hyde Park
nvenue, came Into the house with the
young man's clothing. Then came
their daughter. Norma, who was at the
lake with her brother. The scene was
very nffeetlng between her and her
parents.
It seems that the boy Old not care
to go to the excursion, but was per
minded by his companions to nceom
pany them. His mother had a premo
nition that something hail happened to
him. Young Meredith was a Tribune
carrier, and his sister Is one of the
contestants In the educational contest.
The body had not been recovered Inst
night, and the father and several oth
ers will go to Lake I.odore this morn
ing to renew the search. The details

ance of Grocer's Day. Some time af
ter their departure, these youths be
gan to run the store by working a
spring lock on a rear door. After en
tering the store they slaked their thirst
at the soda fountain, filled their pock
ets with sweets out of the candy case
and chewing gum, emptied the money
drawer and had a real good time
among the good things.
lnen their thoughts turned to get
ting out of the place ns secretly as
they had entered, but the spring lock
played a trick on them nnd they could
not solve Its mysteries.
-or a time they were scared boys,
and then they tiled the cellar door,
which yielded to them and getting Into
the cellnr they pulled up boxes, allow
ing them to crawl out of a window.
In doing this they made enough noise
to attract the attention of the family
living In the apartments over the store
nnd the youngsters were caught and
and (touched, revealing a plethora of
such things as would tempt tho cu
pidity of the youths. They were com
pelled to disgorge and their stealings
layed away to be given to Mr. Palmer
on Ills return. Whether or not arrests
will be made is yet unknown.

was severely burned on the face and
hands. The carriage was of buggy
pattern and valued at about $1,'.'00.
Dr. Brock says:
"We were riding ulong quietly and
slowly when we heard a pop, followed
by hissing. I had frequently heard the
same thing before. Ducey, however,
realized that something wns wrong,
qulcklj jumped out and endeavored to
turn off the gasolene. I smelt gaso
lene very strongly nnd Jumped out. I
had no sooner landed than the wagon
was enveloped In flames. It wns Im
possible to shut off the gasoline.
"Upon examining the ruins later, I
found that U14 two ends of the gaso
lene pipes wrc Imperfectly put to
gether and a stream of gasolene was
being forced out of a quarter Inch
pipe by a lxty pound pressure. If I
had remained In the carriage a few

STRICT RULES OF RUSSIA.
Some Facts About the Personality of
the Czar.
The czar has just celebrated his 31st
birthday. lie Is probably the most
powerful man of his ago that the world
has known In our time. To bo ruler
of ino.000,000 of the human race at 26
Is an experience which has come to
only ono living man which has come,
perhaps, to only one man t-lnce tho
world began. At that age Nicholas
II became emperor of Russia. Of tho
l,50ri,000,00ii people on the face of tho
earth one In twelve bowed down to this
young man, at whose bidding li.500.000
men would rise In arms. Those who
know the czar assert that he Is tho
most lovable of men, sensitive tn a
high degree, living a quiet family life,
with a passlonnto love of home and
children, yet weighed down with tho
coies of empire-. He longs . to bo
known, say Ills friends, ns "Nicholas
the I'.dticatnr." Ho Is an Insoluble par
adox, whose act ono day f.epms quita
Inconsistent with his act another day.
But the truth la said tu bo that tho
young emperor Is overwhelmed by tha
appalling responsibility that rests upon
him, and that half the acts committed
In his name are not his arts nt all.
"The czar," said one who knows him,
"know less about Russia than many a
foreigner." At the beginning of hla
reign Nicholas put himself on the slda
of common sense in the army by set
ting the oillcers an example which
they are not likely to forget. A youns
lieutenant had offended his colleagues
by riding In a tram down to the bar
racks. "Gentlemen." said tho em
peror, "I fear that to ride In a tram
Is considered beneath the dignity of
an officer in your regiment. I am your
colonel and I havo Just been riding In
a tram. Do you wish me to send in
my papers?" This little speech settled
tho matter nnd tho regiment has losl
its snobbishness since then.
Nicholas II. holds a colonelcy In th
British army. An Interesting story la
told In connection with his appoint
ment. The head of the war ofllco was
present when Queen Victoria suggested
that the czar should bo made a British
colonel, and It Is said that ho spent
some time In trying to persuade thi
queon thnt such a course was Impos.
slble, Inasmuch as every other crowned
head In Kuropo would expect the sam
honor. Queen Victoria listened pa
tlently, nnd then said quietly: "It. may
be Impossible, but It will have to hi
dono all the aaine."
