"An enrly nuillenee with Count I.iinm

was most i-onllul, hu unlit the wholo
Inulter holontfoil In the tlt-piirtnieiit of
M. l'h-hve, the minister of the Interior.
'I nui ni-gunlutvil with your wishes,"
uUl Count l.aiuHdorlT, 'ami jou may
trust me to do anything In my power
to further the inatter. Only yesterday
1 forwurded the report of our nxent
upon his Interview with you to Minis
ter riehve, with my earnest recoin
uieudatlou that wc meet your views.'
Of course, this wns eneouraln. but
when I hnd talked with Al. l'lehve I
wns less confident. He was courteous,
but he is a limn having upon his shoul
ders the entire responsibility for the
Internal order of the empire, nnd be
fore taking nuy radical steps he must
look carefully Into the business. So
about all he could say was that be
would tnko the matter uuder advise
ment and see what could be done.
"I asked four things:
"First A press rute.
"Second. Precedence for our tele
grams. "Third. An 'open door,' so far as the
government ofllces were concerned, so
that our correspondents would be wel
comed nnd given the news.
"Fourth. The abolition of the cen
sorship so far as It npplled to us.
"SI. riehve suggested that I see M.
Douruovo, the minister of telegraphs,
and he arranged the interview. As a
result the first two of my suggestions
were grunted Immediately. M. Hour
novo snid ho wns powerless to stop a
government telegram for us, as is done
in Franco, but bo gave an order that
our dispatches should follow govern
ment telegrams und precede all others.
And bo assured mo that under nil or
dinary conditions this meant that we
ild be sure of receiving n news (118-
ttn from Port Arthur op vlnillvnutnlr
" ,tlie Trnnssibeiinn lines within nn
Ah? I am hnnnv to snv that his tndir-
"ment bas been fully borne out In ex
perience. "Then, without solicitation on my
part or that of Sir. SlcCormlck, our am
bassador, I wns 'commanded' to a
privato audience of tho emperor at the
Winter palace. This lasted about an
hour. The emperor went into the sub
ject with great enrnestness, asking
J many questions nnd discussing freely
all possible objections. Sly wishes as
to rates and precedence having already
bean ,mct by Minister riehve, there
only remained for consideration some
arrangement for enabling us to get the
news and the abolition of the censor
ship. I was very promptly assured
that directions would bo given to all
of the ministries, the war and navy
departments, the foreign office, etc.,
to welcome our men and to give them
all of the Information possible.
"And as to tho censorship which,
after all, was the vital thing under
tho then existing order a correspond
ent, after the most soul trying labor to
secure a piece of news, was forced to
drive two miles to tho censor's bouse
to have the stamp of authorisation
affixed and thence another two miles
to the telegraph office. It frequently
happened that the censor was not at
his house, as bo had other government
duties to perform, and quite likely bo
was In bd and asleep and could not
be reached between midnight and 8
o'clock In the morning, tho very hours
that, owing to tho seven hours' differ
ence In time, were most Important for
the morning papers of the United
States. Tben, too, although Mr. Lam
soott, the responsible censor, was a
most intelligent and most obliging per
son, he was at best a subaltern, who
must always be mindful of the criti
cisms that would follow any error of
judgment be might be guilty of. It
was, theroforo, only natural that be
should refuse to pass anything which
any one above him in authority might,
by any possibility, construe as doubt
ful. Without any disposition on big
part to be ungenerous, bis duty be
came, out of the very necessities of the
case, one of suppression rather than
censorship.
"I submitted these facts to the em
peror and urged that, notwithstand
ing All of this effort, the censorship
was not alone ineffective, but really
hurtful to Eussia. It was ineffective
for the reason that no power could
prevent a correspondent from writing
whatever be chose and sending It
across the border to a German tele
graph office, whence it would go in
full. The most, therefore, that the
Itnssiun censorship on dispatches go
ing to foreign countries did was to de
lay them twelve or fifteen "hours nd
to vex and anger the correspondents.
But, I pleaded, these were sot the
only consequences of the censorship.
Since these obstacles were put in the
wuy of sending the truth out of Rus
u'ix there had grown up a regular truf
fle in the business of supplying the
press of the world with false newt
r
bout Russia. Tlro are men In Vien
na, ltorlln and London who mako n liv
ing by inventing stories about Uusslit.
If, I said, we were free to send the
truth promptly, no self respecting pa
per would think of printing theso Vi
ennese and Loiidoneso fabrications.
Finally I nukkcMimI that as long in the
consorahlp lasted tehxrains fri: St.
retersliurg passed by the censor took
on an official aspect nud passed cur
rent throughout the world for much
luoro nuthorlty tbuu they were really
enUtled to.
"The emperor nsked bow long I pur
posed remaining In St. Petersburg nnd
said that If 1 would wait n wei k he
would undertake to do all of the things
I asked. lie said that nil they wanted
wns that the truth be told, and he be
lieved there wns more certainly of se
curing such nn end by the plaiuj had
outlined. Sir. William T. Sid had
been there a year before trying to ac
complish the same thing, but 1 am
ufrnld be was not very tactful about it
"The same evening 1 attended tho
great court ball, and tho emperor came
up and renewed the conversation and
assured Ambassador SleCormlrk that
if I would remain in St. Petersburg for
n week he would arrange everything.
It was agreed that I should put my
suggestions into the form of a memo
randum nnd send it to him.
"The following Thursday I met Min
ister l'lehve nt a reception, nnd be said
he wns afraid they could not abolish
the censorship, 'although, of course,
tho matter was In the bauds of his
majesty, who would do as he thought
wise.' SI. l'lehve wanted to know If
I would not be content with the ap
pointment of a burenil of censorship to
be located nt the telegraph office und
to be open day nnd night. I replied
thnt that would certainly be n great
Improvement, but that I hoped for
something better,
'Then the war came on, ami every
body was fully occupied. It was ar
ranged that 1 should go to Berlin to
dine with Ambassador Tower, when
the Oerinan emperor should be present.
After dinner I had nn hour's talk with
Emperor William and told him of my
efforts In Hussht. lie promptly volun
teered to help In any way possible and
assured mo repeatedly of the high re
gnrd In which the German government
held the Associated Press. lie kept
his promise in n very substantial way.
"When I returned to St. Petersburg,
Count I.anisdorff advised me that' Km
peror Nicholas had approved the memo
randum I bad sent him and that us
soon as some petty details could be ad
justed the censorship would be abol
ished. I then wrote notes to Minister
I.nmsdorff nml l'lehve thanking them
nnd took my leave. When I reached
Vienna I received a telegram notify
ing mo thnt the censorship hud been
forever abolished.
"Then I wrote a letter to the em
peror expressing my thanks nud the
hope thnt his act would result In bet
tor relations between Ilusshi and the
United States. I received In Chicago
n telegram from Huron Fredericks, tho
emperor's nld-de-camp, conveying tho
emperor's thanks for my good wishes
nnd nn expression of hid hoie that nil
of my desires would be fully met.
"The result has been most satsfac
tory. Wo have had a prompt, completo
and truthful report of every phase of
tho war as seen from a Uusslan view
point." ForethnuKlit.

The e.invnsbnck duck looked very
tempting to the I tingry dinner guest,
but It wns sliced Into tnntiillztngly
small plti os. She determined to take
two. though n gnlliy glance nt ths
plates showed her that none of the oth
er guests had ventured upon more
than one. The slices loomed tip like
whole ducks us they lay before her,
safely laiirrd. Wns everybody nt the
table gn'.lng nt them? To her horror,
the butler. I intend of moving on, iitood
holding the platter by her side. Wns
the tone in Ids voice one of stern disap
proval or sarcasm? For there be stood
nnd asked:
"How tunny?"
Her head swam. Clearly It wns sar
casm, but the Insolence of the man!
She thought to close the Incident gnico
fully by turning with n remark to her
neighbor. Not nt nil. Retribution wns
not to be put nwny thus lightly. Again
that cold. inoeUIng voice In her ear:
"How many?"
"Everybody nt the tnhlo by this time
must, be transfixing her nnd her two
slices, but slie did not dare look up to
see. The butler must be drunk. Whnt
was to be done to avoid n scene? Just

THE JEWSHARP.

The Jewslmrp bus been with us for
more than three centuries. Wo find In
Hakluyt's "Voyages" n reference to tbo
roaring trade In Jcwshnrps done by
Hmldcley nnd ltnlelgh with the new
world, l'.arller still tbe nnnie wns Jew's
trump, but no one bus succeeded In
tracing historically the reason for ei
ther name. Various theories have been
put forward.
The suggestion that It Is a corruption
of Jaw's harp nnd the connection of It
Willi the French "Jeu" nro dismissed
by medcru authorities as "baseless and
Inept." Professor Skeat thinks thnt tho
name was given In derision nnd con
tnlns a reference to the burp of David.
Sniythe-I'almcr maintained thnt It
ought to be identllled with "gewgnw,"
which nt one time meant a flute.
Hut the most likely solution of the
pu.7.le is i hat the little Instruments
were first sold In England nnd Scotlnnd
by Jewish peddlers. Although Jews
had no legal status In England between
the times of Edwnrd 1. nnd Cromwell,
It is known that ninny found their wny
to Great Britain, where their natural
occupation would bo thnt of wandering
peddlers. London Globe.

Iu the eleventh und twelfth centuries
the Japanese were the most daubing
pirates of tho east- In fact, we might
almost call them the vikings of tho
oust, Bays n writer hi nn English Jour
nal. They used Junks small ships
with n scrap of sail, but quite as sea
worthy ns, for Instance, the little ves
sels in which tho Danes once raided
our own coasts or ns the crnft which
the Penzance fishermen have today.
With these Junks tho Japanese roamed
tho seas, going everywhere nlong tho
Chinese main, ravaging tho coasts,
trading nnd bringing homo priceless
works of nrt from China.
It wns not until long nfterwnrd thnt
the ruling authorities of Japan, under
the groat Emperor Hldeyoshi, decided
thnt It suited their purposo to shut off
communication with the outsldo world
and to live to themselves, trading
merely among their own Islands. Tho
old Japnneso vikings were reduced to
simple fishermen, nnd tbo period of in
ternal feudatory wars began, for at
that time at least Japnneso would fight
becauso they loved It
Wonien In Jnpan.
In Japan a well bred woman does
not go to tho theater until she Is old
and ugly. It is not thought proper for
her to understand music. If sho is re
ligious sho Is termed "flighty." Sho
spends most of her time at home at
tending to ber children and servants
and performing all sorts of menial
service for her husband and bis fam
ily. It has been said that "a woman In
Japan docs not marry for a husband,
but to be unpaid servant to his fam
ily." Greatness and Bninrtnaii.

CURIOUS WORSHIP.
The I'Mton of Throwing trrer al
an Idol In Japan,
Along the sacred rond of Nlkkn, In
Julian, Is nil Idol about which centers
one of the most curious worships In
the world. Upon the surface of the
statue are seen little pieces of whul
appears to be dried paper. If you stand
by the Idol for awhile nud wait for n
worshiper to eoiiie nlong, yon will see
whnt those bits of paper nro. The dev.
otee hnlls In front of the linage, then
scribbles a prayer on a bit of the pa
per.' The wild he then chews up Into
a ball and burls nt the god. If it
bits the face nud sticks, the prayer Is
sure to be granted, und tbe pious pil
grim goes nwny happy. If the bull
sticks to some portion of the body, the
omen Is not unite so propitious, and If
It fulls to the ground there Is absolute
ly no hope.
Such n mode of prayer Is even luoro
curious than the praying wheels of tho
ltuddhists, who set tho wheel revolving
and reel off prayers by machinery. As
John I.. Stoddard, the lecturer, said:
"Ono sees, of course, numberless
strange rites connected with religion
In traveling about tho world, but
Japan Is the only laud I have ever
visited whero deities servo us targets
for masticated prayers!"
