St. Petersburg, Nov. 16.—The physi- cians attending Count Leo Tolstoi in the little railroad depot at Astapova announced that the celebrated writer was in a critical condition. It is feared he cannot recover. Tolstoi, attended by his lifelong friend, Dr. Makovetsky, and his daugh- ter Alexandra, is lying in an illy ven- tilated room in the station. There is no hospital in the village and few provisions for making the pa- tient comfortable. Countess Tolstoi has not joined her husband, though she is on his vast estate at Yasnaya Polyana, only eighty miles away. His wish that she should not seek him out is as law to her, though she has sent him an urgent appeal, begging that she be allowed to join him in his self-imposed exile. That the count was evidently on his way to Canada to join the fanatical Doukhobors is thought to have been shown by his movements. It is be- lieved he was en route to Sweden, from which country he expected to make his way to America, when he was taken ill. Tries to Cover Movements. Accompanied by his physician and his daughter Count Tolstoi left the convent at Shamardino, where he had been visiting his nun sister. He drove i to Kozelsh and, to cover his move- ments, announced that he was on his way to Moscow, where he has a house. Later, however, he took a train south- bound toward the Caucasus. Tolstoi, dressed in his peasant’s cos- i tume and high hat, had only $17 in his pockets and carried no passports. His daughter, however, managed to secrete some money in his clothes. In almost poverty the wealthy count took a seat in a poorly ventilated third class compartment. By the time As- tapova was reached Tolstoi was so ill that his physician forced him to leave the train. Those who have seen Count Tolstoi believe his mind has become unbal- anced. Taken to Her Husband. Tula, Russia, Nov. 16.—Countess Sophia Tolstoi has astonished her physicians by a demand that she be taken to her husband. She would not listen to objections and became so in- sistent that arrangements to remove her to Astapova were made. Later in the day the party proceeded to As- tapova, the countess being accom- panied also by two sons. JUDGECROSBYDIES SUDDENLY Oldest Member of the Bench in Min- nesota. Hastings, Minn,, Nov. 16.—Judge Francis Marion Crosby of the First judicial district, the oldest judge both in years and point of service in Min- nesota, died suddenly here. He had been indisposed a few days, but was ‘not believed to be seriously sick and his death was wholly unexpected. Judge Crosby was eighty years old last Sunday and had been on the bench for thirty-eight years, having been first elected in 1872. This was his seventh term. Judge Crosby was one of the best known men in Minnesota. He was born in Wilmington, Vt., in 1830 and came to Hastings in 1852. In his na- tive state he had been a member of the legislature. TOO ILL TO STAND TRIAL Case Against Former Congressman Sibley Postponed. Franklin, Pa., Nov. 16.—The audit of the $40,000 expense account of for- mer Congressman Joseph C. Sibley has been postponed until May 8, 1911, by Judge Criswell, who announced in open court that the formal order would be made later. The report of the seven physicians_ appointed to make an examination of Sibley, presented in court previous to the decision, was that the former con- gressman was in no condition to stand the court ordeal. Dynamite Kills Two Men. Watertown, Wis.,, Nov. 16.—A pre- mature explosion of dynamite killed two men and injured three others, one probably fatally, at Camp 11 in the town of Lebanon. The men were em- ployed on the new line of the North- western road. Gus Olson and an un- known man were killed. Salt Lake City Growing Rapidly. ‘Washington, Nov. 16,—Salt Lake City has a population of 92,777, accord- ing to statistics of the thirteenth cen- sus. This is an increase of 39,246, or 73.3 per cent, over 53,531 in 1900. I ——— il T e - — inn s ROBIN J. COOPER. Acquitted of Carmack Nurder on Second Trial. ROBIN J. COOPER 1S FREE Long Drawn Out Carmack Murder Case Brought to Close. Nashville, Tenn., Ncv. 16.—Robin J. Ccoper, charged with the murdar of Senator Carmack Nov. 9, 1908, was acquitted in the criniinal court on rec- ommendation of Attorney General A. B. Anderson. i Thus was closed the final chapter in one of the most celebrated cases in the annals of the courts of Tennes- see. There were only a few persons present. Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, R. J. Cooper and John Sharp were indicted jointly for the murder of Senator Car- mack. The case came up for trial and resulted in the acquittal of Sharp. Colonel Cooper and his son were found guilty of murder in the first degree. The supreme court affirmed the case of Colonel Cooper, but as to Robin J. Cooper there was a reversal. Judge A. B. Neil ordered the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. ROOSEVELT GETTING BUSHELS OF LETTERS Majority of Them Pledge Sup- port in New Fight New York, Nov. 16.—Two thousand letters were received by Theodore Roosevelt Tuesday from all portions of the country. Many of them were sarcastic in their wording, but the vast majority were from men pledging sup- port for a new fight. It is said by clerks in Colonel Roosevelt’s office that since the morning after election more than 18,000 letters and fully 1,000 telegrams have come to him. Some few of these have been of spite- ful character and several telegrams have come “‘collect,” merely stating: “Your visit here turned the town from Republican to Democratic. Come again. A Democrat.” These messages have been the ex- ception, however. Scores of requests have been received from organizations throughout the country to have the colonel address the members during his swing around the country . in March. In a statement concerning election results Mr. Roosevelt says: “On every hand, personally and by correspondence, 1 have been asked to make a statement regarding the elec- tion. So far as I am concerned I have nothing whatever to add to or to take away from the declaration of princi- ples which 1 have made in the Ossa- watomie speech and elsewhere, East and West, during the past three months. The fight for progressive, popular government hgs merely begun and certainly will go on to a triumph- ant conclusion in spite of initial checks and. irrespective of the person- al success or failure of individual leaders.” TWO BROTHERS ARE DROWNED Oldest Meets Death in Effort to Save Younger. Aitkin, Minn., Nov. 16.—Two sons of a farmer named Winnemann were drowned while skating upon a lake near their home. The oldest, twelve years, met death in trying to rescue his younger brother, who fell through the ice some distance from the shore. Ask $4,000,000 for Missions. New York, Nov. 16.—Members of the Methodist Episcopal church in the United States will give $4,000,000 for missions during 1911, if they meet the expectations of the committee of bish- ops who have been in session here for the last week. A $4,000,000 budget of expenditures was prepared by the bishops, half the sum going to the foreign field and half to the home missions. Hunter Kills Companion. Hawkins, Wis., Nov. 16.—Ernest Rhonhild, aged thirty-five, a " deer hunter of Vanceburg, Wis.,, was shot and instantly killed near Hawkins. He was mistaken for a deer by his friend, Bert Chickering, who is an ex- perienced woodsman. The coroner’s jury returned a verdict of accidental death. " MARLBOROUGH’S NOTE. A Scrap of Paper Treasured by the Great- Duke's Heirs. A scrap of ‘paper that carries oue back to the very atmosphere of a great decisive battle in the world's history is among the historical treas- ures of Blenheim House. On the pa- per are a dozen lines scribbled in pen- c¢il. They were written by the Duke of Marlborough at the close of the ficrce struggle at Blenheim. The tumult of battle was rolling westward. where French and Bava- rians were in disorderly retreat. with Marlborough’s cavalry riding tiercely in their rear. The slopes of the hill and the marshy plain were strewn with 30,000 killed and wounded. But Marlborough, with the excite- ment of the great fight yet strong within him, pulled up his horse on one of the little rustic bridges across the Schwanbuch and scribbled these doz- en lines to his wife in London to tell her of the great event. Apparently the duke borrowed the gcrap of paper from some member of his staff, for on the back of it are the faded items of a tavern bill. He used the parapet of the bridge for a writing desk. He had been seventeen hours in the saddle, most of that time riding in the very heart of one of the greatest battles in all history, yet the letters are firm in shape, a curious testimony to that serenely unshakable tempera- ment that was Marlborough’s most striking characteristic. — New York Herald. AN INSOLENT FOP. Beau Brummel’s Impertinence and a Brewer’s Tart Retort. Beau Brummel, the famous English 1s notorious for his insolence ne feathers. At the Pa- shton, he ordered the foot- man to ewpty his snuffbox into the fire because a bishop had taken a pinch unasked. A man whom he had t dinner offered him a lift in his Jersey's ball, “Thank eedingly,” d the beau, “but vilion, at Br how are you to go? You would not like to get up behind, and I cannot be seen in the same carriage with you.” e made no secret of his humble birth and when asked about his parents de- clared that “the poor old creatures both cut their throats years ago eat- ing peas with a knife.” Once at least Brummel met his matcll. He was playing hazard at Brooks’, when a well known alderman, a brewer, was one of the party. “*Come, Mashtub,” said Brummel, who was the caster, ‘what's your bet?" “Twenty-five guineas,” was the reply. “Well, then, have at the mayor’s pony,” said Brummel, who proceeded to cast and by a run of luck on the stake twelve times in succession. Pocketing the money, he thanked the brewer and promised that in future he would drink no one’s porter but his. “I wish, sir,” replied the brewer, “that every other blackguard in London would tell me the same.” . Rolling Cigars. It is common to hear men complain of poorly made cigars, but it is not always because a cigar is indifferently or badly made that the wrapper curls up and comes off. Much oftener this comes from the cigar having been rolled by a maker’s left hand and later smoked from the hand of a right handed man. All cigarmakers must use both hands equally well, and econ- omy both in time and material is the prevailing rule in tobacco factories. When a piece of tobacco is cut for the wrapper it is cut on the bias and rolled from left to right on the filler, and at the same time and by the other hand the remaining pieces are used, being liecessnrily rolled in the opposite way. For this reason the man who holds a cigar in his right hand, which always glves a few twists during the course of a smoke, rubs the wrapper the wrong way, and easily enough it be- comes loosened.—Chicago Tribune.
