MANY PATIENTS FOR PASTEUR Mad Dogs and Wolves Play Havoe at Kezan—Boy Murderers Sent to Sachaline Island—Gossip From 8t. Petersburg. The Realm of the Czar. 8. Prrersnvno, Aoril 20.—|Special Cor. respondence of Tue Bre.|—In Petersburg, the approaching visit of the shah to Gats- china is considered as a prognostic of a Russo-Persian allia Indeed, following upon the immense concessions obtaned from the Persian autocrat by the Russian ambas. sador, Dolgoroukoff, it is sigmficant, and should afford food for reflection in London a8 in Calcutta. In Russia the coquetting of the government in Asia, and its endeavors 10 extend the empire in the direction of India, are looked upon with extreme dis- favor by all, excent a handful of Yingoes of the most rabid order. 'Whilst so very much remains to bo done at home, is the popular argument, what use is there in going abroad ! Doloroukoff has done very well. Russia is authorized to protect militarily, the new commercial route which the Persian govern- ment has engaged to make from Teheran to the Casplon sea, The buy of Mourdab has been thrown open to Russian navigation. The stiah has promised w construct a num- ber of roads trom various centers to the Rus- sian fronticr, In short, Dolgoroukoft’s work amounts to a practical annexation of Persia to Russia. The shah will arrive in Peters- burg on June 2, and not, as reported, May 22, A pamphilot entitled 3 CTHE GERMANS IN RUSSIALY which has just been published in Berlin, and which is supposed to have been directly in- spired by M. de Giers, is attracting consider- able attention in Moscow and Petersburg. The author, who appears a strong supporier of the historical mot ' ordre of Germany, “Dang nach Osten,”’ recognizing the hoj lessness of any conquest of Russia, ad his compatriots to colonize Russia pacifical! and urges on the Germans in the Russian Baltic provinces to resist all attempts of the government to Russify them. Apropos of the Russification of the Baltic provinces, the fight between the government and the Teu- tonic element wages furiously. Quite re- cently the whole municipal council of Riga was hauled up, by order of the minster of ustice, before the court of assizes, for rebel- fon, against the orders of the govern- men'. Exemplary punishment will be in- flicted. The entire judicial system is to be changed, and trial by jury in open courts, which has now been established twen in all othicr parts of Russia, to be tro Moreover, all pleadings are to be spoken in Russian, which is alsoto be the language employed in all logal documents intended to have validity. At the same time, @ clean swecp has been made of the pastors of Teu- tonic sympathies, who have criticized the measures of the government, and only at the og ning of this weelk, twelveof these eccle- 8 were sent to Archangel to stay. Poor M. de Giers may well look careworn. Some kind friend has sent de Giers a copy of the last book published by the colevrated Ger- man pessimist philosopher, Hartmann, and the chancellor has not been well since, Hart- mann’s book is the severest que on His- m rek's policy, of which the petty chancellor i8 80 servilc a supporter, which has ever been made public. He declares that all that Bis- + marck has done of late is to make enemies to Germaiy on every side, and, asa crowning act of stupidity, has alicnated the sympathies of the United States army. He adds thata war between Germany and Russia could in- | 'ro Russia but little, and that in case of a Franco-Russian alliance Germany would be lost, . He advises Germany to conciliate Friince by the cession, or at ieast, the Ol NEUTRALIZATION OF ALSACE-LORRAINE. Vice-Consul Tvanoff, who was sent by the government to Suez to investigate the Atschinoff matter, has just published his re- oort, which, on the whole, 18 favorable to the adventurous ‘Cossack.’ 'Admiral Olry and Captain Viron both speak well of him. The territory, it appears, did not belong to France at all. The bombardment was not preceded by any ultimatum. Atschinoff's comrades give quite a new version of *his ex- cellency’s’ conduct. *His excellency,’ by the Wiy, assorts that the French robbed him of 45,000 Toubles, In One of its last seances the Russian Geo- graphical society delegated . Mr. Piewtzeff, ane of the companions of the late traveler, Przewalski, as leader of the exploring expe- dition in the northeast of Thibet, towards the expenses of which the czar is contribut- ing 70,/ 00 roubles out of the privy purse. The expedition will last one year, and will be voth dungerous and difficult, as it will have 10 cross the country inhabited by the Tau- outes, who live exclusively by brigandage. Ehibet has, in part. alsendy bean oxplored by Przewalsk, whose discoveries there were most nteresting. His report is one of the most surious in the archives of the Russian Geo- graphical society. According to this the de- scendants of the war like Mongolians, who At one time conquered Russia, are 5o poor a ot that, the oxplorer, a' single Russian ad, armed with a rovolver, could put a hun- ired of them to flight. Polyandry is com- mon throughout the country for'a reason akin to the Malthusian theory.

The money has now been some o in'the treasury coffers, but nothing 1s being done, and nothing is being provosed. This suits the revolutionaries, whilst giving HEART BURNINGS TO THE PANSLAVISTS, The revolutionaries say: “If we go to war, ns at present armed, we shall suffer a na- tional disaster. So much the better, for it will 8how us what cowards we have been to stand an absolute despotism so long. Pasteur just now is wanted badly at Kazan, where upwards of 200 persons are in danger of hydrophobia. Last week a large number of people in the outlying districts were bitten by mad wolves, the number of which, doubt- lessly exaggerated, is put at sixteen, and at the ~same time a quantity of dogs wero bitten, which in their turn have bitten people. Immediately a police order com- manding all dogs in the city to be produced for veterinary inspection was_ issued and re- sulted in a perfect holocost of canines. Pa- trols of citizens armed with guns are destroy- ine every dog that shows itself in the street. Most of those bitten were sent in a special wainto Moscow, to be attended to in the hospitals there. 'The ignorant population of Kazan is panie stricken, looking on this oo- currance us an omen of & great calamity to come. The ‘calamity that has. como is bad enough. The last gang of convicts embarked at Odessa on 5, S. Petersburg, for transpor- tation to Sachatine Island, numbered several boy-murderers. Kowalski, condemned to soven years, who killed a priest's widow with an axe, to rob her of 5roubles, is twenty years 0ld. Wachelski, aged nieteen, killed ut him up and buried oront hiding places, and sontouced to seven yeays. Tara who beheaded his step-mother way for fifteen yeurs, is_only six- of age. Ouuibo, & Finlander, convicted of six murders, sentenced to ten years, is nineteen. The lenency of the scutonces appears extraordinary. even in Russia, but 1t must be remembercd that even twelve' mouth’s hard labor in Sachaline Island means death in nine cases out of ten, for none but - the strougest can stand the climate, “Yellow Jack” there does the work of the guillitone or gallows, more hu- mauely, perhaps, but quite as surely. A péasaut named Fenine, fell a victim last weak to the superstition which is very gen: eral In the agricuitural districts round Kazan, that powdered glass taken with rruulc acid is the safe cure for hernia. Cvery woek such cases of death resulting from’ the household remedies among she Peasauts are reported . & peasant in a forest, Ahe fragments in di was K A borrible wurder is reported from the | Liou, villago of Teleneschta, in the government of Kischineff. Some months ago a young farm girl named Katharina married ung work- man carpenter, Tvan Andreovilch, Katar- ina_did_not behave well ang Tyan, to keep her in order, used the domestic knot. Kat- arina determined to have him bewitched into less severity and appealed to the local witch, Barbara, to do the work. Barbara, in exchange for eight roubles, gave her a rwhir o and bade her grind it into wder and give it to her husband with his YI?nd Katarina made it into powder and put most of it into a cake, which Ivan got for sup- per that night. In the night he was taken violently ill, and, after suffering for two days, died. 'The post mortem established poisoning by arsenic. It came out that Bar- bara_was a professional poisoner, who mur dered FOR THE PLEASURE OF MURDERING. This 0ld woman, whose appearance is de- scribed as _revoltingly hideous, said to the Judge at Kischineff nssizes “It's a great I have only poisoned nine men, und I made up my mind todo for ten.” By or confession, it came to_light that she had poisoned her two husbands and six children. An extraordinary case of the religious ex- altation, produced amongst the peasant popu- lation in the Baltic provinces, by the anti- Russian crusade carriod on by the Teutonic pastors, is reported from th age of Rou- min, in the district of Talsen. Zomer, a peasant, appeared in the pulpit of Roumin chureh,'on Sunday last, after the departure of the priest, and, announcing the end of the world as imminent, stated that their only chance of salvation lay in ridding themselves atonce of all their earthly goods, ‘‘wife, child, house, money, clothes, all must go." Suiting example to precept he first emnted his pockets, and then began to ting off his clothes. The others were beginning to fol- low his examblo, when the Auriadnick, or villlage constable interfered, made them dress again and disperse. Similar extrava- gances taking place in various parts of the provinces, the action of the government in sending to take the air in Archangel and elsewhere, the clergymen, who in their zeal in service of the German barons have en- tirely demoralized their wretched parish- ioners with threats of wra‘h to come, seems an excellent moasure, Less excellent is the plan decided upon by the Holy Synod in S Petersburg of sending out a numnber of sp ial preachers to haraneue the peasants of the Baltic provinces back iuto their senses. 1 in denouncing nihilist conspiracies to the Petersburg police is by no means a_pay- ing business just now. The informer usually gets arrested pending inquiries as to his character and financial status. At one time it was as profitable as certain speculators in Paris found the sale of manu- factured Fenian plots to the English Home oftice, but of late it has worn too thin even for Herr Graesser. An Englhshman, who last week had 10,000 roubles worth of infor- mation to sell, is now in jail, and will be kept there until his arrears at his hotel are paid off. Graesser knows now to his cost that no information about what the nihilists are doing can be had until they do. 'ven thousand roubles, nor ten mMlion, would not make it worth a man's while to sell any #enune information. As a matter of fact, the real nihilists are keeping quiet for the present, determined to give Alexander I11. all time to act. As, however, he is using this time now, THE WORST MAY BE ANTICIPATED, Religious persecution, delay in the execu- tion of all reforms, the imposition of irre- sponsible petty tyrants (crown prefects) in the district governments, the neglect of the army, the absence of all foreign policy but one of useless extension, have all been placed against him on the debit side. He is not, however, considered to havi en any line of conduct, but to be hesitati @, and in ex- tenuation of this hesitation tue troubled state of Kurope and the necessarily reac- tionary influence of the execution of his father are admitted. Hesitation for any protracted period will become dangerous, however. A most interesting dog show is now being held in St. Petersburg. Many membe the imperial family are exhibiting the est specimens of their kennels. Specially noticed are the wolf hounds of Grand Duke Peter Nicolajevittn, the pack of the crown priceand the magnificent sheep dogs of Prince ichtenbergski. Prince Dolgorouki, Count ‘olstoi and Prince Wolkonski are also pri: winners. 'I'he exhibition, which numbers 150 varieties, inclndes some curious canine_spec- imens.

How I have watched, as one would do a flow'r, Your many charms, my darling,soft unfold, Longing to shelter you thro' storm and show'r— But you are young, my dear, and T am old ! It would not do to place your slender hand Within mine own, save“for a little space; It would not do for you and me to stan Before the altar in God's sacred place. Another one will come and woo and win A lover with a youth as bright as thine— And I will keep my euvious thoughts within, And pray that you may taste love's joys ivine. May and December are not made to wed, Spring’s sun and winter's snow can never meet. God bless thee! there is no more to be said— And keep thee fair and pure for him, my sweet!

The prevalence of the Directory and Empire fashions revives the fancy for fine _hand-wrought braiding and~ em- broidery. Why is it that we are able to geot so little of such work done in this country? All the best of it is imported, and must be imported until skill is greatly increased among American needle- women. Knowing the wretched wages paid for slop sewing done on contract, some practical women ave trying to dis- cover what stands in the way of our workingwomen that they cannot put thought and intelligence into such dl.uu'.g' stiches as are tuken by the French and Belgians, and so get the finer and better-puid grades into their hand Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller b Directory gown in ner Easter wardrobe, which she shows with some pride as an example of American braiding, but specimens of work as good as the im- ported are rare. 1t is the sume with the costly under- wear. Yesterday one of the Easter brides-elect was choosing her trousseau, writes a New York correspondent. For a single set of under-garments in filmy liven, hand-embrordered till each article was hittle more than lily ys held together by lace tendrils, paid $420, . ould you suppose a woman would purchase’ & suit of that sort ready made? But she couldn’t get it made to order uuless she allowed months of time for the firm to get the work put out to needlewomen in Bordeaux or Marseilles.

HOW BENONI WON SYLVINE, A Poor Mountain Girl Falls Heir to a Milllon—Sad Tale of Rev. Tompkins — A Blind Bridal Couple. Little Komances well that ends well!” exclamation in which the worthy country people, who crowded the 'Cher assize court, yester- day, would doubtless have indulged had they studied in the vernacular the productions of immortal Bard of Avon, says the Paris correspondent of the London Telegraph. The prisonar was a young man—Ben- oni by name—who, unable to melt the heart of a fascinating maiden, Sylvine Gaudion, the pride of their little vil- lage, by repeated offers of marriage, one day revenged himself on this coy beauty by firing on her withu gun which he had borrowed from an oblig- ing friend. Posted behind a hedge, Benoni took aim at the girl as she was wandering down a rustic lane “‘fancy free.” Fortu- nately, however, he missed her, but, curious to relate, the shot took effect 1n a very different manner, and from that hour the fair Sylvine relented. On his return home Benoni was ized with an illness which kept him for two full months between life and death. When, however, he began to recover, the first person whom he saw at his bedside was the object of his flame, who had called repeatedly, and not only forgave him freely but prom- ised him her hand on the sole condition that he should be acquit at the trial. Sylvine pleaded so rmly for her lover in court that the jurymen waxed lenient, and she and Benoni are to be united at no distant date in the bonds of wedlock. The czar of Russia’s second brother, the Grana Duke Alexis, now nearing his fortieth year,is not married, and will probably go unmarried to his grave. Few persons recollect or realize the con- jugal tragedy that marked the early years of this intelligent and handsome prince. He fell in love, long years ago, with a young lady attached to the hou hold of his mother, and, like an honor- able man, he made the woman that he loved his wife. The fact of the mar- riage came to the knowledge of his father, who at once caused the young couple to be separated by the full exer- cise of his despotic authority. The grand duke was sent off on a voyage round the'world, his marriage was an- nulled and his wife compelled, by threats of banishment to Siberia and of total separation from her child, a boy of extraordinary beauty and engag- ing qualities, to consent to n second union with an obscure physician. By this measure ull possible reunion with her royal husband was rendered impos- sible. The subsequent marriage of Al- exander II. to the Princess Dolgourouki, though only a morganatic one might, ou will think, have taught him a little uman feelirng towards his son, and that son’s wife aud offspring. In this tragic story, it is said, is to be found the true reason why the Grand Duke Alexis, though legally unmarried, has refused all negotiations for a royal alliance. After the marriage of his younger brother, the Grand Duke Paul, he will be the only siugle one among the broth- ers of the reigning czar. B A clerical scandul, involving a Ni- agara love romance, is being tried in the courts at Buffalo. Rev. George Tompkins went to Niagara Falls from ingland six years ago and met Miss Lizzie Redhath, a dashing clerk 1n a cataract curiosity store. He returned to Ingland with the intention of mar, ing her as soon as he could get n vorce from his wife. In 1885 the e gagement was consummated, the clergy- man having obtained his divorce. he bridal trip was in BEurope. Rev. Mr. Thompkins was worth £80,000, of which he voluntarily gave half to his new bride. He claims that afterwards his bride’s family squeezed all his money out of him except 49 cents, and then ex- pelled him from the house and ill- treated him. The young wiie churges that the dominie gave her the mon and that she left him because he tr to shoot her for not giving false testi mony in a church trial. Fannie Ellis, a poor mountain girl, living with her aunt near Greenwood, Ala., has just learned that she is heir- ess to $1,000,000. She inherits it from her father, Franklin A. is, who died in 1884 after leading o strange life, dur- ing which he passed under different names. The father, mother and child once lived at Marda, Ill., from which place the father fled, leaving the mother and child destitute. The mother remarried and soon after died. Her second husband also died and the went to live with her aunt, where she has since lived a life of drudgery. Stories are told of several attempte years ago to murder the girl. The re- cent discovery and identification of the young heiress were brought about by one (leveland, of San Francisco, who formerly knew the family. On the death of Ellis one Allen Coffin was ap- pointed administrator, and much of the Erupcrty was sold. Suit has lately een brought to recover it. One of the Danmark’s passengers, Miss Winfried Bjorson, has at last been united to her lover, and is now in Ab- erdeen, Dak., enjoying nuptial bliss, after a storm-tossed journey of a month. ‘When she reachod St. Paul, Minn., she was in a sad plight, as she expected her lover to meet her there. She could not speak English, but her disappointment was soon made known, and a telegram to Aberdeen brought her flance and they were married. A case in which a young lady of Lee county, Texas, availed herself of the privilege of a leap year with a venge- ance, is reported by a local paper. The oung lady is the daughter of ‘John A, faxwell, a farmer and stock raiser, who lives sixteen miles in a north- easterly direction from Giddings, and who is one of the most prominent, highly-respected and well-to-do citi- zens of the county. The novelty about the elopement is that, instead of the young man stealing away the bride #nd assisting her in her flight, she actually went after and stole him away. At the dead hour of the night, after they had retired, she stealtnily left the house, went to the lot and saddled a horse, and started to her lover’s house in a blinding rainstorm. In order to reach his home she had to swim & creek. After accomplishing this brave feat, she was sufe, for by the next morning the water was spread all over the bot- tom and pursuit was 1mpossible, Every ploasant evening, in that hour just before twilight, which we all love to idle away with inconsequential thoughts and observations, there Yuun my window a couple that greatly inter- OMAHA DAILY BEE SUNDAY MAY 12, 1889—SIXTEE PAGES. ests me, says a*Writer in the Toledo Blade. The uul{i!but 8 young girl, it seems, and she Had ‘such a pretty face, n? white and peaceful, with something of a sadness in it;something of joy. She has great eyesthat stare strangely at you, and, at the sound of her compan- ion’s voice, their'lidd are drooped, and the long, graceful -eyelashes tall upon her cheeks. The man reminds me of one of the old Saxons. He is big and strong, and has the curly golden hair and the big blonde Beard of that race of men. His compimion hangs on his arm, and yet he seems to depend upon her a8 much as she oh him,for they cling very closely indebd ‘together, while he carefully picks their way out with n light cane. Both are blind. I inquired about them the other day. Neither over saw the light of day. Neither can ever know how glorious the sunlight is, how prettily blend the beautiful hues of the flowers, how grand all nuture looks. Neither ever saw the other and yet thoy are u bridal pair, They only live in a world of darkness and in each other. They met long ngo, became devotedly attached to each other and were married. And so now y evening, when the weather is fine, o out for alittle stroll,and as they , carefully walk past my window T think—"it is a sad yet protty sight—a blind bridal pair!” A very romantic wedding oceurred at Seattle, W. T., on the 12th of March. The interested parties were Miss Eva Helmick, daughter of Isanc Helmick, of this city, and niece of the late Hon. William Helmick, of Washington, and Frank Sparling, who owns a large cattle ranch in the territory. Miss Eva, just for fun had answercd a personal in a Chicago paper. The gentleman dis- closed his real name, and the corre- spondence. which was kept up regu- larly, ripencd into a genuine love affair. Sparling finally proposed matvimony. Photographs were exchanged and mat- ters beeame seriou M, rling seemed porfectly honest and sincere, disclosing his occupation, standing, ete., which, of ecourse, in- spired the utmost confidence in Miss Helmick. He finally proposed to fur- nish her a transportation ticket and bear all traveling expenses if sho would wnd investigate for herself, and, chrate i nts thought the trip s0 the ticket > returned, very relue- tantly, however, on the part of Miss Lva. The_ ecorrespondence was con- tinued, and in a short time the propo- sition was renewed, and this time ac- cepted for better or wi N The arrangement was that Mr. Spar- ling should meet his lady Seattle, W. month.. M heart, star with a brave long journey. After six weary days and nights, sho arrived at the appointed place, and there met her fffidnced. The couple proceeded at once to Snohomish, a towu where Mr. Spacling was well known, and, calling in & minister, they were married in the hotel in the presence of 100 well-wishers and friends of the groom. The bride is one of the most accomplished young ladies of New Phi ladelphia, O., and the husband s very high in the community and is very wealthy. From t nning to finale the courtship and murringe was most ro- mantic. Our readers will remember that but a few weeks ago, says, the Deadwood Pio- neer, in the prairiefire thutswept Pen- nington and a part of Lawrence county, o Miss ‘Eloise Madison lost her life. i was her death, the romance developing subsequently only adds to the sadness of the occurrence. Itseems the young lady had been betrothed to an enevgetic and worthy gentleman of Iowa. The latter, unaware of her terri- ble fate, came aim his bride. s only broken to him on his arrival at her sister’s ranch, on Elk ereek. He was heartbroken,and faintel when he learned it. The next day he started home. Three days after reaching which, the telegraph brought news of his death—the heart strings were strained too hard and broke. Eighteen years ago a family of Hol- landers, conisting of father, mother and five daughters, arvived in the state of Michigan and located 1n the village of Schooleraft. The parents were taken sick, the mother died and the father unable to speak a word of English, was not expected tolive. The kind-hearted villagers not knowing what better to do, sent the children to the orphan’s school at Ouldwater, from which each one was adopted by some family and taken to various parts of the United States. After atime the father recov- ered. and acquiring a knowledge of the English language, began a search for his children. His efforts were in a few years crowned with success. All of the children, except one daughter, whose whereabouts baffled search until a week or 80 ago, were restored to him. Hardly more than twenty days ago the father learned his daughter wus a resident of Deadwood. Correspondence was at once opencd with people who knew her, of separation and estrangement for years, are about to bereunited. —_— In the Woods, Danske Dandridge in the Independent, What is astir where the shadows are dense?
