TERRELL, Proprietor A trolley car runs through the streets of Jerusalem. -------------- Professor Hadley of Yale is to introduce a system of instruction in his classes in political economy. He will substitute debates for recitation. English Socialists are not so eager for a division of property, notes the Chicago Herald, since a statistician recently proved that it would only give $4.75 weekly to each adult man and $3.50 to each adult woman in the kingdom. Insurance is considered very desirable by a farmer who dwells within ten miles of Wasneon, Ohio. He went to town and insured his barn. A spark from the locomotive that conveyed him home set fire to the structure he head just insured. The Post Office Department has now a public museum illustrating the growth and methods of the postal service in this and other countries. It includes complete exhibit of United States postage stamps, struck from the original dies, and the current series of stamps of all nations. In view of the intense heat that sometimes makes life wearisome in our own climate, a device employed for cooling the air in the English steamer Norman, which is to sail in southern ----, may be suggestive to American steamboat owners. It is, in brief, the ---ping of the cold fluid from the refrigerators to the roof of one of the cabins. This will chill the air descending from the roof to the cabin through ventilators. Perhaps the best description of the late Czar, and one confirmed by other testimony, is that of M. Lanin, a Russian writer. It is that of a dull man, somewhat rude of manner, and violent of temper when provoked, but naturally peaceful, and possessed of a very deep sense of the responsibility of his position. Not naturally cruel, he believed that certain cruelties were inevitable in the conduct of government, and so tolerated those growing out of the efforts to Russify the empire, and to make the whole population orthodox Christians, the principal cruelties with which he is charged. The prominent feature of his character, however, was his intense devotion to his duty as sovereign, arising from the conviction that God appointed him to reign, and so gave him the necessary qualities for reigning. Therefore, he ruled alone, taking little counsel, confident and whatever course he pursued was that intended by Providence. Much the same idea was held by Napoleon, and later by Gernela Gordon, and each case produced the same results – the assumption of the burdens which it was believed Providence had imposed with the determination to bear them to the end. How inflexible was the Czar’s determination was shown by this mastery of all the departments of government and the transaction in sickness and health of a mass of business which, considered as mere toil, would tax the strength of a day laborer, and under conditions of personal danger which must break down any ruler however strong. The awful weight of the Russian scepter would excuse far worse faults than those of Alexander III and it cannot be forgotten that for more than thirteen years he staved off for Europe the horrors of a general war. GENERAL NEWS SUMMARY Congressman W. L. Wilson, without his knowing or consent, has been figuring conspicuously in the fight of Richmond College students against their newly elected President, Prof. Boatright………. Wm. A. Phelps, a pension attorney of Richmond, O. has been debarred from practice in the interior department for unprofessional conduct.

CHEATING UNCLE SAM Hermann Haye, of New York, indicted for entering false invoices and undervaluation at the custom house, has fled…………………… NOT ALL FOR LOVE At Lake City, Fla. on Christmas Day Jesse Cain, colored, shot and killed Alice Johnson, also colored……………………. GOOD PLACE TO AVOID Christmas morning about 1 o’clock, John Haygood, a young white man, was shot and killed in W. H. Sparr’s saloon, at Arcadia, Fla., by Miles Ward, a policeman. There was a crowd in the saloon carousing, and Ward, who was drinking himself, attempted to put them out. A fight ensured, the lights were turned out, and Ward fired four times, John Haygood, who was on looking and not drinking was shot three times, twice through the head and once through the arm. Ward’s fourth bullet wounded C. Sermons in the arm. Ward fled and posses are in pursuit. If he is caught he will be lynched, as Haygood was a popular young man, and his murder by a drunken policeman has aroused much indignation. HE SHOULD HAVE DIED EARLIER Citizens at Pawpaw, Michigan are shocked at the report that George E. Beck, a wealthy lawyer who died suddenly a couple of weeks ago, killed himself to escape the results of fraudulent transactions. In addition to loaning money he also sold mortgage notes to clients. It is alleged that he sold a number of notes identical with the original and secured by the same property. It is believed that he could not succeed in extending the notes, and finding himself in a tight place, took his own life. Sixteen thousand dollars worth of fraudulent mortgage notes sold by Beck have been found. Dr. Hoyt, who made the autopsy on Beck’s body, insists that death came from natural causes. STEAMER ABLAZE A dispatch from St. John, M. F. says: The cargo of cotton on board the steamer Oakfield is burning fiercely and all efforts to subdue the flames have proven fruitless………………. FATAL FOOT BALL George S. Young, who played right guard for the Frankfort football team and who was injured November 30 in a game with another local eleven, is dead. The time Young was injured he was given the ball to make a run and was heavily thrown, fumbling the ball. While reaching for it he was accidentally kicked in the head by a runner, who was close behind him at the time. He was taken to his home and grew better, but later an abscess formed at the base of the brain, which resulted in his death.

Whatever instructions have been conveyed to the commanders of the respective military and naval forces from the governing powers of the two empires in sot told in the advices, but assurances are given in quarters known to be thoroughly cognizant of diplomatic affairs that the Emperor of China has been prevailed upon to hasten the commissioners to Japan, and that there envoys have such power of concession as will without doubt enable them to bring about an immediate and thorough end to hostilities. The details of their authority are not given, but the presumption is not ignored in diplomatic quarters that the concessions asked by the Japanese government met with the approval of the governing powers of China.

At last account he had killed seven fine ones and only fired three shots.
