THE CZARINA'S ALLOWANCE. Why Her Illehneas' Decision 1b Regard to Tobacco Wu Speedily Chanced. Some time ago the czarina, who is a. very philanthropic woman, made up her mind that the lavish use of tobacco in Russia was doing harm. She thereupon prohibited the use of the weed, and especially of cigarettes, in court, says the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.

A few days passed and her imperial majesty needed some money. It did come, even after she had sent a confidential servant to the treasury. At last, in place of money, came a white bearded old man from that institution, with pleasant voice and attractive address. "There must be a mistake, your imperial majesty. Two weeks ago you prohibited' the use of tobacco in the court, and so great is your influence and so deep the love for you amon" the people that the sales of the weed dropped down to a fraction of what formerly was the case, and the internal revenue receipts became less than the expenses.

The government pprciated your high munificence, because under the law of the land your income is charged against the to ba ceo tax of this district, and it was upposed that you had concluded to give up your wealth in order to carry out your views upon reform." The following week, so the story goes, the rule was relaxed, and the czarina's sudden poverty vanished as if by magic. An Apt Illustration.

Cele A BISHOP AT GRACE CHURCH News of the Services in Churches Yesterday. the The decennial of Christ Lutheran Church, one of the most nourishing of the Allison Hill Church as celebrated yesterday at the church ri Thirteenth street, and brought together many of the prominent Lutherans of the city. It was a joyful occasion and marked by some reunions.

The anniversary observance began with a reunion raver meeting, held by the original members of the forty five of the sixty wo being present Abraham birnnions led and there were pravers by different members of the original congregation. The anniversary sermon, which was preached im the morning by the pastor, the Eev. M. H. Stine, Ph.

was an ex cellent discourse and was most appropriate to the celebration. He chose as his text, "Hitherto the Lord Has Helped Us." Ho first spoke of (jrod helping in nature, say ing that He helps there ad the time The German philosopher, Haegcl, lie said, once declared that an organism is the adjusting of parts for the production of the phenomenon) called life. Dr. btine concluded his sermon with a number of references to the prosperity of the congregation and in what manner it had been helped by Cod. He said that the past had beert most encouraging and that the prospects held forth by the future are very good.

The music was exceptionally good, Miss Douglas singing the solos. In the afternoon a special service was held by thei Sunday school and in the evening an excellent programme was rendered, including a. trio by Mr. and Mrs. F.

J. Wallis and E. A I Hefffefinger. Dr. Stiina preached on this occasion on "Hold fcr the Faith." This was an argumentative discussion supporting the Bib'e as the Word of Gad.

Additional mmsic was rendered To night there will be a union Lutheran meeting in celebration, of the anniversary and refreshments will be served after the session. BISHOP G00DSELL HERE ine well Known Methodist Clergy man at Grace. The pulpit of Grace M. E. Church yes terday morning was occupied by Bishop xj.

A. uoodsell, who preached a powerful sermon, taking lor Ins text 1st chap ter, 27th verse. On the platform were the Rev. Dr. J.

W. Hill, the Rev. Dr. Swallow and the Rev, J. J.

Leilich. Dr. Hill offered the invoca tion, and Dr. Swallow the opening prayer. Bishop Goodsell said in part: "Terseness is a quality not many possess, putting the truth in a nutshell, so to speak.

Still our country has presented some noted ex amples of men who could. I might mention two of our Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, who said: 'We are confronted by a condition and not a and you all remember Grover Cleveland and 'innocuous If any one thinks it is easy to put the truth in a few words so everyone can understand it, just let hiin try. But Jesus put the truth simply and in few words so that every one understood it, and we to day may understand it even more fully than they '('hi. is an age of specialists. No oi i he master of more than a single truth.

"Next to Christ, I would say St. Paul was the greatest portrayer of truth the world has known. We should not stop speaking the truth because we cannot tell it all. Words are powerful factors for good or evil, and we should weigh well our words. What is a ystery? The blowing up of the 'Maine' is a mystery: that is the blowing up is a fact, but the cause is a mystery.

The mystery of the gospel is the love of Christ. We did not come to Christ; He came to the world. AVe must not, as a. church, wait for the people to come to us; we must go to them. Every parable of Christ's has its spiritual meaning.

The stilling of the storm represents Christ speaking peace to the storm tosesd soul. The healing the sick of the palsy, the power of the gospel of Christ to put new life into the paralyzed and sin sick soul. Kepner, the great astronomer, was a lonely man, because no one understood or sympathized with his great theory and truth. Christ was joncly because no one believed in or thoroughly understood Him or His purpose. He was 'a man of "In one sense we are all heirs of a great past.

Science tells us there are cell forms in our brains which are a reproduction of actual forms vlrch existed in a by gone age. In this piise we can understand howe some one lives again in us. There is a great deal of truth in the saying 'There is nothing new under the How often do we see a face, after a lapse of one Hundred years or more, reproduced in the third or fourth generation. Any who ha ve old family portraits know this. Christ only lives in us as one.

Bring him out of the past. What is the. force that is to bring Him? It is love that is to work the transformation. If we only fear God do not love Him. we will never be like Christ.

Love works wonders. The love of a pure woman will alter the course of a man's life and make a new man of him. Love transforms the giddy girl into the self sacrificing wife and mother. The works of Scott, which were prompted by love, will live forever, while his Tvife of which was the work of liate, is already forgotten and practically unknown." The Bishop spoke of true hope and false hope, and said the Christian's hone was true, because it was founder on Christ. Bishop Goodsell dosed by asking his hearers to accept the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ, which was the truth that could make them free.

The bendiction was pronounced by the Rev. J. J. Leilich. AT ItF.TIII.EIIE.U Aiinoniicemeiit Made of the Passion Week Sfrvicem.

During1 the past two the company has purchased the property owned by Mrs. Aaron Shreiner, east of RL tower.

The property consists of a dwelling house and barn and several acres of land. The buildings will be removed and the ground used by the company for yard pin poses. The company's purchasing agent has also been busy at Rockville, and already hn options on several properties. These properties are situated just south of the approach cf the present railroad bridge which crosses the Susquehanna River and between the Pennsylvania Canal and the river. The following properties have been purchased or are about to be purchosed by the railroad company: From Mrs.

Elizabeth Free, widow of Captain J. W. Free, a dwelling house an 1 store room and also a tract of land east of the Pennsylvania Canal; from the Dawson estate, three dwelling houses adjoining Free property on the south; from Mrs. Priest, a dwelling house and lot of ground south of the Dawson property. On the oast side of the canal the company will like'y purchase a portion of tha Bitting tract of land.

These properties will all he used to build the eastern approach to the immense tons arch bridge across the Susquehanna River. It is said that other properties will be purchased later, which will be used for track purposes south of Rockville: and west of the present railroad tracks. One of the members of the firm of Drake Straiten, who have, the contract fcr the erection, of the new bridge, was in, Rockville several days last week and stated that their material and machinery fcr the work would be shipped in a few days, and that, they would be on the ground no later than April 1st ready to beg i iii work. The bridge will be a four track strue tu re. and it is believed that stone bridge can oconstructed in these times of high prices fcr material at least $100,000 cheaper than, an.

The contract calls for the erection of the shore spans and as many of the river spans as the contractors can erect up to December 31st, when the present contract will expire. The com tract or who gets tho most spans erected during that time will get cash prize and the other contracts as a bonus. Kerbaugh Co. have the eoHiitract.

32 North Third street. "BILL BACK ACHER." A Story of Hard Field IVorU India with General Gatacre. in An Indian correspondent of M. A. P.

tells a little story of Gen. Gatacre. He was in command of a district in India, and there had been a field day. This, with Gataere at the head of affairs, means a good deal more than it does with the ordinary general. There were long marching, forced marching and mimic hill warfare in full field order, and Tommy sweated for hours.

How many miles had been covered I will not attempt to say. Some allege "0, others 120, but anyhow the long day was at an end, and, disheveled and footsore, the troops marched back into camp. 'Twas then that I heard this delightful little dialogue: "Tired, Bill?" said a private to a comrade. "No," unblush ingly came the reply. "Well, Bill, seeing how it's all over, I think I shall just drop into the canteen and have a quart of ale.

What are you going to do, Bill?" There was a pause. "Do, Enery?" said the dust begrimed Tommy. "Well, Enery, I shall just go and have a bit of a wash, and then I think I'll go for a walk." The tale went round many a table in the land of exile, and no one who knew Gataere failed to laugh outright when they heard it. Tommy thinks the world of Sir William, however; his only objection 5s that "he does make 'em work" wherefore hath he been nicknamed "Backacher" by his men. COATS THAT LAST A CENTURY.

Ah Sin in Ills Native Land Highly Prizes a Venerable Garment. Gentlemen who take delig ht in sartorial changes as frequent almost as those of the moon might learn a lesson from John Chinaman, with whom, even though he be well off, it is felicity to wear his grandfather's coat. Xot only is the common looking, shapeless blouse of his ancestor prized because it is his ancestor's, but because of its intrinsic value. The clothing usually worn by the Chinese is of the purest sdlk and costs anywhere from $100 to $200 a suit. As a nation the Chinese object to wearing clothing of any other kind, and centuries of experiment have taught them how best to make up the costly caterpillar thread into the most, durable form.

On this account the Chinese dress, though of purer material, has none of the sheen usually associated with silk, a. peculiarity which has resulted in the erroneous ideas as to their composition. All the garments are made in China and are only exported for the personal use of celestials in foreign countries. Owing to their cost, however, they are only purchased at long intervals, each garment being of so durable character that they are handed down to the third and even the fourth generation.
