Mr. Dolby's Bad Break. Nobody but Dolby would have asked ouch a question in the first place. “Miss Fairley,” he said, “if yon could make yourself over what kind of hair and eyes would you have?” "If 1 could make^myaelf over,” said Mbs Fairley, “I would look Jtist exactly as I look now.” "You would?” exclaimed Dolby In lionest surprise. Aud to this day he 3s so stupid that he can’t understand Why Min Fairley thinks him a man of little taste and less tact—New York Press.

BLACK ART POWER ON CZAR How Baaataa Km error Is SaM Is Bo HbImI by Oooalfialk. An atmoM Incredible condition of things prevails In the Russian Imperial circle, according to the gossip of court officials, who. Influenced by the prevailing demonUbatio®, talk freely fifrw about court affairs that formerly they would not dare to mention keot they be dismissed or sent to Siberia, says a special St Petersburg cable dispatch to the New York World. The esar himself evinces all the resignation of a convinced fatalist be, tbe caarina. the dowager empress and several high court officials being utterly |omlasted by an Inner cabinet of occultIsta, both men aud women, whose alleged gifts were brought to the knowle of tbe exar. Three of three are In meslou of-the czar’s entire confidence. No step la taken, no decision given, without consulting them. They are the Instruments of the party of tbe grand ducal ring, which now also baa Its peace party, led by Vladimir, whose personal Influence at Tsarakoe-8elo b practically nil. Nearly every day there b a sen net* In the palace, the hour being determined by the receipt of dispatches' whose contents are Immediately submitted to tbe occultist*. At the latest seances the spirit of Michael Feodorovlteh. the first Romanoff rear, has been requisitioned and regularly Instructs his descendant on tbe problem confronting him. Tbe medium b a very beautiful and highly educated young woman of hysterical temperament and thoroughly versed In Russian history. When Mukden fell the dispatches were delivered at the palace at 11 at night, and an occultist conference was Instantly summoned In the rear's private apartments. -11111 lasted four hours, and the rear and czarina are described aa absolutely prostrated after this performance. The spiritist commands are always framed ambiguously so that when obedience to them falls of tbe desired result It can always be claimed that they have been misinterpreted. Tbe dowager empress Is largely responsible for tbe conditions of mind to which tbe czar b reduced by giving an example of complete subservience to these charlatans. Tbe priests are powerless to dislodge the occultists, aa tbe czar has lost faith In them owing to the falsification of their predictions about the triumph of the holy arms. Father John of Ooostadt, who formerly waa profoundly revered by the imperial family, has been forbidden to approach tbe rear.
