Another big enterprise is brewing
for Orange that means a Working

force of from 1500 to 2000 men, year
in and year out, good weather and bad,

“happy hammerers.”
Pitching your voice high in pushing
Orange forward is all right and proper
for the promoter, but fruitless unless
the people put a litde money into
the plans.
One big constructive organization,
under one name, one head, in town
huikiiug, is worth half a dozen fac-
tional organisations widiout plan,
method, or coatiuuous persistence in
following a definite course.
SOUNDS BETTER;
CUSTOMS OFFICE
TO REMAIN HERE
Some time ago when P. N. lngra-
hgm, deputy collector of customs for
port of Orange, was removed from
this city to Beaumont, it
nouneed that the treasury department
was forced to restore the collector
fivmi Utis place on account of the fact
that this jiort, at the prearwt time, was
wit producing enough revenue to main-
tain the office; that Mr. Ingraham was
removed to Beaumont, and only comes
to Orange occasionally to attend to the
business in this port.
The Chamber of Commerce took the
matter iip with the treasury depart-
ment, asking that tke office be re-
stored to the resident deputy class, and
in reply to this letter, James Hr vans,
acting chief of the divisions of cus-
toms, treasury department, writes the
Chamber of Commerce as follows:
“No steps have been taken looking
to the removal of the customs office
from Orange, nor the permanent
‘moral of the deputy in charge at that
=-! place.
“It was found that the work at Port
Arthur and Beaumont had increased
considerably, which necessitated the
employment of sdditionul help at one
to the other of said places. Upon in
vestigadon and consideration it was
found Hist if the deputy collector- in
charge at Orange was detailed to Beau-
mont, the condition of the work at that
point would he relieved and that such
action would also operate to relieve in
some degree the situation which exist
od at Port Arthur. It is wot the in-
tention of Hie department to remove
Hm officer permanently front Grange,
hut instructions have been issued that
said officer shall go from IK-aumdnt to
Orange from H»« to Umc as Ms serv-
ices may he needed and to Attend to
any transactions arising In Orange.”

Was One of the Most Diabolical of
Atrocities Committed By Tyrants
No nation has written its history
with such a bloody pen as Russia.
From the very beginning the pages
are filled with accounts of monstrous
cruelties perpetrated by rulers who do
not appear to have lieen regarded as
particularly distinguished for their fe-
rocity., The acts of these were so ap-
palling that the mind sickens at the
thought of what the really famous
tyrants must have done to bring them-
selves distinction as butchers.
Ivan the Terrible was the first great
example, and he was unquestionably
superlative in all that be did. He tore
out the eyes of the artist who built
the begutiful church of Vassili Bla-
xennoi, to prevent him from duplicat-
ing it. He nailed the hat of an en-
voy to his head because he appeared
in the royal presence without removing
it—-this as a practical joke.
Even more terrible than Ivan was
Peter the Great—terrible in his own
peculiar way, and quite unlike any
other in his fehrful individuality.
Among his atrocities not the least was
the tragic “practical joke” incident to
the marriage of his dwarf. The story
of this, as told by the Courrier des
Ktuts-Unis a number of years ago, is
as follows:
Peter the Great had in his service
buffoon named Nk-kolicff, a dwarf
in site, and particularly ugly in ap-
pearance, but possessed of a mind full
of intelligence and overflowing with
With wit and sarcasm, the exercise of
which even the sacred majesty of the
esar was not always respected. One
day he approached his master and re-
quested permission to marry.
“And who do you suppose would
marry, you?” demanded the czar.
“Catherine Italivaski,” replied the
dwnrf. "
“Catherine Italivaski! That majestic,
beautiful creature, attached as fille de
chainl>re to one of the empress' ladies-
in-waiting! Impossible, my poor Nteko-
lieff! She is young and beautiful, am!
you are old and ugly.”
“She loves me,” said Nickolieff,
swelling with offended pride. “Every
body does not look upon me with the
unfavorable eyes of your majesty."
“You must be very rich, then, or
she would not love you,” said the czar.
“Allowing that to be, I should not
be the first one who has been loved
for bis wealth I” replied the buffoon,
with a cynical smile. “I know of one
far more rich and powerful than
am, who has thought himself loved for
himsrif alone, Instead of for his piles
of yellow gold, and was so plainly de-
ceived that he alone was unsuspicious
of the true object of that affeetton.”
The emperor turned pale with an
ger. and bit his Up until the blood
flowed; for the buffoon alluded to
love adventure of the monarch jyell
be
known at court, but of which none had
dared to speak above a whisper.
“Very well” said he, controlling his
anger by » violent effort. “Sinee you
desire to marry Catherine Italivaski,
you shati do so. ! charge myself with
the whole of the nuptials, and you
will -receive from me toe palace which
you WiU occupy with your charming
bride. Meantime, you are forbidden'
to leave your chamber, under penalty
being made acquainted with the
knout, In comparison with which the
Mows of my wife, which have often
made your shoulders ache, are mere
re caresses.”
Fifteen days after, the first day Of
January, IT*), the buffoon was awak-
ened at daybreak by the* sound »# mu-
sk at door. fMIfc Camber: which

A number of the servants of the czar
entered, clothed him in a magnificent
suit of garments, then placed him ua
a sledge to which were attacked four
of the must beautiful horses in tbe
imperial stables, and, surrounded by a
cortege com posed of tbe greatest lords
and ladies of the imperial court, con-
ducted him to the cathedral of Notre
Dauie de Kazan, where the- nuptial
ceremony was celebrated with splen
dor and extravagance, which not only
reassured but delighted the proud
Nickolieff.
Tbe nuptial benediction pronounced,
tbe happy couple were placed on tbe
sledge, and conducted to an isolated
place, a short distance from the city,
on the banks of the Neva, where bad
been built a palace the like of which
never existed except in fairy tales.
The palace, which seemed to
constructed of crystal and which re-
flected in thousands of luminous rays
the blazing torches of the cortege, was
built of massive blocks of ice, cut out
as if from stone, and fastened with
water in place of cement.
The dwarf and his wife were intro-
duced into an immense ball, the furni-
ture Of which—tables, choirs, chande-
liers, everything—was made of ice, and
were served, in the presence of the
empfcror and his attendants, with
feast of regal suniptuousness.
The choicest and most delicate wines
were served in abundance, and the
goblets of Nickolieff and Catherine
ulso carved from blocks of ice—were
kept constantly filled, until, at a sig-
nal from l’eter, the spouses, stupefied
with wine, were carried to the uuptiu
chamber and placed upon a couch of
solid ice, richly carved and gilded, and
there left, without fire or covering, in
the rigid temperature of « Russian
winter.
Tbe doors of the chamber and pal-
ace were tehn sealed by pouring water
over them, wbieh immediately con-
gealed, rendering them equally solid
with the walls themselves. *
As the cortege withdrew, the cruel
esar remarked:
“Behold! a nuptial night such as was
never witnessed before.”
Eight months after tbe fatal night,
says the historian heveqwe—that is, at
the dose of -the month of August—
this palace' and tomb still existed, and
in an almost perfect state. Certain
portions of the exterior only had yield-
ed to. the influence of the warm wind
and sun, and, inciting had former about
it a species of opaque stalactites. Tbe
monument itself gradually lost its
transparency, and became a dirty, tar-
nished mass, through which It was no
longer possible to distinguish the bod
ies of the frosen lovers, of which the
very features had been long visible.
Another winter passed, consolidating
the fearful tomb anew, so that, two
years later, under the combination of
frost, hail, snow, dust, and rain, this
fairy palace was transformed Into a
little hillock, Mack and hideous to be-
hold. \ > - V.^/C *';V

RURAL SCHOOLS OF COUNTY
ARB SELLING THRIFT STAMPS
- fr-..... '
Several of the rural schools of the
county have taken up the work of
buying thrift atom pa. Through the
efforts of the teachers the,children are
being encouraged to buy stamps. The
best work so far reported is that of
the Gum Grove school, Mias Fannie
Phillips being the teacher. The plan
adopted by Mra. Phillips is for each
child to buy • stomp every Monday,
with the result that out of 82 children
attending tola school, 14 of them are
hn/tag stamps.
n fa hopad that this work' will lie
puabod by toe teachers of the county,
assisted by the various committers,
until every_ child in the county of
school age will become a purchaser
of thrift stamps.

it says some place in the Bible that
when a man prays he should go to

have been inspired, for a dose study
of human nature will soon tell one

try to put, user any bunk because he
hopes It will be read the next day; be
