Woodland, water and a cloudless sky formed the framework of the picture, the foreground of which was occupied with ft number of boats sailing on the surface of a broad river and manned with warriors, oddly dressed and wrangling among themselves In loud tones. They regiwere the famous Bombardier ment which had achieved feats of prowess a few weeks before during the battle with the Swedes, and their "captain" was the most Imposing figure of them all, sitting In the prow of a stout vessel ahead of the rest The weather was bright and bracing, and the breeze caused the face of the blue, as It lost broad Neva to wrinkle, Itself In the Finnish gulf. The captain" stood with his back to the sea, gazing at the smiling Islands In front, which were literally covered with dense forests; indeed, had it not been for the nolsy tongued men on the boats he might have fancied himself In ft country theretofore unvlsited by man. ' The whole district, Swedish down to ft couple of weeks before, had .recently been taken by the Russian troops.

Henry Knox , commander-in-chiefofficer became when holding office until June, 1784, ho was mustered out along with most of tho army. The rest, consisting of to-da- few of his officers, was making his way to the center when a curious sound in the air above arrested his attention. Looking up he beheld a great eagle flapping Its wings noisily, soaring up to a dizzy height and then swiftly des cendlng to a spot not far from where he stood. He did not then know that it. was a bird tamed by the men who were wont to load the boats with timber, but looked upon Its appearance as a good omen for hts undertaking. Seizing a bayonet therefore, he cut out two sods of the turf, placed them one on the other like the beams of a cross, then made a wooden cross from two boughs and, pressing It into the In the name of sods, exclaimed: Jesus Christ, let there be a church on this spot, and let Its name be those of the chief apostles, Peter and Paul!" And It was all he had said. The church, with Its golden spire, now surmounts the tcrrtbla fortress In which many political prisoners have miserably, and the city perished around It Is St. Petersburg, for the was Captain of the Bombardiers Peter the Great Such Is the legendary tale of the foundation of the northern Palmyra, which Is said to have been Jotted down by an officer of tbe corps at the time, and to have been laid In a gold casket, which still lies among the foundations of the fortress. at a Devoted Student of Economic Questions. Henry D. Lloyd, a devoted student of economic questions, died of pneumonia at Chicago last week. Mr. Lloyd was widely known, not only In the United States, but in Europe, as the friend of the wage worker, and as an authority on all matters pertaining to the toller and his welfare. He was born in Belleville, N. J., near Newark, May 1, 1847. H!s father was Rev. Aaron Lloyd, a clergyman of the Dutch Reformed church. A brother, Demorost Lloyd, was a celebrated playwright in his day. Henry D. Lloyd received his early education In New York city. When a young man he studied In Columbia University, and after he was graduated he took a law course; in 18C9 he was licensed as an attorney. During the next three years Mr. I.loyd was assistant secretary of the American Free Trade League, organized by William Cullen Bryant, David fn A. Wells and other famous men. the young man was also actively engaged In organizing the Yonng Mens Municipal Reform Association, which contributed Its share In the demoralization of the notorious Tweed machine. In that cam algn Mr. Lloyd The prepared a manual for voters. title was Every Man Ills Own Voter,' and the pamphlets were distributed in every section of New York city, and helped to open the eyes of the citizens to the macbtnatlons of Tweed and his gang. Mr. Lloyd then went to Chicago. In 1873 he was married to a daughter of William Bros, once lieutenant governor of Illinois. As a Chicagoan Mr. Lloyd continued his work among the people. Through magazine articles, lectures and personal labors among the masses he came to be considered an authority on sociological questions. Several years ago he went to New Zealand, where he remained six months studying economic conditions. Ono result of this trip was a bool, enti led A Country Without Strikes. He was also sent by the Allied Trades Unions of the United States to represent them at the International congress In Berne, Switzerland. A few months ago Mr. Lloyd was associate counsel with Clarence Darrow before the national arbitration commission. The miners rights were advocated by Mr. I loyd In a speech which was warmly praised. Ho was a producer of many books and treatises. Wealth vs. Commonwealth" and Making Bread Dear" are among the creatures of Ills brain.

Several members of the medical profession 'were present at .he operation, and others have seen the animals, and they all agree that such a case has never before been known, neither can any Idea be given as to the origin of the animals.

During her provincial tour she determined to keep her Paris theater open with a revival of L Alglon," In which her latest protege. young Max. was to play the hero. But Sarah has worn L'Alglona breeches so effectively that the Parisians refused to accept any mere man to the role.
