Orders to Use Bullets.
Thorn, Prussa, Oct. 28. A message
from a reliable source in Warsaw re
ceived here yesterday Bays that an In
cendiary fire that started there Fri
day night has not been extinguished,
tnd that part of the city is in flames.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 26. Warning to
to tho people that In case of disorder
tho soldiers will Are ball cartridges
was postod on every street corner yes
terday. Tho city is calmer on tbe sur
face under the rigorous measures
adopted by General Trepoff, and ho. In
order to restore confidence, directed
all shop-keepers to take down tho
boards from shop windows during the
night, and the city awoke to And the
shops reopened.
Little squads of soldiers are scat
tered along tho streets and In tho mar
kets to preserve order. Neverthe
less, beneath the surface thero Is
much excitement. The revolutionists
have spread the tidings that a revolu
tion has begun and the city is filled
with the wildest rumors. A story is
afloat that a provisional government
has been established.
Through the task of continuing the
general strike more than a few days
scorned utterly hopeless to the prac
tical minded. It is significant of the
deep-rooted craving for liberty thut
tho agitators have experienced little
difficulty in inducing all classes of
workmen to join In the anti-government
demonstration.
At a meeting -of delegates from tho
professional unions, comprising doc
tors, druggists and lawyers, it was
decided to strike today until a con
stituent assembly Is summoned.
The late advices from Minsk, Kleft
and Saratoff are disquieting. With a
slnglo exception the newspapers ot
Kleft havo declared in favor of a
strike. All the drug stores in Saratoff
aro closed und tho towns are without
nrtiflclul light and no newspapers aro
published. The Saratoff Town Coun
cil has orgnnized a committeo for the
protection of the citizens.
Tho stores in St. Petersburg havo
ceased running and the employes ot
the Dureau of Ways and Commuui
catloiis and even tho bank and office
employes hnve agreed to affiliate them
selves with tho movement. The
printers have resolved upon a unique
demonstration to volco their demand
for a free press. Thoy havo decided
not to print a single regular news
paper today, but Instead to publish
clandestinely an uncenscored paper for
distribution by the workmen, contain
ing the dotails of the proletariat for a
constituent assembly.
Just when reports were abroad that
freedom of assembly would be grant
ed, a bad Impression has been created
by tho publication In tho Official Mes
senger of a belated set of "tempor
ary" regulations, threo columns in
length, dealing with the right of as
sonibly, which will require three to
seven days' notice to the police ot tho
object of the meeting, with the namos
ot the speakers, etc. Then, if permis
sion Is granted, the police were em
powered to close the meetings If opin
ions were uttered which are supposed
to threaten public order.
Tho Russ, now tho leading organ of
the Constitutional party, declares that
Count Wltte's accession to power will
not sntlsfy tbe peolo unless ho comes
forward with a program that meets
the wants of the nation. Only abso
lutely solid guarantees for the tuturo,
tho paper declares, can now renssuro
tho peoplo that the past will not re
peat itsolf.
Privato reports received here aro
said to confirm tho stories of the mu
tiny on board tho battleship Catherine

In tho Interior of Russia the peoplo
have nolth mall nor newspnpors and

The especial characteristic of tbe
Irish peasuuts, according to Prank

ioned courtesy. They aro all sure, he
asserts, thut they are descended from
chiefs, and their manners aro ruled ac
cordingly. Tnke shelter In any hut on the moun

liunutes had been longing to seo you.
This will not be due to tho fuct that
you seem prosperous; Indeed; you
would be even more gruclously wel
comed If you were in rags. Nor Is their
courtesy only exhibited wheu they are
hosts. Once when I was exploring tbe
Burrcn of Clare a ragged old woman
seated by the wayside accosted my
equally rngged driver: "Excuso me.
sir," she suld, "but did you buppen to
meet a loaf on the road? Deed then,
ma'am," said ho, bowing respectfully,
"nnd I'm sorry I did not" "Who was
she?" I asked him when we bad driven
out of her hearing. " 'Deed then, nnd I
don't know," said be. " 'Tls somo poor
soul that bus lost her loaf and will he
goln' to bod hungry tonight." On an
other occasion an aged man, clad In
kneo breeches and a swnllowtnil coat,
addressed me nB I was climbing a path
lu Couucmura. "I am thinkin', sir,"
snld be, "that you are Mr. John Hlake."
"Well, sir," snld I, "you are thinking
wrong." "Well, sir." he answered sol
emnly, "says I to my.self us 1 saw you
come up the side, thut Is .Mr. John
lllake, and if 'tis not. says I to myself,
'lis a. fine upstbandlu' young man be Is,
whoever he is." Now I am convinced
thut he knew I was a stranger, but was
not thnt n charming way to sugpjost
that I should sit beside him ou the low

Andrew D. White's first diplomatic

many American adventurers. "Oup

Mr. White says, "brouglrt a militia
colonel's commission and tho full uni
form of a major general. At first be
hesitated to clothe himself lu ail tils
glory, nnd therefore went through a
process of evolution, beginning first
witli part of his uniform, nnd then
lidding more ns his courage rose.
"During tills process ho became the
standing joke of St. Petersburg, but
later, when he hnd emerged lu full nud
final splendor, he became a man of
mark; indeed, so much so thnt serious
dlitlcultiea arose. Throughout the city
are various corps de garde, and the
sentinel ou duty before each of these,
while allowed merely to present arms
to an ofllcer of lower rank, must,
whenever he catches sight of a gen
eral officer, call out the entire guard
to present nrms, with the beating of
drums.
"Here our American was a source of
much difficulty, for whenever any sen
tinel caught sight of his gorgeous
epaulets in the distance tho guard was
lustantly called, arms wero presented
aud drums beaten, much to the de
light of our friend, but even more to
the disgust of the generals of the Rus
sian nrmy and to the troops, who thus
rendered absurd homage aud found
themselves taking part In something
like a bit of comic opera." Exchange.

The tune is much older than the words,
probably as old as the days of Henry

great favorite with the cavaliers. A
modified version is found in tho "Beg

was very proud. Ho was fond of
showing off how ho could flick a fly
from either of his leaders' ears with
out touching the horse. This accom

unexpected locality, for ho always car

There aro many geisha training

all Is, I think, the -one in Kioto to
which I, with some difficulty, gained
admittance. It Is upparcutly a delight
ful place, but It Is a place of unremit

these schools by their parents or guard
ians at the age oftentimes of six
years, and for ten years at least thoy
aro put through such a courso of traili

less Inured to unquestioning obedienco
to authority. Their physical training
is of great importance, of course, and
each little girl must go through such
exercises every day us wlU keep her
little body flexible as rubber, and after
thut Is finished she must devote her
timo to tasks that far exceed in diffi

No woman of ordinary mind can pos
sibly become a successful geisha, be
cause she must be able to acquire and
make mo of every kind of worldly
knowledge which will lend to her con

will lead men to seek her society. The
dancing and the music are the least

' A Street Scene, Bombay,
A man clad only in a yellow scarf
and turban opens a mouth stained
with the vivid vermilion of betel juice
to show that the mango seed just
swallowed has already become a small
tree with green leaves pushing toward
the light. A woman appears next
upon the scene, bringing a crying bnby
in a closed hamper of bamboo. A
dozen swords aro Instantly thrust
through the Interstices amid the ear
piercing yells of tlio supposed victim,
but as soon as the formidable blades
are withdrawn the nine lived Infant
tumbles out of the basket and salaams
to the assembled audience, holding out
her tiny brown hand for the well de
served backsheesh.
As the fun waxes fast and furious
sundry qunrrcls and recriminations be
tween the rival magicians attract the
Intervention of the native police, who,
"dressed in a little brief authority,"
symbolized by red turban and blue
tunic, soon disperse the performers,
bag nnd baggage, hastening the en
forced departure with unlimited kicks
and thumps, submissively received.

Why Hm Vaatod at Tannem,
Application was made at half
doaen stores before the man could get
one ten dollar bill for his roll of ones.
"I don't see," said the man's com
panion, why you went to all that
trouble. You ore going to pay the
money right over to your tailor. Why
didn't you give him the oca dollar
bills r
"Because It would moke a bad im
pression," was the reply. "1 am broke,
but I don't want him to know it When
ever you get In that fix pay your debts
in the largest bills that yon can get
hold of. It enhances your value in the
estimation of tradesmen and paves
the way for furthor credit A fellow
will think a heap more of you If you
pay with one five dollar bill than with
five ones. A handful of chicken feed
indicates that you have had to bustle
around pretty lively to get the money
and that there Isn't mnch left where
that came from. A man who really
has money can afford to pay in pennies
if ho feels like it but he who has nttle.
can keep up bis credit only by using
large bills." New York Press.
Handcla Appetite.
Handel was blessed with a wonder
ful appetite, and many are the amus
ing accounts, true or otherwise, as to
the means taken by its owner for its
indulgence. IDs gastronomic propensi
ties wero frequently the object of en
tires, and In one caricature the com
poser is represented as sitting on s
beer barrel. A bom and a pair of
fowls are attached to the pipes of an
organ, a turbot lies upon a pile of
books, and tho floor of too apartment
is strewn with oyster shells. It is
more likely that his adversaries in
vented and propagated many of the
wild stories concerning his eating and
drinking powers than that they had
any foundation In literal fact No one
would probably order a dinner for
three persons for Instance, and be
cause it was being kept back for the
company to arrive blurt out to the as
tonished waiter: "I am de gompany.
Bring up de tinner bretissimo."
