Duma or no duma, the Ruaalan people are bound to wla their fight against an Irresponsible autocracy for free government. A frail prematurely old man, with whom I have just had a long talk, has convinced me ;" of that. Felix Cohan la his name a nam well known and honored In Polish 1 and Russian revolutionary circles. He ' ( has suffered as few men have suffered for their convictions. Twenty fears he lias passed In exile In Siberia. The ? hardships he has endured have broken I down his once powerful constitution. ' The worst of them were self-inflicted ' as a protest against tryranny when no ' other means were available.

"Perhapa, he answered with a shrug ' of his shoulders. "But I am needed there and I must go. If they put me away others will take my place. I may lose my life, but what matters If I doT ' The cause will live and It is worth the sacrifice. What Is left of me is only a wreck, anyhow. I am only a type of . many hundreds thousands who are , 'willing to do and endure all that I hare ', done and endured." That la the type that is bound to win In the struggle now going on In Russia. Tells Life Story. As Cohen smoked Russian cigarettes lie told me the story of his prison ex f lierlence. It was a story of martyrdom, v but he told It without the slightest trace of any consciousness that he had done anything heroic. It was in 1SS4 that I was sentenced One Of the rrwt "nrnriiM1 at tha lie conventions was the "Artlstano." I The formal demonstration of the new ! treatlon took place on Wednesday morn tag of laat week In Muslo hall Chlcaso, as stated In laat Saturday's Ttevlew. i vnen a musical was given before a I aistlnguUhed and enthusiastic audience. : i mmmmrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmjfmitmmrmrrm i l I a. w' : J !''&' "PA i : " i I & AXTXUX LOsTwWllU.

The tracker box is hidden under the key bed when not In use and the pedals are concealed behind the lyre, which is solid Instead of ODen aa ordi narily. The "Arttstano" Is altogether a won derful Instrument, and reflects great credit upon Its Inventors and makers.

On What Western Financiers Say of HOME, TELEPHONE, BONDS "At the request of the Horn Telephone company of Portland, we beg to say, regarding the bondt which ther have issued on their plant in this city, that after t full investigation of game, we have taken $50,000 in bond, which hows better than words how we regard them," y Frank Watson, Trefident Merchant!' National Bank, Portland, Oregon. "I have followed cloiely the course of the market on the securities of the Home Telephone companies of aonth ern California, and they have invariably ahown a steady increase in value. After careful consideration, we in vested in the bonds, underwritten by the National Securi ties company, of the Home Telephone companies building In the Pacific northwest" M. P. Snyder, President Cali fornia Savings Bank of Los Angeles. "I have been familiar with the Independent Telephone movement in this city and vicinity. The services rendered by the Independent Telephone company have been so much superior to what the public has been accustomed to receive that the system and ita securities became and have remained deservedly popular. I have handled both the stocks and bonds of tne Home Telephone company with great aatisfaction and profit" W. C Patterson, Vice-President First National Bank of Los Angeles. "I have invested considerable in both bonds and stocks of the Home Telephone company of this city, Southern California and also of Portland, Oregon, and I think they are certainly a safe and excellent investment" Herman W. Hetlman, President Merchants' National Bank, Los Angeles. "Our investments in Home Telephone securities have proven remunerative and satisfactory. We consider them among the most promising securities in public utilities." O. F. Brant, Vice-President Title Insurance & Trust com pany of Los Angeles. "This bank haa purchased from time to time for clients and for its own account bonds of the different Home Tele phone companies of Southern California, and they have, without exception, proven a profitable investment" W. C Durgin, Cashier of Central Bank of Los Angeles. It gives us pleasure to state that we think very well of the bonds and stocks placed in this market by the various Home Telephone companies. A number of our customers and friends have invested in them to a considerable extent and they all appear to be highly pleased with their invest ments. The local company is well established and the system is very popular with its subscribers." W. R. Rogers, Cashier Merchants' National Bank, San Diego, California. the seventeenth day, however, she was removed to another prison. Insane Txom Srafferiar. "Thus this hunger strike ended, but not without claiming its victim. Maria Kovalevska, sister of the famous au thor, Vavanaoff, could not be Informed of the end of the strike, and fasted on for another two days. In consequence of the suffering she grew insane. "A few days luter orders arrived from the governor general Introducing flogging as a punishment for political uneuueiB ana inreaiermig to shoot the convicts if nuletnegja were not restored in tha prison. "We decided, therefore, to send AMONQ TUB CASH PURCHA8BR8 OP PORTLAND BONDS titlon to the mlnisterv of th intXr j and a copy of that letter to the prln- -'k1" vicih nun upap-rn. tjui oerore we could write the petition we heard that Mile.

"The flogging clause was cancelled We had been victorious at last, but tho vii ic i y imu cost us six lives. "The years of 1889 and 1890 have been tne worst ones, although the suf fering had always been more or less ftcute. and we would never have been able to survive it had not our ideals helped "s over many difficulties To escape from the prisons was then Im possible because our party was not so strong, and at that time the Siberian peasants used to hunt and catch us Now, on the contrary, they will help a fugitive convict.

The work of placing the cables in the conduits has already been begun. In in stalling these conduit, it has been . necessary to remove about 500,000 cubic yards of earth. ' Of the 3,200 poles that are being set oy the company all but fifteen were In place Thursday noon. The company now has 514 men on Its payroll on outside construction, and has already expended $130,000 on labor, aside from the work on its new buildings. The two buildings will cost about $75,000 and are just about half com pleted. The second floor of the main exchange and the first floor of the branch exchange will b ready for the switchboard about September 10. The contract for the installation of the switchboards limits the work to sixty days. A number of the large downtown buildings have been wired.Sttding I the Brandeis block and Bee building. Much of this work is being fltSv J nights and Sundays to avoid interference with business. One of the newS features that is being introduced is the method of taking the cables to the buildings. The Independent company will not have a pole in the business district. Instead of the unsightly "can-poles" from which wires are now distributed In each block, the cables go right up the back of the business block in cable rings and the wires are thence distributed. While the conduit system hss been built for 30,000 phones, cables are now being placed for 10,000. A sample switchboard of the automatic system has been placed on exhibition at the company's offices in the Conservative building, and is attracting considerable attention as a great many people seem curious to know what kind of machinery will put any one of 30,000 connections and take It down again, without the intervention of human hand except as the person st the phone may indicate with his finger on a dial.

As one man expressed It you have to riiuw me nisiory or me world to be a money changer. A peculiar part of the business is the reshlpment of coins back to the countries whence they came. Often during the rush season one firm sends back a million coins, while it is estimated that in the rauna nf Ur $10,000,000 in foreign money Is reshipped to Europe and a million to the rest of me woria. Money changing is a business Just like any other. They do not exchange money. They buy it. When you go incio wim luicigu coins iney ouy tnem from you at a stated price.

P., claims to have discovered an infallible recipe for health, saye the London Mirror. He calls . it fosso-therapeutlcs, but this is merely his little Joke. He only means digging, and he expounds his theory in the current number of the Oornalll Mega sine. , Taking as his text an alleged dictum of President Roosevelt "Sweat and be saved," he declares that If perspiration is the acme of physical culture an analysis of the means by which it may oe ootained is not to be sneezed at in frenchman perspires without "'ri. oermans are "even more ad mirably porous," and your Drofessor. s ttlng tranquilly beside his beer, can drip like a laborer In a hayfield." - , Among us this result "can only be o-nnuiea mrougn etsDorate machinery generally disguised as a game." An Encllsh nrnfAMlnnnl mn his bread only metaphorically by the n . c & i m nlH orow. rne lowei bound round a pallid student'a brow rut hsv. "uc iciiuon, ininKs Mr. uwynn, to the practice of a theorist he Knew who wurxea w in nia reet on th hnh mnA a tea-cosy on his head. The objection to salvation by games is that they cost too much In time and money, rencmg and golf are Instances: a gymnasium la "a desperate expedient'' Mr. Gwynn had rather break stones than beat the air with hniw tumH- irons or iigm ones. We must rule out running, because a man Who made a hnhft nt Fiinn(n half a London ' mils a day would ho counted a lunatic "for be could not always pretend to be catching a train." But If you have only a plot of ground In a suburb you can dir. Mr. Gwvnn wonders that the doetora "hv discovered dla-a-ina-." . An antemrisin specialist should X1&4 Uuu wuclr jfuxBeO- up soil haa a medicinal quality In Its exnaiations. one case Should be sent to the clay in Essex; another "dryskin" should soade away at the Uaht loam of Surrey. Those who reject fosso-therapeutlcs mignt try wood-cnopping. Mr. Gwynn has visions of lean, athletic men In a warm glow or health bringing home nea: ounaies or logs in hansoms. But Mr. Gwynn's pet Idea Is digging, which, he observes, has also an educa tional value. No one after two hours' spade work will be quite so pat with denunciations of the "idle working man'' who thinks half a crown little enough for eight hours' digging. He stigmatizes as blasphemous the idea that British devotion to athletic rites generates a kind of "morbid crav ing to perspire." Man. he avers., haa a constitution arranged on tne assump tion that he will perspire dally. If he does not, tne constitution win go wrong in ways iamuiar 10 au Draun-worsers. The) Art of Speech.
