Th9 Nest for Cody People is the title of
Russian religious sect which has come into
existence during the last Is years Its head
quarters are of the historic fortress town of
Bender, in the neighboring government of
Bessarabia. and its strange name is due to
the fact that its members-all OF the peas

made OF dried earth) of their habitations, or
else in their gardens, and lie therein until
overcome by hunger, in order, as they say, to
commune with God, confess TO him their sins.
and examine their past lie. To enable them
the better to do this the grave is covered with
a wooden boX-like lid or canopy, having a
door in it for ingress and egress, SO that they
lie in the grave as in coffin, and were 1t not
for small apertures in the top part of it they
would run the risk of being suffocated.
hen the grave or "nest' is in the garden
it is thickly surrounded with bushes for the
sake of greater privacy, and guarded by a
savage watch dog to prevent curious or i'm
pertinent people going near it.
These sectarians pretend that in their
ecstatic moments, and when suffering eX-
IRENE hunger, they see saints and devils, and
some of them are subject to hallucinatiOns
Another popularity of the members of this
sect is that they hold as little conversation as
p Issible with other people, or, ir fact. with
each other; so that the kind OF life which
they endeavor to lead is akin to that of UNI
clustered monks.

The Extended limits Again.

AS far as the public is informed moth
/ ing further has been done to determine
! which is the best plan for laying of the
new part Of the city. One thing is evil
dent, namely, that the present plan is not
| acceptable to those who own the most OF
/ the real estate included in the new limits.
! There is scarcely an argument that can
/ be urged in favor Of another plan
! that has not been already presented in
these columns. The principle argument
/ against the adopted plan is that it will
! take 43 per cent. Of the land for streets
and lanes, thus, not only requiring large
outlay on the part Of the city at this time,
/ or in the near future, for such streets and
lanes, but, with so many thoroughfares
needing light, sewers, and police. largely
I increasing the annual fixed expenses Of
! the city government.
/ The more Of the city's territory that is
enclosed and guarded by private holders,
/ the less is the expense OF caring tor the
city. There has been one great drawback
to this city. 1t is the absence OF any con-
siderable Enclosures in connection with
residences, in which children can romp
.
mothers. The small lots make
IL necessary that children should be
turned out into the streets and squares to
play. There children of all classes are
thrown together, and they learn from
their associates a great deal that is not
proper for them TO know. Our little
parks and their beauties and advantages
are fayorite themes of our citizens. The
parks are doubtless all that is claimed
for them, but many child that is now en-
trusted TO careless nurses, or is allowed
to run free, receives physical or moral
injury in them. 1t would be better for
our children if the residences Of our city
were provided with roomy yards. like the
residences of Macon, Augusta, Atlanta,
Charleston and other Southern cities, so
that children could find at home room for.
play.
OF course it is not possible to remodel
the part Of the city that is already built,
but in the new part of the city
the authorities should so lay
out streets that those Iftyho
want ample yard room may have It..
Ample Enclosures about residences can in
no way be Objectionable, and would be
highly appreciated doubtless by those who
may make their homes in that part OF the
city. While the poor are not more in
terested than the rich in having a diff
ferent plan than that adopted for the new
extension, it is apparent that if the pro-
posed plan is adopted it will be in the in
terest of the poor, because they Will be
able to get a much larger lot for the same
money than they will be able to get if the
adopted plan is adhered to.

The Presidents Purpose.


There is no longer any reason to doubt
that the President intends to make civil
service reform the leading feature of his
administration. If he can establish 1t so
irmly that politicians will not be able to
disturb 1t he will do something that will
cause his administration to be remem-
5ered. In fact, civil service reform offers
nim the only opportunity that, from pres
entindications, he Will likely have 10 give
lis administration distinctive place I'm
history. He may give the country an
administration that may deserve great
praise, but If it has no marked character
site it will attract no more attention a
few years hence than MIR. Arthur's does
now.
In his talk on Wednesday about the
civil service commission, the President
said that ne could not rid himself of the
idea that this civil service reform ia some
hing intended 10 do practical good, and
not a mere sentiment invented for the
purpose of aforaipg au opportunity to
yentIlate high sounding notions and fine
phrases. Theseffew words tell the whole
story. Civil service is the rock upou
which the Ppssldehi has planted himself,
and no amount of pressure from the poll
ticians will be sufficient TO force him to
abandon 1t.
Since the elections he is more confident
than ever he-was- before that his course
is the right one, and that the Democratic
party IS satisfied with It.
Senator Voorhees,, immediately after
the election, -telegraphed him that the
Democratic paty was at his back. Doubt
less he has received many other kilograms
Of the same character. Even those who
have been finding fadlt with him could
not have failed tayAnderstand the signid-
canoe of Tuesdays Democratic victories.
Senator Eustis, when he made himself
be champion of the spoilsmen few
months ago, said that the fall elections
would show that he was right and the
President wrong. 1t is worthy Of notice,
however, that Senator Eustis has not
made any claim for the honors OF n pro-
phet. lie has discreetly remained in the
background.
The truth is the country is very well
satisfied with the President, and the
Democratic victories on Tuesday are all
the proof Of it that is needed. His face is
turned towards reform aud his admins
trat.on is safe and conservative. Even
Wall street, that was opposed 70 turning
the government over TO the Democrats
last year. is so well satisfied with the add
miuistration That il would oppose a change
20 the Republicans again. The President
undoubtedly believes that be ID on the
right track, and those who expect 10 sec
81 change in his policy because Of the
late Democratic success or for any other
reason will perhaps discover that they
are mistaken.

Mary Anderson Is acting IN a real romance,
and that this accounts tor the artitciality Of

think that he, too had suffered. and that she is
the cause of his insanity. DR.. Griffin, the
father Flaw. tells me that she misses the i'm

to which she had been accustomed in England;

The impression appears to be that Mr..
Stead, the editor of the PaU MaH Ga
zette, who took such prominent part in
unwilling the moral rottenness of Lon
don, will be convicted for having assisted
in abducting the girl Eliza Armstrong.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Stead vio-
lated the law. The girl was abducted for
the purpose of showing what could be
done, and what was done, in the way of
trafiicihg in young girls The purpose of
Mr.. Stead, however, as he claims, was a
good one. The revelations which he made
10 the PdU NdU gazette created so mucn
excitement that Parliament at once
passed bill for the better protection of
young girls.
The case against Mr.. Stead is made
out. 1t remains with the jury to say
whether a verdict of guilty shall be found
tits difficult to see how the jury can help
finding any other kind of a verdict! In q
case of this kind it is doubtful ifItdi is Der
missible to inquire into the questibtof in
tent. If Mr.. Stead is convicted, however,
the pardoning power will be exercised
doubtless in his behalf, unless the
governments anxious to have him pun
ished for advertising so extensively the
wickedness of some of England's Oldest
and best. ras "'
