STREET EXTENSIONS.

The CALL is in receipt of numerous pro-
tests against the Sixteenth-street extension
Allowing the facts TO be as stated, the rea-
son why the extension should not be made
seems conclusive. People who have made
homes under natural conditions have a
right to insist that those conditions shall
not be disturbed in the interest of specnla-
tors. The advantages Of G cut through the
hills from Castro street TO First avenue
should be clearly shown before the work is
ordered. aud even then. persons whose
property will be injured thereby should not
be assessed. The speculative schemes Of a
class Of real estate operators are TO an ex-
tent the cause of the present depression in
real estate. A man in financial condition

Keep his money in bank TO taking the
chances OF assessmef is for one purpose and
another. Assessments for street and sewer
purposes are inevitable, but others, Of
which the Sixteenth-street extension seems
TO be one, are a source of constant appre-
henson TO investors.
From one OF the many protests sub
mitted we make the following extract:

NOV Ign Has Not Yet Secured His Cove te Il
Divorce.
John NJ. McVegh was a much disap-
pointed citizen, taxpayer. and voter yester-
day because Judge Hebbard would not
grant him the divorce which he sought from
Mary McVeigh on the ground OF her deser-
ton on July !, 1890. after marriage in Feb
ruary, 1883. She did not contest and her at
torney stated in court that she was quite
willing that John should have the divorce
by default. McVeigh was at his wits ends,
however, 10 assign cause for his wife's
deserti0n. he only knew that it was i'm
possible for MIN and her TO live togather.
Did you ever ask her TO return?" asked
the Judge.
81 did several times. She'd only shrug
her shoulders and say she'd never keep
house Tor any man again."
Did YOU ever talk with her any time
about getting divorce?"
Yes. She said: We'll, you just dc, and
you'll see what"
Did she consent to a diyorce?"
I'VE ell, not exactly"
Then counsel suggested that the case was
"a most remarkable one OF incompati-
billty"; but this was an unknown cause for
divorce TO Judge Hebbard and, strongly
suspecliDg that there had been an agree
ment to secure this separation. he advised
the attorney TO find some more substantial
testimony and call again in few DAYS

A RUSSIAN FARM SCENE.

This coat has long skirts, and 1t is made
very large 80 that the cabby can stuff his
body out, and especially his back, to give
ness. Nine-tenths of these drivers are
padded in this way. and no well-to-do man
would own lean coachman. Lieutenant
Allen, the military attache Of our legation
here, told me yesterday that his coachman
appeared to be of fdime-museum fatness when
he engaged him and that he supposed his
day he met him before he had put in his
pads and he was as thin as q rail and look ed
80 different that it was some time before he
knew him.
Speaking of Russian caps, the officers
whom you see here by the thousand all
wear them, and the most of the soldiers
have caps as a part of their uniform. Every
servant or messenger wears cap, and the
boys from the age of four wear long -visored
caps and little overcoats just like their
fathers. Even the little girls wear caps,
and the favorite head covering of the little
maidens of from two to six or seven years,
whom ] see running about with their nurses
in the parks, is Jockey cap of the bright
est red, blue, yellow or green silk.
The colors of the caps Of the me n are
usually dark, though they are trimmed with
all shsdes of borders and bands, and each
color denotes something. The policemen,
as q rule, have red bands about their caps
Some of the private soldiers wear caps of
white. Others wear caps like Tam O'Shan-
ters, and the cavalry have as many different
kinds of headgear as the infantry.
Some officers have green bands about

harvest will lhaye been gathered. Great want
and much suffering, however, will continue
to exist for the next year or so in many OF
the states, and drought this summer may
precipitate second famine equally as terri
BILE as the present one.
Notwithstanding all that has been pub
lished concerning the famine, we in the
United States have but little idea of its ter
rible extent and of the wonderful manner in
which the Russians have handled it No
country in the world, with perhaps the ex.
ception of the United States, could with
stand such strain as Russia is now under
going, and there is no nation in the world,
except perhaps one, that would rise to the
emergency and do SO much for its people as
Russia is doing.
Russia Has Done Her Duty.
The contributions America has made have
been of great good, and they are most thank
fully and, might almost say, tearfully re-
ceived, but they are only a drop in the
bucket to what Russia herself is doing. Our
and other outside gifts amount, all told, to
perhaps $3.50, 200. The donations of the
Government and the people represent
in the neighborhood of $3.50, ,000. 900
and the Gar himself has given
about S10,0O0.00o out of his pri-
vate fund. The Government loans to
the famine villages amount to
more thar 800, 900, 600 and these loans no
one ever expects that the peasants will
repay. 1t is physical impossibility for
them to do so, and, as one OF the chief offi-
cials of the Government said to me latterly,
the Gar does not expect repayment He
ALWAYS gives present to the people upon
certain occasions, such as the coronation of
a grand duke, and at the next such event
one of his presents will probably be the
forgiving of this debt
This 500. 000, 900 was given almost out
right by the Government, bu: in addi-
tion to it numerous schemes have been
favored and authorized by the Gar to get
money for the sufferers, and the bulk OF the
gifts have come from the people. One of
these schemes was by q lottery under the
Treasury Department, the prizes OF which
were guaranteed by the Imperial Bank and
the profits of which went to the famine.
Russia has no lotteries as the rule, and such
things are ordinarily against the law. This
lottery brought in about $75, ,0oo, 900 and all
classes patroniZed it, many of the wealthy
buying thousands of tickets.
Lost Ten Thousand Dol ,ars in a Lottery.
know one man here who bought $40, 900
worth of tickets, choosing scattering pum-
bers. and he did not get single prize. He
was twitted on his bad luck and replied: 81
don't care, have the satisfaction of know
ing that my 10000 roubles have gone to
help the famine" St. Petersburg is city
of many rich people, and many of the
mobiles here took from 81, 900 to s., 600 worth
of these lottery tickets, but the great ma
jority were sold to people of small means,
snd The buying of them was, go to speak,
the fad.
Consul General Crawford estimates that
the gifts of private citizens in Russia to this
famine have been not less than 350, ,000, 900
roubles or the enormous sum of $175, ,000, 900.
The gifts almost surpass comprehension,

in short there Is every possible
cap combination from the shaggy fur of the
peasant from the wilds of North Russia to
the brimless astrakhan, which, with its red
silk crown, covers the head of the cart
ridge-breasted Caucasian soldierA The
overcoats Of the people from the different
parts of the country are also different, and
the officers wear coats of different colors and
different grades of length, ranging from the
feet to the top of the boots in size. All told,
the dress of the men is the most picturesque
one Of Europe, and the crowds which throng
the streets of st. Petersburg are like those
of no other capital of the world. The men
are naturally large and fine looking. These
long ulsters make them look bigger, and the
general effect produced is that of nation
of gianta
Russian institutions, and the thousands
upon thousands of priests who are supported
by the people are. as class, the finest look

and showing out under the high black caps
which they wear on the streets and over
their long black gowns they look wonder
fully handsome and noble. During their
services in the churches they take off their
caps and their hair flows back from their
high foreheads, making you think of the
patriarchs Of old, and during many of the
services they appesr in gowns Of silver and

and are told, notwithstanding the vast pop
ulation of Russia, they amount, including
those of the Government, to So for each
man, woman and child in the whole Russian
Empire, or to SIS per family. When you
remember that of the twenty odd million
families that make up the Russian people
not many more than /, 600, 600 of them prob
ably has ever had SIS at one time in its
possession you get some idea of the mighty
strain this has been on those who could
give and have given. The nobility have in
all cases led the list, and hundreds of we'll
educated girls and women of the best fam
lilies of this and other Russian cities are
now in the famine districts fighting the
demons of starvation, typhus fever and the
smallpox in behalf of the peasants.
Sacrifices for the Famine Stricken.
A number of these ladies have caught the
diseases of the peasants, and a Russian
Countess who went from st. Petersburg was
among those who took the smallpox. Al.
most all of the great landed proprietors in
the famine districts are doing what they can
to help their people. 1 hear of men who
have been feeding and caring for 5000,
10000 and in some cases even 20, 600 and 25,
600 peasants, and Count Bobrinsky, who is
at the head of the transportation of famine

", supporting nearly 30, 900 people out of

wear coats Of .homespun, with long frocks,
and even such - dress in sheepskins with
the fur turned In, have their coats reaching
to below the knees Here in st. Petersburg
I see few without overcoats, but further
south the peasant mans dress is Of red
calico, shirt and pantaloons, the shirt COM
ing outside the pauts and belted at the
waist, and his feet are covered with sort
of coarsely woven straw shoe and his ankles
are swaddled in raga
The better class of poor people or the
ordinarily well-to-do men here wear long
coats, with top boots, and the national cap
is worn by nearly everyone. This is to q
large extent the costume of the rich, though
the wealthy all over the civilized world
dress much the same rs we do. The differ
ence there is largely in the quality of the
goods worn, and St. Petersburg may De said
to be CITY where the people wear ulsters,
caps and high boots the year round, no mat
ter whether it be as hot as Tophet or as
cold as Alaska. These Russian boots are
worth looking at. They are about the only
cheap thing in Russia, and you can get q
pair made to order for S. The same leather
and the same work in the United States
would cost you s25, and the finish of the
best leather is as fine a. that Of q portfolio
or pocket book.
The Boots Characteristic OF Russia.
These boots reach to the knees, and the
best of them shine like patent leather. The
pantaloons are always tucked inside of them
and there is fancy section about six inches
wide above the ankle Of every boot, in
which the leather lies In wrinkles with the
regularity OF . washboard. 1t takes at least
twice as much leather to make a pair of
Russian boots as it does an American pair,
and the same may be said of the Russian
overcoat. The droschky drivers wear more
cloth than any other cabmen the world over.
1t takes more of good cloth-for the blue
goods they wear seem to be of excellent
material-to make droschky drivers coat
than to make lady's trained ball dress, and
this coat has to be padded and quilted.
