Russaa,s woraen Criminals.

The Senaaine Msdieale publishes inter-
esting statistics about the eriminaIity of
women IN Russia, showing tina in the
large industrial centres Of Russia there
are twice as many women criminals as
men. This Is practically the case IN the
districts of ST. Petersburg. Cnerson Gn-
Guiding odessal and Kew; in Moscow
crime is divided about equally between
the sexes. The principal crimes committed
by females are:-fnfanticide, poisoning, in
citing to murder, adultery, bigamy and
(only q small -pereentagel robbery and
theft. Most of the women criminals are
unmarried. The fswess crimes were COM
nitted by the country population. most of
them by the labaring classes il. the cities.
OF one hundred working people Of both
in the Russia Industrial districts,
there are 25 male and 1915 female GRIM
mails, that is, in the total. every fourth
person. The critical age for theft in man
is stated to be between the sixteenth and
seventeenth years. while female thieves
begin principally between fourteen and fif-
teen. The fewer crimes are committed
by women Of the age from eighteen TO
twenty. This is probably the only case
where woman EMPHASIZES man in crime,
since everywhere else, as much as known
the man. in consequence of his closer con-
tact with life and the struggles for life,
furnishes the largest contingent of the
number of criminals.

champagne from China.

According to the Paris Evenement, a
powerful competitor has arisen TO the
European monopoly OF the production Of
high wines: Some time ago the grape
part Of hin with the primary object Of
obtaining grapes for the Eastern Asia1ic
market. a few years since experiments
We're made to produce from the Manch-
rurian grades ordinary and high wines.
These experiments were owned with
such unexpected success that a verv large
Chinese concern decided to request the
Chinese Government for a monopoly for
the ~prodnetien of wines resembling in
quality the most famous brands Of the
champagne. A concession has just been
granted that firm by the Chinese Govern
ment and the production Of wines VIII
new be taken in and by competent
viticuBturists. 1t Is expected that this
firm alone will be able to produce sufi-
Gent win to supply the greater part of
the Eastern Asiatic market.

in North Hudson.

Last evening bowling was really m
augurated as the first competition of the
season was rolled on the local alleys. a
match was decided between the Clinton
Bowling Gu II the ten men team of
the Doolittle Club, which is the pride 81
the down town rooters. The game was
bowled on Smlth's jackson avenue alleys,
and drew a large crowd. Both teams
were composed of their best rollers, and
every one expected some high records,
but were disappointed. 1t was too early
in the season, and the boys seemed IN
need of practice. At the start the Chm
tons rolled with a dash that made 1T ap-
pear as though they would reach a re-
markedly high average, as the arst frame
showed only two brakes The second
was not so well filed in, and thereafter
the team rolled ordinarily, and were not
as successful as they anticipated. They
were not forced to exert their greatest
efforts, as they gained a lead easily and
held 1t on every frame. The Chntons
closed the first frame with an average of
a 1900 game, and We're 50 pins ahead. It
was even work in the second, and the
Clintons gained only one. They pulled
away on the third. and were 81 pins In the
van. This was stretched to Is on the
fourth, and III on the fifth. From that
time forth it was easily sailing, and the
close of the last frame gave the Clintons
a victory by 1874 pins. Kimball, a new
find for the clintons, put up the highest
score. Duis, Buchtenkirk and Ruddick
were in the 16o block. For Doolittie, Phil
Herman, was the leader. with Captain
Sam Ceffman and Martens close up.
Previous to the game both teams were
photographed, and the sport began early,
continued until midnight. 1t was a
lively night for both teams, ami they
had lots to amuse them. Score
