The effort on the part of the Russian
Government to lessen the evils Of intem-
perance among the working classes by
furnishing a substitute for the dram shop
will be watched by temperance workers
on this side of the water with considera-
BILE interest, for Russia. owing to the ig-
norant condition of her lower classes and
their reputation as heavy drinkers, would
seem to be an ideal place to try the eff
cacy of such methods of reform. This
substitute for the dram shop has, in st.
Petersburg, taken the form of Il large
building. or buildings. which include
among other halls a theatre capable of
seating $500 persons. The intention Is
that dramas of historic character, con
certs and similar entertainments of an
educational nature will be presented
There will also be entertainments de
signed especially for children. That these
advantages may be within reach of those
for whom they are intended the admis-
sion charge is but about cents for
civilian and 2l3 cents for soldier. In
addition to the theatre are restaurants
where meals are served at correspond
lngly low prices. The opening perform
1rce is reported to have been a success.
The han was crowded with workingmen.
Hho followed the play with great interest
and deIaht.

Stories Concerning the Death of the
 Late Michael McNally.

{, Detective Cahey and Officer Hickey were over in Brooklyn yesterday after noon running down q rumor regarding the death of the late Michael McNally A few women met Iii Weddings meat market during the forenoon and got talking about the sad affair. and dur ing the conversation one of them said that a young man whom she knew saw McNally kicked into insensibility and then carried along the lots and placed on the ties under the covered bridge The story reached the police station and it was decided to find out if there was any truth in it. but it turned out to be nothing more than idle gossip So far the manner in which the man met his death is q mystery and prob ably will remain so for all time. Rail- road men and others who know any thing about the case refuse to believe that he was killed on the track and the suspicion points so strongly to- wards foul play, many are curious to 1 know why the coroner has not come here and shown a disposition to throw some light on the matter.
