harmless woman or an innocent
child, he had to pass what was tech
nically called stroy stroyu'' to the
extent f~his misconduct and violation
of military discipline.
tStroy stroyu'' meant two rows of
soldiers facing each other at a GER
tain distance and every one holding a
knout ready to whip the guilty. The
guilty one had then to pass between the
rows and sustain the heaviest lashes of
twenty-five or more knouts from each
side, as the case might demand, for
inhuman behavior in time of war. The
same rule with greater rigor would
then be applied for ''pillaging, looting,
torturing and numbering right and
left" if such crimes were possible in
the old times, and which are now false
ly ascribed to Russian soldiers. But,
since the above educational measure
had been in existence, the Russian his
tory of battles knows not single in
stance of brutality on the part of Rus
sian soldiers against the innocent, and
there has been no need for the former
discipline. Consequently you may be
sure that the Russian soldiers of
whatever rank stand far above the
British soldiers in this respect, and it
is not difficult to prove this differ
ence between them.

The state department, at the in
stance of resident of Massachusetts,.
recently instructed certain consular Of
ficers in Europe to forward informa-
ton regarding the use of typesetting
machines abroad. Among the replies
received are the following:
Consul Roosevelt writes from Brus-
sells in part as follows: Several of
the leading newspapers Of Brussels use
typesetting machines of various makes
and of English. Dutch and German
origin. As far as 1 can learn, NO
American typesetting machine is used
here. 1t is impossible to learn the ex-
act number of machines in use here
or to ascertain the cost of operation
Proprietors, foremen, typesetters and
workmen in general. except union
printers. who are extremely hostile,
have received the machines with ia
vor. The one important obstacle to
the introduction of typesetting ma
chimes into private printing establish
ments is the impossfbility of utilizing
the material on hand, such as movable
type. ETC.
writes: THE field for the use Of
tensive. The French are distinctive
ly reading people, every city of con-
sequence possessing a newspaper of
large circulation, and as the distribu-
ton OF stereotype plates among local
publishers is unknown in France, all
these papers depend upon local labor
for composition
Consul Tourgee of Bordeaux re-
ports that no typesetting machines are
in use in the consular district, and
that their Introduction would be at
tended with great difficulties and
risks.
Consul General Mason OF Berlin
says there are about ITO machines in
use in his consular district. 1.-The ma
chimes have been in general favorably
received by employers and employees

favor, and German manufacturers are
now unable to fully supply the demand
for them. The field for the introduc-
ton of American typesetting machines
in Germany would seem to be favor
able. provided they can be adapted to
German print and furnished as cheaply
as those of home manufacture"
Consul Boyle writes from Liverpool:
Speaking generally, the use OF type
setting machines in this consular dis
trict and England as a whole is not SO
common as in the United States. AS
near as can ascertain there are about
fifty-six typesetting machines in use
in this consular district, all of them
being in Liverpool / am informed by
the firms using typesetting machines
that the machines have been well re-
ceived by the proprietors. as well as
by the foremen, typesetters and work
men generally. Several leading print
ing firms inform me that there Is but
little prospect now for the introduce
ton of additional machines in this
city, as most of the offices likely to re-
quire them have already been sup
piled, and yet several daily newspa-
pers and a number of large printing
concerns do not use typesetting ma
CQ1nGS.
Consul General de Castro writes
from Rome: The printing establish
ment of the Tribuna, the largest news
paper published in Rome, has seven
in use; there is one in use in the
printing office of parliament; one in
use by the Messeaggero, another Rom
an newspaper. and another in the book
printing establishment of Voghera.

or so ago. I am assured that the i'm
preston caused by the machines has
been favorable, but there is great hesi-
tation on the part OF proprietors as to
purchasing. This may be owing to the
| fact that hand labor in Italy is very
| i'll paid, and Is naturally averse to
| the introduction of any labor-saving
machines. This prejudice still exists
| on the part OF tho workmen."

CubQ'S
Helen Gould ~

Cuba has rival to Miss Helen
Gould, known throughout the island
for her deeds OF charity and philan-
thropy. Maria Abrel De Estevez is her
name. and she owns large sugar es-
tates in Santa Clara province and
theater in Santa Clara. She has for
years devoted all the proceeds OF the
theater to the support OF schools for
women and children. When the war
broke out her sympathy with the in
surgents made her practically an exile
in Paris, but she wept in touch with
events at home, and whenever disaster
befell the Cuban cause she cabled large
sums of money to the revolutionists,
always timing her gifts when the out
look as darkest
When Maceo fell she proposed to
other rich Cubans to raise $780, 900 to

There has Of late been a great deal
written and said about the parentage
of the young men who have recently
been and are being trained as SOL
diers of the nation at West Point,
says the New York Herald. The state
ment has been made that favoritism
has controlled the nominations, and
that there have been frequent discrim-
nations in favor of certain callings.
To ascertain the exact truth a recent
examination of the records of about
500 candidates for the last 10 years has
been made, and it shows that almost
every calling is quite well represented.
There were 149 sons of farmers, lis
sons of merchants. 100 SONS of lawyers,
65 sons of army officers, 81 sons Of
manufacturers, 80 sons of mechanics,
20 sons of insurance agents, 10 sons
of real estate agents, IA sons of clergy
men. Is sons of editors, bankers and
bookkeepers, 10 sons OF druggists,19

carry on the struggle. She herself gave
100000, her sister in New York added
500 900, and other friends made the
sum up to 100000. While giving thus
freely in one year alone she lost be-
tween 100000 and 100000 because
she sent word to her overseers to obey
the edict of the provisional Cuban gov
eminent, forbidding the grinding on
the sugar estates. In gratitude for her
patriotic assistance the revolutionary
government offered to make an
exception to the rule in her case, but
she refused to set an example which
might cause discomfort among others.
Her gifts throughout the war amount
ed to $121 900 for Cuba alone, and with
what she gave to Porto Rico and local
charities in Paris made fully $3.50, 600.
She has now returned to Cuba and is
actively engaged in relief work.
