RUSSIAN STUDENTS ATTEMPT To
HOLD GRIEVANCE
MEETING
TROOPS TRY TO CLEAR STREETS
Running Fight Engaged In which
Lasts All the Afternoon-Au-

BIOOdshed.

ST. PETERSBURG, March ia stu
dents riot here today, in which over
10000 people participated, kept a small
army of police and cavalry busy through
out the day. Probably 100 arrests were
made, but oppressive measures were not
go strict as on the corresponding Sunday
OF 1yl. While many persons were in
jured, no fatalities were reported
The students placarded the city last
| night, announcing that they intended to
hold a grievance meeting, and the au-
thoritieS, taking the hint, made extern
sIve preparations. The whole police re-
serve was called out, and the entire mill
itaIy force was held ready for mobiliza-
ton, cavalry patrols experimenting the
mounted police. Additional squadrons
of cavalry, light batteries of artillery
and attachments of infantry were pack
ed in the side streets. The crowds in
creased in the main thoroughfares until
noon, when the cavalry officer in com
mand of g squad in front of the Hotel
d Europe begged the crowd to dispense
and go home. The demonstrators re-
| fused, and the mounted troops began
slowly clearing the streets.
AT 1920 p. M. the students attempted to
organize q procession in front of the Ho-
| tel Mendoned, singing revolutional songs
and shouting Free Russia Down
with the autCcracy. The police and
cavalry then charged, but used only their
| Cossack whips and the fit of their sa-
| bers. Many persons were hurt but only
few were seriously injured. The fight
| ing continued during the remainder of
| the afternoon, breaking out in fresh
places continually. One of the most Sc
| we're fights cf the day was concluded only
a few minutes before the czarina. in an
open sleigh, passed the spot where it oc-
CURED. Carriages Of the nobility and
members of the imperial household were
several times mixed up in the meIees.
The authorities made evident efforts to
prevent bloodshed, and in this they were
| remarkably successful, considering the
magnitude Of the demonstration
The students of St. Petersburg, on sun
day, March II, 1901, organized what was
intended to be an imposing demonstra-
ton in front of the Cathedral of Our
Lady of KaZan. the occasion being the
anniversary of the death of Vetrora a
girl who committed suicide some wears
ago in dungeon of the political prison
in the fortress of st. Peter and st. Paul
IN order to escape Infamous persecution
Serious rioting ensued, and the students
were attacked by Cossacks and police
and about 500 arrests were made.

ITS WELCOME WORN oUr.

Some one had said that there are three
Kinds OF decorations for rooms useful
peauutIl and presents. This was follow
ed py someone else wishing that people
wouldn't mark the things they gave. SO
mat they might be passed on Then the
tailor made woman IN gray spoke:
You all know Mrs Firstly, the REV.
Dr. Firstly Wife? She's a perfect dean
and as straightforward as a steel rail.
She hates deceit and undermined bust
ness, but not long ago I caught her in a
little piece of double dealing that sent
her stock up ten points in my estimation.
You know she has the best taste in every
thing, and an embroidered piano cover
gives her a headache, she SAYS I went
with her to the Simpkinses once-you
are all familiar with their peculiar idra0
on decoratiOn-and she never spoke an
Intelligent word while we were there
Once outside, she clutched my arm Did
you see that bunch Of imitation yellow
paper roses in the imitation cut glass
bowl? she gasped. Well, about two weeks
after Christmas l dropped in on her one
afternoon. She was receiving 4 call from
Mrs. Dolla1by and her eldest daughter
Mary. They belong to Dr. Firstlv's
church. Dollarby owns a boot and shoe
factory of his own now, and is inauef-
tal.' AS ! sat waiting and gazing around
my eyes were struck dim to see nang-
ing over one corner Of that beautiful
marine in the library a pink canvas bag
embroidered with brown silk daisies ana
filled with milkweed pods. Mrs Firstly
caught my look and bit her lip. The
Dollarbys rose to 20 and she acc mn
panied them to the front door ! heard
1t close with a bang. and almost stimuli
taneousfy Mrs. Firstly rushed madly into
the library, snatched the canvas thing
off the picture and hurled it forcibly UNI
der the divan.
There she said, thank heaven It's
over! They gave il to me for Christ
mas present, and I've been waiting for
them to call for two weeks. New York

GENIUS NOT MODEST.

A writer in the London Standard de-
clares the idea that genius is usually
modest TO be a popular deIusion. On the
contrary, he alleges egotism to be the
very essence of true genius and quotes
many amusing examples.
When Wordlsworth, southey and Coler-
idge were walking together and Coleridge
remarked that the day was ST. line 1T
might have been orderet for three po-

exclaimed: Three poets! Who are the
other two?"
Disraeli, then a mere youth wrote to
his sister that he had heard Macaulay
Shiel and Grant speak but between
ourselves I could floor them ALL" And
again he said. When ] want to read a
good book, I write one"
Our own Joaquin Miller wrote to Walt
Whitman: You and 1 are over the head
of the rabble. We know we are great
and if other people don't know it, it Is
their own fault"
1t was President Grant who, being told
that certain senator, an admitted ge-
MUS who was very hostile to him, did
not believe the Bible. expressed his esti-
mate of the senator's egotism by rejoin-
ing: why should he? He didn't write
it, you know"
