Three Million Subjects of the Gar of
Russia Forbidden to
Carry Arms.

The governor of the great Russian dis
trict of Kharkoff, which lies between the
Don and the Dnieper, and has popu-
lation of nearly 100000, has issued a
remarkable proclamation of which some
hint has already been given in the cable
dispatches, says London report. After
forbidding the inhabitants to carry
arms or weapons of any description
"daggers, brass-knuckles, sword-canes,
knives, etc."-without special permits
sion from the police, the proclamation
continues:
Dealers in firearms, ammunition and
explosives are required to have a de-
tailed list of such on their books. They
may deliver such only to persons au-
thorized by the police to buy them, and
must keep a record of the names and
addresses of such persons, exactly speci-
flying each sale.
"The proprietors Of workshops, fac
tories and other industrial establish
ments as also persons holding such
establishments on lease or as managers,
and their foremen, are required scrupu-
lousy to watch that their men are
not made the object Of Indictment to
revolt on the part of revolutionary
agents, and they are to report such rev.
dictionary agents to the police and aid
in their arrest and in the seizure of
anything, such as prohibited pamphlets
or books, seditious proclamations, or
secret manuscripts, that may secure
their conviction. All persons are pro-
hibited from circulating reports of an
ticipated public disturbances either oral
ly or in writing, and from organizing
without permission of the authorities any
kind of collection or lottery. H
"Porters and night watchmen of
houses are required always to lend ac-
tive assistance to the police immediate
ly they are called upon to do so. House
owners are allowed to engage for these
duties only persons whose selection is
approved by the police, and they may
not dismiss them without informing the
latter"
The governors notification also pro-
vides for the Strengthening and the rig
orous regulation of the service of night
watchmen He concludes with the
warming that anyone breaking these
orders will render himself liable to a
fine not exceeding 500 rubles ($270), or

Flat Feet.

DR. Michael Hoke, in the Atlanta
Journal-Record of Medicine, says that
one reason why women are inclined to
be fiat-footed is because, as a rule, most
women are naturally knock-kneed and
walk with the feet markedly turned out
Combining this factor with false pride
about shoes. it is apparent why so many
of them walk with their feet turned out,
with the consequent pain and physical
disability.

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. ga
pitched battle in which hundreds OF
men took part yesterday morning at
Stamford City, w. Va, resulted in
the death of three miners, while
scores both of miners and deputy
marshals were wounded. Seventy.
three of the rioters were arrested.
The bloody battle grew out of an
attempt to arrest "a miners for vio-
lating blanket injunction issued by
Judge B. F. Keller last; August. 1t
is feared that trouble is only begin
ming, as the rioters defy the law and
are well armed and well organized.
The miners were routed after a
furious struggle, which at times was
carried on at close quarters. The
little town was thrown into tur-
moil of excitement and the inhabi-
tants fed in terror to the open coun-
try. The miners fought desperately
for a time, but when they realized
that the battle was lost they threw
down their arms and attempted to
escape.
Both the miners and the federal
authorities as represented in the
United States marshals and their
assistants have known for several
days that an armed conflict was all
but inevitable.
