an immense thrown was attracted to
the broad thoroughfare, and long be-
fore the hour fixed, despite the plead
ings of the police, who literally lined
the sidewalks, the throngs on the
pavements were so dense that move
ment was almost impossible, while
the snow-covered boulevard was black
with a tangled mass Of sleighs filled
mostly with the curious. In throngs
on the sidewalk were practically the
whole student body of the capital, in
Guiding many young women, who have
always been prominent in Russia in
liberal revolutionary movements, and
also thousands of workmen belonging
to the Social Labor party.
Toward ] o'clock the workmen and
students seemed to swarm toward the
corner Of the Hotel Europe, opposite
the Kazan Cathedral. Then, when there
was not single mounted policeman
in sight, on the stroke of 1, from the
heart of the thickly wedged crowd a
blood-red flag, like a sheet of fame,
suddenly shot up. II was the signal.
Other flags appeared in the crowd,
waving frantically overhead; and they
were greeted with a hoarse roar Down
with autocracy." The students surged
into the street. singing the "Marsel-
laise," while innocent spectators,
seeking to extricate themselves,
crowded into doorways and hugged the
walls. Dismounted police made a sim
Gle attempt to force their way into the
crowd to wrest the flags from the
demonstrators, but the students and
workmen, armed with sticks, stood
close and beat back the assailants.
Then, like a flash, from behind the
Kazan Cathedral. came a squadron of
gendarmerie The doors of adjoining
courtyards were thrown back, and bat
talions of police came out. A double
squadron charged the flank Of the
demonstrators with drawn sabres. Five
other squadrons circled the mob, cut
ting through the fringe of spectators,
] who gladly scurried to cover. The main
wedge of the demonstrators stood fast
only a moment or two. There was
sharp rattle of cudgels and sabres,
though the wounds showed that the
police struck principally with the fiat
Of their sabres. The women were espe-
cially fierce in their resistance. Many
were struck and trampled, and blood
streamed down their faces.
While the mob stood, those within
managed to throw hundreds of revolu-
tionary proclamations over the heads
of their fellows. The police urged their
horses fiercely into the crowd, driving
those who resisted into the court
yards, the Hotel Europe and the Cath
olic church. The intense excitement
lasted about 10 minutes, after which
mounted squads of the gendarmerie
patrolled the streets and the policemen
devoted themselves to keeping the
crowd moving.

The FIRST PIE PLATES.
They Were Made by the German
POtters of Philadelphia.

They Were Made by the German
POtters of Philadelphia.
The first pie plates were made early
in the eighteenth century by the Ger
man potters who settled in Philadel
phla.
After the clay was prepared 1t was
cut into small pieces by means Of a
brass wire and taken to the work
bench to be made into plates.
The clay was roughly beaten into a
fiattened form looking like a colossal
bu9Iwheat cake. This was rolled out
into a thin sheet with a roller much
like a rolling pin, and then n disk
cutter was used 20 cut II into circu-
lar pieces OF the required diameter.
This bat. as It was called. was then
laid on a board until partly dry and
was then decorated-f
The slip decoration was applied by
means Of a slip cup, an earthen vessel
with goose quilts inserted into the
openings. through which the liquid
slip was made TO trickle over the ware
in a variety OF patterns. just as icing
is applied TO cake at the present time.
The slip mixture was Of a creamy col
or made Of white clay and water.
Favorlte motives for decorations

A Lutheran minister asked his potter
to dine with him TO discuss designs for
set OF plates he wished TO order
AS the potter was accustomed to dine
at IL, he was almost famished when
the clergyman's , o'clock dinner was
served. When the set OF plates came
home. each with a pious sentiment in
terwoven among the marginal decora-
tions. the minister laughed to find an
extra plate. bearing this inscription: II

HAMMERING THE FLEET
Japs Still Firing Shells Into Rus
sian Hulks at Port Arthur.
PLOTTING IN ST. PETERSBURG

Police Disperse Demonstration to De.
mand End of War and conVoeation
Of National Assembly-1oo Injured
and Many Arrested.
Toxic, Dec. 12.-The Japanese con-
tinue to batter the Port Arthur feet,
and there is little ground for expecting
that it will ever again engage the
japanese. The battleship Sevastopol
continues at anchor outside, but pos
sibly returns to the harbor at nights
and anchors inside the outer boom,
which protects her from torpedo boats.
The recent heavy weather has given
added protection to the vessel.
Naval experts are discarding the
theory that the Russians themselves
sank any of the ships. The fact that
the vessels first showed lists while in
exposed positions, and the efforts
made to save the Sevastopol are re-
garded as conclusive evidence against
the theory of their being sunk by the
Russians. A majority of the sunken
warships lie headed northward. They
received the bulk of the fire across
their port sides, and the fact that at
least two of them showed lists to star
board gives rise to the theory that
Japanese shells exploded inside the
ships and against the starboard armor,
driving the armor outward and caus-
ing leaks. To make sure of the de-
struction of the Russian warships the
Japanese continue to drop shells into
the sunken hulks. The whereabouts
of the torpedo boat destroyers contin-
ues doubtful, but it is thought they are
sheltering outside the harbOr. The OBJ
servers report a number of tugs,
launches, dredges and small craft an
chored near the hospital ships in the
west harbor, where they evidently
have gone for the purpose of obtain
ing protection. 1t is suggested that the
besiegers notify Lieutenant General
Stoessel to separate these vessels from
the hospital ships or take the conse-
quences. The japanese are exercising
care to avoid hitting the hospital
ships, which frequently are in the di-
rect line OF fire.

ciaI machinery of the United States.
There is not the remotest possibility
of its displacement or impairment.
When, however, those in control of
holding companies attempt to use them
for the purpose of organizing and car
rying on combinations of railroads or
industrials which can be proved to
be in restraint of trade they do it at
their own risk and become subject to
discipline. Their houses may be pulled
down over their heads.
There are many combinations which
are in reality holding companies, but
which do not carry that name. They
have become holding companies in the
incidental growth of business. The
Pennsylvania and New York Central
Railroad systems partake of many of
the features Of holding companies, and
it is by no means certain that they
are entirely free from the errors fallen
into by J. ]. Hill and his associates in
the Northwest. The Pennsylvania has
a controlling voice in the Baltimore
and Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio, Nor
folk and Western, Reading and other
parallel roads, while the New York
Central, with it's Western connection,

competing line between Chicago and

The player who drops 1t is "out."
A favorite sport is sliding down the
steep banks of frozen snow which form
under the cliffs that line the shores
Of the Polar sea. The children use
neither toboggans, sleds, nor even
boards. They kneel, lean back and
grasp their ankles, and thus go shoot
ing downward on their knees.
They are fond Of dancing, too, and
with a drum made of an old tin can
discarded by some whaler they inn
proVise dances for themselves and
songs as accompaniment. One favorite
song and dance is given as a sort OF
representation OF the aurora borealis,
or northern lights, and when the dis
play is particularly attractive the
children's sport is often prolonged for
hours.
They have toys OF various kinds
some OF them ingenlously mechanical
OF home manufacture, which serve their
purpose as well as those OF the more
pretentious kind known 10 the children
OF civilized lands. The Eskimo bad
