Warnings Not Needed.

Inc newspaper warnings, however,
by giving notice to those not appraised
of the prospect of a demonstration, de-
feated the very object for which they
were designed, attracting, seemingly,
the whole population of this vast city
to the broad thoroughfare: and long
before the hour fixed, despite the
%pleadings 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.
Towards one o'clock the workmen
and students seemed to swarm to-
ward the corner of Hotel Europe, OPP
posite the Kazan- cathedral. The po-
lice, recognizing that the critical mo-
ment was approaching, tried in vain to
keep back the human tide. Then,
policeman in sight, on the stroke of
one, from the heart of the thickly-
wedged crowd a blood-red flag, like a
jet Of fame. suddenly shot up. 1t was
the signal. Other flags appeared in
the crowd, waving frantically over
head; and they were greeted with a
hoarse roar, Down with a~utocracy."
The students surged into the street,
singing the "Marsellaise," while in
nocent spectators, seeking to extricate
themselves, crowded into doorways
and Rugged walls.
Beat Back Police.
DismOunted police made a single at
tempt 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
court yards were thrown back, and
batallions of police came out. A dou-
BILE squadron charged the flank of
demonstrators with drawn sabres.
Five other squadrons circled the mob,
cutting, through the fringe of specta-
tors, who gladly scurried to cover. The
main wedge of the demonstrators stood
fast only a moment Or two. There
was a sharp rattle Of cudgels and sa-
bres, though the wounds showed the
police struck principally with the fiat
Of their sabres. The women we're
especially fierce in their resistance.
Many were struck and trampled, and
blood streamed down their faces.
In the meantime, those confined in
the court yards, who were recognized
Gs agitators, were arrested, but others
were allowed to go quietly home, the
wounded first having their injuries
dressed. There were probably a hun
dred broken heads, and several were
severely wounded, though none fatal
ly, so far as a~scertainable. So far there
have been over 100 arrests,

THE WONDERS OF RADIUM.
Schenck's Sex Problem May Be Solved
-Hydrophobia Remedy.

A dispatch to the New York Tribune from
ST. Petersburg yesterday says: Prince Tark-
hanov, the well-known scientist lecturing
recently before the Military Association,
made some interesting statements in regard
to the possibilities of radum. He presented
to his audience two cancer patients who had
been cured of malignant growths on the
face by the use of radium, and expressed
the opinion that the problem of determining
the sex of unborn children. which Prof.
Schenck had failed to solve. will shortly be
solved by the aid of radium. The prince
added that he had prevented the develop
ment of hydrophobia in dogs inoculated
with rabies virus by means of radium.
When large quantities of radium were
availab BILE, the prince contended the whole
system of modern warefare would be revo-
lutioniZed, as powder magazines, whether
in forts or in the holds of vessels. would be
at the mercy of radium rays. which could
explode them at long distances.

COLOR OF NEGRO BABIES.
Indiana Physician to Try to Prevent
Their Turning Black.

A special to the New York Sun from
South Bend, Ind. yesterday says: Because
of an experiment of DR.. j. w. Hill, one OF
the well-known physicians and surgeons of
Indiana, In trying to prevent infants born
of negro parents from turning dark in
color soon after birth, the attention of the
scientific world it is expected, will be fixed
on South Bend during the next few months
All arrangements have been completed for
DR.. Hills experiment the color scheme
of the human race.
An expectant mother has consented to
act as the patient and will enter the hos
pital as soon as the rooms are finished in
the manner necessary for the scientific
event. According to Dr. HILL the negro's
skin is more positive than that of any other
human being, and for that reas son more pig
ment is thrown out to protect him under
the climatic conditions in which his fore
fathers We're born, the intense heat of the
tropics making this necessary.
By preventing augmentation DR. Hill be-
lieves the child of negro parents which is
generally born white, turning dark under
the suns rays, will become even whittier
than that of the Caucasian race. He Is
following the idea of Feson. the Norwegian,
who found, by putting a chameleon under
violent light rays, that the pigment or
throwing off of color is not of such marked
extent as under the ordinary white rays.
For this reason red light will be employed

The Regulation Ticket.
The tickets given Doyle were the same as
those given all applicants. Each ticket
bears the name of the man and three dates,
opposite which are printed the letters S, l.

ing" and breakfast" respectively. On
each card there are nine of these letters.
and when man has performed task,
the amount of labor required to cover the
cost of providing him with two meals and
bed, three letters are punched. One
ticket is returned to him and one retained
by the foreman as record of the transac-
ton. If the man loses his ticket the fore
man produces the one he has. and so knows
just how the account stands. This makes
1t impossible for any one to play any tricks
on the institution. When the guest de-
parts the ticket that was retained by the
foreman is filed at the Office and from
these tickets the weekly, monthly and
quarterly reports TO the board of charity
are made up.
In the Wood Yard.
Doyle did as he had been directed, and
the first thing that attracted his attention
upon opening the door was a force of fiji
teen or twenty men at work in wood

house. Some were saving wood others
splitting it, while the foreman was assign
ing tasks to several newcomers. Jack
waited until these men had gone to work,
and then he presented his tickets. The fore
man glanced at them, and, leading the way
to the further end of the shed, he pointed
out a saw and horse" and pile of four
foot wood.
There are just sixteen sticks of that
wood" said the foreman. You are to cut

If the citizens of Washington would

that they would be as profoundly impressed
with the place as are the hundreds of
homeless destitute men who seek and find
food and shelter under it's roof every
month. Probably no institution of this
kind in the United States has justified its
existence and demonstrated the wisdom and
foresig ht of its founders to as great an ex-
tent as has the Municipal Lodging House

Among the thousands of people who ar
rived in Washington this week was a Penn
sy1vanian named Doyle-Jack Doyle. He
did not come in on the limited express
Shanks horses brought him, and when he
struck the town he did not have one cent in
his pocket. He had come expecting to Sc
cure a job in one of the government Offices
but found upon his arrival that it had been
given to another. The day was cold and
the traveller was considerably worried be-
cause he had no idea where he could hang
his hat when night came. And then, too
he was faint from hunger. He had had
nothing to eat since morning, and then only
a sandwich. He was beginning to feel that
he would be compelled to commit some
crime in order to get the police to take him
to a station house. But he had never sought
shelter and food in such a way, and he
shrank from doing so now.
Policeman's Kindness.
AS lie stood on the street, shiverng in his
rags and meditating to just what he had
best do, kind-hearted policeman came
along, and the fOrlorn appearance of the
man attracted his attention. He began
questioning him. and when he had discov-
cred the predicament he was in reached his
hand into inside coat pocket and pro-
duced a little book from which he tore a
ticket. This he filed out and signed and
then handed it to the destitute man at his
side. who read:
