The question as to who is to fur

of the saloons in Uniontown under the
provisions of the prohibition law on
January 1. is yet undetermined. City
Attorney Smith is of the opinion that
District Attorney Harrison Allen
should furnish the opinion and Allen is
Of the opinion that If the city attorney
win attend to his business as faith
fully as he does. there can be no doubt
as to who shall furnish the opinion.
The fact that the saloons are located
over tide water, cuts no figure. They
are within the limits of the city of As
tDria, the common council recognizes
this fact by granting them liquor Ii.
censes, and under the law, the money
paid by them for licenses must be re-
funded by the city. All the tide lands
upon which the saloons are erected are
assessed for municipal taxes, and is
Just as much part of the city as sa-
Boons situated on high land. Such con-

surgeon, who occupied a berth in the
same car with him but little could be
done for the man.

been nothing unusual in the conduct of

WAVE OF PATRIOTISM
Is Reported to Be Sweeping Over
Russia.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 20.-The wave of
patriotism sweeping over the empire
seems to be swamping racial feeling,
even the wild tribes of the Caucasus. the
discontented Firms and sullen Poles for
getting their grievances and coming
forward to volunteer their services to
the common fatherland. An instance of
devotion among the eZar'S Hebrew sub
jects is afforded by the act of As Jewish
doctors in throwing up their practices
to go to the front. Before leaving they
attended a service held in a synagogue
here. Rabbi Drabkin made a fervent
address to a large congregation, which
included Baron Ginzburg and other
Jewish notables. He said:
Our fatherland is passing through a
difficult epoch. The moment has come
when you, my brothers, must show the
whole world that you are not unworthy
sons of your country and that although
standing apart before the altar of re-
ligion you are united with other citizens
before the altar of patriotism and are
ready with all the czar'S faithful hegeS
to sacrifice yourselves for the father
land. Remember that Russia is strong,
not only in arms, but in Gods bless
ings.''
After the service all the congregation
sang the national hymn.
The cZarina, who continues to take
great personal interest in the work of
providing for the sick and wounded of
the war. presided today at a special
meeting of the patriotic society which
was rendered by several grand duch-
esses and others of the highest ladies in
the land and presided at a service held
at the winter palace at which the girls
of the imperial schools acted as Choir
listers.
During a discussion in regard to
utilizing the services unsparingly Offer
ed by the girlhood and womanhood of
Russia for the relief of the wounded, the
czarina proposed temporarily to suspend
the studies in the girls schools in order
that the girls might be able to devote
the school hours to sewing. The sug-
gestion was applauded, but no definite
action was taken. Her majesty, who
is an expert needle woman, has done
much to encourage sewing among Rus
sian society women.
Now that the government has official
ly recognized the public subscription to
provide war vessels to replace those de-
stroyed by the enemy, the newspapers
are discussing the best type of vessel.
opinion veering from submarine boats
to torpedo boat destroyers. A service
organ points out that cruisers would
take too long to build, adds that it pre-
fers powerful torpedo boats and sug-
gests that they be built where the Jap
apense got theirs.
Financial circles approve the action
of the Imperial bank in selling London,
Paris and Berlin bills cheaper than be-
fore the war, believing this measure will
thwart the spectators in those centers
where they are trying to force down
the price of rOuble.
