JUDGE GAsKILL's utterances on the H.
cense question have been given wide cir
culation and the comment on them is very
favorable. He expressed himself quite
freely on the question of transferring and
continuing licenses. The point he made
was that merely because hotel or saloon
is licensed is not sufficient ground for
granting renewal of the privilege or for
the transfer of it to another man. If a
place has reached the stage where it is not
profitable to its owner the Judge says he
does not see any reason why the license
should be transferred to some other fellow
W no will merely hang on by the eyelids.
Better close the place entirely, he thinks,
especially where there is no dearth of
hotels and saloons to accommodate the
public. Where hotel cannot live upon
the trade that naturally comes to it, but
must have shooting matches, hog killings
and other things to draw custom, the
Judge thinks it has outlived its usefulness.
That shakeups on the license subject are
not far distant appears to be the present
outlook.

Spider-Web Factory.

Ten years ago a French missionary
started the systematic rearing of two
kinds OF spiders for their web, and
spider web factory is now in sue
cessful operation at Chalais-Meudon,
near Paris, where ropes are made. of
spider web intended for balloons for
the French military aeronautic section.
The spiders are arranged in groups of
IL above a reel, upon which the
threads are wound. 1t is by no means
easy work for the spiders, for they are
not released until they have furnished
from 80 to Al yards of thread each.
The web is washed and thus freed OF
the outer reddish and sticky cover
Eight of the washed threads are then
taken together, and of this rather
strong yarn cords are woven which are
stronger and much lighter than cords
of silk of the same thickness.

their normal impulses cankered by the
invidius teachings of nihilism. The
death of Sergius and the revelations
which have followed that tragedy give
evidence of this. The grand dukes
slayer was known both to the murdered
man and to his widow, the Grand
Duchess Elizabeth. He belonged to
their stratum of society. He had no
personal grievance. He expressed great
regret to the grand duchess when she
visited him in his cell after the assas
sination, that he had caused her so
great a grief. He fell back before her
reproaches upon an impassiOned ex-
PLANTATION of the doctrines of the ter
rorists, as if there were to be found
in them some adequate excuse for his
crime. If the grand duchess found in
these teachings no consolation she at
any rate elected the information that
many revolutionists are members of
the Russian nobility. Russian aris-
tocracy, he told her, is honeycombed
with revolutionary adherents. At least
one was a palace official in the cars
own household.
Such, it subsequently appeared, was
the undercurrent of revenge in the
hearts of Russians on the afternoon of
February II, when a sledge in which
two men were seated shot out ahead
of the grand dukes carriage as it was
passing through Senate square, Mos
COW, on the way from the palace to the
Kremlin. The sledge then slowed up,
allowing the carriage to pass, while
one of the men, dressed as workman,
peered earnestly into the dukes car
riage, into eyes that he knew. He was
a prince and in his hand was a bomb
What occurred is best described by an
eyewitness:

introduction that Charles Dickens pro-
ceeded to reveal, in the ''Tale of Two
Cities" the vital details of the awful
drama of the French revolution, pic
turing that character whom none can
put out of memory who has once read
the story-Madame Defarge, the female
creature who sat knitting, always and
persistently knitting, knitting into a
fiendish record, descriptions of those
selected to die on the guillotine when
once the wheel of fortune should bring
the revolutionists in power
There is knitting of this kind in Rus
STA to-day. Nor is it the coarse and
bungling work of the peasantry. If
Count Tolstoi has not been knitting,
certainly his finger of warning has
pointed in many directions. Ominous
records have been woven in the most
unsupported quarters. Because the con-
demned are not marched in physical
line to the guillotine, shall it be said
their fate is the less methodically
planned. There are those who are
content to protest, and Tolstoi is one
of these. But also there are those who
count, and those who kill. The reign
of terror is not less at hand because
the Russian bomb displaces the French
guillotine. The insecurity is not less
general than in those tranquil days
which ushered in the French revolution.

Incidentally the police were able to
clear up the mystery of the unknown
man who was suddenly blown to pieces
on the morning of March IL by the &C

room in the Hotel Bristol in st. Peters

by the dead terrorist was issued in

it was discovered that he was a Pole,
and spoke scarcely dozen words of

are not the less deadly. The bomb
that killed Grand Duke Sergius was
thrown by an Obolenski-a name
which denotes one of the most distin-
guished families of the Russian aris-
tocracy. This fact is no longer a secret
the sort which the Russian police
like to embalm within their own in
scrutable comprehension. From every
indication there is more nihilism in
vited officially to the palace of the car
than you would meet with in visit
to the Russian underworld. 1t may be
depended upon that there are many
persons of title who know more of the
real spirit of the Russian terrorists
than they would care to discuss in a
tete-a-tete in the cars reception
rooms.

ed with the plotters who caused the
death of the Grand Duke Sergius.
From day to day since the raid on
the revolutionary headquarters the po-
lice have made arrests as rapidly as
the reports of the secret service agents
warranted, until it is known that some
800 prisoners have been taken. Every
possible secrecy has been maintained
and not one word of official infOrma-
ton has escaped from the authorities.
1t is, however, known that many of the
prisoners are members of the Russian
nobility, and the positive documentary
evidence against several of them is be-
yond question. In the case of Prince
Obolenski, the assassin of Grand Duke
ment and the pressure to know the
fullest details, the police have stead
lastly pretended that they have been
unable to identify their prisoner and
that his name and history are un-i
known This, policy lis pursued out of
consideration for the other members
of the distinguished Obolenski family,
and also to conceal the truth of the
widespread cancerous growth of revo-
lutiOnary recruits in official and aristo-
cratic circles.
The terror of the car as a result of
the disclosures as to the spread of nihi-
lism among the upper classes could
hardly be more clearly shown than in
his punishment of the official in his
own household whom Prince Obolenski
indicated as being implicated in ter
rorist plots. After the arrest of this
man the car personally examined the
evidence against him and ordered him

PRESENT DAY MANAGERS"

Only as far back as twenty-five or

aeer of an enterprise was himself bet
ter informed, of wider experience annd
Possessed higher mechanical skill than
any of his workmen. He knew little
or nothing of shop organization, but
be and his men worked together with
most intimate and cordial relations.
He called his men by their first names

The manager Of the present day,
however, owing to the changed condi-
tions of the times, himself seldom pos
sesses any mechanical ability; and
vet, owing to the traditions surround
ing his title, he feels that he must
rose if he knew every detail OF the
business On the larger enterprises
of the day, where many hundred men
are employed, even the superintend-
ent is selected, not because he is an
expert mechanic, but on account of
his knowledge of shop organization
and management; and sometimes his
foremen fall into the same category.
The shop organization is framed on
the military plan, with the employe
in the ranks as the only expert in ex-
ecution of the work actually in hand.
In military organization there is no
touch between the commander-in-chief
and his men. The men are not allow
ed to think, but are expected merely
to carry out what he has planned.
In the change from the old to the
present system of management the
close touch between manager and op-
erative has been lost, and with it.
much of the spontaneous helpfulness
which accompanied the older methods.
