Car Crashes Into Sleds.
The children were coming from the
Most Holy Trinity school. Driver
Palmer good-naturedly permitted them
to attach their sleds to his big horse
sleigh and then drove down Sixth
street at a good pace. At the corner
of Abbott street, on which the Baker
street cars run, building extends out
to the sidewalk, shutting off the view
from Sixth street until vehicles are
close to the car track. Driver Palmer
failed to see or hear the oncoming
car and drove directly in front of it.
His bob-sleigh was wrecked and the
little folks stringing behind by their
sled ropes were thrown in every di-
rection, several Of them under the car.

HAPPENINGS OF
A WEEK IN BRIEF
SUMMARY OF MOST INTEREST
ING EVENTS OF PAST
SEVEN DAYS.
WHAT CONGRESS is DOING
Progress of the Russo-Japanese War
in the Far East-News from All
Parts of the Union and the Latest
Foreign Intelligence.
THE RUSSIAN REVOLT.

Renewed disorders occurred at Lod2
where a conflict between troops and
strikers resulted in the killing of six
persons and the wounding Of IS.
The official list Of persons killed dur
ing the disturbances at Warsaw con-
tains over 800 names, in addition to
many unidentified bodies lying at the
receiving vault in the cemetery.
Violence in Warsaw has subsidized and
in other centers the industrial disorder
is decreased, but serious disturbances
are reported in Cracow.
The car received a delegation OF
workingmen and promised to ameliorate
the condition of the laboring classes i
the strikers would return to work.
The report OF the car granting con-
stitution is denied. He has, however,
approved a scheme to give the senate
more power, to curb the power of minis
tiers and to provide lower courts.
Grand Duke Vladimir, in an interview
in ST. Petersburg, admitted that Russia
is facing grave crisis, but declared that
the nation will emerge triumphant. He
insists that reforms will be granted and
the people given an opportunity to ad-
dress the car
An official statement issued in ST. Pc
tersburg gives the casualties in the col
lision between strikers and troops on
January % as SO killed and 333 wounded.
OF the latter, 30 have died.
1t is the intention of the Russian
government to bring Maxine Gorky
and seven other authors and publicists
to trial on political charges.

INVENTIVE INGENUITY.

An Austrian railway mechanic has
discovered process by which the smoke
of warships can be entirely concealed
from view.
A clock which seems to be preem-
inently adapted for the sick-room or
hospitals is the invention of Prof. Hirth.
of Munich 1t consists merely in the de-
preston of button, which cuts in a
small electric lamp placed under the

throwing the shadow of the face and
its hands upon the ceiling in highly
magnified state. Viewed from the bed
of reclining invalid, 1t obyiates the
irksome craning Of the neck.
The man with the flowing mustache
has not been forgotten by the inventor,
despite the fact that the many mustachs
cups that one time or another have made
their appearance on the market all
proved pecuniary failures. The latest
sspirant for the honors in this particu-
lar field is an Englishman, who offers a
neat little device for attaching to soup
spoons to facilitate the eating of soup
by the possessors of long, flowing mus
taches. 1t is made of aluminium and
embodies spring design, which admits
of its attachment to practically any
spoon.
A French electromotiOn company has
produced an electric carriage in which
the use of pinions, chains and gearing
for'transmitting motion to the driving
wheels is entirely dispensed with. In
this new machine the motors and the
wheels are described as being one and
the same thing. The axles receive their
motive power directly from the accumu-
lators. The weight of the carriage il
thus reduced, and it is asserted that
these "live-axle" machines can travel
20 to 80 per cent farther than those OF
ordinary construction because of the
| saving Of energy. The appearance Of
the new carriages is improved, except
that the wheels have clumsier look.

cptton still in the fields. that there
was very little rnpicked. He said that
a large majority of farmers had kept
up with the picking anc that on an
average there is not more than hun
dred pounds of cotton to the acre new
in the fields. He said also that there
is no top crop at all, killing frost
now would do damage to cotton. He
remarked that the cotton crops was so
short shat the farmers have had time
to cut hay and that more hay had
been saved this year in good condition
than he had ever Known. The hay
will be needed as the oat crop this
spring was short and the corn crop
was also far below the average in poIna
