ABLE TO MOVE TRAINS.

Only the Baltic Roads Are Completely
Tied Up.
st. Petersburg, Dec 23.-The failure
of many of the railroad men of St.
Petersburg to obey the strike order
and the ability of NJ. Nemechaieff,
minister of communications, to move
trains on all roads except the Baltic
roads are thorns in the sides of the
strike leaders. The fat went forth at
q meeting OF the WOrkmen's council
that traffic must be interrupted at all
costs, though this admittedly will be
difficult on the Nicholas road TO Mos
COW. Trains are running with their
ordinary crews on this line, but all the
trains are heavily guarded. The dele
gates will try moral suasion with the
faithful employees, but it is feared they
will also resort to destroying the
bridges along the road. The govern
ment has succeeded in arresting prac-
tically all the members Of the strike
and railroad committees.

Mr. Smith keeps the list OF the persons

HONEST PHYSICIAN
Works with Himself First.

It is a mistake to assume that physi-
clans are always skeptical as to the
curative properties Of anything else
than drugs.
Indeed, the best doctors are those
who seek to heal with as little use of
drugs as possible and by the use Of
correct food and drink. A physician
writes from Calf. to tell how he made
q well man of himself with Natures
remedy:
Before l came from Europe, where
I was born" he says, ut was my Gus
tom to take coffee with milk (cafe au
lait) with my morning meal, small
cup (cafe noir) after my dinner and
two or three additional small cups at
my club during the evening.

and accompanied by great depression

all my troubles were caused by coffee.
tbereupon quit its use forthwith,
substituting English Breakfast Tea.
THE tea seemed to help me at first,
but in time the old distressing symp.
toms returned. and quit 1t also, and
tried to use milk for my table bever-
age. This was compelled however to
abandon speedily for while It relieved
the nervousness somewhat. II brought

ity to the mails OF the post cards
which have become the rage within the
last two years, or since congress au-
thorized their use in the mails. This
form of souvenir and mailing card has
been utilized as a means to pander
to the desire for the risque and racy
in pictures and some of the specimens
are too indecent to pass through the
mails.
Instructions have been given post
masters throughout the country to re-
fuse the worst of these cards admission
and to send them to the dead letter
office. where they are finally passed
upon by Mr.. Young and his assistants.
1t is a little difficult to tell just where
the proper line should be Drawn, but
O large number of these post cards are
are so manifestly unfit for mailing that
the work of the censors Is cut out for
them. AS high as 5000 of these SOU
venirs have been confiscated and de-
stroyed in one day. The bulk of the

Mr.. Young, who acts as chief censor
in the interest of public morality, is
an old-time newspaper man and a
brother of the late John Russell
Young, the noted diplomat, traveller
and writer. Forty years ago Mr.. Young
was member of the press gallery here

spondent of Horace Greeley's New

ers have taken the matter up and COM
municated with the various governors.
The republican national committee will
take the matter under consideration in
November, for which time a special
meeting has been called.
There is practical unanimity among
the governors in favor of change of
date. The almost invariable bad
weather on the 4th Of March, the sick
ness and discomfort that attend that
day and the frequent deaths Of promi-
nent men resulting from exposure
while in attendance on the inaugural
functions have created sentiment en-
tirely favorable to postponement to
a later and better date. An amend
ment to the constitution Is required to
effect the change. A joint resolution
must be passed by congress, submit
ting the question to the several states.
Such resolution has twice passed the
senate and no doubt is felt that 1t
will pass the house this year.
In answer to the letter of the COM
missioners, asking the governors of the
NdiiouS otdtcS do W tuch opih-oho,
Gov. Terrell, Of Georgia, makes q Wig
orous reply, which may be taken as
an expression of the general guber-
Material opinion. He says: 1.-The peo-
pie of Georgia are convinced that so
important function as the Inaugural
ton of president Of the United States
should take place at season which
would not endanger the health and life
of the flower OF our land-many of
