RIoTlNG AND sLooosHED.
Violence by cossacks, Police, Mobs and
Anti-Jewish Rioters.

st. Petersburg-Alt Wednes-
days passed in comparative quiet in st.
Petersburg and Moscow, a flood of dis
patches from all parts of the empire
report disorders in many cities with a
heavy total of dead and wounded. The
people, while celebrating their new
found freedom, were in many instances
set upon by CoSsacks and police, while
sometimes the spirit of mob violence
broke forth and the lower elements of
the population gave themselves to
pillage and destruction.
The most serious disorders appar-
emily occurred at Odessa, where hun
dreds Of persons are reported to have
been killed or wounded and where the
rioting is momentarily expected to
flare out into repetition of the
slaughter of last July, and at Kazan,
where three-days' reign Of terror was
| ended only by the retirement of all
Cossacks to their barracks. The revo-
lutionists demand the establishment of
republic and as a result of this de-
mand the strong arm of General Tre-
poff has again been invoked. Thus
brute force and popular sedition are
again facing each other
| Even the appointment of Grand Duke
| Michael as military dictator, with Gen
eral Trepoff as his right hand man, is
discussed in official circles. Late last
night the revolutionary leaders advised
the populace to refrain at present from
precipitating a conflict.
A deplorable feature of the news
from the interior is that anti-Jewish
uprisings have occurred in many
places, especially in south Russia.
where the populace vented its hatred
of the Jews by sackihg their stores and
clubbing the members of the race, in
some cases fesorting to the torch.
The attacks on the crowds are re-
ported to be in most cases the work of
Cossacks, who many times were appar-
emily let loose upon the people without
direction or authority
Count Whites. task in securing a fair
trial for the new experiment in con
stitutionalism is most difficult one
He is disappointed at not securing the
support of the liberals, on whose CO
operation he counted. Many of these
are holding aloof and seem rather to
enjoy the predicament in which the
new premier finds himself
Meanwhile, the Socialists and revo-
lutionaries. who believe they have the
government stampeded, are bending
every effort to keep the movement 60
ing and to precipitate a catastrophe
from which they hope a socialistic re-
public will emerge. This is a consum-
nation as little to be desired by the
E:ajority of liberals, as by the govern
ment itself, and therein lies the chief
hope that the force gathering under
the banner of Count Witte is sufn-
ciently strong to make head against
the revolutionary movement and the
spirit of unrest throughout the coun-
try.

THE CURING OF CONSUMPTION.
Great Work Being Done in New York
POSTGRADUATE HosptsL

For the benefit of poor consumptives
| unable to leave their work, or to go
from home to more congenial eli
| mate, the New York POSTGRADUATE
Hospital some years ago set apart
portion of its free dispensary. Some
of the methods employed are described
| in Pearson's.
The patients report at the hospital
twice daily, and these daily gatherings
give the physicians in charge "an op-
| portunity to cross-eXamine the pa
tsents, to correct their faults of living
| and instruct them how to make the
| most of their means. The patients
are hidden to eat all they can of
wholesome food, allowing an interval
of five hours between meals. Things
| specifically barred are tea, coffee, CO.
Goa, chocolate, vinegar, alcohol in any
form, beef tea and meat extracts. 1t
is preferred that the ratients do not
use tobacco. Fresh air and cleanliness
of person and surroundings are insist
ed upon. Frequently the patients oc-
cupation will not permit of his con-
| trolling his supply of air during the
day but he must sleep with his win
dows wide open in all kinds of wealth
| er. Why do we hear all this talk
about the great necessity of fresh air
in curing consumption? The reason
is that heat and energy are convertible
| terms. that if the fat you take into
your system is to be utilized as energy
it must be kindled, and that to kindle
anything you must have oxygen, which
is found in proper quantity only In
air that is fresh. Women patients who
wear corsets must take them off.
Besides being instructed as 10 the
method of cure, the patients are
taught that the curing of cause of
tuberculosis depends as much, if not
more, upon the determination and will
of the patient as upon the skill of the
physician
Some heroic struggles are made by
some of the patients who are deter
mined to get well. The writer tells of
one poor woman who, with both lungs
affected and cavity in her chest, sat
bundled up whole winter in a room
with the windows wide open. while
she sewed with fingerless gloves blow
ing on her hands now and then to re-
lieve the numbness. Her perseverance
was happily rewarded with recovery.

which for the first time in the history

which for the first time in the history
of Russia were freely permitted.
Under the orders of Count Witte
and General Trepoff the troops gener-
ally were withdrawn from the streets
of the cities and the fullest rein given
to the people to let out their enthu-
siasm in demonstrations which, so
long as they were not destructive, were
not interfered with.
Early in the day the "Marseillaise"
supplanted the national anthem as the
popular marching song.
The loyalists attempted to take the
lead against the socialists and revolu-
tionists by organizing counter parades,
in which they carried the red, white
and blue banner of Russia and chanted
the national anthem, but they were
driven off the Nevslly Prospect by the
overwhelming numbers of the reds
every time they appeared.
The soldiers off duty mingled freely
with the demonstrators and fraternized
with the populace.

Chicago.-Charles ]. Devlin, the
bankrupt millionaire coal operator of

hospital in this city Wednesday, the re-

suffered the first stroke last summer
at Topeka, and this fact led to the fail

Devlin was tifty-two years old and

body will be taken to LaSalle, Illinois.
Although Devlin's private, fortune
derived from immense coal mining in
terests in the West, was estimated at
from $5,000,000 to S7,000.000 at the
time he was stricken with his fatal i'll

A GlueSOme Experiment.

At a recent gulllotining at Orleans,
France, the doctor in attendance male
a gruesome experiment. As the muir
derer's head fell into the basket the
doctor seized it and shouted the mans
name in the ear, whereupon the eyes
opened slowly and then closed. This
was repeated a second time with the
same effect, but to the third call there
was no response.
Professor Hartman explained that
after death there is senslbility OF the
tissues much longer in those executed
in the full vigor of health than in the
case of death after illness.
In the Orleans case he says the eye
lids opened, not because the name was
pronounced, but because the voice
produced reflex action on the nerves.
They would have lifted just the same
if any other name had been called.
