oflE RUSSIAN O

One of the reforms which Will
come ont 0t the present chaos in
fuss!a Will he the substitution of the
Gregorian for The Julian calendar.
Commenting upon the proposed
reform the Boston Globe notes that
the Russian people, with the old
fashioned calendar which Julius Cae.
sar established in the year 10 Is. G.,
have been behind the times in q very
literal sense. As is well known the
Julian calendar fixed the solar ycar at
$50 days. and six hours. every fourth
year being leap year. The solar year.
however. really consists of 800 DAYS.
D hours ana 40 minutes, and the cal.
endar was defective.
Pope Gregory NIII, in l5S2 reform
cd the calendar by ordering mat that
year should consist of 3G5 DAYS onl-.
ana mat II year ending Il century
should not he leap year. EXCEPT that
ending each fourth century. For III.
stance. 100. 1900 and 1900 were COIN
mon years, nut ZuVD VIII De II leap
year. Three days arc saved by the
Gregorian calendar every 400 years,
or about eleven minutes for every
twelve months.
1t probably has been through the
influence OF the Greek church that
Russia has stuck to the Julian calcn.
dar, By which means hat county has
fallen thirteen DAYS behind the rest
OF the world. It's New Years Day
coming on the 18th of January.

ancient method of computing time
will be discarded many OF the super

SCHEDULE NOT BE CHANGED

Authorized representatives OF the vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute and the vir-
ginia Military Institute, the football
elevens from which are scheduled to play
hero on Thanksgiving Day, yesterday
gave out statement positively asserting
that there would be no change In the
schedule. and that the game would "be
for tho championship OF the South the
Southern team"
This forever settles the question that
was broached some time ago OF changing
the schedule 30 that the v. p. I. eleven
would meet the Carlisle Indians here on
Thanksgiving Day. and the Lexington
boys on the same day meet tho team rcp-
resenting the Georgetown college IN
Washington.
Virginia Military institute has regis
tered protest against about six OF the
players on tho Y. ?. !. eleven. Carpen-
and a man who has no peer in the North
protested against.
The question Is being asked whether
from Blacltsburg haven't as much right
to take part in "a game against the ".
NJ. l. eleven as they had to play IN the
game against Virginia. And upon this

both elevens.
The Indians anyway will not play here
unless arrangements can be made to
have game with them on the Saturday
following Thanksgiving Day.
Here is the statement from representa-
tiyes OF tho two Institutes:
On behalf of the Virginia Polytech-
mic Institute and the Virginia Military
Institute, we. their representatives IN =
this city, desire positively and finally
to deny that there will be any change
in the scheduled game OF football be-
tween those institutions In this city
on Thanksgiving Day. The game be-
tween their teams will be played un-
der the Virginia intercollegiate Regu-
lations, and will be for the champion
ship OF the South. v. P. l.. now being
the only undefeated Southern team.
We earnestly hope that the citizens
OF Richmond will appreciate our eff
forts to give them a good game after
the University OF Virginia had thrown
them down and removed her Thanks
giving game to Norfolk, and show It
a by a generous attendance.

Case Brought Under the Elkins'
Law to Test Legality Of Pay
ment of Rebates.
(By Associated Press.)

MILWAUKEE,. WIS, November H.
United States District Attorney II. K.
Butterheld and Assistant Counsel Charles
Quarles today filed complaint In the
United Statos Circuit Court against the
Milwaukee Refrigerator Transit COM
pany, the Pcre Marquette Railway Com
5pany, OF Missouri Kansas and Texas
Railway Company, tho Chicago, Rock
Island ana Pacific Railway Company, the
st. Louis and San Francisco Railway
Company, the Wisconsin Central Rail
road Company. the Chicago and Alton
Railroad Company, the Erie Railroad
Company and the Pnbst Brewing Com
pany, charging the various concerns with
violating the Elkins Inv prohibiting re-
bates, determinations and concessions.
The complaint alleges that the Milwnu-
kee Refrigerator Transit Company was
conceived and organized ana liz business
has been operated as device for the
purpose Of exacting, soliciting and re-
ceiving from the defendant railroad COM
pnncs, by way of rebates, concessions
and determinations, n large proportion

to the appointment fGovernor Atkln-
son by the lawyers who best knew hin
that President Mckinley was finally
constrained to reconsider his promise.
This he told Senator Scott. who re-
quested Mr. Mckinley to convey the bad
news himself to the Governor PRESS
dent Mckinley, feeling he could not risk
n serious blunder In the case. but anx-
ious to serve the Governor, assured him
he should have something "e1ually good
In another direction as soon as n va
cancy occurred OF the proper measure.
But none happened during the remainder
Of Mr.. McKinley's life. Tho promise
survived nevertheless, and 1T was sa.
credly carried out by President Roose-
velt Governor Atkinson wac accordingly
appointed last April to succeed tho late
Judge Weldon on the Court OF Claims.
The Senate not being IN session at the
time Of the appointment, the name OF the
appolntee Will have to go TO the Senate
at Tho next session, along with other re-
cess nominations.
A further complication urged enhances
interest In tho case. 1t Is a story that
deal was entered into by Atkinson and
Judge B. r. Keller, OF the Southern DIS.
trict OF the United States Court Of west .
Virginia, whereby tho two conditions pe-
Ing favorable. were TO exchange places as
soon as the former was confirmed by the
Senate as Judge Of the Court OF Claims.
Intt1nations to this effect have reacheo
tho legal profession In this vicinity and
caused d now disturbance Of mind. Judge
Keller liz known to be seriously afflicted
with deafness, and this Is defect which
lawyers prncticing before the Court OF
Claims regard MS a,fntal objection TO his
appointment.
The swap, or agreement to change
benches. presents the novel proposition
OF two distinguished citizens seeking to
lay down Offices they already hold, with
out Objection, to take UP the duties OF
other Offices, against the serious protests
OF tho people most concerned. 1t goes
without saying to those who have been
watching the case that the nomination Of
Judge Atkinson for the West Virginia
judgeship. would. under the circumstances
that have hitherto controlled, encounter
decisive opposition in the Senate. His
confirmation as Judge OF the Court OF
Claims, 1t is feared, would tend to COM
nit tho Senate SO far In his favor that
1t would strengthen his chances for car
ryinp out the agreement and getting for
himself tho coveted Southern District
judEeship in West Virginia. It Is not the
first time that by agreement, not OBJ
jectcd to by the appointing power, men
in office have been permitted to exchange
places, but the swap has not. as far as
can be nscertained, been quito so re-
ma rkable as the Atklnson-Keiler affair
agreeable enough to the contracting par
ties, but extremely Objectionable to tho
people where the aspirants seek to hold
office.

Army Record and Sick Wife Save
Chauffeur Who Blocked the
Presidents Carriage.
By Asso clated press.l

WASHINGTON, November IA few
weeks ago Walker Eldridge, chauffeur
for the Bureau Of Standards, was dis
missed from the government service for
misconduct, which camo under the per-
sonal observation Of President Roosc-
welt. The misconduct consisted OF drIv-
ing his automobile in such a manner as
to interfere with the passage along the
highway OF the Presidents carriage. BY
direction OF the President Eldridgo will
be reinstatcd in his old position at the
end OF two months from the date OF his
dismissal.
The exercise OF clomency by the Presl-
dent was due to Eldridge's excellent re-
cord In the Philippines; to the fact that
his father was veteran OF the Civil
War. and to the additional fact that his
wife is an invalid.
