New Job of Premier Will Not Re an
 Easy One to Fill.
 St Petersburg, Oct. 26.-4 d. m.)- Confronted by a situation more crucial than any since the beginning of the political and social upheaval of Rus sia, and Fwhat the time this dispatch was filed shows no signs of ameliora- ton the Emperor's ministers, under the leadership of Count Witte. spent almost all of yesterday in conference in the hope of finding some way out of the crisis into which the revolutionists and the socialists have cast the coun- try.
 The general strike on the railroads is complete except in a few border provinces, and St. Petersburg Moscow and other large cities are almost as closely beleaguered as if they were in- vested by besieging armies. At the same time the industrial strike has as- sumed large dimensions and the turbu- lent elements In several localities are offering open resistance to the troops.
 The ministers, who had been in ses- sion during the day, resumed their meeting after a short interval for din- ner and continued their deliberations until long after midnight. The result of these deliberations are not known.
 The ministers were summoned to meet. not as the committee of minis ters of which Count Witte is Presi- dent. but as council of ministers, Of which Count Solsky Is properly the chairman, and the selection of Count Witte to preside. which was done by direction of the Emperor. shows that q ministerial cabinet is actually, though not formally. an accomplished fact.
 It Is understood that an edict for mally establishing a ministerial cabi- net, which will bear the old name or "Sovyet' or council. will be published in The Official Messenger Saturday next. together with an imperial re- script addressed personally to Count Witte. entrusting him with the simul- taneously created position of premier.
 There appears to be some question as to whether the Count will take the portfolio of finance or that of the Min istry of the Interior.

Tr. J.n.rese Cavnlry.

correspondent of The London Times
 writing from General Nosi's headquarters
 under date of June 30. says: From dis cussion of the training and organization of the Japanese cavalry. 1t Is interesting to turn to their performances during the war. It has been assumed that the cavalry has done nothing because 1t has not raided the Russian communications. or otherwise emu lated the proceedings of Mishchenko and Rennenkampf But in merely preserving its existence in face of greatly prepondsr- ating numbers the Japanese cavalry has per- formed no mean feat. Far from being con- tent with merely holding their town, how ever. they have patroIied and reconoitered the enemy's country with daring and spirit on many occasions. The results have not been great. because the numbers employed were necessarily small: and such damage as was done has been carefully concealed Dy the Russians.

Erne Better Than Young Corbett.

Philadelphia. oct 25.-Young Erne of this city had a trifle the better of Young Corbett tonight in their six round fight at the Washington Sport ing Club. His advantage was so slight that some of the spectators were in cIined to call 1t a draw. Both men put up, fast fight. Corbett was the az gressor. but was not quite fast enough as the local man usually landed first. In the opening round Corbett sent Erne to the floor and after that the Philadelphia man fought very eau tiously. Erne landed the greater num- Der of blows. He frequently jabbed Corbett and then went into a clinch before the latter could retaliate. 4 large crowd saw the bout

A awaiinn Christmas.

Before the missionaries and the
American settlers went to Hawaii the
natives knew nothing about Christmas,
but now they all celebrate the day
and do it, of course, in the same way
as the Americans who live there. The
main difference between Christmas in
Honolulu and Christmas in New York
is that in Honolulu in December the
weather is like June in New York.
Birds are warbling in the leafy trees;
gardens are overlooking with roses and
carnations; fields and mountain slopes
are ablaze with color, and a sunny sky
smiles dreamily upon the glories Of a
summer day. In the morning people go
to church, and during the day there
are sports and games and merrymak-
ing of all sorts. The Christmas dinner
is eaten out of doors in the shade of
the veranda, and everybody is happy
and contented.-St. Nicholas.

MAKING CHRISTMAS TOYS.
A Thriving Industry In Germany,
France and SwitzerIand.

In parts of Germany, France and
Switzerland every humble householder
takes more interest in Christmas than
the average American boy. This seems
like a strong statement, for Christmas
is pretty thoroughly appreciated by the
young Of America. But, great as the
festival is to them, 1t is not essential to
their existence. They could get along
without Christmas, but the toymakers
in Switzerland, the Tyrol and south
Germany would starve without this
midwinter holiday which makes a mar
ket for their goods. There are wood
carvers, doll dressers and toymakers
in every hamlet and home of the Tyrol.
They depend upon the small wages
they make from these toys to put bread
and butter in their mouths.
All through the winter season every
boy and nan carves out wood animals
and toys for the factories. Everything
is handmade. A Noah's ark of twenty
or thirty wooden animals that retails
for a quarter in this country does not
pay the carver more than a few pen
MES.
The boys are taught to handle the
knife early, and they learn to cut out
wooden ducks, hens, horses, cows and
other toys before they have reached
their teens. Working all through the
early winter days and nights in their
little homes, they make the wooden
toys that delight so many children
throughout the world.-New York Mail
and Express.

Ocean City VS.. Wildwood
I'm the Ocean City Sentinel.

From the Ocean City Sentinel.
"a great deal is being said of the
rapid growth of Wildwood and Five
Mile Beach," remarked a local real
estate man. "Some Ocean City peo-
Pile seem to take delight in boosting
Wildwood to the detriment, if posi-
BILE, of this city, and it is all really very
tiresome when one stops to consider
the facts.
"These people, in talking of Wild
wood, say land is SO cheap in that
place. Now, as a matter of fact, all
things considered, land is as cheap in
Ocean City, if not cheaper.
"The prices asked for choice lots in
Wildwood are $25OO and $4,000. Now,
the best lots in Ocean City, outside of
the ocean front, are not held for a
higher figure. Take the lots on Cen
trail avenue, from Seventeenth to Fifty
ninth streets, in Ocean City. This
street is as beautiful as one could ask
for, seventy feet wide, and nicely grad
ed and curbed, with trolley car service.
Lots on this thoroughfare, 4Ox10O feet,
car be bought for $3.50. Lots on AS
bury avenue, from Seventeenth to
Thirty-fourth streets, another wide and
improved ~thoroughfare, can be pur-
chased for prices ranging from 5000 to
$500. Going to another section of the
city, look at the lots on Bay avenue,
north of Fourth street. Lots there,
facing the bay, car be had for $500.
Don't talk to me of Wildwood,
when Ocean City, practically a COM
pleted town sc far as it relates to streets,
sewers, lights, etc., offers many fine
lots at figures such as l have quoted"

A Sad Accident.

4 peculiar accident occurred at
Batesburg last Saturday. The sweet
little girl baby of Mr.. and Mrs. 81.
T. Wright, of Batesbure, lost her
life. The circumstances surrounding
the sad accident was indeed heart
rendiDg. 10 the afternoon of that
day several little girls were engaged
at the Wright home in game of
bids and seek and getting tired Of
the game quit, and then for the first
time noticed the absence of little
Annie, Search was made immediate
ly and after some time she was found
fallen head foremost into an empty
post hole half full of water. The
smallness of the hole prevented her
from extricating herself. or, making
any outcry. When found her body
was wedged tightly in the hole, go
much so that some difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting her out.
The deplorable occurance has cast
q gloom over the entire community
and the bereaved family have the
sympathies of the entire county.
