st. Petersburg, April

st. Petersburg, April 25.-My wiz
regarding the convocationof represent
atiyes of the people is unswerving and
the minister of the interior is making
every effort for it's speedy realiza-
tion." Emperor Nicholas, receiving in
au uiience at Tsarkskoe- -Selo Sunday
the. marshal of nobility, Kostrona, di-
ree.ted the above message to be COM
mrlnicated to the nobility of Kostroma.
The message was evidently designed to
be published, to quiet the fears of those
who are impatient at the delays and
WHO have grown skeptical of the fulfil
ment Of promises contained in the i'm
perial rescript.
Il rumor was circulated here to the
effect that the emperor will mark Eas-
ter by a proclamation of general am
.ne.;ty for all political and religious
prisoners. Fears that the Easter holi-
days which extend over thirteen days
will be the occasion for bloody riots
ara. manifested everywhere and the
population is becoming distinctly pan
icky over the stories which are circu-
lated of murder, pillage and terrorism
on the part Of mobs in various parts
of the country. Liberals pretend to
believe the stories are purposely cir
cu.ated by the police. In any event
the strain Is becoming intense.
This is holy week, when all Russia
Is usually in sackcloth and ashes, but
The, poorer classes of people who gem
orally attend the incessant masses, now
spend most of their time at the doors
Of the churches gossiping about what
may happen next week. The solemn
religious. service at the winter palace
which in ordinary years takes place
Saturday at midnight, when the metro
pplitan Of st. Petersburls9 roclaims to
tht. emperor in the preserSA of the
imperial family, ministers and leading
fulctionaries the rising of Christ from
the grave, will not take place this year
on account of the danger involved In
stead similar service will be held at
Tsarkskoe- -Selo. Governor General
Trepoff insists on his ability to pre-
serve order and protect life and prop
erty. Russ formally denies that NJ.
Wttte has resigned the presidency Of
the committee Of ministers. Bourse
Gazette publishes report that Kuro-
pat.kin will return from the front and

Washington, Conn.,, 25. - To attend
the funeral of Senator o. H. Platt
trains from nearby towns brought
hundreds of visitors to the village to-
day. Many men Of national fame were
among them, including members of
congress, senators and state officials.
Vice President Fairbanks was present
as a representative Of President Roose-
Welt. Long before the time set for
the funeral it was apparent the Con-
gregational church was entirely too
small for the crowd. In keeping with
the simplicity of all the funeral ar
rangements the altar decorations in
the church consisted mainly OF
branches of evergreen and mountain
laurel and few bouquets Of flowers.

TALK 100 MUCH9

In the United States we are prone to
talk too much. We do not sufficiently
appreciate the value and beauty of
silence. During and after business hours,
at the lunch and dinner table we talk on
and on without ceasing, as though there
was nothing worth thinking about. We
invented the talking machine, and no
American is considered properly
equipped unless he can talk at all times
and upon all subjects. Information
must be impaired and ideas exchanged;
1t is essential to mental companionship
and develops our faculties of expression.
But there is no necessity for the endless
and eternal talk in which so many of us
There is great force and value
in silence. 1t enables us to think. It
forms and expresses character. The great
men of the world were relatively silent
men; they talked only when they had
to say, aud the greatest of
them said but very little. We should
the beauty of silence and
develop our thinking power rather than
our talking power.

SEASON OF GIVING.

This is the season of giving.
The spirit of doing something to
make others happy seems to be in
the very air. Not only do men
and women present their children
and relatives with gifts in honor of
Christmas, but they send tokens of
affection and regard to friends and
acquaintance, often to the poor
and needy whom they do not even
know. Children receive toys,
women get jewely. men are often
the recipients of substantial checks
from employers and various useful
from their wives and chill
dren. Boys and girls welcome
presents of clothing, skates, books,
etc. Now when this spirit of Civ
ing takes hold of you could you
think of more appropriate Christ
mas present than years subscrip-
ton to the Kentucky Irish Amer
Ican, journal devoted to Catholic
affairs in Louisville and throughout
he worlda If you are in arrears
'or your subscription to this paper

Indebtedness and begin the new

follows that these contractors are
enabled to put their products on
the market at an exceedingly low
price, and will, If the evil is not
corrected, drive the employers of
free labor out of business.
Men are imprisoned because they
have committed an offense against
the Government. But under ex-
isting conditions the imprisonment
of convicts in Kentucky affects the
interest of the honest mechanic and
laborer. 1t often happens that
convicts are better clad, fed and
housed than the honest man who Is
in competition with him. 1t is up
to the State Legislature to remedy
the existing conditions, and the
Kentucky Irish American hopes
and believes that when the time
comes to vote on this matter not
one member of the Louisville dele
cation will be found wanting.

CONVICT LABOR.

The Louisville Federation of La
Dor is taking active steps to elicit
the support of the forthcoming
Legislature in its effort to put an
end to the nefarious system under
which convicts are now employed
in the State penitentiaries.
1t is well known fact that un-
der the existing contract system
the employment of convicts is not
only prejudicial to the interests of
free labor, but materially affects
the prosperity of the manufacturer
who employs free labor. 1t is not
known, however, that
the State receives an average of
only forty cents day for the work
Of each convict, while it not only
feeds and clothes them. but fur
uishes light. heat and power to the
as well. 1t naturally
