"Passed Up" the Assassination.

The official reason for this step was
the publication in these two st. Peters
burg journals Of articles which the
minister of the interior regarded as rev.
dictionary. In reality their tone was
moderate enough, and the editors real
offense was probably their failure to
publish articles on the. grand dukes
murder, the journalists having been in
disposed to discuss the matter without
commenting on the true cause.
As a matter OF fact the autocracy,
having decided on reaction, is Selling
any convenient pretext to throttle the
progressive press. 1.-The newspapers"
said the Car to Prince Mirsky the
other day, have assumed a degree
of license unknown in the history of
Russia" So, as If censorship that ex-
tends even to the advertisements in
their columns were not enough. such
journals as dare to speak their mind,
or decline to speak what is not their
mind, are to be gagged
It is possible that the government
will be able to silence the voice of pub
lie opinion In this way. but already Its
victims are showing fight. The Nashi
Dni will attempt to resume publication
within three weeks under the name Of
the Synotechestoa, which the same ed
itors and publishers began issuing soon
after the Zemstov conference, and
which was suspended almost imme-
diately for three months, period now
expired.

Picked Good War Correspondents.

All this time he was saving money
and when the Russo-Turkish war came
along had just enough to buy a. small
newspaper, which, at that time, was
edited by the man who is now Suyorin's
greatest rival, Ossip Natoyitch. The
paper was to be had cheap-at the cost
OF only few hundred roubles-but
that was about the extent of Suvorin's
capital so at the start he had to sail
pretty close to the wind. He was brim-
full Of ideas, however, and showed great
judgment in picking his war CORE
spondents. and his paper soon caught
on. He changed its name to the No
Voye Vremya and the newspaper went
on prospecting until 1t became what 1t
Is today-the most valuable Journals
TIC property in Russia and the mouth
piece Of the autocracy.
His rivals declare that M. Suvorin is
absolutely INSCRIPTIONS, that his poll

government is altered and that he uses
his powerful influence with oficfaldom
to get any newspaper suppressed that
becomes dangerous. He has the salts

Father Against Son

That Suvorin. In spite OF his years is
exceptionally wide awake and quite
aware of what the future NAV bring
forth Is shown by the way In which he
recently set his son up in the newspaper
business. Seven months ago, aided nv
his father, the younger Suyorin pro-
duced the st. Petersburg Russ, which
now has quite a large circulation. It's
policy is diametrically opposed to that
Of the Novoye Yremya; it is progressive
to the backbone. and on its staff, which
includes some OF the cleverest of Rus
sian Journalists Is writer who return
ed only recently from Siberia, where he
was sent for writing an anti-Czar ar
ticle.
Supposedly, Of course, the Russ IS
fighting the Vremya tooth and nall, but
it is probable that NJ. Suvorin, sr., he
lieving that there is going to be a great
split of Russians into two political fac
lions. intends that the paper which he
has edited for SO long shall be the lead
ing organ Of one side. while that of the
other is in the hands Of his son.
The greatest real rival of the Novoye
Vremya is the Novosti dhe News, ed
tied by Ossip Constantinovitch Nato-
witch, who was editing the Vremya
when Suvorin bought II. Natovitch is
fifty, and has edited the NoVosti since
1877. Unlike the Vremya, the Novosti is
hostile to neither England nor the Jews.
Natovitch. in fact. always has advised
an alliance between Russian and Great
Britain. Under his guidance the No
vosti advocates tolerance. individual lib
erty and equal rights for all the sub
5ectS of the empire. This newspaper
deals principally with finance and trade,
and has an uncommonly capable staff.

St. Petersburg. March II.

ECENT events have brought Rus
l. sian journals and the men VINO
IN run them into the news with a
vengeance. By this time, most
Americans must have grown familiar
with the names of the ST. Petersburg
Novoye Vremya, Novosti, and Russ. the
Moscow Viedomosti, and the kien kieV-
Iianin, for since the beginning of
the Far Eastern war there has been
hardly a day when the telegraphic dis
patches have not quoted one or another
of them. So far, the editors of these
newspapers haven't got themselves into
trouble. but several of their confreres
have been less fortunate.
Among these are MeSsrs. Peschecho-
noff and Annensky, co-editors of the
Ruskoye Bogatso; NJ. Khishnikoff, edi-
tor of Our Life, and NJ Ganbeiser, edi-
tor of Our Days. They were among the
writers arrested with Maxim Gorky, just
after the massacre at the Winter Palace,
and sent witt him to the fortress of
Peter and Paul. Quite recently, too,
Prince Mestchersky, who owns and
edits the Grashdanin, was summoned to
a conference with the Car and M.
Pobiedonestseff, which, though ostensi-
bly, friendly enough. probably wasn't es-
pecially pleasant And, Immediately
after the assassination of Grand Duke
Sergius the editors OF the Liberal news
papers, Nashf Dni, and Nashaj-Izn were
warned and their journals suppressed
for three months.

ago their young daughter Helen asked:
-'Mr. President, viii you kindly tell me
just how a girl ought to salute the
American flag?"
The President was stumped. He re-
piled:
Now, my dear child if you were a
boy I readily could tell you the proper
way to salute the flag would be to raise
your hat and then drop your arm to
your side, but how a girl should salute,
really can't say
Helen was disappointed. Since she re-
turned the question has been discussed
by many persons, and TIE following
opinions of experts have been compiled:
Admiral George Dewey: Il see no adj
vantage Of establishing a form of salute
which shall be distinctive with the fe-
male sex The salute which has been
employed by men for many years is Civ
en- by raising the right hand to the fore
head and then dropping the hand, and

men and girls should not use the same

Admiral w. S. SchIey: Il believe the
salute of the flag by the mothers and
daughters of our land should be made
with the right hand on the heart, the
head reverently bowed"
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee: Il think an APP
probate salute for girl to make to the
flag would be to stand at attention and

Major Amos Jones.

Major Amos Jones of the United Confederate Veterans died in this city
 on the night of February 11th.
 He was born near Fayetteville, North
 Carolina in 1885. and at an early age
 was brought by his parents to Ala
 bama. Here in Montgomery County
 he attained his majority surrounded
 by all the influences that developed in
 him a noble manhood. Much of his
 youth was passed amid rural scenes
 that have been so favorable to the
 origin and expansion of the characters
 of some of the greatest and noblest citizens in American history.
 Accustomed to attend public meet
 ings he heard discussed the great
 principles of government, that distin-
 guished the Southern people, and the
 enforcement of which, conduced to the
 war between the Confederate States
 and the United States. He was
 honestly and thoroughly convinced of
 their wisdom, consequently when the war began between the republics he promptly volunteered in the Confed- crate army. He became a member of Company D, in the 3rd battalion of "Hilliard's Legion" and after the bat tie of Chickamauga he was placed in Company c of the 60th Alabama regi-
 ment, which conduced so much to the renOWn or NrdClO IdulOuS DTtSdQe. HI it, he performed all the duties of a brave soldier. No command was given that he did not cheerfully obey. He encountered every danger without faltering, and endured every hardship
 without a murmur. All fatigue was
 born without complaint. No priva- ! tion could disturb his dauntless soul. The admirable traits he displayed in war, he showed no less in the days of peace. He was eminently patriotic; and nowhere and upon no occasion did he swerve from the discharge of his duty to his God his country; or his | friend. He was not conspicuous in
 the public affairs of Alabama, because | his modesty did not permit him to
 aspire to political prominence.

BAD BOYS SENTENCED
JORDAN SCOTT AND WALTER SCOTT
 GO TO REFORMATORY.
Mon1m0mery Youth Kicked uP His Heels and Fought SherlR Waller After Sentence by Judge
 Thomas.

Tn the person of Jordan Scott, 12- year-old white boy, sentenced yesterday by Judge William H. Thomas of the criminal division of the City Court of Montgomery to the Alabama Industrial School at East Lake, Sheriff w. R.. Waller found refractory prisoner:
 Jordan Scott and his brother Waiter Scott, aged IA years, were yesterday brought into court by their aunt. who requested that they be sent to the reformatory. She stated to the court that the boys were orphans and had no means of support. Their grandfather, Mr. Joe Brown, whom the boys lived with, had no means besides his labor and is now, on account of poor health, unable to work. She had kept the boys with her for awhile, but found that they would not attend school, would not work. persisted in idling around the streets and doing other things not calculated to make their future successful.
 Judge Thomas sentenced each boy to the reformatory until they reached their majority. He addressed the boys kindly, advising them to learn trade at the school and come out therefrom useful men.
 The Judge closed his remarks by phalxing each of the youngsters hands and telling them goodbye.
 During the remarks young Jordan Scott smiled and tried on a new cap his aunt had purchased for him.
 When the judge left the ofice of the clerk of the court, where the proceed ings took place, the aunt kissed each of the youngsters a farewell. This was too much for young Jordan Scott. T ain't going" he yelled and the tears began pouring down his cheeks. T ain't going. I'm going to live in the woods. I don't want to learn trade and I don't want to go to school. can sleep in barns. I won't go."
 The aunt explained that the boys were then in the hands of the sheriff. The mention of the sheriff brought terror to the youngsters heart

Scarcely ten years ago Luther Bur hank was denounced as an enemy to all true scientific progress, a misleading prophet of a new order of things that could never come to pass. Today he has become the foremost man in the world in the production of new and interesting forms of fruits, trees, flow CTS. vegetables, grasses. and nuts. Cali fornia's pride in him is growing and mainfesting itself. He is acknowl- edged abroad as a genius of high rank. Carnegie Institution has appropriated for his work one hundred thousand dollars each year for ten years. This remarkable man and his unique work in creating new forms of plant life will be the subject of two authoritative papers by William $. Harwood in The Century, the first article appearing in the March issue. Added to unusual op- portunities for familiarity with MT. Burbank and his work, MT. Harwood his brought to his articles on "A Wonder worker of Science" keen in- terest and warm enthusiasm. Numerous illustrations from photographs, many of them here shown for the first time will add to the interest and value of the account.
