STRIKES CONTINUE.
Poland Still In Grip of Labor AGi-

Poland stiI In Grip of Labor Axi-
 tators-Riots at Minsk.
 WARSAW. March 1.-The strike sit uation in Poland Is far from encourag- ing. A general strike of shop assist ants fin Warsaw is expected today un- less the demands of the men are con ceded. Seventy-flve per cent of the employers are willing to give in, but the remainder refuse to do so. The do- nestle servants also threaten to strike today.
 Negotiations between the employers and strikers are continuing, but there appears to be little hope of successful outcome. All the coal received here now is coming from Silesia. The situa- tion was further complicated by strike of coal cart drivers. D r-The owners of the great cotton mills at Zyrardoff have notified 15.O0O strfk- CTS that unless they returned to work immediately the mills would be closed for six months.
 There Is some evidence of recrudes- cence of the I.odz strike.
 The students of the clerical seminary at Minsk have wrecked the houses of the director and inspector of schools and burned all their papers. All the students then left the town.
 Maxim Gorky. who was released from the fortress on $2.5OO bail. has been banished at St. Petersburg to Riga.
 Serious disturbances have broken out at Kutais. and troops have been called for to suppress them.

CRIMINAL FAThLISTS.
No Matter How Many Times Captured,
 They Stick to One Speciality.

No Matter How Many Times Captured,
 They Stick to One Speciality.
 Criminals seem to be the strongest kind of fatalists." remarked Judge Neff of Pittsburg. recently. Judge Ncff is widely known as an authority ol. criminology and his long experience a5 prosecutor, judge and lawyer has given him unusual opportunity of studying scientifically the causes and characteristics of crime.
 q have noticed that when q crim- inal is arrested after finishing one sen tence the second charge is generally the same as the one which first got him into trouble. It seems like strange kind of fatality. I've known instances where one criminal has been arrested and punished five or six times oh charges exactly the same.
 What makes. them do it: I'm not sure can explain it satisfactorily, hut I know it to be the case. It has oc. cured to me, and possibly this is the simplest explanation, that the reason for criminal adhering strictly to one line of work Is the same as the fas- cination which holds d gambler to table. although luck is against him.
 Each failure or each loss shows the victim point which he has hitherto been ignorant of, and it is easy to con- vince him that the next time he will escape that mistake.
 And so it goes. Ever the next time, just one more chance, and then anoth- CT. ever confident that the luck must change and that each turn of the wheel leaves him just that much bet , ter equipped and that much more like ly to win finally. Then there is the desperation. the unconsciousness and gritty determination to make a success oi it.
 He fails and is arrested, convicted and punished. the process of the law simply goes to show him wherein his ! first job was bunglins and poorly car ried out The first feeling of resigna- ton, that follows the bitterness of pun ishment is when he tells himself that next time he will not repeat the error which led to his detection on the pres ent occasion. No sooner Is he out of the penitentiary than he essays again to try his luck, this time carefully avoiding the mistake which first brought him to grief.
 Tt is well known fact that no criminal, no matter how expert or how daring. can cover up all his tracks. The very best of them will leave at least one loophole. will commit at least one error. which eventually fastens the guilt upon him. The poorer criminals leave clues according to their skill or experience. So our imaginary crook. the second time he plans a job, while he carefully avoids repetition of his first error. is almost sure to make some other one. And so OH. each succeeding crime and detection pointing ont to him the lines of his weakness. so that he is irresistibly led onward to his de- structiOn. .'-Detroit Tribune.

SlO,OOO FOR A NAME.
A Legacy Awaiting Any Massachusetts a... Town Calling Itself Cushman.

 a.. Town Calling Itself Cushman.
 Through the death of Mrs Anna F. Ctlshman at Salem last year an odd be- quest in the will of her husband. the late Henry w. Cushman. lieutenant' governor of Massachusetts under Gov ernor George s. Boutwell,. becomes op- eratve
 Mir Cushman left the sum of SlO,OO0 to his widow for life and ordered that upon her death the money was to be paid over to the first town in Massa- chusetts that dropped it's own corpOr' ate name and adopted that of Cush- man.. Already two towns have been mentioned as being likely to make d bid for the money. for such sum does not hang on every bush even il. Massachusetts.
 BernardstOn, q small town in the Berkshires. the birthplace of Lieuten. antGovernor Cushman, is considered most likely to try to get the money. Under the provisions of the will, Der nardstOn has tirSth chance at the money, and in case it does not accept the conditions then the first town of hot less than 1000 inhabitants to adopt the name takes the prize some O. the residents are in favor Df taking the money, but others are strongly Op- posed to making the place memorial tO Lieutenant Governor Cushman just because he was born there.
 Onset Bay. which is included in the old township of Wareham, has peti- ton on file at the state house for sep arati0n from Wareham aid the Fdsh- man offer is recognized as its chance If it can get its petition through the legislature at the coming session. Last year the petition was referred to the next legislature by the committee on towns.
 One difficulty is that the new town. provided it becomes such. may have some difficulty in fulfilling the popula- lion requirements of the testator. It whl take pretty close figuring and the counting of noses later in the season than May to secure tally of 1000 boUu uut Witulu tHt lllfs us now proposed. of the new town of On set.
 If no town in Massachusetts con- plies with the conditions of the will within five years after the death of Mrs Cushman. any town in the United States of not less than 1000 popula- hon shall be entitled to receive the e1O,000 and accumulated interest if It is willing to bear the name of Cush- man in memory of the testator.

DEATH TO VLADIMIR
Russian Terrorists Proclaim
 Grand Duke Doomed.
WIFE TRYING TO SAVE HIS LIFE.
irand Duchess Marie, Warned by As- sassins That They Intend to Kill Him, Watches and Follows
 Him EyeryWhere.


 ST. PETERSBURG. March 1.-The terrorists are acting with increasing boldness here. Grand Duke Vladimir, who is marked for death by the or ganization that blew the Grand Duke Sergius to pieces, is in state of col lapse. His 'vife is doing her utmost to save hi. .isking her own life in the attempts to balk the hands of the assassins.
 The utter impSency of the police is exciting grave concern. Even on the steps of public buildings simple mo- tices of Grand Duke Sergius' death have been found. They read:
 ''The sentence of death passed upon Sergius-Alexandrovitch was executed Feb. IT,"
 They are signed by the fighting or ganization of the Social Democratic party.
 Moreover, the notices were neatly printed, thing unknown in the days of the late Interior Minister von Plehve, when similar notices were al- ways run off on copying machines.
 The secret police then were too close on the heels of the terrorists to permit of the use of printing press.
 The Grand Duchess Marie Pavlovna, wife of Grand Duke Vladimir, father of Grand Dukes Cyril and Boris, whose husband is high on the list of those condemned to death, is trying to shield bis life with her own. The grand duke tries to elude his wife. but she insists upon being immediately apprised if he is going out, donning wraps and ac- companying him everywhere.
 Since "red Sunday" the Grand Duke Vladimir has not only been showered with threats and warnings. but has twice received from abroad formal let ters signed by different groups inform ing him of his sentence to death and of the assignment of men to execute 1t.
