SAYS AUTOCRACY
IS NEAR ITS END
MADAME De BLUMENTHAL
PREDICTS REVOLUTION
In an Address Before Club Women
the cpeaker Lepiores Condi-
tions Now Existing In
Russia

"The autocracy in Russia has out
grown itself. 1t must come to an end,
and soon," said Nine. de Blumenthal
yesterday in an address on "Social
Conditions in Russia" delivered before
the Wednesday Morning club.
The speaker, who, with large num-
ber of Russian women of the upper
class, is devoting her life to the better
ment Of the conditions among peasant
women of Russia, gave a narrowing
picture of the poverty and degradation
of the masses of Russian women and
declared that the day is not far off
when a radical change will be made in
all social affairs Of the country.
1.-THE people think that the czar is
only tool in the hands of a few"
said Nine. de Blumenthal. HE is weak
physically and mentally. and all realize
that he is no fit ruler for so vast a
country. The autocracy must go
sooner or later.
1.-THE present war Is utterly useless
and we realize that the other nations
will never allow Russia to get a foot
hold in Manchuria.
1.-The people want free life and a
free nation that can work out its own
problems.
1.-THE slayer of the grand duke is not
looked upon as a murderer. The act
was done under the influence of others
hot ha xuhn did If
should be lauded rather than con-
demned."
The work of the lace makers who
spend weary hours with almost no
recompense and who have to support
large families on a few cents day
was described, and the speaker said
the wealthy women of the country are
endeavoring to do away with the mid
die man, who receives all the profit,
and sell the laces direct to the Gus
toners.
It is this work that Nine. de Blumen-
thai is now engaged in, and she expects
to secure a market for much of the
work in America. She will go to Rus
sia in about two months, but will re-
main only a short time before re-
turning to California again.
She paid a tribute to the state when
she said 1.-THE world comes to Cali
fornia you do not have to go out to
find the world. This is the ideal
country"
The session was called to order by
the president, Mrs. H. c. Cover. and
short business meeting was held. The
reports of the delegates from the state
federation were heard and notice was
given of proposed amendment to the
constitution to raise the dues. The
amendment will be voted upon at the
next meeting. Mrs. Frank Sturge, who
has contributed musical numbers at
many of the meetings during the year.
gave two delightful selections yester-
day. and she introduced Mrs. Roe with
mandolin trio.

ROYALTY In Inches

King Edward represents fully the
average height in British stature,
which is feet 7% inches, his actual
height in his boots being feet S1s
inches.
The Emperor William falls slightly
below his royal uncle. but not below
the average German height. OF the
elected rulers President Loubet repre-
sents the French average, which is 5
feet inches.
On the other hand we find the en-
peror of Japan to be far above the
national standard of height. His ma
jesty is a tall man for a Japanese-5
feet inches. The tallest royal per-
sonage is King Leopold, 6 feet 6 inches,
which places him next to Peter the
Great. who measured feet Sls inches.

When she stopped to gaze in the

The ring was a present from her

Bright, cheerful hopeful thoughts
and a strong belief in ones own ability
to accomplish the thing undertaken are
friends that viii insure success. The
ambitious person should learn as early
in life as possible to pick out the
friends and enemies Of success, and in
many cases it will be found that the
greatest enemy resides within himself.
Morbid thoughts, for example, are inf
nitely greater h~indrances to success
than opposition from outside, and no
health, no beauty, no harmony, no real
success can exist in the atmosphere Of
abnormal melancholy or morbid ideas.
Overcome the enemies to success with
in yourself and you will have done
much toward reaching the goal of your
ambition.-London Answers.

The PENIS Grove Record
FRIDAY. AUGUST 5. 1905.

Some farmers appear to forget that
their land extends to the middle Of the
roadway, and that they have rights and
duties in connection with the roadsides.
1t is common to find by the wayside the
largest weeds in the neighborhood. They
have had it all their own way, and this
has been to ripen a large crop of seeds.
Such neglect Of the roadside is a great
mistake, and it not only gives a neglect
ed appearance to the roadway, but is the
means of propagating weeds that do much
damage to the crops in the adjoining
fields. 1t does not matter how clean the
cultivated crop may be kept if weeds are
left to grow just over the fence. 1t is
too late now to do more than to dig out
and burn some weeds, but Of all kinds
the seeds should never be allowed to ma
ture, so to make the work of subduing
these pests less burdensome in the future,
besides adding to the attractiveness OF
the roadway.

A CORRECTION

The estate of Aleck L. Justice as esti-
mated last week at $4,000 left entirely
TO his widow with the exception of a few
gifts to friends (?) is a mistake. The es-

left to his nearest relatives. The

ely forgotten as he had no such friends.
