RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
 IN A STATE OF PANIC.
hutiny Among the Blue Jackets Nay Spread to the Army-l000o0 Workmen May be Turned Against the Government and Odessa May be Center From Which Civil War Will be Waged.

St Petersburg, June 29.-The gov ernment is in state approaching panic over the events at Odessa and the grayest fears are entertained that the mutiny among the bluejackets may spread to the army. Should some Of the troops at Odessa be won over to the cause of their comrades of the navy other troops sent against them might throw down their arms or join the mutineers and with the support of over 100000 workmen Odessa would become the center from which civil war would be waged against the gov. ernment. General Kakhan0ff, com mander af the military district of Odessa, has been empowered to de clare martial law, and Vice-Admirai Chouknin, commander of the Black sea fleet, who recently declined the post of chief of the admiralty in sue cession to Admiral Avellan, left St Petersburg hastily during the night either for Sevastopol or Odessa. It is impossible to affirm exactly which, but beyond this no steps are known to have been taken to meet the emergen cy. Admiral Avellan was summoned to Peterhof at 8 o'clock this morning to discuss the situation with the em- peror. Such advices as the emperor and the government have received are carefully withheld.

WILL GIVE UP LAND
A. E. Rice Says That Is Easiest Way
 Out of Matter.

A. E. Rice was before the board of pubic works Tuesday and made a few remarks in which he showed that he possesses the characteristics which
 made his father, the late F. E. Rice,
 one of the most esteemed citizens of thls community. In making surveys for his new block at the corner of East
 Main and Brook streets he found that foot of his land is in the street, and after considering the complications that would arise in acquiring it, he de- cided to leave it there rather than make a fuss over it. I'm real glad you have taken that view of this mat. ter, said Engineer Cairns. "The situ. alton there is peculiar and you have hit upon very happy way of straight ening it out" The remarks of M. Rice reminded the reporter of tho Democrat of what his father once said when somebody dumped a load of stone onto lot he owned. T was going to fire them back onto his lawn,- he said, but I thought better of it after little reflection and concluded to wait and see what the man would do. The next day they were gone and the place cleaned up so that you would not know they ever were there. When I saw this I was mighty glad that l said nothing. Life is too short for bickerings and I think we could avoid lot of trouble if we only could manage to keep our temper in check" There is great deal in this. A good share of the worries and anxieties peo- pie suffer come from small things. In many instances if they were not no. ticed they wouldn't amount to any. thing at all; but every man is not built to see things in that light and as re- suit too many flare Up and get mad when there is no occasion for it. It doesn't pay, but some can't help it. Unless there is something worth the while at stake it would be better to be imposed upon than stew and fret for one hour.

NEW FIREWORKS.
Novel Devices With Which to Celebrate the
 Fourth.

h6nuIaCLurefs or FOurt0 or July nTe- crackers have added novelties to their displays this year, says the New York Post. Amid displays of lanterns and American flags in section of New
 York, which may be called the home of the fireworks tradesmen, there may be found the devil among the tai lors," golden tourbilllons. bouquets of gerbs, fiery wagglers and others pecul- iarly named mingling with the fa- miliar roman candles, skyrockets and pinwheels of years past.
 The cry of Hook out for the stick" when skyrocket ascends will be less heard this year. as the "stickless rock et" has made it's appearance. The de scription of new devices are certainly up to date: Lightning candles ascend. and amid the stars there are vivid flashes; fiery spider bombs that burst into a scene which resembles a score of mighty colossal spiders creeping across the sky; the radio electric shell that illumines the sky like flashes of 1000 shafts of forked lightning. and the weird white falls, representing Niagara by moonlight"-all these will be seen in many parts of the city.
 "Radium" has also been applied to new device. and the "scintillating wonder or radlum bombshells, showing displays of fiery golden dragons flying through the air. each dragon terminat- ing in a radium Hash" will cause many to wonder how such an expensive ar- ticle can be used so generously. Then there are the Japanese daylight fire works. consulting of human figures. mammoth globes. tigers. nsh, etc. which are fired from mortars A dealer gave this interesting account of these novelties:
 Tn Japan the natives use a mortar about four feet in height and q foot In width at the top and bottom, gradual ly expanding toward the center. The outside is intwined with strong rat tan, and in the interior of this rattan is placed a bowl of iron. We use nor tar in this country fashioned somewhat like a small hot water boiler. This one l secured from the Japanese at the St. Louis fair and keep 1t for exhibition purposes only. The figures themselves are released from the bomb high up in the air and are made so that the in- nation is helped by the concussion fhu hxfr Ir, h. boys follow these figures for miles un- til they fall to the ground. The Japa- nese daylight figures are sewed to- gether and are made of tough rice paper. In this country paste Is used. At the battle of Manila many of these rattan mortars were used. one of which. personally know. exploded and killed four Filipinos The war doesn't seem to affect these or other goods we get from Japan. as we have received as many this year ss ever. These people also manufacture what we would term parlor fireworks. which 1 are displayed in s darkened room
 But the small boys chief delight. the | arecracker. is seen In abundance. IL ranges in size from the baby cracker. the size of pin. to those fifteen inches long. Mandarin crackers in strings of 10000 gre also here. and if the recent crowds of purchasers are a criterion of what Is to come the Fourth of July of 1905 will be remembered as the noisiest since the day began to be eele- brated
