Sokoloff, TIE railroad engineer of Sa-

threatened the country with a great
railroad strike, independently organ
lied the strike on the Trans-C Caspian
line from AleXandrovsll to Tashkend.
The governor general of Kurshka. who
exercises plenary power on the Afghan
frontier, without consulting the st.
Petersburg authorities convened the
court martial and sentenced Sokoloff
to death. The premier. as a result of
the action of the executive committee
of the railroad employees union In pre-

sentence was reversed before midnight
December 5, was compelled to get M.
Nemrehaieff Chc minister of commune

the man been shot nothing would have
prevented a universal strike. This

was set to the floor, gamely rising each

A GOOD BETT|NG F|GHT
THING" NELSON AND YOUNG
coRBETT.
This Is Corbett's Last Chance to Be
Considered in the List Of
Top Notchers.

The coming battle between Nelson
and Corbett should be one of the
best betting propositions that has been
put on the boards in many a day, says
tine sporting editor of the Times. The
men who wager the money on fights
are about evenly divided on the COM
ing mill. Those who have been loyal
supporters of Corbett have switched
and will place their coin on Nelson,
and some who won money on Nelson
in the last fight with Corbett this timt
will back Corbett on the proposition
that he will be in condition. There is
so much difference in Corbett in con-
dition and Corbett out of condition that
the man who wagered counterfeit
on the battle without knowing
positively the, form of the Denver boy
would have floating stuff over his
think tank. There is no question
about the victory which Nelson won
over Corbett last time, and on form
it looks as though Britt would be an
easier mark for the Denver boy than
Nelson.

A Disciple of Jul Jitsu.

AS a result of an attempt to sub
jugate an unruly COW by means OF
the jiu jitsu style of wrestling, Silar
Humphreys, Goshen, N. Y, farmef
is laid up with three broken ribs. Mr..
Humphreys recently completed a COR
respondence course in the Japanese art
of self defense and was DESTROYS of
trying his skill None of his neigh
bors could be induced to let him prac-
tice on them and he determined to
take a fall out of the COW, which had
aroused his ire by kicking over a pail
of milk. Mr.. Humphreys tackled the
animal. and after she had solemnly
gazed at him for minute or two, as
he struggled to throw ner, she kicked
him in the ribs. and he gave up the job.
He now claims that the japanese art
is overrated and ne will have no more
to do with it.

Corks and Screws.

Il wish the corkscrew would disap-

Nv business would then increase ire

msides out of lot Of corks that had

These rings that I have left" he

stopped beer bottles. Corkscrewed
cords are called screws in the trade,
and fetch very little. They have to
be cored, you see, and the rings that
are left don't amount to much.
"Iynscrewed. unmutilated corks, with
a little pairing, come out the same
as new again. Hence they bring a
good price. Those that fetch the best
price are the corks Of fine quality
that come from fine wine bottles.
In some fashionable cafes you will
often notice that the walters extract

mendation into effect. The inquiry
will go back as far as 1887.
A general impression prevails that
divorce has come to be one of the
tics bearing on that question.
Under an old law, the department of
labor gathered statistics on marriage
and divorce for the twenty years be-
tween 1866 and 1886. but nothing has
been done in that direction since. Re-
Gently a strong petition praying that
statistics be gathered from 1886 to the
present time was presented to con-
gress by former Mayor Seth Low, Rev.
DR.. Morgan Dix, President Nicholas
Murray Butler, and other prominent
citizens of New York. 1t is probable
was bassed upon that petition. The
petitioners point out that many
changes in the marriage and divore
laws have been made since 1887, in
many instances in the direction of a
greater laxity, and that commissions
on uniform legislation have accam-
plished important results in about
thirty states. Other efforts at uni
formity are under way, and a wide in
terest is taken in this question
through the policy adopted in near
ly all of the higher grade institutions
been put into operation since the last
compilation of statistics.
Director North of the census bureau
says the entire male clerical force of
his office will be available for field
work Immediately after the completion
of the manufacturing census of 1905.
This clerical force has received a
training which insures the highest de-
gree of efficiency and expedition, and
it will carry the compilation forward
to completion in a short time.
1t is the plan of Director North, in
the presidents request, to place a
special agent of the census bureau in
every county in the United States.
Colonel Wright, commissioner of labor,
made an attempt to collect divorce
statistics by mail. but was obliged
to abandon it. as many clerks of court
demanded exorbitant fees for making
a transcript of the records, ana IN
other counties declined to furnish the
information at any price.

long before he knew that he was going
to get it, and the story from FRS
co shows that he must be pretty strong
as after a hard days work on the road
he came in for gymnasium work and
then went six furious rounds with
Cans and Rafael, his sparring partners,
taking them on in alternate rounds,
and making botn extend themselves
to the limit to keep in the game. A
story of that kind may have come
from the press agent, but if it is on
the level Corbett stands a chance of
winning in spite of the confidence ex-
hibited by Nelson, who declares that
he will beat Corbett inside of ten
rounds and could beat him every time
they met if they got together twen-
ty times.
Nelson had such an easy fight the
last time that he can be excused for
making such talk. but he did not
catch Corbett in condition. It is al
ways easy to beat a defeated man. but
none of these fellows have put the
Denver lad to sleep yet and even find
it impossible to sweep him off his feet.
Corbett knows that they cannot hurt
him and even if his punch is gone ne
should not be beaten before he enters
the ring. by lack of confidence.
