 "When l heard the explosion and breaking glass (more than hundred window pnnes around us were snat- tercu) I felt something warm on my hand and saw that It was blood. FIX periencing the same warm feeling on my spine. I realized that there, too, something was wrong, but l did not feel the slightest pam.
 .I fell and could not get up. but was netfectly conscious of what was going on They put me in carriage and took me to hospital. On the way I tied up my wounded hand to stop the blood which was flowing very freely. How much blood lost cannot say. only know that in the room where waited for the doctor the floor around me was literally red.
 More Than Forty Wounds In All.
 "The largest wound was caused by the end of the bomb on my right foot, but l had altogether more than forty small wounds. All my clothes had been torn. They were taken from me very carefully. and sat there in my underclothes feeling the blood running all over my body. It was the strangest experience when they undressed me. l became aware of q big piece of hesn torn from my leg lying on the hoor' yet I did not feel any pain. But when the doctor began to probe my wounus and to extract splinters l ached all over. For time after that l was Ill a high fever, but it did not last long. The splinters. however. continued to come from my wounds for more than six months, and of course it was not very pleasant. But afterward ! sot along very nicely"

GAS a general proposition the mayor
of city should be, and is, quite as able
to construe and comprehend his oath
of Office correctly as is the governor,
and should be equally as willing to dis
charge the obligation assumed AS for
Governor Pattison, his views in the
premises are we'll known. His declara-
tons on the subject of obedience to and
enforcement of law, during the cam
paign, were the simple expressions of
lifetime. The governor is certainly
justified in interpreting the result of
the poll of Ohio as an emphatic en-
dorsement of his views.
Definition of Policy
Gin his inaugural address he reiter-
ated them, and every official is referred
to that document for an exact and spe-
cifc definition of his policy Further
more, the defeat of the Adler bill by
vote of SO to in the House of Repre-
sentatives today, which measure sought
to interfere with the American Sabbath
and existing Sunday laws, may be con-
sidered an accurate reflection of public
sentiment on the subject and an in
dorsement of the governors attitude.
1t is unnecessary to add that Governor

clearly indicates that he possesses the
courage of his convictions. The people
of Ohio are now more interested in his
speedy restoration to health than in
what he will do when he actively as
sumes the duties of his office. They
know he will discharge them"
The newspapers of the state all in
terpret this-and correctly-as mean
put The Ohio State Journal sums up
it's general view of the effect of this
announcement by the following state
ment:
Governor John M. Pattison will not
permit Sunday baseball playing. He
has been urged to view the question of
the enforcement of Sunday laws as one
to be left to the discretion of local
authorities. He has been asked to rel
egate the kind and degree of Sunday
observance in the cities and villages to
mayors. He has been unable to per-
suade himself that either he or they
have a right to connive at non-enforce-
ment of law, and if they do, he will
not.
'He trusts mayors will be alert and
not lax. He expects them to execute
the Sunday laws, and not some of them
but all of them, including the ancient
statute forbidding baseball and like
Sunday amusements. II his expecta-
ton is not realized he will feel COM
PEELED to interfere and, as the chief
executive, to force the minor executives
to obey their oaths of office and make
their citizens obey the laws.
Governor Pattison will not make
distinctions in laws. All are to be en-
forced, and all shall be enforced,
at the price of the head of every rec
reant mayor in Ohio. If the official de-
capitations are not efficaciOus, he is
aware that he has at command 5000
National Guardsmen."
The Cincinnati Enquirer significantly
remarks, regarding the action OF the
Legislature during the day, in re-enact-
ing the Roberts bill with some modifi-
cations exempting private families from
it's operation, by a vote of 80 to 20:
'sThe general results of the day indi-
Gated that the administration, as rep
resented by the executive and the legis-
lative departments, intends to carry
out what it believes to be the wishes OF
the voters of the state, as expressed
at the last election. The friends of Sun
day baseball were feeling much dis
couraged tonight over the outlook"
This is the bill, it will be remem-
bered, which prohibits dances in con-
nection with places where liquor is
sold.
We Judge that this will be sufficient
for Ohio mayors upon the governor S
position, and that they will gracefully
yield to the pressure of public opinion
and the will of the chief executive of
the state-American Issue.

The Governor on the Sunday
Laws
The State Administration Clearly Out
Into the Open Upon This Subject
and Mayors Will Doubtless
Take Heed

A week or so since, the ministers of
Columbus called upon Mayor Badger,
urging enforcement of the Sunday laws
against saloons and other prohibited
things. The chief of police issued
drastic order which evidently sought to
make the law unpopular by covering
more than it's real intent. This was
afterwards practically rescinded. AS
the result of further pressure upon
Mayor Badger, he went to interview
Secretary Houck, to find the governors
intentions. Upon putting his question
to Mr.. Houck regarding the administra-
tive position, he received the following
response:

was done so that the victims would

desired TO get drunk had to retire to a

find no other way of settling their diff

hired slugger did more damage than

ing is similar to the old Spanish Gus
tom of arresting the occupants of a cab

Of the same child cannot marry be-

The Russians have such a devout be-
lief in the virtue of the rites and cere-
monies of their religion that they will
not tolerate even the slightest depart
ure from traditional usage. Any alter

ly sin. Once a great cOmmotion was

An archbishop declared with emphasis

Casting the Great Bells.
Casting the great bells of Russia has
always been a public function as well
as a church ceremonial. On these occa-
siOns the archbishop enters the cav
ity where the metal is to be poured and
dedicates it by sprinkling it with holy
water. He blesses the metal to be used,
and gives his benedictiOn TO the master
of the foundry. as well as others con-
nected with the work. All who par
ticipate are required to kiss the cross.
When the casting is finished prayer of
thanks is given for the successful COM
pletiOn of the task. A part of the per-
Torrance is the privilege afforded
wealthy citizens to attend and throw
gold and silver trinkets i'm the casting
box. Moscow claims the distinction of
having the largest bell in the world,
monster weighing 1S5 tons.
The Russian masses have many SUI
perstitiOns. If one goes for a walk
and meets a priest it indicates bad
luck. Another bad sign is to have a
hare cross ones path, but if a funeral
is encountered it is considered a good
sign. To forget anything and go back
for il is so unlucky that to do so is
almost like inviting disaster. Three
candles together are considered I'M
lucky. because the number stands for
the Trinity and are always placed in
front of corpse. The prejudice against
this combination is so widespread that

The theatre plays an important part
in the social life of ST. Petersburg. In
all the play houses there are large.
splendidly furnished fOyers where the
people spend a great deal of time laugh
ing, smoking and visiting. All per-
formances are broken by intermissions
of five or ten minutes. There are no
private boxes. When you buy a box
seat any stranger may buy ticket and
come into The same apartment. The
national dance of the Russians is a re-
futation of the claim that they are a
slow people. for it is almost as fast as
the whirlWind gyrations of the bowling
