RUSSIA FROM WITHIN
(The National Review.)

i THE National Review)
Russia is now passing through one
of those brief periods of relative re.
pose during which peoples in revo-
luton are wont to draw breath and
cast a hasty glance over the space
already traversed. The force of the
first fierce impetus is well nigh spent,
disappointment tinges hope, fatigue
slackens effort, wasteful delays and
irksome defeats damp revolutionary
fervor and the oscillating nation. half
contented with its first success, is
swinging back from anarchism toward
monarchy, order and law. In word,
it is one of those decisive moments
when the destinies Of people seem
to hang trembling 10 the balance, and
a slight touch would send either scale
definitely downward.
Among the Russian people the old
emotions, strivings, traditions are
not dead. but smoldering in the ashes
of consumed hopes and might yet be
converted into the motive power
Of constructive action. The conser-
vatism of the masses is still capable
of responding to the right kind of
voice, could it but make itself heard
But, on the other hand, in the breasts
of that same people, the human
breast, hitherto lulled by Christianity
or cowed by the Carbon, has been
awakened and unclaimed, and is ready
to work havoc in the Empire when
ever a strong man arises and gives
the word of command. But it still
looks, and probably is easier to. keep
in order than to revolutionize the
whole nation.

VALUE OF FINGERS
What the Various Countries Of Europe
Allow for Their Loss.
philadelphia Record.)

The different fingers are far from
having the same value in the eyes of
the law with reference to their func-
tional utilization, for without it pre-
hension would be very imperfect The
hand is no longer pincers, but merely
a claw, when deprived of the thumb.
Il may be estimated that the thumb
represents fully a third of the total
value of the hand. The French Court
allows Is to 35 per cent value for the
right hand and 10 TO Is per cent for
the left; the Austrian schedules gives
from Is per cent for the left to rs per
cent for the right; in Germany 20 and
% per cent, and even as high as 1873
per cent has been awarded. The per-
centage is based on 100 as the total
industrial value of the hand previous
ly to the accident, loss of so per cent
representing half of the value, etc.
The total loss of the index finger
causes an incapacity estimated at 10
to Is per cent in Austria, 16 to 20 per
cent in Germany, Is per cent for the
left and 20 per cent for the right by
the Italian courts; the French allow
Is per cent.
The middle finger is of much more
importance than the index, states DR..
Meiguan, whom we are citing, and
who is no small authority, for a great
loss of force is observed in the hand
when the finger is amputated. Yet al
most all the authorities ascribe less
importance to it than the index. The
Italian law allows S per cent, the Aus
trian to 10 per cent.
The ring finger is the least impor-
tant. Its total loss often does not
cause incapacity. The Austrian tariff
assimilates this finger to the middle
one. The Italian law is liberal, with
8 per cent. The French and German
tribunals often refuse indemnity, con-
sidering the incapac.ty resulting from
the loss as very slight.
The little finger may be. compared to
the ring, except in the profession in
which it serves as a point Of support
for the hand. 1t may be remarked
here that the artist has not been TAX
en- into consideration in these cases.

NEGROES MUCH
EXCITED
Over Production of the Play, 1.-THE
CIansman," at Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22.-Under
most unusual conditions "The Clans
man was presented here tonight at
the Walnut street Theater. The negro
clergy of the city bad made a formal
protest to Mayor Weaver against the
production, claiming that "lynchings
have been encourar ID by the play. >
The Mayor refused to take any &C.
ton.
About half hour before the theater
opened, Ninth and Walnut streets.
where the playhouse is located, were
packed with colored people. Director
of Public Safety Mckinney, who had
fastened to the scene, begged the
ministers to dispense the mob.
A riot call was sent in and patrol
wagons brought half hundred police
men to the theater.
The colored ministers surrounded
Director Mckinney and demanded
that he stop the play. The Director
delivered brief speech, asking the
crowd to dispense, and saying that
he would endeayor to have the pre-
sentation discontinued after tonight.
This seemed to have a soothing effect
and the crowd slowly dispersed.
Early in the evening a negro man
attempted to create disturbance in
the theater. He was arrested but the
policeman had considerable difficulty
in rescuing him from the crowd in the
gallery.

Brown or wood color or green is a pop

will never regret it.
The Modern Bathroom Fittings.
The bath room has become quite as
important as the kitchen in the modern
home and seems in fair way to re-
Quire almost as many different articles
for its complete equipment. Most of
the articles in the assortments of bath
room fittings and fixtures found in
the shops are of nickle and if one
thought it a necessity to provide one
of each kind the furnishings of the
bath room would be an expensive item.
There are large round rods fixed to the
wall of nickle, or of glass or porcelain
with nickle mountings on which towels
are hung. There are nickle soap
dishes with hook made to fit over
the edge of porcelain bathtub and
fancy ones for the washstand, Just
large enough for cake of Pears
soap, always the favorite of the wo-
man who desires a fresh and beauti-
full complexion. There are sponge
holders, tumbler holders single and
double, tooth brush racks on which to
hang from one to four brushes, tri-
plicate mirrors, match box holders,
brush and comb trays and powder
boxes all of nickle, which added to the
porcelain tub and marble washstand

FOR MODEL POST OFFICE HERE.
Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock
Returns From Europe With Some Ideas.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Frank H. Hitch
cock, First Assistant Postmaster-G General.
to-day returned to Washington after a
month s trip TO Europe.
Il vent abroad for the sea voyage more
than anything else, he said. In the weeks
wait between steamers j went to London
and Paris, and spent most OF my time while
in those cities looking into postal affairs.
I got some IDEAS in Paris and London, but
l have not had time to digest them"
IL is the aim OF Postmaster-G General
Cortelyou and First Assistant Postmaster
General Hitchcock to make the post Office
at New York the model OF the country.
They believe that new methods should be
tried out in Manhattan. as the territory
supplied with mail from the Office in charge
Of Postmaster Wilcox presents more prob
lens in delivery and collection than are de-
Veloped in any other city in the United
States. To many visitors, as well as natives,
New York is the whole show, and for that
reason, as well as others, the present ad-
ministration seeks to develop the New
York postal system To the highest state Of
efficiency.
With the completion OF the station at the
Pennsylvania terminal a few years hence
and other improvements in contemplation
the Postmaster-General and his first as
sistant believe that a good start will have
been made in the direction Of making the
Post Office at New York the best from every
standpoint in the country: 1t is understood
that First Assistant Hitchcock returned to
Washington with some European ideas that
will soon be made the subject ofexperiment
in New York.
To-day First Assistant Hitchcock issued
an order authorizing the postmasters at
Va, and st. Louis to discontinue, as an ex-
pertinent. the Use OF the back stamp or letter
mail. This was done at New York, Chicago
and Boston several days ago.

BERLIN, Sept. 2A.-Tbe annual congress
Of the Social Democratic party, which
opened at Mannheim yesterday, has been
chiefly remarkable for a statement made
by a delegate Of the Russian National Tor
rorists regarding the CONSEQUENCES OF
martial law In Warsaw and the general
aims Of his party.
He declared that since martial law had
gone into effect the urban population had
organized, the man OF the working classes
being thoroughly armed. While tho police
force was being purged by the terrorists
OF It's most pernioious members q begin
ming was being made in organizing the
soldiery, with the result tina already whole
regiments favor the revolutionary pro-
paganda.
The chief aim OF the party, the Russian
delegate said, wac to convert Russia into
a confederation Of autonomous States,
such as is aimed at by the Socialists Of
Austria.
The executive committees report for
the year showed favorable progress. The
Vorwderts, with a daily circulation Of 10000.
produces an annual profit Of $40. 500. Other
publications yield $50 900. These funds are
all devoted to spreading the propaganda.
Tht total income for the year was $500 900,
OF which $50, 500 was paid to members dis
missed from their employment or otherwise
penalized for their opinions. The COM
mittee in the past year collected s45 900 on
behalf Of the revolutionary movement In
Russia.
Sentences at hard labor and imprison-
ments a~ggregating seventy years were
passed upon various Socialists In Germany
in the year. The Socialist vote in the by
elections increased in eight constituencies

THRIFTY MRS. LOVETT.
VIII Of Centenarian VINO Helped Husband
at Forge when She wa Seventy.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Sept. 24.-One Of
the most remarks able wills ever filed in
Westcheeter county was offered for pro-
bate to-day in the ~Surrogate's Court. II
was drawn by Mrs. Lavinia Lovett, late of
T~arrytown, after she had passed the age
Of 102.
Mrs. Lovett's husband was the village
black smith Of Tarrytown, and at the age
OF 20 it il said that she used 10 help him
swing the hammer at the forge. She was 30
careful about her liv ing expenses that il
is said she used 10 buy a mackerel and
split it in two and make it last her a week
She also counted the Goals she put on her
fire.
Only n week before her death she called
up her lawyer 20 make sure that all of the
interest had been paid TO him on her mort
cages. Mrs. Lovett leaves 500 TO each OF
five grandchildren and the remainder OF
her estate goes to her eight sons and daugh-
ters. The lawyers say that she made the
500 allowance TO the grandchildren be-
cause they had always been good TO their
parents.
There probably will be no contest ovet
the will, although one or two grandchildren
were cut of without a cent because she be-
lieved they were not capable OF hanoling
money.
