No Clashes With Troops on the
Streets Over Two Hundred Thou

St. Petersburg, May 14-vice Ad-

st. Petersburg, May 14.-Vice Ad-
miral Kuzmich, commander of the
port, who was very unpopular with
the workmen, was assassinated mere
today by the workmen whose May
Day demonstration he had attempted
to stop. The Admiral was killed at
the new Admiralty Works, govern
ment institution, where most of the
1000 men employed there reported
for duty at five o'clock this morning.
They wanted to march out in body
to celebrate the Russian May Day,
but finally agreed to work until two
o'clock. The Admiral, however, said
that ne could not agree to their leav-
ing at two, and the matter was left
open About $50 as the Admiral was
emerging from one of the shops a
man jumped from the corner of the
building and drove a long dagger in
to his back. The Admiral immediate
ly fell dead. The assassin mixed with
other workmen and could not be
found The police believe that the
assassination had been planned in
advance.
The workmen of ST. Petersburg to-
day made an imposing showing in
their May Day celebration. Practical
ly every factory. mill and shop in
the city was idle Over 100000 men
joined in the demonstration. Early
reports from the interior showed that
| work generally was suspended.
While the leaders professed the in
tention to avoid collisions the radi-
| cal element which is boycotting the
parliament determined to celebrate
the day with manifestations. The
| gravest fears were entertained that
the day would not pass without
| bloodshed.

A MILLION POUNDS
Did Much Damage by Breaking Glass
in Nearby Town, and Jar Was Felt
in Many Cities Throughout the
State of Connecticut

Bridgeport, Conn, May 14-Four
powder magazines in the testing
grounds of the Union Metallic Car
fridge Company in the East Side ex-
ploded early this morning, the con-
cussion shaking the city and causing
general alarm among many persons
who thought it an earthquake. Win
dows were shattered, and in many
houses and crockery fell, but no Sc
rious damage is reported. So far as
plosion. The four magazines which
exploded contained 250,0OO pounds
each. None of the other buildings of
the Cartridge Company were damag-
ed, and four adjacent magazines were
unharmed. The cause of the explo-
sion is unknown.
LATER The full force of the
explosion was felt in the city proper,
and APPARENTLY there is not a whole
pane of plate glass left in the busi-
ness buildings AS for private houses,
The damage seems confined mostly
to broken glass, and the Union Metal
lie Cartridge Company has given no
tice that property owners will be
compensated for damage of this ma
ture. Immediately after the explosion
the people of Bridgeport seemed GER
tain that an earthquake had visited
them, and the scenes on the streets
were quite exciting. Hundreds of res
idents rushed out on the streets in

pie soon quieted when they learned

weapons in subduing the sedition of
zulus as the British guns. judging
from the display given last night by
Native Commissioner Saunders be-
fore a huge gathering of Zulus at the
headquarters of the unitive forces.
The natives were awestruck and re-
garded the searchlight as Ale eye of

turned it upon them in anger. The
flashing of the lights on the surround

erfully impressed the Zulus, who as
the light was suddenly flashed into

There were tables without drawers which
our grsat-grmdmothers affected, HIKE that
kind kmown a. the pembroke, % the erst
M was made for a lady bearing that name.
These tables have generally an oval top,
the twoends Of which when raised In place
are supported by little brackets which come
out from the side. When these brackets
are very long and prominent the table 10
called a butterfly table.
The great English makers were followed
as well o might be by American makers,
and as pattern books were on sale here at
q very early date they had no reason for
not doing good work. They do not seem,
however. to have INDUCED largely in those
articles which had such q vogue In Eng
land, INC which, although called toilet
tables, served for a soore OF uses.
In some Of those made by Chippendale
all the toilet articles were concealed, and
there were also places for writing materials,
pins, trinkets and papers. All these were
hidden out OF sight when the table was
closed, at which time il could be used as
q GARD or book table.
There are not many Of these old tables
TO b found here, but they are being repro
duced in large numbers and held at hi gh
prices. Such a copy made from the pattern
given in ~Chippendale's own book contained
all the secret drawers and receptacles for
deeds which the original had. They had.
however, forgotten to stain the vood which
made the backs OF the drawers, which
was fatal, for every wise collector will pull
out a drawer and examine the back for this
very purpose. The old wood has become
Q deep yellow and Is often spotted from
age, while The color OF the new is always
pale and fresh.
After the nineteenth century opened all
the tables, little and big. took on an Empire
cast. The feet were carved In claws or were
tipped with brass claws. The handy leg OF
the previous century was no longer so promi-
nent, and slender ~spindling legs, either
turned or carved, became the vogue.
Another style was the central pillar with
four legs spreading out near the floor or
coming from a sh elf and turning outward.
Some Of these had the top to fold over so
that when not in use the table could be put
out Of the way near the wall.
The edges OF these tables had differences.
There was the futed edge called pie crust,
which dated from about 1890. Then there
was the edge which stood up 80 that the tea
~equipage was not so likely to fall of. There
were beaded edges. and there was just the
plain edge, rounded.
In all of these little tables that are real
antiques you should be able TO find the mark
Of the carving tool around the edge m
where. In the good old pie crust tables it il
very evident. In all the real antiques there
is that slight deviation from absolute acou-
rscy which is characteristic OF hand work
and which gives old furniture half its charm.
You will never find it in modern machine
made work.
