st. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-THE fate of
the general strike, which, although it
has affected close to 10000 men in
st. Petersburg, has met with only
slight response in other sections of
Russia. The lack of unity among the
leaders of the proletariat organization
is playing against the success of the
movement.
The railroad men, upon whom the
success of the entire movement de-
ponds, are still working full time.

tions are hesitating about issuing a
call for tieup. They fear to be de-
serted and discredited by their mate

responsive to the avowed pretext OF
this strike, namely. sympathy with
the mutineers of Sveaborg, Cronstadt
and Reval, than they were to the SIM
liar reasons given for the abortive
strike of last November. The railroad
men have been inundated by the re-
cent law making strikes affecting
communications penal offense. The
law providing severe punishment was
enacted with direct reference to gen
eral strikes.
The council of workmen's deputies
which met secretly at Terioki, Fin
land, were so incensed at the timidity
displayed by the railroad men that
they decided to resort, if necessary
to the blowing up of the railroads.

sUpERsTITIOUs THIRTEEN.

There is a superstition with a
great, many, not alone with the
illiterate but with the educated as
well, that thirteen is an unlucky
number a number or position, in
the calendar of things and events
that must be avoided. The prev
alence of this superstition is not
! so noticeable until close observa-
ton and inquiries reveal it. At
any rate many hotel keepers will
tell you that, not only a few, but
many, indulge in some vague
ideas and misgivings concerning
the number thirteen. The fact
| is, that in many of the leading
hotels there is no room bearing
this number. The numbers run
to suit the callers, and they can
always please by leaving out
thirteen. 1t is not uncommon to
hear some one in a jocular way,
yet in reality, say he would not
do so and so on the thirteenth
day. In other words many will
not assume new obligations, be-
gin a new enterprise or enter in
to new business relations or un-
dertakings on the thirteenth day
Of the month. Our attention
was called to this superstition on
one occasion which indicated
that it is more than a trihing
sentiment with many. It was
about this way: A gentleman
bought a ticket for berth in a
Pullman sleeper and after enter
ing the car he found his number
thirteen. He Immediately ap-
piled to the conductor for a
change, stating that he was SUI
perstitious, and could not sleep
in number thirteen, and as the
car was not filled, his request
was granted. The gentleman
who made the request, is man
of strong mind, well educated in
books and the ways of the world,
and a lawyer of prominence.
Just why so many, or even any
one, should attach more import
ance to one day than another, or
why they should have fears and
evil forebodings concerning the
number thirteen, we have never
understood. The fact is, that
there is nothing to justify such
views, and in the language of
DIR. J. N. Page. our druggist,
whose pharmaceutical reputation
brought a gift from King Ed
ward, last Winter, it is snonsen-
sical foolishness, " and like the
horse shoe, the owner of good
luck will doubtless grow less as
time moves on. In our judg-
ment, thirteen is all right, and
instead Of being shrouded mi

Since the above subscriber asks
some pointed questions and since
there are soIss many complaints
made against the law we deem
it justice to make the i following
statement: THE law evidently

lucky is a state we'll adapted for
raising sheep and ought to stand
well up with the leading states
In this line of stock, but unfort-
unately the large number of dogs
have discouraged their produc-
ton. We believe that every fam
lily should have the privilege of
keeping oness dog without tax,
some believe that a tax should be
imposed on every one. Those
who passed the law believed it
best to reduce the dogs and in
crease the sheep. In our judg-
ment itissnot right to question
the sincerity and good intentions
Of our law makers who voted for
the tax. If it is a mistake it can,
and doubtless will be corrected;
if it is wise and just it will prove
itself in due time, Gov. Beck

THE DOG LAW.
GLENsFoRK, KY.

Mr.. EDITOR
Some of your readers as well
as myself wish to denounce the
injustice of that dog law passed
by the last Legislature.
We understand we have to
pay a dollar on every dog to raise
a sheep fund. There are about
1000 dogs in Adair county, so
that means $4,000 dog tax. If
all the sheep in the county were
sold at fair price, the total
would not reach as much as the
amount of dog tax.
1. Then where is the justice in
taxing the poor mans dog to pay
for the rich mans sheep?
z. Did Governor Beckham sign
or approve the Dog Law?
3. Does the Dog Law include
little fee?
We know poor old widow,
who lives alone, and little one
eyed fee as her only company.
She hasssno dollar to pay tax, and
is greatlyRworried over having to
kill her little dog. 1t would run
from a sheep if it were to see
one. Your Reader and. Subscri-
Der.
