EXTREME EXCITEMENT.
Rumor That Ukase Dissoiving Rus
sian Parliament is Ready.

St. Petersburg, July 20.-Extreme
excitement pervades all classes ow-
ing to fear that the action of the
lower house of parliament in adopt
ing at two O'Clock this morning an
address to the people may be the sig
nal for a coup d. etat against the
parliament. The rumor is published
that an imperial ukase ordering the
dissolution of parliament mas alrea-
dy been signed. The feeling of gen.
eral alarm is increased by the fact
that all night long the guard regi-
city from the camp at Krasnoyded-
Selo. The question now is how the
change in the form of the address as
finally adopted will affect the situa-
ton. Undoubtedly the Social Demo
Gratis endeavored to amend the ad
dress so as to avoid the appearance
that parliament is entering upon a
revolution.
At the house of parliament today
pessimistic feeling was prevalent, but
the leaders generally did not believe
the government would dare attempt
dissolution of the parliament. At the
opening of the session of the lower
house the question of the publication
of the address to the country which
President Moroumtseff last night de-
the lack of a quorum, was allowed to
go over until Monday.
The house adopted resolution on
the Bialystock massacre demanding
prosecution of the military and po-
lice officials involved, irrespective of
rank The resolution concludes with
an expression of distrust of the min
istry and a demand for it's resigna-
ton. The government is held respon-
sible by resolution for the secret
propaganda melting class against
class.

Lincoln as a Lawyer.

A leader of the Lincoln party told
the other day in Philadelphia a story
OF the astuteness OF Lincoln as a
lawyer.
When Lincoln was practising law"
he said, "he had a case involving a
disputed will. The opposition claimed
the will was genuine and for several
hours adduced proof Of this. For
Lincoln, who had to prove the will a
forgery, things looked black.
Lincoln, however, only called one
witness, a retired paper manufactur.
er, renowned the country over for
his wealth and probity.
Mr.. Dash Lincoln said to this
witness, handing him the disputed
Will, please hold that paper up to
the light and tell us what is the water
mark on It.
The water mark of my own firm.
Blank & Co., the witness answered
when did your firm begin to
manufacture paper?
"Tn 1S41.
And what's. the date OF the docu
ment In your hands?
August II. 1886.
That is enough. Gentlemen OF
the jury our case is closed.'"

WEAR EXPLOSIVE GOWNS.
Woman Gowned in Imitation Silk
That Has Gun Cotton for
Basis.

Science, which lately furnished a
mechanical substitute for the horse,
has now set about putting the lowly
silkworm out Of business" writes Clar-
ence Hutton. in the Technical World
Magazine.
Almost unknown in the United
States, the manufacture of artificial
silk has been on commercial basis in
France for several years, the daily pro-
duction being now about seven tons.
In forming a chemical compound
corresponding to the yiscous fluid out
of which the silkworm spins his deli
cate thread, the French chemists found,
strangely enough, that the best sub
stitute was a solution of gun cotton,
which also serves as the basis for the
most powerful and deadly of modern
explosives. To what extent this gun
cotton silk Is relieved of its explosive
qualities before being woven into laces
what questionable. Certainly young
woman gowned in gun cotton and
wearing dainty nitroglycerin wrap
about her white shoulders, would be a
most formidable not to say dangerous
object. II the new fabric ever becomes
popular in this country 1t will plainly
be necessary to warn young men not to
approach its wearers with lighted
cigarettes or other combustibles in
their hands. And sparkling will be-
come most hazardous occupation.

How to Meet a Burglar

Highwaymen are around again and

way is to hold out hand to the thug

Glad to see you! Put 1t there!" This
perplexes him and its sous to francs

by the way, have you got a ciga-

NATION IS IN NEED
OF MORE RELIGION
President Roosevelt makes an address
at Oyster Bay en- the Necessity Of
Religion and Clean Living.

Oyster Bay.-In an address at the
bi-centenary celebration Of the Chris
Episcopal church here on Saturday
President Roosevelt talked Of the ne
cessity Of religion and clean living fol
the welfare OF the nation.
Il cannot understand any American
citizen" he said, who has the faintest
feeling Of patriotism and devotion to
his country, falling to appreciate the
absolute essential need Of religion in
its broadcast sense, to the welfare OF
this country
IF 1t were not for the fact that In
our villages and towns as they have
grown up, the churches have grown
up in them, and in the churches men
whose work is not for the things OF
the body, but for the welfare of the
soul. II would not be the nation that
It is. because the nation would not be
a fit abode for civilized man"
He said that our material founda-
ton of wealth was but a base for the
spiritual growth OF the nation, ana
while the material ought not to be
disregarded its real object ought not
to be lost sight Of The mission of
the church was not to work in the In
terests of one sect, but for humanity
as a whole.
II wish to emphasize the vital i'm
portance to this nation Of our people
being taught to realize that Christian
ity manifests itself in the conduct Of
its most humble professor"
Here the president read several
verses from the Bible to point out that
not the hearers. but the doors Of the
word, were the true followers Of
Christ.
On the subject of riches the presi.
dent said:
There is nothing I abhor more
than the telling of an untruth, wheth
er unconventional untruth or not, and
I would on no occasion be understood
as affecting to deprecate material well
being. To tell men to disregard riches
entirely is to preach to them a doc.
trine which It Is impossible for them
to live up to, but which the preacher
knows perfectly well they will not
try to live up to. But put riches below
the things of the soul. Give to the
body what the body is entitled to. The
multl-milllonaire is not harm, but 8
good to the community II he appreci
ates that he is only trustee for the
cause of goodness"
The president emphasized the ne
cessity OF every man being thorough
ly self-supporting as a basis for spir
itual life. He concluded that the sen
tlment of the only life really worth
living was one that made others bet
ter because It had been lived.

TERRIBLE scALY ECZEMA.
EruPtlons Appeared on Chest, and
Face and Neck Were All Broken
out-cured by cuticura.

Il had an eruption appear on my
chest and body and extend upwards
and downwards, SO that my neck and
face were all broken out; also my
arms and the lower limbs as far as
the knees. l at first thought it was
prickly heat. But soon scales or
crusts formed where the breaking out
was. Instead of going to a physician I
purchased complete treatment of the
Cuticura Remedies, in which | had
great faith, and all was satisfactory.
A year or two later the eruption ap-
peared again, only little lower; but
before 1t had time to spread l pro-
cured another supply of the Cuticura
Remedies, and continued their use I'M
til the cure was complete. 1t is now
five years since the last attack, and
have not seen any signs of return.
l have more faith in Cuticura Rene
dies for skin diseases than anything
know of. Emma E. Wilson, Lis

rhree Great conversatlonaIIsts.

The three greatest conversational
lists with whom it has been my good
fortune to come into touch were MAJ
zini, DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes and
Bismark.
OF these, Dr. Holmes was the most
spirited in the bel esprit sense;
Bismarck the most imposing and at
the same time the most entertaining
in point OF wit, sarcasm, anecdote and
narrative of historical interest,
brought out with rushing vivacity and
with lightning-like illumination Of
conditions, facts and men.
In Mazzini words there breathed
such a warmth and depth of convic-
ton, such enthusiasm Of faith in the
sacredness of the principles pro
fessed and of the aims pursued by
him, that it was difficult to resist such
a power of fascination-Carl Schurz,

We are wont to speak Of this era
as the "age of iron," and there is no
gainsaying that, industrially speaking,
iron is q precious metal"
Nevertheless. few people realize
how useful. II not absolutely neces.
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal. lead Soft, yielding
pnable. It is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail,
ties are what give 1t such prominent
place in the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing. requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight Joints. would be almost impos.
sible without lead pipe. The great.
est civillzing agent in the world-the

on lead. Hand-set type, linotype

well as all other kinds of machinery

form opens up.
Then there is the most important

our houses looking pretty - inside

course, there are many limitations of
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are "just as good" as
white lead But all good paint is
made OF the metal. lead, corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and

White lead is also used in the coat.

purposes besides paint.
Red Lead is another product OF
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide OF lead, being produced by
burning the metal Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products Of
the metal lead, such as litharge,
orange mineral, etc, which are es.
sential to many of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age of lead
as well as of iron.

INDIANS GIG BIG FISH.
spurn the Use Of Rod and Reel, Bu'
Land Some Great Bass and
Catfish.

The mountain streams Of Indian
territory, which abound in game fish.
principally black bass, have been as
clear as crystal Of late, and the Indians
have been having great sport gigging
them.
In mountain stream In the terri
tory when the water is clear the bot
tom can be seen through six feet of
water, and this makes gigging a great
sport for the Indians They are ex-
perts with the canoe and the gig, and
spurn the finest fishing tackle in the
way OF rod and reel, as It is too slow
sport for them.
It is interesting to watch a couple Of
Indians gig fish. With the long, slen-
der reed, tipped and barbed with steel.
one Indian leans over the PROV Of the
canoe while the other with his paddle
gently and noiselessly lets the canoe
slide up to the big rocks and around
logs In deep water, where the bass and
catfish lie. The Indian carries his gig
uplifted and ready to strike at any
time.
With his face not six inches above
the water. his keen eyes scan the bot
tom, and he will locate bass or cat
hsh lying partly under a rock or log
that would never be seen by the aver
age fisherman. The stroke of the dex-
ferrous arm is like lightning, and in a
dash the fish is speared through and
lifted In the boat.
There is nc struggling to land him,
NO excitement Of winding in the lina.
for the Indian hunts for game, and not
for sport
An Indian seldom misses his fish
when he throws the gig. And his mo-
ton is so perfect and his balance SO
even that there is scarcely a tremor in
the boat, while the amateur is more
likely to not only miss his fish two
feet, but stand on his head in the wa
ter besides.
