Progress Toward Religious Freedom
In Russia.

October 30, the anniversary of the
granting of a Constitution by the Gar,
passed without disorder in St. Peters
burg. but a noteworthy incident was the
issuance of a ukase~ fulfilling in part the
promise made on April 30, 1905, to give
all Russian subjects liberty of faith and
public worship. The ukase formally
recognizes the so-called "0ld Believers"
and other dissident sects Of the Orthodox
Church, by establishing regulations gov
erning their internal organization. The
ukase also that the Minister
OF the Interior has been directed to
formulate similar regulations for the
dissidents from other Christian profess
sions. Nothing is said about the Jews,
but so far as the decree goes it proves
that NICHOLAS ii. is no longer influenced
in the slightest degree by Mr.. PoBIEDo-
N~osTsEFF, formerly Procurator of the
Holy Synod and the most fanatical cham
pion Of religious %unification in Russia.

niks," or dissidents from the Orthodox
Church, number from twelve to fifteen

sens, from conservatives, unwilling to
accept the changes in ritual and the re-
vision of the vernacular Scriptures made
by the Patriarch NIXON in the seven
teenth century, to avowed atheists and
free lovers. To appreciate the intense
conservatism Of the Old Believers, we
should have to imagine an English sect
insisting upon literal adherence to
WYcLIFFE's translation of the Bible,
including its errors. These particular
dissenters, who deem themselves moro
orthodox than the orthodox, were VIC
Tins Of violent persecution during the
reigns OF ALEXIS and Of PETER the Great,
and they have since been subjected TO
many disabilities; nevertheless, they
include many millions OF the Cars
subjects, and possess a large fraction Of
the national wealth. No element Of the
Russian community is more highly re-
spected in private life, nor is there any
that in time OF need would make greater
sacrifices for the sovereign. They should
strictly be described as schismatics
rather than heretics, for they repre- ient
a mental attitude Numerically opposed

Why the waiter Butts Ia.''

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-SfE The waiter
who will butt In" Is a nuisance. but I wonder II II
ever occurred to the patrons Of restaurants that the
Impudcnt walter Is I'm most cases acting under
orders. The walters as a rule resent the "butting
In" lust as much as does the customer. Your
correspondent seems to Imagine that the walter Is
nj red to tell you what 10 ca. That Imagination
Is a sad reality.
The waiter Is really hired to tell you what to eat.
Ia practically al. the New lOra restaurants. n the
waiter does NOT come up 10 a certain standard
he Is politely told his services are no longer re-
auIred. I'm sure there Is nobody who sympathizes
more than myself with the treatment accorded to
the frequenters OF restaurants. II people were
familiar with the conditions Of the walters calling,
I'm sure they would make their complaint In the
proper quarter.
Your correspondent suggested writing 10 hotel
keepers and stewards requesting them 10 instruct
their walters To speak only when they are spoken
TO. Unfortunately. such a course would only be
n waste Of time. as the hotel propTietors are di-
Tectly responsible for the existence Of the lmpu ID
dent walter. Believe me. the walter Is AS a rule
not exactly what he Is painted, hut In most cases he
Is a noble animal. ONE VINO KNOWS.

Russia in the eighteenth century and
gave rise to innumerable types Of nom
conformity.
From the viewpoint Of organiza-
ton, the Russian dissenting sects may
be classified primarily is the Pop
ovtsy," who have priests, and the
"Bezpopovtsy, who have one. Among
the former are comprehended about a
million Of the Old Believers, who have
consented to receive Orthodox priests
IN condition of being allowed to keep the
~unrevised Scriptures. In the class Of
Bezpopovtsy belong three large sects
and many minor ones They all concur
in recognizing no priests and in repudiat-
ing the Orthodox ritual and the sacra-
ments. They have hitherto avoided all
contact with the State, and have re-
fused to pray for the Car on the ground
that he is the Antichrist. The so-called
S~piritualists form a class by themselves,
which in turn is subdivided. There
arc, for example, the ~Dukhobors," or
Warriors Of the Spirit, who have done
much to ~colOnize Caucasia and Siberia:
a number Of them were brought not long
ago to the Canadian Northwest. There,
too, are the "Molokany,' who may be
compared with the Baptists; the SKA
kuny.' a kind of shakers; the "Skop-
tsy," or cdstrati, who may be met every
where in Russia, and who follow by
preference the profession of money
broker; and finally the @Khlysty,' who
have their love ~feasts, their virgins
and of whom some practise fagellation.
With the exception, indeed, of the Old
Believers, all Of the dissident sects hold
views more or less ~unorthodox and I'M
conventional regarding the question of
marriage and the status of women. A
few of the sects, during their love
~feasts,' encourage absolutely free rela-
tons between all brethren and sisters.
On the whole, however, the position Of
women among dissidents is relatively
high. We are told that the law embodied
in the ukase of October 80, having an
eve to the d~issenters last named, insti-
tutes a form of civil marriage intended
for the dissidents that have no clergy.

thousands of Russians who hitherto on
account OF their objection to a religious
rite have lived together irregularly, will
be able to assume a legal tie and to legit-
imatize their children.
OF course, religious freedom will never
be complete in Russia until Jews are
permitted to dwell and to enjoy full civil
in all parts of the country, instead
of being relegated to the so-called Pale
But if the reforms established by this
latest ukase be compared with the state
of things that existed two years ago, it
cannot be denied that a signal advance
has been made, and that some Of the

TW|TCHING NERVES
A Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
BY Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Sufferers from ailments that have af.
ficted in regular succession one genera.
ton after another of their family are, as
| a rule, inclined to submit to them as in.
| evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures, such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, of No. 408
East Seventh street, Newton, Kansas,
gives the following account of her all
ment and her cure:
"For two years suffered from trying
nervousness in my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before me.
The situation was for many years &C.
cepted as unavoidable because heredi-
tary. But about two years ago, when nv
son was realizing benefit from the use of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, I thought there
might possibly be some good in them for
me. My trouble had then become SO
serious as to make it difficult for me to
sleep. often had to walk the floor in
restlessness the whole night. After tax
ing some six boxes the twitching disap-
peared and ceased to use the remedy,
/ evidently stopped little too soon for
nervousness came back after month or
so and used the pills again for a short
time. Relief came at once and since 1
stopped using them the second time I
have been free from any return of the
twitchings or from any interference with
my sleep"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases of bloodlessness, indiges-
ton, influenza, headaches, lumbago, sci
atica, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal
weakness and the special ailments of girls
and women. For further information,
