SUNDAY LAW IN RUSSIA
First Ever Enacted VIII Be rut
Into Effect Next Month. 4

ODESSA. Dec. 2S.-With the new
year, the new Sunday closing law
comes into force. Such regulation,
controlling business ON Sunday, has
long been desired.
The new ENACTMENT is more or less
of an absolute character, and leaves
scarcely lcophole for clandestine
transgressiOn or invasion. Severe
penalties are imposed in South Rus
STA, and principally where the bulk
of trade is in the hands of the Jews.
The new regulation will be posi-
tive boom to the stats of the mer-
camille houses and shop assistants.
Wherever Jews preponderate the
working week has heretofore consist
ed OF seven full working days In
this port the staple grain industry is
controlled by the Jews, and the ship
ping operations are in the hands o.
British ship brokers. The latter
might long ago have closed their
Offices on Sundays, releasing their
English stats, but for the cut-throat
competition always prevailing. The
new Sunday closing law does not af-
feet the theaters, whose Sunday
night representation are always tn :
best attended.

found himself in an instant eight feet
deep in the ice cold stream. Once and
twice his gasping face and clutching
| fingers broke up through the green water,
sweeping outward in the swirl of the
current. Alleyne had dropped his shat
tered sword and was standing, trembling
in every limb, with his rage all changed
in an instant to pity. For the third
time the drowning man came to the sur
face, his eyes turned in despair to the
shore. In an instant Alleyne, too, was
in the Garonne, striking out with power
full strokes for his late foeman.
/ Yet the current was swift and strong,
and, good swimmer as he was, 1t was no
easy task which Alleyne had set himself.
To clutch at Tranter and to seize him BY
the hair was the work of few seconds,
but to hold his head above water and to
make their way out of the current was
another matter. Then at last, amid a
shout Of Joy and praise from the bank.
they slowly drew clear into more stag
nant water, at the instant that rope,
made OF dozen swordbelts linked to-
gether BY the buckles, was thrown by
Ford into their hands. Three pulls from
eager arms, and the two c0mbatants,
dripping and pale, were dragged up the
bank, and lay painting upon the grass.
John Tanter was the FIRST to come to
himself. for. he had done nothing during
the fierce battle with the current. He
staggered to his feet and looked down up
on his rescuer, who had raised himself
upon his elbow. and was smiling family

Close to the bank Of the Garonne there
lay a little tract of green-sward. The
river ran deep and swift up to the steep
bank. Here the two combatants drew
their swords. In such c0mbats, as well
as in the formal sports Of the tilting-yard,
Tranter had won name for strength
and dexterity. On the other hand, Al
leyne had used his weapons in constant
exercise and practice for every day for
many months, and being by nature quick
Of eye and prompt Of hand, he might
pass now as no mean swordsman. An

there were few, and they the most

Iband, formerly United Ststes ambas-

blamed for his removal from the diplo-

Il Is claimed that Mrs. St0rer's ambi-

tried to bring pressure to bear on the
President for the advancement OF her
husband, but that her personal desire
to have another American cardinal be-
came Objectionable, She advocated
Archbishop ireland for the position,
and asked President Roosevelt to use
his influence In the archbishop's benaif

President Roosevelt wrote in reply
that he would like to see the arch
bishop Of st. Paul cardinal and
spoke very highly Of the archbishop's
public services and breadth Of view,
but he declared he could not become
involved in any matter OF church poll

Mrs. Storer, it Is averred, made use
of the expression Of the President
that he would like to see the arch
bishop made a cardinal, and caused 1t
to come to the attention Of high dignf-
taries in such way that it appeared
to be the wish Of the President that
the action should be taken.
President Roosevelt wrote to Vienna

his original note, in which he said he
would like to have Archbishop Ire

suit was that the connection Of Mr..
