st. Petersburg, Aug. 4-SundOwn
last evening saw the commencement
of the general strike ordered by the
workmen's council as grand protest
to the bureaucracy against the dis
missal Of the duma and the dictator
ial attitude Of the government.
While the most optomistic Of the
revolutionists have brave fears that
in their present unprepared condition
the workmen may either fail in the
strike or suffer terrible hardshiDs in
refraining from work, the initial hour
of the strike indicated that in scope,
the movement would equal the great
political tieup of two summers ago.
Every Tram Car Stopped.
Every tram car IN s. Petersburg
stopped in response to the strike or
der, and last evening the city had the
appearance of idleness which marked
the days of the first great strike. Null
titudes, accustomed to reach their
homes by street cars walked miles
with apparent willingness and every
where the suspension of work was
greeted with cheers as the fOrerun-
ner of the triumph of the people.
The steamboats, plying the Neva
between the capital and the sea and
the upper river boats were tied up at
the wharves, the engineers, firemen
and deck hands joining their brethren
ashore in the united protest to the

with the strong handed policy now
advocated by the Cars closest ad-
yisors, cause eXcesses on the part of
the loyalists. Everywhere the most
intense excitement is manifest and
the blackness of the city is not the
least factor in the perturbation of the
populace.
The strike of the railroad operatives
was scheduled to commence at mid
night, according to the order of the
council In anticipation Of disorders
at the terminals and stations, troops
were massed at those points during
the evening and all the stations in
the city were closely guarded.

Theology and goodness go together. Sound
practice is dependent on sound doctrine. Pure
living is the effect of pure believing Paul said
to Titus, " These things L will that tkou affirm
constantly, that they which have believed in
God might be careful to maintain good works.
The ''things" referred to were doctrines which
he had just enumerated: Mans sim his need,
Gods love, Christ's divinity, his sacrificial
death, the gift of the Holy Spirit, justification,
regeneration, faith, hope, eternal life These
were to be affirmed constantly, that believers
might be careful to maintain good works. The
word ''careful' means ''to give the mind to be-
ing foremost" To this end doctrine must be
asserted strongly, pertinacously. Paul was no
trimmer. He didn't consult the spirit of the
times, else he would never have changed that
spirit. There two ways of treating popular
tendencies consists in conforming to them:
the other in combating, if they are wrong. This
is the manly way; the other way is shabby and
pltlable. Among certain classes it is fashionable
to be not quite sure of anything. We need men
who will not shun to declare all the counsel of
God.

How the water goes around in a circle is
one of the marvels of nature! The mist rises
from the broad breast of the ocean and accumu-
lates into clouds. Then the winds carry the
clouds far over the lands. And over mountain
and plain, forest and field the rains pour down
to bless the earth. The rivulets join in streams
and fill the great rivers, which pour their water
into the seas, from which they came. The circle
is made complete, and on its way it makes the
world habitable globe.

Fell From Trestling.

A peculiar and serious accident was
that sustained yesterday morning by
J. A. Zerbe, engineer on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad running between Sun
bury and Wilkes Barre.
When his train came to a stop on
the track near Espy yesterday fore
noon, the engine happened to halt dir
ectly over a trestle bridge which
crosses the roadway which runs under
the track at this point. AS steam was
being exhausted from the engine on
both sides at the time, Engineer Zerbe
did not see the trestling, and supposing
solid ground was underneath, stepped
from his engine cab, and landed into
empty space. He fell over the edge of
the bridge, and landed on the highway
about twenty five feet below. He was
picked up unconscious, and taken on
the train to Nescopeck, where medical
aid was rendered by DR.. Myers.
The mans back and legs were pretty
severely injured and he was too much
battered up for the full extent of his
injuries to be as yet ascertained. 1t is
not known whether any bones are
broken. He was taken to his home in
Sunbury, and even if no fractures were
sustained, it will be some time before
the man will be in condition to re-
sumo his duties.

Convention at Washington.

The thirty eighth annual convention
of the Young Mems Christian Associ-
alton of Pennsylvania, will be held at
Washington, February 22-25. This
gathering will no doubt be one of the
most important of the year. Its mem
bers will consist of many of the most
experienced and up-to-date Christian
business men of the State.
The topics to be presented are to be
relative to problems in the actual daily
experience in Association work. Some
new phases rather out of the ordinary,
will be presented, thus assuring plenty
of interest on the part of the delegates.
The men to handle the different SUBJ
jects have been carefully chosen on the
basis of having peculiar fitness for
the task assigned In other words these
men will bring to the convention a
genuine message-not the echo of the
one hoped for. After each presenta-
tion, plenty Of time will be allowed
for popular discussion, at which time
the ''lid may be raised" provided the
regul speaker has failed to do so.
Departmental specialism will be treat
ed by experts in the Sectional confer
ences, arranged for one of the after
moons of the convention.

Interesting Comparison.

When the records of the weather for
January 1905, are compared with sim
liar records for January, 1906, a wide
difference is noticeable, more extend
ed perhaps, than the layman would
casually believe.
For instance during January last
year, the total amount of snow fall
was 1918 inches. This year it has been
one and half inches. The rainfall
including the melted snow, was 4.55
inches. This year it has been l.51
inches. Last year the mercury reach
ed point of two degrees below zero
on the twenty-ninth of the month. 1t
was one degree above on the twenty
sixth, four above on the ninth and six
above on the fourth of the month.
During the last ten days of the month
last year the average maximum tenn
perature was about 20 degrees, this year
it has been nearly 80 degrees. The
minimum temperature last year, dur
ing the last ten days, averaged about
eight or ten degrees above zero, while
this year it has averaged 25 degrees.

THE OLDEST OF ALL.

MRS. y. s. Books, West Mahoning
street, has probably the most interest
ing and unique productions of the soil
that ever grew out Of season and this
is remarking great deal for the pres
ent phenomenal winter when so many
unreasonable growths of all kinds are
reported daily.
Among the flowers which Mrs. Books
has in her house is vine which re-
quires a support. About the holidays
Mrs. Books cut small limb from a
lilac bush in the yard and inserted one
end in the flower pot by the side of
the vine and at once begun to train
the latter to wind up the small limb.
The vine grew rapidly, but that is not
all; it was soon observed that the
branch of lilac, had taken root and was
full of buds. Mrs. Books was quite
proud last Saturday when the buds
on her diminutive lilac bush began to
burst into leaves, but since that time
she has found herself in possession OF
a much greater curiosity, for not only
did the supposedly dead limb burst in
to leaves but on the end of it buncf
of lilacs burst into bloom, fairly wei
developed, and carrying with it al
the sweet odor of the summer time.

House Breakers Have a Feast.

When the employees of the Supplee-
Mather Co., at Bloomsbury, opened up
the company's warehouse yesterday
morning, it was found that window
had been broken open, evidently dur
ing the night, and raid made on the
interior.
The intruders were evidently in
search of eatables, as the yard of the
Atlantic Refining Company just across
the tracks, bore indications of having
been the scene of more or less elabor-
ate spread. A number of barrels had
been used as banquet board, and
around these three other barrels had
been set ON their sides, apparently to
afford seats for the feasters. On the
upturned barrels were found ginger
snaps, fancy cakes, chocolate and 9TH
er candies, partly smoked cigars, the
empty cake and candy boxes, etc. all
of which articles were found to be
missing from the Supplee- Mather build
ing. Nothing of value had been stolen,
however. The building is used large
ly for the storing of canned goods in
cases, and none of these were taken.
Fifteen or twenty cigars were missing
from box on the desk, which with a
quantity of envelopes, and several small
sample packages Of cakes and candies
was the extent of the theft as far as
discovered at this time. 1t was evid-
emily the work of boys or tramps, and
there must have been three of them il
the gang, to judge by the upturned
barrels on which they sat while eat
ing.
