ODESSA, Feb 22.-The antt-semitic
excesses conducted during the last
month by the Union of True Russians
with the tolerance of the authorities,
are gradually diminishing, Premier
Stolypin having instructed Governor
General Kaulbars to take energeV
measures to prevent further disorders.
General Kaulbars summoned a spe-
Cial council which was attended by the
highest local officials, to discuss the
situation. 1t was then decided TO 'au-
wise the members of the union to re-
store order" General Kaulbars, how
ever, insisted that tho Black Hands
should not oe disarmed "because they
are the only true patriots in Russia.
1t was becoming evident that "patri-
otic activity" of the Black Hands was
merely n subterfuge for the organiza-
tion of an antiJewish attack similar
to those of last year, with the purpose
of melting the Jews to commit disor-
ders that would neCessitate the inter-
vention of Cossacks, as a result of
which Wholesale massacring of Jews
and the looting of property might en-
sue.
black Hands Are Boys
The much talked of Black Hands are
mere school boys ranging in age from
n to II years and armed with automatic
reVolvers.
Whenever Jews Ventured to draw
weapons in self-defense they were al
once arrested and many innocent Jews
have been hanged or otherwise pun
ished. Jewish women have been vio-
lated and the culprits generally went
unpunished III consequence of the
diminuition of disorders commerce is
again becoming normal and the thea
ters and restaurants are reopening. The
intervention of Premier Stolypin has
to a certain extent, reassured Odessa
inhabitants.

 Before l could more than gasp at this transformation he said: Don't say q word: march right ahead As usual, oheved first and thought afterward. The look of interest on the face of the man in blue faded away as we passed him. Mir Iascelles shuffled around a corner with me and said See If he Is following -it hurts like the devil to walk bowlegged this way
 When I assured him that he wasn't, I beheld another transformation. He swung his arms. touched his hat, slapped his chest. turned out his toes, straight ened up and-behold I was walking again with the gentleman of whose appearance l had been so proud. He looked at me as we took the next side street and burst out laughing.
 .erhat was one of those bally English men who are trying to beat me out of my inheritance" he said. Now, that's all the explanation I can give you just now, little girl"
 Next morning, after the trunks were packed and the tickets bought, he seemed worried At last he told me that a draft on Barring Bros. had not arrived, and on that account he was in temporary fnan- cial difficulty in Fitzgerald. He wondered if 1 could persuade my father to help him out with loan. I thought this would be easy to arrange and he seemed re- lieved
 When father met us at the station he seemed cold and would scarcely speak to Sidney. As soon as I saw him privately he accused my husband of @ long series of crooked things in the management of public and private moneys. and fatly refused to loan him cent. Furthermore, he asked me to leave my husband, whom he called the most daring adventurer who ever visited the south.
 My husband denied my fathers &C., cusatlons so earnestly and with such ap- parent injured innocence that I was ashamed to have repeated them. and sent him to persuade father. When he returned he had that boyish look again, and shouted: Don't unpack-we're off again..
 Off we went. Sidney had 5000 which he had borrowed from father, as he ex- plained to me In reality father gave him the money in return for his promise never to return to Georgia again"

From the New York Times.
 A customer had just left the drug store, after getting the druggist to put up for him some mixture the formula for which he had read in newspaper.
 "We do lot of that kind of business" ;" said the proprietor, looking after the man who was going out "Of course, we wouldn't give people anything but harm less stuff, but some of the compounds are the most utterly foolish things you could imagine. Certain kinds of mixtures have a run, and then are succeeded by different ones, according, I suppose, to the dates on which the formulas are pub lished One week, 1t may be hair tonics, the next cough mixtures, and then, per haps. dyspepsia cures.
 But the most idiotic thing, so far, Is the craze for coalmaking. No, I'm not joking. Stories of several discoveries of substitutes for coal have been in the papers lately, you know, mad 1t beats all how many persons think they are going to save their coal bills in the future. Oxalic acid, ashes and water is a popu- lar recipe don't know how many pack ages of the acid I've sold in the last week or two. Just out of curiosity l asked one man the next time he came fin. what success he met with.
 "'Oh,' he said, disgustedy, it was a bip fake. I put out my fire and nearly ruined my furnace trying to burn the in- fernal stuff I made. The coal companies can have my money just the same as us- nal. unless some better substitute than mine turns up.'"

Hlah Life and Turpentlne.

F. Lazacer stood on the corner of Fifth street and Kansas avenue on the West Side Saturday night, leaning against railing in front of a barber shop In his had was an eight-ounce bottle filled with liquid. A stray dog happening ~along and walking down the steps towards the entrance to the barber shop, Lazacer pulled the cork from the bottle and emp tied the contents on the dogs back.
 With yelp the dog rushed pell mell into the crowded shop. He ran between the legs of the barbers. jumped upon the chairs in which customers were lathered and helpless and performed other aston ishing tricks.
 Mad dogl' some one yelled. A general scramble toward the entrance followed in which an excited barber accidentally cut a customer with a razor. The dog, how ever, calmed down before the scare reached the street.
 A police officer had seen Lazacer pour the liquid on the dog. Lazacer was arr rested. He appeared before Judge Sims in the West Side police court this morn- ing on the charge of cruelty to animals.
 What was this stuff this man threw on the dogs back7" the arresting officer was asked.
 "Hoki poldi'
 What does 1t contain?"
 q don't know, your honor, but from the actions of that dog I thing 1t must be mixture of high life and turpentine."
 Lazacer was asked why he poured tile stuff on the dog
 "Just to see little fun. he answered.
 And you nearly caused panic" Judge Sims said. "I haven't any sympathy with you practical jokers. That was an act of cruelty on your part to pour this stuff. whatever 1t is, on that dog. As result some of those men in that barber shop might have gotten their throats cut. Your fun will cost you $50 this time"

Down Mobile"

Down Mobile Lincoln J. Carter's stage story of Southern Alabama will be the attraction at the Bijou all this week. beginning tomorrow night.
 The name of Carter is synonymous for mechanical effects in the stage world He is father and patentee of class of at fractions peculiarly his own. His trade marks are readily recognized, and when a production bearing his name Is adver- tised the theatregoing public know they can expect performance full of excite ment and intense interest. Five scenes have been presented on the stage in plays for years, but Down Mobile" has the best of them all, 1t is claimed. It has re- mained for Carter, however, to produce something approaching the real article. In Down Mobile there is an old cotton warehouse, consigned to flames and to all intents and purposes it looks as if the whole stage were In flames. Angry tongues of fire seeth and serge in all directions, enveloping the scenery and the actors while volumes of thick smoke roll and whirl until the entire stage seems threatened with complete destruction and the theatre as we'll There is no cause for alarm, however, for the artmcial con- fagration Is produced by purely mechan- ical and electrical effects, while not even the striking of match is required,
 The story of Down Mobile" is one full of action and exciting incidents. There is strong plot consistently told and brought out with much force and drama tic action. A lot of comedy creeps in at the more serious moments of the play, thus giving the audience a breathing spell from the exciting and stirring story.

PRACTICAL PHILANTHROPY.
Women of Wealth Work for Better
 Social Condition.

The women of millions who desire to emulate Andrew Carnegie in devoting wealth to the betterment of social eondi- tions are proffered much interesting ad- vice from William Fl. Allen in the June Woman's Home Companion MT. Allen outlines several practical plans. as fol- lows:
 use her love of expensive clothes to make womanlkind more healthy, more genuine, more beautiful. For fear of seeming eccentric, the shop girl, school teacher and the majority of mothers with out millions dare not now avoid fashions that arc damaging to health; they can not pay efficient doctors to repair or con- ceal the damage; they ruin health and beauty by substituting artifice for na- ture. Why not emancipate them from the prosecuting corset, high-heel shoe and other prevaricators?
 Conduct a crusade against unbeautiful school yards, fowerless school windows. treeless streets. unattractive church yards. town squares and public build ings Makek form gardens of vacant lots, and convert gloomy windows and yards Into spots of beauty and inspiration to those whose income forblds a view of seashore and country or even city parks. If too busy to attend to such things per sonally, she could work through some so- ciety that is busiest when everybody s away
 Indulge a passion for cleanliness be- yond the limits of her own house. I know one woman of wealth who set a good example by making the lowest bid for the garbage removal contract of her city. How can millionaire women endure the thought that all streets are filthy ex- cept those wealth causes to be cleaned?
 Refuse to buy clothes or other things unless 1t is known that they were pro- duced under healthful, humane condi- tions. Insist upon her friends supporting agencies that learn about child labor and that protest against sacrificing childhood and motherhood to the greed, indifference or ignorance of manufacturer and shop keeper
 when re-investing her millions fol- low the example of Mrs. Potter Palmer and the Misses Stokes. by erecting model tenement houses with plenty of light and plenty of air. Let her purchase six per cent bonds of model pawn shops that enable people in temporary distress to borrow on their modest belongings with

DIsRAELl IN THE "RozE BOAT
The Premier's "sixpenny 'orth of Brandy, Neat" Was "Put on Score"

Julius Chambers in the Brooklyn Eagle.
 During the most feverish period of a debate in the British house of commons in which all but the strictest party lines had been broken, I went to parliament house Westminster palace) one night to watch the proceedings.
 Far after midnight 1 felt the need of a 'bracer" and went down to the old woman who kept the buffet at the house of commons side. A line had formed and l fell in behind a man whose bare head indicated him to be an employe or a member. It was very cold and draughty in the broad and lofty corridor. When the slightly stopped man in front of me reached the sideboard bar he said in a low voice:
 "Slxpenny 'orth of brandy neat"
 When the brown liquor was served he swallowed 1t at a gulp, replaced the glass upon the counter and added: Put it on the score
 Meanwhile l had been striving to locate the voice, but all efforts in that dlrec- tion were vain As the old man turned to go away we faced each other. He was the premier of the British empire. At that very moment he was the most talked about man on the face of the habitable globe; and yet he was getting a six pence worth of cognac-and having 1t charged.
 What an object lesson to mel Nobody could blame him for taking 'bracer' at that time of night, when parliament was likely to sit until daylight. But the thought that fingered in my mind was the account that he kept with the barl Anybody might buy a drink and pay for 1t; but premier could afford to run a bill.''
 On one occasion I had been admitted to his presence at Whitehall, and had "been accorded an interview" but never had I seen the real man until that mo- ment in which he had said:
 Add 1t to the score!"

ODDITIES IN TRANSFER SLIPS.
AsheviIle, N. C., Had System lnvolv-
 ing Punch of Portrait.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 A visitor from Asheville, N. C., took a ride on the Brooklyn trolley lines and got tangled up in the new transfer sys- tenn. Eeventually he got back to his hotel unhurt but on the verge of severe mental Illumination.
 "Once I thought that Asheyille had the most complicated and troublesome trans fer system in the world" he said. but Brooklyn has us beaten whole blocks. I'm all in fever after trying to under stand your transfers
 Down in Asheville the street railroad company had the most complete transfer system you ever saw The system was built on the principle of having hold CTS picture with every ticket like they do at expositions to identity holders of long term tickets. Of course, the trans fers G.dn't have an exact likeness to fit each passenger, but the margin Of the long slip was covered with little pictures, supposed to cover all the types of men, women and children. Conduc- tors had orders to give careful scrutiny and tlen punch under a picture bear ing the nearest resemblance to the pas senger who was to receive the trans fer. The conductors were careless and they would sometimes punch the picture of bearded man on a transfer Intended for clean shaven passenger. This led to all sorts of fights.
 The feature that caused most trouble was the age sections. For the women there was an under 70 and over W section, where the conductor punched his estimate of lady passengers age. Ma turally every woman resented 1t when ever conductor punched her transfer in the over 40' place Some of the wom- en went so far as to begin proceedings against the railroad. The women were usually identified by their headgear, and conductors were always punching trans fers under certain styles of bonnet for passengers wearing an entirely different style The conductor on the next car would notice the difference and refuse the transfer. So much trouble resulted that the system had to be abolished"
