RUSSIAN MONARCHIsTS LOSE
The Duma Elected a Democratic
President by a Heavy Vote.
Riot Follows Dispersal of Body,
Troops Charging the People
Determined Struggle is Due.

st. Petersburg, Russia. -Feodore
Golovine, Constitutional Democrat,
president of the Moscow provincial
zemstvo, was elected president of the
lower house of the Duma. He re-
ceived 331 votes on the first ballot.
The candidate of the Right (the Gov
eminent party Khomiakoff, received
only ninety-one votes.
An enormous crowd gathered out
side the Taurida Palace, where the
lower house of the Duma sits. to
greet the members of the new Duma
as they arrived Cheers, mingled
with cries of Amnesty were raised
as the deputies entered the palace,
the approaches to which were guard
ed by police and troops. Finally the
troops were ordered to dispense the
crowd.
There was a brief riot after the
Duma had dispersed Two of the
revolutionaries received dangerous
sabre wounds. The news spread and
revolutionaries, students and work
men gathered in thousands near the
university.
M. Golubeff, vice-president of the
council of the empire, formally
opened the Duma. The Secretary of
State read the imperial ukase which
convened the assembly. The Social
Democrats did not attend the open
ing ceremony, but afterward took
the oath. The budget estimates for
1907 were introduced by Finance
Minister Kokovtsoff. 1t was accom-
panied by memorandum which
placed the war expenditures up to
January of this year at 81 ,299, 000,-
900, and showed that the revenue
during 1906 exceeded the expendi-
lures by more than SIS, 100000.
The first test vote was taken on
the final ratification of the presidents
election. The oppositional parties
combined their votes and cast $50
for the Constitutional Democrat Co.
lovine, whom the Laborites and Peas
ants had previously agreed to sup
port. The Government parties cast
1872 votes for Khomiakoff
The Duma separated in good Or
der, the parties of the Left going
into conference to arrange how to
force the question Of the abolition of
summary court martials and the
granting of amnesty to political Of
tenders.
This experience confirms the belief
that since the dissolution of the first
Duma the Russian people have
learned more than the Government.

THE KITCHEN FLOORS.

Is it too early to talk about reno
waiting the woodwork of our homes?
I think not, and if you are in need
of formulas for floor stain, it might
be we'll to clip this one out and put
it where you can get it when wanted.
The reason why many women detest
kitchen work is because the kitchen,
itself, is usually the most uninviting
place in the house, and only to be
kept presentable by hard, drudging
work which might just as well not be
required. No dainty woman likes to
spend the greater part of her time
scraping and securing the floors, or
washing and cleaning the woodwork.
If the floor is an old one, it should be
secured perfectly clean, being par.
ticular to remove all grease spots,
and let get perfectly dry. Then, for
a good stain, take half pound of
burnt umber, half pound of raw
lumber, and mix with one pint of
Japan varnish and one pint of boiled
linseed oil, thinning with turpentine
until it will spread evenly on the
floor. Apply this mixture with a
worn paint brush, rubbing it across
the grain. In about ten minutes after
finishing the floor, go over it with a
wooden rag and rub off all the surplus
stain, rubbing this time with the
grain of the wood. When the floor is
perfectly dry, which should not be
longer than two or three days, at
most, apply coat of boiled linseed
oil. Let dry before using. About
once in six months give the floor a
coating of boiled linseed oil, and it
will always look well.
If the floor is a new one, of either
ash or hard pine, two coats of boiled
linseed oil makes pretty floor, Such
a floor should not be scrubbed; wip-
ing up with clear, terEd water is all
that is necessary.-The Commoner.

PERKINS RESTORES FUNDS
New York Life Receives S54O19
Contributed Through FinaRcier.
Company Reimbursed For 1904 Re-
publican Campaign Gift--Money
and Interest Returned.

New York City George w. Per-
kins has returned to the New York
Life, with interest, the s48,5OO which
he contributed to the Republican Ma
tionaI Campaign Committee in 1904
on behalf of the company, which later
reimbursed him. That Mr.. Perkins,
out of his own pockst, would restore
the money to the company's treasury
was foreshadowed more than a year
ago
Mr.. Perkins sent the following let
ter, dated March 6, to President Orr,
of the New York Life:
I'm 1904, at the request of the
then president of the company, I adj
vanced S48,500 as a payment on be-
half of the New York Life Insurance
Company to ahe Republican National
Campaign Committee. / did this
with the understanding with the
president that l should be reim-
bursed by the company. Subsequent
ly / was SO reimbursed The pay
ment was made without any thought
on the. part of the president or my
self of personal advantage, but sole
ly in the belief that it was for the
best and broadcast interests of the
policy holders, both at home and
abroad. In dismissing the criminal
proceedings instituted against me for
accepting the reimbursement, the
courts have intimated that the pay
ment and, therefore, the reimburse
ment was not for proper corporate
purpose. l therefore return to the
company the amount of money paid
by it to me, inclosing herewith my
check for $54,019.19, to cover prin.
cipal and interest"
According to the Fowler investi-
eating committees report of Febru-
airy IA, 1906, the New York Life con-
tributed $4,000 in 1896, $4,000 in
1900 and $48,702.50 in 1904, Treas
urer Gibbs, who is now dead, having
made the first two payments. These
contributions the Fowler report char
acterized as '.illegal and recoverable
at law"
The Perkins contribution, accord
ing to this report, was entered on the
company's books merely as "$4S,-
702.50" and by order of the Presi-
dent" the Fowler committee finding
no account of the manner of it's ex-
penditure, except in the Armstrong
testimony of Mr. Perkins and ex-
President Mccall.

Gray Garb For Travellers.

"Have you ordered your new gray
travelling dress? Paris has decreed
them" So runs the phrase frequent
ly heard from the woman who keeps
up with fashions mandates. THE
new color for travelling costume is a
shade of grayish green, best known
in connection with mems light over
coats. This, carried out in covert
coating, makes an exceedingly neat
costume, and every item of the toilet
is chosen by the Parisienne to CORE
spond with it. The new idea is to
have the gloves in exactly the same
shade as the dress. White gloves
have been discarded except for wear
with a white gown"

VOTES FOR DIsEsTABLIsHMENT.
Disendowment in England and Wales
Approved by 1873 to 80.

London.-A resolution in favor of
the disestabIishment and disendow-
menb of the Church in both England
and Wales was adopted by 1913 votes
to 80 in the House of Commons.
This resolution does not commit the
Government, but the debate upon it
was interesting on account of state
ment made by Augustine Birrell, the
Chief Secretary for Ireland. Mr.. Bir-
rell said he failed to see how the
continuance of the established Church
could be justified. The Church had
done the State no good, and the State
had done the Church only harm.
Personally, Mr.. Birrell said, he be-
lieved that establishment, far
from harming the Church as spir-
itual body, would restore it to a po-
sition of spiritual authority through
out the land. The Governments
hands, however, were already too full
to assume any responsibility in the
matter.
This is the first time in it's history
that the House of Commons has
adopted such a resolution. The only
previous time a similar resolution
was pressed to a division was in May,
1871, and it was then rejected by a
large majority.

child,s Double Breasted Cont.

Such a simple coat as this one suits
the small children admirably well
and is always favorite. In the il
lustration it is made of dark blue
broadcloth with collar and cuffs of
velvet combined with the cloth and is
a very chic little garment, but it is
adapted to velvet and to velveteen,
to the beautiful fur pushes, to chew
lot, and, indeed, to every material
that is used for children's coats, it
being just as good model for the
spring ones of light weight cloth as
it is for those of the colder weather.
In this case it is worn by little girl
and is buttoned over from right to
left. But the design suits the boys
just as we'll as the girls, the only
difference being in the method of
buttoning, so that when the left side
