Material Is Money.

It would be hard, in fact. an impossible

on the books. and he would not consider
such a thing for a moment On the

Russ1A's Po1Ya1oT COLLEGES.
Students Gathered From All Parts
Of the Empire.
From the Student World

From the Student World
The Russian student world does not rep
resent a compact homogeneous mass OF
Russians. but reflects the variety of diff
ferent nationalities which form LA. 100000
inha bitants Of this empire and Of Its 100
or more languages and dialects.
This is especially apparent in the west
ern universities, In Yoorieff DorpaD, for
example, where the Polish. German, Let
fish, Ethiopian and Russian students
form distinct groups, the last comprising.
besides great and small Russians, a
number of Jews and of dark-faced Arme-
mans and Georgians from the Caucasus.
These groups are not on friendly terms
with each other.
1t is Impossible before correct census
has been taken to give an exact estimate
OF the number of students in the eight
universities and about thirty-six high
technical schools for men and in the ten
or eleven higher institutions for women;
but 1t Is certain that the number has Of
late greatly increased. having risen in st.
Petersburg from 14.6OO In 1905 to 1850,
including about 500 women. The total
cannot be below $4,000. The students are
concentrated in few great centers, max
ing access for work among them easier.
All the universities and almost all the
high technical schools are non-residential.
The distinctly Russian class of students
produce on a foreigner an impression
that Is not prepossessing. With the ex-
ception of a few dandies in the capitals
they are mostly extremely poor and
crowd into the universities without fnan-
cial means. in hope of finding work or
lessons to live on and many are almost
starving. A foreigner will also be struck
by their unruliness. lack Of restraint, I'M
reliability. lack OF enterprise and of per-
severance. and the more than loose way
in which they regard the very worst
forms Of sin. The sense of right and
wrong seems to be obliterated to a terri
BILE extent
But much must be said in favor of these
students. to make up for these dark out
lines. Russians are an emotional people.

open to the worst and to the best and
highest influences. You will hardly any

Special Dispatch TO The Star. st.
NEW YORK. June 5.-Todays stock
market showed the same sudden alterna-
ton of tone which has characterized
the dealings throughout the week. AS has
been the case for an indefinite period,
Union Pacific and Reading furnished a
very large proportion of the total tran
sactions. which were, however. in smaller
volume than of late. At the opening of
business number of fairly smar, adj
vances from yesterdays closing figures
Sw were shown. but the tendency of the
market at the time seemed to be little
more than reflection of the London
stock market. where American s;ocks
were quoted al substantial gains in con-
frast with New York's final figures. The
areitrage houses were buyers on balance
to the extent of about 10000 shares.
As has been the case recently, discussion
was taken up chiefly with the IDENTITY Of
those houses to whom there were intrust-
ed the largest buying or selling orders in
the market. That fact alone attested to
the inconsequentional character OF the
Gay s dealings. Throughout the business
session there was noted. how ever an un-
dercurrent of uneasiness with regard to
the outcome of the forthcoming conven-
ton of the republican party. and concern
: IN. this respect took the form that the
incumbent of the presidential chair would
probably be his own successor.
Conditions in the steel trade were also
prominent in the days discussion and
there We're all manners of rumors current
as to actual or impending cuts in one
line or, another of finished products The
United States steel shares moved, how
ever, In common with the remainder of
the market and rallied steadily during
the greater part of the business session.
The Industrial and miscellaneous stocks
were indeed generally firm. National Lead
was exceptionally strong. presumably in
connection with q further advance in the
selling price for that metal American
Smelling and Amalgamated Copper were
steady, although showing the irregular
tendencies that characterized the market
as a whole.
transactions In the railway list were OF
I more or less perfunctory nature. North
ern Pacific and Chesapeake and Ohio
were exceptionally firm. while some pres
sure was evident in dealings in Erie
shares.
The. perennial rumors of the early an
nouncement of special dividend on
Northern Pacific accompanied the trans
actions In that stock.
The, traction issues were steady on small
transactions. The grain market moved
within narrow limits in advance OF the
appearance of the government crop report
on Monday next.
The preliminary estimates Of the prin
cipal movements in currency during the
week indicated a gain in cash by the
banks in excess of $4,000, 600. of which
S. 100000 was derived from transactions
with the subtreasury. Additional engage.
ments OF gold for export were announced
with no effect whatever upon money mar.

Prevention Of x-Ray Burns.

From Vienna correspondence Pail Mall Gazette.
Prof. Ritter Won Jacksch. well known
for his work in the department OF X-rays,
has after many experiments discovered
a method Of preventing the burning OF
the skin which so often results from the
operation Of the ray. Prof. Jacksch has
invented q kind Of shield. composed of
a silver plate two one-hundredths OF a
millimeter in thickness. which is envelop-
ed In q capsule covering Of cellulose
This. placed over the portion Of the body
to be exposed to the action Of the X-days
has been found to preserve the skin from
any injury while the influence Of the rays
upon the organs desired to be affected is
in no way hindered. The professor
hopes that his device will equally pre-
rent the injury to the skin which has
hitherto proved one OF the greatest OBJ
jections to the use of the Roentgen days
in medical work.

Waiter Talks Of Tips.

you think he'd present the glad smile to
those he'd like to choke. break his neck
making everybody comfortable. and then
listen to their hard-luck stories or more
painful jokes? No. sir: he'd serve the
stuff just as he got 1t from the kitchen.
He wouldn't go back and fight for It'd

for himself. The customer would wait
because the waiter wouldn't: and prob

singing joints have to pay higher wages
than the swell restaurants? There's not
the opportunity for tips In the cheap
places. and the waiter must follow op-

has to be clever enough to get tips. and
he has no social standing to make him
