THE MTLTUKOFF BOYCOTT.

The only becoming thing about the boycOtting
of Mr.. Miliukoff by the majority of the Russian
DOuma was the abandonment of it. The thing
was conceived in ignorance or magnity and
was carried out in bUorsh spite mingled with
gross hypocrisy. The spectacle of hundred

amusing than otherwise to the unperturbed OBJ

The head and front of Mr. Miliukoffs offend

this city. But those who affected TO regard that
speechmaking as an improper performance were
ef-convcted OF one of three things, any of
which was sufficient to condemn them Either
they did ApI know what he said here, and were
thus unpGrdonabiy ignorant, or they were IN
willing that the truth about Russia should be

who thus vented their spleen upon MIR Mlliu-

few utterances occurrences in recent years
have more inspired the American people with
sympathetic and friendly interest in Russia
than that speech, while few have created a
more unpleasant impression or have more tended

"A friend calls our attention to
the fact that we were a little mixed in
our history last week in the item rela-
tive to the 18th, of May, the Nor
wegian holiday. That day commorates
the adoption of Norway's constitution,
which was on May, II, 1914. The
rights set up in this constitution have
been carefully guarded by the Nor
wegian people and it was the encroach-
ment upon these rights by the Swed-
ish government that caused the disolu-
sion of the union between the two
countries, which occurred June 9Th,
1905. The Norwegian constitution is
one of the best, and guarantees to
that people freedom in a measure
which is considered by some equal to
that of our own. One thing is certain
upon it that people have built up laws
and a state of society that is a credit
to the civilized world of today.
The arrangements for the proper
celebration of Old Settlers Day, June
10th, are now we'll under way. The

This is a free street attraction, and
one of the best of such performances
now presented to the public. A
young mar is enclosed within a large
wooden ball and makes the descent
down a long incline with such rapidity
that the force of gravity is overcome
and the ball and its occupant perform
a complete circle around the fifteen
foot loop, landing in a big net. The
man in the ball must turn over one
hundred and seventeen times from
the top of the incline to the end Of
the loop. The net is used to catch
the ball in order to make il safe fol-
spectators. Before the net was used
the ball would often roll from two te
