A dispatch from Helsinfors, Finland,
says: The assassination Of Premier
Stolypin was supposed by many Fin
landers to mean that his policy against
Finland would be modified in the in
terest of Finnish rights and Finnish
liberty. Now the duma has shattered
their hopes. Slowly but surely the
new premier, Kokoysoff, is putting his
iron heel on Finland and the duma has
supported him by the crushing vote
of 230 to 100.

The railway department proposes a
reduction Of the freight rates for hay.
II is explained that the old rates were
based on the assumption that hay
would always be carried unbaled. In
a comparatively short time, however,
II has become customary to bale the
hay for shipping, and in that shape 1t
takes up less than half as much room
as when loose. II is thought that a
reduction OF 25 per cent on hay and
straw would be fair.

 I for the purpose Of seeing the books, or rather their bindings Week days afford a better opportunity for study binding: art
 The smallest book in the world-its size is a quarter of an ordinary post. ton of majority of the visitors. It lis a curiosity. however, and it's bind ing has no relative value alongside of the books with which it is displayed. A few of the books exhibited are in teresting from having the coats of arms on some part of the binding of former owners such as those of Marie de Medici, the Marquis de MenasS, Louis XVII the Countess d'Astors. Hortense Beauhanais, Marie Antoin- cite, Marie Louise, the Arch Duchess of Austria, Queen Ann, Louis XVI, the Duchess de Berry, Charles ". of Spain, and others. But this is not the thing that makes the collection inter estinx in the main, for the bindings themselves, quite apart from any value of associations, are beautiful and artistic.
 Many different kinds of materials have been used by the binders rep resented in the collection, such as leather of various kinds and many cole ors, glass, faience, lacquer, silk, can vas, velvet, vellum, beads, ernbroid- cry, mother of pearl enamel, coral, ivory, tortoise-shell, bronze, iron, gol1, silver, skins from sharks, snakes, pigs, sheep and, perhaps the most curious of all, the human skin.

A "Reminiscences of Neal Dow.

All the signs point to lively fight in Maine over the question of 'sre- submission" The democratic leaders are by no means confident that they will be able to poll in the legislature the necessary number of votes to bring the matter of constitutional pro- hibition before the people. The pro- hibitionfstS are wideawake, the wO- men are rallying to their aid, and all over the state the contest is already under way.
 One correspondent says that the name of Neal Dow, who died some If years ago, and who for many years was the apostle of prohibition, is still being used to conjure with Neal Dow never retreated. He nailed his eolors to the mast. One Sunday. in his later life, addressing a large audience at Old Orchard, he talked with his usual vigor in behalf of the cause nearest his heart. He insisted that prohibi- tion was a success. Returning from the camp ground where he had spoken he was escorted by two. friends. Thanks to them, he was prevented from walking into the old Gorham house, where, behind an open bar, next to the front entrance, three husky bar tenders were dispensing liquid refresh ment to all who desired to buy.
 General Dow had made the mistake of supposing that he had reached his own stopping place. but was quickly hustled along. His friends, apparently, knew more of conditions in that and other Old Orchard hotels at that time than did the father of the Neal Dow 1aw.-Boston Journal

Too Many Criminals,

Andrew D. White in discussing the London troubles with alien criminals again calls attention to the failure of American criminal justice. We have too many murderers he says, and too few of them are punished Last year 8,795 murders were committed, which meant an increase of 300 over the total of 1909. Only one in S6 was cap itally punished.
 It is certainly true that many of our criminal trials are tragic farces of games for tricky p6ttfogers. It is equally true that justice which Is not efficient, prompt and solemn Is hardly deterrent. Criminals take chances and expect acquittal or long delays and light sentences
 What we must do, to begin with. to lessen violent crime is too familiar to require elaboration. Procedure and practice must be over11auled, and trials rendered swift, dignihed, 1mpresSive. What is so often said about murder may be said about perjury, crime that has grown a1Arm1ngly in the United States. IL is hard 10 securs conviction for perjury, but cannot the law be amended to remove some of the obstacles to just convictions on sufficient evidence ?-Gxainaxo Record Herald

Training SchooIGy tSprains Wrist
Takes Bad Tumble in Accident Y M. C. A. Ex- hibtion-C Clever All Around Work Shown by Team of Ten From Springfield T. s.

M.

He was not able to participate in any of the further events of the evening.
 The team, 1t was considered, gave an even better exhibition than they did d year ago particularly starring on the parallel bars. The solo numbers were big favorites, comprising skilful club hornpipe danced in capital form by Van Velsor in costume.
 On the apparatus the team showed fine form with the parallel bars, the horizontal bars. the rings and the horse.

HARVARD'S TRACK MEN
 MAKING GOOD SHOWING
Indications for Speedy Teams-Sprint- CTS, HurdIers and Jumpers Have Promising Candidates.

Harvard's track athletes are rap- idly progressing in their winter train ing on the big board track on Sol- diers neld, under the eye of Coach 'Pooch" Donovan. The material is as good this year as for several years, and much is expected of the relay teams. There are about a dozen men out for the 300-yard relay team. Just at present the fight for positions seems to have narrowed down to five men, but there are several others who are fast and may at any time show up well enough to be picked by the vet eran coach. Captain Foster, Ranney, Kelley, Simons and J. K Lewis, the hurdler. are the most prominent in the tryout for this team. Foster and Kelley arc the fastest of this bunch, and the other three will have the fight

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
LIGHT STOCK TRADING. But With Firm Undertone, the Last Hour Being Uniformly Strong.

New York, Jan, a7-Such strength as the stock market displayed for the greater part of today's session was limited in large part to certain spe- cialties, rather than to the more active issues. Cases in point were Interna- tional Harvester and Bethlehem Steel, together with other stocks in the same category, most of which made material gains. It is q fair assumption that the proposed reciprocity treaty with Canada, which was the subject of some discussion in financial circles, had no little to do with the movement in eer- tain of the stocks mentioned
 Ratification of such treaty with Can- ada, it is argued, would be of advan- tage to our manufacturers, particular ly those engaged in the steel industry and kindred lines, as the dominion material from Great Britain. The rise in Bethlehem Steel was also attended by rumors that the company is to in crease its capacity and that it may incidentally avail itself oZ the services of a distinguished expert who was un- til recently Identified with the United States Steel corporation.
 Heaviness of the copper stocks was attributed to further shading of prices here and the technically weak posi- ton of the metal market abroad. Ex- ports of copper for the month, how eNcI, were WcA dued0 OL tue same period in 1910.
 Trading both in stocks and bonds was very light, but with a firm under tone, and in the last hour the move ment in the active group was uni- formerly strong, with substantial gains in Atchison, Norfolk and Western. Reading. Union Pacific, St. Paul North Pacific and United States Steel The closing was strong at practically top prices of the day.
 Another feature was the further &C., tivfty in certain bank shares, the movement probably presaging some important mergers or consolida tons of local financial institHtions in the near future.
 Estimates agree on a large gain of cash by local institutions for the week the increase bsing dus to receipts from interior points, rather more than from operation with the sab-treasury.
 London bought about 10000 shares on balance here. chiefly United States Steel. Americans were strong in the London market, where the tcn~ for home securities seemed rather irreg- ular
 Increases in dividends were an- nounced by the Buffalo Rochester and Pittsburg and Green Bay and West ern Railroads, and by the General Chemical Company. December reports of the Kansas City Southern and the Central of Georgia showed small gains York Air Brake Company reports for the year 1910 show an increase in to- tai profits of $3se.000. Bonds were firm. Total sales par value, t2, ,o01, 900, United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Warren of last years freshman team seems the logical choice for fourth place, but Everett, Wilmington and Preble, for merly of Dartmouth, are all running we'll Wilmington and Preble will probably be tried out thoroughly at the longer runs this winter in the in door meets around Boston.
 Outside of the relay team candi- dates there are many other athletes out on Soldiers field taking advan- tage of the mild winter weather and getting into shape for the coming winter and spring campaigns There has been 9 large squad of sprinters working out daily under the coaching of s.Pooch" Donovan on the board straightaway side of the board track and the bunch is an exceedingly fast one, showing to even the casual Ob- server that Harvard will be well rep- resented in the sprintss during the conn- ing season and will be capable of con- testing with the best in the 100 and the furlon9g, should Captain Foster succeed in standing the gaff of severe training. Besides Foster there are Austin. last. years freshman crack; Halstead, formerly of Minnesota; Ad- ans, de Gozzaldi, Cummin of last years varsity, and Reynolds. the for mer Andover quarter miller, who has given signs of developing into fast sprinter.
 The field event men are gaining much valuable experience and prac- tice under Coach Quinn in the baseball cage. In the hurdles, J. K. Lewis of last years varsity team and J. B. Cummings of last years freshmen, seem to be the best of the men with any experience. It looks as though the Quinn had find in the timber putters and hammer throwers are working out under the stadium and back of the baseball field when the the furlong, should Captain Foster ting into good shape Batchelder and Keays. both of 1913, seem the best in the former event, and Cable and Chad wick excel in the weight throwing. The latter is playing on the hockey team at present and has had to forego all track work for the winter. Per- haps the most encouraging of any of the events is the high jump, in which the men under Coach Quinn are do- ing far better than at any time be- fore at this time of the season. Bark CT. a varsity man, has suddenly taken brace, ard even out of doors is showing form far better than he did when at his best out of doors last year.

 concession until . point Of safety is reached" safety, that is. for the unfortunate foot passenger or driver of horse. The motorist of the kind contemplated attends to his own safe- ty by driving other people out of his way
 There are drivers of that kind everywhere. They are those who make automobiles hated. 0n the other hand there are some to whom a wave of surprised respect and affec- tion flows out as we see them content with a reasonable speed, note, their care at corners, the scrupulous regard for the rights of the humble people who have to get into or out of trolley cars, and their recognition of the equal right with them of all who use the highway. The tyrants of the road do not care for popular opinion, but they can be made to obey the traffic laws. Thus far they ignore them safely, as a rule, unless they happen to run over some one-and very often then they escape with a trf1ing penalty.

the other hand Corning and Neibert have been doing consistently high score work and are looked to ring up top figures, while Captain Sullivan is expected to be the same old reliable man to pull he team together to do it's best, while he piles up the strings him :. self. Fifth place on the team is un- settled, between Holden and Joe Oat, either of which are likely to show some startling figures. They will be sent acros for warming up string to show their form.
 Who the Providence men are is not known, but they are all to be holders of l. T. U. cards, according to the terms of the match, which starts at 2 o'clock and will probably be best two out of three strings.

LAJoIE SAVES HIS EYES.
Never Reads by Artificial Light-PIay'
 Pool Little at Night.

One of the secrets of Larry Lajoie's consistently good batting is said to be the fact that the Clevelander sell dom reads after dark.
 When he Is on the road or at home the big Frenchman goes through the papers closely enough to keep in touch with baseball news and current events, but so much does he fear artificial light that he always finds some other form of amusement or pastime after sundown.
 As a pool player Lajoie is also an expert, but most of his welding of the cue is done before the shades of night fall.
 This close training has, unquestion- ably, had much to do with the fact that Lajoie is always in perfect con- dition, and even when in the midst of a batting slump he seldom fails to hit the ball, but is unfortunate in driving it right at the felders.
