How Speech Saved Hermitage.

Ernest Poole, in the New Re
public, describes the first days of
the Russian revolution The fol-
lowing incident was told him by
his Interpreter:
suddenly l heard the word go
round to burn the palace. At once
1 thought Of the Hermitage, which
stood SO close to the palace that
one could not burn without the
other-the Hermitage with its Rem
brandts and all its other treasures
Of art. My father and had often
been there. The place had been
like a holy cathedral. my only re-
ligion as a child. And so now, as
stood in a trance. something
strange happened inside OF me-
and what took place I cannot re-
call. I remember shouting to two
men to hoist me up on their should
ers. Then l began speaking to the
crowd. And as l noticed that thou
sands of eyes were turning in my
direction. l seemed to lose all con-
sciousness. Now l was speaking
down TO them from somewhere in
the cloudy sky. When ] re-
gained my senses was lying on
the pavement. There was cool
dirty snow on my face. and a SOL
dier on his knee beside me was un-
buttonlng my shirt. The
Winter Palace was not burned
do not nrean in the least to say
that the Hermitage was saved by
my speech. That doubtless played
but one little part in the thoughts
and passions deep and obscure that
10 surging through such a multi
tude. l was simply a molecule in
storm"

Need Women in Tarpaulin Mills.

Mills for the manufacture OF tar
paulins. located near Baltimore. are
now in need OF workers and an appeal
for women recruits has been made in
the newspapers. Owing to govern
ment contracts requiring millions of
yards OF the fabric from which tents
and covers for army wagons and
trucks are made 1t has been neces-
ssry TO enlarge the factories. In or
der 10 increase the output many ex-
ira spinners are needed at a time
when the draft will take away old
employees. The shortage of workers
has caused looms TO be idle now and
then and all the time there is the
most urgent demand for the khaki
colored cloth needed by the boys who
are winning victories in France.

1T COST TOO MUCH
City Hall Remodeling Figures Threw
n Scare Into WATSON.

w. H. WATSON, commissioner of
finances. quickly asked for a recess of
the weekly meeting of the city COM
missioners this morning when City
Clerk Covell presented the architects
figures on the estimated cost of re-
modelling the third floor of the city
building. The estimate placed the
cost at $1,000 and WATSON announced
this was SO much more than he had
contempla ted that he desired to con-
slider it to determine whether or not
such an amount could be taken from
the general fund.
An ordinance providing for the re-
modelling of the building was passed
some time ago and C. d. Cuthbert was
instructed to make an estimate, then
bids were advertised for and were
ready to be opened this morning
when WATSON asked for a recess. The
commissioners were scheduled to get
together again this afternoon late and
give the matter further consideration.
The improvements call for a rear
rangement of the Office rooms. giving
the city treasurer the Office now used
by Mayor Houses stenographer and
dividing up the room north of the
mayors office SO that part of it can
be used by the mayor and part by
Commissioner Porter.
The remodeIing is unnecessary,
