Prohibition hootch is the subject of
much discussion these days, and regard
less of who the bootlegger is, the fellow
who patronizes one is never certain that
there is anything fancy about the stuff
so nicely labeled except the price. This
was revealed in a liquor violation case

found that the fluid in question had been
made from lemon, orange and water
melon rinds taken from garbage cans
and that the manufacturer had been do

In 1905 and 1906 there was an
abortive revolution in Russia. Di-
rectly due to this demonstration
Alexis Alexeiev found himself super
f1uous in his own country. Prefer
ring emigration to an enforced resi-
dence of long duration in Siberia.
Alexis left for New York. 1t was not
so simple a matter as it sounds.
Alexis belonged to the Socialist-Rev-
olutionist party. He was of the in
ner circle of that party, the Fighting
Organization. The party would decide
in secret council that certain Mill
tary Governor had accumulated suf-
ficient years and crimes, and one OF
the daring young students of the
Fighting Organization would be dele
gated to execute sentence of death
upon the offending Governor. The
system was very efficient: the chosen
assassin simply bartered his life for
the life of the Czarist official He
scarcely foped for escape, expected
no mercy.

designs inherited from the ancient
Byzantine empire. A lady-in-w waiting
to the late Czarina has turned her
training to account as manicurist.
The scion of noble family of Petro-
grad runs an elevator.
A countess, the sister of a former
Minister of War, is reduced to scrub
bing tile floors. Perhaps as she
scrubs all night long in the vast
empty corridors she thinks of other
halls lofty. glittering with lights and
with the reflection of lights from
many jewels, and silken trains and
diamond coronets. Perhaps when
she rips the edge of her apron on
door step she remembers the court
balls, when she danced all night and
drove home at dawn with the hem
of her gown in tatters where her
partners spurs had worked havoc.
Bolsheyik Russia is almost as un-
favorable to artists as to aristocrats.
Though not actually hostile, it offers
no reward MOP even a livelihood. In
fortunate hour some have come to
America. Whether America adopted
the fad for Russian art because of
the influx of Russian artists or
whether Russian artists came be-
cause America had a fad for Russian
art would be difficult to decide
However that may be. both the fad
and the artists are here. Russian
dancing. design. vaudeville. opera
embroidery and boots are each quite
the last word in their respective
lines.
1t is not necessary to call attention
to La Chauve Souris. That brilliant
scrapbook of vivid bits of Russian
art has met with such success it
promises to remain feature of New
York entertainment for an indefinite
time. A somewhat similar produc-
ton was presented last season by
resident artists under the direction
of Borovslli. 1t was called the Rus
sian Izba.

Slipping Into America.

Alexis was a terrorist, undoubt-
edly, in principle at least, though MS
opportunity for action had not yet
come. According to Ellis Island
standards, he was an undesirable inn
portation. Yet Alexis and hundreds
of his associates slipped through
into the United States, bringing their
hot hatreds and stern fanaticism.
And America did something to them
To-day it is very difficult to locate
any of that group of revOlutionists.
They We're quietly and thoroughly
absorbed They turned their excel
lent technical education to use in
this country and grew calmer in
their political beliefs. Most of them
were young and adaptable.
Alexis is still in New York. He has
a half interest in a drug store and
full American citizenship and modi-
fled political opinions. Some of his
former associates returned to Russia
at the invitation of the kerensky
Government and have not been heard
from for some time. Those who re-
mained here are well satisfied.
Mikhail IS of another phase of
Russian immigration. He is a peas
ant of the province of Minsk. About
1907 the economic results of the
Russo japanese War became oppres-
sive in Minsk. Volyn and Grodno, and
thousands of peasants left their
farms for the New World. I'VE will

~ UGITIVE Princesses. black

music and cathedral domes swirling
upward into slender spires-that is

The other impression of Russia is of
gioom-frozen plains and dark for
ests, fatalism, famine and wretched-
hess. Mystery. terror and magic
are the atmosphere of this legendary
country. And the odd thing about it
is that none of the wild stories are
too far fetched to be true.
The Russia of Tolstoy and Gorky,
as well as the Russia of the all-fic-
tion magazines, is here, in New York
city. For the. last twenty years we
have been having sort of overflow

have received, with a greater or less
degree of enthusiasm, Diaghileff,

the outstanding figures. Less con-

New York. July 27.-Stock prices
rallied throughout the list on the
stock exchange today. reflecting the
feeling prevailing in the financial
community that early settlement of
both the railroad and coal strikes was
In prospect While the outlook for

miners and operators in an effort
to settle trouble on the basis Of the
old wage scale and recognition Of
the union could not be construed as
a victory for the mine owners, Wall
street felt that the most imperative
thing at the moment so far as gen.
eral business was concerned was to
have coal production resumed before
the coal shortage made further in
roads on industrial activities.
Railroad stocks were the first
group to reflect the more optimistic
view concerning an early break in
the labor cloud. Pennsylvania, Balti-
more and Ohio, and Chesapeake and
Ohio obtained new highs for the
year, while New York Central and
other representative carrier issues
scored substantial recoveries.

other developments in the industrial
group, but stocks Of this class was
