All the Ladies' High Grade Jackets left in stock
have been grouped into three great lots aud will be
offered at the above figures to close. These three
lots represent garments that actually sold at from
$12.50 to $25.00 each this season, aud at the new
prices
$7.50, $10.00
each, are the greatest bargains that ever came from
a Scrauton Cloak Department. In point of materi
als, style, tailoring or general get-up, they cannot
be surpassed in elegance for any amount of money.
You can depend on being properly fitted if you call
today, but sizes are low in some styles, and when
the smartest garments of the day are offered at the
very height of the season, at fiom 3 per cent, to jo
per cent, below actual values, the prospect for keep
ing sizes intact for many days is slim indeed.
Of Course We
Have Jackets, Capes, Etc,
for much less money, but to those who believe that
good tilings arc cheapest in the eud, we say, don't
miss looking at these Jackets now offered at
$7.50, $10.00 and $12.50

History of the Press Under the Rule
of the Czars.
Tiom tho Now York Times.
There has never existed a political
press in the real acceptation of tho
term in Russia, According to immem
orial tradition, the government of the
czar only allows the publication of
news Is In every respect agreeable
to its views and opinions. In certain
special cases of great importance,
when It Is thought necessary to either
excite or to calm public opinion, the
Russian government Is a trifle more
lenient. Thus, for Instance, In 1S12,
during tho wars against Napoleon T,
two newspapers suddenly mado their
appeal ances, which at once beenmo the
recognized oigans of the Russian
chauvinist patty, tho Russian Invalid,
organ of the ministry of war, and Mie
Syn Otetchesva.
The Hist Russian newbpaper dates
from the reign of Czar Alexis (1813
1670.) It was known under the name of
Cm icnt News, nnd was only deslgnuj
for the immediate entourage of tho
emperor. The real founder of the Rus
slun press was Peter tho Great, who
tlrst started the St. Peteisbuig C a
zette, the official organ of tho Academy
of Sciences, a complete collection of
which exists since 1714. After the
llrst Impetus a number of other nor.
lodlcnls were started sucesslvel".
Among those the best known were tho
Monthly Writings, In 1735, tho Aurora,
In 177b. and the Moscow Journal, in
1791. ThehO publications weie, how
ever, almost entirely literary In their
character and never ventured upo i
the dangerous ground of politics, un
less by older of tho government. Dur
ing the reign of Alexander I thu Beo
was published. This sheet was by
far tho most Important and Influential
organ of Russian public opinion dining
the flrst uuaiter of the present cen
tury. Among Its most famous contri
butors were Do Gretch and Boulgarlue,
1 Pouchklne and Lermontof.

Tho censoishlp. In every form, hnel
always existed In Hussln, but It was
never more novver fully oiuanlzed tbun
under tho reign of Nicholas I. Kvery
newspaper, every pamphlet, ev.-r
Russian or foreign book, vhether un
dent or modern, was first subjected to
tho censorship. There was even in
"upper committee of eenhors," special
ly charged with tho superivlMon of the
corps of censors. Later on, dining tbo
latter part of Czar Nicholas I'm reign,
special censorships were established.
Not only were theie ecclesiastical cen
sors, military censois, but eveiy gov
ernment department was Invested vvl l
the power of controlling every news
paper or other printed aitlcle publish
ed in which any way dealt with the
department In question.
The many tlinieulties which ltulan
authoi s met in publishing their works
resulted lu tho novel plan of collective
publication in periodical known as
"almanacks." It was In these alman
acks that llrst appeared the works of
the great national hlstoiian.Karamjine,
Pouchklne, Lermontof, Polejalef, Ry
leef, Pogodlne and others. Thc-e pub
llcatlonu had such a huccess that they
resulted In tho stalling of hcveril
monthly magazines. It was then that
appeared "The Muscovite," "The Patri
otic Annals," to which Dostolevskl and
Henren contributed. Tho -various im
pediments placed In the way of tho
Russian pi ess were of a kind to make
these monthly publications prosper
rather than the dally newspapers
On tho accession of Alexander II. all
the special jurisdiction mentioned above
was abolished. An Imperial ukao sup
pressed every "exceptional" law ugainst
the press, exception being made- only
for offenses asulnst religion Ordinary
censorship, such as exists tu other
countries, was established liibteael. It
was at this time that Katkof and Iris
friend, Piof. Leontlef, founded at Mos
cow tho Ruflan Messenger, a large
monthly levlmv. The tragic end nf
Alexander Il.'a reign (1881) put a sud
den sto: to the relative liberalism
which had existed in the matter of the
piess. The Polos, the Older, the Mos
cow Telegraph and other organs of tire
liberal party wero suppteed. The re
maining organs of the ptets became tho
mere echoes of the autocratic leglino
Inaugurated by Alexander III.
Until tho time of Kutkof's death. In
1SS8, the Moscow Ouzette continued to
be tho most lnllueiitlal dally organ In
the emplic. The principal existing dally
papers in tho empiie ut present lire the
Novole Vretrrlu (tho News Times), a
newspaper having no pullttcal opinion,
but widely read on account of ltn nblo
editorial articles aud Its well-oiganlzed
