On Saturday last the Czar issued a ukase dissolving the Duma or Parlia ment ; and another declaring St. Peters burg and vicinity under a state of martial-law. The city was packed with soldiers, hundreds of arrests were made, and the parliament building was closed and guarded by police who refused ad mission to all. The Czar s precipitate action was severely criticized; riots took place in Beveral cities, and the Dnma met in Viborg and issued a "manifesto" to the people of Russia. All the Russian armv officers,on leave of absence, have been ordered to return to their regiments, on account of threat ening conditions. The army is now the sole pillar of the aristocracy, and if it deserts them, they are gone. The new Premier, Stolypin, has ad dressed all the state and provincial gov ernors as follows: "In contormity with instructions re ceived from the emperor, with the view of securing fall co-operation between the different local authorities, I hereby inform you that the government ex pects you to exercise vigilant and un tiring supervision over your subordin ate so that order may be promptly and definitely restored. Disturbances must btt goppressed and revolutionary move ments must be put down by all legal means. "Tne measures you take must be carefully considered. The struggle be gun is against the enemies of societj and not against society itself. Con sequently wholesale repression cannot be approved of. Imprudent and illegal acts are likely to give rise to discontent Instead of conducing to calm and can not be tolerated. The intentions of the emperor are immutable. The govern ment firmly desires to assist in the amendment of the legal procedure and the laws hitherto enforced which no longer serve their purpose The old regime will be regenerated, but order innst be fully maintained. Yon must act on your own initiative, as vou are invested with responsibility. Firm and vigorous stops taken on these lines will •■'doubtless he upheld by the best part of society." "Pipe Line ltellcctioiiH." • Under the above heading Mr. P. C. Boyle write# the following for the Pijie Line picnic book— "In these days of political degeneracy we hear much of the so-called individ ualistic cry for a "square deal." W« have had frequent platitudes and preachments from the White House proclaiming a "'a square deal for every man" (a square meal would sound bettor;. A square deal, if it means any thing, means equal opportunities foi all. There nevor was a time when op portunity was less fettered in the oil fields than It is today, was yesterday and even twenty-five years ago, just the same. The only cause from which this industry haa suffered from the begin ning Is its extraordinary freedom in all Its branches from all manner of re straint or control. In the producing fields the square dealer typified a class accidentally endowed with new rich territory, who produce oil at a profit in seasons of depression from overloaded markets to the great distress and loss of other less fortunate persons still de pendent upon exhausted territory. In such cases the "square deafc" If it can bo interpreted as the greatest good to the larger numbers, would suggest means for the compulsory control of mere "hog" enterprise where individual success is based on disaster to the multitude. It Is a mere catch phrase, sounding and euphonious, but absolutely misleading, as is that other cutcby phrase of the demagogue—com petition." f * * * Miss Ida Tar bell, the historian of Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Co., says that success—that is the accnmu lation of vast wealth—"is the paro mount duty. It can be obtained in the highest degree only by force. At times it requires violence, cruelty, falsehood, perjury, treachery Do not hesitate at these practices. Only be sure they are necessary for the good of the business and be very careful to insist upon them always as wiae and kind and that they work together for the greatest good of the greatest number.'* THE President has ordered A great review of war-ships in Oyster Bay for September 3rd. 3. A. Kline, Esq., Democratic nom inee for Congress in Westmoreland Co. has named his conferees. AT El Paso, Texas, along the Rio Grand, street-cars were thrown from the tracks by an earthquake, last week TIIK reports of Japan's new policy in the industrial line aro creating mnch comment and some extreme deductions. It is clear that the Japanese Goverji meat is providing for the national own ership and operation of all its railroads, but inference goes much further and spreads abroad the conclusion that It is aiming at the practical concentration of industries and commerce under Gov ernment control and direction. THE case of Rossett. the Syrian leper is n humiliating commentary upon methods taken to protect the public health from contagion. When, after 2 years, it was discovered that the man, had been attacked by leprosy the West Virginia authorities, instead of placing hiui in 'juarantine until arrangements could be made for his disposal, rushed him into a passenger train to evade re sponsibility. At Cumberland he was hastily transferred to a box car in which be reached Philadelphia, only to be refused permission through official blundering orlgnoranc« to pass through that town on his way to the lepers' hos pital on North Brothers Island, New York. Returned to Baltimore he wan allowed to escajw from the car to bunt for provisions, being later recaptured and at last placed in a car fitted to sup ply his wants until he can reach New York. Sunstroke A aaastroKe is caused by excessive : heat, and especially if the weather is j muggy. It is more apt to occur on the , second, third, or fourth of a series of j hot days than on the first. Loss of sleep, worry, excitement, close sleeping rooms, debility, abuse of stimulants, predispose to it. It is more apt to at- , tack those working in sun the, especial- : ly between the hours of eleven o'clock in the morning and four o'clock in the afternoon. On hot days wear thin clothing. Have as cool sleeping rooms as possible. Avoid loss of sleep and un necessary fatigue. If working indoors and where there is artificial heat etc.) >ee that the room is well ventilated. If working in the sun, wear a straw light bat < not black, as it absorbs the heat*, etc , and put inside of it. on the head, a wet cloth or a large green leaf, frequently lift the hat from the head and see that the cloth is wet. Do not check perspiration; but drink what water you need to keep it up, as perspiration prevents the body from be ing over heated. Have, whenever pos sible, an abditional shade, as a thin umbrella when walking, canvas or board cover when working in the sun. If a feeling of fatigue, dizziness, head ache, or exhaustion occurs, cease work immediately, lie down in a shady and cool place, apply cold cloths to and pour cold water over head and neck. If any one is overcome by the heat, send im mediately forthe nearest Rood physician. While waiting for the physican, give the person cool drinks of water or cold black tea, or cold coffee, if able to swal low. If the skin is hot and dry, sponge with or pour cold water over the body and limbs, and apply to the head pound ed ice wrapped in a towel or other cloth. If there is no ice at hand, keep a cold cloth on the head and pour cold water on it, as well as on the body. If the person is pale, very faint, and pulse feeble, let him inhale ammonia for a few seconds, or give him a teaspoonful of aromatic spirits of ammonia in two tablespoonfuls of water with a little sugar.— Sci.

The issue is to be $80,000,000, and the accepted bids will average a fraction less that 1.04. One Pittsburg bank got $200,000 tit 1.04. A TREATY of peace between Guate mala, San Salvador and Honduras was signed, last Friday, on board the United •States cruiser Marblehead on the high seas off the Qnatemalan coast, aud the Commissioners of the different govern ments concerned, and the American and Mexican agents were landed at dif ferent ports, next day. AT the session of the international Parliamentary Union held in London, Monday, the Russian delegates with drew on account of the dissolution of the Duma, though urged to remain, and the English Premier shouted—''The Russian Parliament is dead, long live the Russian Parliament," and all the delegates present cheered the sentiment. THE anti-foreign movement in Mexico forces itself on the public attention. The first report* of it seemed like sen nationalizing sporadic disorders such as that at Cananea was (apposed to be. But when President Diaz finds it neces sary to warn the Governors of the Mexi can states to suppress all such out breaks and the Mexican Herald dis covers enough o£»it to editorially con demn the sentiment it must be recog nized as having a tangible existence No Water for Ship Canal. The project to build a ship canal from Lake Erie to the Ohio River is not re garded seriously in Ohio. Homer E. Stewart, a well known lawyer of War ren, Ohio, calls attention to the fact that the topography of Ohio as shown by the Government surveys la not ex actly fitted for a lake and river caoaj. Lack of water, according to Mr. Stew art. will be the great drawback in the operation of the proposed skip canal. He says: ' Lake Erie is only 064 feet above the level of the ocean, while the figures in white paint on posts and poles, made by the Government surveyors finite re cently in the vicinity of Niles, will show that the Mahoning River at that point is almost 300 feet higher, or about HfiO feet above sea level. There fore, instead of draining Lake Erie, if a canal could be act deep enough to carry it throngh the •nmuaU in Ashtabula county, the Mahoning river would have about :SOO feet fall and would run into Lake Erie instead of the Ohio; that is in very wet weather, for in dry weather the people of Yonngstown will testify, very little water now reach*s Yonngs town. only nine miles from Niles. and, if carried to Lake Erie, about fifty miles from Niles, it would all evaporate or be absorbed by the banks before reaching the lake. "In the vicinity of Lisbon, on the Little Beaver, or of Minerva, on the Sandy, will be seen the remains of a very well constructed canal, known as the Sandy and Beaver Canal, built at large expense over sixty years ago, through whiwk, it is said, one boat wax dragged by enough tenuis to make np for the want of the water amadnA to float the boat, for which the engineers had not made ne winch provision as for their salaries; but thergi Id probably no one living now who ever saw a boat nsed there. "So the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal from Pittsburg to Cleveland, built at large expense over a route pointed ont by General Washington as probably aviiable for commerce, passing the watershed at the old Indian portage near llaveona. where the Cnyahoga Ri ver could be and jva» carried over the summit by a dam in bfealpruyille. died for want of water thirty su yearo Appendicitis. A well known Philadelphia doctor lately asserted that the biting of finger nails is the chief cause of the majority of cases of appendicitis that are operat ed on daily at the yarions hospitals Nothing is more likely to cauoe the an pendix to become inflamed and «ub sequently perforated than the hard pieces or uails bitten off the ends of flngars and swallowed In one hospital In Philadelphia in one week there were nine persons operated upon for ap pendicttis, and seven were caused by the biting of the finger nails And u famous French physician uays that it is caused by a parasite. "Ap pendicitis, when not the consequence of the accidental swallowing of some hard oiilrttance, is undoubtedly caused by the parasites to be found In cabbagen, turnips, cauliflowers and carrots, that have been forced my manures or water ed by contaminated well and spring water."
