The meeting has been flooded with pro... clamations from Radical organisations, one of which, coming from Social Revolution, Aries, offered support, if the Zemstvos up. hold the principles of the memorial it had adopted.
The following message, signed by 26 prominent Finlanders, was also received -
The undersigned citizens of Finland, interested in the evolution of the social and intellectual life of Russia, send their cordial, galutations to the Zemstvo representatives now assembled in St. Petersburg, to study the general circumstance which prevent re- gular development of Russian life. that the Government has
just
proclaimed confidence in the people the development · of their moral, intellectual and social forces is henceforth opened to the powerful and generous Russian genius.
We wish you complete success in your work of peace and concord, and hope it will redound to the glory and happiness of your country.'
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 24. The Interior Minister, Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky, went to the Tsarako-Selo Palaco to-day to present a Zemstvo memorial for greater liberties to Emperor Nicholas,
Two incidents have occurred, both of which militate against the Liberals and in- crease the difficulty of Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky's position. Prince Mestiohorsky, Editor of the Grashdanin, who is head of the reactionary Press, this morning un- masked his batteries, attacking the Interior Minister in such a fashion for his Liberal tendencies that Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky, for the first time since he assumed the Ministry, ordered the confiscation of the issue. In the strength of the influence. behind such an attack lies the real signifi- cance of Prince Mestichersky's act.
At the same time, from the opposite direction the Nasha Ziem (Our Life), » nsy Radical paper, authorised by Minister Sviatopalk Mirsky, indulged in a direct attack on the Emperor, with the result that the Minister ordered the suspension of the publication. The action of this pa per is considered to be very unfortunate, as it places a powerful weapon in the hands of Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky's enemies.
Many of the Minister's friends are incli- ned now to believe that the Zemstvos went too far and have jeopardised the position of their best friend.
The meeting of the Zemstroists ended. yesterday and the members have dispersed to their homes. In a few days the ne
news of their action will be spread throughout Rus as, from the Finnish Gulf to the Caspian Ses, from Poland to the Ural Mountains.

and literary mou and the Z mstspista the greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and the fullest support was pledged to the pra» gramme adopted.
Prince Sviutopolk-Mirsky informed the Zemstvoists that he would lay the memorial resolutions before the Emperor, and while
he made no promisia regarding his porn Special
recommendations, the Zemstvoists were satisfied the Prince would not leave the Emperor in the dark regarding the breadth,” strength, and import of the movement,
Thero is an intimation that the Emperor had already been advised of the netion of the mearing and had expressed himself as unfavourable to it.
AN ALLEGED ROMANCE,
The Kobe Chronicle publishes the follow- ing extract from a San Francisco paper, intorest those who wit- which will nossed the beautiful sorpenting dances of the charming Carmencela. It is handed, **Died for Love of Serpentino Dancer"-
For the love of protty Carmencella, & French serpentine dancer, the detectives declare, Sherman Harris took his life. *Harris was found in his room at the Oaks Flotel, 129 Third Street, recently. in a semi-conscious state. At the Cen- tral Emergency Hospital he was revived for a monent, during which he told the sur- geons that he had taken opium, but whether ho dil so with suicidal intent, he was too work to explain.
...
For two years Harris has been the man- ager of a theatrical company, which has been touring the Orient. In the company was a pretty dancer, known to the public as Carmencella, to whom Harris was very much attached. Their relations continued pleasant until Shanghai was reached after a sEccessful visit to the Antipodes In the Chinese seaport Carmencolla deserted Har- ris for a wealthy Englishman. Harris pleaded in vain for her to return, but the wealth and position of her new suitor prove ed more attractive than the humblo ludg ings of Harris. For a time Harris tried to forget, hut old scones kept the image of Carmoncella still before him. Finally he decided to quit the Orient and return to his former home in Chicago. He took passage on the steamer Stapley Dollar, ' arriving here on October 19.
The story is says the Chronicle, interesting, but we doubt its authenticity. For one
thing, there are overal errors in the par- agraph. Carmencella was not. French, but American. She did not tour in the Auti- podes after leaving Japan, but remained in Shanghai. The wealthy Englishmaan is, wo believe, a fiction. And, finally, Mr Harris is not as dead as there represented, for so far from having committed suicide in San Francisco on the 5th November, he was in Osaka a fortnight or three weeks ago and is now on the Pacific on board an American transport, upon which he obtained a pas. sage, Carmencella is still at Shanghai, but does not wear that name in private life. Possibly the paragraph is connected with an advertisement scheme, and may herald à reappearance in America of this bright particular star.

CHARLES FORDE'S BILE BEANS.
WHAT THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY DO.
SCIENTISTS have for a long time been
Aware of the great superiority of vegetable medicines over those containing mineral poisons; and some years back, Mr- Cirrles Fale, an eminent scientist, con .ceived the idea of so utilising the essences of certain Australian plants that their well- known healing properties might be made useful to modern man. Bong and enre- ful investigation and experiment, he st last gained the knowledge required. He found himself the discoverer of a natural vegetable substance which acted on the liver and digestive organs directly and more effectively than any medicine known. The best laboratories, the most modern plant, and all that science dictated as being best. for the purpose was requisitioned in the compounding of this substance into con- venient medicine form, and the result of it all was the production a few a years back of the most perfect medicine of modern times. This medicine was produced in the form of small beans, which being prepared for action on the liver, were called Bile Beans."
Being the product of recent science, Bile Beans, on their first appearance. ex- perienced hard fight of science versus quackery, but the issue was soon decided, by the public, with the result that Bile Beans began to rapidly displace the old. imperfect, and in some cases harmful medicines, which have been in use for fifty or sixty years, and which, like all old forms, are behind the times, and cor- respondingly imperfect. Most of these remedies contain bismuth iron or some harmful animal or mineral substance, and if taken in quantities, produce evila worse than those they may temporarily relieve. Bile Beans, without the slightest discomfort prompt the liver and digestive organs to act in nature a normal way, leaving those organs strengthened and stimulated to continue the performance of their duties without farther assistance.

To think of progress as a certainty is a splendid and superstition-the animated of all superstitione, if you like, yet a superstition still.. It is a kind of fatalism -radiant, confident, and infinitely hope- ful, yet fatalism still, and, like fatalism in all its other forms, inevitably dangerous to the effective sense of individual responsi bility.
For faith in progress, for principles of society based upon that faith, the common I European nuine has been Liber .lism. am not sure that, though the mood and the thing are the very, life-blood of America, the name has a place in the standard and authentic currency of your vocabulary.
Liberalism is a word with many shades of meaning; it is a volume of many chapters, it has undergone a thousand vicissitudes in purpose and aspiration. If some his torian were to undertake the story of Liberalism, where should he begin?

Are you easily worried and the use of spirits or beer or tes excite the annoyed over trifles? Are the feet and hands cold? Circulation bad? Do the feet and legs swell? Is there a puffiness under the eyes? Do you have rheumatism, poor ayesight, headaches and bickaches? Is there gravel, or any unnatural action of the kidneys? Too much or too little urine? Milky or cloudy uzine?
If you have any of the above Bуmp- toms, your kidneys are either clogged or diseased, and these symptoms are warnings of more serious trouble to follow-Bright's disease, Dropsy, or Diabetes.
Whatover you do, whatever you think your disease is, look well to your kidneys at the first sign of anything wrong. Give them just the aid they require, in Doan's backache kidney pills, the great Quaker kidney medicine, and see how well and fit you feel after even a few doses. Their effect is marvellous and lasting.
Doan's backache kidney pills are a certain cure for all forms of kidney trouble. They instantly relieve the congested, overworked kidneys, and gradually bring them back to
health. Their whole action is on the kid- neys and bladder-not on the bowls-ond by doing one thing they do that one thing well,
For 72 years Doan's backache kidney pills have been in use, and they are the first medicine in the world for kidney and bladder troubles.
