WAS A PETTY DICTATOR.
After dissolutIon of the Russian Par-
liament, powers little short of those of
a petty dictator were conferred upon
Prefect of Police Von der Launitz.
Some idea of his activity may be
gathered from figures which he caused
to be published on Dec. 28 last. It, was
then announced that the "Flying Sec-
tion of the Secret Police" had made 588
arrests In St. Petersburg during the
three days preceding Dec. 29. The pris-
oners, who encluded 33 women, were
charged with "revolutionary activity
and illegal election agitation." It was
added that further arrests and searches
were Proceeding vigorously.
On Nov. 14 last von der Launitz, act-
ing, it is said, under a hint from a high-
ee authoilty, dispersed a•meetIng of con-
stitutional Democrats in St. Petersburg,
which he himself had previously sanc-
tioned.
SUPPRESSED THD RUSS.

• BOUND TO CHAIRS AND ROBBED.
A despatch from St. Petersburg says:
A sensational outrage was cormnitted
Ly terrorlste at 4 o'clock on Friday af-
ternoon on the Nevski Prospeet, in the
centre of St. Petersburg, Four young
men entered the fiat of Gen. Stchepkin,
who was Governor of Siberia under the
liberal regime of Alexander II. They
seized Um general and hts aged wife,
bound them to chairs, and demanded
that the general hand over his money
tor the "cause." Both the general and
his wife became unconscious. The ter-
rorists then broke open a desk and se-
cured 1,500 roubles ($750). A mald-ser-
vent raised an alarm, and the robbers
attempted to escape. One, who was
seized, immediately shot himself dead.
Gen. Stchepkin, whn is an ectogen-
arian, has ,for the last 20 years devoted
himself to visiting prisons and relieving
the -prisoners. lie became known as the
"John Howard'' of Russia. He is the
father of Prof. Stchepkin, a prominent
Constitutional Democrat, who was a
member of the last Douma. One of his
daughters was exiled to Siberia because

Hints.
PLUMAGE FOR HATS.
You may trim your bat with almost
aything under the sun in the shape ef
feathers and still be in fashion, but if
you want to be distinctly up -to -dale
you will aim -at long, sweeping .eftents.
These may be attained with ostrich
plumes, with osprey plumes, with birds
of paradise, with coque feathers, with
aigrettes and even with wings.
.; Never have ostrice feathers been worn
P; more than now. The bedraggled, tin-
` curled plume that threatened us a lit-
' Ile earlieredn the season is waning in
pcpularity. If you buy an ostrich plume
'now you Will buy it curled, and you
will also choose it in a plain color, as
the shaded effects are ceasing to please.
A long•ostrich plume, of good quality
" in black. or..,whIle, is a good investment
for any woman. Her hat adorned with
it this wInter is sure to be in good
otyle, ane these plumes will admit 61
almost endless redyeing and cerling.
Beautiful plumes conic in all the stand-
ard colare-brown, navy blue, green and
gray. There is a fascinating shade,
known by the milliners as "taupen.
which is somewhere between af castor,
and a gray, and harmonizel beautifully
with the London smoke gown's.
Two new colors in Sal plumage that
are finding preat favor in feminine eyns
are the leordeaux, which is a pretty
6hade of garnet, end an eequisite pale
blue, which is called "ciel." An entire
hat ts sometimes built of one of these
colors. but With the woman whose tastes
are cenventional a black hat with a
touch of either meets with greater fav-
or.
Iridescent breasts, wings and bird
heads are very much liked for many
hats. Indeed, (hie seems to be a sea•
son when the sombre in millinery finds
little plea,. Flowers. e.specially roses,
are comb:net! constantly with feathers.
One very stunning black velvet hat was
crowned with black ostrich plumes and
had red velvet roses uneer the brim to
rest upon th, Nvearer's hair.

What is known 'as the hrcnze or natur-
al tint is new Ilits year and very much

Quills still hold their own for the
simple Mine rend no wonder! There is
a well•deserved populurity. The tuieey
centributes many a quill to the millin-
er's store, and his contributions are
dyed almost any color.
Breasts have an importnnt place In

JEWELRY AND ACCESSORIES.
A little, hat is not complete without
the optional trimming that can
be added In a pr'r of hat pins. Natural
flower pins in enamel exactly imitating
the flower in color are again fashionable,
made so by the copies of the /ovely
czar violet. A particularly large blos-
som tells the observer at once that this
is one of the new "czar blossoms."
Other new heads look like Dresden
china, and In Lite rage for big knobsnot
only tortoise shell imitation- but. deli.
cate colored glass is popular and can
be used with charming taste in their
shadings with different colors of mil-
linery.
Bridge bags and fans and a glove
purse so tiny that It hardly seems big
enough for a dime, although it will
crowd In several and can be Coaxed to
hold a 'nickel, are among the things
faeltionable as holiday novelties.
The bridge bags are in two sizes, one
quite a small sack Intended only to hold
money, and the other a long bag Into
which a little farneen be slipped. Sandal-
wood fans are again fashionable and
are sold with gauze mounts painted by
hand. Another new form of fan is one
that is covered with coat of mail sequins
that, flash brilliantly. They are of "ser-
pent" shades of green, white, gray and
rose colnr.

the serpent bracelet is tnede in large
size of flexible gold. To it, have been
added serpent rings, and for muff
chains there Ls nothing smarter than
flexible gold evith the head of the ser-

Another pretty new fancy is a jeweled
hook and eye made to attach to 'he back
