The defeat of the revolutionary movement In Russia has produced a state of chaos in tho life of that country which Is felt In all classes. Deceived In tholr hopes, the people of the Czar seem to have abandoned themselves to despair. The flower of Russian youth, who but a short time ago were ready to lay down their lives at the altar of liberty, have turned to strange ways not tholr own. Cut off from the possibility of living for lofty Ideals, they have precipitated themselves, like maddened, disappointed lovers, into a life of debauchery. At the present time they are forming free love leagues, in place of underground and terrorist societies; and Instead of endeavoring to destroy the forces of reaction, they are seeking to stifle their unavailing moral sense In Saturnalian revels.

This new spirit is already finding expression in Russian literature. The Russians, being great readers, must perforce have literary representatives for whatever aspect their life temporarily assumes. Unable for awhile to discover In Russia an author who would fulfil all the necessary qualifications, they turned to Germany, and to Frank Wedeklnd. the glorifler of sensuality. But now there has arisen a Russian author with a message of the required sort.

His name is Artzbashey, and he has written an astounding novel entitled "Sanin." This author, whose bold apotheosis of the flesh might excite the Jealousy even of Wedeklnd. is now all the rago In Rus sia. Everybody seems to be reading ba-nln." It has had such an enormous drf culatlon that the Russian government has grown alarmed for the morality of the country, and for the first time has put its ban upon a literary work not because of Its political heresies, but because of Its Immorality. The hero of the book, Sanln. not content with exemplifying this carnal principle In his own life, raises It.

to a general doctrine which ho preaches to the world as a new gospel. Current Literature. THE GREAT SHOSHONE DAM. A Great Structure That Is Going Up In Northwestern Wyoming. Of several great storago dams at present under construction by the Reclamation Service perhaps the most strikingly Interesting are the three high masonry dams known as the Shoshone, the Pathfinder and the Roosevelt, says Henri V.

Lcmenager, in the American Review of The highest of these, the one in fact that will be distinguished as the highest dam In the world, Is being built in the canyon of the Shoshone River in northwestern Wyoming, six miles west of the town of Cody, so named after Colonel W. F. Cody, better known as "Buffalo Bill." The Shoshone, or tho Stinking Water River, as It was originally named, because of the occurrence along its course of Bprlngs giving off noxious gases, rises In northwestern Wyoming in the spurs of the eastern slope of the Great Continental Divide, known as the Absoraka and Shoshone ranges. The drainage basin of the river above the Shoshone dam is about 1,300 square miles In extent, varies In altitude from 5.000 to 12.000 feet, includes many high peaks within the Yellowstone National Park, and Is remarkable for Its wild and rugged scenery. The region is one of heavy snowfall.

Is well timbered, and. pursuant to the wise national policy of forest preservation, la Included almost entirely within tho great Yellowstone National Forest. Just below where the two main forks of tho river join is a narrow and deep canyon, the almost perpendicular granite walls of which rise to a height of several hundred feet. Through this gigantic rrark in tho solid rock the melting snows of the entire watershed Just described find tholr only exit, carrying to waste during the annual flood season of a few weeks sufficient water to reclaim many thousands of acres of the desert lands of lower altitudes. Within this canyon, at a point of almost Ideal natural advantages.

Is being molded Ihe Bolld wedge of concrete which is to be known as the Shoshone dam. The height of this towering structure when rompleted will be 3254 feet from lowest foundation to crest, its length at the top from wall to wall of the canyon about feat, and its thickness at tho base los feet. In plan the dam is of tho arched type, wherotn stability Is secured by means of the form as well as tho volume of the structure. The apex of the arch being turned up stream to resist the pressure of the Impounded waters, and tho foundation and abutments literally dovetailed into tho solid granite, the completed structure will form a concreto monolith of Imposing proportions as well as tremendous strength and stability. POVERTY OF BRITISH CRITICISM No British critic, from the sixteenth century to the twentieth, says Brander Matthews, In tho Forum, can be credited with any important contribution to the theory of criticism.

No British critic has ever advanced the art by fertilizing generalizations such as we cannot help finding In Suintn-Beuve, In Talne. and in Hrutietlere. Each of these suggestive critics may hold his original theory a littlo too firmly and he may work it a little too hard: but the theories themselves had. every one of them, a core of truth; and the art of criticism profited by all of ihem. European criticism, taken as a whole, lies beeo advanced by the theories contributed by Sainte-Bctivo.

Talne and Hrunetiere, whereas It would be very much what it Is now if Coleridge and Matthew Arnold had never written a line. Influential as Ihese two authors were undoubtedly In elevating the crit-Iclam of the English language. To say this, is to say again what these two volumes of seventeenth century critical essays edited by Professor Spingarn make plain; that is. that the genius of English literature is creative rather than critical. The stock that speaks the English language has essential energy in abundance an energy which transmutes Itself Into imagination and which expresses Itself most amply and most nobly in poetry.

Indeed, this essential energy Is a little Intolerant of restraint and It is a little inclined to resent the curbing imposed by any critical theory. A SMILE FF.OM A STRANGER. Most of us owe debts of gratitude to strangers whose kindly smile has sent sunshine into our aching hearts, and has given us courage when we were disheartened, says Success Magazine. It is a great thing to go through life with a smiling face. It costs little, but who can ever estimate Its value? Think how the pleasure of life ould be Increased if we met smiling faces everywhere--faces whirh radiate hope, sunshine and cheer! What a Joy It would be to travel In a gallery of living pictures radiating hope and courage! Who can estimate what beautiful, smiling fates mean to the wretched and the downcast those whoso life burdens are crushing them? Many of us carry precious memories of smiling faces which we glimpsed Dot once, but whose sweet uplifting expression will remain with us fotever.

We have the idea that our American railroads kill mnny passengers, says Orlando F. Lewis in the Atlantic' Yet almost ten trespassers are killed to every passenger killed.

Wo believe that the trainman takes his life in his hands; yet more than twice as many trespassers annually sustain fatal accidents. When we read that in five years 23,974 trespasser were killed by railroads, and 25,236 trespassers injured, we wonder that there should bo left living a single Jack the Hobo to wash his shirt. In these five years there were more trespassers killed than there are inhabitants in Bangor, or Burlington, Vt. Were this army of the dead lying but three feet apart along the trackside In ghastly regularity, they would stretch out for nearly four teen miles. At a brisk walk, It wouU take four hours to reach the end of th line.

And then, were all those reported injured in the last five years lying but threo feet apart, we should be obliged to walk for more than four hours more, before we reached the end of this second line. The Baltimore and Ohio representative said that many -railroads maintain private "tramp graveyards," In which are burid many of the unknown dead, without Inquest, and with expedition. Question: How many city graveyards could be annually filled with the unrecorded, unreported vagrant dead? ENGLISH "POLITICIANS." There are many men in this country, says Edward Porritt, in the Atlantic, who would resent being described as politicians; who would regard such a designation as derogatory to their dignity and social standing. In England no man or woman who is known to be interested in political questions would in the least resent being spoken of as a politician. Few English people to-day recall.

If they ever knew, Dr. Arnold's dictum that, the desire to take an active share in the great work of government, is the highest earthly desire of a ripened mind. But there are people beyond count in England. In all walks of life, with whom Interest in politics is as Intense and as continuous as it was with Dr. Arnold.

Tens of thousands of these people have no expectation of ever being of the House of Commons, or even of a municipal council. Politics are chiefly an intellectual interest with them, put into active exercise only when they go to the polls. But no man or woman in England ever apologizes for being a politician; Just as no one in this country ever apologizes for being of a Browning or a Dante society, or for a love of music. TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD. Albert was a solemn-eyed, spiritual-looking child.

"Nurse." he said one day. leaving his blocks and laying his hand gently on ber knee, "nurse, is this God's day?" "No. dear," said his nurse, "this is not Sunday. It is Thursday." "I'm so sorry." he said, sadly, and went back to his blocks. The next day and the next, in his serious manner he asked the same question, and the nurse tearfully said to the cook, "That child is too good for thi world." On Sunday the question was repeated, and the nurse with a sob in her voice, said.

It is a notorious fact that the policyholders la life Insurance companies, as a rule, manifest the greatest indifference regarding matters that vitally affect their interests in their policies. This was made especially apparent at last year's hotly contested election of directors In tho great mutual companies, when the most strenuous efforts of the companies and of those opposed to them, utterly failed to bring out the vote of even a majority of the policyholders. On other occasions the managers of companies have solicited the co-operation of their policyholders to defeat some hostile legislation In some state, but their entreaties fell upon deaf ears. During the past two years, when vicious measures have been ponding in various legislatures, threatening the business of the companies, and Increasing the burdens carried by the policyholders, the Association of Life Insurance Presidents has appealed In vain to those whose Interests were Imperiled for assistance In presenting their side of the question to members of the Legislature. The Association of Life Insurance Presidents was organized for the purpose of meeting proposed hostile legislation and instructing legislators regarding the In-Jury to policyholders that was threatened by the pending bills.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland was at the head of this association, and he, assisted by ex-Assemblyman Cox of New York, addressed various legislative committees and presented able arguments to show why tho policyholders should be protected rather than harassed by Increased requirements and burdens, nominally Inimical to the companies, but really disastrous to tho policyholders. They also Issued stirring appeals to policyholders, asking for their Influence In reaching the law makers and presenting the subject In its proper light. Ex-President Cleveland is quoted as saying that he never encountered such apathy and indifference among men whose Interests were at stake aa was displayed by the policyholders of the companies that were the objects of so much hostile legislation. They did nothing to aid those who were seeking to protect them, and by their Indifference rather encouraged the opposition. It is difficult to account for such apathy, except upon the theory that men insure their lives at the solicitation of agents and look to the companies to enforce proper measures for their protection.

Occasionally a policyholder Is found who takes a lively Interest in the affairs of the company In which he is insured, and also in the general welfare of the business as a whole. Such a one is F. H. Davis, vice president of the First National Bank of Omaha. He recently settled a policy be had long carried in the New York Life, and writea to the company expressing his entire satisfaction with the settlement, although the result Is not quite up to the expectations held out to him when he took the policy.

Regarding this he writes: "I am satisfied that the principal reason for this depreciation Is the natural reduction in Interest rates; hence the lessening power of the securities in which my money has been invested by the company. This condition was inevitable. Another, and a greater cause, I attribute to the excessive taxation of insurance companies by the various states; and in this particular I wish to state that I am surprised that the officers of the great Insurance companies of this country do not thoroughly enlighten their policyholders. If the policyholders knew of the excessive taxes which they are paying, I feel confident that they would use their best efforts with the mombers of the various legislatures from time to time to bring about a reduction of the same. I am informed that the excessive amount collected from the policyholders of ihe insurance companies by tho various States, over the actual cost of maintaining their several insurance departments, aggregates many millions of dollars per annum." The above facts have been presented to the policyholders repeatedly, but their indifference continues, with the result that they are robbed year after year by the states that should be watchful of their interests.

These taxes upon economy and thrift are unreasonable, not to say outrageous, and should be done away with. Could the policyholders in all the companies be aroused to the injustice of discrimination and induced to use their Influence with their legislatures, co-operating with the companies, a remedy would soon be found for the evil. The Spectator. (Lifo Insurance.) KEEP NOBODY OUT! 1 know of a case where another church of my own denomination ruthlessly excommunicated a young woman who had been deceived and had allowed herself to be robbed of the dearest of her possessions in life, says the Rev. Charles S.

MaeFarland. Ph. D-, in the Homiletic Review. Was that the attitude of the Master or of the Pharisee? I once heard a minister preach a sermon on the church, In which he declared with great emphasis and a sense of righteous indignation that we must have what ho called "a regenerate church." He said that we must have "quality and not quantity." In answer, I told him I did not want a regenerate church so much as I did a regenerating church. Upon one occasion a man came to me and confessed his weakness.

He was under the control of an awful appetite. Ho wanted me to help him. I said: "Let mo be your pastor, come into the warm and helpful fellowship of our church; we will try to help you." He snld: "I may fall, I rannot trust myself." "Very well, if you rail we will try to lift you up, even though It be seventy and seven times." A few days after, a well Intending Pharisee from a neighboring church came to warn me against receiving this frail member. I referred him to Matthew lxll-13. These Instances, which might be Indefinitely multiplied, all reveal false conceptions.

If wo are to follow Christ, there Is only one attitude for us to take. The church. can not adopt a policy of protection: she must have a free and open market- She must have no restriction of Immigration to her shores. She can require no certificate of moral standing, no guaranty of moral health; she can have nothing but an open door. POVERTY AND LUXURY.

Poverty and luxury these are the dls-. ases of our industrial regime, to the cure of which the socialists offer their Ineffectual remedy Ineffectual since the population of the United States Is made up of ninety million individuals, some of horn will be forever on the verge of bankruptcy, however groat their income, and ionis frugal and always carrying their account on the. right side of the balance sheet, however small their annual allotment of wealth, writes J. Lincoln. In the Atlantic.

Poverty and luxury twin diseases sapping the life of society the one destroying ambition by withholding sufficient t.oujiaimont to the body; the other rendering men worthless to society by a of the good things of life. Poverty Is a disease not Indigenous to our American soli It, Is a plague brought in by immigrant ships from worn-out Kurupe. and the patients are cured here by me thousands.

Happ, the old Democratic war horse of Eatst New York, which is now tho Twenty-sei on Apscmhly District. has come out In support of th MiCarren ticket handed by Hobert F. Craig, was In the naturo of a political bombshell. is the most serious defection that James P. Sinnott.

the present leader nf the district, has suffered since Craig announced his intention to contsat his leadership at the September primaries. Mr. Happ personally informed Senator McCarren one day this week that he would support tho Craig tltkoi. and tho senator Is now confident that his forces will have very llttlu trouble in ending the Sinnott regime In tho district. Even Mr.

Sinnott's friends admit that it wns a solar plexus blow that he never expected, and, ns Mr. Happ has always held the balance of power in the district, they ai knowledge that the situation which confronts Mr. Sinnott is a most serious one. In speaking of his defection from the Sinnott forces, Mr. Happ sail lhat the issue was not between Sinnott and Craig, bu: the preservation of the integrity of the party In Kings County as nu independent organization against the attempted Invasion of Tammany Hall.

He said that he was for the principle of home rule first, last and all the time, and that Mr, Sinnott's action In attempting to deliver the district to the agents of Boss Murphy was diametrically opposed to that principle. "I believe we can conduct the affairs of our own organization without any dictation or interference from Tammany Hall, and that should be an Issue of every Democrat In Brooklyn," said Mr. Happ. Mr. Happ assured Senator McCarren during their interview that the Democrats in the Twenty-second Assembly District would repudiate Sinnott's a--tion and that from now on until the close of the polls on primary day would do his utmost to bring about that result.

Among tho political barters It Is easily understood why Sinnott regards the de-'ction of Mr. Happ so seriously. Mr. lapp was the only man in the district who came within 75 votes of retiring him to private life a few years ago. The vote was so (lose that it was not until midnight that Mr.

Sinnott heaved a sigh of relief. Tt was the closest shave he had ever experienced, and he lost no time In making peace with Mr. Happ ami his organization rather than run the risk of a primary contest the following year. Sinnott's opponents declare that his only motive in deserting McCarren was due to a strange idea that ho would eventually be selected as the county leader in McCarren's place. Although once opposed to Patrick F.

Lynch In the adjoining Twenty-third Assembly District, Mr. Sinnott is very anxious to save Lynch from defeat at the romine1 primaries. These two Assembly districts make up the Tenth Senatorial District and Mr. Sinnott Is fearful thnt If Lynch is beaten ho may lose control of ths senatorial convention. There Is a list of other grievances against, his leadership.

The followers in the Craig ramp called him "the great claimer." That iB said to be due a failing on his part to claim credit for everything thnt is done In the way of favors in the district. Many things have been or would have been dono for various individuals If Mr. Sinnott had done nothing. Nevertheless, his opponents say that he always bobbed up serenely to claim the credit for them. Betting on the outcome of the fight was in favor of Sinnott.

but since Mr. Happ's defection became known the odds are on Craig. OFFICER WAS SCORED. Magistrate Steers Criticised Policeman Who Arrested Bartender at 1:20 This Morning. Magistrate Steers.

In the Flat bush court, to-day, scored Policeman Hersoh-witz, of the Ninth Inspection District, when he appeared as complainant against Henry Elmlger, a bartender for Charles J. Walter, proprietor of the Bedford Rest Hotel, at East'rn Parkway and Bedford avenue, whom he charged with violating the liquor tax law. Herschwitz went to the hotel at 1:20 o'clock this morning and arrested Elmigcr for keeping open after hours. The policeman, who was in plain clotheB was accompanied by another policeman similarly atiired. They entered the saloon, the complainant said, and were served with two glasses of beer, for which they paid 10 cents.

"Well." said the magistrate, when the policeman appealed against the defendant, "this seoms to be a new kind of complaint, and one I don't remember having to deal with before. Mr. Policeman, I firmly believe that there is plenty of real police work for you to do, such as arresting murderers and other criminals, without wasting your time on such foolish arrests as this. This looks peculiar, indeed, arresting a man for being open twenty minutes after the hour. If you had waited a reasonable tlmo it would have been different, but twenty minutes!
