The Russian Minister of Ways of Commu nication has issued a series of regulations for the settlement of disputes between passengers on railroad trains in regard to the right to close or open the windows. The rules are five in number, of which the first lays down the law that all windows are to be closed in winter time, while the carriage is being warmed. The second modifies this during the rest of the year, passengers having the right then to demand 2,395,428 the opening of the windows if the temperature 999,445 is not lower than 55 degrees. When this temperature is attained the stoves must be lighted and the windows kept hermetically closed. Rule No. 3 states that on the mercury rising above 55 degrees Fahrenheit, all the windows 1881. in the carriage may be opened, subject, how222,159 ever, to the "unanimous approval of all the pas418,119 sengers present." Should there be a "side 296,064 wind" all the windows on the windward side 284,306 are, by Rule 4, to be kept closed, and a demand may be made for the general opening of the $1,729,368 windows on the other side of the carriage. Finally, by Rule 5, the Minister orders that, in all quarrels between passengers regarding car$8,067,015 riage windows, the head guard is to be applied to, and his decision is to be binding on all concerned. $508,720 6,337,647 1881. $412,723 228,982 551,404 In returning a receipted bill to Pratt & Co., 270,006 advertising agents, Ninth and Arch streets, Philadel223,726 phia, recently, we took occasion to say: Many thanks for prompt remittance.
