The Winter Palace.

Take the Winter Palace, for instance, which
have said is the finest building in the world.
IL is about twice the size of the Capitol at
Washington, a square structure, fronting on
the Neva, contains 1, 200 rooms, and, 1t is said,
that i'm olden times as many as 6,OOO people,
including a guard of soldiers, have been shell
tered and fed under its roof. Tho roof itself
used to be the dwelling place of large colony
whom 10 was necessary TO keep watchmen
against fire there, and men whose business IL
was to prevent the reservoir from freezing by
casting red hot cannon balls into the tanks.
These built huts between the ohimneys OF the
great palace, had their families there, and
even raised chickens and pigs and goats nine
" feet above ground But such guards are
unnecessary now in tho age of water works
aud Ere engines.
The palaces Of the Louis at Versailles, and
Of the German Emperor at Potsdam, are much
more chaste and noble specimens OF archi-
lecture. The Queens castle at Windsor IL by
far more picturesque, the new State, War and
Navy Departments at Washington surpasses
the Winter Palace in beauty and Simple els

their extravaganza, but contributing to tho
general grandeur, There is no race OF people
who rest 70 much upon external appearances,
none who love display more, or are more
wastcfully extravagant than the russians.
The example or their sovereigns and the sys-
tenn of serfdom made them so, and their love
of luxury 10 as strong passion AS the appe-
tite in men for strong drink or gamblilg.
Therefore in Petersburg one finds more vast
ed treasure, more fortunes invested IN the
useless qualification of the tate for display,
more wicked extravaganza, than anywhere
else in the entire world. Tho visitor who has
been educated in the thrift and economy OF
the Anglo-Saxon, who has been taught that
the idle expenditure of wealth is n crime,
will be most impressed OF all things by tho
criminal excess of display in every one OF
tho long line Of palaces there is no use nor
reason for, and when'he stops TO think that
the money they havo cost has been wrung
from the degraded, desolate, and starving
poor, he can scarcely restrain his indignant
remonstrancc II spoils the pleasure of Wis

all gold, statuary, aud mirrors Nothing more
can be said. In size II is about 40 by go feet,
the window hangings are of the most exquisite
hand embroidery, presented 10 the wife of the
late Gar BY the ladies of Petersburg. The
carpet is . Persian fabric in single piece,
woven to fit the room, the gift of the Shah OF
Persia. The chandeliers are masses OF crys-
tails, holding $4,000 candles, the two manIels
at either end are of that delicate blue stone,
with gold threads running through it, the
lapis lazuli, and the doors are set with jewels,
amethysts, emeralds, turquolses, topazes, and
other stones There is not only an enormous
wealth of decoration, but in this room it is
unusually well bestowed
After passing through all these state apart
ments, the visitor Is taken to the Romanoff
portrait gallery, where are the pictures of all
the sovereigns Of the reigning houses. Peter
the Great and Catherine the Great appear a
number of times in different costumes and
poses, but that is not strange. You can
scarcely look in any direction in Russia with
out seeing a portrait of Catherine from life
and Peters pictures are comparatively numer-
Gus. 1t is said that Catherine sat for her
court portrait painters so many hours every
day, making it a rule to do so, and that she
usually took this time TO receive her ministers
One who has been through the art galleries
and palaces of Russia can easily believe the
story.

Tho Origin of Petersburg.

Ivan the Terrible conceived the idea of
erecting city on the Gulf of Finland, but it
remained for Peter the Great, the most enter
prising and progressive of all the Russian
Cars, to carry il into effect, and no did 80,
because he wanted window to look out upon
Europe"
When Peter went 10 England in his youth,
he was the first of the sovereigns to leave the
boundaries of the empire. He not only stud
led ship building in Holland, but he got
o fair idea of the worlds progress and the en-
terprse Of other nations and lie saw, on his
accession to power, that he must have some
defense on the northern boundary against
the aggressive Swedes. He began by con-
quering Finland. and then selecting the most
available site near the mouth of the Neva
River, called an army of 10000 men into
service TO subdue the swamps. Every year
40, 600 workmen we're drafted from different
parts OF his dorlinons to dig and fill, hew
stone, make bricks, aud build walls, and he
stood by as their master blu lder, superintond-
ing everything directing all the details, and
carrying out the plans Of architects that were
brought from all the other great cities oil
Europe.
Every boat upon the Neva or the Gulf of
Finland, every cart upon the highway, had to
bring TO Petersburg a certain amount OF
building material, at certain intervals, as a
tax, and every noble and property owner in
the empire had to contribute something to-
ward the construction of tho palaces. All the

to few people. He was brought here from
the scene of his assassination and died in

Before the window is small writing desk,
upon which are his portfolio, pens and paper
exactly as he left them. The plain furni-

slept for years, is in tho corner of the room,

candlestick and a prayer-book, we'll used, are
the pictures OF his wife and children Adj

which his ministers awaited an audience, aud

FRANCES T. WILLARD imperil the happiness
of the home circle, since woman carried with
her wherever she went, under any and all con-
ditions OF life, the essence Of home, which was
to her God given dover which nothing ever
could or would eradicate or eliminate.
One OF the most taking addresses 30 far made
before the council was that OF Prof. Rena A.
Michaels. Of Evanston. Ill. Her subject was
"Co-education, and in the limited time at her
disposal she only sought to discuss the social
phase OF it, The underlying thought, drawn
from experience of college life. was that the
girl made her home wherever she was, even
amid books, and that no amount OF educational
training or culture would uproot these home
instincts. The women of the West were eulo-
gized oven beyond their sisters of the East and
n neighborly tribute by Prof Michaels TO the
esteem in which Frances T.. Willard is held met
with "a hearty response.

Knights Of Labor Are Doing for Women. She
said: we are building around our working
girls a wall to defend and protect them from the

The International Council of Women has
been in session here during the week 1t was
called by the National Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation OF the United States to celebrate
the fortieth anniversary OF the first wom-
ans rights convention. The sessions were
held in Albaugh's Opera House. There were
in attendance about DO deleg ates from Ma
tional Woman's Rights Associations or kindred
societies in this and other countries About
thirty associations OF this character were rep
resented in the council which was probably
the largest gathering OF notable women
susan b. Anthony called tho council
TO order. Elizabeth Cady Stanton delivered the
address OF welcome. and, after reviewing at
some length the history OF the suffrage move
ment, she said
In calling this council We anticipated many
desirable results. Aside from the pleasure from
mutual acquaintance in meeting face TO face so
many OF our countrywomen, as we'll as those
from foreign lands, we hoped TO secure thor
ough national and international organization in
all those reforms in which we are mutually in
te:ested. To come together for n week and part
with the same fragmentary societies and clubs
would be the defeat OF half the purpose OF our
gathering"
Mrs. Stanton made the startling announce
ment that IL the rights Of women were not to
be obtained by just and fair means the result
would be that they would join hands with the
Anarchists, and the scenes Of tho French Rev
olution would be re-enacted. This dread
threat, when first uttered, was received in ST.

Interior Decorations.


The present building was erected upon tho
site of one occupied 10y tho high admiral In
the time of Peter the Great and bequeathed
by HIM to Peters son. In 1854 that was pulled
down by the Empress Anne, who commenced
the erection of tho present editce, but left II
TO be completed by the Empress Catherine In
l762. Much OF the interior was dostr Dyed by
fire in 1887, but was rebuilt, and the whole
was renewed IN its present form IN 1882 at q
cost of about 81, OC0, UOJ rubles. The palace
has been occupied during the winter by all
the cZars till the present one, who will not
live there, but keeps II for ceremonials only,
while he resides in the much smaller aud less
imposing house which he occupied while
Crown Prince on the Neyski Prospect, the
Fifth Avenue of Petersburg.
The main entrance, which, however, Is
used only on occasions of ceremony opens
from the banks of the river into magnificent
vesubule OF marble, with wide stairWays
reaching To the several halls and imperial re-
ception rooms above. The stairway Is adorn-
ed by groups OF statuary, and the long vestl-
bule, 2J0 feet by 60, presents an array Of
ideal figures in marble, rs well as statues or
the heroes or Russian history. The throne
room is q magnificent apartment OF marble,
so large that tho entire White House at Wash
ington might be erected within Its walls, and
here upon New Years Day. tie Car receives
the congratulations OF the diplomatic corps,
the high officers of the government and the
army and the mobiles. The white hall IS also
fine and large. but the most imposing room
is the Hall of st George, l4O by 81 feet in
size, and GO feet high, of marble, with a
ceiling carved aud GLUED with pure gold leaf.
There is no finer room anywhere, and il is
used only for the assembage and decoration
of heroes with the Order OF St George, the
highest the Gar can bestow, and, like the
Order of the Garter in Great Britain, dis

The Shabby Livinr-Rooms.

That portion of the palace which is fitted
up for the use OF the imperial family is not
often shown to visitors, but We were fortu-
nate in having for an escort gentleman of
official prominence in the empire, member
OF the Cars Privy Council, who was we'll
known to the attendants. and before whom
all doors flew open; so that we were enabled
to see not only the hving-rooms, the bed
chambers, but even the bathrooms and china
closets. The presence of our escort how
ever, did not cause the slightest relaxation OF
the espionage that is maintained over all who
enter the palaces and museums of Russia,
aud we were even required 10 produce an in
dorsement from the American Minister to-
gether with our passports. Our names, resi-
dences, occupation, and descriptions of our
persons were also registered by the officer
IN charge-a precaution that has been made
necessary by the inven ton of dynamite. We
were never without the attendance of two
officers, who kept closely at our heels to see
that we did not steal or destroy anything.
There have been two explosions of dynamite
in the Winter Palace, but all traces of the
damage done have been removed.
The living rooms, the only portion of the
palace that was not intended for display, were
very plain, often shabby, never better, and
often less comfortable and tasteful, than the
average residence Of the American citizen. l
noticed this peculiarly in all the dozen or
more palaces we were allowed to visit Many
OF the rooms actually in use by the imperial
family we're devo d Of what we consider the
necessaries of comfort. The apartments of
the Car and the family are on the ground
floor, and are reached by private entrance.
They have never been occupied by the pres
ent sovereign, but remain as his father left
them. The apartments in which the Grand
Duke Alexis formerly lived, before his fathers
assassination, are in the top story, under the
roof, and the only elevator in the building was
put in for his especial benefit a small contri-
vance, running up beside spiral stairway.

Peter has left TO postority, in series of
ukases, which were promulgated during the
construction OF his capital, very fair idea or
the motives and the methods OF = remark able
man and a remarkable work-the magnificent
project that in this age would seem absurd.
A monarch without technical knowledge, with
none but rude tools and poor materials and
no skilled workmen, who should undertake at
this era to erect city of palaces IN marsh,
would be considered as crazy as King Ludwig
OF Bavaria That poor fellow never under"
took anything half 80 insane 1t was an un-
dertaking that none but an sutocrat would at
tempt and none but an autocrat could
execute; but, with titanic energy and bound
less enthusiasm, he commenced and finished
the work; but his instruments were constantly
breaking in his hands; his walls crumbled,
and his foundations sunk III the mud, yet he
toiled on with a persistence and courage
that has never been equaled, recognizing his
failures, and seeing his mistakes soon enough
TO correct them, never allowing word or
dependency 10 escape himself, or permitting
an expression of Encouragement from others,
until death came and took him from the
midst OF his half-fnished city.
Everything was on the most colossal scale,
and every plan was approved by Peter before
It could be executed. He determined how
much land each noble should occupy. and how
much money he should invcsti in his residence
