after spending a week or two in the IN

Yellowstone park aud a ride across the
Rockies to the Golden Gate. Both are fine
looking young fellows, and as heirs pros
pec.ive to the throne of the greatest Of
European powers, they viii be the recipients
Of marked attentions, both social and
official during their stay. The Grand
Duke Nicholas is 81 years OF age. When a

Maud of Wales, the youngest of the three
daughters OF the British heir-apparent. The
future czareyna is an exceedingly pretty,
accomplished, and amiable girl. and is said
to be the beauty of the family. Unless
meanwhile, strained relations between the
two empires should cause the breaking Off
of the match, the nuptials will probably be
celebrated in st. Petersburg with the pomo

The czarowitz, who, in the order OF sue

the Russian army, while Prince George, his
17-year-old brother and the second son OF
the present emperor, is attached to the i'm

BIG FEES TO PHYSICIANS.

What is believed to be the largest fee ever
paid to physician iE a single case was paid
by J. NJ. Flagler, one of the STANDARD Oil
kings, TO DR.. g. G. Sheldon.
A dearly beloved daughter of Mr.. Flagler,
who afterward died while cruising on a
yacht in southern waters about year ago.
was lingering between life and death.
There was not more than two or three
chances out of 100 that she would ever be
able to leave her bed alive. The devoted
frther announced that, if DR.. Sheldon could
relieve the suffering of his child and aid her
IN recovering he would give him the largest
fee that was ever paid a physician. Miss
Flager rallied, and Fl lally was able to leave
her bed, and in the course of time was sutfi-
GENTLY strong to drive out. The young
heiress to several millions lived to enjoy her
great wealth for long time after this, and
DR.. Sheldon was presented with $3.50 900
worth of stock in the Standard Oil Company.
DR.. W. II. White, who is the family ply
stefan Of the Vanderbilt family, IA another
of the highly fortunate of our medical men.
The money in fees that he has received
from this family alone would make him in-
dependent DIR. White has been nrese nted
from time to time with blocks of Vanderbilt
securities as an evidence of the milonaire's
regard for his medical skill. Thus is the
doctor enabled to indulge his hobby of buy
ingsthe most valuable kind Of furs.
DR.. John p. Mum, who is engaged to
look after the health of Jay Gould and his
family. is another fortunate physician.
MIR. Gould is great man for consulting a
doctor on the slightest provocation, and
some of his friends wonder that he is alive
because he takes so much medicine
could not learn that Mr.. Gould ever paid
any extraordinary fee, like Mr.. Flagler,
but gentleman who saw a check from Mr.
Gould 80 his physician said it was for
$4,000, and it was drawn shortly after the
death OF Mrs Gould.
Mr.. Gould PSI. business associate, Russell
Sage, hear pays his physician by the year,
and Mr.. Sage makes sure that his doctor
earns his salary.
DIR. F0rdyce Barker is the medical attend
ant of the Aston family, and tine fees he re-
ceives from them alone could be divided by
two and then considered a handsome in-
come for first-class doctor in a small city.
john Jacob Aston, many years ago, had an
operation performed by the late DR.. Agnew
in return for which he presented bis che OK
for $4,000.
Judge Henry Hilton, who has the reputa-
ton of being the most liberal giver OF any
of Gotham's millionaires, presented his
physician with valuable house and lot Oh

THE PURCHASE OF ALASKA

1t Brought Russian Fleet Here at q
Critical Time of tho War
Chief Justice Paxson, at the dinner given
by the Clover Club of Philadelphia, Thurs
day evening, March 20, to Charles Emory
Smith. the new Unitsd States minister to
Russia, gave the members a genuine sur
prise in his speech when, after wishing the
new minister godspeed, he unfolded a page
OF civil war history by relating some De.
tails about the sale of Alaska by the Rus
sian government to the United States.
THE United States paid $1,000 900 in
gold for this then regarded worthless and
barren country" said Judge Paxs1n, "but
We did not know what was involved in the
sale OF what has since proved a treasure.
We were struggling in the throes of civil
war and the governments of England and
France were being moved by every ipflu-
ence to recognize the confeieracY. Inc
acquisition of Alaska meant much to the
government When that sale was COM
pleted and the storms OF indignation that
followed Secretary Seward when he paid
S7,00000 in gold for that frigid country,
all through Europe was heard the ominouS
growl of the Russian bear, which said
palmer than.swofxis to France and Z ig-
land, 'Hands7 off, or we viii inter
fere and make this a worldwide struggle
How many Knew what deep import was
vested in the appearance of an entire squad

Seward did. 1t meant this: The admiral
of that squadron was in possession of sealed
orders, His orders from the Russian gov
eminent were to remain where he was until
this great question that was agitating
France and England was settled. Upon the
instant the conEederacy was recognized by
those European powers the seals were to be
broken, and his orders were to report for IN
structioDs in person TO President Lincoln.
That was the depth Of the import embodied
IN the acquisition Of Alaska to the United
States"

a Den,a, from Secretary Rusk.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The atten-
ton of Secretary Rusk was called this
evening to d dispatch from Chicago in
which it was asserted that he had been
interviewed and had expressed himself
in very vigorous terms against the So
called reaper trust, and had said that
he knew that such a trust existed. be-
cause he had been offered stock in the
concern. Mr.. Rusk says the whole
story, so far as it connects his name
with it, is untrue, and what would be
called "a fake" in a newspaper office.
Il have been interviewed on no subject
relating to politics either in a near or
remote way since tke election, " said
the secretary, land | have persistently
refused to express any opinions on any
political subject. AS to the merits OF
the question, l do not believe that
American agricultural implement man
ufacturers are unable to dispose of
their products abroad at lower prices
than they receive at home. The story
that | have been offered stock in the
concern is equally false with the Others"
