An American Lady's Description Of Court
Reception at the Winter Palace
at St Petersburg.

The absolute ruler of nearly a hundred
millions of people. the commander of vast
armies that threaten Europe and India
alike, willing and ready to fight for Russia
and the church of which he is the supreme
head, harsh and severe with those who re-
fuse his authority. there is yet side 10 his
nature that commands admiration and re-
respect. And this side of his nature 1t is
which can be recalled fttingly on the occa-
sion of his silver wedding, recently cele-
brated.
In the Russian Windsor at Gatschina, by
the seaside at Peterhof, or in the Danish
home at Fredensborg, as a recent biographer
has said, the Gar delights for time to for

Princes and Princesses, grandchildren of the
King of Denmark, would wreStle with the
Gar and try to throw him over. But,
although the struggle lasted until the whole
party streamed with perspiration and the
gardens rang with merry laughter, the En-
perOr never was thrown.
The CZarina, who, before ascending the
throne OF Russia. was known as Princess
Dagmar of Denmark, being younger sister
of the Princess of Wales, had her romance
in life early. She was originally engaged to
the CZarevltch, the older brother of her
present husband, whom she loved with all
her heart But the Czarevtch died.
She sat by his death-bed at Nice, when,
after solemuly bequeathing to his brother
the Russian throne, he added: 81 wish to

Princess in that of his brother. saying:
Marry her. 1t is my dying wish" And

Metzchersky, the only daughter of Polish
D0bleman. a poet aud an exile, who after

died when she was "a.

Assemblyman Joseph G. Mccall Of Ala
media has returned from the East where, 1t
was reported few days ago. he had gone
to escape the searching propensitles OF the
Grand jury. He says he went to attend a
meeting of the Erie Railway Agents, OF
whom he is one, and not to evade any. legal
process. When he reached the city by the
lake he found the intelligence OF his sudden
departure had preceded him by handsome
majority, and he was greeted as California
fugitive booder. All the papers published
interviews with him without having seen
any more OF him than his name on the hotel
register, and he was associated with Bruner
as legislative bribe-taker. 1t is whispered
among McCalps railway associates that he
was summoned East by his principals to
answer some pertinent questions touching
his legislative experience Ii such was the
case the fact that he has returned to bust
ness is presumptive evidence that the ques-
tons were satisfactorily answered.

This is the FIRST number Of the
SOCIAL SCIENCE LIBRARY, which puts
at the disposition of tho public
record that is invaluable. It is the
story of the struggle of the English
poor against the svarice Of the prizes,
and king, landlord and capitalist; a
story told by the records o: thousand
of court rolls, and stewards, accounts,
compiled by unconscious historians
who little dreamed of the tale the
figures they so patiently added up
would one day be made to tell. From
the beginning Of the thirteenth cen.
fury, when almost everyone not only
possessed land but cultivated it;
when q landless man was looked upon
as an outlaw and stranger; when the
use OF the common pasture WAS with
out stint, and the arabic land of the
manor was usually communist; from
that remote date to modern times.
Prof. Rogers conducts the reader
through the successive stages of
drama whose motive WAS the cheap.
ening of labor for the benefit Of the

could be more fitting than the pres
tht for the publication of this work
which, with Its special charts, clear

up, is destined to have an extensive
