Now. as / have already intimated, the
city Of Dorpat is noted for the pride and
lineage Of its old aristocracy, who, while
nom'naily Russians, cling to the trsdi-
lions OF their German origin and hold
themselves as second TO none in the en-
tire nobility of the Fatherland. So it
happened that though all these represen-
tative Dorpat families lent their counte-
nance and presence to the jubilee fetes
and many charming ladies were conse-
qusntly in evidence, the beauty of the
Frauleins Amelie Won Patkul and Bertha
Won Ongern-Sternberg attracted more
than ordinary attention
There had come to Dorpat as visitors
two Russian officers. one of whom be-
9onged to the Cars navy and the other
to the Cossacks Of the Guard. Accus-
TONED as they both were TO the gayety and
brilliance of st. Petersburg, the two OIL
GERS found that the charms OF Dorpat ap-
pealed to them with remarkable force. One
of them was Lieut. enant Nicholas Buttur-
lin and the other Captain Paul Arsenierf.
now in command of a sloop. In the year
1876, while young ensign on board the
Svetlana, he visited the American me-
tropolis as a member of the Grand Duke
Alexis suite. The Cossack officer is now
twenty-si years OF age and the naval
hero was just turned thirty three. They
became acc usinted with and soon became
devoted admirers of the ladies Won
Patkui and Won Ougern- The
admiration, it should be said, antedated
the introduction, for young women of
rank brought under German ideas are
accustomed to abide by the stricte..
rules of etiquette, and, in fact, are liable
in many cases to develop into prudes.
Carefully guarded from contact with the
sterner sex. save under the strictest

were considerably futrered by the influx
into their city of many young and hand

their arrival in Dorpat the Cars liege-
men domicjled themselves at the best
hotel in the place. 1t CHANGED that the
windows of their apartment were oppos-

or three days later the jubilee celebration
was in full swing. and they became per-
sonally acquainted, the fame burned
stronger than ever.
Balls and parties, fetes and excursions
followed each other in rapid succession,
but it was not until Professor Amilon
presented his idea of the Giving chess
board" that the excitement began to grow
really intense. Our lovers, of course,
were resolved at all hazards to get into
the game in order that they might enjoy
the double satisfaction of being among
the favored few and of indulging in the
Irritation which the situation would rem
der possible The selection of players
was decided by the drawing Of lots, after
which the successful candidates were di-
vided into two opposing camps. A good
deal of fun ensued when the question of
costuming came to be settled. The colors
chosen were black and white, to repre-
sent respectively ebony and ivory chess
men, and the dresses worn were ordered
for the occasion from local artists. The
dies were attired in tasteful silk dresses,
with short skirts to insure freedom for
the movements of the feet, and with the
same end in view the gentlemen assumed
knickerbockers and long silk stockings.
Upon the morning Of the day set for
the great game very distinguished COM
pany assembled in the grounds OF the
Polytechnic Institute. The chessboard
was laid upon green sward beneath
high terraced bluff where the spectators
were assembled. The scene was bril-
liant and unquestionably unique. while
the strains of a military band added to
its general charm. The game was to be
one of Amilon's problems, and it was ar
ranged that it should be played by the
two officers, both Of whom were quite
expert in the art. For time it looked
as though the advantage lay with Cap
tain Arsenieff, but as the game progressed
and neared a conclusion it became evil
dent that Lieutenant Buttivilin was de-
cisively in the lead.
Among the spectators were several gen.
tlemen belonging to prominent Dorpat
families, who had their own reasons for
the proceedings with some dis

in the time of our Lord at all" Rev.
Canon Fl. B. Tristram, F. r. S., whose
reputation stands high as an authority
regarding the geographical antiquities
of Palestine, will not positively assert
that this tomb must be the holy sepul-
cher. but thinks that it's site answers
the required conditions as no other site
does; and there is no proof in support
of Maj. Conder's opinion that this tomb
is of the ninth century after Christ. A
committee, of which Henry A. Campbell
and John Murray are leading promoters,
has appealed to the English public for
subscriptions to the amount of g6, 600 to
buy the inclosed piece of land-about
four acres--now for sale at the
price of $4,000. to lay it out as garden,
to put the tomb in order and to provide
for its proper care and keeping. The
archbishop of Canterbury, several
bishops and many influential clergy
men have expressed their cordial ap-
proval. The tomb is distant only $50
feet from the summit of the knoll or
little hill called FL II Heydhimiyeh, ..Jere
miah's Grotto,'' the shape of which hill
lock has a striking resemblance to the
form of the skull; the ''Golgotha- or

1855, suggested as the probable site of

position as just outside the gate of

teriug influence, rich with the memories
and achievements of Otto Struve and
Frauenhofer, grew up and developed the
Polytechnic Institute, whose jubilee, eel
ebrated within the past three weeks, was
the occasion of bringing together the
persons who supply tho motive of our

attractive methods of entertaining the
guests, who came from all parts of Rus

Among the visitors was Amilon, the IA

ceived the idea Of a game of chess with
living pieces. In other words, a large
piece of rubber painted to represent a
chess board was to be securely fastened
over the grass and q sufficient number OF

from among the guests to play their
