ANTHONY THE wAHDERER.
4 Weighted Enthusiast Travelling

Insight into the strange condition OF

by the immense renown and influence

saint. who goes by the name OF An

more than forty years has been per-

extending all over Siberia, Central Asia

Anthony the Wanderer has spent two
score years in tramping all over the
Russian Empire, collecting enormous
sums OF money for the building Of
churches and schools in places where
they are needed. and without keeping n
single kopeck for himself He Is veneer
ated. We are told. not alone by the igno-
rant peasantry, but also by the most
highly educated and affiuent classes, and
men and women OF all sorts and condi-
tons OF life are described as applying
to him for advice in matters spiritual,
worldly and even hygienic.

clean is to battle twice. or twelve times
a day IL the body needs it. AS every
body knows, waste material is offensive

CR0KER's REGRET.

Mr.. Richard Croker is enjoying him
self In Ireland and confirms the story
OF his intention to return to New York
by the Majestic. He brings home with
him one regret: that the Libel law in
the United States is not like the Eng
lish law. so that he might bring Grim
inal libel suit against those lnduisitivc
journals that insist upon knowing how
he got 1t. and persist in pressing upon
him the question where did It come
from
This ought not to worry Mr.. Croker.
There is probably not single news
paper In New York that would inter
pose any technical defense to n libel
suit II Mr.. Croker should think ut to
bring one. Any OF them would. no
doubt. be happy to meet Mr.. Croker
in court OF Justice. giving him all
the advantage he might hope to do
rive from Tammany Judges.
But there IL one thing for which Mr..
Croker ought to be duly thankful. that
the laws of the United states affecting
the manner in which II Is got are not
rs severe nor as strictly enforced In
the United States as they are in Eng
land. otherwise the dread Of the In
vestigating committees. supposed to
have caused his mysterious departure
for Paris and the Grand Prix. would
have kent him on the other side Of the
Atlantic and the news OF the consultn-
ton between Mayor Gilroy and Bourke
Cochran and the danger threathening
hts Tammany cronies would not have
been sufficient to induce him to hurry
back as rapidly az ne went away.
The question of interest now Is will

Tammany leadership as easily MS he
