THAT is preposterous. Every word in
the complaint believe to be true, ana it
can be so proven. Why the agreement ac
cepted by US was letting the mine go as a
sacrifice, which never would have been
possible were conditions different at the
time. My brothers were old and iafrm,
one with broken hip and the other deli
cate. Neither of them could earn living,
and then winter was coming on. l could
not help them, as my health was very
poor, so that l could not perform active
duty as a minister of the gospel, and in
stead of a salary my income was only a

thing TO be done under those circumstances
was to sell the mine. But Pm sorry for
this whole business and for Mr.. Montgom-

cause Of the pronounced opposition of Nicolas to his fathers system. The czar often spoke of the ozarowitz, or heir ap- parent, as ''of a sulky nature and without force of character, ," as fathers of bigoted nature often do of sons they cannot under stand or absolutely control
 Alexander III was himself second son, and his older brother, prospective czar, was engaged to the Princess Dagmar of Denmark, sister of the Princess of Wales, but the czarowitz died, and Alexander III, on succeeding to his rights, also married his fiancee Their married life is said to have been very happy one despite this sad beginning, and they have five chil- dren, Nicolas, George, Xenia, Michael and Olga. Nicolas was born in St. Petersburg May Is, 1868, and is said to be phenome- nally versatile scholar. A few years ago he and his brother George started on tour around the world, and great expectations were excited in the United States, but in Japan fanatic made an attempt on the life of the czarowitz and wounded him, and the trip was abandoned

Czarowitz.
 When Alexander II of Russia was bombed into eternity, all Russia and much of the rest of the world asked eagerly about the character of his son who was to be Alexander III, and now all are asking the same questions about tho latter's oldest son, the Grand Duke Nicolas Alexandra witch, who will ere long be the Czar Nico- las IT. It was soon proved that the little finger of Alexander III was thicker than his fathers loins, for he stopped all move ments toward a more liberal system of government, greatly increased the power of the secret police, gave the penal laws a sharper edge, expelled the Mennonites, cruelty persecuted the Jews and crowded the road to Siberia with vastly increased numbers of exiles. His death is expected soon, and now will Nicolas II do hkewisea
 All who profess to know him say not. They say he is totally unlike the Roman offs both in person and disposition; that he has the mild disposition and gentle manners of his Danish mother, and there are hopeful prophecies that with his acces- sion the era of constitutional reform and liberal government will begin in Russia In truth, it was announced last year as if by authority that Alexander III had de- cided to alter the succession and make his youngest son, Michael his successor be-

ed the Reform clubs tariff bill, which was sent to Congressman Wilson and elic- ited good deal of comment of rather spicy nature. He was one of the founders of the club and for five years it's president, was also one of the founders of the old County Democracy organization and one of the committee of 100 as well as of the present committee of 70. In short. though always a Democrat, he has long been out of touch with the regular managers in New York.

He is a member of St. James Episcopal church and is counted man of wealth, lives in style of plain elegance and is quite liberal ill aid of religion and all sorts of reforms. Though better known as free trader than in any other character, he insists that this is sort of accident, as that is not his first choice in subjects off interest. He really enjoys reading law and passes many of his spare hours reading the history of famous cases as other people would read novel or brilliant essay.

 Everett Pepperell Wheeler, who has been nominated for governor of New York by the anti-Hill faction of the Democracy, has been 0 thorough 'sNew York hoy" from the start. He was born in the Ninth ward of the city March 10, 1840, was cdu- cated in its common schools, graduated at the College of the City of New York in 1856 and later received the degree of A. M. from the same institution. He is thorough New York lawyer, New York politician and society man and is identi. fled in many ways with the social, reli- gious and educational interests of the city.
 His mother was descendant of Sir Will liam Pepperell, commander of the colonial troops who captured Louisburg in 1745, and his father David Wheeler, was a na- tive of Vermont. who settled in New York in 1880 to practice law. The son has been so devoted to city affairs and his profession that he is still little known elsewhere, but has been an active worker in tariff and civil service reform.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

The proposed celebration, humanly speaking, is now an assured thing. Near ly $l00 wac pledged, at Sandy Hook, on Memorial day, toward meeting the ex- penses, and many have not yet had op- portunity to subscribe. As to the place where it will be held, it Is not an open question, and never has been. It will be held at the Newtown Academy and in union with St Rose picnic. It is not in any official or corporate sense town eel ebration. It ia not in any sense pollti- cal nor ecclesiastical demonstration. IL Ia purely and simply patriotic and pub lie, social and educational. Any man who would try to make political capital of the occasion, or seek his own private selhshness in 1t, ought to be made to feel out of place from the start. All whC have fully made up their minds that the celebration will be held at the place above named, and are in sympathy with the plans and purpose as herein express ed, and are ready and willing to help tC carry out to success the program Eropos. cd by the original promoters of this en, terprise, are invited to meet at St Pat rick's hall, next Wednesday evening at { o'clock. .- o. o.

"CITIZEN."

"Strange such difference there should be,
 'Twtxt tweedle.dum and tweedle-dee." Aud yet this little 'diflerence' has caused the most terrible muss, the most deplorable hatred between those who should be the very best of friends If Newtown Street and Sandy Hook cannot act like a community of brothers, is it not evident that celebrating the Fourth of July in Newtown is farce? Is there anything more desirable than comprom- ise in thIs local feeling? The "second districbn remembers well that Patrick
 Henry's words did as much or more to fire the spirit of Independence than the words of any other man. This little Irish boy exclaimed: Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First his Cromwell, George the Third" The old royalists cried "Treason! treason!" With sublime cour- age Patrick Henry replied: "If this be treason, make the most of it." Washing ton at Monmouth, Napoleon at Lodi, never showed greater courage. Now in this celebration of the great victory over the tyrant, George the Third, cannot we meet each other half way? "Citizen" may be right, yet the "second district" is entitled to all they request in this offer to meet the first district" half way. Rev o. o. Wright, who has always been right in his every work for advancement in our good old town of Newtown, is the man who first suggested a good patriotic demonstration and we are glad Father Fox offered St Patrick's hall free and the ladies of the second district will furnish refreshments ample for the occasion. "Citizen' should sign his own name where patriotism comes in, and labor hard for the christian word "Compromise."- ."- c. w. Bradley.
