A large number of tramps are congre-

White House to wear beard, and
Grant was the fret to wear mustache.I
1t was up to the time of Lincoln, con-

mustache, Cleveland has a moderate
mustache, and is the only one of the
presidents to wear mustache without a
beard.

RUSSIA AS 1T is.
NeSi Light Thrown on the Land of
the Czar.

u
This community is indebted to Rev.
Mr.. Wood and the ladies OF the NJ. E.
church for an entertainment out of the
ordinary line, which is. in'store tonight
for the knowledge seekers, as well as
amusement-loving people of our city.
Description of Russian life, habits, GUS
toms and form of government of the
Russian people, by an educated ma
tive of the far-away land, of which we
have read so much, but regarding which
30 few Americans have any. personal
knowledge. We all know that during
the late war the staunch friendship of
that country had very restraining in
fuence upon the French and English
view of the situation, and about the
splendidly equipped Russian fleet in the
harbor of New York at critical period
.of those four years of national peril,
backing up in an effective way the ad-
motion GLANDS OFF, never put in
words, but most fully understood by all
the nations of the earth. France and
England were anxious to recognize the
Southern Confederacy, and there can be
but little doubt that that desire would
have led to. complications at time when
our government -$as particularly desir-
GUS of avoiding anything of the kind,
had it not been for the valuable services
of Alexander II.
DIR. Gregory De Kannet, the distin-
guished Russian EfaHeler and journalist,
who will entertain and instruct the peo-
pie of the Dalles tonight at the NJ. E.
church, regards Russia from the stand
point of patriot, and hence what he
has to say on the subject differs greatly
from what has been heretofore placed
before the thinking world by nihilistic
mediums or by George Kennan and
other fire breathing and sensation hunt
ing writer's who, by the way, knowing
our weak spot; iour desire for everything
more or less sensational, are exaggerat-
ing every hing for the sake of the al
mighty dollar. Hence only the dark
side of Russian life and institutions have
been hitherto presented, and DIR. De
Kannet proposes to lift the veil and
show the land of the czar as it really is.
1t is objectionable not to have a more
or less correct and absolutely right
knowledge of one of the greatest nations
of the world, its history, geographical
position, life, customs, habits, etc. One
of the easiest and most pleasant ways to
obtain this know edge is to attend DIR.
De Kannet's illustrated entertainment
and lecture tonight at the M. E. church.
Though yet comparative young man,
DR.. De Kennel has been a great trav-
eler, having been already twice around
the world. He is a graduate of the I'm
perial University Of Moscow, Russia,
has scholarly command of English,
and is quite as fluent in four other Lam
guages, besides Latin and Greek. One
great charm of his lectures, as was ex-
pressed by Professor Pratt of San Fran
cisco to Chronicle reporter, is the en-
tire absence of striving after elocution-
airy or anything STACEY. His entire in
tercourse with his hearers partakes more

There had been whispers OF something
