LOBANoTF- -ROSTovSKY Prince Lobanoff
deY3ted his leisure hours to the study of
and to the writing of works on Russian
history. The tour which he had planned
to take with the czar through the countries
of western Europe was expected to be
most far reaching in results, affecting the
settlement of the eastern question. Francis
Joseph paid Prince Lobanoff- Rostovsky
the highest honors during tho recent visit
of the ozar to Vienna, and his death at the
present juncture is regarded rs n most
dramatic and important event. upsotting
as 1t docs all possibilities of conferences
between the foreign ministers of the great
powers and compelling the car to change
the plans concerning his tour through
Germany, France and England:
Prince Lobanotf Rostovsky was ap
pointed Russian minister of foreign af-
fairs Feb. 2S, 1895, succeeding the late NJ.
DE Gers. For years Prince Lobanoff, as
he is commonly known was regarded as
M. DE Giers' most probable successor.
When the post of minister of foreign af-
fairs was left vacant by the death of that
famous statesman Emperor William of
Germany interposed certain objections to
the appointment of Prince Lobanotf. At
first it seemed possible that tho czar
might make another selection. During
visit of Emperor William to Vienna, how
ever the emperor, tho Grand Duke Vladi-
mir aud Prince Lobanoff met at the Rus
sian embassy in Vienna and frankly dis
cussed the situation. The result was that
the German emperor signitied that he
would no longer stand in the way of the
appointment.
Prince Lobanoff was very friendly to the
vatican, and in December of 1894 he was
sent by Nicholas II to convey to Leo XIII
the formal announcement of the now EN-
peror's accession. A the vews-of Prince
Lobanoif on the various questions Tissue
betwaen the Russian government and the
holy see were known to be conciliatory
and moderate, the cmperor's choice of en-
voy gave much pleasure to tho pope who
marked his qualification at tho presence of
the prince by comforting upon him the Or
der of Christ, the most exalted decoration
that it was in his power to bcstow.
Prince Lobanoh was one Of the most i'm
portant personages in modern Russian
politics. He entered the diplomatic SER
vice of Russia at an early age. Before fho
last Russian Turkish war he was charge
d'affaires ut Constantinople and ut the
close Of hostilities WAS sent back to the
same city with the title of ambassador.
Subsequently he was Russian ambassador
to London, and for over ten years was
Russia's representative at Vienna. As
primo minister he distinguished himself
by his mastery Intervention in the China
Japan war.
Prince Lobonof was 60 years of age, and
had never married He was man of
great wealth. and one of his recent eccen-
tricities was the purchase of silver horse.
shoes for the horse no rode, Tartar of the
Ukraines. He had splendid palace in the
Caucus mountains, and his pages were tho
sons of great Tartar chieftains.

The visiting colored folks numbered
5000 and they came from all over the state,

services held in the tent in the rear of the
church.
The sermons were able ones, and the
meetings woro attended by intelligent
people of the colored race The old plan.
tntion melodies and hymns found no
place in the exercises, but the hymns and
the sermons were such as may be heard in
most any church The hymns were of
course sung with vlgor, which is charac-
tcristic of tho colored roople, but this was
the only difference. All of the services
were well attended, and the churches
where most of them were held were crowd
ed. The colored churches which do not
celebrate the day were also well filed, both
with people from this city and the visitors.
The crowd was an orderly one, the po.
lice making but four arrests In the
af, ernoon several alleged speak-easies on
French street were raided, but only two
arrests were made. They were Ellie La

they were locked up but were allowed to

George Vail of Delaware City drove tc

friends and in the early evening had pre-.

dashed down Market street at break

only barrier between the frightened horse
and tho water of the creek was frail

Vail saw the great danger he was in and
jumped from tho buggy. No sooner had
he reached the ground than tho horse
smashed away the gate and went with the
carriage into the creek. People who were
on the street believed Vail had also gone

rescue was begun. But he made himself
known and the work OF resCu!ng the horse

What sort Of man should the preacher

He should not be tickle man whose
