said to Be a DevOut Man With a HUI
name and sympathetic nature.


Rev. Labaree In the Evangelist
OF the new shah not much can be af-
f1rmed. Rev. 8. G. Wilson, who has lived
in Tabriz for many years and enjoyed ex-
ceptional opportunities for learning his real
character. has this to say of him in his re-
cent volume, persian Life and Customs"
The Vali-Ahd. or Crown Prince of Persia,
Is MuZaffer-i-Din, the eldest son of the
shah by a royal mother. He has never
been tried by the great responsibilities of
government, SO that his capacity is largely
unknown. One marked characteristic of
the prince is his religious disposition. He
is a man of faith, free from the rational
istic tendencies Of some of the ruling class
He is devout in his fulfillment of religious
rites, and a total abstainer from intoxi-
cants. He has humane and sympathetic
nature. He is q friend of education
taking a great interest in the government
school at Tabr!z, having European tutors
for the education of his sons, and encourag
ing his interpreters to translate standard
works into Persian. He Is much interested
in biography, photography and like prac-
teal arts He has fondness for flowers and
new plants, and enjoys tent life and the
pleasures of the chase, often camping out
with his retinue on the mountains. For
some years the Zi-i-Sultan, the eldest son
of the shah, and the governor of Ispahan,
was regarded as a rival of the Vali-Ahd
for the succession. But the disfavor of the
shah, and later, an affliction of blindness,
have removed the possibility. When word
of the critical condition of the Zil-i-Sultan's
eyes reached Tabriz, the Vali-Ahd sent word
to the mosques announcing the fact, and
requesting that prayers be offered for his
brother.
The mild disposition of the new sover-
eign, his distaste for the cares of govern
ment. and his lack of vigorous physical
health, do not augur favorably for q reign
of prosperity like that of his father. 1t
may be mentioned in evidence of his high
appreciation of integrity of character, Dr.
George w. Holmes, while a resident in
Tabriz, was a great favorite Of Vali-Ahd,
and he made a determined effort to secure
DR.. Holmes as his private physician at q
very desirable salary. Russian influence
Is supposed to have thwarted the princes
project. 1t is to be hoped that he will show
his good judgment In the selection of his
principal ministers. They are pretty sure
to be friends of Russia rather than Of Eng
land, which two powers are in a ceaseless
political duel in their rivalry for suprem-
acy in Persian councils. Russia has sue
ceeded In recent years in getting the lead
there, and her influence Is likely to be
greater than ever under the new shah.
