York claim him, Americans note with sat
isfaCtion that during his long absence he
has never for moment contemplated the
REIMBURSEMENT of his citizenship, and Is
as proudly patriotic today as over he was
in his life.
Mr.. Conway was born in Stafford coun-
ty, Va, March II, 1882 His father, a
man Of prominence In the community in
which he lived, was n member of the Vir-
ginia Legislature and for 35 years presiding
justice of Stafford county. His mother
was daughter Of John Monoure Daniel,
surgeon general of the United States army
in the war Of 1879, and granddaughter Of
Thomas Stone, a signer of the Declaration
Of Independence.
The life of Monoure Conway has been Of
O peculiar sort, full OF sudden changes,
deep convictions and strong conflicts for
what he conceived TO be right. His edu-
cation was commenced at the Fredericks-
burg academy. From this institution he
went to Dickinson college, from which hs
was graduated with the b. A. degree in
1s49. Afterward he returned and took the
degree of A. M. Following an urgent i'm
pulse he began the study Of law Mt Warren
ton, Va, but soon abandoned it for the
ministry. Inc balUlmOro MeblOd1sG con
ference appointed him TO CIRCUIT In Mont
gomery county, Nd, where he made the
acquaintance Of the cultivated and genial
Hicksite Quakers, and his faith in both
Methodism and slavery was seriously inn
paired He also became deeply impressed
by the works Of Emerson, with whom he
oorresponded.
In 1869 he boldly changed his position
with reference to religion and to slavery,
renounoed Methodism, entered the Unita-
rian Divinity school at Cambridge, Mass,
and began to advocate freedom for the
slaves. He was graduated from the school
in 1854 and became minister Of the Uni
tartan church ut Washington.
Three years later he made another
change and received call to Cincinnati,
where he accepted the pastorate of tho
First Congregational church. While here
his first book appeared. Its title was
"Facts For Today" Afterward he wrote
much for the magazines, and his various
contributions to literature are we'll known,
as are his life and ministrations among
the poor ut London.

be Is only AZ years of age his career has
been remarkably brilliant, and no surprise
is expressed respecting his selection for
the high Office.
This Won Bulow is the son of the late
Minister of State Won Bulow, who was
for long time one of tho nearest of Prince
Bismarck's friends and advisers. Previous
to this he had served in turn the Danish
and Mecklenburg governments as minister
plenipotentiary and as secretary of state.
At the time of the outbreak of the
Franco German war young Won Bulow was
q mere boy. Nevertheless he enlisted in a
hussar regiment and served with 1t dur
ing the entire campaign. He displayed
fine soldierly qualities and won for himself
tho epaulets of I'M officer. When peace had
been declared, he entered the diplomatic
service, and was employed for number
of years in the foreign affairs department
at Berlin. Later he became successfully
secretary of legation, secretary Of era bassy
and counselor of embassy at Athens,
Dresden, Paris and ST. Petersburg. In
1878 he acted az one of the secretaries and
protocolists Of the Berlin congress.
There is connected with the career of
Won Bulow bit of romance which might
well be named by IA harsher title. This
was his elopement with the Countess
Doenhotf, the beautiful wife Of Count
Doenhoff, Won Bulow's chief, while score
tary of the mission at Dresden. This
escapade well nigh ended his official Ca
reer, but time softens resentment and dulls
the edge of memory. The count secured q
divorce, the countess married Won Bulow,
and at length, through the influence of
the elder Won Bulow, the present minis
ter of foreign affairs was allowed to emerge
from the coventry of disgrace, and the APP
pointment of secretary of embassy at st.
| Petersburg followed.
Bernhardt Won Bulow Is psssionately
| fond of music, and this fact has given
rise to an impression that he is related to
the pianist Hans Won Bulow. This, how
ever, is not the case, Hans being Sua-
bian, while the embassador halls from
Mecklenburg and Denmark. He has two
brothers, one a diplomat representing
| Prussia at several of the minor German
courts, the other aid de camp and gentle
man in WAITING tn the emperor.

crates.
The little settlement called Ruslxin,
which is situated some 90 miles north
west Of Nashville, is like no other col
ony that has ever existed. This retired
spot was sought and bought by little
band Of people who were determined to
put into effective operation the social
istio theories advanced by Bellamy and
Fourier. And what is more, they claim
to have made a success Of it.
That is to say, after several years Of
arduous effort its founders now an.

Dodson, who filed the statement re-.
Gently with the secretary of state Of
Tennessee, that the Ruskin Cooperative
association is no longer an experiment
and that the joint capital of the col

to 500, 900.
This remarkable community, consist
ing at present of 213 souls, is managed
much after the fashion of huge bn,

The possessions of the community
consist of 300 acres of land containing
almost every natural resource, An
abundance Of raw material for the man.
ufacture of nearly everything necessary
to the physical comfort of man lies
ready for their hands.
In order to form more vivid idea Of
the practical working of the Communi-
ty, take an imaginary case, say Of John
Doe, who, with his wife and three chill
dren, is anxious to be admitted to the
colony. They first fill out answers to
certain searching questions that are
found on the associations application
blanks Among other queries are such
propositions as these:
"Are you willing to do any useful Ia
Dor when there is nothing for you to do
in your chosen vocation?
"Do you believe that all members
should have the same pay for the same
hours Of labor if they do the best they

When this blank is filled out by the
applicants, it is mailed to Ruskin and
there posted on the bulletin board Of
the colony. 1t remains there until Sat.
urday afternoon, which is election time
and half holiday. Ballots are cast,
and il two-thirds of them favor the ad-
mission of the Does they are notified Of
the fact. They come with their children,
pay $500 for share in the property of

begin.

John Doe just then. He has been all

Chapman buttons have been struck of.
These are presented by Captain Chapman
to his friends, who are said to prize them
highly.
Though the years have dealt very fairly
with the gallant captain, he is veteran Of
the late war. He enlisted in the One Hun
dred and Fifty fifth New York regiment as
drummer boy. He was then IA years
old and full Of the martial spirit. The cap
tain delights in "reminiscences of this period
of his life and tells proudly Of the 80 bat
ties In which he took part.
The personal appearance Of Captain
Chapman is of q thoroughly distinctive
sort. His very heavy side whiskers that
have been 30 extensively caricatured in the
New York papers luxuriously survive all
sarcastic cuts. He is immaculate In dress
and very neat and careful of himself. He
Is deliberate and somewhat formal OF

asked to tell of his exploits.

now that bis future is no longer a ques-
tion of cuts in wages, strikes or other
accessories to desperation and death
gives him an odd thrill.
He has now guarantee of work for
every day that he is able to work and

has no rent to pay, no taxes. There is
no expense for schoolbooks or medical
care-all are furnished by the associa-

him no more than they would in car
load lots, and all he has to buy are
household furniture and wearing ap-

When he announces himself ready for
work, he is assigned place in the COM

Mrs. Doe and the children may also
draw checks. The children are entitled

their maintenance as pay for going to
school. The home work Of Mrs. Doe is
valued as highly as the work of her
husband, and her check is as large as
his.
The price list at the general store Ia
an astonishing thing to the uninitiated.

DON CARLOS AND HIS WIFE MARIA BERTA.
accompanied by her daughter, the beau
tiful Margarita. By some chance the
duchess took up her residence beside the
Grand canal and exactly opposite the resi-
dence where the young pretender lived.
Venetian palaces, like those of Spain,
have balconies and every evening the Prin-
cess Margarita went out on her balcony TO
breathe the air and think Of her beloved
Parma, and each evening another exile,
Don Carlos, came out on the balcony oppo-
site to dream Of Spain and the crown that
should be his. The result might easily
have been guessed Amid their sighs for
their faraway country these young people
got to exchanging sympathetic glanoes,
and it was not long before they entertained
a tenderer sentiment than that Of patriot
ism. They loved and were ultimately mar
ried, though at this time the pretonders s
little sweetheart was but II years old. 1t
was three years later that their wedding
took place.
With his wife Don Carlos came into pos
session Of a large fortune. by means Of
which he has been able TO maintain a court
and "a semblanCe Of royalty ever since.
In his one grand actual struggle forpos-
session of the crown Of Spain, the memoir
able Carlist conflict which lasted from May,
1872, to February, 1876, Don Carlos dis
tinguished himself not only in the way of
personal yalor, but for his excellent gen.
eralship. Since that time Of almost vic
tory, but final defeat, Don Carlos has main
tained with digniflGd but dORged persist
ence his purpose to yet reclaim his own,
and in this determination he is upheld by
Carlists in Spain and in all other parts Of
the world.
His greatest grief was oCCasioned by the
remarkable and disgraCeful conduct of his
only daughter, Princess ElYira, with one
FolChi, married man with whom she be-
came infatuated The princess tried TO de-
fend her conduct by claiming that it was
done out Of pique, because Of her fathers
second marriage to the Princess Marie
Bertha de Rohan Of Prague, which had
occurred two years previous TO this esca-
pade. In his deep modification he ad-
dressed letter to his followers informing
them that his daughter was dead" to him
and requesting their prayers for "her mis-
erable soul"
The only son Of Don Carlos, who, by the
way, is even more vigorous than his father
In pushing the family claims, Is Don
Jaime, fine, soldierly fellow 20 years old
and full Of the fire and ardor Of youth.
He was educated in England and Austria
and by the express permission Of the czar
il serving as an officer in Russian cav
airy regiment. 1t is believed that young
Don Jaime is sanguine that Russia will
render him liberal support when the pro.
pitious time arrives for another effort to
overthrow the present powers Of Spain.
This scion Of the proud old stock Is said to
be immensely popular with his brother Off
GERS, who refer to him as the last of the
Bourbon kings ALFRED II. kowLEY.

In the field of literature are subjects won
lerfully attractive TO those who appreciate
the excellence OF great things modestly
done. Very few men can justly lay claim
30 the fulflllment of so many callinRs-
poet, soldier, novelist mathematician,

his new, mission is a conclusion fore

Mr.. Hardy was born in Boston Aug.
18, 1847. His father was the late Alpheus
Hardy. The boy Arthur had an ambition
TO be soldier, and so, when he was of
proper age, his father secured for him an
appointment to West Point.
After graduation young Hardy, as SEQ

SPANISH PRETENDER
THE ADVENTUROUS AND ROMANTIC
CAREER OF DON CARLOS.

For Thirty Years He Has Pushed His
Claims to the spanish Throne-The Ro-
mantle Circumstances of His First Mar
riage to the Exlled Princess Margarita.
The life Of Don Carlos protender to the
throne of Spain, has been full of the flavor
Of romance and the clash Of arms. He is
the son of Don Juan, from whom he de.
rived his pretendership, and Princess Ma
ria Beatrix of Modena Shortly before the
birth Of Don Carlos, in 1s4S, Don Juan
and his wife were in Venice. At that time
revolutions were rife in Europe, and many
thrones were tottering. Plots against
royalty were common, and especial antip-
sthy was displayed toward all Of Bour-
bon blood. So great was this bitterness
that Don Juan and the Princess Beatrix
were nearly mobbed one night while in
attendance Ht Venetian thoater, and
threats against their lives were heard on
all sides. Don Juan decided to flee TO
Austria. 1t was n perilous undertaking
because Of the disafToction that existed in
all parts through which they passed, but
the journey was at last accomplished, and
they reached Ley bach in safety. There in
a small inn, on March 80, WINS born Don
Carlos, duke of Madrid present head Of
the great family Of Bourbon and possible
king of Spain
The proCarous period Of his birth was
but the fororunnor Of the tumults and ad-
ventures that have formed so large q part
of his experience. Through the kindness
of the Emperor Ferdinand of Austria this
royal child was placed in the keeping Of a
Spanish priest under whose instructions
he was to be educated for the priesthood.
He was early apprised of his position In
the world and of the obstacles that stood
between him and the sovereign power over
a great people. Indeed 1t seems that the
monk, ever loyal TO the Carlist cause, paid
more attention to politics than religion in
the tutelage of bis pupil The lad was
made acquainted with the fact that Fer
dinand, who had no sons, revoked the Salio
law that made only male heirs eligible to
the throne, and thus advanced Isabella
into supremacy, leaving young Carlos
only pretender.
The boy accepted the situation philosoph-
ically, but never for moment harbored
a doubt that he would one day come into
possession of the crown. He always con-
Quoted himself in manner in keeping
with the character of one high born and
set apart for kinghood His early educa-
tion made a lasting impression on him,
and whatever his acts in politics or state
affairs may have been he always remained
and Is today, devout Romanist.
When Don Carlos was about 9 years old
and was living in Venice with his mother
beside the Grand canal, a little circum-
stance arose which had an important bear
ing upon his subsequent life. This was the
arrival of the Duchess of Parma in Venice,

An Interesting Character Is Captain Chap
of the Finest.
The widespread notoriety gained by Cap
tain George S. Chapman of the New York
police force stands in contradiction of Mr..
Gilbert's assertion touching the unhappi-
ness Of the life of q policeman, for what
more dear to the heart of the constabulary
than the fame of stirring deeds in the line
Of dutyY
Public knowledge of Captain Chapman
Is of recent growth, but is none the less
widespread on that account. His name
went abroad over the land last fall as the
hero of police raid upon dinner party
composed of swell New Workers. 1t was o
bachelor banquet now well known as 1.-THE
Seeley dinner" The forcible entry of Cap
tain Chapman into the center of this ex-
elusive circle on the ground that improper
conduct was there allowed was roundly
denounced by the Four Hundred and
warmly commended by the press hnd the
general public. Since that time the cap.
tain's name has become familiar to many
by reason of his continued activity along
the lines of his plan for uplifting the moral
tone of the metropolis.
The prominence that Captain Chapman
has thus attained has raised up for him a
host of admirers. Many of these who have
the pleasure of his personal acquaintance
have expressed their desire for souvenirs.

this time also he published another math-

A HEBREW REFORMER.
Rabbi Levy Makes a Sensation In Phila-
delphia.

Rabbi Levy phkes sensation In Phila-
deIphia.
The Rev. J. Leonard Levy Of Philadel-
phia has aroused deep indignation in the
breasts of the orthodox Jews by reason Of
his opposition to many of the CeremOnials
of the old HcbrHic faith and his general
tendency toward a wider and more liberal
Interpretation of the tenets of the faith.
Indeed the lately expressed beliefs Of the
eloquent rabbi are regarded by the ortho-
dox Jews as differing little from the creed
of the Christian. He even goes further
than the average Protestant or Catholic in
his opinions concerning future state and
his deductions as to punishments for moral
obliquities
In one of his recent sermons he said:
PERSONALLY believe neither in heaven
nor in hell in the sense that the Moham-
medan uses the one and the Christian eni'
plnys the other My own opinion is that
there is no heaven and no hell in the sense
that they are places. Heaven Is to do
right; heaven is to be pure, honest, up
right, virtuous, truthful, holy. He'll is
falseness; hell is to be gross, sensual, self
seeking, double faced, uncharitable.
Heaven means peace Of mind, content of
heart. He'll means greed and avarice.
Heaven means virtue, not the reward for
being virtuous for he that practices virtue
in hope Of reward has not acted yirtuOus-
ly."
Thus and much more says DR.. Levy.
And all the while the schism between those
who partake Of his opinions and the ortho-

dox grows broader and deeper and criticism
of what the latter consider his unholy
iconoclasm is loud and continuous.
But in spite of these denunoiations DR..
Levy continues TO give vent to his views
both in PUBLIC and private and labors hard
In practical way to aid the unfortunate
and elevate the poor and ignorant of his
race. Among other worthy works organ
lied by him is a scheme for the distribution
among the poor Of sterilized milk. Another
was for the sale of coal by the bucket at
the price per ton. In this way he has made
many friends and led large numbers of his
race to adopt his liberal views. His own
congregation stands by him Loyalty.
DIR. Levy was born in London In 1866.
His education was received at the Univer-
sity of London and the Jewish Theological
college. Before he reached the age Of 30
he was acting as rabbi at Bristol, England,
being then the youngest ordained rabbi In

trade and devote himself 30 the study of the
law. With this end in view he began read
ing BlaC Ckstone and Coke and studied with
such diligence that at the end of two years
he was admitted 10 practice. He soon dis
covered, however, that the accumulation
of wealth in the legal profession would be
a long process. So, in 1868, he went into
the banking business. Two years later he
removed to jackson, o., where he has
lived ever since.
He accumulated large wealth and be-
came prominent In social life and leader
in the Democratic party.
