WILLIAM AND NICHOLAS.
St. Petersburg Is Festive in Honor of
the German Emperor and
Empress.

LONDON, ENG, Aug. est. Peters burg
dispatches say that the city is in festive
garb in honor of the arrival tom orrow as
the guests of the Car of the German En-
peror and Empress.
The liveliest interest is manifested by all
classes in this reunion of the great royal
houses of Europe, and the visiting party
will receive as royal a reception from the
populace as from the imperial hosts. On
the arrival of the Germans in the bay to-
morrow morning the Car and suite will
go aboard and bid them welcome, and 1000
cavalry drawn from the finest regiments
will serve as an escort from the docks to
the new Peterhof Palace, an entire wing of
SShich has been reserved for the visitors
and is to-day being turned into floral
bower.
Tho Emperor and Empress will be free
10 follow their own incIlnations during
the morning and afternoon, and in the
evening thev will be the guests at state
banquet, the preparations for which are
on a scale OF magnifcence even exceeding
the grandeur of the similar function gwen
during the coronation festivities last year.
The visit is to last for a week, and the
programme mapped out will give the Ger
mans little opportunity for rest. Eng
land, however, is less interested in the
festive features of the visit than in the
new deals and arrangements for future
understandings that may be come to be-
tween the two rulers. There is a feeling
that the Emperor may win over the Gear
from some OF his eccentric notions, and a
good many people OF note in the diplo-
matte world are prophesying that sooner
or later the reunion will prove an unfortu-
nate event for the peace of Europe.

ATLANTA. GA, Aug. 6.-The insur-
ance OF DR.. w. L. Ryder, who was hanged
by a mob for killing his sweetheart,
amounting to 1000. was paid his broth
ers this morning. They will use the
amount 10 prosecute the lynchers.
Ryder, it appears, had killed his sweet
heart, who was very popular young lady
in the community. There was storm of
indignation because of the murder and if
the truth was told it must be said that the
authorities were not overanXious to pro-
tect Ryder from the fury of the mob.
Since the iynching the brothers of DR..
Ryder have been very eager to get his in
surance money The insurance people
made them wait for it. The brothers say
that they will prosecute the lynchers to
the bitter end, but the general opinion in
this State is that nothing will come of it.
No jury will ever convict any OF the
lynchers.

eral other students; was taller than the
rest, and attracted my attention at once
His face was pale and thin. a pair OF
keen dark eyes looked out from beneat h
heavy brows; his nose was prominent
too large to look well, | thought; a
broad, thin tipped mouth and square
chin completed the contour of his face.
He was neatly and fastidiously dressed,

the latter expansive and expressive In
later years this smile has been the sub
ject of considerable comment: but the
well rounded cheeks of Mr.. Bryan now
check its onward march. and no one has
seen the real breadth of the smile who
did not see it in the early days. Upon
one occasion, a heartless observer was
heard to remark: That man whispers
in his own ear but that was a cruel
eXaggeration."

The Knights of King Arthur is an
order for boys which was organized
about year ago in this town. 1t is
secret organization with initiation
and degree work and is designed to do
for boys between the ages ~ and 20
what the long established secret orders
are doing for men. The avowed pur-
pose of the order is ''to aid boys to be-
come Christian men," and to furnish
for them literary opportunities and
social life. The order was organized
by Rev. Harry w. Kimball of the Con-
gregational church and he has general
charge of the work of the order. Mon
day evening, the Knights gave a very
successful entertainment at the Con-
gregational vestry. There was fine
musical programme as follows:
Duet. Mrs Dunton and Mr.. Harris
Violin Solo. Don Morrison

Miss Margaret Smith recited an

gave a short account of the order and
its work. Refreshments were served
and pleasant social time enjoyed. The
following young ladies kindly assisted
the young men in preparing for the en-
tertainment: Miss Nudd, Miss Octavia
Walker, Miss Jewett and Miss Holt.

AS to the criticism that Mr. Bryan
had not distinguished himself as law
yer, she says:
Those who thus complain should con-
slider that he entered the practice at %
and left it at 80. and during that period
began twice and twice became more
than self-supporting. At the time of
his election to congress his practice was
in thriving condition. and fully equal
to that of any man in the city"
She concludes the sketch thus:
ITO give an estimate of his character
or of mental endowments which he may
possess would be beyond the scope of
this article. l may be justified. however,
in saying that his life has been one of
earnest purpose. with that sort of genius
which has been called a capacity for
hard work."
