THE RUSSIAN CAPITAL.
vastness and Emptiness Of the City
of st. Petersburg.


An indefnable sense of vastness is
the characteristic feature of the Rus
sian capital. Peter the Great planned
a city for one of the 40 islands of the
marshy delta of the Neva, and built
fortress on q smaller island to command
It. Basil Island is now the commercial
quarter, with the custom house and
exchange opposite the fortress, and with
q long line of granite and stucco struc-
tures-the academy of sciences, the uni
versity, the academy of art, the military
school, the school of marine cadets and
the school of mines-facing the river
on q massive stone quay. Only one OF
these huge buildings-the school OF
marine cadets-remains from the time
of Peter the Great. 1t was the palace of
his favorite minister, Mentchikoff, and
was a marvel of splendor in old st. Pc
tersburg two centuries ago. The 40
islands behind the fortress have been
converted into struggling suburbs and
parks dotted over with villas and cot
tages to the shores of the Gulf of Fin
landau immense district with an end
less network of good roads and shady
alleys, where wealth and fashion dis
port themselves during the summer.
Beyond the fortress to the east is the
populous quarter of Viborg, with its
arsenals, barracks, railway stations
and factories-the manufacturing cen
ter of the capital. Beyond the Neva, to
the south is one unbroken level, with
line of palaces along the outer quay,
is the great side of st. Petersburg,
pierced by four semi-circular canals,
and with broad streets radiating mile
upon mile from the Admiralty, until they
end in remote suburbs. In magnitude
and endless completely it is an imperial
capital worthy of all the Russias.
To this sense of vastness is added a
singular impression of emptiness. Lon
don is human universe, with system
Of self-centered worlds swarming with
population and throbbing with vital en-
ergy. In st. Petersburg everything is ON
tremendous scale, but whatever may
be the record of the census, the city
seems to be only half populated. The
arms of the Neva are almost as broad
as the fjords of Stockholm, so that there
are few bridges; the cathedrals and
palaces have open ground around them
on every side; the thoroughfares are
broad and the squares are spacious;
and wherever one may foe, far and away
opens vista of roof lines and struggling
streets. All these vast places seem to
be tenantless. On the river there is
only sluggish movement of traffic;
the quays and bridges are without signs
of hustle and activity; the public
squares are empty and the streets at
all hours appear deserted. Even the
Newki Prospect, the chief thoroughfare
of the town, is sing uiarly quiet and emp
ty. st. Petersburg has been built upon
SO grand a scale that generations must
pass before the streets can present the
spectacle of populous capital astir
with human life and energy. In this re-
spect, too, it is representative capital
for an empire of vast territorial area,
every section of which is thinly popu-
lated.-N. Y. Tribune.

pLATFoRM:
hoWLlNo MACDONALDlTEA
A New Sect Which Does Amazing
Things.While Worshiping.

There is a new religious sect in Cam
bridge, Mass, the members of which
style themselves MacDonaldites. They
settled here about a year ago, but it is
only recently that they have had set
tied place of worship. They are pros
porous financially and purchased few
months ago a little chapel formerly
used by the Free VIII Baptists. They
outgrew this and last month invested
$4,000 in chapel on Hampshire street,
formerly known as the First Reformed
Episcopal church. One peculiar fea-
ture of the worship of the Macdonald
ties is the immense amount of noise
they always make in conducting serv-
ices. The people in the vicinity of the
chapel say the representatives of the
new sect are so enthusiastic in their
demonstrations during the meetings
that they make life burden to anyone
within hearing.
The regular meetings are held on
Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday even
ings and the congregation as whole at
each meeting works itself up to state
of frenzy similar to the wild excite
ment of an old-fashioned Methodist
camp meeting, but far more intense.
There are perhaps $50 men, women and
children in the congregation, entirely
from the working class of people.
There is apparently no pastor or other
spiritual leader. After few words of
prayer or exhortation the audience
sings from hymn book. Soon the
books are laid aside and by a rapid
process of evolution the musical notes
become howls, shrieks and groans, as
if from souls in mortal distress. The
movements - the bodies are unnatural
and physically distressing. The face
is distorted, the lower limbs drawn up,
and the head thrown back. Men and
women rise from their seats and sway
their bodies TO and fro as they emit
ear-piercing yells. Gradually the mus
Giles stiffen and the eyes become
set until the enthusiast seems to be in
a trance. After this condition has con-
tinued for an hour or so the Worship
ers suddenly seem to recover their nor
NAL selves and the meeting comes to
an abrupt close.
The members of this strange sect are
good citizens. They are not disposed
to be talkative about their religion

UNDEVELOPED MINES.
Hints to Prospectors Seeking
Assistance Of Capital.

HSSiS tdIlCC Ot Sc2EJ.Ldls
Now is the time for owners
of undeveloped gold mines to
show what kind of stuff they
are made of, and at the same
time to prove the value of
their properties.
There are several new gold
camps within the boundary
lines of the State of Idaho that
are pra ctically llfeless at the
present time. A number of
them are somewhat remote
from transportation facilities,
and yet it is a fact that in these
districts locations have been
made embracing lodges of free
milling gold ore, the veins be-
ing from one to six feet in
width, with values ranging
from ~ to S3o a ton.
The owners of these claims
as a general thing, are poor
men, and, sad to relate, they
are often men of exalted ideas
as to the value of their prop.
critics and as to the best meth
Cd for their development,
which, to say the least, is a
detriment to the camp and
calculated to retard its devel-
opement.
The possibilities and pros
pective worth of a claim may
be great, but without the eX-
penditure of a large sum of
money in its Development it
is of hardly more value than
SO many acres somewhere out
in the desert. and unless it is
of high enough grade to pay
to work by the primitive aras-
ira, one may wear his life out
awaiting the slow process of
capital.
How much better off these
prospectors and the country
in general would be if the own
ers of such properties would
sell at a reasonable prospect
price to some one who has
the means to develope or tell
them to go to work and do
continuous work, and at the
end of specified time to pay
for what is in sight.
The writer has known men
who have claimed to own
prospects from which, with a
hand mortar and pestle, they
could pound out from S. to
S. per day. Yet they were
too lazy to work it in that way.
Nor would they sell at a rea.
sonable price, but exc a mis-.
cradle existence in a 2x4
cabin, living on sour dough
bread, bacon and beans, hop
ing that some day someone
would come along and give
them a fabulous price for their
claim. 1t is a wonder THAI il
never occurred to such people
that a bird in the hand is
worth two in the BUSH and
that a few thousand dollars is
worth more to them in the
prime of life than the pros,
poets Of millions when they
have about reached the end O.
this life,s little span.
The Dixie and Elk City dis
tricts are not without eharac,
1ers OF the type mentioned
above. Some day, perhaps
when they are dead, their
prospects will be developed
into mines. o! let it be soon
Capital is looking for de
veloped gold properties. 1
you own a good prospect and
can't develop it yourself, be
reasonable and give some one
who can a chance. You will
thereby be doing yourself jus.
tice, and helping the camp.
