NOBILITY TRUSTS HIM
When Father John appears abroad the
moujiks crowd to touch the hem of his
robe or even to get within range of his
vision. 1t is no wonder that the ignor-
ant peasants have such faith in him
when the nobility and the educated class
es seem to have d like belief. When the
Czar Alexander III lay dying in the
Crimea it was Father John who, when
the medical men had given UP hope, was
summoned to the bedside of the emperor
to try to accomplish by his prayers what
medical skill had failed to do The fact
that the czar died did not injure the rep
utation of Father John. People said that
the mira Gle workers want of success

as much sought after as ever. Sometimes

A STORY OF AMAZING SACRIFICE INVOLVING SOME

looks back upon a time when she was the

the twilight of that pest hole lies the
man for whom she has sacrificed health,

He IS a leper!
None of the friends Of Dr. John NJ. De

him in the leper of Puerto Principe. The
disease has left him a manned and gro

Miracle Wonker OF Russia.

Not only to every nook and corner OF
the vast empire of Russia has the fame Of
Father John of Cronstadt spread, but it
has reached the outside world, and there
are few places where his name is not
known He Is a Russian priest who Is
believed by the Russians to have the
power Of working miracles, and who evil
IDENTITY believes himself that he has such
power. He has made CronStadt a place
OF pilgrimage for the lame and the lazy,
the afflicted in mind, body and estate Of
all Russia. The peasants in their foul
smelling dresses of skin, their dirt, disease
and laziness, throng the city. much to
the disgust OF the regular dwellers there.
From the shores of the Arctic and the
Pacific oceans, from the shores of the
Black sea and from the borders of Asl-
attic khanates' the pilgrims flock to get
glimpse Of Father John. the New York
Press says, to partake of his bounty and
to receive his blessing or his healing
touches. Many lodging houses have been
built in Cronstadt by enterprising per-
sons. where the pilgrims are crowded to-
gether, paying what they can. Some OF
the proprietOrs Of these places have bar
gained to secure the presence OF Father
John at their establishments.
OF course 1t is given out that Father
John is so busy that some days must
elapse before he will be able to attend;

archbishop of st. Petersburg summoned
Father John before him and requested
him to cease his supposed miracles.
Soon after the rebuked priest had left
the metropolitan's presence that naughty
prelate was smilten with blindnl IS. The
archbiShopS friends begged him to s nd
again for Father John. He did 80, and
Father John reIented and restored his
sight. variant of this story is that the
metropolitan dismissed John with a wave
of his arm, whereupon his arm came
paralyZed only TO be restored to health
by the tntercession Of he priest. The
fact that the archbishop has never b sen
afflicted either with blindness or pa ally
sis does not interfere with the popular be-
lief in the story.
Father John accepts no money for his
services, either from noble or peasant. II
money Is thrust upon him, he accepts it
solely On behalf of the poor anl suffer- g.
His system of almsgiving is unique AMI
demoralizing. Every day he retei1 es
many letters containing gifts of money.
The letters are opened, the communica-
tions removed and the gifts replaced. Ac-
cOmpanied by priest, who acts as Sc Gre
tary and almoner, Father John app ar5
at 10 o'clock every morning a. the door
of mis- house. They pass along the two
lines of beggars and pilgrims, to the first
of whom the envelope opened first is
handed; the second envelope goes to ths
second beggar. and so on, until the gifts
are exhausted. If there are moro b G.
gars than envelopes. then Father John
sends his almoner for his private purse,
and thus no beggar goes away empty
handed.
Father John Is Of peasant birth, and
has preserved the simplicity Of his early
manner of living. He has a singu' arly
kind and benevolent expression Of face,
and seems really sincere in what he does.
Though most people outside Of Russia re-
gard him as a religious mystic. a dis
tinguished Scottish professor calls him
"the great pillar and far-shining ornament
of the Greek church of our day, and the
greatest Of living spiritual writer's, worthy
to stand before a Kempis."

Inc Senorita Consuelo Arteaga first met
Dr. John NJ. De Soto, who was makiae, a
European tour with his father a ccle-
brated physician of Wisconsin, the author
OIL more than one recognized work on
medicine
In all Granada there was no maiden
more courted than she, for there was
none more beautiful and there were few
Of higher lineage.
Young De Soto, although an American
born and bred, was Of her own race, and
his father yielded TO no grandee in pride
OF birth. In visiting the land OF his an
cestors he had no thought Of winning a
bride, but was bent upon seeing some
| thing Of the world before settling down to

heart.
De Soto the elder was sympathetic.
| Since his son longed to meet the belle
| Of Andalusia he saw no need for oppOsi-
| ton. HIS own family connections made
it easy to procure an Introduction to the
Arteaga family. The young doctor and
the Senorita Consuelo pursued their
! courtship under the difficulties imposed
| by the social customs of Spain, but the
end was as the most sanguine romancer
might have foreseen. They were mar
ried and set sail for America
THE SUNDERED HEARTS.
DR.. De Soto and his bride established
a home in New York, and quickly won a
place in society. The husband worked
hard at his profession and was rewarded
with a constantly augmenting practice.
Fortune favored the young couple in
every way Their means and distinction
won them a footing in fascinating glamor
of romance. AT the same time De Soto
was helped to an enviable status in the
medical world by his fathers renown, as
well as by his own talents. 1t was
strange that political issue should arise
to destroy the happiness of a pair so
happily mated. De Soto the elder, not
withstanding his Spanish origin, sympa-
thized with Cuba in her fight for liberty,
and had contributed large sums to the
reVolutionists during the ten years war.
De Soto the younger shared his fathers
sentiments in this respect, and expressed
them with all the ardor of his youth.
Mrs. De Soto, true to the traditions of
her country and family, looked upon the
Cubans as race of brigands, unworthy
a moments sympathy. 1t was thus that
discord arose between husband and wife
Among the Cuban patriots to acquire an
Influence over Dr. De Soto was Jose Pc
rez, a former aide to Cen Salvador
Cisneros arch revolutionist of Cuba, and
named president during the ten years
war and in the early part of the war
which ended in American intervention.
Perez came to New York in 1884 to or
ganize filibustering expedition. He as

they know that any attempt to remove

to establish a fund sutfiient to sustain
