THE COUNTESS ToLsToI.
Wife of the Noted Russian Reform CT and SocioIogist Has Shown
 Rare Devotion

Countess Sophia Andrerovna Tol- stoi, wife of the famous Russian nov elist and sociologist, pay be account ed one of the most remarkable wom- en in Europe. She has stood fast by her husbands side in all his ups and downs of fortune and was his main stay during his recent disgrace by the Russian government for having defended the Hberty-loving students of St. Petersburg.

EXPANSION OF LEAGUE.
at present

Chicago, Aug S.-President Ban Johnson, Charles Somers of the Bos- ton club, Henry -Killilea and Fred Gross of Milwaukee, and Charles Com miskey of the Chicago club were in ses- sion here again last evening relative to the expansion of the American league At the end of the session MT Johnson said there was nothing new to which the public was entitled but intimated further developments might be ex- pected at any rate. It is surmised that the conference was in regard to the placing of club in St Louis next sea- son, a move which has already been an nounced by the American league.

scribes her as ''high flyer at fash ion." Judging from accounts of re- cent visitor to Russia, the same dis tinction characterizes the husband and wife. This visitor describes his interview with the great author and reformer. The count was in peasant dress and received his guest in a plainly furnished study. But when the two repaired to the reception room they found the countess in magnificent court costume, and the ladies who were with her were sim ilarly attired. These things, how ever, are mere matters of taste. From the events of the late uprising in Russia it would seem that the countess has a peculiar right to be heard and honored by everyone. Her husbands communication gave her an opportunity of issuing public letter which was especially appeal ing. The brave wife closes her letter in these words: "God will be Ienient to those who even outside the church have lived life of humility, renun citation of the good things of this world, love and devotion. His par don is surer for them than for those whose miters and decorations sparkle with precious stones, but who strike and expel from the church those over whom they are set as pastors. Hypocrisy would vainly distort my words, for good faith does not err in judging peoples real intentions" ]" Countess Tolstoi for many years has acted as her husbands friend, secre- tary and critic. The romance of their lovemaking is found in ssAnna Earenina."

 Preparing for the McGoyern-
 Roberts Bout.
 John O'Brien, the Philadelphia mid dleWeight, who has won more easy money in England than ever before came to boxer, recently visited the home of his parents in County Derry. and was the recipient of an illuminated address from his townspeopIe. It reads: We, your many friends and admirers, on this the occasion of your visit to Ballinascreen, extend to you in the sweet language of the Gael, a "Caed mille Failthe." We welcome you as an exiled son of Ireland for though born and raised in America. the home of so many of our kith and kin. land We love so well, still we know your heart, your feelings and sympa- thies are as Irish as if your boyhood days were passed under an Irish sky. and that the cause of Ireland. next 10 that of your own dear motherland. will ever find in you the warmest, the most loyal and devoted friend. We also know you inherit from Irish parents the true spirit, the daring and the yalor of the Irish race. We welcome you, too, not indeed as an internation- al champion, for though your signal defeat of the best and bravest England could put in the field against you smith, Thompson, Chrisp and Neumier was not in the sense of Ireland ys England, still from the colors you wear, the Stars and Stripes and the green and the shamrock of Ireland. we should be entitled to herald you and welcome you as an Irish victor We are justly proud that you carry back to your motherland the unique distinc- ton of being the first foreigner who has ever won the heavyweight cham plonship of England, for from the time of John C. Heenan down to the pras- ent opponents of the manly art of all nationalities, all failed to succeed. Even such celebrated men as John l.. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain failed to win that proud title. We therefore beg your acceptance of this little address and accompanying present as n slight memento of your visit to the old home or your parents. visit that we fonflly hope will leave pleasant and endearinr memories; and we are certain your dear parents will hear in it a voice from the old land, recalling to them their happy days of childhood, when they romped in youthful innocence the sunny wales and green fields of their native Ireland. In conclusion We beg to assure you we shall ever manifest in your future welfare the5deepest in- terest and concern, and we sincerely hope it may be our privflage in the near future to welcome you again the proud title bearer of champion of the world" If O'Brien fulfills all the good wishes in that illuminated ad- dress he will certainly prove the pugilistic phenomenon of the age.
