COUNT LEO TOLSTOI.
Excommunicated from the Greek
 Church in Due Form.
Famous Russian Novelist and Social Philosopher Persona Non Grata with the Members of the
 Holy Synod.

The official organ of the holy synod of St. Petersburg has just published the formal excommunica- tion of Count Tolstoi, the Russian novelist and social reformer, which was announced early in the year, as follows:
 "In it's solicitude for the children of the orthodox church to guard them from being led into corruption, and in order to save those who have gone astray, the holy synod has de- liberated upon the anti-Christian and anti-ecclesiastica1 teachings of Count Leo Tolstoi, and has deemed it ex pedient, in order to preserve the peace of the church, to issue cir cular dealing with the heresies of Count Leo Tolstoi. The circular is as follows:
 "'Count Leo Tolstoi, to the grief and horror of the whole orthodox world, has, by speech and writing, unceasingly striven to separate him self from all communion with the orthodox church, and this not only clandestinely, but openly and in the knowledge of all persons. All att tempts to dissuade him from this conduct have proved without avail Consequently the orthodox church no longer considers him to be one of it's members, and cannot regard him as such as long as he does not repent and does not become reconciled to the church. We, therefore, place on record his apostasy from the church. and pray the Lord to restore him to comprehension of the truth. We pray thee, therefore, O merciful God, who does not desire the death of sinner, to hear us, have mercy on him, and restore him to thy holy church. Amen.'"

Tolstoi virtually as the Catholic church dealt with St. George Mivart a few weeks before the death of that eminent English scientist, and we shall probably hear the same clamor about the suppression of liberty of thought and conscience in the Tolstoi case as we heard in the Mivart case. Those persons who. find in the ex- communication of Count Tolstoi a reproach to the Greek church over look the important fact that a church, in order to be church. must have articles of faith, and that these articles of faith must be adhered to. If the bars are to be let down to Leo Tolstoi, because he is one of the most brilliant noyelists of the century, or to a St. George Mivart, because he has achieved high repu- tation as scientist, they must be let down to everybody. There is no liberty of conscience where only this man or that man is permitted to re- rect such articles of faith as he may see fit, and if this liberty is accord ed to all men, 1t is evident that there can be no church. Something must be accepted, both in government and religion, and there can be no tyran- ny over either thought or conscience when the man who cannot subscibe to the creed of the church of which he is a member has the liberty of withdrawing.
 Tolstoi was as far from ortho- doxy as VoItaire. The author of "An- ma Karenina," ssWar and Peace" "The Kreutzer Sonata .'Resurrec- tion,'' My Confession" My Reli- gion," etc., had created a religion for himself as he had created political economy for himself. However ex- alted it may have been, it certainly was not the religion of the Greek church It was not the religion of any church. It was Tolstoiism pure and simple. The Greek church was compelled either to exeommunicate Count Tolstoi or to set the seal of it's approval upon his religious teachings, which, of course, was impossible. And as Count To1stoi seems to have preferred his own faith to the faith of the church, he has nothing to complain of by reason of his excom- munication No man can expect to retain the benefits of church, while denying the teachings of that church..

ate, is a Connecticut man, and has represented his state in the United States senate since March, 1879. He has been reelected every succeeding six years since that time, and his present term will expire in 1903. MT. Platt says he is tired of having to stay silent upon measures he wishes to talk about and to listen to unlim- ited discussion about measures. to which he is opposed. This sort of sentiment is considered revolutionary by the senatorian code, but MT. Platt -aoesn''t care y-what name they cssIl his programme so long as he can hope to secure it. The Connecticut senator has been associated with parliamentary matters since 1855 when he became clerk of the senate of the legislature of his state. In 1869 he was speaker of the Connecti- cut house, all of which, together with his 22 years experience in Washington, makes him a competent parliamentary critic.

HEAD OF CHEYENNES,
Mary Big Buffalo Assumes Leader
 ship of Indian Tribe.
Although Only 80 Years of Age, She Is Very Shrewd and Maintains Her Power by Seemingly Oc-
 cult Methods.

Much spomp and several incidents attended the ceremony of installing Mary Big Buffalo chief of the Chey- enne Indians, who live on a reserva- tion in Oklahoma territory.
 Not only is Mary the first woman ever appointed to rule an Indian tribe, but she is also gifted with power direct from the Great Spirit, her tribesmen believe. Besides being chosen to attend to all business of the tribe, she will also act as chief medicine man, or woman one should say, for the handful of Cheyennes who have survived the effects of wars and civilization.
 Mary Big Buffalo, now chief of the Cheyennes, is a woman of much tact and common sense. It was she who started the plan to- have all of her people go to Mexico to live, and then when she found that she was op- posed in her plans by the United States Indian agents, who were sure to balk her scheme, she called the Cheyennes together and told them she had received a call from the Great Spirit, and that he told her to remain in the United States. So, instead of showing her weakness to the tribe, she only strengthened her reputation.
 Her installation, says the Chicago American, took place on the reserva' tion near Darlington. The valley is covered with green grass, even in the depth of winter, and the warm sun beats down, making it most pleas ant spot to live in.
 Here for nearly week the whole Cheyenne tribe lay in their tents and enjoyed life.
 Quite suddenly one night Big Snake, chief of the medicine men,

He met with reverses during the panic of 1873, and in 1879 re- moved to Fort Benton, Mont, where he engaged in sheep raising. He was .ssaIozg the faSt in that region to take snp tsls industry, and has continued the business with profit. h 1882 he visited the falls of the Missouri river. and on examining the resources of the surrounding country, was inn pressed with the advantages of the place for city, because of it's unlim- tied water power, it's deposits of coal, and extent of agricultural and graz ing lands. With James J. Hill, of St. Paul, he acquired title to the town site and coal lands, and in 1884 found- ed town and named it Great Falls.

He was facing the problem of build. ing e,2oo miles of road through a noun. tainous or desert plain country, and he not only was without money, but the road lacked the confidence of capitalists. The story goes that in the next ten days he either person ally saw or communicated with by wire or letter 50 of the wealthiest capitalists of England, the United States and Canada. He pledged them to build in five years (his contract with the government for the comple- tion of the road allowed him ten) the uncompleted portion of the road. and also repay them in the same time any advances they might make if they would finance the construc- tion work. Practically his guaran- tee in the matter was no more than his own private word, but the Van Horne word was pretty we'll known even at that time.
 As a result of his solicitations, per emptory showing of his necessities, he commanded at the end of the ten days $10,000,000 in cash, ostensibly that of the company, although loaned, and in 14 days instruction work had begun. In 54 months, or 41s years, MT. Van Horne and his associates had built 1900 miles of the main line and 1,5eo miles of side tracks, or two miles per day winter and sum- mer. He took his rails over the Sel- kirk range, through canyons and gorges, conquered every obstacle of nature, and kept his promise to his packers. Every dollar they advanced or security they gave was either re- paid or we'll protected, and the Cana dian Pacific opened to the world. The total amount which MT. Van Horne is said to have become responsible for during the completion of the road was over $25,ooo, ,ooo-s SIG, ,ooo, ,ooo at first and then $15,Ooo,00o more after ward, and of this sum not one dol lar was ever lost to the men who trusted him when he declared that he intended to finish the Canadian Pacific.

PLUCK WON VICTORY,
What an Illinois Boy Wrought fo.
 the People of Canada.
Completed the Canadian Pacific Rail- way After Its Original Promote CTS Had Given Up Hope
 KniEhted by Queen.

Sir William Van Horne, the head of the Canadian Pacific railway, has just left Chicago with the statement Cuba he believes the Cubans are amply able to govern themselves. Sir Will liam is an excellent example of how an individual can govern himself and 8 good many other people besides. He was born in Illinois 50 years ago, anc began life as a telegraph operator or the Illinois Central railroad. He is now several times a millionaire, anG one of the most powerful men in Can ada.
 Nearly 25 years ago, says the Chi cago Times-Herald, MT. Van Horne was called to the general managership od the Canadian Pacific road. The line was then not yet completed to Van rcouver. There was great gap be. tween Winnipeg and the Pacific ocean and great many Canadians were in existence who did not believe a rail oould ever be laid over that gap. Va. rious governments had tried to com plete the road and failed. Various contractors had gone to ruin in at tempting to carry out government de. mands. In 1880 it looked as if good ten years would elapse before Canada would have a railway from Montreal to the Pacific. Then came in the Var Horne spirit. Capitalists, politicians settlers, merchants were clamoring fo1 the completion of the road.
 MT. Van Horne visited Montreal. He called on the government and he po- itely asked how much money or land or other securities were to the credit of the company at that time upon which cash could be raised. An un- der secretary or under something else said fippantly:
 'The government has no cash for you, MT. Van Horne, but you have con trol of 25, ,OOO, ,OOO acres of land and aboui 800 miles of completed road on which you ought to get something
 The general manager turned on his heel and left the government house
