raj enemy of the Philharmonic Society. Dr.
Damrosch organized the Symphony Society or

with the Philharmonic, just as Theodore Thomas
had done before him. When the Doctor died

men look up to America as the land OF
freedom and remember with deepest
gratitude the great shiploads of pro-
visions that were sent to India by this
country during the famine. Many of them

IF a man who had lived his whole life
in Washington were put under the
i influence of powerful opiate and
carried. unaware to the apartments
of Mr.. Edmund Russell, in the north
western section of this city, he would, on
~egaining consciousness. rub his eyes,
stare about him and come to the con-
illusion that he had been transported by
come occult power TO the sleeping room
" a rajah in India. Had he read the
ARABIAN Nights" he would look about
him for the wonderful lamp OF Aladdin,
and, unable to discover it, probably lapse
once more into satisfied unconsciousness.
Mr.. Russell has recently returned from
an extended tour through India and the
decorations of his rooms-gifts from the
royalty of the Land of the Lotus-are
souvenirs of his journey. He intends TO
spend a year in Washington and devote
his entire time TO the preparation of a
book on his adventures and studies.
Did as Indians Did.
During Mr.. Russell's stay in India he
did as the Indian did. He lived among
their life. He sat on the floor with his
legs crossed and dined with Brahmin fam
flies. He studied their art, their religion.
their poetry, their literature. and their
wonderful romance. He spoke before
thousands Of native Indians, and at the
end of one OF his lectures was embraced
BY an Indian prince, who exclaimed: You
are my brother. you are more oriental
than the Orientals!"
Mr.. Russell's knowledge OF India is not

only looks for the worst. That is pre-
cisely what many writers of books upon
India have done. From the humanitarian
standpoint, these teachers may give much

Of the poor, is full of earnestness, devo-

ignorance of what they would overthrow

written by three classes of authors. There
are the tourists book, the missionary's
book and the English book.

be cleverly done and interesting fiction,
but as picture of the country or a de-

The Missionary's Book.
AFTER the tourists, the average mis-
sionary's book is the worst that is writ

sionary goes into the East filled with
zeal and enthusiasm, to teach a people
