RISE OF RUSSIAN LETTERS.
Was Last of Slave Nations to Evolve
Literature Worthy of Notice.

OF the many Slavic nations and tribes
that at one time occupied the east of
Europe from the Elba and the. head
waters of the Danube to Siberia, and
from the Ionic sea to the Baltic and
White seas, some have entirely disap-
peared in the ruthless struggle with
a superior German civilization; 9TH
ers, like the Bulgarians and Servians,
have paled into insignifcance under
the lethargic influence OF the crescent,
to be famed to life again within the
memory of the present generation by
a breach of national consciousness,
which is the result of the romantic
movement in European literature;
others, again, like the Rohemians and
Poles, rent asunder by fraternal dis
cord and anarchy, have forfeited their
national existence and are engaged in
an unequal battle to regain it,. Of
all the Slavs, Russia alone has steadily
gathered in the lands of the feudal
lords, to shine at last as a power of the
first magnitude among the sisterhood
of states, and to scintillate hope to its
racial brothers as the sNorthern,
STAR" says the Critic.
The unity of the Russian land was
ever present to the minds of the
writer's in the earliest days of the
appanages. The bard of the ssWord
of Igor's Armament" and Daniel the
Palmer made appeals to the whole
country and prayed for all the princes
in the twelfth century, and for up
wards of four centuries Moscow has
y,
lying districts have been gravitating.
Yet, in spite of so continuous and we'll
defined political tendency, Russia is
the last of the Slavic nations to have
evolved a literature worthy of the
name. Bohemia had a brilliant litera-
ture of the western stamp as early as
the thirteenth century; Bulgaria had
made splendid start three centuries
before, under the impulse of the newly
introduced religion; the Seryian city
of Ragusa, receiving it's intellectual
leaven from its Italian vicinage in
vested Petrarch and Dante with Ser
Wan citizenship in the fifteenth CEN
tury, and, shortly after, gloried in
an epic of Gundulic, and in whole
galaxy of writer's; Poland borrowed
its theology from Bohemia, took an
active part of the medieval Latin lit
erature, and boasted golden age for
it's native language in the sixteenth
century. Russia produced an ac-
cessihle literature only in the second
half of the eighteenth century, be.
came known to western Europe not
earlier than the second quarter of the
next. and had not gained universal
recognition until within the last 25
years.

REMINGToN's DEATH
Said to Have Been Due to a Termin-
ated Love AFFAIR.

Said to Have Been Due to a Termin-
ated Love Affair.
Newport. r. L, Aug 19.-Disappoint-
ment over q broken matrimonial en-
gagement is believed to have been the
cause of the suicide yesterday of Rob
ert r. Remington of New York. Mr.
Remington came over to the reading
room of his hotel from the
La Forge cottage about I
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
shortly after 2 O'clock sought the se-
clusion of the committee room on the
second floor of the clubhouse About
2.3O two sharp but somewhat muff1ed
reports were heard, but those in the
building appear to have ascribed them
to automobiles going by and no atten
ton was paid to them. About an hour
afterward Mr. Remington's body was
found.
Mr. Remington was about 30 years
of age and a member of the firm OF
Remington Bros, advertising agents of
New York. He met Miss Van Allen
some years ago, but it was only during
the past year that their names had
been coupled. About two months ago
the engagement between the two was
announced. and soon after the marriage
of Miss Van Aliens sister Sarah to Rob-
ert J. Collier in this city, July 26, it
was stated that the engagement be-
tween Mr. Remington and Miss May
Van Allen had been broken. 1t is said
that Mr. Van Allen was greatly opposed
to the engagement from the first.
Mr. Remington was an expert auto
mobilist and fond of athletic sports.
Last night his brother telegraphed
from New York to have the body pre-
pared for burial, and said that he
would be on from New York to-day.
The body will be taken to Pittsburg,
the former home of the Remingtons.
The news was broken to Miss May Van
Allen last night and she was greatly
affected. Mr. Van Allen refused to
make any statement.

WORK OF HOODLUMS.
P1 erty on South Street Injured
Whole Fence Thrown Down.

P1 erty on South Street injured
Whole Fence Thrown Down.
The people on Washington hill are
decidedly wrought up over occurrences
which have happened so frequently
there of late that they have become
the rule rather than the exception.
Sunday night a crowd OF hoodlums de-
stroyed every flower garden on South
street They did not steal the flowers
but tore them up in q wanton manner
and aroused the neighborfod with the
disturbance that they created. When
they reached the upper end Of the street
they deliberately fore UP the fence
along the length of the property OF
Bernhardt Hollinger and threw 1t into
the street. AS the fence was a very
substantial affair it must have required
considerable exertion on the part Of the
to do the damage Apropos
of this resident of South street
told one of the officials of the police
department that the people were rather
displeased with the protection that
they were afforded He ex-
claimed. ssWhy / was up there
couple of Sundays ago and found It
the quietest place in town. The Off
cial was asked it, because he had been
there one Sunday in 81, he was a good
judge as to whether police protection
was required, a question that he did
not essay to answer.

THE DAYS BEFORE AND THE DAY AFTER.
Ridiculous Attitude of the American Shown up by Last Nights
Action of Economic LIE ague

In the words of the writer of the
comic. opera "Pinafore," the DeAocrat
to-day can say to Editor Chaplin, 81
told you so, told you so.' The editor
of the American has been trying for
about one week to work up a Strobel
feeling amongst the members of the
economic league. Its object, of course,
Is plain enough to those who can read
between the lines. 1t would under
mine the labor unions if possible, and
it has made every effort to induce some
of the Economic league members to
become traitors. 1t has failed, and
after last nights action the American
finds itself in a ridiculous position to-
day. The league voted unanimously
to stand by Charters in the shrevalty
convention. Here are some Of the say
ings of the American the last three
days:
(Friday's American.y
In opposition to the foregoing 1t Is
said that the action of the committee
last night was taken without knoWl-
edge and consent of rank and file Eco
nomic leaguers, that the opposition to
Strobel is due to a personal resentment
on the part of one of its executive Off
GERS and that the meeting next Monday
night will not be nearly as harmonious
as predicted.
saturdays American.N
Strobel sympathizers charge that
Charters can't carry his own ward in
Ansonia, and Strobel sympathizers are
not the only men who lean to this way
of thinking. Be this a$it may, the
Charter forces continue to put up a
strong and blatant fight.
(Monday's American)
Friends of Mr. Strobel insist that the
league will not accept the report of its
committee and that most of it's mem-
bers will be found in favor Of the Wa
terbury candidate. Tie ac-
tion of the executive committee was
brought about by one man, President
James M. Lynch, who is incidentally
the foreman of the Waterbury Demo-
crat and who brought the woes of the
proprietors of that paper into the
leagues business for treatment.

PAINTERS RAISE OBJECTION
Would Not Work with m. j.
Days Plumbers.

Carpenters and Joiners Refused to
Take Side With Painters and Con-
finued Work Plumbers Say They
Are Affiliated With the National
/ Body But Not With the Local Union
They Will Finish on the Building
To- Morrow, and it is Thought the
Painters VIII Then go Back.
There was strikeson the Mulcahy
Memorial school building OH Cole
street this morning which threaIeneti to
throw the work behind SO that the
place would not be ready for occu-
pancy at the opening af the fall term.
M. j. DAILY is doing the plumbing and
heating and expects to get through to-
day. This morning the painters on
the job informed John w. Gaifney
that the plumbers at work thNre are
not affiliated with the local union ;lnd
that unless they were let go the PANT
ing business would have to stand.
The plumbers mentioned that they be-
long to the national body, but it seems
they are not connected With the local
branch. Something was said about
having the carpenters and joiners stop
too, but the agent didn't see why
they should get mixed up in the snarl
and they kept hammering away. The
four painters picked up their traps and
left, but inasmuch as the plumbers
will be out of the way tomorrow it is
thought that the painting busiacss will
then be taken up and pushed along
without a hitch. The building is one
and in addition to improving the ap-
pearance of things in that neighbor-
hood will relieve the congested condi-
tion in the parochial school and be a
very fitting reminder OF the man
whose memory it is designed to per-
petuate. Father Slocum has given the
matter a great deal of attention and it
must be source of much pleasure 10
him to see it so near completion.

(To-day's Republicans

The endorsement of Stephen Shar-
ters, mayor. of Ansonia, for the shrievs
atty nomination in New Haven county
by the local Economic league, is now a
fact. A meeting of the latter organiza-
ton was held in Academy hall last
night behind closed doors, and the en-
dorsement of Mayor Charters was
unanimous. The delegates were In
structed emphatically to remain in the
Charters ranks solidly to the end and
to continue the work for Charters un-
til the doors of the convention closed.
President James Lynch of the league
was chairman of the meeting, and near
ly 100 new applications for membership
were received, making the list about
450 members at the present time. With

it will secure large percentage OF the
delegates for Charters. This will he

HORSE DRIVEN TO DEATH.

Boys Take Farmer Sill's Horse With
out Authority and Drive About City.
Edward Sills, a farmer, Who halls
from the town of Wolcott. is minus a
fine horse as the result of an escapade
by two reckless youths yesterday af-
ternoon. Farmer Sills drove into town
yesterday and about 4Ko'clock in the
afternoon left his horse and team
standing on East Main street before
Polls theater. The horse had not been
standing there a very long time when
two young men came along, jumped in
the team and drove off. They had q
merry time for an hour or two in driy-
ing reeklessly about the center. Finally
they drove up Cole street about or
$50. They were feeling very happy,
and their < was not of the best.
The resls that they drove the
horse Mt IA into llitching post
in front o. mas Kane's saloon on
Cole street. The horses neck was
pierced by the post and a big hole
made In it, from which the blood
flowed profusely. The horse died a
few minutes afterwards. and the
youths are said to have skipped town.
Owner Sills was around the prose
cutting attorneys Office last night seek
ing a warrant for the youths arrest,
but as he did not know the names of
the guilty persons no warrants were
issued. All he knew about the youths
was that one was an italian and the
other was youth named Reck, who
keeps a bootblack stand on East Main
street near Spring street.
The horse was left In front Of Mr.
Kane's saloon for four or five hours,
and the boys in that neighborhood had
lots of fun around it and caused con-
siderable annoyance to the residents
of Cole street.

AT EARLY Dawn
General Goblin Encamped at
Lansford To-Day.
CAMPING ON BASE BALL PARK.

Strikers Excited Over Shooting of One
Of Their Number-People of Lans-
ford We're Very Much Surprised
When They Awoke This Morning
and Found the Soldiers Eneamped in
Their Midst.
Lansford, Pa, Aug 19.-With all
lights out the train bearing General
Goblin and his staff and the First bat
TALON of the Twelfth regiment under
Major Gearhardt, from Shenandoah,
steamed quietly into this town about
half an hour before daybreak to-day.
After a consultation lasting about ten
minutes between General Goblin and
Superintendent Baird, owner of the Lee
high Coal and Navigation Co, with re-
gard to suitable location for camp,
the battalion disembarked and in a
few minutes were marching to the base
bali park, situated on the western edge
of the town. The strikers were
worked up to such a high pitch of ex-
citement last night over the shooting
of Sharp, who is one of their leaders,
that it was feared an outbreak would
occur this morning and 1t was thought
better to have the soldiers at hand.
During the day it is the intention to
transfer the battalion to Manila park,
shout midway between Lansford and
Tamaqua, and strike camp.
The people of Lansford received a
great surprise when they awoke and
found battalion of soldiers in their
midst. The troops came at the request
of the sheriff of Carbon county. Con
trary to expectations no attempt was
made by the strikers to march to Nes-
quehoning. and no demonstration of
any kind was made either here or at
Nesquehoning. The killing of Sharp
is discussed on every street corner to-
day. and while the strikers denounce
it as an unprovoked and cold blooded
murder. the deputies and coal company
officials declare the shooting was done
in self-defense.

SQUIRRELS AND PIGS.

There are naturalists here, also, and
they have had special opportunity this
year to study the habits of our mis-
chievous and fascinating red squirrel,
a company of whom have taken up
their abode at the very top of the
mountain The creatures are in num-
ber from fifteen to twenty members,
and kind treatment has made them
very tame and confident. Several of
them have been captured, but soon re-
leased, which seemed to give them re-
newed confidence, and now they
mingle with their human protectors
with all the fearlessness of ordinary
domestic animals They are beautiful
little creatures, and it is hoped that
our young friends from below will not
annoy them when they come to the
summit.
There has lived on Mt. Washington
for several years man well versed in
animal lore, who possesses that pecu-
liar power which the dumb creatures
recognize. He is engaged in training
several of the squirrels to perform
tricks, and it would not be surprising
If an opportunity We're given to the
public to see them in their wonderful
evolutions. The gentleman eeferred
