 Czar Nicholas has advised the with drawal of the edict of excommunica- ton against Count Leo Tolstoi by the head of the Greek church, and as the church depends largely upon the im- perial favor for it's revenues the re- quest wiM probably be granted.
 One of the most prolific of modern writers is George Alfred Henry, the writer of stories for boys, who is at present writing at the rate of three books a year. He has 80 stories to his credit now. He reported for the Lon don Standard the Austro-Italian, Franco-Prussian and Turko-Servian wars and the Abyssinian and Ashan- tee expeditions.
 In the Russian town of Jelabuga there was recently unveiled nonu- ment to local Joan of Arc. Her name was Nadyeshada Andreyevna Durova, and she died in 1866, aged s3 years. Im- pelled by patriotism, she had, as a young woman, enlisted, in the army and distinguished herself by bravery. CSPCNld44y III l11C wal O4 AS4f-s ouCSSE quently she became novelist, and her books, filed with descriptions of war scenes, became very popular.
 The fact that Sir Walter Besant died with less than $3o,ooo to his credit has called attention to the fortunes other British writers left. Except Sir Wal ter Scott, no novelist has ever made such sums as would be regarded by men in the money market as wealth. Scott's income averaged for years $50,- 900 year. Dickens left $4o0,000, Thackeray less, Bulwer Lytton, with very keen eye for the main chance and considerable but encumbered es- tate, $4oo,oo
 Maxim Gorki, the Russian writer, is only 33 years of age, was born in Mini Novgorod, lost his father and mother before he was nine years old and set out to make his way in the world at very early age. He wandered all over Russia, undergoing such priva- tions and sufferings that on one oc- casion he tried to commit suicide. At last, after herding with rogues and vagabonds and tramps, both in Europe and in Asia he discovered his vocation and has won his way to worldwide eminence

After being at the head of Tam many for about fifteen years Richard Croker has voluntarily resigned the leadership, and as his successor he named Lewis Nixon The committee that handles such affairs promptly ac- cepted Nixon and henceforth he will be looked to as the Tammany leader. Croller says he is getting old, and that to carry on the work. Nixon is well known and it is thought that he will make an able successor to Croker. He has lots of executive ability, stands for clean politics and was one of the Tam many committee of five named for the purpose of suppressing crime in New York. He was born in Leesburg, Va, April ', 1861. He graduated from the naval academy in 1862 and in 1884 was transferred to the construction corps of the navy. In 1890 he de- signed the battleships Oregon, Indiana and Massachusetts, and then resigned from the navy to become superintend- ent constructor of the Cramp shipyard in Philadelphia. Tn 1895 he left there and started on his own account the Crescent shipyard at Elizabethport, N. J.. where he has built 100 vessels in six years, among others the torpedo boat Holland and the monitor Florida. In 1898 he was appointed president of the East River bridge commission by Mayor Van Wyck.
