Some Anecdotes of "pizzy.v

Wilfred Meynell has lately published
a tWo-Volume biography of Lord Bea-
consfield, which contains many new
stories of him, and some which will
bear repeating. When Lord Bury, aft
erward Earl of Albermarle, Joined the
Church of Rome, he went to Disraeli
to confess.
He began by saying that a difficulty
had arisen, quite unconnected with pol
ftics, and that he was afraid it meant
party embarrassment, and that he
therefore placed his resignation in his
leaders hands.

"Well, if you like-the Scarlet Lady.

Lord Beaconsfield-Bu how very

can tell me, what was terribly puzzling
me, the appropriate thing to say in
congratulation.
Sir William Harcourt, a political RI
val, but still an admirer of DisraeIi,
once paid pretty compliment to Lady
Beaconsfield.
He was dining with the Disraelis,
and sat beside the hostess, who OBJ
served that he was looking at the pic
'ture of lightly -robed lady on the wall
opposite, and said: 1T Oughtn't to ba
allowed in here; but it is nothing to
the Venus that Dizzy has up in his
bedroom"
THAT can well believe" replied he,
with a gallant bow. This was
one of the rare occasions on which
Disraeli smiled.-New York CONNER

Southern regions free from this white

what as the earth's is, it would have
seasons similar to ours, and we can
readily calculate just when they should
nave their coolest weather in the
Northern hemisphere, and when in the
Southern. Now actual observations
confer this theory, even to the fact
that there should be the least snow
around the pole in that hemisphere
which has its summer when nearest to

was till the assassination of King
which had no treaties linking her to
either Austrian OF Russian policy, a
cause to her of interior unrest and in
stability. Servia's geographical posi-
ton makes her important from a mill
tary strategical point of view. This
position makes grave interior troubles
inevitable In this little unhappy coun-
try SO long as the Balkan question has
not been thoroughly liquidated between
Russia and Austria. In case of war
with Turkey, Austria would be obliged,
as a first military necessity for the
protection of her line of operations, to
occupy Servia.
10 consider the two other Slavonic
Balkan states. Montenegro first in
1881 concluded an agreement with
Russia, by which she became de facto
RUSSIAN province with the prince as
a hereditary governor. According to
diplomatic gossips, this agreement is
responsible for Prince Nicholas be-
coming by degrees "the father-in-I law
of Europe ~
Bulgaria up to recent years had to
suffer the same effect in her interior
policy as is, seen in SerVia, growing
out of the rival interest of the two
great HelSnpofS. .F1naily, she made a
convention with Russia similar to the
Montenegro convention of 1880 By
this arrangement the nomination of her
war minister depends upon Russian
approval, as does that of any superior
officers in the Bulgarian army. Rus
STA also has the right of occupation of
the ports of Narna and Burgas.
Russia aspires to direct supervision
in Macedonia, that is of the territory
of Greater Bulgaria, of the San Stefano
treaty, and of the Bosphorus. Russias
economical eXigency requires free en-
trance and harbor in. the Mediterra-
mean; this denied her, she would be
forced to seek outlet in either the Per-
sian or Indian ocean. Russia, once
mistress of the Balkans, arrives at the
terminus of her political mission laid
down by Peter the Great and traced by
the steady and continuous policy of the
last two hundred years, which would
link together all the Slavonic nations
Russians and non-Russians, and erect
a formidable Russian empire.
The German ambitions and plans fol

tries in her scheme. Austria, German

can be seen in her administration
of Bosnian and Herzegovina, once
purely Slavonic countries, and today
overrun and covered by German COL
onies, furnished with emigrants made
in Germany"
Austria's destiny is to be absorbed
by greater Germany or by a great
Slavonia:
Germany's greatest danger lies in the
Balkans-her economical and political
future is in the Orient-with the mar
kets and rich fields of colonization of
Persia and the East. The new Bag
dad railway scheme indicates clearly
this aim and points to her necessity of
having Salonica as port. To be cut
off from the Mediterranean by Rus
sian extension, or by an autonomous
Slavonic state free from German con-
troll, would condemn her to remain
within her own border and provoke her
economical downfall. Austria is the
guardian of this political aim: Mace
donia devastated and unpeopled, with
her great natural riches, is the ideal
land for German colonization. The
Balkans once in German hands, the
German world empire, stretching
across Syria to Persia and the East,
| becomes an accomplished fact.
Autonomy is desired by the SlaVonic
nations in themselves, the Bulgarians,
/ the Servians, and the Macedonians
(now under Turkish rule), the Bos-
mans, Creates, Slovenes, Tcheko-
Slovacs, the Poles, and the Rutha-
| mans (now under Austrian rule)-in
all a total of about $4,000, 900 Slays

| tionality, their own language, litera-
ture, history and individuality; and to
keep that independence, or to gain it,

These nations, one and all, are
violently opposed to either remaining
| or coming under Germanic or Russian
| rule.
The term, Pan Slavism," as usually
employed, is misleading. 1t should
read Pan Russism," which aims at
/ the complete absorption and subjuga-

Russian customs, Russian language,

DRAMATIC ART PUPILS
Those of Lyceum School Will Give
Performance Next Friday
Afternoon.

The first dramatic performance of
the Lyceum School of Dramatic Art
and Music, Mrs. st. John-Brenon,
principal, will be given at the Lyceum
theater, Friday afternoon. Three
months ago the school was entirely
reorganized, and Mrs. st. John Brehon
brought the ablest talent that could
be secured to give fresh life to build
up a school which she hopes to make
the rival of the best New York schools.
Fiddes Page, a Well-knoWn English
actor and scholar, has been chosen di-
rector, and altlfo none of the pupils
who appear in the plays has studied
longer than three months, several of
them show decided dramatic talent
and as all are hard, workers the per-
Torrance promises to be of excep-
tional interest. 1t will show the value
of beginning at the right end first
and acquiring q. foundation of techni-
cal knowledge, which can be impaired
only by one who himself knows the
technicalities of the stage.
Mr.. Page is not only an actor who
for thirty years has been connected
with such theaters as the Savoy, AL
hambra and Opera Comique of Lon
don, with the best travelling English
companies, but a. scholar as we'll. He
is an English soldier, a, widely trav-
eled man, and a member of the Royal
Geographical, society, having gained
the latter honor early in life on ac-
count of researches made in Egypt
under Sir Thomas Barnes, the noted
explorer. His personality is one that
gains confidence at once.
The instructors are Byron BeaSley
and Frank Halo. Claud Madden is

and Instructor of the violin. Francis
