RUSSELL'S Short
HAND COLLEGE

Among the institutions of Danville
which are doing an important work
and doing il IN an unostentatIous way
there is one which should not be lost
sight of. We refer TO Russell's
short hand college, which for eight
years past has been fixture in the
third floor of the Opera House block.
How many people know that during
its brief history Russell's short hand
college has sent out as graduates III
typewriting and short hand one hun
dred and fifty of our young men and
women, all of whom found demand
for their services and have been enab-
led 20 work their way upward on a
career Of usefu lness.
Professor Russell receives some very
valuable testimonials but there Is
none which he esteems more highly
than tribute paid to his college by
Mr.. p. H Burns, Manager of the
Smith Premier Typewriting Company.
during a recent visit TO this city. Mr..
Burns assured Mr. Russell that the
most rapid and accurate stenographeTs
whom his company places in positions
come from RusSell's short hand col
lege.
The reason for this undoubtedly lies
in the absence of all class work in
MIR. Russell's institution. visit to
the college yesterday found the pro
tessor engaged in purely personal aud
private instruction-sea seated by the side
OF the students. Such he claims is
the only effective method of teaching
short hand and typewriting.
Last year out of a patronage of thir-
ty-two pupils not one failed to secure
a position in the large cities at salar-
les ranging from four hundred to sew
en hundred dollars per annum. The
demand for graduates in short hand
and typewriting at present Is some
thing remarkable. The applications
come through the type writing com
panies and there are several vacan-
cies awaiting every graduate. Pro-
fessor Russell yesterday produced a
collection of letters all of recent date
in which he was informed by agencies
where vacancies exist the firms being
responsible, old established concerns
The secret of the many vacancies lies
ia the fact that position as stenog-
rapher and typewriter is sure to bring
ont in an ambitious young man or
woman all their talents and the quail
titles i'm general which tit them for a
career OF business with the result that
in short time they are pretty sure tn
be promoted to higher and more re-
sponsible position Typewnting and
stenography therefore become step
ping stone.
Graham's : system of shorthand is
employed by Professor Russell, which
he states, is the only system recogniz-
ed by the commercial world as accur-
ate and rapid.

DENOUNCED AS A
BOGUS BISHOP

The amazing record of former
Russian soldier and priest, who styles
himself Bishop SeIaphin and who re
Gently with Prot. Baozinski held ser
vices at Shamokin, was revealed last
week by Russian Consul General De
Lodygensky, at New York 1t Is
one OF the most remarkable exposures
ever made in this country, says the
New York American. Its author, for
a year has successfully represented
himself as Seraphin, bishop of holy
ordination and Metropolitan of Amer
lea by special appointment of the Rus
sian Holy Synod.
His travels in the United States and
Canada for twelve months have been
dotted with 36 illegal marriages per
formed, 3l4 protane baptisms and Sl2, =
600 collected by himself and priests of
his conservation for building a monas-
terry in New York to be the centre of
the Russian Orthodox Church in
America
Steps are beingrtaken by theliRus-
sian Embassy at Washington to have
the bogus Metropolitan arrested and
extradited to st. Petersburg to stand
trial before the Russian Holy Synod.
According to Consul DeLodygens-
Ky the spurious prelate has been loca-
ted in Pennsylvania, near ShamOkin,
and his arrest will be made as soon as
necessary legal steps can be taken be-
tween the State Department and the
Russian Embassy.
When 1t ia known that bogus Bishop
Seraphin-or Stephen Ustvolsky-has
himself performed thirty six Ceremo-
MES. 1t is not known how many have
been solemni7ed by the thirty one
priests ne ordained in this country and
Canada.
Only by chance was the discovery
made few days ago OF the amazing
fraud perpetrated upon the Russian
Orthodox Church in this hemisphere.
Ussolsky arrived in Yonkers four
months ago, bearing papers alleged to
have been signed by members OF the
Holy Synod in St. Petersburg appoint
ing him Metropolitan of America.
This new styled bishop was in Sha-
mokin last week and later left for
Minersville where he met complete
failure in organizing mission. The
last heard of the man was on Tuesday
when he was in Reading.
Two weeks ago Michael Bacynski. a
former chorister in the Shamokin Rus
sian church, was ordained into the
ministry" in New York Oity by the
bogus bishop. Seraphin about two
weeks ago united in marriage in New
York City, a Shsmokin couple, Mich
ael Byozynski and Miss Tessie, the
sixteen years old daughter of Mrs
Mary Luczkovac. who conducts a sa-

WANTS Big DAMAGES
Dubuque Girl Values Broken Heart
at $500, 900.

Dubuque Ia, Aug. STA broken
heart, a bundle Of love letters and d
request for judgment in the sum of
100000, are what Miss Sarah Ham,
of Seventh avenue, this city, brings
into court at Duluth, MINI, in an eff
fort to have justice melted out to
George Potter, a millionaire lumber
man of that city, for breaking his
promise to marry her.
A bundle of love letters, teeming
over with tender sentiments and ad.
miration, protesting unjying fidelity
and declaring that he would never
live without her, will play promi-
nent part in the trial. The courtshlp
is of twenty years. standing, during
which time Potter welded another
woman unknown to Miss Ham. This
made no difference, however, and
cooled his ardor not one jot, for he
promised to wed his Dubuque lover
just as soon as the lawful wife passed
away.
George Potter is So years old, fine
looking, a good business man, and
shrewd. Il story runs that years ago,
when Miss Ham and he were lovers,
she took pity on him and gave him
money with which he started in bus
mess and from which he afterwards
grew rich.
Potter was once a business partner
of the late George Burch. Potter
was secretary Of the lumber COM
pany of which Mr.. Burch was presi-
dent, and in which Congressman Bah
cock, Of Necedah, Wis, was interest
ed. Potter was also at one time a
business partner of ex-Secretary of
War Alger. In his answer to Miss
Hams petition Potter declares that
he is worth only $15O,00O, but Brad
streets, it is said, rates him at half
a million. ....
Miss Hams father was a wealthy
lumberman here twenty years ago,
and to large extent controlled the
rafting trade on the Mississippi in
this section. 1t was he who brought
Geo. Potter to his home ami intro
duced him to his daughter, who was
then 10. Unsuspecting, she soon fell
victim to Potter's charms, as he
called frequently. When she discov-
cred that he had a wife and family
he soothed her by the story that he
intended to marry her Just as soon as
the wife, who was an invalid, died.
Thus, she claims, she was guiled by
him. She accompanied him on many
of his eastern trips after her father
died, visiting New York, Chicago and
other points frequently in his COM
pany. Previous to his death, the ell
der Ham LOST the bulk Of his fortune
and Miss Ham alleges that she made
large loans of her inheritance to Pot
ter to help him in his business ven
lures.
