Mr.. niowizi we'll remembers the terrible
treatment of the Poles during their last
revolt and says he has been an eyewit-
ness of most Of the incidents narrated in
his romance. He writes with the bitter
ness that comes of suffering: 'The Tar
tar enthroned in st. Petersburg is the
dragon that holds the half of two CONT
nents between his terrific iron Jaws, ready
to crush him who dares to put a straw in
his way. Darkest Russia is not

These sentiments form the undercurrye;n rem

with the latest newspaper accounts OF the

And so is my fresh youth fading,
Like the wreath, and as quickly gone

Modern Buildings for the old Hos
pitaL To Be Begun Soon.

The buildings which have been planned
for Bellevue Hospital by DR. John Winters
Brannan. the president Of the board Of trustees
of that institution. to be started early in
October It is expected work the buildings
will begin at the northern end OF the site. AS
soon as one building is ready for occupancy
the next building will be torn down, and so on
until the entire work has been finished. The
site will comprise the entire ground from Twen-
ty-sixth-st to Twenty-ninth-st. and from
First-ave. to the East River.
The erection of the buildings is said to
be largely due to the personal efforts Of Dr.
Brannan, who has succeeded in convincing
Mayor Low, Controller Grout and the Board Of
Estimate Of the needs OF the hospital, and has
had other needed improvements made besides
the new buildings. He has also convinced them
of the needs OF the Fordham and Harlem hos
pitaIs, and work on extensive improvements is
now under way at both these places.

Rome. Aug. 9-The coronation of the Pope to-
day at St Peters was an event of the greatest
importance. Since 1916 no Pope had been
crowned in the vastest temple of Christianity.
and no Pope had celebrated mass there since
1870. The devotion or curiosity of the people
was raised, therefore, to the highest point. and
the demand for tickets almost incredible.
Plus X. like a democratic Pope, had prohibited
the erection of tribunes so. with the exception
Of the diplomatists, the Roman patricians and
a small number of women more than 10000
people were obliged to stand from to
O'Clock This caused serious fatigue. and natu-
rally contributed to diminish the solemnity and
pious character of the ceremony. The people.
suffering from the heat and want of air. became
impatient and the greatest excitement was
aroused when the Pope entered the church after
. o'clock in the sedia gestatoria, which was
horne by twelve scarlet clad bearers.
Plus looked severe and grave and moved as if
he were tired. He apparently disliked the storm
Of applause. having prohibited any loud
repeatedly he waved his hand Indignantly. and
al last awed them into comparative silence
The Pope was conducted first to the Chapel of
the Sacrament. in which the body of Leo lay
in state & few days ago. After short service
the Pope was borne in solemn procession to the
chapel Of ST. Gregory where he robed in
the Pontifcal garments. A new procession was
formed, which took the Pontif TO the high
altar. where he celebrated mass. which
companied by the Papal choir, directed by
Perosi. The music was a fit accompaniment

After the mass the coronation began The
Pope walked TO the tomb of st. Peter, Cardinal
Macchi offering solemn prayers. Then, amid
profound silence, the cardinal put the triple
crown the Pope's head, proclaiming him
Father. Prince and King. To all the faithful
this was the eliminating point but the scene
grew more impressive when Plus rose and i'm
parted the Papal blessing, in a shaking voice, to
the kneeling people
Again the Pope mounted the sedia gestatoria
and, preceded by all the cardinals was borne
through the cathedral, giving his blessing to the
people. He was acclaimed by the masses, who
now disobeyed the order and INDUCED in the
heartiest applause. In the Chapel Of the Pieta
the Pope stepped from the sedia gestatoria and
walked upstairs to his private rooms.

STURGIS'S GOOD WORK.

Fire Losses about Half What They
We're IN Tammany Days.

By way of providing the public with indis-
putable evidence that fusion has given the city
the best administration New-York has ever
had" the Citizens Union is collecting facts and
figures showing the difference between Tam
many government and fusion government
The progress of the Fire Department under
Commissioner Sturgis is shown in a circular the
union will issue this week, as one of the first
guns of the campaign. The annual report Of the
Commissioner for 1902 issued few weeks ago,
disclosed much Of this progress. The showing
for the first six months Of 1903-the first six
months following Chief Croker's removal from
the department-is still more striking. The Citi-
zens Union leafet. which has for a caption
What Fires Cost New-York Under Fusion and
Under Tammany." is as follows:
The all important purpose of the Fire Depart
ment is to put out fires quickly and with little
damage. Compare the difference in results be-
tween the regime of pull and graft under
Tammany and the establishment of fair dealing
and business principles under fusion:

TAMMANY.

Thus while the total number of fires IN the
first six months Of 1903 479 more than IN
1902 and 679 more than in 1901, both the total
and the average losses were decreased to an
unprecedented extent.
Commissioner Sturgis has paid S1rOOO less per
hook and ladder truck, 800 less per fire engine
and S4O0 less per hose wagon purchased than
Scannell paid There was tribute for Marks.
The repair shops have been cleaned out, and a
corrupt conspiracy, subsisting upon poor ma
terials and the connivance of politicians. has
been driven from the department.
Firemen have been allowed to bly, their uni
forms where they might. No political clothing
establishment permitted to continue It's
extortions.
Fire hose has been purchased where the best
material could be procured most cheaply. Fire
men are afraid of poor hose. such as ScaNneH
bought.
Promotions, appointments and transfers are
no longer made for pecuniary political rea-
sons. The promotion syndicate has been put
out of business
Men do not risk life when the road to pro-
motion and power lies in a wholly different and
easier direction. ."-(Fire Commissioner Sturgis's
annual report.
Reduced fire losses bear witness to the whole
story.
This is result Of a non-partisan city admin
istration. If you believe in the benefits Of such
results work for the Citizens Union.
