"a FINLAND.
Efforts on the part of the Danish
oyal family to, arrest Russian ty.
In Finland have come to
nauent, owing to the opposition Of
certaln OF the cars advisers. When
the dowager empress of Russia, who
~ the sister of Crown Prince Fred.
elk OF Denmark, was visiting the
osnlsn court recently, the crown
Prince who is married to Princess
louise OF Sweden and Norway, and
AoAloW1 the events in Finland with
ereat3ssrief, requested the dowager
empress to use her influence with
ner son, the car, in favor of the
rInlanders when she should return
~ Russia. Her majesty undertook
1uiniI Prince Frederik's wishes,
OUT her unpopularity with the in
nuentlal members of the cars en-
courage resulted in the de-
1eat of her purpose and marked
GOODNESS between herself and her
son. Advised of the result, Prince
frederik, who is the favorite uncle
OF the car, wrote an affectionate
message to his majesty, pleading
the cause of the Fins. Nicholas and
Prince Frederik were bosom friends,
and when the car was heir appar-
ent he kept up long correspond
ence with the Danish crown prince
concerning western culture and So
clal progress. Frederik succeeded
In making great impression on the
mind of his imperial nephew, and
Tor some days it seemed as tho his
maJesty's attitude on the Finish
question would undergo a change.
AT this critical juncture the uncom-
promising adherents of absolutism,
headed by Pobiedonostzeff, procura-
tor general of the holy synod, again
took the field against Finland. Pob-
iedonostzef warned his majesty
that he was about to commit a sin
against Providence. He reminded
the car that according to the Rus
sian national confession of faith the
greatest blessing to any country
was that it be governed by Russia
and that its absolute rule was by
divine right. Nicholas was advised
by Pobiedonostzeff that to deprive
any part of the empire of this bless
ing would be wrong and would be
certain to entail disastrous conse-
quences to the dynasty. The pro-
curator prevailed and the car wrote
Prince Frederik a letter full of me-
Citation on the divine right of
kings. Prince Frederik, having
read the cars epistle, exclaimed:
Its all over, Finland as a nation
will disappear"
Ex-senator Hechelin, who is now
residing at Stockholm, has been
served with an order from General
Count Bobrikoff, governor of Fin
land, forbidding him to return to
this country.
Maxim Cork, the noted Russian
novelist, fairly fays his countrymen
on account OIL their political meth
DDS. Below is part of what he
wrote to the Frankfurt Kleine
Presse: '"The cultivated classes of
Russia are a crowd of cowardly
slaves, ready to accept every lie to
save their ease and comfort. These
hppocrites, with the name of God
on their lips, who preach in Russian
society hatred of the Jews, Armen-
ians and Films today heap base and
cowardly calumnies upon the corpses
of those killed thru their influence,
and they shamelessly continue their
hateful work of poisoning the mind
and feeling of the weak-willed Rus
sian society. Shame upon their
wicked heads! May the fire of con-
science consume their decayed
hearts, covetous only of lackey-like
honors and slavishly obsequious to
power"

Miss Anna Nilsson of Vestervik
may justly be called foot artist.
She was born without hands. But
she can thread the needle as easily
with her toe. as dressmaker can do
it with her fingers. She can handle
scissors, put on her spectacles, make
tapestry and pearl ornaments and
write fine, easily igible hand.
One of her most noted efforts is an
ornament on the covers of book.
It took her seven weeks to perform
this work, and she used 5000
pearls. 4 - - - =.
