Tolstoi in Yiddish.-Must
Withdraw from Friends

Moscow, Oct. 14.-Tolstoi has writ
ten two short novels to be sold for the
benefit of the Kischinef Jews. They
are In the form Of fables, and in order
that the Jews themselves may enjoy
the reading, Tolstoi permitted their
original and the Yiddish- Russian edi-
tons will appear simultaneously.
How Tolstoy Escapes Visitors-In
answer to a letter from your CORE
spondent, Tolstoy, writing from Jas
naja Poljana, says: II will remain
here for the winter, because I have
not long to live, and when I am in
Moscow, visitors, whom I like to see,
absorb too much of my time, while to
friends would be intolerable. AS Jas
naja Poljana is out Of peoples reach,
I have no doubt that I will find, during
the long winter months, the necessary
leisure to finish what. I have in hand.
Most probably I will never leave Jas.
naja Poljana again. Please deny the
reports Of my i'll health. I am doing
very we'll for an old man. 3. ,
The story that the Russian govern
ment has forbidden Tolstoy to come
to Moscow was untrue, Of course.

the reports that the government has
planned to follow up the Jew slaugh-
ters with Armenian massacres are true
or not, / cannot say, but 1t is signif1-
cant that the official papers are
offering excuses for ever blaming the
Turks for getting rid of their Arme-
mans in the way they did, (by whole
sale assassination.
One paper says: 1T is an undenia-
BILE fact that the Armenians, as a peo-
pie, are fa1thless and undeserving of
sympathy. Just now these foreign
ers within our borders are engaged in
a conspiracy against the welfare of
Russia, and it behooVes the govern
ment to take the strictest measures
against the traitors
without apparent reason, half a
dozen atrocious murders in. different
parts Of the empire are charged to
Armenian miscreants," and even such
conservative papers as the Nowoje
Wremja demand that the Armenian
clergy be suppressed like their Cath

their essfng-room", over the heads
OF part Of the audience.
When the eventful evening came
standing room was at a premium and
in the dim light given by oil lamps and
talloW candles, each Minneapolitans
realized that all his neighbors We're
present. The price of admission, 81,
with an extra quarter for a reserved
seat, was prohibitive in some cases,
altho the era of bundles of shingles
as currency had not yet arrived. That
came a year later.
Ole Bulls reputation had preceded
him, but the prima donna was a COM
paratively unknown quantity, until
she had sung the first bar Of one of
her songs Then Ole, the great violin
list, took second place in their affec-
lions and Patti was raised on a pedes-
tai which she has ever since occupied.
The piano used on that occasion
was loaned by Mrs. John H. Stevens,
and had been transported from her
home (the: first house built in Mime
apolis)& to the hall, on an improvised
dray. Considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting it upstairs: Pro-
lessor c.: A.. Widstrand who was at
that time engag ed in teaching music
and selling and tuning pianos, and
who was himself a musician of some
note, tuned the instrument, and is
even yet proud of the commentator
he received from Ole Bull. s...,s = .
The instrument had but six octaves;
making it necessary for the pianist,
Mr.. Roth, to change some of his music
to conform to the limitations of the
key board. However, that was an in
cident that did not interest the audi
ence, and after Patti began to sing
they would have dispensed with the
piano entirely - .r -
According to the testimony of Pro-
lessor Widstrand and one or two
other survivors of that memorable .oc-
CASTOR, the editor Of the local paper

hearty Endorsement, which appeared a
few. days after the econcert-voiced
