Russians Become Patriotic.
A patriotic demonstration occurred
here yesterday afternoon. An enor-
nous procession headed by choristers
.f various churches marched through
the city. The demonstrators raised to
their shoulders and cheered all mill.
tary officers they met on the streets.
Massing in front of the winter palace.
the crowd sang the national anthem.
The czar appeared at the window of
the palace and was given a tremendous
ovation. After leaving the palace the
procession halted in front of the
French embassy, and Ambassador
Bompard and his wife and members of
the embassy staff appeared for a few
moments on the balcony and acknowl-
edged the cheering.
Anxious Over China.
Russia is evidently not prepared at
this time to answer Secretary Hays
note on the subject of neutrality of
China. The car doubtless will refer
the matter to Viceroy Alexieff, if he
has not already done so.
Russia, it can be said, is certainly as
anxious as the United States that the
war cause no uprisings or disorders in
China; indeed the attitude of China is
already causing some misgivings here.
as she has not yet declared her neu-
trality.
II is thought here that the action of
the Japanese in flooding Pekin with
posters relating to their victories is
part of well laid plan projected from
the beginning to break down Russia's
prestige in China for the purpose OF
Ultimately effecting union of the two
1o.ces. which would make the yellow
pcril' reality.
Russia has already learned of the DO,
sition taken by several of the powers
regarding Secretary Hays note. Ger
many and Great Britain, it is under.
stood both express sympathy with its
purpose, but with an important reser-
Walton concerning Manchuria, which is
now the theater of war. Germany S
views in this respect were anticipated.
but Great Britain's failure to give Sec.
rotary Hay unqualified support has
caused surprise here.

 The Newtown Library, for whose benefit Miss Gay Zenola Nc Claran will act Shakespeare's play of "Romeo and Juliet," in the Town hall, Satur- day evening, July g, at o'clock, shall be greatly helped in its treasury, for very many are taking interest in the coming of Miss Mo Claran here, and we'll they may. She is an artist almost without rival in her special line of work, which is the impersOnat- ing of the characters of several most difficult plays. To succeed in inter- preting single character matches the ambition of most artists; but Miss McClaran attempts to portray all the characters of her plays and succeeds as the following testimonial from the Trenton IN. J. Daily True American and many others will show: Miss Gay Zenola McClaran acted Wilson Bar rett's entire play, ''The Sign of the Cross," before two large audiences in Association hall yesterday afternoon and evening. Miss McClaran is very charm to the character of Mercia which could not be treated with jus tice by person of mature age. Her portrayal of the leading character, Marcus Superbus, Perfect of Rome, and the Emperor Nero was given with remarkable power. Her voice is ex- cellent, clear and powerful, and of a rarely wide range.-[Trent Daily True American.

He said: 1.-The trouble is, we fail to discriminate be- tween what is important and what is unimportant-or, rather, we mistake the one for the other, and so misdirect our efforts. We neglect the great op- portunities that stand knocking at our doors and waste our energies upon matters of trivial concern. The paper that goes each week into the homes of the common people could go,and ought to 70, as 8 bearer of light and sweet ness and Q messenger of peace and he pc and joy.

 purer and better for their visits, you
 are neglecting your highest opportun-
