NJ Pobedonostzeff has been denomin-

two emperors has been his mistaken be-

Beveridge of Indiana: Russia, Russia

Figuratiyely NJ. Pobedonostzeff spat up
on the civilization of the west Democracy
to him was irresponsible despodsm, and
liberty a license, and he was especially
hostile to a free press. For irresponsible
editors sitting in judgment on any and
everything, and lightly fomenting trou-
Bile, and interna tional strife for which a
monarch wou.-- be dethroned, and re-
sponslble officials diseraced was to him
an abomination.

GIRL
MUST FIGHT
MARRIAGE SHE BOASTED
THAT HER FACE WAS HER FOR
TUNE, IS IN LINE WITH GREAT
RICHES.

NEW YORK, August 19.-Godlie
rMoh will have to fight for her share
of the fortune of Allan w. Wood, the
Pittsburg millionaire, who married her
against the wishes of his family and
died yesterday at the Roosevelt Hos
pital. She is former chorus girl. Her
husbands fortune is estimated at from
$15, 100000 to $4,000, 90.
It's the widow against the whole
family" said Henry w. Catlin, attor-
ney for Wood, today. Catlin was
Woods confidential man, and it is
known that he drew up the will. He
intimated today that Wood had be-
queathed most of the estate to the
widow.
Although Woods family knew of
his illness, only his son, Clark Wood,
was at the bedside when he died.
Another son is on the way here from
California.
Since her marriage to Wood, Goldie
Mohr has led Il very quiet life with
her husband in an apartment here.
Before the marriage she was a typical
chorus girl, with pretty face, which
sic OllCt DOiSlSu Ntgo llGI lOlIullS'
1t has proved to be so, since it has
put her into line to become a multi
millionaire.
While Goldie Mohr was familiar
figure to patrons of certain theaters
here, her most sensational appearance
in public was during an evening per-
Torrance of the circus in Madison
square Garden in 1901, when on a
wager made at dinner party, she
rode down a steep, incline in ain au-
tomobile with a performer, whose
thrilling shoot to the ground was one
of the features of the show.

IOWA FALLS Oa.), August 19.-Golf
and religion will be mixed for the ben

bers of a new sect known as Christian
Golfists, just founded by Rev. George
Cady one of the best-known divines in
Iowa.
DR.. Cady, who is an enthusiastic
golfer, manages to play the game, it is
alleged, without using profane language
when he makes a mighty swipe at the
ball and fails to hit it, and he thinks
he can induce some other enthusiasts to
drop that most unnecessary adjunct. AS
a health promoter he declares golf beats
the remedies proposed by Mrs. Eddy or
DOWie
IF you tack religion on to almost
any enterprise it will soon attract a lot
of followers" he said Il don't know
anything that needs an admiXture of
religion worse than golf does, and,
therefore, / have decided to organize
the Christian Golfists."
