Il THIS THE LAST OF THE
CZARS?

VIII the revolution in Russia con-
tinue. until the olgarchy is actually
destroyed? Will the tottering throne
of the Romanoffs be RACED to the
ground. and a government OF by and
for the peasants. be established?
These questions are now OH the lips
of statesmen and economists through
out the civilized world 1t is impos-
sible to conceive how such despot-
ism as Russia can exist today, in the
face of the universal enlightenment.
It seems impossible to believe that the
infection OF freedom will fail to
reach the Russian army, while all
me world around it is reveling in
liberty and self-government
The crisis in Russia will be reach
ed when the test co 'es to the army.
viii the army remain loyal to the
government? or viii the socialistic
spirit burst out in the ranks and open
. revolt disrupt the last defenses of the
throne?
That is to be the crisis.
Russia has planned well to prevent
such an emergency The distribution
of the army is such that no troops
are kept in their native provinces. If
they were the fellow feeling for their
own kindred would cause revolts
against the cruelties OF the govern
ment.
As 1t is now, the troops are strang-
ers To the people in the cities where
they are stationed. a bitter racial
hatred often prevails between the
Russian soldiers brought from a dis
tant province and the people which
the soldiers are to guard. and shoot
down in riots.
This arrangement will tend to avert
any fellow feeling between the peO-
pie and the soldiers. except in a gem
eral way.
Upon this distribution of troops
depends the government. II the in
fection of freedom can be kept away
from the army and the hatred be-
tween the troops and the peasants b'
embittered and strengthened, Mich
-olas may not be the last Of the czari

The emergency clause will probably
not be attached, so the limit of the

luteiy unjust to allow old bachelors

the time to speak out. After all, II
may be a certain sign of prosperity
to raise the license fee. Other cor
porations that are formed in the
state are compelled to pay the or
ganization fee, so it may be just to
raise the tax on matrimonial corpor-
ations. The state should place tax
on divorces, and thus catch them go

Eczema on my head, Legs and arms, and
began treatment with local doctors, but

Second of The Series

The second sermon of the lenten
series on the Passion of Our Lord was
listened to with wrapt attention by
a large congregation last evening,
Very Rev. Father Weigel read from
the Gospels the story OF the betrayal
of Our Lord by Judas. He drew a
vivid picture of the several steps IN
the awful career in hypocrisy and
crime Of this man, chosen by Christ
to be one of the pillars of His church,
showing how his ultimate fall was
brought about by indulgence in his
besetting sin of avarice.
Making the application OF the lesson,
he told of the many followers in our
day of Judas, among those who though
protesting 10 be followers of Christ,
use religion as cloak, while defraud-
ing their fellowman, betraying the
innocent and leading such lives as
were compared by Christ to whited
sepulchres. - He ended with an
exhortation to all to take mp their
cross and bear it with Christ, even
though it lead to Calvary--and through
the gloom of Good Friday pass to the
glorious dawn of Easter joy. Bene-
diction of the Most Blessed Sacrament
was given by Very Rev. Father
Hanley.

CHURCHES MAY ACT
A Movement On Foot to Fur
tner Probe The AFRO
wood Case.

Yesterday Mr.. A. J. McKelway, the
editor of the Presbyterian Standard,
published at Goldsboro. N. O., called
on President Roosevelt at the White
House, Washington, in the interest
of Midshipman Arrowood. who has
been court martialed and dismissed
from the navy for desertion.
Midshipman Arrowood was tried
and convicted at Guantanamo, Cuba.
His conviction carries with it for
fixture of citizenship. Mr. Nickel
way, who is brother of ST. Clair
McKelway, editor of the Brooklyn
Eagle, is a personal friend of the
Arrowood family. He wants the Pres
ident to remit that portion of the sen.
tence depriving Midshipman AFRO
wood of citizenship. The case is too
we'll known to need review concern
ing Midshipman Arrowood's desertion
from his ship. the Kearsarge. and
his subsequent arrest in New York.
Naval officers are very bitter in the
case. They resent what they consider
Islander by young Arrowood, call him
a young man without q proper sense
of his obligations under his service
oath, and demand that he be made an
example. 1t is pointed out that by
dismissal from the navy the very
thing yopng Arrowood wants-he is
not punished at ALL His loss of citi-
zenship is a punishment. they say,
and that portion of the sentence should
also stand.
There is disposition on the part of
church people to sustain Arrowood.
A movement is on foot to have various
Presbyterian conferences demand an
investigation which will show whether
immoralities are practised on Uncle
Sans war ships that make them not
proper places for Christian gentlemen.
Thus there is likely to be an interest
ing controversy between the religious
world and the naval people. No de-
cision has been reached by the Presi-
dent It is said, however. that the
President is inclined to reduce the
sentence to dismissal for absence with
out leave instead of for desertion. That
would preserve Arrowood's citizen

The rbroad laugh" that Mr.. James
Leslie. variously as Otto Buck, the
retired brewer; Hooligan, and Hannl :

Monday night, has been furnished.
The PLAYS as presented were certainly
most lauphable. 1t was announced
Tuesday night that the company would
nlay a return engagement here later
in the season.
Undoubtedly the front seats will be
sold weeks in advance TO young men

Perhaps the title musical farce COM

III we wanted to be hard on them we

burlesoue. Last night the first play,
Jolly HooIigan, was a story of a
man who was starting an all-star the
atrical troupe on the road, and first
hired Hooligan as a man of all work.
Hooligan did good many funny stunts,
and he was the principal part OF the
show. The second part OF the bill,
"Sweet Sixteen, was curious mix
ture of woman's jealousy, mans IN.
consistency, comedy, tragedy and
music, all of which combined to bring
the play TO happy termination Or
all of the persons in the company
James Leslie is without doubt the
funniest and most popular, although
Walter Wills ran a close second.
Among the girls Miss Argerita
Arnold was undoubtedly the best.
She had quite sweet voice and her
high notes were very good. She sang
the Message of the Violet last
night. and if the prince of Pilsen"
had never been here, il might have
been considered par excellence. In.
deed, Miss Arnold is fair rival OF
Miss Fisher. One fault we have to
find with the troupe is that they print
too many names on the program. We
counted them last night, and found
just eight girls. whereas there are
twelve young ladies names on the bill.
From the program it is difficult to tell
lust who is who, the names are so
multitudinous.

ANNAPOLIS SEAPORT,
A Baltimore Man Who Would
Do Wonders on Very
Small Capital.

Just few dollars, only the small
sum of 20, 600 simolioms, is all that
stands in between Annapolis and the
largest seaport in the world. For that
sum, raised by any patriotic citizen
who has never been before bitten, II
is said that the ancient city could be
made to blossom like the rose and tind
q place on the map.
All this and more would be done by
j. b. Cromer, who deals in real es-
tate and finance in Baltimore, having
an Office at No. PIG n. Eutaw street.
Those few twenty thousand cart
wheels which any well known Anna
politan thinks nothing Of spending
for a Sunday dinner would make OF
Annapolis the terminal of q great
trunk line. Hundreds of ships from
many countries far across the sea
would ride at anchor in her harbor,
awaiting the coming of the immense
trains which would fill every street
and alley in the city.
Cromer is in earnest in the matter
and if Annapolis does not move rapid
ly and produce the coin necessary to
carry on this great undertaking, some
other city will get the plum. Even
Camp Parole might step in and dig
out Cowdide branch to sufficient
depth to take care of the traffic that
will be dumped upon it. In an open
letter Cromer says, among other things
"If the people of Annapolis are
wanting the terminal station. yards,
docks, etc., of a railroad reaching
from the Atlantic to the Pacific they
can have the same for so. 600. Bring

When Ynn Have a Gold.

The first action when you have a cold
should be to relieve the lungs. This is
best accomplished by the free use OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This
Remedy liquefies the tough mucus and
causes its expulsion from the air cells of
lungs, produces free expectoration, and
opens the secretions. A complete cure
soon follows. This remedy. will cure a
severe cold in less time than any other
treatment and it leaves the system in a
natural and healthy condition. 1t coun-
teracts any tendency toward pneumonia.
