Erds Rule of Absoiutism.

Erds Rule of Absoiutism.
Count White. Russia's first premier,
last night sent the above message to
the American people through the AS
ISOLATED Press. He had just arrived
at his residence from Peterhof, where
the emperor two hours before had
given his final approval TO manifesto
and to a program which will forever
end the rule of absolutism exercised
by him and his Romanoff ancestors
for 300 years.
A simple pelusal of the manifesto
shows how complete is the emperor's
abdication of his autocratfc power
The very style of the document
Is Clear and Direct.
and devoid of the verbose, vague and
bombastic phraseology which hereto
fore has characterized his majesty's
manifestos. 1t not only betrays real
authorship, but shows that the emper-
or at last has irrevocably bowed to
the inevitable. He does not even con-
ceal the fact that the discomfort and
agitation Of his subjects has driven
him to take the step. and practically
Yields everything-civil liberty, the
inviolability of person and liberty of
conscience. speech and assembly.
He not only converts the farcical
imperial douma, with only consulta-
tive power. to an absolute
Legislative Assembly,

ure shall become law and before which
all governmental authorities must an
Swer, but promises eventually univer-
sal suffrage.
The title "autocrat of all the Rus
sias" with which the manifesto begins,
now takes it's place with the title of
'King of Jerusalem" borne by the
king of Spain and the emperor of Aus
tria, and with other obsolete titles of
European sovereigns.
]. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., and George
w. Perkins were with Finance Minister
Kokovsoff when the latter received
the news. 1t was dramatic moment.
The minister was called to the tele-
phone, and when he returned he was
greatly agitated, and said:
Old Order Is Changed.
Gentlemen, the old order Of things
has changed. Russia has constitu-
ton"
The news spread like wildfire
throughout the city. The revolution
lists and active agitators generally de-
clared loudly that the governments
promises would no longer suffice, and
that the strike must be continued.
In fact. an hour after the news be-
came known, the revOlutionists took
occasion to throw the first bomb in st.
Petersburg used since the strike be-
gan. The incident occurred near the
Polytechnic school, but there was no
fatality.
Is Read With Delight.
Practically all classes except the
socialists ard the extreme radicals,
however, read the document with de-
light and amazement, declaring that
it could not fail to rally the moderates
TO the support of Count White.
The effect throughout Russia is ex-
pected to be instantaneous. While
the extremists threaten an attempt to
keep up the present struggle the best
Of opinion is that the back Of the

the mule finally stopped at Mr..
Shealy's, and the young man was

been young man OF about seven

That a successful business
can only be attained through
honest dealing, prompt service
and indefatigable attention to
detail.
That no permanent success was ever
attained through trickery and subter-
fuge.
That quality wins first, last and al
ways, and that manufacturers produce
different classes Of Pianos.
That there are some Pianos much bet
ter than others.
That it is our policy never to misrep-
resent anything, nor allow our salesmen
to do so.
That we know that, this is good pol
icy, because through strict attention to
these methods, our business continues
to grow rapidly.
That it means good deal to you to
know in advance that the reputation of
our line of pianos have been established
from IS to 50 years.
That there is one in Columbia used at
least 40years, and the tone quality shows
no evidence Of going out of business.

from Malone's Music House will be the
best that we, with years Of experience
in choosing the best, can buy,

From time to time in the recent
past the Dispatch has claimed that
Lexington was one of the prettiest
little villages in the State. The
scenery hereabouts is simply beauti.
full in it's grandeau. Its residences
and stores and public buildings are
among the handsomest aud most
modern in arrangement and conVe-
nience; it's fields and farms the most
fertile and the most productive; its
water the puriest and its climate the
healthiest. In short all the beauty
and prosperity which marks tae pro-
qress of towns does not outrival the
charms and prosperity of Lexington.
As proof Of this claim We shall from
time to time, beginning with this
number, give Photographic views OF
the: town and county Of Lexington.
rYhis week We give two scenes-one
showing the county jail and the
other Lower Main street, looking
east.

the BIGGEST elephant Tusks
ever FOUND.

This is picture Of one of the two
largest tusks that ever came into the
ivory trade. Both came from the same
animal.
The specimen here supported by four
ivory carriers weighs 247 pounds.
Think of carrying around to very
venerable age q weight of nearly 500
pounds in tusks alone! No wonder
that an elephants neck is so thick
and muscular.
One day about eight years ago a
party Of black elephant hunters on a
slope of Mount Kilimanjaro saw the
animal that was carrying these won
derful tuSks around and killed it. The
villagers down below were much as
tonished when they saw four men
carrying the ivory down the mountain.
They had never seen tusk before that
was more than one-man load.
The tusks were taken to Zanzibar,

Newspapers and "StyIe."

DR.. Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton
University, seems not to feel quite as
Mr.. James does about our newspapers.
Talking lately to representative Of
the New York Herald about the de-
fciencies of college undergraduates in
writing English, he praised the Eng
lish Of the newspapers as remarkably
good. He found it generally terse and
clear and to the point, and was sur
prised that so many reporters, writ
ing 50 hurriedly, wrote so well. It is
odd that there should be this dispar-
ity Of impression between DR.. Wilson
and Mr. James. 1t must be that they
have not read the same papers, or
that Dr.Wilson has been reading the
editorials and stock market pieces,
and Mr.. James the baseball and race
track items. Or perhaps they have
different notions about what writing
should be. DR.. Wilson says: "Style
in writing is something do not be-
lieve in. 1t sets a limit to expression
and sets wet blanket on thought"
Mr.. James has style, but his power Of
expression is limitless. Peter Dooley
Dunno has style; so has George AIDE,
so had the judiclous Hooker, so had
Newman, so had Izaak Walton. and
Lamb and others. But they expressed
themselves and unblanketed plenty Of
thought. When any competent hand
like DR.. Wilson says he doesn believe
in style in writing it means that he
doesn't believe in bad style. "Style"
conveys to some minds only the i'm.
preston Of stills, artiiciality rigid
ity and hobbies. The way writer
writes is his style. If lie writes much,
h. is as sure to have style of his
own as he is to have a voice of his
own. He can't help it.-Harper's
Weekly.
