If who's Who" We're in vogue in
Russia Witte would have to confess to
his amusements, or rather his recrea-
tion. He loves a locomotive, and when
minister of railways he Travelled all over
the empire on an engine with a simple
caboose attached. When he takes a
half holiday he spends it, as likely as
not. upon locomotive cab, talking
over railway matters with the grizzled
engineer and sharing his black bread,
cheese and vodka. When the great
financier went to Paris and interviewed
the bankers there they were shocked at
his clothes, which were rusty and ILL
fashioned. Soon, however, the over
powering genius of the man showed
itself. and such matters as clothes and
manners were forgotten.
Some Famous Exploits
Some of Witte's schemes have savored
OF state socialism. and he has never
shrunk from exposing the corruption
OF the bureaucratic system whenever
he was justified in so doing. His work
on the great committee appointed in
1902 to investigate the agricultural and
industrial depression of Russia was de-
nouneed as revolutionary by his ene-
mics, but 1t was not-Witte Is not a

but the same may be said of the mod

easily see that the housekeeping book
is needed by every woman of medium
circumstances who does not employ d

Then there's the menu book, by the
careful keeping of which she escapes

short a time. This book also enables
her to make up menus easily by re-
ferring to past seasons, thus securing

not to calls but to entertaining on a
larger scale. In it are written the
names of those who are to be guests
over Sunday or fortnightly, for weeks
in advance. AS invitations are ac-
cepted or declined or postponed rec
ords are kept up to date. The books
contain also the names of guests for
dinners, teas, and other entertain
ments, and the names of those to
whom some invitation is owing. The
careful hostess also enters in this book
any items of moment which occur to
her before entertainments come off
and which she wishes to remember at
the time.
There is another kind of guest
book which is sort of register and in
which guests at some houses are asked
to inscribe their names. But this
book is OF course more for entertain
ment and to be kept as a souvenir
than anything else 1t has little prac-
tical value.
The brides book, or wedding guest
book, is of similar character. 1t is an
elaborate volume in which are in
scribed the names of the guests at
wedding. The book is then given to
the bride, and such book is now
adays a souvenir much cherished by
brides.

revolutionist. 1t was anti-reVolution- |
airy, in the sense that Witte wished to
rob the reds" of their just grounds for
complaint. 1t is probably his opinion
that If a social cataclysm should bring
underground Russia into power the rev.
olutionaries would make as great a
mess of 1t as did the mutineers of the
Black sea on the blood stained decks
, of the battleship Potemkine. Indeed,
while the former chancellor has liberal
leanngs and wishes to have the people
of Russia enjoy some measure of self
government after they have been edu-
Gated up to the responsibilities of thei"
new position, he is the greatest enemy
of the revolutionary movement in that
he shows by his life and his achieve
ments that the bureaucratic system
under an autocrat is not 'entirely rot
ten.
Many reasons are assigned for the
frequent changes which have been
made in the personnel of the Russian
peace embassy. AS chief of the mis-
sion M. de Nelidoff gave place to M.
Mouravieff and the latter has given
way to the disgraced and despised M
de " lite. who, it was confidently an
nounced less than a month ago from
ST. Petersburg. and upon the best au-
thority. would never again hold office
or enjoy in the slightest measure the
confidence of his sovereign. For, after
ell, imperial nature is very like human
nature and 1t must be very unpleasant
to have around and come in contact
daily with the statesman who two, and
even three. years ago, sounded the
alarm and prophesied the dangers
which menaced Russia from the Man
ohuria adventure. M. de Nelidoff. who

| all depends upon your point Of view
Count Mouravieff, the father or the
uncle Of the present ambassador, was
governor general Of Siberia. There to-
day his name lives and appeals to Rus
sian pride as does that of Give in
British India. Mouravieff was a mighty
empire builder; II he did not want
the earth he wanted all the good lands
that adjoined the territories of the car
and most of them he secured. He
lives in Russian history as the great
Siberian expanslonist, "Mouravieff Of
the Amoor, the man who logged out
the great lonely steppes with mile
posts, all pointing to the Pacific and
all bearing the legend, This is the
way to the ocean," Alasl for Russian
hopes that it should have been the way
to the sea Of Japan md to Togo's
seemingly invincible armada. There
may have been other reasons for the
withdrawal of M. Mouravieff from the
peace mission, but in view of his an
tecedents, the important part which
his family have taken in the expansion
of Asiatic Russia, 1t is easy to UNDER
stand why he should be reluctant to
sign his name to treaty which must
sanction at least a partial curtailment
of the same, and so the beau role and
the difficult task devolves upon the
former freight clerk of trying, even at,
this late day, to save his country from
the fate which with singular prescience
he foresaw and in outspoken heat
warned his countrymen against.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-08-13

enviable post TO whihc he was assigned,
but probably the true one has not been
made public. Japan may mave OBJ
jected to his appointment because Of
public utterances which Mouravieff is
reported to have made since the war
began far from complimentary to the
yellow antagonists Of Russia. Yet
from the very beginning of the peace
movement the Japanese have made no
concealment of their hope that M.
Witte would be their antagonist in the
diplomatic tourney which opens in
Portsmouth in a few days. Not that
Toxic regards him as weak man who
will readily succumb, but because In
the Japanese capital he Is regarded as
strong man, who offers greater guar
antees than any other living Russian
possibly could that the treaty to which
he aff1xes his signature will be carried
out in all its details.
Force of Name
But to my mind the most powerful
factor in the withdrawal of Mouravieff
was sentimental reason-sentiment
being as potent in the council of ma
tions as in humber affairs That of
Mouravieff is great name throughout
Russia, but in the Amour provinces
and in Transbalkalia Mouravieff is a
name to conjure with. In the forties
and fifties of the last century. when
