CHAPTER w
The Fete in the Nazimotf Palace.

The Fete in the Nazimoff Palace.
The grand fete in the Nazimoff pal
ace, given by Paul, Count Nazmoff,
in honor of the arrival home of his
only son, Calonel Alexis Nazimoff,
had begun. Paul Nazimoff, a tall, sol
dierly-looking man of some fifty-seven
or eight years, dressed in full uniform
of a general of cuirassiers, stood well
coming his guests as they arrived.
The naughty expression on the face
of the old soldier, an expression of
lofty superiority, sat well upon him.
For perhaps there was not among the
Russian nobility a family whose name
was greater Paul, Count Nazimoff,
as he stood there, bore right worthily
the pride and dignity which came to
him by inheritance and the added
honors which a grateful sovereign
had hastened to bestow for gallantry
on many field. For himself the fete
had no particular pleasure, except in
so far as it emphasized the welcome
back from the sterile plains of Turke-
stan to his only son, who had won his
spurs as became NaZimoff.
Mingling with his guests, with a
word to one, and smile to another,
and a gentle, almost tender sentence
or two to the beautiful Olga, the
count passed through the brilliant
throng and congratulated himself on
the fact that even royalty could hardly
have surpassed him in the magnificent
splendor of the entertainment.
The Countess Katherine Karsicheff
was, next to the host and to her
daughter Olga, the most observed of
the hundreds in the brilliant throng.

DEATH OF cHAPPELLE.
Yellow Fever Carries off Archbishop of
louisiana

New Orleans, Aug. 10.-A sudden,
change in the condition yesterday
speedily eliminated in the death of
Archbishop p l.. Chappelle, of the do
cese of Louisiana. The end came at
1850 p. m. The news of the arch,
bishops death created profound
shock.
Monsignor Chappelle was taken i'll
with yellow fever last Friday. He,
had returned to the city three days be-
fore, having just completed tour of
Louisiana, and announced on his ar
rival his intention of cooperating in!
the efforts then in full swing to stamp
out the fever. The archbishop, how
ever, left his house only on one occa-
sion before he was taken sick. On
Friday he complained of the symptoms
which are the forerunner of yellow
fever. DR.. La Rue. the archbishop's
physician, Friday diagnosed the case
as genuine attack of yellow fever.
In 1891 Archbishop Chappelle was
made bishop coadjutor of Santa Fe!
and became archbishop of that diocese,
in 1894. Three years later, on the
death of Archbishop Jansen, he was!
named as archbishop of New Orleans,
The year following after the Spanish
American war he was appointed by the.
Pope as apostolic delegate to Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
He went to the Philippines and
spent much time there in connection
with the settlement of conditions
growing out OF the change of sove-
.reignty in the islands. He took up,
the cause of the friars, and though his
work was most difficult, the results

During his stay in Manila he was
thrown constantly into contact with
Secretary Taft. then the governor of
the islands, and they became warm

Pacific Coast Raisin Combine.

San Francisco, Aug. 10.-A deal has
been consummated which will merge
most of the raisin growing interests
of this state into one vast corporation
to be known as the Central California
Raisin Packing Company, and to com
bne the united properties of the Call
fornia Raisin Growers Company and
the Mercantile Packing Company the
latter including eleven of the most
prominent packers in the state. Trade
marks and brands are to be mutual
property and there is stipulation that

the parties to the new corporation.
The business of the concerns will be-
operated by eleven directors. The
packers will be represented by five
and the growers by an equal number.
The extra director, who is likewise to
be president of the company. is to be
chosen by the ten. He is to be man
who has affiliations or interest with.
neither packers nor growers, and in
case of a disagreement his shall be the
deciding vote.
Henry j. Crocker has been chosen
for this position. 1t is expected that.
the corporation will represent all the
growing and packing interests of the
state.
The contracts for this years crop

gentleman who had evidently Just
arrived. He was a man of some forty
five years of age, with clean-cut fig
ure, and a face which betrayed a sim
gular mixture of earnest resolution
and good humor. The costume of the
newcomer was in marked contrast to
the brilliant uniforms which were the
rule, but there was something in the
easy, self-possessed air of the man,
dressed in the conventional evening
suit, which bespoke the thorough
gentleman and stamped him as the
peer of any in the room.
Count Nazimoff, who had advanced
toward the door when he heard the
voice, was ready with outstretched
hand. General Cobb is it not?"

The goal of her ambition was in sight.
Within three weeks Olga would be the

Olga Karsicheff presented strik-

was fully appreciative of her surpass-

Ivan bowed.
You will pardon me if l say that
the book is not of sufficient value to
find a place, as rare volume, among

ton; but since you desire to dispose
of it, and under the circumstances, l

Strange Instrument.

Strange Instrument.
Richard Harding Davis, novelist,
makes no pretence of being pianist,
but he does play the guitar and sing a
bit. Not long ago he composed a
musical setting to set of verses by
a popular poet, picking it out in the
secrecy of his apartments on a piano.
The accompaniment to his voice con-
sisted of a few chords, which, from
frequent repetitions, he fixed in his
memory.
One night Mr.. Davis was at gath
ering of musical folk, among whom
was celebrated composer. An ad-
mirer begged the novelist to play one
of his own compositions. He con-
sented, walking up boldly to the piano
and straddling the piano stool with the
assurance of a virtuoso. But no soon
ed had he spread his fingers upon the
keys than he turned to the celebrated
composer, who had followed him to
the instrument, evidently in great per-
plexity.
