PASSING OF PoBYEDoNosTzEv
Russia Halls the Resignation of Stern
and Relentless Fanatic

From American Monthly Review of Reviews
A stern and relentless fanatic, cast in
the mold of the inquisitors. an absolutist
of unbending character and the evil ge-
MUS which has blocked every attempt with
in half a century to make Russia consti-
tutional, was removed with the resigna-
ton of Constantine Petrovitch Pobyedo-
nostzeV, procUrator of the holy synod, the
representative of the civil arm in the Rus
sian Church.
The late procurator has been the evil ge-
MUS of three czars-Alexander IL, Alexan-
der Ill and Nicholas ii. 1t Is stated on
authority that has not yet been repudiated
that Alexander ii had actually signed a re-
script granting constitution, which was
TO have been published on March a. 1881
The day before this he was assassina ted,
and the fact that the rescript was never
actually published was due to Pobyedo-
nostZev.
During the reign of Alexander III, the
stern, unrelenting hand of the late procu-
rator can be traced in the persecution OF
the Jews, the Polish Roman Catholics and
the unfortunate Standsts The notorious
law of May, 1882. which placed the Rus
sian Jews outside the pale of modern civ
ilization. was the work of Pobyedonostzev.

the operation of this measure "a third OF

less Will of this man has stood between the

FIND GOLD IN A CHIMNEY.
Workmen Unearth Coin in an Old
Maryland House

From the Valley Register.
Various sums of money were found by
workmen in the old dwelling on the Men
property in Middetown, Frederick county,
which is being extensively repaired by the
new owner, Lew Flock
While Carroll Feete was working at the
old bake oven he pulled the one loose brick
out of the chimney and, reaching back In
the opening, drew forth an old rusty tin
coffee essence box. He shook it, and the
contents ratified.
Others gathered around and in few min
utes the lid was knocked from the box and
out rolled pie of gold and silver coins
In this collection was one ten-dolIar gold
piece OF the coinage of 1S05--just 100 years
old, but bright and shining nevertheless
The box also contained one So gold piece
of 1854. one $50 gold piece of 1853 four 81
gold pieces of 1853, three Spanish silver dol
lars of the years 11T5, 1872 and 1913, two
silver half dollars of the years 1901 and
1919, one 12la-cent piece of 1779 two s-cent
pieces so smooth that dates could not be
made out.
The coins, when put in the box, were
wrapped in a piece of muslin, but there
were only small fragments of this left. The
money was turned over to Mr. Flock.
William Gaylor, while working in the old
house, pulled thirty-six silver quarters. out
of an apparent rat hole at the head of
stairway. few days later four pairs of
new scissors, wrapped in paper, Were found
sticking In the rafters in the garnet. A
number of gold dollars have been dug up
in a garden bed on Mr.. John Gardeners
property adjoining the Neff property from
time to time during the last six or eight
years.
Before the war Mr.. Jacob Neff, an aged
bachelor, conducted a general store In the
basement room of the property now being
repaired by Mr.. Flock, and he did a big
business. There was no bank nearer than
Frederick at that time. and the suppositon
is that when the war came on Mr. Neff hid
various sums away, and possibly forgot
some of the hiding places before his
death, which sudden, had no time to
reveal their whereabouts.

Developing an Art Spirit.
From the St. Paul Despatch.

ffohi TIE St raul DeSpatch
We are preaching continuously the neces-
sity of developing an art spirit In this
country an as Offset to the dominant COM
| mercialism. and we are even going to the
extent of importing director Of the lead
ing museum from the most successful Eu.
ropean museum. Both of these are ad-
yisable, but surely they intimate our Gus
tomary way of going at a thing from the
top--as we did in the slavery question, to
instance the largest-and surely they do not
promise the formation of better taste nor
familiarity with better things. The most
obvious method of improving the national
taste, of encouraging an American art, has
been neglected, has even been legislated
against. It appears that this neglect is to
be righted, II the American Free Art
League can obtain its ends.
AS all Americans know the tax upon Inn
ported art Is tremendous; Is, In practical
effect, prohibitive. That is to say, that we
want no art standards, and therefore no
accord with the Dingley tariff and preced-
ing similar bars, we have had no models
no standards, and therefore a taste which
was obviously immature and spirit which
struggled against the difficulties of
vacuum. There are Americans who own
valuable. invaluable objects of art. They
bring them into this country, as did Mrs
Jack Gardner under a pretense of max
ing them public exhibits, or they store
them in London quarters as does ]. Pier
pont Morgan. waiting until the bars are
thrown down. Europe, Of course, Is very
glad of this. The treasures remain there
IL the ownership does pass. But the plan
is utterly absurd. Our lectures and our
teaching and our museums are In vain
unless we can have daily familiarity with
the best things.
The American Art League has formed
itself to this end: the removal OF the duty
on works of art. No one wants 1t there
except the wise men of Congress, who see
in these imported treasures a means of
swelling the national revenue. The artists
certainly do not want 1t there as pro
lection against foreign competition
Every American artist is on the side of
free art. since these know that their own
work win sell only when the American peo-
pie are able to appreciate and discriminate.
There cannot be market without a pub
lie taste. And there cannot be formed
public taste without suggestions and cor
rections from acknowledged examples. We
must buy our taste before we develop 1t.

An investigation into the sinking of

said the craft was defective. others that
she was not fitted by construction to
stand the severe strain of the elements at
the Nantucket shoals station. the most
dangerous, mariners declare, of the At
lantic seaboard Capt. Jorgenson. who
commanded the craft, thinks the leak in
the middle compartment came from the
giving away of one of the iron plates on
the hull
.Hoodoo" is the name by which the Eff
ty-eight was known to seafarers. Several
times, when anchored at the shoals in place
OF the Sixty-six, she broke away during
storms and fioated about with torn, splin-
tered equipment until rescue came. Hardly
would the Sfxty-six reach shore. seamen
say, before she would be hurriedly recalled
to her position by some mshap to her SUBJ
stitute.
Whatever the finding, the gray haired
skipper will never again take ship from
port. THE loss of the Fifty-eight was my
worst experience. 1t will be my last" said
Capt. Jorgenson, and the station will lose
