Kennedy, after holding w. V. U.l

calls ahead and seemingly safe, asked
Captain Cassel to relieve him as his
arm was paining him badly, but the

insisted that he continue and he did

him.
Doc Greenwald made friends for
himself yesterday. He has a habit Of
going after everything and in every
instance forgot the presence Of the

her husband, but educated at vassar College, on the Hudson banks, is the most eminent woman in the Red Cross work today. Though brought into worldwide notice through the war in the Far East, her fame is also due to her because of her own personality. and the race has granted it freely.
 The former Empress of France. Eu- genie, living at the age of 79. survivor of almost every vestige of the order of things of which she was a part. ia almost forgotten, but her fame sur wives. and she deserves at least a line or two in this rapid survey.
 Science, Philanthropy, Salvation
 The scientist would surely present the name of Mme. Curie. codiscoverer. with her husband, of radium. that mysterious element which Is revolutionizing many long established scientific notions. And from the scientific viewpoint. who shall say he Is wrong? Mme. Curie has won fame young-she is only S7, and she is pretty besides. Her path to fame though full of endeavor. was not rack- ing; In her Polish home she was sur bounded by Incentives to scientific re- search, and her husband. who loves her more even, perhaps, than their beloved joint discovery, is constantly working by her side. in their laboratory. The Curies never really strove for fames cnly to do their work, nor for money. Fame they have won, but money haa not and probably will not, come to them.
 Miss Helen Gould. known not for her wealth, but for the way she gives it away. has fame of a sort that carries with 1t a feeling of universal regard and respect, since she is devoting her life to the best uses she can devise for the millions that came to her by inher- itance.

 Alexander escaped a violent death. but, probably, only because disease claimed him, and so, is 1t surprising that she was filled with apprehensions when Nicholas, whom she knew for the weak, irresolute, vacillating man the world now also knows him to be. came to the throne? That she, who had known intimately and admired the stronger fibred father. should seek to control the son? That she should try to block all his schemes for bringing aheut a more liberal form of govern ment2
 There is a story that the grand dukes. uncles and brothers of Nicholas. and their adherents plotted without the Dowager's knowledge to make her Czarina Regent and prevent him from ever ascending the throne Another tale has 1t that the Dowager Czarina herself, supported by tho grand ducal coterie. had such a coup all planned.
 A certain count was in charge; 1t was schemed to get Nicholas out of the country flor his health" and never let him return. But the Czar discovered the plot, surrounded himself with his bodyguard, sent for the count. his mother and the others implicated. or dered the count to retire from public life and heaped mass of complaints upon the Dowager Czarina. A stronger man would have banished or executed the count and sent his mother away permanently. but. though she did make long visit to Copenhagen. she was soon back in Russia, and her influence over her son has been strongly appar- ent ever since. Her recent frequent exhortations to him to be firm and brave. as his father would have been. to show himself to the people. are just removed from the current news.
 Maria Feodorovna has never been friendly with the young Czarina. The Dowager Is fifty-eight. her gentler sister. Alexandra, Is sixty~one.

Professor of Howard University Rec-
 ommends Perunn to the Public.
 Dr. A. P. Bogue. formerly Professor of Anatomy at Howard University writes from the Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C., as follows:
 aT have used Peruna In several cases of catarrh and have found 1t an ex- cellent remedy.
 @I can honestly recommend 1t to the public as nm excellent remedy for ca- tarrh and colds."
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-06-25

As a rule. physicians are opposed to proprietary medicines.
 Many are opposed to Peruna just be- cause 1t is a proprietary medicine.
 In spite of the natural prejudice against 1t, however, Peruna has won the favor of great many physicians.
 Some very prominent physicians use and prescribe Peruna.
 Many times Peruna finds its way in- to the physician's family first.
 His wife or children make use of 1t and its value is demonstrated in the physician's own home.
 Then he timidly prescribes it for his patients.

Each of these three is known to all mankind-of whatever color. or habitat, Bave only the savage races-because of her own individual character.
 The minimizing might complete the half dozen by the addition of the names say, of the Empress of Germany, the young Queen of Holland, and, perhaps the Dowager Queen of Italy. perhaps HCarmen Sylva," the writing Queen of Roumania. But these estimah1e royal ladies will hardly do for entrance In the list, since they are konwn to the of birth and marriage.

 The other American name in this glittering half dozen should be that Of the only woman, living or dead. who has ever established faith, Mary Baker Eddy, the mother of Christian Science"
 Who is she whose name might com plete the list? It would be hard to find one whose fame approaches in univer- salty that of these five. but there arc many women, whose celebrity in art philanthropy, literature, science and re- form Is almost worldwide. to choose from.

An Obscure Dukes Two FamOul
 Daughters.


 Daughters.
 Known to more people of more races than any other living woman, except. perhaps, the monstrous old Dowager of China. are Alexandra and Dagmar. as they were christened-daughters of old King Christian of Denmark-who was not a king at all when they were born, but simply an obscure nobleman with the formidable title of the Duke of Schleswig- -Holstein- -Sodenburg-G lucks- burg. Life has run along strangely different lines forthes two gentle Dam ish girls.
 Their father. as you may remember, was so poor that he even had to give drawing lessons to eke out the family income, and the daughters had to help make their own bonnets and gowns; YOU may also remember the gypsy wo- man who told their fortunes and de- clared that Alexandra would some day wear the double cloth of queen and em- press, that Dagmar would rule vast empire and that third sister, Thyree. would bear title approaching the uueenly, though she would never rule.
 The three girls laughed at the proph- ecy but it all came true, Thyree mar rying the English Duke of Cumberland and her older sisters, by fate most ironical, marrying men who were to reign over peoples bound to be eternal lV at QddS-One 10 De the Hbdu uA LNb most advanced constitutional monarchy in the world. and theother the last autocracy remaining in Europe.
 Though Alexandra Is known to the world chiefly because of her sweet and womanly qualities her personality Is as strong as her sisters. The English Queen has been no better wife. no bet ter mother than some other royal and imperial consorts. But Alexandra has always shown perfect taste. complete balance under the most difficult con- ditlons, and perfect breeding. while the lack in those qualities has been almost painful on the part of some crowned women indeed, most of the royal ladies sometimes lose their boise. but Alexan- dra never has Besides. she is counted the best dressed gentlewoman In all Europe.
 The character of Dagmar, rechristen- ed Maria Feodorovna when she married Alexander of Russia and was takeH into the Russian Church. has developed sterner qualities.
 Trouble began for her soon after her betrothal wooed. first, by Nicholas, eldest son of the then reigning Czar. she welded his younger brother Alex ander, because of a promise made to her first lover, when, stricken by illness. he knew death was near. Her husband came to the throne by reason of his fathers aSSaSSlnatipn, JuSl as He was preparing to grant a constitutional government to his people.
 Thereafter Alexander lived constant ly in terror of a like fate. From his accession to his death, and especially after the imperial pair had themselves narrowly escaped a bomb. his Danish consort was chief, almost sole. confi- dant and adviser of this fear-stricken. though never cow=rdly, never irresolute Autocrat of All the Russias.
