church to await the king and queen in
the pavilion at the entrance. Ten

During the investiture the silence
of the spectators was accumulated by
soft music from the organ After

POLICE CAUSED THE MASSACRE
ATTITUDE OF GOVERNMENT RE-
sPoNslBLE FOR OUTBREAK
AT BIALYsTok.

st. Petersburg, June 24.-At
crowded meeting of the Constitutional
club last night Deputy Stchepkin re-
ported the findings of the committee
Of the lower house which went to
Bialystok to investigate the anti-Jew-
lsh outbreak there. According to this
report, the police. with the aid of sub
ordinate officers of the police and mil
ttary, caused the outbreak by circu-
lating false rumors against the Jews.
The governor of Bialystok, though not
directly responsible, was said by M.
Stchepkin to have been undoubtedly
criminally guilty of prolonging the
excuses by abandoning his post. The
governor washed his hands of the af-
fair, not knowing the attitude of the
officials at st. Petersburg. The local
police assumed that the GoreDlykin
ministry, which had printed Black
Hundred circulars, would not punish
those who participated in the out
break. It is the two-faced attitude of
the government, M. Stchepkin assert
ed, which was principally responsible.
In concluding the report says:
THE ministry must be changed and
one must be chosen from the majority
In parliament, or otherwise Russia
will fall to the level of Persia and
Turkey and ultimately come under the
tutorship Of really civilized govern
ment."

KILLING Mrs. Hollister.

Hicharo lvens Hanged in Chicago for
Killing Mrs. Hollister.
Chicago, June 24.-Richard Ivens
was hanged here yesterday tor the
murder Of Mrs. Bessie HOLSTER.
The condemned man until he stood
under the drop faced death in the
same stolid manner in which he has
conducted himself since his arrest.
When he stepped on the scaffold, how
ever, much Of his courage failed him.
Just before the cap was drawn over
his face he attempted to utter pray
er, but, although his lips moved con-
vulsively, his voice would not respond.
and he was not able, to utter a sound.
1t was evident that he was on the
verge Of complete collapse, sand the
sheriff fastened the last details as
much as possible in order to avoid
such contingency.
Ivens was executed for the murder
of Mrs. Bessie Hollister, the wife of
Franklin G. HOLSTER, the head Of the
large printing establishment of Hol-
lister Bros. The crime, which was
committed on the evening of Jan. IL
of this year, was one of the most re.
volting in the police history OF Chi
cago.

Wherever he went, Beecher con-

In Success Magazine. Nothing else

was the greatest study In the world.
To read human nature, to place the
right values upon men, to emphasize
the right thing Ia them. to be able to
discriminate between the genuine and
the false, to be able to pierce their
masks and read the real man or woms

clergyman's greatest weapons.
Like Prof. Agassiz, who could see
wonders In the scale OF a fish or a

reveals marvels< OF beauty in the dross
and common things. It had q magni-
flying power which sees the miraculous

could zee beauty and harmony where
