ST. PETERSBURG, jury 25.-There is
Toung Mems Christian Association in st.
Petersburg with 600 members, nearly all
native Russians The president is Duke
Alexander of Oldenburg. who married Olga,
the sister of the car. The secretary and
active man is Franklin A. Gaylord, a Yer
mont Yankee who came here from the Y.
M. C. A. in Paris and organized this insti-
tuition. Mrs. Gaylord Is making plans to
organize a Young Womens Christian Asso-
citation on similar lines.
Until recently 1t was almost impossible
for such an organization as the Y. NJ. c. A.
TO exist In Russia, because associations of
all kinds were forbidden. 1t was a crime
to belong TO one, but when the Duke OF
Oldenburg, a man whose motives have
never been questioned and whose benevo-
lence Is known to every person Of intelli-
gence in Russia took charge of the move
ment its success was guaranteed Never
theless when the political troubles broke
out last year II was discovered that more
than half the members were revoluttonists
and there was a lively scrap for several
months to prevent them from capturing the
management and turning the institution
into revolutionary headquarters. Mr.. Cay
lord made rule prohibiting political dis
cussions under the roof OF the building, and
finally got the upper hand of the conspira-
tors and secured the reelection of the con-
servatlve element in the list Of officers.
1t was not an unhappy incident. however.
Almost every member sympathiZed with
the sentiments and spirit of the revolution
airy element, although they could not in
dorse Its judgment or permit the purpose
of the organization to be perverted into po-
liticaf lines. You must understand that 80
per cent of the young men in Russia are
revolutionists, more or less radical, accord
ing to their previous training, their social
rank and their environments. Nobody sup
ports the car IN his efforts to maintain the
autocracy except the members of the i'm
perial family land they are not Unanimously,
the imperial household, the cabinet. army
officers of high rank and the bureaucratic
or government officials who are likely to
shift their point of view as circumstances
change. Therefore it was not strange and
II Is no reflection upon the character OF
the members Of the Y. NJ. c. A. that those
who most interested in politics should
attempt to use the organization as a revo-
lutionary machine.

REUNITED By GLASS OF BEER.
Long-Lost Brothers Find Each Other
in Strange Way.

The Minneapolis Journal Of last week
printed many stories OF interest pertaining
to the fortieth reunion of the G.. A. r. in
that city. The following will be of interest
to Washingtonians:
A meeting between brothers who had not
seen each other for twenty years came
about in a queer way here yesterday.
Among those who came to attend the
Grand Army encampment were J.. r. Nc
Kelvey and William Dawson of Washing
ton. D. c. McKelvey and Dawson work
alongside each other in the government
printing office and are chums. They are
both members OF the Grand Army Of the
Republic and have attended encampments
together for years. Before departing from
Washington for Minneapolis they made an
agreement with each other that neither
would take a drink while the encampment
lasted. .
Yesterday morning when McKelvey went
into the buffet Of the Hyser Hotel he saw
his friend. Dawson, as he thought, with
glass of beer in front OF him.. He walked
up to him and Just as Dawson was about
to put the glass to his mouth McKelvey
stayed his arm.

LONDON. August 2O.-Thsre il q possible
ity Of the mystery Of the terrible disease
Of cancer being solved at no very remote
date.
This was limited at when the results Of
the experiments made during the year by
tho imperial cancer research fund were de-
scribed at the annual meeting by DR.. Bash
ford. the general superintendent OF the
funds laboratory. He dealt chiefly with
the results Of the incubation Of 100000
mice.
The scientists, he said. are now able to
reproduce at will in mice all the features
Of spontaneous cancer, and to protect
healthy mice from all the consequences Of
inoculating them with experimental cancer.
This having been achieved it Is not too
much to hope that the further development
Of the experimental study of cancer will
yield results having direct bearing on the
nature and treatment Of the disease" Dr..
Bashford says. -

YIN. c. AS in the United States. The only
Branches to Be Started.
AS soon as the political agitation sub
sides Mr.. Gaylord will inaugurate similar
associations in Moscow and other Of the
large cities, which will be also under the
patronage of the Duke of Oldenburg, who
takes the lead in all such measures in
Russia.
There are, however, very few. In no
other country is so little interest shown
by the upper GLASSES in the material i'm
provement and moral welfare Of the
lower classes. although I am told that
rich people respond generously when they
are appealed to for charitable purposes.
There are all kinds of hospitals asylums
and homes supported by public subscrip-
ton. but as a rule they are badly man
aged and are not up to date; and there Is
a foundlings' home in every city-the
most necessary institution in the list.
And they are filed The foundlings asy-
lum In Moscow is the largest charitable
windows in the building and more than
1000 cradles are constantly occupied by
fatherless and motherless waits who have
been left at the door or have been brought
in by the police. The father of the mighty
Trepoff was picked UP on the doorstep
and carried into that Institution one night
about eighty years ago. He was brought
up there. and when he reached the proper
age was sent to a military school because
Of his brilliant mind and manly qualities.
Many other men of prominence In Rus
sian history have been foundlings and in
mates OF similar institutions. The found
lings asylum In st. Petersburg is larger
than any building in Washington except
the Capitol, and often has as many as
$500 nameless babies under its roof.
Where they come from is a mystery
70
well taken care Of, however, and when
they are old enough they are adopted by
chfldless people or are sent into the
country to learn farming or to technical
schools to learn trades, and many are
trained for soldiers.
There are many of these necessary in
situations in Russia, as I have said. but
the strict laws have prevented organiza-
tions for the amusement and entertain
ment of the working classes such as are
found in other cities, and the working
men have had no place to go but the sa-
looms.
Russians Most Incorporate.
A few years ago a temperance move
ment was inaugurated. and 1t was very
much needed. for the Russians are I'M
doubtedly the most Incorporate people in
the world. Half the men you meet On
Sundays and holidays are staggering
You can see more drunkenness on the
streets OF st. Petersburg or Moscow or
other Of the large Russian cities on
single Sunday than you can in Germany
or Italy or the other European countries
all your life.
AS an adjunct to the temperance move
ment the Duke Of Odenburg suggested to
the car several years ago the Inauguration
Of a resort for the working people OF st.
Petersburg and their families on one Of the
islands In the Neva river. And having OBJ
tanned the necessary permission, he carried
nished all the money that has been ex-
pended. and everything was done upon
