DEATH MARS DAY !
FOR an. ]. BRYAN
Or. Charles Mcivors Leading South
ern Educator, Dies on
His Train.

Greensboro, N. G., Sept. l~9.---yvilliam
]. Bryan in an address last night in
this city closed the first day of his
speechmaking tour of the Carolinas.
His principal speech was at Raleigh,
where he discussed railroad rates,
trusts and other questions, and am
swered some Of the arguments adj
yanced in recent ~utterances Of Secre-s
tary of the Treasury Shaw. His trip
yesterday was dimmed by the death
of one of the party on the train, DR..
g. d. McIvor, and his speech here was
confined largely to an eulogy of that
educator. He spoke briefly at Durham
and Burlington. Today he is sched-
uled TO make addresses at Winston, Sa-
lem, Kensyille, High Point, Lexington,
Salisbury, Concord and Charlotte.
Soon after the train left Durham g.
d. McIyor, president of the state nor
NAL school at Greensboro, died of apo
plexy. In consequence Of this event,
Mr.. Bryan, who regarded DR.. McIvorB
as his personal friend, declined tps
speak at Hillsboro, and at Burlington
he made a brief announcement of the
tragic occurrence and paid a tender
ribute to the memory Of his departed
friend.

named police master of Moscow.
Trepoff soon became Sergius' right arm
in fighting the revolutionary student
agitation Of which the ancient capital
was the hotbed.
When Sergius was a~ssassinated Ire
poff was named governor general of
Moscow. Later he was summoned to
st. Petersburg and given the COM
mand Of the imperial guard and made
governor general of the city. He took
up mis- residence i'll the winter palace
and became in fact, if not in name,
dictator of Russia. Anarchy prevailed
when he arrived. An uprising on a
large scale was ~momentarily expected.
Thousands had fed the city, but with
Trepoff in command the aspect of af-
fairs changed. Troops filled the streets
and dead walls were placarded with
notices that the slightest disorders,
would be suppressed without mercy.
And under his iron hand the city be-
came quiet.
During four trying weeks plot after
plot to kill him was discovered and
frustrated. Two of his own nieces at
tempted to execute the sentence. But
in his dungeonlike room in the center
of the palace no bomb could reach him
save by shattering a dozen walls. With
the telephone constantly at his side he
issued orders and received reports.
His personal courage was beyond
all question. He had almost a con-
tempt for death. IT am no fool" he
said to the Associated Press corre-
spondent a few days after he ssumec
the dictatorship. II am no fool. tc
be potted in the street. I have work
to do, and I propose to do it. I have
given my word to my imperial master
to maintain the tranquility of the city
and I will answer for the preservation
Of order with my life"
The strain told upon him. and during
those memorable six weeks the lines of
his face deepened and his hair and
beard became streaked with gray. He
continued at his post throughout the
summer, and although there was much
excitement no riot occurred.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 19.-Insecurity
Of life and property in the Baltic prov
inces, which eliminated last Saturday
in the murder Of Herr Bush, a rich
German manufacturer and leader of
the German colony at Riga, has led
the German embassy here to again
make energetic representations to the
foreign office concerning the adoption
of measures for the protection of Ger
man subjects.
Rush was killed by agents Of the rev.
~olutionary organization engaged in
levying tribute.
Don Won Miguel, first secretary of
the German embassy, called today at
the foreign Office and presented the re-
port of the German consul at Riga, re-
garding the killing of Bush, who was
struck down in his own factory. He
called attention to the length of time
the reign of terror has lasted.
Although the armed revolt was
crushed and the country reconquered
by forces under General Orloff last
winter, robberies and murders have
continued unchecked for over a year
and a half.
Big German Colony There.
There are 5000 German subjects liv-
ing at Riga. The American consul at
Riga has not joined in his demand for
protection. There are scarcely any
Americans there.
From Odessa, where conditions are
almost as bad as in the Baltic prov
ince, the embassies have been informed
that guards have been furnished for
the consulates n the residences of
the various consuls.
The MINISTRIES of the interior, JUS
tice and war have sent commissions to
Investigate the recent massacre at
Siedlce.

COURTED HER

Pianist Paderewski's Stepson WEEDS a
..Ea m Chicago Portrait
Painter.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-The bizarre ro-
nance of w. o. Gorski, soldier of for
tune, and Miss Belle Silvelra, portrait
painter, has eliminated in a secret
wedding in Chicago.
Gorski is the stepson of Ignace Jan
Paderewski. The bride is well known
in North Shore suburbs, where she has
painted the pictures of several well
known people.
After the marriage ceremony, which
was performed by Judge George A.
Carpenter in his chambers, the bride
and bridegroom repaired to a little
studio across the street from the Fiji
t~y-seventh street entrance to Jackson
park.
It was more than a year ago that the
young a who was then travelling in
Switzerland, decided to take a turn at
military life n he secured a commits
sion as an officer Of the royal North
west mounted police, a military body
which patrols the Wilds of northwest
ern Canada.
Before leaving civilization Gorski
stopped at Chicago to bid farewell to
his friend, Ralph Modjeska, son of
Nine. Modjeska. The day before, his
departure he met Miss Silveira at the
Modjeska residence. Only a few hours
were they together; then Gorski de-
parted for Canada to fight Indians,
outlaws and the wilderness.
But the Chicago artist was not for
gotten. He had promised to tell her
Of his safe arrival at the military sta
ton and he did so. After that there
were several kilograms, and Miss Sill
veira consented-bv means Of a tele-
gram-to become Mrs. Gorski. Gorski
Immediately arranged to shift his re-
sponsibilities as an officer Of the mill
tary company upon another member of
the body and boarded a train for Chi
cago. The wedding followed upon his
arrival here.

General Dimilri Teodorovich Trepuff
vas commandant of the imperial pal
ace. He died at G o'clock Saturday
gina pectoris.
General Trepoff, whose name was in
delibly linked with reaction and OPP
preston in Russia, vas a remarkable
man. He was a natural despot, a ty-
rant by inclination, education and IN
WctlOn. He was one Of those men
who nave constantly appeared in Rus
sian history just at the time when con-
ditions We're most promising for put
ting an end to despotism to turn the
Russian rulers from liberalism to re-
action. 1t was he who became the
guiding spirit Of the reaction after
Nicholas II. a issued his manifesto
in the fall of 1905 promising the peo-
pie a share in the government. Holding
the position of master of the palace, in
league with the court intriguers who
determined to restore the old regime,
he constantly had the emperor's ear.
Like his father before him, Trepoff
was a police master with all the name
involved in Russia, and the story Of
father and son is full of dramatic in
cidents. The elder was a founding.
Who his parents were was never
known. He was found one morning
upon the back doorstep of a German
famlly, by Whom ne was playfully
named "Trep-Hof" German for door,

as a member of the secret police. Dur
ing the height Of the nihilist conspir-
acies in he late 'f0s 1t vas to him
that Alexander II. confided the ask of
running down terrorists plotting
against his life. The fight between
liberalism and reaction then, as later
under Trepoff's son, was in full swing.
and then, as later, the energies Of the
police We're directed against the stu
dent agitation.
Din1itri followed his fathers foot
steps. He attracted the attention Of
Grand Duke Serg1us, then governor
general Of Moscow, and by him was

filled, even to the corner where Jim
sat.
After while there was sound Of
distant singing, and soon the boys
came walking in procession, and sing
ing the music that Jim had heard them
learning.
In their choir garments they looked
little like the rough, careless boys OF
the day before. He did not know that
the boy with the beautiful voice, who
was to have sung the solo part, had
suddenly been taken i'll, and that the
organist, in despair, had been obliged
to substitute in his place one OF the
other boys, who was not capable OF
filling it, but was the best that the
organist could find on such short no.
tice.
So Jim did not know what to make Of
it when he saw the boy evidently pre-
pairing to sing alone. Jim knew each
boys capabilities in musical way by
this time as we'll as the organist him
self did, and he knew that this boy
could not sing the music properly. The
organist began to play; the boy looked
frightened. 1t was time for him to be-
gin; he hesitated and choked. The or
ganist turned partly around. The next
instant voice of wonderful strength
and sweetness filed the church.
After single start the organist
played steadily on. He did not know
from whence or whom the heavenly
voice proceeded, but it was God-sent.
Through to the end, without fear or
faltering, glowing and thrilling with
Joy and love and devotion, Jim poured
out his soul.
When the last pure tones had died
away, and he realized what he had
done, he would have rushed out If pos
sibIe, but kindly hands gently detained
him till the service was over, and the
surprise and wonder and admiration
of the people could find expression.
OF course that was the beginning of
great change in Jim's life. The
nightingale in his throat could no
longer be hidden; it had brought to
him friends and fortune. But in the
future years people liked to tell the
story of his first public appearance,
when he sang because his bursting
heart could not contain its wealth Of
melody.-Youth's Companion.

it was such task to teach him any
thing!
What he apparently learned one day
was forgotten the next, and Jim fidget-
ed and muttered to himself In disgust
at the bungling work which he made
of it.
They were getting ready for an
Easter celebration, as Jim learned from
the conversatin, and he made up his
mind that he would be there on that
day himself. He had attended -
many of the rehearsals by this time
that he felt quite at homein the church;
but It seemed very different place to
him in the light of the bright spring
morning, when jim walked up to the
door on Easter Day.
The many carriages, the throngs Of
gaily dressed people so abashed him
that he hardly dared go in, but he fin
ally found an opportunity to go in un-
observed, and slipped quietly into his
accustomed seat. The church quickly

But the boys! His astenishment rose
as he heard and watched them. The
man was evidently trying to teach
them something; but some were care
less and would not listen, and others
were stupid and could not learn. Fin
ally the boys became so restless that
the man rose, and closing the organ,
told them all to come the next after
noon; and Immediately there was a
wild scramble for the door.
That night Jim would neither play
nor whistle for his friends, to their
great surprise; but the grand, uplift-
Ing strains which he had heard that
afternoon still fingered in his ears.
The next afternoon, as soon as his
papers were sold, Jim started again
for the church, and the next, and the
next as well. Every afternoon found
him a quiet, unnoticed listener at the
back of the great church.
The master went over and over the
strains, slowly, carefully and patiently.
while the boys blundered and hesi-
tated. Jim had learned the whole
thing by the second afternoon. and
could have sung every note Of it.
Jim was completely out of patience
with one boy. He had beautiful part
to sing alone. evidently the climax Of
the whole piece, and he had voice
like skylark, so pure and clear; but
