AS nothing more encourages immor-
atty than the spectacle Of successful
yillainy, recent researches which have
cleared the character of Richard III.
from the monstrous accusations of his
royal enemies and literary maligners
must be regarded as a clear gain to
civilization. Even Shakespeare, the
most mischievous Of the detractors OF
the last Of the Plantagenets, does not
dispute Richards cleverness, while de-
picting him in the blacklist colors.
Whether historical truth or mere
"whitewash,'' the latest study of
Richard III. by Sir Clements r. Mark
ham makes him a kind uncle, loyal
husband and stanch ally and one of
the most memorable Of worthy English
kings.

N n RS. JULIA WARD HOWE is
W Americas Grand Old Woman.
IVA May 81 marks the completion
of her eighty-eighth year.
Eighteen years ago her youngest
daughter, Mrs. Maud Howe Elliott, in
a letter inviting DR.. Oliver Wendell
Holmes to attend her mothers birth
day party stated that Mrs: Howe
would be ''seventy years young" The
phrase has become increasingly popu-
lar from year to year, and by the same
token Mrs. Howe has been growing
younger and younger.
During the past year or two several
of our most noted men have become
seventy years young. They have
reached the age limit set by the psalm
list, the perilous point at which aspir-
ing poets throw sonnets at them, con-
gratulations in fourteen lines accord
ing to the Hoyle Of poetic science.
Among these are Mark Twain, Grover
Cleveland, William Dean Howells,
Henry M. Alden and Thomas Bailey
Aldrich, the latter already passed on.
But here is Mrs. Howe, born nearly
score of years before any of them, a
beautiful and brilliant belle in little
old New York long before Sammy

steal instruments and instructors. Miss
Ward became proficient as player and
singer. One day somebody urged her
to cultivate her singing voice to the
exclusion of every other ambition, but
the young girl had mind as we'll as a
voice. Musicales and receptions in the
Ward home brought her in contact
with Washington Irving, Fitz- Greene
Halleck and the visiting celebrities
from New England. When she was
twenty-five years old and in the midst

Ward spent a summer in Boston.
Longfellow and Charles Sumner, EN-

But man not yet mentioned by

form the greatest part in molding the
career Of the New York girl. The
case of Laura Bridgman, the deaf,

then the chief topic of talk in intel

One day Miss Ward and party, in

Butchers Bin Of the Russian Terror

Butchers Bill OF the Russian Terror.
4 recent dispatch to the effect that
over 1000 lives have been taken in
Russia in the last seven months as a
result of political disorders is ample
warrant for calling the situation ter
ror, after the French horrors Of the
great revolution. This record for seven
months, be it noted, was not excep-
tional. One Russian newspaper esti-
mate places the total casualties of the
present revolutionary movement, be-
ginning with ''bloody Sunday JAM %,
1905, at 10000 dead and $1,000 wound
ed.
The slaughters of the French revolu-
ton doubtless have been heavily exag-
gerated. Reasoning from the present
density Of population, modern writer's
conclude that the loss of life during
that long reign of violence, assassina-
ton and executions must have been
appalling in the aggregate. It is es-
timated that the total number dispatch
ed by the guillotine, assassination and
fire of troops upon mobs throughout
France during the !bloodiest years
1192-94-did not reach 10000; also
that more Frenchmen persisted in Ma
poleon's army in single battles than
fell in the carnage Of the revolution.
Contrasted with 1905 and 1906 in Rus
STA, the figures appear less impressive,
although they are startling when il is
remembered that king and queen and
many notables Of the church and socie-
ty as we'll as powerful revolutionary
leaders, like Danton, Robespierre and
Marat, were among the victims. Ac-
cording to one estimate printed recent
~ in the New Times, an organ of the
German Social Democrats, 1864 Rus
SLAMS were killed during the revolution

months following "bloody Sunday"
And death is not the only terrible fea-
ture of the Russian civil strife. Hun
dreds OF thousands have been cast into
prison-9,00O in Warsaw alone in Julv.
19O6-thousands put at hard labor and
thousands more banished to Siberia.
In France the slaughter was one sided

ments in Russia strike back, and the

ported is as bad as the first, with the
