locating and development work. He
names the Bismark as the leading prop

owned by Mr.. Janson and his brother,
Mike Kinsinger and Charley McLaugh-
lin. All the owners have been at work
on the Bismark since last fall, and have

To1stoi In HIS Home.

Flynt in Success: BY all odds the
most interesting feature that Russia
allowed me to see was Count TolstOi.
And yet | had never read any OF
Tolstois novels before meeting him.
and my notions of his altruism were
vague, indeed-about what the ideas
are of people who have never been in
Russia or seen Tolstoi, and who, on
learning that you have been there and
met him, ask Immediately: "Say, on
the level, is he a fakir or not?'
Once and for all, SO far as my simple
intercourse with him is concerned, it
may be most boldly declared that he
never was fakir-no more of one when
he was sampling all the vices he could
hear of, than he is now in urging
others not to follow his example as an
explorer of Vicedom.
The man at Yasnaya Polyana, in 1896.
was a fairly well preserved old gentle
man, with white beard, sunken gray
eyes, oyerhanging bushy eyebrows, and
slight stoop in the shoulders, which
were carrying, | think, pretty close
to seventy years of age.
The place looked neglected and un-
kept in many respects, but the two
remaining wings Of the old mansion
were roomy and comfortable. Eight
children of the original sixteen we-o
living at the time of my visit, ranging
in years from thirty and over to four
teen. The countess was the t'boSs" Of
the establishment in and out of the
house What she said of morning
constituted the law for the day, so far
as work was concerned She had as
sistants, and I think a superintendent,
to help her. but she was the final au-
thority in matters of management.
The count did not appear to take any
active part in the direction Of affairs.
He spent his time writing, riding,
walking, and visiting with the guests,
of whom there were a goodly number.
At one time he may have worked in
the fields with the peasants, but in July
of 1896 he did not share any of their
toil--at least I personally did not see
him at work among them.
What the countess really thought
about the whole business i never found
out. We had one short conversation
about the count and his work, during
which she delivered hirself of these re-
marks: you will hear many things
here that I do not agree with-I be-
lieve it is better to be and do than TO
preach" / judged from these senti-
ments that Toistoiism as cult had not
captured her. But that she thought
much of the count as a man and hus-
band was evident from her solicitious
care of him.

City people and other people who eat
what the farmer produces will be less
inclined than before to speak patron
izingly of the sons of the soil after
they have read the four six hundred
page volumes which go into Professor
Bailey's new encyclopedia of agricul-
ture. That such a publication, 2.400
pages, nearly as wide as an una bridged
dictionary, is financially possible, in
itself seems to mark a rapid progress
toward agriculture as a learned pro-
fession.

Dock thief" than any or of the fell
lows I saw tearing themselves to pieces
this morning in the struggle for cheap
bread cheap beer, and more or less

ing themselves in getting some thick
and long logs of wood from the hold
of an old ship in No. 16 dock.

thinking what fine opportunity OF
adding one more piece of realism to his
numerous volumes Emile Zola missed
through not being acquainted with the
conditions of English dock laborers
Still the material is there for any Eng
lish Zola who cares to come forward.
But, there are among the docks ex-
amples of pluck which some men will
show to be independent of the help of
friends relatives or charity. "Facilis
est ,ieseens,is Avernii" And often when
men begin to sink morally and socially,
when they begin to sink through this
or that. or some other misfortune, they
gravitate towards the docks, towards
that grim. grey world of the casual la
borer, fearing the deAcension, as if they
were going TO the devil before their
time.

And there they were-one hundred
men.--young men, midd1e-aged men.
and old men. Broad-shouldered men,
pale-faced men, crippled men, hungry
looking men, and strong men-strong
men buoyed up by an air of confidence.
They were buoyed up because they
knew that physical strength there was
more than character They Knew that
here thcy-the young and muscular
were the fittest to survive. They had,
daN by day, seen their weaker broth
ers, their older brothers pitilessly
tumbled to the wall.
And an overseer, with red face,
we1l-fed body, a book and a pencil,
came to select the fifty-six men he
wanted; he came to select them much
as he would select cattle for the
shambles, or just as an eastern plu-
tocrat, in the old days, chose his wo-
men slaves from the public market
place.
The fifty-six needed men were
chosen. The others-the rejected, the
human overflow-they "slunk" away as
if they had committed some crime
against society. No doubt the poor
beggars had, but whether society was
the aggressor or not-well, that's
They ''slunk'' away. And it is in those
that have to "slink'' away that one
may measure much of the cause of
crime, the cause Of immortality, the
cause OF starvation, of intemperance,
of insanity of physical inefficiency, and
of the unemployableness of middle aged
men in city of docks and ships and
casual labor.

Minnie B. Van Dram, wife Of the de-
ceased. in the Monteith family lot in
the City Cemetery, they will also refuse
to permit action on the part of Mack

The Van Dran's believe that is no rea-

their opinion the attempt OF the Monteith

body disinterred is merely an effort to

NEW YORK, Aug. l6.-Attorney Cen
aral Bonaparte who visited President
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay yesterday, stop
ned for brief period in this city before
going to his home in Baltimore. While
aere he talked fully OF his conference
with the President and estimated that
next month might bring further deyel-

4 do not wish to make any secret OF
the fact that the talk between the Presi-

fine imposed by Judge lands against
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, !"

also and what step should be taken as
a result of the investigation Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission as the
Hartman railroad system. What will
be done in regard to both these ques-
hons cannot tell at the present time. .
Mr.. Bonaparte was asked if there
Eculd be any prosecution of individuals
and he replied:
Il will say that if we do what the doe
tors call good case, those higher up
wilI come in for their share of the in
yestigations. The cases will be pressed
to the limit. So far as the smaller
fry that are concerned / do not think
there is any use of going after them. l

ing positions in the companies"
HWill the Standard Oil Company OF
Indiana be forced to pay the fine if its
appeal fails!'
THAT is question, the answer to
which is only to be found in the future"
said Mr.. Bonaparte smiling.
aThe President and | talked over the
amount of the fine imposed by the courts
and We both sympathized very much
with the company" added the attorney
General and his smile broadened.
"Rut how can the Standard Oil Com
pany Of Indiana pay fine OF over $685.

added, but stone may be ground up.
This one case against one comapny Of
the Standard does not insure immunity

In speaking about the Hartman report
which he had discussed with the Presi-

there was nothing to be ,aid at this

great many of these it was said and the
President was very much interested in

offenders criminally prosecuted. This
