years ago, when he himself declared that his great
creative works were unworthy and altogether evil
Here is his own account of the split in his life:
Il had tried to test science and modern cu
ture, and have turned from them with feeling
of repusion because of the inability of the first
to solve the really important problems of life
and because of the hollowness and faseness of
the second"

essential Kindness and he says he is to-day near
err mother earth than ever in his life. He declares
the peasant typically, is the ideal Christian. And
thus since 1875 his writings have been almost ex-
clusively polemic and didactic.
To-day Count Leo Tolstoi is a large, heavily
built man with unusually long arms, hanging
loosely at his Sides with wide nose, somewhat
thick lips, small gray eyes, head set on bulky
but slightly STOPPING shoulders and matted
white beard. He possesses an air of strength
that is found in few great men. The power that
one finds in him is both mental and physical, and
hence of the durable sort.
One of this mans great themes is the Sermon
on the Mount. In this he has declared that
he found five laws of God and he has made them
his rules for faith and conduct throughout the
later years of his life. These laws
married. as follows:
Live in peace with all and do not regard
any man your superior.
Do not make the beauty of the body an occasion
for lust.
Every man should have wife and every
woman one husband, and they should not be d.
vorced for any reason.
Do not revenge yourself and do not punish 9TH
ers because you think yourself insulted or hurt.
Suffer all wrong and do not repay with evil for
you are all the children of one father.
Never breakthe peace in the name of patriotism.

What Tolstoi has done for the peo-
pie of his time in Russia is to be found
in the dress, customs and habits of the
lower classes of that absolute mon
archy, but the critics say that right
in his home his own teachings have had
little effect The answer which close
friends of the count give to that asser-
ton is that Russia's benefactor is too
broad-minded to make his home a mar
tyrdom and TO inflict his beliefs upon
his wife and children if they do not
care to abide by them.

the greater part of it in preaching the

Senator Foraker's Speech.
ELLIS MEREDITH.

Senator FOraker's speech on the
Brownsville artray makes a strong
impression upon the country as we
believed 1T would. The newspapers
which are capable OF viewing such
such matters fairly, without preiu-
dice against the speaker, are practi-
caliy unanimous in the statement
that Senator Foraker has performed
a great service. He has taken up
the case of certain colored soldiers,
subjected IL to the most searching
and painstaking scrutiny, and has
made 1t plain TO all fair-minded men
that a reasonable doubt remains as
TO their guilt, and therefore that
they are entitled to the restoration
of the rights taken from them. The
soldiers had no other friend, and the
rights or all Americans would have
been denied TO them IL this man had
not befriended them. Their case,
thanks to Senator Foraker, has been
placed fairly and squarely before the
American people.
All Americans have an opportuni-
ty TO appreciate the value of an ex-
allied forum, like the United States
Senate, where speech is absolutely
free and as public as the common air.
There, when men have the courage
and the ability to make the truth
known, 1t can be made known and
there is no power to stihe it or sub
eBtitute error for Il.
The demonstration that followed
Senator Fox aker's speech was a tri-
butte to him as man OF courage and
honest purpose Il could not be con-
strued by any one as an unfriendly
manifestation toward the President
or any other officer concerned in the
Brownsville investigation. Indeed,
some of the Presidents warmest
friends were among the first to con-
gratulate Senator Foraker upon his
effort.
They were again impressed most
powerfully by the exhibition OF quail
tiles which are universally admired
among men, and they took pleasure
in testifying to the great personal
esteem in which they hold the eio-
quent Ohioan. They realized that
such abls and earnest efforts as his
in behalf OF truth have made and
kept the Senate great.

Fake Detective Got Four Months.
For impersonating a detective and

A Funeral Directors Enterprise.

Much excitement was caused on
Leigh Street Thursday. April 10th,
by the appearance of a funeral car
silver gray in color and embellisheo
with gold leaf trimmings. 1t was
drawn by pair of horses specially Sc
leeted for the purpose and il was
conceded by every one that no such
expensive vehicle had ever entered
this city.
The manufacturers took special
interest in the delivery sending down
one or their most trusted agents to
see that everything was all right. In
the procession was a funeral Berlin
vehicle or the latest tyle, fitted with
electric lights and of the most mod
ern design. Following this was "a
nother new Berlin, richly upholster-
ed. Following this was another new
Berlin, lifted up In like style and all
four or the vehicles drawn by horses
specially selected for the purpose.

chairs, a settee and n table.
Giving him our card, he disap-
peared TO the side OF the winding
stairway that led to the rooms above.
For the moment, we comtemplated
the magnifcence OF this truly pala-

had cast of Oriental loveliness and
showed that superior feminine taste
and judgment had a part in the pre-,
paration OF this residence a duke
might want and a king might envy.
