Rev. John George Butler.

clergyman who labors in one field for
sixty years necessarily leaves upon it a
deep impress of personality when he is
called to another life. Rev. Dr. Butler,
who passed away yesterday in the ripe
ness of years. had served this District
spiritually for nearly the Scriptural span
Of human life. With all of its wholesome
activities he had been identified. He had
preached to three generations of parish
toner's. had comforted in their sorrows the
grandparents of his latest hearers. He
contributed far more than is the lot of
the usual minister of the gospel to the
uplift of the city and in his passing he is
mourned as one of the most useful men,
bers of the community. His range of
sympathies was so broad that he was
enabled TO take an active part in the day s
work of tine people and to understand
their impulses and limitations. He went
forward with them in adjusting to the
changing conditions of modern life. He
was i'm truth a pastor, a leader and a
friend at all times and in all circum-
stances of fortune. His career is a monu.
ment which can be only reflected BY
whatever physical token may be erected
later in commemoration.

Car Nicholas Abroad.

Car Nicholas is on his travels, visiting
his allies of France and England The
heads of these states are his great and
good friends, but the people living in
them are not uniformly friendly. Ger
tain of them are hostile. not because of
anything the ear has ever done to them,
but on general principles of opposition
TO an autocrat. In both England and
France are many anarchists. sympa-
thZers with the Russian movement for
the overthrow of the throne and the sub
stitution of some unformulated system of
cars visit these radicals breathed hot de-
nunciations of the Russian monarch and
frankly declared their purpose to .get
him before he returned to his own coun-
try. Naturally it became necessary for
his hosts to take precautions to prevent
such iuhospitable attentions during his
stay with them. In France the imperial
guest was hedsed in with warships and
cordons of soldiers. and now in England
he is entertained behind a breastwork of
steel. If any of the threats against him
are carried into effect it will be either
BY some superhuman effort OF strategy
or through treachery on the part of those
charged with the responsibility of guard
ing him.
Car Nicholas leads a most unhappy
life. He is hedged in by troops wherever
he goes, in dread of assassination. He
is virtually a prisoner, escorted by his
guards at all times. relaxing only when
within the walls of his palaces or the
Enclosures of his great parks. He knows
no freedom. He never walks abroad un-

attended. When he drives out, troops
gallop before and after and alongside OF
his carriage. which is whirled along at
a rapid pace. Indoors he is never GER
tain of the loyalty of his attendants
who must be changed frequently to make
certain that they are not being corrupted
by the assassins. He can never come IN
contact with other men freely and With
out restraint. Every man who approaches
him is an object of suspicion on general
principles.
Such Is the state of the supposedly
most powerful monarch in the world
man with whom few others in the world
would be willing to change places, no
matter what their needs and desires. WIDE
~ az he may travel. he can see Things
only from one point of view, that OF
the potential victim of a lurking assassin.
Abdul Hamid had reduced his system OF
self protection to a perfect SYSTEM SIM
plifying his problem by remaining WITHIN
doors save when political or religious
necessities compelled his emersence. But
Car Nicholas has wider responsibilities
than the sultan. He has alliances that
compel him to go far afield. He must
run risks that the coward of the yildiZ
kiosk was able to avoid, and hence the
humiliating spectacle of man OF per-
sonaily good intentions, of mild tempera-
ment, of humane motives. visiting the
heads of friendly, even allied states be-
