ToLsToY A HARD WORKER.

Tolstoy is one Of the most pro-
life writer's of any age. He has
published some 1870 books, and in
Vulnerable pamphlets, most of which
have been translated into every Eu-
ropean language The extent of his
output is TIE more remarkable when
his laborious methods are consid-
cred. Some of his chapters have
been written a dozen times, and the
pages of his manuscript are dis
figured by numerous erasures and
interpretations. One Of his novels
had to be copied out seven times be-
fore a fairly legible manuscript
could be sent to the printers.

A NAVAL UNION.

| Lord Beresford urges that the Aneri-
can and British navies enter into pact
to preserve the worlds peace. ITe says:
"The English Nations, the
United States and the Five Nations or
the British Empire, are the great trad
| ing Nations of the world. Why should
| they not join and say that there shall
be no more war 2"
The point of this thing is the grow
| ing fear in England of a war with Ger
many. While to sensible people there
| is nothing more preposterous than
struggle between two of the foremost
of Christian Nations. vet things are
tending that way aiarminsly. and Great
Britain has the utmost to fear from
such struggle. The British Nation is
dependent upon the outside world for
food, and must receive daily over the
seas an incomprehensible quantity Of
point. fit Is that Of an army. No mat
ter how much The British Navy may
overshadow the German Navy. there Is
a probability that some active German
Captain will repeat tho performances
OF Capt. Semmes against British food
carrying vessels. lie could operate
much more effectively than Capt.
Semmes did. Semmes could only de-
stroy our carrying trade with the rest
Of the world by making it too danger
Gus for American ships to carry Ameri-
can cargoes. A single German Alabama
escaping from the blockade of the Brit
ish ships or being sent out as the Ala
bama was from some pretended neutral
port would be like q weasel il a chicken
coop among the British food carrying
vessels. In month or two she could
drive these from the ocean and bring
the Three Kingdoms down to starvation
rations. What Lord Beresford wants is
some agreement by which the American
Navy would join to prevent ich dire
full condition, and the appeal will be
made to US on the ground that we sup
ply the most of the foodstn1fs consumed
by the British people. Lord Beresford's
appeal has not met with n cordial re-
ception- in this country, from the fact
that such compact would lead to en-
tangling alliances involving lis much
deeper than we wish.

WEARIsOME GRUMBLERs.

VI Course in the rush to st. Cloud
the coiorijsts, could not escape the usual
small proportion of LOUD -irunthed
grumbiers! These are the bane of every
community. Like the poor, they are
always with us. They are few in num-
bers-vera few-but they try to make
up in noise for their fewness. Sensible
people find the colony all and more
than represented. This is conclusively
shown by the great numbers who, after
looking ,the place over, have subscribed
for more shares and sent for their
| friends to join them The best and
most effective advertising for the Col
ony has been done by the men and
women who have actually gone down
there and carefully studied the situa-
tion and it's unrivaled possibilities. They
see the soil. breathe the balmy air and
talk with the people who have lived
their for years. Best of all, they go
about the country and see what other
men have done and are doing. This
cannot fail to fill them with enthusiasm.
No man can go about for day among
the dhu SiIi 10 80
around st. Cloud, visit the Shaker Set
tlement and the many beautiful homes
without becoming convinced that with
less labor and expense he can get more
out of life at St Cloud than anywhere
else in the country.
OF course, there are inevitable dis
comforts and annoyances at the begin
ming. No new settlement can be start
ed without them. Men would be fools
to think they could go somewhere and
find ready for their occupation COM
Portable homes and well-cleared lands.
These things must be made, and all
that we claim is that they can be made
a hundred times easier at st. Cloud than
anywhere else. The land can be cleared
with far less labor, it can be brought up
quickly and easily, things will grow
spontaneously and luxuriantly, and
homes can be soon surrounded with all
that makes life pleasant and comfort
able.
Let anyone make a reasonable COM
parison of what he finds at st. Cloud
with what he would have to encounter
anywhere else, and we have not the
slightest fear as to his enthusiasm over
st. Cloud

RETIREMENT OF AUDITOR PER-

great joy goes up in Washington
over the announcement that Robert S.
Person, Auditor of the Treasury for the
Interior Department, has rendered his
resignation to take effect Dec. 1. Per-
son has succeeded in making himself
generally obnoxious to all those with
whom he has come in contact, and this
upon the well-worn excuse of improy-
ing his Bureaus efficiency. Like some
other officials in Washington, Person
always had this defense ready upon his
lips to justify any of his acts of per-
sonal favoritism and private grudges.
1t Is the bane of official life in Wash
ington that a man who wants to pun
ish his enemies and reward his friends
can always find way to do so upon
the plea of trying to improve the public
service. Person used this plea to grati-
fy personal prejudice against some of
the best clerks in the office. veterans who
had rendered years of faithful, intelligent
and absolutely devoted service to the
Government. lie persecutedmen of much
higher character and standing than he
could ever hope to attain, and descend
ed to petty annoyances unworthy of any
man, and particularly of one occupying
the position that he did. The reasons
for his removal, however. come from
South Dakota. He had become distinct
Iy Objectionable to both of the South
Dakota Senators. and they determined
to have and succeeded in getting his
official scalp. Mr. Person gives out in a
long screed in the Washington papers
the claim that he was a victim of
"spoilsmen," and that he has been pro-
nounced by his superiors to be zone of
the best if not the best Auditor that
the Treasury has ever had This is
nothing in Mr.. Persons administration
of his Bureau to justify his claim for
superiority over a number of other very
able men who have held such positions
His Office has not been distinguished in
any way for superior efficiency, while.
on the other hand, it is claimed that it
has been greatly demoralized and its
operations injured by Mr.. Persons de-
moralizing persecution of clerks and
especially of the veterans in the Bu-
reau. He will be succeeded by Howard
c. Shober, Lieutenant-Governor of
South Dakota, when it is hoped that
his Bureau will return to its normal
condition of healthy effectiveness.

This African Church is often mentioned

matter looked up by a competent man.

The church mentioned by Pollard
was built by the white BaptistS of this
city in 1880, and was used as a church
by them until July 1, 1871, and was
then transferred to the colored people,
with white men as Trustees for same,
and white pastor. who was Rev. Rob-

Rev. Geo. S. Stockwell who was also a
white man. who held the pastorate for

paid $500 for same.
'The old original church was torn
down Aug. II, 1876, and a new church
built on the same site, which is now
standing. This church was dedicated
Oct. 7, 1877. Before the war and dur
ing the war this church was the largest
building in the central section of the
city, and was often used for public oc-
casiOns of different natures. Some of
the most notable of these are as follows:
In 1864 President Jefferson Davis.
Judah P. Benjamin and other noted
men delivered addresses to the public
to raise money for the continuation of
the war, which caused many citizens,
both men and women. to give their
money and Jewels to buy Confederate
bonds, which was the last meeting held
in Richmond under Confederate aus
pices- Hon. Edward Everett, of Massa-
chusetts. delivered an address in this
building in 1859. urging the citizens to
buy Mount Vernon.
THE Virginia Constitutional Conven-
ton met in the church and held session
from Dec. 1, 1929, to Jan. Is, 1880. and
[ am told that ex-President Madison
and Chief Justice Marshall held seats in
this convention, which was their last
presence in public assembly.
Wnen the Old theater, corner of
1 4th and Broad streets, burned in 1911,
the church was used as a temporary
hospital for the wounded. A good many
public entertainers appeared in this
church. Among them were Tom Thumb,
Patti. Sontaag, Parodi, and Paul Julian
played the Carnival of Venice in the
church.
THE first public assembly of slaves
was held in the church in 1865, and I

slaves were addressed by Horace Gree
