 FOR FLETCHER'S C A 6 TO A
STAMFORD

What proved to be the most inter- esting and instructive lecture of the winters course was given last night at the library before a large audi ence, by Prof. Phelps of Yale. His subject was Russian Literature as an Exponent of Russian Character.
 ''The Russian language he said, "is the greatest in the world, and com pared with it the English language is but a dialect Russian has ten syno- nyms where English has but one. It is inconceivable that such language should not be for great people. It is an instrument of expression capable of anything There is an element of largeness in the Russian character commensurate with the vast size of the country. And as a result there is the quality of yastness in the works of some of the writers. The books War and Peace, and a small work call ed Taras Bulba. both give the impres- sion of vastness. A Russian is the most complete cosmopolitan in the world. One is amazed at their ability to speak foreign languages"
 Prof. Phelps told of a young girl he met in Paris, who could speak six languages perfectly and Automatically French, German. Spanish. Italian, English and Russian-and could switch off from one to the other without a jar. In Russia boys and girls at two years of age are taught to speak diff ferent languages, and they have French, German, English and Italian tutors. and by the time they are 10 or 12 years old they can speak four or five languages without difficulty. and never dream they are doing anything wonderful It is difficult for an American to comprehend that there are folks who do not think. or pray, or swear in English. Even when in pain they do not complain in English! The Russians have no prejudices. We are as full of them as an egg is of meat Their attitude is as different from the New England mind as can rossibly be conceived Russians have the humility of a little child. If we are not humble we cannot see straight. The mind of a Russian writer is like a sensitive filn-ready for any inpres- sion. But they are afflicted with a paralysis of will. They lack convic- ton which destroys everything. It is Slavonic inability; incapacity; no power to string the bow. The state of a Russians mind is expressed by 'What is to be done?" The American goes ahead and does something even if it may be wrong. But the Russian is utterly lacking in efficiency. He cain talk on any subject but can do nothing. They have a capacity for passive resistance which is immense. Napolean discovered this when they blIrned their own city,

The particular germ Of the disease has
not vet been isolated. and until 1t Is there
is no way of treating the scourge. Tho
only method that has been practical up
to date is to plant the abandoned grounds

Undertaken in Trouble.

r. A. Gray. q colored undertaken. was
arraigned in police court this morning
on a charge Of permitting q decomposed
body to be exposed. The court took the
case under advisement, not SO much as
punishment for the offense, but as a
guidance for the future.
The delay In sending the body Of Albert
Gilbert, q negro, to Leesburg, Gray ex-
planned, was because he was compelled to
90 to Washington for a suitable casket.
Justice Cation said that. as far as he
was able to discover, there were no local
health laws. AS far as the city laws are
concerned. he added, there Is nothing to
require q body to be buried. Under state
laws. however, he said, q fine might be
imposed.
The body was shipped this afternoon to
Leesburg. Gilbert was drowned several
days ago.
Gray was represented by Attorney How

AMONG OTHER THINGS,
We MAKE SICK
PEOPLE WELL,

There is after all, only one
way in which to go about
making sick people we'll, and
that is the right way: sys-
tematically, regularly, and
with the best drugs, the best
people to compound them,
the best and most depend
able store service, and last,
but not least, quick delivery
of the finished alleviate to
the patient.
We have no less than four
registered pharmacists in
our store to begin with. This
answers the service question.
We are also very conscien-
tious as to how we'll and how
quickly We treat those who
are sick, and a personal call
o. a message by phone means
all possible haste with us.
There IS nothing in the
way of sick-room accessories
that we cannot show you
nothing new nor conducive
of comfort for the helpless
with which we have no pro-
vided ourselves.
We only ask your most
critical inspection.
II you are i'll, or have a
friend who is i'll, place your
self wholly in our care, as far
as the drug line goes.
We are the dependable
people for whom you are
looking.

It seems to US that the Al1-Alabama
convention at Montgomery made a
poor start, in adopting & resolution
asking for the full pardon Of W. s.
Harlan who was recently sentenced
for conspiracy to commit peonago.
AS We understand It the convention
was called for the purpose of de-
vising ways and means Of advertising
the states agricultural and industrie.
resources. Under such a call we fail
to note under what head a resolution
to pardon one sentenced with VIC
lating the laws Of the land could
come. Whether Mr.. Harlan is or is
not guilty has nothing to do with the
case. If the gentlemen present
wished to ask for such pardon they
should have done SO as individuals
and not have dragged the convention
