mas Deen 1OunQ alunOuSn every COi-
ner of the city to which she might
venture for a refuge has been visited
in vain. Interest in the search for
her has been unusually keen because
of the extraordinary character of the
crimes of which her husband was
convicted. Moving in the best So
ciety of St Petersburg, and welcome
guest at the cars court, Count de
Lacy, conceiving that he could secure
possession of large and valuable es-
tates held by the relatives of his wife
by expediting their deaths, was
charged with employing an elder
ly physician of some skill to innocu-
late them with cholera microbes. In
this way he was accused with doing
away with the brother of his wife,
Count Vasilli Boturlin, and with at
tempts on the life of her father and
her aunt.
The father persisted in the belief
that his daughter had assisted in the
plot, though she was not directly ac-
cused at the trial. After the convic-
ton her family spurned her The old
aunt, Nine. de Lazari. who had been
a mother to her, moved to Paris to
escape from the scandal, after turn

Practically penniless. disowned by
her relatives, denied by her former

ported to have gone out of her mind
Her father ordered a provision for

advised she had fed to America.
Whoever invented that yarn tele-
gra phed from the Pacific coast the
other day quoting the Rev. Dr. Chas.
F. Aked as saying that New York is
spiritually cold and it's inhabitants as
chilly as their city's winter weather,
brought down on the head of that
we'll known divine, without intending
it, the bottled up wrath of the city's
churchgoers. DR.. Aked made many
warm friends here when he came to
New York three years ago from Liv-
erpool to assume charge of John d.
Rock efeller's Fifth Avenue Baptist
church. and the unfriendly remarks
imputed to him concerning his first
American pastorage grieved them
deeply. The officers of the Fifth
avenue church, who gave him sal
airy at least twice and possibly three
times what he had been receiving in
England, and treated him with every
consideration, were much stirred up
over the interview, which the minis
ter says is a fabrication. Before its
reputation reached New York sew
ole ad
the dispatch, which they believed to
be true, SHE'D several verbal bricks at
the former Rockefeller dominy, who
is now doing ministerial work in San
Francisco, charging him with being
an egotist and other things. The
Rev. DIR. Bubois H. LouX, pastor OF
the Metropolitan temple, was par
| ticularly caustic.
"Dr. Aked came here with fine
hopes, high ambitions" said Dr. LouX
He had left a splendid, warm heart
ed church in Liverpool, where he had
had great success. But New York
has been called the graveyard of
provincial regulations, and whatever
relation Liverpool may bear to Lon
don, it is certainly provincial when
compared with New York. When DR..
Aked arrived he felt the dignity of
being John d. Rockefellers pastor
He lent himself easily to personal
description. which led some persons
TO believe that he was an egotist
New York has no use for egotism
It believes in, it worships success, a
success that let's it's deeds tell its
story.
New York, from a ministerial
point Of view, is not cold, but it is
not coquettish. 1t is slow to win
When DR.. Aked came here he found
the Fifth Avenue Baptist church
wasn't even on the avenue, and he
wanted a new church there.
IF he had waited he might have
gotten his wish. But New Workers
believe more in the builder than in
the building. and DR.. Aked had not
had time to show his congregation
| that he was a builder.
