when asked which three thine

wiches and T Toll.
As to the museum, it Is justly considered
a phenomenon, the whole building, bigger
than Carnegie Library, Allegheny, being
filled with only the works ot one man
Thorwaldsen. The sandwiches are, of
course, more or less a matter ot individual
taste, although their preparation certainly
is as nearly gastionomic as can be. But
more popular and more unique than either
the museum or the sandwiches is Tivoli.
It is known from London to St Peters
burg, and advertised from Stockholm to
Berlin. Its reputation is based upon orien
tal splendor, true democracy and incredible
cheapness.
What the Famous Garden Is.
Tivoli is a garden; not a beer garden a la
Coner Island or Karraeansett Pier, but a
regular garden, laid out in beautiful flower
beds, strewn over with illuminating lights,
intersected with shadowy walks, dotted all
over with musio stalls, theaters, merry-go-rounds,
etc, and thronged with a surging
mass ot humanity ranging in number from
10,000 to 15,000 every night in quest of rec
reation and amusement.
As Copenhaeen's growth in the last 30 or
40 years has increased very rapidly, and as
the worthy city lathers found it advisable
to tear don the old walls and ramparts left
from the last attack of Lord Xelson iu 1807,
which, weak and ruined as they were,
mainly served the populace as promenades
and rendezvous, the inhabitants of "the
Athens of the North" thought it wise to
procure a new place where the old could
meet the old and the young could seek the
young in a couple of hours of congenial en
joyment and Tivoli sprang into existence.
It is about as large as Highland Park and
is situated in the center ot the city on the
main thoroughfare.
A Beat Chinese Theater.
"When one enters the main portal, the
first thing that strikes his eye on the lelt
side is a Chinese theater; a real, trenuine
one, such as seen in Hongkong or Canton,
real to all appearances but one: It has no
Chinese aciors. What is the curtain in an
ordinary theater is in it an enormous pea-

cock, whose feathers majestically fall aside,
when the performance starts. The ground
in front of the bnilding is elevated and at 6.
8 and 10 o'clock, the hours "the show is on,"
the evenly sloning hill is packed with a
yelling, feverish, good natured and appre
ciative multitude of men, women and chil
dren. The two first performances generally
consist of feats by acrobats, jugglers, dan
cers, etc., but the last and the most popular
one is the old time pantomime with the reg
ulation characters of Pierrot, Harlequin
and Columbine. Invariably after the close
of the last scene Pierrot is called before the
curtain, and invariably every night in re
sponse to the cries for a speech lie only
says: "Good-night, children;go home now."
Pierrot't curtain-call in this case is, per
haps, mostly due to the veneration the peo
ple entertain for the old actor, who now,
for nearly 40 years every night, has played
the same part. Mr. Volkersen is getting
old now, but his name will always linger in
the memories of the Tivoligoer as the one
who created the stereotyped character of
old, stupid Pierrot

we arrie at the main pavilion, where the
finest music is played. It is the Concert
hall. The orchestra is composed of 60
pieces and is conducted by an able leader.
They play mostly operatic music and on
two days Thursdays and Saturdays have
special concerts of higher class music, often
iurnishing as part of their programme some
solo performance by artists of European
renown.
The walk around the Concerthall is the
most fashionable promenade. You will
there find the Danish dude, who in an am
bitious attempt to copy both the French
and English visitors, succeeds in doing
neither, but, nevertheless, is most happy,
it some country reuben should mistake him
lor a foreigner and look at him in naive
amazement. The worthy merchant travels
around with his better half, followed by
halt a dozen fresh-looking, healthy
breathing youngsters, while the elder
danuels keep close to papa. The buxom
maidens, with the blonde hair and the bine

and Astnds are not allowed the same privi

Dncwn't Belonc to Any Ons Class.
In the chattering crowd we meet the
haughty professor, seeking a worldlv .rest
lrom his flighty journeys into the higher
realms; the finished man oi the world,
whom nothing moves and who moves no
body; the knight of the counter, who likes
to see how well Mrs. X. looks in that cloak
he sold her yesterday; the dummy-shaned
officer with pincenez and sabre, thinking
himself irresistible, while the durly-haired
student right alongside him receives the
greater share of the beauties' attention,
and, of course, this sets his 20-year old
heart afire and makes his bosom swell with
pride for the victory won by a fresh look
ing face with humor twinkling in every
corner.
And so the kaleidoscopic promenade goei
on and on every night ot the four long sum
mer months. In Denmark the snmmer
nights are long, cool and refreshing, some
times, perhaps, a little too chilly but then
the overooat will fix that.
Bight back of the Concerthall a little
stream glides noiselessly along; it twirls it
self through the garden, and reaches iti
greatest breadth at the foot of the bank,
lrom which we hear the soft music ot the
nearby orchestra. On it floats an old-time
war vessel, rigged out with masts, sails,
cannons, boats and all the paraphernalia
used in the warfare of the seventeenth cen
tury. It is supposed to be a true copy of
one of the frigates belonging to "him with
the one eye," he who lost that eye in the
battle at Femern in the time when the
Danish and Swedish kings waged war with
each other. Christian IV. was & good sea
man himself and jolly, too, as monarchs of
that day usually were.
vAuere Students Lore to Gather.
His old seahorse is now transformed into

Tennyson, we'll might the old king's spirit

A Great Deal of the Doubt About BeUgion
EeiulU From Bute,

rwnrrnx roa the dispatch, i
In the upper room at Jerusalem, upon the
feast of Pentecost, there was a sound as of a
rushing, mighty wind, and a sight as of
tongues of fire; and the Holy Spirit came.
God never forgets that we have eyes and
ears. Even the' most spiritual truth is
taught by symbols, is somehow made to
have an audible and visible accompaniment.
God's teaching is uniformly sacramental;
that is, the inward and spiritual grace has
an outward and visible sign. Baptism is a
spiritual cleansing, and its symbol is water;
the Lord's Supper is a spiritual strengthen
ing, and its symbol is bread and wine.
So the wind and the fire of "Whitsunday
were meant for symbols, were intended not
only for assurance, so that men might be
certain of the benediction of the Holy
Spirit, but also for instruction. They were
designed to teach us something about the
Holy Spirit's work. Jesus called the Holy
Ghost the Spirit of Truth. See how well
these symbols and that name accord to
gether. "Wind, which blows away the ob
scuring clouds of error, and fire, which
burns away the dross of falsehood these
are fit representatives of the mission and the
purpose of the Spirit of Truth.
He Live In All Lira.
This is one of the names'of God. God is
the Spirit of Truth. God is the Father;
that is, He is the source of all the life of the
universe. God is also the Son; that is, He
has manifested himself here among us so
that we may know His love and His will.
And God is the Holy Ghost; that is, it is
His voice which speaks in the conscience of
man, which spoke there ages before Christ
came, and speaks still now that Christ has
gone away into heaven. The revelation of
God which Is contained in this part of His
threefold name is that He is an ever-present
God. God guides the race. It is He
who lives in all life, and thinks in all
thought. Progress is but the consequence
of His constant urging of mankind onward
and upward.
The doctrine of evolution is a statement
in terms of science of this truth about God
which we emphasize to-dav. The world is
growing better; man is continually learning
the secrets of the mysterious universe about
him, and the laws of his own best liferand
so is making marvelous dfscovcries, and
solving old hard problems, is getting slowly
civilized and Christianized. And the im
pelling force which lies behind all this is
God, God the Holv Ghost, the Spirit of
Truth. Jesus promised that God would
guide us into all truth. And God is doing
that, every day we live.
Heresy as Truth In the Minority.
God is back of all the discussions. He it
is who prompts the questions. We think,
because God has set us thinking. God
speaks by the lips of men who stand in
pulpits; but he speaks also bv the lips of
other men who scarce know what a pulpit
looks like. God is heard in the utterances
of the orthodox, but not in them alone.
Often the heretics have had the larger
share of the truth of God. Heresy, indeed,
is not unfrequentlv truth in the minority.
It is accounted heresy because the great
body of men have not yet learned it. Pres
ently it makes its way, and is stamped
orthodox. But truo or not, orthodox or not,
all search after spiritual realities is inspired
of God. By stress of opposition, by sharp
ness of criticism, by anv discipline which
will makes us think, the spirit of truth
guides us into truth.
There is no conception of God which meets
more closely the sincerest longings of this
generation than this: That God is the Spirit
of Truth, the guide and helper of men to
ward truth. Sin and sorrow are with us
now as always, crying out, in the prayer
that never ends, for God the Father and
God the Redeemer, but never before has
any generation so cried out for truth, so in
terested itself seeking after truth. And we
touch the heart of living questions which
living men are' asking, and we teach that
God above us loves truth more than we do.
and desires us to know the truth even more
than we desire to know it. God will guide
us into truth.
Milton's Idea of a Noblo Poem.
Whoever, then, would know the truth ot
God it is essential, first, that he loves God,
and then that he is willing to be guided.
Jesus said that knowledge of divine truth
depends on character, that the doctrine of
God is to be discovered by following the
will oi God. That is true of all manner of
truth. The most potent factor in all
thought is character. Milton was right
when he said that he who would write a noble
poem must first live a noble poem. Poetry
is not to be composed 'by rule; the high
secret is not attained by any amount of
knowledge about iambics or dactylics.
Poetry comes out of the heart; its roots are
deep down in the subsoil of human charac
ter. In science, too, discoveries are made
by men who have the character of the dis
coverer! Thev must live right and they
must think right before they can know
right
This is evidently and pre-eminently true
in religion. Spiritual things are spiritually
discerned. Ouly the pure in heart can see
God.
There is, then, first, a close connection be
tween truth and goodness. We will arrive
at all the truth we need to know, if we will
but begin by iiviiig the best life we know
bow to live. If any man will but follow
the best religious light that he has, and do
his nearest duty with all his might, and fol
low just as much of the divine will as he
knows, he will attain the highest truth; be
will know of the doctrine, which some men
say is true, whether it is true of God or not
Incapacitated for Truth.
Behind much unbelief there is a moral
reason. St Augustine said that any man
who suffers himself to be guided by his five
senses has five strong arguments against the
Christian religion. No man who is habitu
ally profane, unchaste, dishonest, slander
ous ot speech, a liar, a fierce and unforgiv
ing hater, can possibly know spiritual truth.
Such a person's pronouncements upon re
ligion have almost as much value as a deaf
man's opinion ot the Ninth Symphony of
Beethoven. He has simply incapacitated
himself for spiritual truth.
As much may be said, though a little less
emphatically, of anyone who lives foolishly,
superficially, frivolously, who does mean
things, thiiiks small thoughts, lives in the
lower side of his nature, aud looks down
rather than up. What such a person says
either for or against any doctrine ot re
ligion is to be classed with the comments
which a frequenter of the dime museums
might make upon the plays of Shakespeare.
It must be recognized that there is such a
fact in human nature as absolute incapacity
for judgment He only can give right judg
ment who is capable of intellectual and
spiritual sympathy with that of which he
judges. Certain courses of life must inevit
ably make intellectual and spiritual sym
pathy with anything high and holy well
nigh impossible. The recognition ot relig
ious truth, like the recognition of the
beautiful in art and literature, like the rec
ognition of the heroio and the fine in hu
man life, depends on character. A man
must be a good man before he can know
what any Christian doctrine means.
31 any People Prefer Darkness.
The light, as the Lord said, has come into
the world, and the reason why so many peo-
file stay back in the dark is not because the
ieht is so dim. or so remote, or so hidden.
I that many people cannot find it, look they
never so sharply, but simply because a
great many people have diligently culti
vated such a preference for darkness that
they have lost their sight
I would suggest, then, to any one who
feels a lack of spiritual appreciation, or
who finds it diffcult to receive religious
truth, that some oi the fault may be in him
self. It is always possible, of course, that
what we hold for true may be mistaken; but
is certain that only the Saints will ever find
it out If any man who is living far belon
the ideal life thinks that he has discovered
blunders in the creed, the chances are that
he is like a man with disordered sight who
sees black specks floating over the blue sky;
the specks are in his eyes, the blunders are
in his own imperfect spiritual vision.
In addition to this close connection be
tween truth and goodness there is also an
intimate, relation between truth and guid
ance. Host Be trilling to Bo Guided.
The promise is that the Spirit of Truth
will guide us into all truth. And that im
plies that if we would attain the promise we
must be willing to be guided; and guidance
means following, means humility and pa
tience,means a forsaking of forwardness and
hurry. This has to do, not so much with
right living, as with right thinking.
Whoever lives a worthy life and has a
clear mind and a heart open to heaven, and
yet accounts as untrue that which we hold
to be the most precious of all truth there
are several things which may be said in
such a case. Either what we regard as truth
is not tiuth, as he says; or what we regard
as truth we have not succeeded in teaching
truly,being message-bearers with an impedi
ment of speech, so' that he attacks, not the
truth, but our stammering utterance of it;
or else there is something the matter with
his way of considering" truth, with his
method of thinking. Perhaps he is not
willing to wait for guidance. He may be
in a hurry. Whoever will know the truth
must not make haste. All hurried think
ing is wrong thinking.
I read some time ago the address of the
president of a scientific association in whioh
he complained of what he called the demon
of scientific haste. All the young men, he
said, want to make brilliant discoveries,
and are not willing to do the plodding
work which can alone make scientific ac
curacy or usefulness possible. Wo have
equal reason to complain of the demon of
theological haste.
Findlns Out tha Meaning.
Thus, our reason for some'people's rejec
tion of what they think to be the Christian
religion is that they will not wait to find
out what the Christian religion really is.
Men who have been in the habit of account
ing themselves heretical are not unfre
quently surprised to discover upon com
parison of views that they really hold only
what most sensible Christians have long
held. They have been quietly thinking
that the.v were the only intelligent people
in all Christendom, the only lovers of rea
son and ot liberty of tnought, and they find
to their amazement that the Church of
Christ cares for the truth just as much as
they do, and perhaps a little more, and has
beengrowing year by year, and is still
growing, into better realization of the high
est truth.
The complaint which we make about a
great many critics of Christianity is that
they do not know what they are talking
about They are inveiehinc- against anhasa
of religion which has long since been out
grown by the majority ot Christians. They
forget that revelation is of necessity pro
gressive; that man can learn of God only so
much as he is capable of learning; that im
perfect ideas ol God are to be expected all
along. There can be no progress without
imperfection. But all the time, the great,
progressive, living and learning Church of
Christ if leaving imperfection in the back
ground. Progress Must Be Recognized.
All the men of science once believed that
the earth is the center of the universe; but
we do not cast that in their teeth to-day.
All the men of religion once believed in a
theory ot the atonement which made the
death of Christ a bargain between God and
the devil; but we have advanced to higher
truth since then. There is a church in
Borne which even to-day no woman is
allowed to enter. The church is dedicated
to St. John the Baptist, and women are for
bidden in it because once upon a time a
woman asked for the head of John the Bap
tist All women, that is, are estimated by
the conditions of life in the days of
Herodias. They are all accounted to be
sisters of Herod's brother Philip's wife.
In much the same way a good many hasty
thinkers, who never go to church, and have
no idea what the modern church is teach
ing, account all Christians to be close kins
men of the theologians of the days oi
bigotry.
It is n good plan, whenever any man is
tempted to fault the doctrines of the Chris
tian Church, for him to find out first what
Christian doctrine really is. For nothing
amazes sensible Christians more than to read
the statements which men make, who ought
to know better, concerning the beliefs
which they s iy we hold about God, about
the Bible and about the future life. They
are as aosura as the questions which people
in England are fabled to ask about buffaloes
in the. streets oi Chicago.
f ntlence In the Donbtnrs.
Again, when a real doctrine of religion is
assailed, men who do not know how to
think will not wait to hear how it is de
fended. Unfortunately objections can
rarely be answered as epigranimatically as
they can be stated. If a man wants his ob
jections answered he must have patience;
he must not be in a hurry; and he must
have, also, some mtasure of understanding
to comprehend the answer. You may deny
in one minute that the earth revolves about
the sun. You may say, "Why, look; use
your eyes; employ your common sense!
Isn't that the sun? Wasn't it here an hour
ago, and isn't there now? Can't you see it
move?"
But nobody can answer that denial in one
minute, nor in two minutes, Nor can the
wisest man make the real truth perfectly
plain, alter any amount of reasoning, to the
mind of ignorance. The more difficult the
subject, the nearer its approach to the re
gions of mystery, so much the harder is it
to explain it satisfactorily to the man who
is in a hurry. The question may be absurd,
the objections may be ridiculous, but they
cannot well be disposed ot off-hand.
It Tnkes Time to Investigate.
And a great many people are in a hurry.
The demon ot theological baste is pushing
them behind. They do not wait to hear the
Christian reason. They tarry for a sentence
or two; but the reply is somewhat long, and
wearisome, and hard to follow, needs a
good deal of patient thinking, and is not, in

Charges Against His People.

UTAH'S ELIGIBILITT TO STATEHOOD.
CWKITf 1T TO TITB DISPATCH. 1
From the first the Mormons hare eon
tended that they were not understood by
the world, that neither their religion nor
their conduct was investigated by those not
of them, but that judgment was passed and
execution issued on an ex parte statement
of the case.
It was known that Mormons believed in
and practiced polygamy, and as the Chris
tianity and the civilization of the age were
both opposed to plural marriage, what we
term enlightened mankind turned against
the Mormons without taking the trouble
to inquire as to the extent of the so-called
evil or to ask what manner of people these
Mormons were outside of their maritial
practices. It was assumed that all Mor
mons were polygamists, that the women
were of the offensive class, that theO riental
harem was the prototype of our homes, that
immorality was prevalent and sanctified by
religion, and that the cornerstone of our
faith was lust
A Charge of Wilful Ignoranoe.
Yet, as a matter of fact, polygamy was
practiced by such a small percentage ot the
De'ega e John T. Cain'.
people as to make it little more than an
incident in a great community numbering
200,000 souls. The Mormon homes are and
always have been as pure as the homes of
other people; Mormon wives are as virtuous
and modest and Mormon men as regardful
of the marital vows and obligations as the
wives and husbands in any other Christian
society.
Proof that the American people are de
plorably aud inexcusably ignorant concern
ing our community is fprnished in the re
cent savage assault upon President Eliot,
of Harvard University. Dr. Eliot did not
applaud or justify polygamy; he did not
even speak tolerantly of it On the con
trary, his address was in the nature of a
congratulation to the country and to the
Mormons themselves that polygamy had
been discontinued. He did, however) say a
good word to and for the Mormons, not on
account of their polvgamy which no sane
man should charge him with approving
but because of those spiritual and material
virtues of the Mormons of which ordinary
people have so persistently refused to learn.
How President KUot Reasoned.
The doctor saw in Utah pretty and pros
perous cities and thriving towns; he saw
stately business blocks and magnificent
residences; he met men and women who
were in no respect inferior to the educated
and cultured people with whom he is in the
habit of associating elsewhere; in short, he
saw that a vigorous young American com
monwealth had sprung up in the wilderness
of a few years ago, and he very naturally
concluded that what he saw could not have
been achieved by a depraved and immoral
people. It takes earnestness and integrity,
honesty and devotion, brains and brawn arid
withal a sincerity of purpose to accomplish
what a generation has brought forth in
Utah. President Eliot knew this and he is
broad enough to recognize these virtues,
courageous enough to acknowledge them
and manly enough to commend and applaud
them.
It has been asserted among other things
that the Mormons are largely foreign born
and are alien in sentiment It is sufficient
answer to this that the founders ot the
church were New Englanders, most of the
early leaders being ot Puritan stock. Tne
suceessie census reports prove that the per
centage of foreign born population is lower
in Utah than in many of the older States.
The community is essentially American in
birth and none the less so in sentiment,
training and education.
Thn Mormon Claim to Patriotism.
Within a few hours of the arrival of the
pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley Brigham
Young and a few ot his handful of followers
climbed a lofty mountain overlooking the
site of the present Salt Lake City and
erecting a flastaff thereon, swung
to the breeze the Stars and Stripes.
That mountain has since been known
as Ensign Peak. The flag of the
Mormons always has been the flag of the
American union. It has waved continuously
over all that broad laud since the July day
in 1847 when it was taken from the box in
which it had been carefully transported over
a thousand miles ot tracKless wilderness and
raised in an enemy's country. The national
holidays and events inspiring entnusiasm in
American breasts have been celebrated in
Utah as elsewhere throughout the land, the
commemorative bonfires burning as brightly,
the cannon roaring as merrily, the addresses
breathing as deep patriotism and the masses
"enthusing" and applauding as heartily
and sincerely as in Massachusetts or
Virginia.
All this talk which has been dinned into
the ears of the American people for the
third of a century to the effect that the
Mormons are aliens and wanting in patriot
ism is malicious slander, which has been
disnroven everv day, though the evidence
has been rejected by many professing pa
triots. Tlielr Tlrllef In thn Comtttntlon.
The Constitution of the United States has
been the boast of Moimons always, and you
will hear from the pulpits and in the
lowliest cottage the confident expression of
belief that that greatest of human enact
ments is an instrument inspired by the
Almighty. Indeed, it is the patriotic be
lief religiously held that it is a part of the
mission ot the saints to preserve inviolate
that sacred instrument and protect it, by
force ot arms, if need be, against desecra
tion. ' Brigham Young was an American through
nd through. His ambition was to build a
ornmomvealth which would excite the ad
miration and command the respect of the
nation. He laid the foundation in Ameri
canism, and built thereon to the time ot his
death. The structure, so cleverly designed
and with which he made such remarkable
progress, has been carried forward upon
the original plan largely under the inspira
tion ot the founder. The Utah common
wealth, which is no longer a mormon com
monwealth, as some. still insist is the case,
is destined to become the foremost, the
grandest and altogether the b?st in the
great interior West And this will be so
because of the honesty, the devotion, the
religious sincerity and the broad American
ism in which the fonndation was laid and
on which the edifice is being erected. Re
cent events will accelerate the growth and
development and in my opinion strengthen
and improve the structure.
Polygamy Baa Gone Forever.
The Mormons, haying withstood for half
PiXrVsSRl
a century an almost universally antagon
istic sentiment, have seen the unwisdom of
longer continuing the contest and have
gracefully yielded. They have forbidden
plural marriages and given obedience to
laws which they thought were unconstitu
tional, but which they now respect, since
the authority to interpret and decide hat
upheld them.
"Polygamy conld no more be resuscitated
in Utah than could slavery in the South.
The Mormons have accepted the decrees of
the great arbiters to which all must bow,
the law and popular sentiment and, having
placed themselves in their civil capacity in
harmony with their fellows, the common
wealth which they founded and in which all
the good people of Utah, without regard to
creed or party, are proud of membership,
will go forward with mighty strides.
The antagonistic elements, which clashed
so furiously during the long contest and
which had a more or less injurious effect
upon the State, are fast disappearing, the
former opponents coming together and
working harmoniously in the Duilding ot
the great State upon "which all our hearts
are set John T. Caete.

The St Louis Globe-Democrat gives a
curious list of the drinks which various
famous speakers use during their protracted
oratorical effort M. Floquet, when speak

drinks a solution of gum arable, which he
has recently substituted for weak coffee.
Neither M. de Preycinet nor M. Constans

Gladstone, 1 have been told, used to take
water, but in recent years, since his voice
has begun to grow htukv, he uses a sort of
egg flip, made of the yelk of egg and a lit

The mixture, which is prepared by his

The Slighter the TVonud the More Commo

Popular Science Monthly.
The manner in which men fall depends
also upon the nature of the action in which
they are engaged. Nearly everyone is fa
miliar with the traditional stage fall, where
the victim of a supposed death-shot strikes
an attitude, clasps his hand to his heart,
stiffens every joint and muscle, breatnes
hysterically, and goes down like a log top
pied over from end to end.
Another popular yet erroneous notion is
that men shot through the vitals leap into
the air and go down in a dramatic attitude.
Sometimes men are found on the field In
striking positions but often an examina
tion shows that the position was taken after
the falL As a rule, a man who is hit above
the hips goes down. The slighter the
wound the more commotion, for the body
instinctively resists, Just as it does when
one slips or is pushed or collides with seme

weakens the resistance, and men sink at

"When the half-hour was expired, says
Peanon't Weekly, the deceased was put into
a cart, which was driven at a gallop along
the stony road. This jolting generally
brought the prisoner to. One such recovery
was so complete that the resuscitated man
sat up in the coffin and gave, three cheers.
One of his friends was so shocked at this in
decent conduct that he hit the ex-corpse on
the head with his shillelagh and finished
him. The qucstionthen arose whether the
assailant could not be tried for murder, but
it was ruled that no man could be success

It is said that while at Copenhagen last
snmmer the Czar distinguished himself as a
boxer, boxing having become the lavorite
form of exercise ot this imperial Hercules.
Uis great difficulty is, and always has been,
to find anyone ready or willing to stand up
against him and to respond to each blow by
a counter one. Neither his Kussian brothers
nor any dignitaries of his court are particu
larly nilline to obi ice in this matter, as
thev dread not only the force ot his power

ment in the event of their responding to his
blows.
Iudeed, the only man who ventures to put
on the gloves with him, and to meet him
fairly and squarely, is his brother-in-law,
young Waldemar, the sailor Prince of Den
mark. The Czar would do well to abandon
the gloves, for he is apparently unable to
realize the extent ot his strength, and does
much damage with his sledge-hammer blows.
