As all three of these young men have the advantage of vast wealth and almost boundless prestige behind them, however, enough success to keep them permanently in the public eye is virtually assured to them. The Belmonts are very generally familiar as the prominent sons of prominent men, but only one of them- August has shown great initiative and force-Sons Of Governors And Clergymen, Many Governors of States have left behind them sons who are as great as their sires, though not many of them have chosen politics for their field.

Richard Yates, son of the great "War Governor" of Illinois, is an He also served Illinois as Governor, his Inauguration coming just 30 years later than his father's. Rev. Dr. Morgan Dlx, rector of Trinity Church in New York, who might have been bishop over and over, is the son of that New York Governor, John A.

Bishop Potter, of New York, is the son of one bishop and the nephew of another. Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor and divine, is the son of Jacob Abbott.the historian and member of a New England family that has made good for generations. Peter Cooper Hewitt, son of Abram Hewitt, publicist and captain of industry, has made good at 30 or thereabouts most remarkably in the yet infant service of electricity. He bids fair to enroll his name on the list of inventors aloifg with YV att and Morse and Edison and Tesia, Ambassador McCormick, whose name has been in the forefront a good deal of late because of his delicate position at the Russian Court, is a son ot one of the McCormicks made famous by the reaper.

Alexander Agasslz. son of Louis Agassiz, the scientist, has made good in more than one way. Because he knew his geology so well he has made a big fortune in copper, and this has enabled him to prosecute his scientific researches with absolute independence. Though a modest man as most, though not all, scientists are he is not unmindful of his own fame, and the other day when Andrew Carnegie offered to share with him the expense of the latest Agassiz expedition, on condition that it should be known as the Carnegie-Agassiz expedition, he declined the offer with spirit and finality. Holmes And Mitchell.

Though most of the famous men's sons who have made good have done so along lines similar or akin to those marked out by their fathers, others have followed lines entirely new to the family genius. Oliver Wendell Holmes, the son of the "Autocrat of the Breakfast Tablfc," is a case in point. His father devoted himself to medicine and literature the son preferred law, and by reason of his legal acumen and profound RUSSIA'S RELIGION History Of The Greek Church Briefly Outlined. ITS SEPARATION FROM ROME Except On A Few Points The Russian Faith Is In Accord With The Roman Poiuts Of Difference. Br William I.

Cook. Russia, in the vastness of its geographical and territorial dimensions, the extent of its colonial possessions, the numbers and varied characteristics of its people, and the prominence of its commercial activities, Iirs conspicuous rank as one of the most important and powerful nations on the giobe. And yet, singularly enough, even very many intelligent persons are possessed of most pronounced misconceptions relative to Russia, its government and its people and these misconceptions have been given freer expression and become more obvious since the beginning of the great war started a few mouths ago and now raging between that country and Japan. These misconceptions consist largely in the belief that the Russians are a semi-barbarous people who have failed and refused to recognize and profit by the beneficence of civilization, culture and physical and mental development, and whose morality, worship and practices are much of the kind of paganism of ancient Rome. When one reflects, however, it is not greatly surprising that such impressions exist.

For several centuries Russia has had conspicuous place as, perhaps, the most autocratic, tyrannical ami despotic government on the face of the earth. Her people have been in the galling chains of the most abject servitude, in constant terror of imperial maledictions, and with scarcely a glimmer of hope of ultimate emancipation. The man or woman, indeed, in Russia audacious as to breathe the word "freedom," or who indicates a purpose to be released from political bondage, falls at once into the dragnet of official persecution, and the penalty is so horrible, so degrading and so brutal that the prayer of the victim for relief from his sufferings is for a speedy death. Very true, within a period covering the last score of years, the severity of Russian rule has been considerably modified. Siberian exile, with its awful terrors, is less frequent serfdom has to some extent been abolished, and the Iron pressure of the imperial heel on political and social action somewhat relaxed.

Yet movements toward humane reforms are not always speedy and enduring, and the time is, perhaps, far distant when Russia will yield to the cries of her oppressed subjects and a common humanity and adopt a policy that will obliterate the causes for nihilism, rebellion and conspiracies in her domains, and create a spirit of peace, contentment and safety. A Saving- Christianity. GOULD much of a figure." Remarks like this, often heard when the son of an eminent man Is under discussion. Indicate accurately the public attitude toward the youngster whose father has made a name and a place in the world for himself. This Is especially true if the father is President of the United States.

But the facts do not justify the attitude. Strictly speaking, only 21 Presidents' eons, concerning whom there are available records, have grown to manhood. Six Presidents Washington, Madison, Jackson, Polk, Buchanan (a bachelor) and McKin-ley left no children. Two Jefferson and Monroe left daughters only. President Johnson had two sons, but both died before he was President, and so do not count.

The sons of 13 Presidents John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Van Buren, William Henry Harrison. Tyler, Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and Benjamin Harrison have lived to man's estate. The sons of Cleveland and Roosevelt are still boys. Of the 21 Presidents' sons who have reached manhood have bulked large in the public eye on their own account, and all but one or two have stood well among those who knew them best have been solid, substantial citizens. The prominent nine are John Quincy Adams, President, diplomatist and Congressman Charles Francis Adams, jpublicist and statesman Robert Tyler, Register of the Confederate Treasury Richard Taylor, who served with distinguished gallantry on the Confederate side of the Civil War; John Van Buren, prominent in State politics and just entering national politics when he died Robert Todd Lincoln, Cabinet Minister, diplomatist and president of a world-famous corporation Frederick Dent Grant, diplomatist and general in the army Henry A.

Garfield, lawyer, banker and professor of polities in a great university, and II. Garfield. State Senator, United States Civil-Service Commissioner and Commissioner of Corporations in the Department of Commerce and Labor. Besides the nine who have climbed so high there is John Scott Harrison, who had the unique distinction of being the son of one President and the father of another. He was a man of force and with great influence in his own State, though he was not a prominent figure in a national sense.

Counting him in, and he surely "made good," 10, or only one less than half the President's sons who have reached manhood are entitled to be named on the roll of honor. Tli Greatest President's Son. Unquestionably John Quincy Adams was 1 the greatest President's son.

Re- called because of political changes, he eit- tered the State Legislature and later the House of Representatives. He was inaugurated President in 1S25, and is the only President who ever sat in Congress after the close of his term as Chief Magistrate. His whole life was one of great usefulness to his country, yet as he tried to lay our a middle course between the conservatism of the old regime and the radicalism of the new, he was at times condemned impartially by almost everybody. Possibly Ms greatest services were rendered in the negotiation of treaties in the 10 years from 1809 to 1S19, when the United States was new and stood in need of a great by bis sons, James A. and Richard H.

The Stockton family of New Jersey furnished five Senators, the term of the first, Richard, who was. one of the "signers," being preceded by service in the Continental Congress, and the term of the last, John concluding in 187o. The Frelinghuysens, also of New Jersey, gave three Senators to the country; the Colquits of Georgia ns many, and members of all four of these families have served the country In other ways with distinction, though no member of any of them is now in public service.

Ills father appeared to have little faith in him, and for rears after William H. was a full-grown man kept him on the now famous fetaten Island farm.

It was while William H. and his family were living on the Staten Island farm that Cornelius the second showed what stuff he was made of.

Though his grandfather was one of the richest men in the country, young Cornelius, still in his teens, knew that his father was short of funds. So one day he crossed the ferry from Staten Island to Manhattan Island and applied for a job as clerk in one of the hanks. He had some difficulty in reaching the president of the institution, but persisted, and was finally led into his presence. After listening to the application the banker asked the lad's name. "Cornelius Vanderbilt," was the reply.

"Possibly related to Commodore questioned the banker somewhat quizzically, whereupon the boy said be was a- grandson of the famous railroad king, but explained that he wanted to be employed, If at all, on his own merits, and not because he had a grandfather. He was taken on, and made good as a bank clerk. Later when his grandfather heard about it and asked the young man to accept a minor place in the offices of the New York and Harlem Railroad at $2,200 a year he made good there, too. William K. Vanderbilt and his son, "Willie also the sons of Cornelius the second, are all prominently before the world, but only Cornelius the second made good on his own initiative, though the abilities of William K.

both initiative and executive are of a high order. Cornelius the third, whose invention of an improved locomotive firebox made some stir in the railroad world a few years ago, is the only member of the fourth generation of Vanderbilts who have ever seemed to take life seriously, and even he appears to have dropped out ot the running, being now inclined to live chiefly for social success and amusement. It is likely, though, that he is one of those who would have made good with the "half a chance" that 18 supposed to be the portion of the youngster-born with plenty of ambition but no money. When he was planning his firebox he showed that he would be sure to surmount, In hi way. The change In me wns slight and subtle.

Only a man in love would have noticed It, but It was enough It won, and I soon became Mrs. John Godfrey. Very soon, to my dismay, I found I had drawn a very bad blank. In spite of all my knowledge of men I was unhappy. My divorce followed, and for lew weeks I thought I should never love again.

I was granted a divorce, but in a few months I had found another husband and a new method. William Gay, of Bridgeport; whom I had picked out for my firth husband, was rnther timid. He was young and accustomed to having his own way. I discovered that easily. Of course, whenever a woman decides upon her line of conduct she must understand the character of the man she wants to win.

I decided finally that 24 was on age when I should still be wooed, but that I would plant no testacies, not one, in the path of my wooer. When The Woman Should Woo. He should find me standing with opea arms agreeing with every Idea that he might put forward. Sharing his opinions as soon as be expresm-d them, 1 yielded every point. I petted him and spoiled him, though he did not guess it.

I don't believe hecver was so happy in his life. To be more so be claimed me entirely. Together, us man and wife, we lived for two years. During that time we found we had made a fatal mistake, ljlvoree gave me my freedom and prepared me fof No. 6.

I was 27, almost twice as old as when I won my first husband. I bad the good sense to know that I must be souiethinij quite, quite different. James H. Lindley, of Merlden, began to attract me so much that my only desire In life was to nttract him. I considered the manners of all the girls I could see of 27.

Some were too obviously anxious to please, and some made too great an-effort to appear indifferent. I determined to strike happy medium. I determined that at 27 a woman must woo, but that she must never for a miuute allow the object of her affections to suspect them. She should find out his weak points and cater to them. She should unearth his vanities and pay himcompliments to please them.

At -7 a woman should court tlio man she wants to win just as he has courted her in her earlier years, only bin courtship is not hidden. Hers is more difficult because it must consist of little underhand attentions. If he is low-spirited she must cheer him if his feelings have been hurt she must soothe him. Her tusk is not easy, but it will repay her. It did me.

I became Mrs. James Lindley, and remained happy for a few months only a few then came the awakening, the separation. I was free once more, free, and scarcely free, before I had met the man whose name I now bear, and from whom I hope soon to be divorced. Thomas Crowther was a rich hotel keeper, a man of experience, a man who knows the world and the women la It. 1 felt confident tbat he would yield to my fascinations and become my seventh husband if I knew how to win him.

I felt that I must do something entirely new, and 1 carefully thought out my plan of action. At 31 I decided a woman must make herself necessary to a man. She must contribute to his comfort, material and mental. She must be solicitous of him, and she needn't bide it from him, either. She must always be on the lookout for his advancement.

She must be a helpmeet In every sense of the word. If she helps him before marriage it is a promise that she will help him after. At 31 I decided to do the wooing, and I did it so well that I bad the pleasure of leading Thomas Crowther to the altar In short order. I had wooed him by flattery of every sort, and I have found that from a woman of 30 a man can stand any amount of it. All that she must be careful about is to make it teem sincere.

WUh my next, my eighth, whom I already have In view, my methods wiU be even more daring. My admiration for the man I want to win will be openly shown, but I shall be careful not to bother him in the least, I shall only flatter him with my admiration, and demand nothing in return but his permission to admire. These are the lessons I have learned up to this the period of my eighth conquest. I am certain No. 8 will be a prize, or I could not be so enthusiastic.

I have always believed each time that I married that I should be happy, and 1 do not yet despair. One thing I have learned the only way to find out what a man really is is to him, and the only wuy to try him is by marriage. I have tried marriage seven times. I am now ready for the eighth. As soon as I have my divorce from Mr.

Crowther the name of my eighth will be disclosed, for I am certain I shall win him as certain as I have been seven times before. FABLES OF THE DAY By Bolton Hall. The Chnritahle Mnn. Once upon a time a man owned a herd of cattle, which were lean even to starvation, and their bones stuck out of their skins. He owned also a luxuriant pasture from which his cattle were excluded by a strong, high fence.

But this owner, whatever might be said of his wits, was a kind-hearted fellow, who occupied himself daily in pulling handfuls of grass from the pasture and shoving them through the fence to the hungry animals outside. Nevertheless, the weaker cattle starved and died. One day a passerby said to him Friend, tlo you own these cattle?" "1 do." 'And do you own the pasture?" "Yes." "Then why don't you let down the bars, so that the cattle can feed themselves?" Said the owner: "I have as yet failed to see that letting down the bars would la a panacea for all the leanness these cattle are heirs to. Instead of broaching far. away theories, do something practical-jump over the feuce and help me pull some grass and feed it to the calves." The Ship Of State.

Ages and ages ago a great ship set sail for the Tort of Happiness, and on her voyage she ran aground iu the darkness. But the passengers took no notice of it, and the officers, seeing that they would be blamed, made as if all were well. The weeds and barnacles grew about the ship, and It seemed that she had always stood still. As for the crew, they said "Why should we care. If we only earn our usual pay?" But the 'ship was straining and In danger of going to pieces.

She pounded heavily upon the sand. "Those noises," said the captain, "are strikes. We have always had such troubles." One day a fisher came to the coast, ana when he saw the ship be began to push nt it the passengers laughed at him. Others passed bv, and to them he called, "Come and help nie." And now and then one joined him. The officers Bald: "These people are disturbers of the peace.

They must be driven off." And the others said "If they push the ship off, no one knows where she will go or what will become of her." Then the passengers stood upand shouted to those who worked: "You fools, your intentions are good, but you are ahead of the times, and the wind is against you." The fisher replied: "The tide Is rising." And still he cried aloud for help. Sums of the passengers came and helped hlra push, and the timbers cracked. "That," said 'the ship's doctor, "is tUe necessary strife of nature." And some of those who were ou board grew sick in the hot rnys of the sun, so that tbelr groans annoyed the officers, and they put the sick In the hold. He who pushed cried out: "The Kingdom of God Is at hand." The officers did not understand him therefore they put him to death. Nevertheless the commotion attracted many, and now and then one left his work and hauled and pried with a lever, or fastened a float under the ship.

And some, though meaning to strengthen the ship, fastened weights about her sides. These they culled reforms and charities. The pilot said "To try to get the ship off Is Utopian. Let us make the people as comfortable as possible, so that they will -be quiet," But as the tollers strove wearily and almost discouraged a wind from God came out of the west, and when all pushed, the great ship moved off, and behold, It had tarried almost In sight of the Kingdom. And many of those who were pushing died in the chill waters, and some were drowned and many forgotten.

But their names are written In the book of remembrance of him who cried, "The Kingdom of God Is at hand." How He Saw It.

Orowthers. HER STORY OF HER HUSBANDS Began Her Matrimonial Ventures At Fourteen She Tells How Women Should Woo At Various Ages. Between the ages of 14 and 34, a period of 20 years, Mrs. Mary J. Crowthers, of New York, has had seven husbands.

She has lost some by death and some by divorce. Her seven hearthstones have been presided over by rich men and poor men, by a railroad official, a grocer, a restaurant proprietor, a capitalist, a hotelkeeper. Her last husband, against whom, through her attorney, George Robinson, of 09 Nassau street, New York, she has. brought suit for divorce, settled upon her a house worth $30,000. Her experiences have been so remarkable and varied that the readers of this newspaper will be glad to read her own story of the secret of successes.

24. Seven husbands have taught me a great deal about the nature of man, and I am quite willing to hand on my information to the rest of my sex. It Is the easiest thing In the world to get a husband if you only go about it in the right way. I began my conquests at 14. Am now 35, and I am on my eighth my eight genuine conquest.

lie will step In when No. 7 steps out. Through my lawyer, Mr, George Robinson, I am suing him for my divorce. Looking back upon my married course, I have learned that each period of a worn-" an's years demands new methods. She may, for instance, be simple and shy at 14, but not at 20.

She should do the wooing at 27 that she may disdain at 18 Now, most women seem to think that, having succeeded in captivating with a certain manner, they may ontinue using that same manner from girlhood to maturity. That Is a fatal mistake. They should change with their development. From my experiences I can set down the following line of conduct as worth trying: its recommendation is that iu every instance it has succeeded in winning a husband: Be timid, simple, natural at 14. It Is the only time in life when a woman may be.

So enjoy it and make the most of it. Be confiding, dependent and helpless at' IS. Be coy, resemble as nearly as possible a dear little pussy cat that wants to be petted and coddled. At 21 show that you know something of the world. Instead of being timid, assert yourself.

Insist upon being treated as an equal even as a superior. Take the situation openly in your own hands and rule it. Be the master. At 21 the woman should hold the man in her hands and bend him to her will. At 23 she should change her tactics.

Lead the man gently on to do the wooing. Be submissive, apparently, but every now and then throw an obstacle in his path, an occasional thorn among the roses, just to swell his ardor. Let him think he has to work to get you. At 24, if a girl is wise she will make the course of true love as smooth as possible. At the same time she will flirt so as not to appear to actually woo the man she wants to win.

She will not permit even a hillock to be raised in his path. This is what is called meeting him half way. At 27 she must meet him more than half way. She must be bold, yet not too bold. She must plot and plan, but the object of her maneuvers must never have a suspicion of them.

That would destroy all. She must be a hunter and run her prey down like a hare, softly, subtly, delicately, cleverly. The Age Of Sweet Simplicity. At 31 a new method begins! Discard all the old ones. Cultivate tenderness, solicitude, amiability.

Be motherly to the man you want to win. Shower him with attentions. Find out his favorite dishes and serve them to htm. Study his wants in every direction. Increase this attention as you grow older, but never for a moment let a man suspect that your attentions have designs back of them.

My first real conquest was Edward Wake-man, of Danbury, Conn. Most girls nowadays refer to their beaux, men who flirt and darce with them, as conquests. But for me a man must have actually lea me to the altar before I consider him. conquered. With No.

1 I was absolutely natural. I did not know enough to use artifice. I looked up and caught young Wakeinan's eyes upon -me, and then I smiled quite openly, because I liked him to look at me. My charm at 14 was that I knew nothing. Innocence at that age is a girl's strongest card.

One of the first things I remember Edward Wakeman saying to me was "I love to watch your face, because you show everything in it. I know just what you think." Our courtship took just two weeks. He had a position in a hat store. It seemed to us that his wages represented a fortune, and on them we eloped. I was Mr.

Wake-man's wife two weeks, and then our marriage was annulled on the ground that we were neither of us, old enough to know our own minds. Between the years of 14 and IS it seemed to me I learned a fund of wisdom about men and their ways, so that when my second conquest came along, Henry Zaunders, I was ready with quite a new set of manners. I was no longer just simple and shy. I still blushed and said many foolish things, but I saw that Mr. Zaunders liked me to confide in him, and so I pretended t.

tell him everything. That's what nun like in girls of IS. They want to feel that they have had a hand iu the girl's education. They want to advise her and form her Into the being they would like her to be. That is the reason why I advise all girls of 18 to cultivate a gentle little confiding manner.

My second husband, Henry Zaunders. was a rich man, a capitalist, who could surround me with every luxury. I was truly happy with him up to the very moment that he was taken from me. He Is the only one. over whose death I may say I shed many tears.

Two husbands will set any woman to thinking, and I was no exception. When I was 21 1 had picked out my third. He was a railroad man named Joseph Powers. He was a big. stalwart man, but 1 had acquired my poise and 1 was not in the least timid.

I bad picked him out, but I hud not won him. At first he scarcely looked nt me. I found that my former methods, the methods of 14 and IS, were no good at 21. Something quite different was required. What? When She Is I soon found out that the way for a woman of 21 to captivate is to be proud and haughty, to domlunte and lead, to think well of herself In order to make the man think well of her.

In other words, that is the age when a woman Is apt to be taken at her own valuation. At 21 a woman should decide if she wishes to be admired for her wit. her beauty or her goodness. She should not pretend to be too Innocent. She should have a knowledge of the world and give evidence of not being the kind of girl who can he Imposed upon.

A man likes to say of a girl of 21 "You bet she can take care of herself." It Is a guarantee that she will be able to tako care of him. Well, by these methods I flually won Joseph Powers. I asserted myself on every point and I dominated the situation so that In due course he made me his wife. His untimely death In a railway accident put an end to experiment No. 3, and I was once more a widow.

Before my twenty-third yenr had passed I wns in it, again, In love deeply and. I believe, sincerely. This time he was a grocer of Jersey City. His name was John Godfrey, and he seemed to me everything tbat was deslruble to make a good husband. The only thing I feared was that 1 might not attract htm.

For a time I was in doubt as to just what my line of conduct should be. I was 23. but still very young looking, alim and girlish, with coal-black hnir and gray eyes. Should I meet him half way? I looked in the glass and decided no. I was still young enough to be wooed and not too easily either.

I decided to soften my manner, to be little more gentle, little more yielding, a little less self-assertive and to scatter a few obstacles, only a few very easy ones etc. The commandments of the church, such 1 as fasting, hearing mass on Sundays and feast days, are much the same as those set forth in the Catholic catechism. But the Russians deny the supremacy of the Pope and the procession of the Holy Ghost from the Son as well as. from the Father. Further, they hold that marriage may be dissolved on account of adultery, and maintain that baptism by sprinkling Is invalid: On this point they differ from the Greeks.

On purgatory their doctrine is less sharply defined than that of the Catholics, but they hold all which Catholics hold as of faith. Influence Of Education. Such Is the formal teaching of the "Russo-Greek Church." But in the latter half of the last century education has made great strides, and Western, but especially German, theology has exercised a marked Influence on the 'more educated members of the clergy. Prelates in high places have' snown their leanings to Protestant views, and this tendency has appeared in books printed with the approval of the Holy Synod. There is, in fact, a constant disposition to soften the points of difference between Russians and Protestants and to accentuate those which separate Russians from Catholics.

The discipline of the "Russian Church" has undergone many changes. In the Middle Ages the Metropolitan of Russia was nominated by the Patriarch of Constantinople. Once consecrated, the Metropolitan bad immense power, even in secular matters it was seldom, even in the fifteenth century, that the Duke dared to resist him, and the Archbishops, Bishops and other ecclesiastics were placed in the strictest subjection to him. At the end of the Middle Ages the power of the Crown was consolidated, that of the nobles and clergy declined and the Czars began to act more and more as the heads of the church. Ivan IV (1533-84) deposed and even murdered bishops, confiscated church property and forced the prelates to confirm his fourth marriage, which was against the Greek vcanon law, and to endure without protest his frequent divorces, his fifth, sixth and even seventh marriage.

In 1589 Jeremias II, Patriarch of Constantinople, consecrated Job, the Patriarch of Moscow, Patriarch of all the Russians. The Metropolitan gained nothing by the change of title, but it suited the policy of the Czar to make the church national and independent. The strife of the Patriarch Nixon with Czar Alexis Michaelovitz ended with the deposition of the former at a council of Moscow in 16G7, and early in the following century the subjection of the ecclesiastical to the Imperial power was completed. For Peter the Great left the Pa-triarchial See vacant for 20 years and then, in 1721, with consent of the Eastern Pa triarchs, placed the whole government of the Russian Church in the hands of the "Holy Synod," with its dependence entirely on the Czar. This synod consisted of 12 members, though the number has varied at different times.

The members are nomi nated by the Czar, who may remove them at will. The synod in 1881 was made up of the Metropolitans, the Emperor's confessor and the grand chaplains of the army and fleet. The last two are seculai priests. To these is attached a chief procurator as ren resentative of the Czar and other lay officials. This procurator, who In 1776 was a brigadier, may put his veto on any measure until It has been laid before the sovereign Further, each member on entering office swears that he recognizes the Czar "as supreme judge in this spiritual assembly." Possesses Enormous Power.

But while this synod Is entirely subject to the Crown, the centralizing system of tne Russian Government gives it enormous power in the church. It proposes suitable candidates for vacant sees to tne Czar; It translates and deposes bishops; it can, with the Czar's approval, make new laws for the church; it gives dispensations; it watches over doctrine and ritual; sees to the printing of the liturgical books; receives appeals from the bishops; It decides upon the sums of money to be given for the building of churches and monasteries fend superintends the payment of the clergy. Since 1809 the bishops must transmit to the synod all moneys made In their dioceses by sale of candles, use of church es, sale of bridal crowns, collections in churches, etc. Bishops cannot leave their dioceses onany account without permission of the synod, and they must make a complete visitation at least every three years. There are three prelates of the first class, 17 bishops of the second class, 30 of the third and 9 vicars.

Since 1858 a Russian bishop resides at Jerusalem. The "white" or secular clergy must all be married, and are mostly sons of priests. Their education begins at the parish school and ends at one of the four ecclesiastical universities. Three or four years are spent at each institution. Bishops are all unmarried and are chosen from the monks.

Russia in 183S had 225 monasteries and 100 nunneries supported by the state, besides 161 monasteries and 13 nunneries maintained by themselves or by the people. Only seven religious houses are exempt from episcopal rule and subject immediately to the synod. It will be thus seen that while there are many Roman Catholics In Poland and other dependencies of Russia the vast bulk of the. population are followers and worshipers of the Russo-Greek faith, and that as a denomination or sect it comprises one of the very largestnid most powerful in the fold of Christianity, as it is also one of the oldest established in existence. The guidance and control of the system are practically invested in one man, a layman, but who is at the same time a sovereign who would be naturally and wisely concerned in the moral conduct and salvation of his people.

Russia is, therefore, neither the barbaric nor heathen nation that so many persons believe her to be, and that she is fully conscious of the efficacy of the Divine help is constantly revealed in the appalling and gigantic struggle in which she is now engaged In the Orient.

GEORGE the United States Court at Buffalo and died a rich man, the contest over his will having only lately been closed. Sons Of Lincoln And Grant. President Lincoln's surviving son, Rob ert Todd Lincoln "Tod," his father's idol in Civil War days, died when only a boy has won higher honors than fall to the lot of many men in the law, in the public service and in business. His mother wanted him to go to West Point, win distinction as a general and then be President, like his father. The young man didn't like this program; neither did his father, and though, at Mrs.

Lincoln's request, he served for a time on General Grant's staff as captain, he finally carried his point and went to Harvard, where he studied law. He was 22 when his father was shot and soon afterward went to Chicago, where he speedily built up a practice in chancery and other cases involving careful search and profound knowledge of land titles. The destruction of a large proportion of the real estate records of the city in the big fire made such a practice very valuable, and he had an exceptionally good income for years be fore he was made Secretary of War by President Garfield in 1SS1. He returned to the practice of law when Cleveland as sumed the Presidential chair, but in 18S9 was made Minister to England by Presi dent Harrison. After his return to Amer ica he became identified with the Pullman Palace Car Company; on Mr.

Pullman's death he was made president of the cor poration, and now, at CI, Is a great captain of industry. Of President Grant's sons, the eldest, Gen. Frederick Dent Grant, is now in command of the Department of the East, at Governor's Island. Ulysses S. Grant spends some of his time near Purdy Station, N.

where he has a farm and where, he says, be would rather "sit on the fence and whit- FREDERICK D. GRANT tie in the sunshine than be the Emperor of the. whole earth." He spends much time, too, in California and Jesse R. Grant, the third brother, also lives in the Golden State. Like Ulysses he has never made a prominent place for himself.

But both have always been solid, reliable citizens, a credit alike to themselves and their countrymen. The present tieneral Grant was educated at West Point, was an assistant engineer in the survey of the first Pacific railroad, was sent ns United States Minister to Austria by President Harrison, and served as Police Commissioner of the city of New York with Theodore Roosevelt. Benjamin Harrison made him Minister to Austria and Cleveland offered to continue him in the place, but he declined. When the war with Spain broke out he volunteered his services, and was at once made colonel of the Fourteenth Regiment, equipped it In record time and started for the front a few days later. That he didn't get there wasn't his fault.

Later be went to the Philippines, and is now undoubtedly confirmed in the military career. The sons of President Hayes are all engaged in the law business.

Sons Of Martyred President. Two of Garfield's sons have made good, and there is time for the other two to forge to the front. Henry Auram Garfield, the eldest, is now professor of politics at Princeton, where he succeeded John H. Findley, the first incumbent. Although It is an "honorable thing to be professor of politics at a great university, his acceptance of the chair was a surprise to many of his friends and for he had many oDnortunities to enter public life and had made both reputation and wealth at the practice of his profession the law and as a banker, being president of a big trust company and connected with several other financial institutions in Cleveland.

In 1002 he was offered a place as National Civil Service Commissioner by President Roosevelt, but declined it the post was then given to his brother, James Ru-idolph who still holds it. This young man he is still under 40 seema to have inherited the political tendencies of his father. He has been a Senator in the Ohio Legislature and was the author of a particularly stringent election law, which possibly was tne cause of his defeat when I he sougnt tne nomination ior congress from his father's old district. He still cherishes the ambition to serve the district in the House as his father did before him. He is now Commissioner of Corporations in the Department of Labor and Commerce.

Irvin McDowell Garfield, the third son, is a lawyer in Boston. Abram, the fourth son, "the baby of the White House," when his father was President, is of the scientific and practical turn of mind. He was educated at the Boston School of Technology, and may be heard from by and by. Practically all of the Presidents sons who have grown to man's estate, then, have been good citizens their lives have been clean, wholesome and a credit alike to their parentage and their country, while 10 of the 20 have won unusual distinction. Sons Of Congressmen, It would be hard to find any other class of prominent Americans whose sons have done as well as those of the Presidents.

Certainly, no such proportion of the sons of eminent Senators and Representatives in Congress have won distinction. Simon Cameron's son, Don Cameron, succeeded his father as the political primate of Pennsylvania. Blaine's son, Walker, would have made a noteworthy place for himself, probably, if he had lived. Senator Hearst's son has won great prominence in the newspaper world, is a Congressman, and has had the distinction of being a candidate before the convention for the nomination of Presidential honors. The first Bayard to sit in the Senate from Delaware, James was succeeded 8 But, notwithstanding the fact that the political government of Russia has been so long and so manifestly in conflict with the examples and lessons of a humane, liberal ar.d lofty civilization, has been administered in a manner violative of the most inipres sive and exacting divine commands, yet it claims the possession of an essential, a sav- irg and a positive Christianity the religion of the state, and which is known and designated as the "Greek Church." While the history of that religious organization, given in detail, would cover too great a space to embody in a newspaper article, enough may be said here concerning it that will remove many prevalent errors and prove of much interest at this particular time, especially to those not thoroughly "booked up" on the subject.

According to the Russian legend, St. Andrew, one of the Apostles, first preached the gospel in Russia and planted a cross at Kiev; but the truth is, Christianity came to Russia in the latter part of the ninth century from Constantinople to be more precise, in 867, when Ignatius was the legitimate and lawful Patriarch of that city; so that the first Russian Christians were undoubtedly Catholics, united to Rome. Even to this day the Russians in their liturgical books, written in old Slavonic, assert the primacy -of the Roman See. The schism which brought about the creation of the "Greek Church" as an independent body had its origin when Ignatius was Patriarch of Constantinople, 846 or 817, during the reign of Theodora. When her son, Michael HI, began to reign he fell entirely under the influence of his uncle Bardus, a profligate of the most abandoned character, who lived in sin with his own stepdaughter.

On the feast of the" Epiphany in 857 Ignatius refused to give Bardus communion, and further offended him by declining to clothe Theodora and her daughter against their will with the religious habit. Accordingly, Ignatius was banished and in 858 Photius was consecrated Patriarch in his place. Photius was the most, learned man of his time, but he was ambitious and unscrupulous, and his consecration was utterly uncanonical. For, first, Ignatius, a pious and virtuous man, was the lawful Patriarch next, Photius, who was a layman at the time of his election, was promoted to the episcopate within six days, and lastly, he was consecrated by a bishop who was himself under sentence of deposition. The Pope's Attitude.

This violent change in the government of the church caused discontent among the clergy and the people, and in order to quiet them the Emperor Michael sent ambassadors with costly presents to Pope Nicholas expecting to thus secure his approbation. In spite of false statements made by the ambassadors, the Pope refused to decide until he had Investigated the matter, and for this purpose dispatched two legates to Constantinople. Those 'eg-ates, yielding to bribery or to threats, confirmed the deposition of Ignatius on the ground that he had been elected through undue influence of Theodora, and acknowledged the jurisdiction of rhotius. This took place in a synod at Constantinople, held in SG3, but the Pope remained inflexible. He sent word to the Eastern bishops that he condemned both the deposition of Ignatius and the usurpation of Photius, and in the same year he deposed the latter from the office into which ho had intruded.

Three years later Bardus was murdered by the army, but the schism which be had originated still continued and fresh causes of quarrel arose. In S67 Photius became more embittered than ever; convoked a' council in the imperial city and delivered sentence of deposition and excommunication against the Pope and accused the Latin Church of heresy for adding the words "filioque" to the Nicene Creed, and attacked the usages and discipline of the Latins, particularly their practice of fast- ing on Saturday, their use of milk and cheese on fasting days and the enforced celibacy of the clergy. Scarcely had rhotius issued his pretended deposition of the Cope when he himself was removed from office by the new Emperor Basil, who had murdered Michael, and IgnaTus was reinstated. The new Pope, Hadrian II; worked zealously for the restoration of peace, and at the eighth Council of Constantinople, in 8G9, the excommunication of rhotius was recognized and the Greeks and Latins again became united. The Emperor died in SS0, and his successor, Leo VI, the "Philosopher," banished Photius, who died in 891.

The schism was healed after a fashion, but the ashes of the old dissensions were still smoldering and it only needed a new Photius to kindle them into flame. This new Photius was found In Michael Cerularius, also Patriarch of Constantinople, who, in 1053, under Pope Leo IX, wrote to the Bishop of Tranl in Apulia, reproaching the Latins with their use of unleavened bread in the mass, their habit of eating flesh with the blood, their custom of omitting the Alleluia during Lent, etc. No Terms Of Pence. The Pope wrote a reply which made a good impression on the Emperor, but the patriarch would listen to no terms of peace, and since then' the Greeks have as a body been severed from Catholic communion, although the separation of the Russo-Greek Church from Rome was not affected till the twelfth century. To bring about a union of the Roman Catholics and the Russo-Greek Church numerous efforts have been made under nearly every Pope since the great schism first took root and its importance and influence in religious practice and government became apparent.

Such attempts, however, in every case proved fruitless, and the separation continues to be as definite and distinct as at any period since Its origin. The great symbolical book of the Russian Church is entitled "Exposition of the Faith of the Russians," drawn up by Mozila, Metropolitan of Kiev, and bis suffragans between 1G30 and 1640. At the desire of the Patriarch of Constantinople It was examined by a commission of delegates, and was approved by them also it had the approval of the four Eastern Patriarchs and, again, of the Synod of Jerusalem, in 1672. This exposition, or confession, shows that, except on a very few points, the Russians believe as the Catholic Church believes. This confession teaches the necessity of good CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS knowledge has been made a member of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, eminent physician and novelist, belongs to both classes. His father was a famous physician in his day and the son was divided for a time between medicine and literature. Finally he determined to work for success with 'an eye single to literature, and, curiously enough, it was Oliver Wendell Holmes, the poet-physl-clan, who induced the young man to do so.

"You cannot win success in both," said Holmes to him one day when breakfasting at the Mitchell home in Philadelphia, apparently forgetting his own case. "Win in one or the other first, medicine preferred. After you have won, take to literature and win in that." Weir Mitchell took the poet's advice, made himself one of the world's greatest nerve specialists, and then at 50 set out to win at literature. To mention the sons of American military and naval heroes who have made good, and tell how they have done it, would fill pages of newspaper space. Gen.

Fitzhugh Lee, the son of Commodore Sydney Smith Lee Lieut. J. L. Worden, son of Admiral Warden Lieutenant Cusliing, son of the Cushing who distinguished himself in the Civil War, are among them, and the army and navy registers are brimful of such names as Rowan, Perry, Winslow and Crownlnshield that recall the deeds of fathers and forefathers which shine with imperishable light on the pages of our national history. Strennous Boyhood Days.

It is worth noting that many of the successful sons of great Americans have had In their youth the equivalent of the training that comes to the young man without money or influence who sets out to win. When, as told above, the lad Fred Grant, was with his father before Vicksburg he endured hunger, thirst and all the discomforts that come to the men in the ranks. Though forbidden, on one occasion, to leave the comparative safety of a gunboat on the Mississippi River near the Grand Gulf, he slipped ashore on pretense of chasing a rabbit, followed the sound of the guns and watched the battle, well within range of the Confederate shot and shell, dodging behind' a tree that his father should not see him, when the General rode up. George Gould never went out and got a Job as Cornelius the second had to, but he was made his father's assistant when only 17 or 18, and had to work harder than any clerk. He learned telegraphy then and sat at his desk in his shirt sleeves, a habit which he has never given up.

Young Rockefeller had to work, too, going Into his father's office as soon as he was out of college, and plugging away for dear life hours and hours every day. Young Morgan had to do likewise, and, 'of course, the sons of naval and military heroes who have followed in their father's footsteps have had to stand upon the same footing, both at Annapolis and West Point, as the sons of the most obscure citizen in the land.

There are some who would object to the admission of John VanBuren's name among the list of Presidents sons who have made good, and It Is not so many years since his career was the subject of frequent newspaper discussion. It is true that he was a bon vivant and something of a man about town. Also, he was somewhat swept off his feet by the adulation he received as his father's son. long being known derisively as Prince John. But later he entered upon a serious political career, and.

being a highly effective speaker, soon made himself a power in New York. Had he not been suddenly cut off while at sea he would surely have made himself felt in national affairs. John Scott Harrison served two terms in Congress, but the one circumstance that made his name best known to the country at large occurred after ms aeatn. soon after his burial his son, Benjamin Harrison, later to be President of the United States, went to Cincinnati to search the premises of a medical college there for the body ot a neighbor that had been stolen from a cemetery at North Bend. At Mr.

Harrison's demand the janitor showed the cadavers awaiting dissection. The first one raised from the well was the corpse of his father, John Scott Harrison, his naked body and snow-white hair bedraggled with blood. These Two Were Confederates.

When the Civil War broke out 'he went South, became Register of the Treasury at Rich-mand and went down with the Confederacy. He lived until 1877, but was never able to recover his place In the world. His brother, Major John Tyler, had a variegated career as soldier, politician and writer, but he was not such a public figure as Robert. Richard Taylor, "Dick," as he was known to the country over during and iong after his father's Presidential service, was a true chip of the old block. He was born in New Orleans, educated iu Scotland and France, and passed through the Mexican war with his father, who was then idolized as a daring general officer.

At Palo Alto and Resaca the youngster attained to something like fame because of. his own dashing gallantry. After winning considerable prominence in civil life he went into the Confederate service at the breaking out of the Civil War as colonel. He fought In the early Virginia campaigns, was then appointed major-general of the Trans-Mississippi, and in 1SG4 was made lieutenant-general. It was too late then to do much, though more than one Northern General officer had reason to remember hto Like Robert Tyler.

"Dick" Taylor was" not able to rejuvenate himself after the close of the war. President Pierce's only son was killed when a lad in a railroad nccident.

When Jay Gould died it was the general opinion that George would be able to conserve the family fortunes, but no one expected he would be able to do more. In fact, it has often been said that Jay Gould hfmself expected no more. Yet George Gould is one of the great, strong forces in the railway world today, and his dominance in the field he has chosen for his own is admired by the strongest of his fellow-railway rulers, grudgingly, perhaps, but none th.e less sincerely.
