Strangely girlish she seemed, almost as much so, indeed, as on that November day when she was wedded in the chapel of the winter palace at St. Petersburg.

Being visible to all through the glass panels of her coach, she was received with frantic outbursts of cheering from the pavements, the grand stands and the windows all along the route. She continually bowed the acknowledgment of her cordial reception. There was no doubt jtbout the warmth of the reception and the enthusiasm of the people, some of whom burst into tears, while others finng themselves on the ground anil beat their foreheads against the dust, while many more made the sign of the cross, ar.d loudly thanked Goel for having vouchsafed them a sight of the czar. All cheered their young monarch to the echo, even the soldiers, utterly oblivious of all discipline, wildly joining in. Equally interesting was a very fine force of some act Cossacks of the Guard, gloriously Uniformed in scarlet and gold, and wearing black conical caps with a scarlet center and mounted on weedv, Komari-nosed Ukraine nags, full of service.

Tiiis striking cavalry carried carbines with the butts r. sting on t'n. ir right thighs, and rode their norses a otilv a snathe bridle and with their gold and" black bandoliers.

Tn the meantime evervone was a aiting the oming of the czar. Along the line of the procession a gun now ar.d again boomed and the distant echoes, with the cheering and martial music almost deafened one with the sound. Those bells in the Kremlin lso did their duty, and were answered, as it seemed, by all the carillons of the 2.000 churches in the city. The a.r fairly rocked nd swung with musical and well-managed tintinnabulation, a rood part of wtrfctt done by the charming silver peal in the Kitai oorou church, that kept up a merry until the pageant had swept by. I he hundred beifrfe3 of the Kremlin would not be outdone, and amid this clangor the cannon told us the czar had entered his city, had traversed its triumphal arches and was dismounted to pray at the shrine of the Iberian virgin.

Across his dark green soldier's coat was worn the azure ribbon of the Standrew and two or three stars of gold and diamonds glittered on his breast. His handsome and manly-young countenance was pale with the prodigious sensation which such a scene and such enthusiastic cheering continued more or less along the entire route must have naturally excited- He holds his gloves in one hand, while the right hand was almost perpetually being raised to his regimental cap, and he bends his heal gently to this side and to that in acknowledging the boundless welcome given him by the people of Moscow.

Every man was bareheaded and every woman was waving a handkerchief or shawl or violently crossing her loyal bosom in prayer for the "little father."

At various points on the route to the Kremlin the imperial pair were met by deputations of tiie nobility, Xemstvo merchants and other bodies from Moscow, who presented them with bread and salt, symbols of Russian hospitality. When the emperor and his youthful conort entered the church of the Assumption they were met and greeted by all the metropolitans and archbishop's present in Moscow, and, after a short te ileum, they visited the two other cathedrals, th-o church of Annunciation and that of the Archangel.

Then, standing' on the red threshold before the entrance to tha palace, they greeted all the assembled guests and retired to their apartments. This evening, at o'clock, they started for the palace known as Neskootshnl, about an hour's drive from the Kremlin.

HENRY W. FISCHER. WII.SOX DESIICES AX IXQHRY. From a Correspon.ler.t. BEAVER.

May 21. Judge Henry Hire's selection of J. II. Harrah, J. E.

Holmes and David A. Nelson as a committee to investigate the charges concerning President-Judge P. Sharpe Wilson Is generally commended by citizens, who say that the three are men of nerve, who will not shirk their duty, but yet liable to err on the side of humanity. If error be committed. There Is no discounting the wide sweep of the discussion a roused by the current affair.

It has entered politics, of course, but it bills fair to divide the circles of the church. It was easy to eiiscover among the attorneys here the utmost indignation entertained toward some of tne Pittsburg Republican newspapers, which rallied promptly to Judge Wilson's support, without the slightest inquiry, purely on partisan grounds, ami sought to minimize the of the aspersions by circumscribing them as merely reflecting upon him individually, and as emanating from dis appointed candidates at last August's primaries. Talks with men of candor, whose reputation at this liar is above reproach, and of whom no petty malice would be completely the version printed in some party hlu-k organs. The accusations against Judge Wilson are not petty, for they do involve his judicial integrity, and hence it is monstrous to assume that disappointed am-bitiein would incite four men to vote for an Inquiry who were defeated candidates, and 21 others to follow their rankling hatred into a known baseless effort to smirch the character or a Judge. Errors Corrected.

"The Post" has already printed the account of the meeting of the lawyers Saturday, but some of the salient errors committed by other newspapers Involve a brief repetition of its procedure. The meeting was of the bar, and not of the A I II I TOR 1 1 M. bar association of Beav. there re a dozen aw.ei are not m-mbirs cf tii There was not one whif county, for present who association. of politics frc.m it to finish.

Th. vcstigite was L'S to 1, an! ote to in-party linc.s were not ilrawn in tne personnel of the aye and nay list. Not one word was uttered by any of tin- four alleged ,1 can. lid. u.s.

There were 2 speeches male, an.l while the alhrmative addresses proci t-lio on one line, the opposing speecln ftiilow-ttl the argume nt that such an in iga ion wou'd ruin Judge Wilson tiiianciallv and disgrace his family. t'Mle said two dis- bariii.nts had occurred, tit.l both victims had lutii driven to the gutter. The atltrmatlve argument was based absolutely on the high ground that Beaver county had had for years a bar noted for its learning and integrity, and that it was the buuiitit-n tluty of every attorney, proud cf his profession and true to uis obligation of his oath an otiicir of the court, to see that the rm ne was kept spotless. There was no bint of partisan hate or revenge. The whole leu ale of the charges w.ts at the Rt ib.

lean primaries. So care ful was J. It.irtah. that he id reduced his renia-ks to writing. Four lawyers in the whole country alone were absent, and their known desire was for the inquiry.

The story of the wordv encounter between Holt and Mania was grossly exaggerated, am! that of the fistic encounter between Postmaster Lewis S. Reed and Cooiu-r being referable to the Wilson matter was a direct falsehood. I lie Meeting; I phrld. Your correspondent talked with the leading numbers of the bar litre. ia every con vei sat i there was tile commendable spirit shown that corroborat.

el what was none by the bar meeting. Judge Hicc said not one of ihe committee of three had ctmelidate. Not one of them wanted to find that tiie charges niloat were grounded firmly enough to warrant further action. The duty of inquiry be regarded as forc-d upon the bar by the persistency of the rumors and the scries that bad definite shape, ith names, ami anion. ns.

But it was better for Judge Wilson's future that the accusations be investigated. ami branded as fc.lse, than that attempts be mad- to thwiirt in lit and have the judiciary's fair name smirched by umv-mittireg slander. The same generous hope was expressed by a half ilcz-n other prominent men ut the bar. No breath of vengeanct- was felt: iill was charity. It was the pillar of justice they sought to prevent toppling, and not the malicious degrndatio.i of man.

So fair was the majority of lawyers seen that they declined to rehearse the stories that make the gravamen of the Continued, on Second Pace. HOW THE 1XTEHIOK WILL A I PEA II.

Dillon, the correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph," writes to his paper as follows: TJECOIHTIOXS I "A difficult prcbh-m to tackle was the classification of the royalties, the envoys and other distinguished guests. ath of whom naturally wished to retain in Russia the high pi ice which bis own country ids position tniifles him to. A seven-tiroes-sex -n master of ceremonies and a seven-timcs-seven ar.gr-1 might seek in vuln to satisfy the demands of all these Illustrious person- ages who have merit e.l them so well in tin ir own tatherl.mil. Many otnei were told off to deal with this criti-al' question in Moscow, and it was no light nor enviable task. "Some results were arrived at despite all the care that were curious.

The Queen of tne Hellenes was naturally first, and the Khan of Khiva last. The second place was ocetipitrd by the PrinCe of Naples; the third by the Crown Prince of Denmark, and then came tiie Crown Prince of Sweden, while that strong friend of Russia, Prime Nicholas of Montenegro, was the twenty-sixth in line. Prince Ferdinand, the reeonciit was also a long way down, occupying the thirty-firth place. This order hid been sanctioned according to the rank of the guests and was definitely settled, and no change nor modification could be allowed. Royalties Xot Satisfied.

"But the knowledge that this classification is as immutable as the laws of the Medes and Persians does not always suf-lice to deter some people lrom endeavoring to alter it. at least for a l.ri. hour, as was evidenced by a curious incident which took pi. ice yesterday. It had been arranged that the Emir of Bokhara and the Khan of Khiva should be received by the czar and presented to the czarina, the former at 11:30 and the latter at 1 o'clock, the emir being -servedly much more persona grata with Russia than the khan.

Th latTer. however, determined to steal a march on his rival, and sailed into I't rovski palate long before the time appointed, he being under the impression that tirst come first served. He was met at the entrance by the master of ceremonies, and great was the shr wd oriental's chagrin and disappointment on being compelled to wa.it over an hour in ante -chamber, into which he was escorted, while his rival was having a pleasant time upstairs nibbling sweet meats and conversing with the great "white czar" and his gracious consort. "No feature of a pageant gives greater pleasure to the multitude, always excepting the Illuminations, than the dresses worn by the ladies. Emiuisite Taste In Dress.

The three required types of the dress are tiie Russian national costume, an ordinary fashionable high dress, and another cut dc-colette. On five occasions the national costume is obligatory; on three the high robes with long trains must be worn, and on eight occasions the low dresses, which give almost as great a "scope to nature as to art, are necessary, and they will frequently worn during the coining balls and other festivities.

IT Wr- fV i DIRECTOR BIGEI.OW TO ADVERTISE IX A FEW DAYS FOR 11IUS OX THE COXTRACT. A WIDE CHOICE OF PLANS. One Bridire to Be a. Stone Structure, the Other Xot Decided. XEW SAME FOR JIXCTIOX HOLLOW.

The work of lieautifyins Schenley park will soon commence in earnest. In two days Director Bigelow will advertise for bids for the building of the two bridges that will furnish ingress to the park from Forbes street. The lowest estimated cost of the two is fcXO.OOO, and the highest At present a ro.d stretches alongside the Carnegie library on solid ground, and the park is entered over a woxoJen bridge, starting in front of the Casino and crossing Junction hollow. The plans comemp'ate an entire in the location of the entrance. West of the library -and north and northwest of the Casino is a hollow which at sometime or other will contain a lake.

One of1 the bridges will span this hollow, which Director Bigelow has christened St. Pierre. At the west siele of St. Pierre hollow stand the Murdoch greenhouses and other buildings touching on Forbes street. These buildings will be takeE down.

ar.el an OiH-n square, circular in shape, will be formed, thus making a handsome approach to the bridge. The hollow is not nearly so wide as the Junction or Four-Mile run hollow, and consequently a stone bridge will not cost so much. Director Bigelov has decides! that this structure shall be stone. Bidders on the contract of building the bridges will figure on five- plans, three for a. bridge crossing Junction hoi-low and two for one- to span St.

Pierre hollow. After examining the bide the director will decide hich two of the five plans to select, and" the question of cheapness will enter materially into his consideration of the question. The elevations printed to-lay represent the bridge most Itkely to be selected for Junction hollow, and the one which will span the St. Pierre ravine. While, as stated, the director will not decide definitely on the former's structure until the bids are in.

he has almost made up his mind to select the one. published. The elevation represents a. steel structure to span Junction hollow. It will be a single span.

360 across, and with the two approaches the bridge wili be 2T0 feet long. This bridge is estiniat' ed to cxst Bidders, however, will also figure on a stone bridge, with two arches, to cost S50.W0. and the third plan on which bids will be asked contemplates a bridge cf stone and steel combined: estimated cost not given. The. bridge over St.

Pierre hollow will be a handsome, all stone structure of a single span, starting from the circular square on the west si.le of the hollow. The span will be 150 feet wide, with a rise of 36 feet, and the roadway will be about 75 feet above the bottom of the hollow. Junction hollow is much deeper than the other, and the roadway of that bridge will be 105 feet above the ground. The St. Pierre hollow bridge will end near the location of the present roadway along the library building and a little south of the main entrance to the library.

The bridge crossing Junction hollow will lie somewhat east of the present wooden structure, ending at the Bigelow monument. When the contracts for building the. FOl R-MILE RIX. bridges are awarded they will stipulate that the structures must be completed this year. Director Bigelow said yesterday that there- will be plenty cf time to erect them in that time, and he will insist that the contractors agree to turn them over to tne city by December 31.

The director is himself an engineer, and ought to know how much" time is required to build a bridge. The visible stone work on both bridges is to be of Beaver county sandstone. The cuts show that both will be handsome structures and ornaments to thi? grounds. Director Bigelow does net like the name. "Junction Hollow." He said that depression in the ground existed before the Junction railroad ever traversed it.

"Four-Mile Run Hollow" doesn't please him. either, only a scientific sharp being able to determine whether the hollow existed before the run. or th-- run the hollow. Hehaschristenedthe other hollow "St. Pierre," as St.

Pierre sirett cneui at the- edge, but he would now to have the people give Junction hollow a new name. The director is open to suggestions, which may be scat to his office by postal card. 'r v- "3( C.Vs Missionary Association Meetlnp. MT. PLEASANT.

Nothing you can say equals the splendor of to-day's imperial inter- into The pageant was perfection itself in the completeness of its arrange merits, and the absence of even he" slightest jar or inconvenience was pronounced throughout. The-emperor was the picture of manly although humbly dressed as he sat on a white Arab horse. The empress' loveliness beggars description. Both these majesties were l'ranticaliy cheered all along the line with a genuine snthusiasm which amounted to almost adulation on the part' of the foreigners, not mentioning the homage of the natives. Even at this hour, long after it is all over, one has hardly recovered from the feeling of surprise and admiration occasioned by the splendor of the event.

All the continental empires combined could not have furnished one-tenth part of the equipages which dazzled our eyes to-day. The queen's jubilee or the kaiser's pageants were mere child's play in comparison. Your correspondent's opportunities were unequaled at the junction of the triumphal arch and the Hotel Dresden, wherej the procession was separated from the public by a double row of soldiers and a bricfee path for the adjutants partitioned off by "wire rope. The police display was notably small and hardly equal to that at similar Berlin affairs. America was the only country not represented in the imperial mounted suites, The American representatives were entertained at a dinner to-night by General Davis.

The ambassadors of several foreign powers and many of the great ladies who were viewing the procession from the Grandukal palace were badly scared by a fire In a house nearby. There was almost a panic and a lively scramble to get and in a jiffy the balconies and windows were vacated. Li Hung Chang, the Chinese ambassador, was the first to get out and secure shelter elsewhere. The fire, which occurred just as the czar and his escort were passing, was quickly quenched, and everything passed off in the finest shape thereafter. The ladies, when they returned to their temporarily deserted seats, cheered frantically, but their male escorts, the ambassadors, seemed to he overcome with emotion of the grandeur of the scene.

Sunshine Revived Enthasiusm. The city having been suddenly flooded with brilliant sunlight about noon, it spurred the loyal citizens and riatriotic mechanics to rapidly transform the own from a bedraggled, dripping waste of ropelike decorations into new and glorious habiliments with great enthusiasm and shouts of rejoicing. It must have cost a mint of money to tear, down the myriad of rain-soaked and color-splotched hangings and substitute new ones, but it was all done in a few hours, and once again the ancient capital was swathed in the glorious raiment of jubilation. Here whole buildings and there immense blocks were wholly hid behind the tremulous, wind-thaken bunting, Russian tapestries and oriental carpets fastened to their places by gilded and silvered carved wooden devices. Brilliant, Indeed, and gorgeous bej'ond parallel was the view which met the eyes of their imperial majesties when they made the solemn entry into Moscow between rigid but living walls of superbly dressed troops of cavalry and infantry, whose gaudy uniforms.

Mazing breastplates and shining helmets formed merely a base line for the mountainous continuation of the same sheen and color on the rising housetops behind the troops. Hundreds of thousands of dull-looking and silent peasants in queer costumes looked on, many of whom had literally walked a thousand miles with a few kopecks in their pockets, and a stout staff, carrying a distended wallet filled with dun-colored bread, compressed cakes, tea leaves and fat. When the l'aseant Started. At 2 o'clock sharp CO guns boomed out the announcement that the procession had left Petrofsky palace, and a few moments later there came into view a vision of glittering and flashing bands of oriental magnates, representatives of all the peoples of Central Asia subject to the sway of the czar. Riding two by two was the vast geography of the Russian empire, illustrated by gorgeous garb and fantastic embellishments, such as ramotline in his greatest grandeur could never have mustered.

After these Asiatic princes and khans, emirs and aeas. there tiled fiercely a. bodv of Cossacks and Atamans from the Don, the Black Sea, the Caucasus, the Astrakhan, the- Orenburg, Ural Siberia, and the Transbaikal, garbed in all the various styles of their districts. On the heels Of these rode the proud and wealthy nobles of Moscow, preceded by their marshal. The glittering cavalcade of princess of the blood royal of the various mon-trchical families followed.

affording a picturesque chromatic effect, including the scarlet of England, the light blue' and silver of Bavaria, and almost every liner intervening suauc ami color eve black, forming a combination of absolutely unique. Then came the aeavy and gorgeous state coach, which oiled along the royal grandeur, sirst the dowager empress. Marie Teodorovna. in her gold chariot )y white horses.

The czar and czarina made their triumphant entry into this city this afternoon amid the thundering of batteries of artillery, the claneing of countless bells and the cheers of the vast multitude of loyal Russians and equally enthusiastic visitors from all parts of the world. Probably never in the history of nations has there been such an assemblage of people.

From 7 o'clock in the morning the route to be followed by the procession had been guarded by troops, infantry and cavalry, police on foot and on horseback, in uniform and in plain clothes, until the road may be said to have been lined by row after row, thickness after thickness of blood and iron.
