A RUSSIAN PEOPLE’S | PALACE. |

‘linen Poorest Man in the Empire to be. : a Welcome Guest.

Almost beneath the shadow of the slender minaret of the Cathedral of | St. Peter and St. Paul, St. Peters- | burg, a building is in course of erec- | tion which typifies the New Russia. | ‘It is barely separated from the, w “ oe |citadel by a narrow canal, and is|

The palace of the people is to be | opened December 6th, (old style, Or | six days before Christmas, accord- | ing to the Gregorian calendar. It | is to be accessible to every lvan Ivanjovitch in Russia who may want to enjoy a warm room, a pot of tea, a concert, a lecture, play or opera, or who may wish to meet a friend. It is the work of the St. Petersburg committee of temperance, of which His Royal Highness the Prince of Oldenburg is chairman. This cem- mittee is, as the vice-chairman, the conseil prive, M. lvan Nicolaievich, obligingly explained,a governmental body. It was ordered by the excise branch of the ministry of finance, and is operating under the direction ot this ministry. Its objects are to inculcate and encourage the prac- tice of moderation in the use ef alcoholics. It haschosen te accom- plish this by offering the people something better than the saloon.

The People’s Palace is the latest attempt to solve this problem. It is the result of nearly three years | experience, the committee of tem- perance having begun its work at the same time that the state) monopoly of alcoholics was intro-| duced. The great steel fine arts| palace of the exposition of Nijni-| Novgorod was purchased and trans- | ported to St. Petersburg. The iron skeleton was clothed with stone and brick. Two wings in stone were added, and the workman are now engaged upon the interior finish The cost will approach half a mil- lion dollars.

This is only one of the numerous undertakings of the committee. The neighboring island of Petrovsky has | been turned into an amusement | park. Summer afternoons, ¢és- pecially on holidays and Sundays, immense crowds gather to witness and participate in the races and to

The Young Men’s Literary As-| sociation in connection with St. James Church gave its opening con- |

(St James’ Hall last evening. The niusic was under | the direction of Mr _ LEarie,|

who presided at the pianc in his own inimitable way. He was assisted in the overture—a piano duet, ‘The!

Poet and the Peasant,’’ and in a/| duet subsequently given, by Miss| Lyon, of Brighton Road. Miss Lyon | also played a piano ‘solo, Cachon-

Mr. Vinnicombe| gave a violin solo and received the | applause which he always deserves. | But the piece de resistance, was’ that of Mr. Barlow who has his instrument always with him. A| beautifully sweet-toned instrument | itis, and Mr. Barlow is a perfect master of it. His sympathetic and’ perfect rendition of several of the! more familiar airs of Old Scotland | fairly captivated the audience, and_| he had to respond to an encore. | As for tae vocal music ‘it was given. by our old favOrites, the Misses Earle and Mr. Charles Earle, Miss Ethel Stewart, Miss Cotton and Mr} Charles Hermans, and was of high order. The reading, too were good | —those of Mr. Fullerton being full of|the dry Scotch humor that spark- les throughout the works of Barrie and lan McLaren, and that ot Miss | Rattray being a stirring account of | an exciting horse race. By the way, | we must particularly congratulate | Miss Rattray upon the great im-| provement manifest in the style of | her elocution—the result of sedu-| lous study and practice, we feel! sure.
