STRONG LEADER 0f DOUKHOBORS Peter Vsregln Practically 1 Dcspof Ill Although a Benevolent Ons to Hll Strange Followers Out of a lengthy official report emerges the figure of an empire build ei' in a small way-Peter Veregln, leader of the Russian Doukhobors in British Columbia. 'She report was made to the llritlsli Columbian Govern- ent by Willluin Blakemore, who was appointed to lnfiuirc into the dcslru- bility cf the Doukhobors as colonists. It has many interesting things to any of them, but its striking feature is the picture it sketches of their lender. Back in Russia in the time of their persecution they were led by a wo- man, Lukcrya Viisylyvna Kalinykuva. On her death Veregin succeeded to the office, The sect split, Vercgln’s enemies had him exiled to Slberlu, and slelghs travelled 2,000 miles over the snow to maintain coinuiunicuiiuii between him and his people. After the Doukhobnrs wcro enabled to mi~ grate to Cunndii things went badly. Therefore the Russian Gogerunicnl was induced to liberate Vercgiu, and he became 'the actual ruler of the Doukhobors. ' He is dcscribcd ns ii benevolent despot, absolutely devoted to the ln- teresls"oi’ the Doukhobors, at all times plotting, planning and scheming to advance their cause, not enriching himself, ruling with a rotl of iron, exacting implicit obedience and excr- cislng rigid discipline. He is a big man in every seiis: of the word; the lilstory and traditioiis of his people, his own suferlngs, his contact with great men have been his education. He inherits the characteristics of his race, among which are strong reasoning capacity, diplomatic skill and subtlety. The greatest evidence of his ability is the manner in whlcli he has for years been able to hold together his people in an environment entirely allen to their ideas, their cherished beliefs and their ambitions. ln the freest country in the world, where individual feel- ing is the keynote, says Mr. Blake- more. he still holds six-sevcntlis of the original settlement' in the thrall of community life, with individuality extinguished except for his own per- sonal coiilrol. He is in fact ii theo- oratic czar; he possesses not only thc genius but the capacity for governing. His personality is both attractive and impressive. Ile is tall, brond, muscular, massive, with a fine head. great natural dignity cf carriage and the atmosphere of strength. Yet, like many such men, he has u roniarkubly gentle manner. His people ylolrl him the utmost deference and obedience, due, pcrllupll. not altogether to his great .personal endowments and magnetism. but pilrill’ to their religious belief, which invests him with almost supernatural attri- butes. The ilual conclusion of the l`6D0l°l is that the real problem is not the Doukhobors. but Peter Veregln, "for through it nll the figure of Peter Vere- gin looms majestic and all powerful. As for the Doukhcbors themselves, the report spoke favorably of what they have accomplished. The chief 365-7-21llll3ithenE3i;_ ro`n`sTiisY-7'i'wo oiioios siuvsn male foxes, one pair patched.

After the restoration of 1900 all pictures of the Louvre have been in- viiriably retouched by an official re- storer on the premises. On the Wed- nesday preceding the Monday on which lille Picture was last seen in its place, this official restorer, accom- Dullied by a well known American art- lflf. who is also an expert restorer, visited the Louvre and paused before Loonardo's famous picture. The American had been brought therefor the purpose of giving advice as to thc way of repairing the picture, which for over n year had been gru- dually going from bad to worse, Ac- cording to what this American has since tnld me, this is what he tlioughti- "I was convinced that absolutely nothing could be done and advised him not to attempt the work. It seemed as though the least jar would complete the ruin, This restorer was under the orders of M. Georges Bene- dlte, who had insisted that something must he done before the return of M., Homolle from tbe.Vosges_ "We discussed various schemes for restoring painted panels, and he cer- tainly left me with the idea`that he would undertake 'the task." From the foregoing it was pretty safe to conclude that restoring was attempted and failed, and the thief story was invented to shield the truth. ' ._-_-___-ii- CANADA IMPORTS OF API’L|3lS IN ‘ 1912.

It began when Senator llristow, ignoring the defeat of his resolution, directed at Mr. Bryan’s action, insisted upon be- ing heard in severe criticism of tlie cabinet officer. Before the debate ended, charges and counter-charges between Sena- tors on the two sides of the chamber had brought the Senate to a high pitch -of excitement. Senator Ash- urst produced an old letter of Sena- tor Brlstow's, which he declared in- dicated that Mr. Bristow in 1906 had been perfectly willing to take a fed- eral position and devote only part of his time to it. ' Senator Bristow retorted with the charge that Senator Ashurst bad spent over one hundred dollars of public funds, sending private tele- grams that should have been paid for from his own pocket, a charge denied by Senator Ashurst, but which Sena- tor Bristow agreed to Drove by pro- ducing the original that had been paid for out of Senate funds. From these personal accusations the debate went into the general field of public lecturing and writing, and democratic Senators called attention to the Chautannua platform work of Senator Bristow, and manv others, and to the newspaper writings of Senator Bristow. ceooocososfococssoeo HOTEL ARRIVAL-S ‘soon -cues The following registered at the Vic- toria Hotel, Charlottetown, Satur- day:-I..

Late this afternoon a meeting of the officers and trustees was beld, alter which a statement was issued, saying that "the officers and trustees of the New Haven Savings Bank de- sire to state without any qualifica- tion that said bank was able to pay very one of its depositors in full, and that there is no occasion for thc* slightest alarm." Just before the usual closing hour, the streets in front of the bank were jammed with people. Benjamin Slade, a local lawyer, made what he said was a voluntary statement to the crowd, to the effect that be was convinced that the bank was sound. He said he was one'0f the largest dc- positors, and that during the day he had offered to make a deposit of fifty thousand dollars, but the offer was refused by the bank officials, saying that they had ample funds on hand. His remarks apparently had con- siderable effect, for the crowd, most of whom were foreigners, soon dis- persed.

It is remarkable that I people deprived of education during 500 years of Moslem oppression and robbed of any knowledge of their ancient written language should pre- serve ln the form of extraordinarily b_eautiful verse and folk lore the do- tails of every important incident in their history. "Goethe, the famous German poet, mastered the Servlan language for the. sole purpose of studying the wealth of Serb poetry, which ls handed down, from generation to generation. The University of Vienna has translated several hundred thousand lines of this poetry, and it is studied to-day with amazement by scholars and litters.- tours. “ln Servia and Montenegro alike many blind, lame or crippled mlnstrels eke out' a comfortable existence in 'traveling from tow. town with the ancient one-stringed `° fe and sing- ing to the peasants the deeds of their fathers and the ancient glory of Ser- v,la. From the fourteenth century to the present day every national hero has been immortalized tn verse by humble eplc anonymous bards. The authorship of this wealth of epic poetry must forever remain unknown, but the verses themselves have been 'preserved, not in the books or upon paper, but in the memories of the people."
