Maxim Gorky is back in Russia after eight years exile, perhaps to die of consumption before another summer, his physicians say. Officially the Russian writer is still at Capri, where he has lived since banishment, while bodily he is at Mas tamjaki, Finland, whence he 'may later proceed to Moscow. His return is gen erally a secret in Russia, the govern ment desiring to take every precaution against irritating demonstrations by his admirers. Last year Gorky was included in the comprehensive amnesty conceded by Emepror Nicholas and could then have returned to his native land with out opposition but he asserted then that he had no intention of taking ad vantage of the privilege. His failing health and longing to see his country, however, led him to change his mind and he has just completed the trip to Mastamjaki by easy stages. Gorky's friends declare that he con tracted his disease during confinement in the prison fortress of St. ePter and St. Paul, but it is believed his consti tution must have been weakened by the many years which he spent in ac tual want, his feverish energy in writ mg and the. increasing labor of deep study to overcome his lack of culture There has lately appeared an odd chronology submitted by Gorky to an editor who had asked for an autobio graphy. Gorky replied as follows: 1862 Born at Nischni-Nowgarod. 1878 Shoemakers boy. 1879 Apprentice to a designer. 1880 Cabin boy on a steamer. 1883 Worker in a manufactory of biscuits. 1884 Porter. 1885 Baker's boy. 1886 Dummy in a village theatre. 1887 Fruit seller. ' 1889 Railway employe. 1S90 Clerk to an advocate. 1891 Operative in a salt mill; later vagabond. 1892 Wrote the first novel Makar Cindra. 1903 Celebritv and riches.

The reply is published in the official Ma rine Dundechau and is spread over 11,000 words. It contains the report of the visit made to Admiral Dewey on July 10, 1898, by the then flag lieutenant von Hintze, now German minister to Mexico. It is evident from this report that Admiral Dewey threatened the Ger mans with war if they did not cease their interference with the blockade regulations and if they refused to permit the Americans to make the inquiries necessary to establish the identity of neutral warships. Von Diederichs says: "Admiral Dewey gradually talked himself into a passion. "He said: 'Why, I shall stop every vessel, whatever may be her colors. And if she does not stop I shall fire at her. And that means war, do you know, sir?' Then the phrase, 'If Ger many wants war,' etc, occurred again, I took my leave. "I was under the impression that this in itself trivial incident put a match to a mai3s of explosives wrhich had long been acumulating in Admi ral's Dewey's mind from suspicion, rumor and newspaper reports.

Dante, in Italy is almost a national god, and so far is his adoration carried that when Sir Henry Irving gave his drama which had Dante as its hero, the Italians rose as one man to protest against the destruction of their idol. In the historic house and tower which the Count Anguillara built in the 12th century as a mansion and fortress, and which was frequented by Dante, Senator Pasquale Villari, who is famous as a student of the great poet's life and works, has begun a se ries of lectures on the "Father of the Italian Language."

"The general council of the Episcopal Church last October decided that pensions should be provided," eaid Mr. Sayre. "We have a system that is absolutely scientific. Our charter provides that the fund shall be 'sub ject to and under the inspection of the superintendent of insurance.
