RASPUTIN Devil or Saint? • Copyright. 1917, Public Led Ker Company. All Kighta Rnerrrd.) BY THE PRINCESS RADZIWILL The American public is perhaps not generally aware of the character of cer tain religious sects in Russia, which is considered to be a country of orthodoxy, with the Tsar at its head, and where people think there is no room left for any other religion than the official one to develop itself. In reality, things are very different, and to this day. outside of the recognized nonconformists, who have their own bishops and priests, and whose faith is recognized and acknowl edged by the state, there are any number of sects, each more su oerstititlous and each more powerful then the other in regard to the Influence which they exercise over their adher ents. These, though not numerous by any means, yet are actuated by such fanaticism that they become apt at cer tain moments to become subjects of con siderable embarrassment to the author- Ities. Some are inspired by the convic tion that the only means to escape from the clutches of the devil consists in suicide or in the murder of other peo ple. THE TWO PRINCIPAL, "HERESIES." For instance, the Baby Killers, or nietooubltsy. as they are called, think it a duty to send to Heaven the souls of new-born Infants, which they destroy as soon as they see the light of the day. thinking thus to render themselves agreeable to the Almighty by snatching children away from the power of the | evil one. Another sect, which goes by . the name Stranglers, fully believes that : the doors of Heaven are only opened be- ; fore those who have died a violent death j and whenever a relative or friend is dan- I gerously ill they proced to smother him 1 under the weight of many pillows so as I to hasten the end. The Philipowtsy* preach salvation through suicide, and . the voluntary death of several people 1 in common is considered by them as a meritorious action. Sometimes whole ! villages decide to unite themselves in one immense holocaust and barricade themselves in a house, which is after ward set on Are. An incident that occurred during the reign of Alexander II is remembered to this day in Russia. A peasant called Khodkine persuaded twenty people to retire together with him into a grotto hidden in the vast forests of the gov ernment of Perm, where he compelled them to die of hunger. Two women having contrived to escape, the fanatics, fearing that they might be denounced, killed themselves with the first weapons which fell under their hand. It was their terror that they might And them selves compelled to renounce their sin ister design, and thus fall again into the clutches of that satan for fear of whom they had made up their minds to encounter an awful death. Even as ate as the end of the last cenlury such acts of fanaticism could be met with here and there in the east and center of Russia In 1883. under the reign of the father of the present czar, a peas ant in the government of R:azan. call ed Joukoff. burnt himself to death by setting Are to his clothes, which he had previously soaked in paraffin, and ex pired under the most awful torments, singing hymns of praise to the Lord. Among all these heresies there are two which have attracted more than the • hers the attention of the authorities, ;.nks to their secret rites and to their mmoral tendencies. They are the Skop ”y, of voluntary Eunuchs, about which :t is useless to say anything here, and he Khlysty. or Flagellants, which to ihis day has n considerable number of • depts and to which Resputln undoubt edly belonged, to v.'ih h. in fact, he ■only owned allcg'once. This sect, which calls itself "Men of God.” has the strangest rites which human im agination can invent According to its precepts, a human creature should try to raise its soul toward the Divinity with the help of sexual excesses of all kinds. During their assemblies they In dulge In a kind of waltz round and round the room, which reminds one of nothing so much as the rounds of the Dancing Dervishes in the east. They dance and dance until their strength r ai!s them, 'when they drop to the floor In a kind of trance or ecstasy, during wh*ch. being hardly accountable for their actions, they imagine that they see Christ and the Virgin Mary among them. They then throw themselves into the embrace of the supposed divini ties. AS a rule the general public knows very little concerning these sects, but I shall quote here a passage out of a book on Russia by Sir Donald Mackenzie Wallace, which is considered to this day as a standard work in re gard to its subject. "Among the Khly sty? ’’ he writes, "there are men and women who take upon themselves the calling of teachers and prophets, and in this character they lead a strict, ascetic life, refrain from the most ordi nary and innocent pleasures, exhaust themselves by long fasting and wild ecstatic religious exercises and abhor marriage. Under the excitement caused by their supposed holiness and inspira tion, they call themselves not only teachers and prophets, but also Sa viours, Redeemers. Christs, Mothers of God. Generally speaking, they call themselves simply gods and pray to each other as to real gods and living Christs and Madonnas. When several of these teachers come together at a meet- I Ing they dispute with each other in a vain, boasting way as to which of them possesses most grace and power. In this rivalry they sometimes give each other lusty blows on the ear, and he who bears the blows the most patiently, turning the other cheek to the smiter, acquires the reputation of having the most holiness "Another sect belonging to the same category and which indeed claims close kindred with it is the Jumpers, among whom the erotic element is disagree ably prominent. Here ip a description I of their religious meetings, which are I held during summer in a forest and dur- I itig winter in some outhouse or barn [ After due preparation prayers are read [ by the chief teacher, dressed in a white * robe and standing in the midst of the i congregation. At first he reads in an I ordinary tone of voice and then passes I gradually into a merry chant. When •he remarks that the chanting has suf ' ficiently acted on the hearers he begins i o jump The hearers, singing likewise. ' ilow his example. Their ever-lncreas excitement finds expression in the highest possible jumps. This they con . tinue as long as they can-men and I .vomen alike yelling like enraged sav - gea. When all are thoroughly exhaust it <1 the leader declares that he hears the t ingels singing, and then begins a scene ■•which cannot be here described.” » 1 have quoted this passage in full be- N -ause it may give to the reader who is ilnot versed in the details of Russian ex istence and Russian psychology the key “to the circumstances that helped Ras j putin to absorb for such a considerable k number of years the attention of the Fpublic in Russia, and which, in fact, ' made him possible as a great ruling. , though not governing, force in ths coun- THE ATI.ANTA SEMI-WEEKI.Y JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1917. try. In some ways he had appealed to the two great features of the human character in general and'o fthe Russian character in particular—mysticism . and, influence of the senses. It is not so surprising as it might seem at first sight that he contrived to ascend to a position which no one who knew him at first ever supposed he would or could attain. At the same time I must, in giving a brief sketch of the career of this ex traordinary individual, protest against the many calumnies which have asso ciated him with names which I will not mention here out of respect and feelings of patriotism. It is sufficiently pain ful to have to say so, but German calumny, which spares no one, has used its poisoned arrows also where' Rasputin came to be discussed. It has I tried to travesty maternal love and! anxiety into something quite different, and ft has attempted to sully what it could not touch. There have been many sad episodes in this whole story of Raapu-tin, but some of the people who have been mentioned in connection : with them were completely innocent of the things for which they have been re- J proached Finally, the indignation | which these vile and unfounded accu- • satjons roused in the hearts of the trde friends and servants of the people led to the drama which removed for- | ever from the surface of Russian so-! ciety the sectarian who unfortunately i had contrived to glide into its midst. RASPUTIN A MASTER OF CORRUPTION. The one extraordinary thing a.rout I Rasputin is that he was not murdered 1 sooner. He was so entirely despised ■ and so universally detested all over Russia that it was really a miracle that he could remain alive so long a time aXter it had been found impossible to remove him from the scene of the world by other than violent means. It was a recognized fact that he had had a hand in all kind of dirty money matters and that no business of a financial character connected with military expenditure could be brought to a close without his being mixed in it. About this, however, I shall speak later on in trying to ex plain how the Rasputin legend spread and how it was exploited by all kind of individuals of a shady character, who used his name for purposes of their own. The scandal connected with the shameless manner in which he be came associated with innumerable transactions-more or less disreputable was so enormous that unfortunately it extended to people and to names that should never have been mentioned to gether with him. It must never be forgotten, and I can not repeat this sufficiently, that Ras putin was a common peasant of the worst class of the Russian mouglks, devoid of every kind of education, with out any manners and in his outward appearance more disgusting than any thing &lse. It would be impossible to explain the influence , which he un doubtedly contrived to acquire tfpon some persons belonging to the highest social circles if one did not take into account this mysticism and supersti tion which lie at the bottom of the Slav nature and the tendency which the Russian character has to accept as a manifestation of the power of the di vinity all things that totfeh upon the marvelous or the unexplainable. Ras putin in a certain sense appeared on the scene of Russian social life at the very moment when his teachings could be come acceptable, at the time when Rus sian society had been shaken to its deepest depths by the revolution which had followed upon the Japanese wara nd When it was looking everywhere for a safe harbor in which to find refuge. At the beginning v»f hls career and when he was introduced into the most select circles of the Russian capital, thanks to the caprices and the fancies of two or three fanatic orthodox ladies who had Imagined that they had found in him a second Savonarola and that his sermons and teachings coufd pro voke a renewal of religious fervor, peo | pie laughed at him and at his feminine disciples. and made all kinds of jokes, good and bad. about him and them. But this sort of thing did not last a long time and Rasputin, who, though devoid of every kind of culture, had a good deal of the cunning, which Is one of the distinctive features of the Russian ' peasant, was the first to guess all the possibilities which this sudden “en gouement” of influential people for his person opened out before him and to what use it could be put for both his ambition and his inordinate love of ALL RUN-DOWN . AND NERVOUS Says This Lady Who Had to Support Family of Four. Read Below Her Statement About Cardui Tallapoosa, Ga.—Mrs. Sallie Eidson, this place, writes: "1 was In very poor health, all run-down, nervous, had fainting spells, dizziness and heart flut tering. I had these symptoms usually at my . . . times. I had a very hard time, working for seven years in a hotel after my father died. I had to support our family of four. I read the Birthday Almanac and thought 1 would begin taking Cardui. I received good benefit from it. I am sure it will do all that ft claims to do. It took three or four bottles before it began to show effects. After that I improved rapidly and gain ed in health and strength. I took nine bottles in all. This is the only time 0 have taken it. 1 was down to 108 poundst and I gained to 122. I felt like a new woman. I couldn’t sleep before and had to be rubbed. I would get so nervous and numb. And all this was stopped by Cardui.’’ The true value of a medicine can be determined only by the results obtained from its actual use. The thousands of letters we have received every year for many years from grateful users of Car dui are powerful tributes to its worth and effectiveness. If you suffer from womanly ailments, try Cardui, the woman’s tonic.—(Advt.) HOME condinfcd WHAT DISEASE REALLY COSTS. Indiana officials issue a bulletin from the board of health every month. The figures are startling: ‘‘The population of Indiana is 2,830,- 000. It spends ten million dollars a year —having consumption also $2,300,000 oh typhoid fever. $1,500,000 on insanity; two million dollars'on feeblemindedness and idiocy; one million five hundred thousand on epilipsy, and $2,500,000 on venereal diseases. " Thirteen hundred babies die every year from stomach and diarrheal troubles —the result of dirty milk. Indiana spends four and a half million dollars boarding rats.” ‘Mis souri lost ten thousand children in a single year—six thousand of them under a year old.” Very few of us stop to think what disease costs Georgia, The state sani tarium —where the insane are cared for —soaks up tax money like an elephant devouring; rats. This Insanity has di rect and traceable causes. The asylum for the blind, for the deaf and dumb, and Institutions of like char acter are extremely costly. There Is an awakening on the prevalence of tuberculosis that giVes us considerable light on the subject; and there is great surprise felt, as .to the large number of selectmen who are manifestly unfit for army service because of this prevalence of lung troubles. The milk problem is constantly with us. Atlanta physicians are giving the newspapers very startling statistics as to the badly kept milk dairies and the effect of dirty milk on babies. Milk is so easily impressed by im purities that sanitary inspection is loud ly called for. and nothing is more cer tain than impure milk to create dis eases for infants —also invalids. Im pure drinking water is certainly an agent for causing typhoid feier and the tuberculosis germ will live and thrive on anything that attacks the threat and lungs by aid 1 of germs. The cost to the public is something fearful to consider. QUEEN "LIL'” DEAD. The latest dispatches from Hawaii tells us that the former occupant of the throne in the Hawaiian Islands has passed When the United States government took over these islands she contended for her throne, which she was at liberty to do, but she was de feated In the effort. It was a thrilling time for this dusky old woman, and President Cleveland sent Hon. James H. Blount, a resident of Macon, Ga., as a special envoy to de cide upon the right and wrong of Queen Lil's claim,s. It was an expensive mis sion to our government, but the white settlers of Hawaii were insistent for a settlement of the dispute. They said she had no legal claim t» any throne and was only an inheritor of her uncle’s claim, who was smart enough to see a place for promotion and to reach for it. They said there would al ways be strife over there while this dark-hued woman could ‘‘Jaoss the. job.” It was quite a surprise when the’envoy returned with a woman’s behalf, and it created such a rumpus here and isl Honolulu that Mr. Cleveland could nor face the music, but it gave Queen Lil great hopes, of course. To make a long story short, she was excluded from the throne and a white man’s government wag proclaimed, under the protectorate of |Jie United States, which has proven ~a great success in a commercial way. The derosed queen was intensely em bittered against the United States. She hated us with a bitter hatred for many long years. She Mme-over and pleaded her case in Washington, but she failed, of course. She has a kinsman, how ever. ‘who a delegate In the United States congress from Hawaii. The other congressmen call him prince, and when they take a trip to the islands he is a lavish entertainer and profuse in his hospitality. The old lady had been ill for some time. Trawler Torpedoed LONDON, Nov. 14.—An Amsterdam dispatch to the Daily Mall says a Ger man submarine on Mondaj- torpedoed without warning the Dutch trawler Suibbertje at a point twenty-five miles off the Dutch coast. A Dutch bov* of fifteen years was killed. Ten sur vivors were rescued. money. He began by exacting a con siderable salary for all the prayers which he was supposed to say at the request of his worshippers, and of all t'he ladies, fair or unfair, who had can onized him in their enthusiasm for all the wonderful things: which he was con tinually telling them. He was eloquent in away and at the beginning of his wonderful thaumaturgfc existence had not yet adopted the attitude Which he was to assume later on—of an idol, whom every one had to adore. He was preaching the necessity to ’ repent of one’s sins, to make due pen- I ance for them after a particular man- I ner, which he described as being the | most agreeable to God, and to pray con stantly and with nnusual fervor for the I salvation of orthodox Russia. He con ! trived most cleverly to play upon the I chord of patriotism, which is always so developed in Russians, and to speak to the-tn of the welfare of their beloved fatherland whenever he thought it ad vantageous to his personal interests to do so. He succeeded in inspiring in his adepts a faith in his own person and in his power to sa'e their souls. A few hysterical ladies, who were ad i dieted to neuralgia or headaches, . suddenly found themselves better after having conversed or prayed with him, and they arpread his fame outside the j siinall circle which had adopted him at i the beginning of his career. One fine ; day a personal friend of the reigning ' empress, Madame W., introduced him at ; Tzarskoie Selo, under the pretext of praying for the health of the small [ ffieir to the Russian throne, who was i occasioning some anxiety to his par ents. It was from that day that he I became a personage. j His success at court was due to the superstitious dread wL.th which he con ] trived to inspire the empress in re gard to her son. She was constantly ' trembling for him, and being very re ' ligiously inclined, with strong leaning 4 1 toward mysticism, she allowed herself to be persuaded more by the people who surrounded her than by Rasputin him self. She believed that the monk, of whose holiness she was absolutely per suaded. could by his prayers alone ob tain 'the protection of tfie Almighty for her beloved child. An accidental oc currence contributed to strengthen her in this conviction. There were persons who were of the opinion that the pres ence of Rasputin at Tzarskoie Selo was nqj advantageous for many reasons. Among them was Mr. Stolypine, then minister of tl\e Interior, and he it wa« who made such strong representations that at last Rasputin himself deemed it advisable to return to his native vil lage of Pokrowskoie. in Siberia. A few days after his departure the little grand duke fell seriously ill and 1..J mother became persuaded that this was a punishment for her having allowed the vagrant preacher to be sent away. Rasputin was recalled, and after this no one ever spoke again of his being removed anywhere. Froth that time al) kind of adventurers- began to lay siege to him and to do their utmost to gain an Introduction. Our Household LETT’S DO OUR BIT. ‘‘Theer was a restless river.
