CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY Various Cities to Po lllm IIomr. New Novel Announced by Novel ist for rosthuiiKins Publication Dealing With Sex Problem. MOTOR RIDE TO VESUVIUS ST. rETERSBl'RG. April K. Althonfth in deferens to the -wishes of Count Tol stoi, the plans for an international cele bration at Tasnaya Polyana this Summer of the writer's Jth birthday, to which delegations from Russia ami abroad liavo toen Invited, have been abandoned, ad mirers of the Russian novelist propose to siKnaiire hts jubilee by the formation of an international Tolstoi society, similar to the Goethe. Pante and Shakespearean societies, designed to study and propa pute the Ideas of Tolstoi, to collect ma tcTtnla concerning his life and activity, and ultimately to purchase the home at Yasnaya Polyana for a Tolstoi museum. Celebrations of the anniversary will be held m St. Petersburg. Moscow and other cities. Kcnson ftr Declining. Tolstoi's reasons for declining the honor are given In a letter to Michael Slaklio vlch. in wJiich he writes: I address myself to .you with a very great request, namely, to stop the plan of a Jubilee celebration, which will give me nothing but pain, and what Is worse, the consciousness of evil doing. You know that, particularly at my age. when I am so near death, nothing Is more precious than the love of my fellow men. and I far lest this affection suffer from this Jubilee. I received yesterday a letter In which it was said all members of the Orthodox Church (from which Tolstoi, as is well known, was excommunicated! would be affronted by this celebration. I bad never thought of it in that light, but what was written was correct. Not only among the orthodox, but also among many others, the celebration of my Jubi lee would provoke evil feelings. New Novel Written. Those who love me (1 know them and they know met need no outward forms to express their affection. ' Therefore, do what you can to prevent this celebration i Uanan .noes at Rosenthal's. and free mc from this sorrow. I shall ever be thankful." Count Tolstoi has. it is said, written a new novel, which will only be published after bis death. It is entitled "Father Sergius.' It has for its hero a young guard officer who retires from the world and becomes a monk on learning of the nnchastitj- of a young girl with whom he has fallen in love. He becomes famous for sanctity, but Is subjected to repeated worldly temptations, finally yields to a tempest of sensual passion, and, after killing the victim of his lust, leaves the monastery to become a wanderer upon the earth.
