TOLSTOI STILL LIVES THOUGH
REPORTED DEAD: MAY RECOVER
ST. PKTEHSHUKU, Nov. 17.
Count Leo Tolstoi still lives, despite
reports of his. death that threw a
pall over iftissia Into yesterday. Ad
vices to thnt effect from authori
tative sources were received today
and draperies thnt were hung on
public douts were hastily taken
down.
In the laborer's hut nt Astapova,
which has been Tolstois sickroom
since his breakdown at Astapova
Matiuiii the count passed a restless
night, according to the dispatches
that reached hero early today. Lator
advices said (hut his temperature
had receded to 100 and that there
were hopes that he might ugniii get
well.
The first dispatches telling of
T.olstoi's deajh were received from
Prince Oblensky, and were credited
generally. Theaters closed their
'oofs, entertainments were cancelled
and messages of condolence from
nil sides were sent to the Countess
Tolstoi. i
.Messages following that of the
prince said thnt Tolstoi in bis-dying
moments bud refused u reconcilia
tion with his wile und( that she was
barred from the death chamber.
These messages brought an expres
sion of grief even from the enemies
of Tob.'oi.
The announcement that Count
Tolstoi is still alive is causing kind
lier feelings toward him on nil sides
and it is highly probable that bis
sworn enemies will forgive him com
pletely should he icgaiii his health.
I.ON'DO.W Nov. 17. The morning
on pers loduy piiuteil the story of
the deulh of Count Tolstoi in the
hut nt Aslupovu, where lie hud been
under treatment of physicians since
his breakdown "three dn.vs ago. Ad

was erroneous were received too
