RUSSIA MDMML1T
A Shadow That Darkens the
Path of the Czars.
THE FEAR OF ASSASSINATION
Plots That Were Woven Around Alex¬
ander il. ar.d the Bomb That Shat¬
tered His Body—An Infernal Machine
That Failed to Kill Alexander III.
The shadow that falls across the path
of the czars may extend the world
round. Wherever the ruler of all the
Russlas may happen to be, there the
shadow of fear lies.
Once In Paris, once In the palace
gardens, Alexander II. was fired at.
Again In the Winter Palace square
one Solorleff, wearing the uniform of
an official, passed the guards one day,
and again the czar was fired upon.
Alexander ran for the palace. Solo
rieff followed him and fired three
times. The czar ran in zigzags, how¬
ever, and so escaped. Not long after¬
ward two mines were laid to blow up
the imperial train. One did not ex¬
plode, but the second wrecked the
train. Once more the czar escaped.
Watching eyes had saved him, their
owners having persuaded the ruler to
take another train.
Later Alexander II. owed his life to
the fact that he came late to a func¬
tion at the palace. A bomb blew clean
out a large portion of the imperial resi¬
dence, but the czar was not present.
But of all the attempts on the lives
of Russia’s rulers two stand out most
clearly for their amazing Ingenuity.
One tells the story of a little unpre¬
tentious shop in Malaja Sadovaja
street. Kobozeff, then unknown to
the police, took the shop and set out
to impress the police, who were al¬
ways making sudden inspections of
premises along the thoroughfares
through which Alexander II. passed,
that he was nothing but a provision
dealer. Nearly every one in that
street was a paid spy, but Kobozeff
joked with his customers, pleased his
purveyors and was most affable and
apparently harmless.
The dealer inspired confidence, and
his custom increased gradually. No
wonder, for most of the parcels that
his customers were carrying away by
day contained nothing but earth
earth that during the night hours had
been scraped by the man and his
wife from beneath the street! It was
by such ingenious method that a tun¬
nel was hollowed and cleared under
the thoroughfare and a mine laid be¬
neath the way the czar often passed,
an innocent couch upon which the
housewife slept covering the entry to
the tunnel.
Yet all the work was useless. On
the day the scheme was to be carried
out the czar upset all the arrange¬
ments by going off to lunch with the
Grand Duchess Catherine Michaelovna.
Among those who were watching on
behalf of the terrorists was a beauti¬
ful girl—a countess, too—named Pe
rovskaya. It was she who, seeing the
altered arrangements, gave warning.
The czar would return to the palace
another way. Along this route four
men carrying bombs were stationed.
One threw his. Men and horses were
killed all around, but the czar stepped
from his coach unscathed. A second
man holding a bomb came forward
and threw it “This time the effect
was awful,” says Waciaw Gasiorow
ski, who describes the incident in his
book, “Tragic Russia.” “The czar fell
as if cut by a scythe. His legs were
shattered to pieces.” So died the czar
who had escaped as by a miracle
many times.
Alexander III. followed, and there
were attempts upon his life. The
fourth was one of the most sensa¬
tional in the entire list of nihilist plots.
On a bright autumn day the impe¬
rial train traveled at full speed on the
track well guarded by soldiers. It was
toward noon. The imperial family
were in the dining car, where lunch
was about to be served. The cook and
his help were making the last prepara¬
tions for it when an assistant was
taken ill.
The court physician attended the
roan and. having stated that he had
fever, with symptoms of some inex¬
plicable ailment, decided that the man
could not remain in the imperial traiD,
and he was left at the next station.
The train moved forward toward
Borki, traveling at the speed of eighty
kilometers an hour. Then the elec¬
trical bell notified the cook that the
Imperial family were ready for lunch¬
eon. A few seconds after the bell
sounded a terrific noise was heard,
and a violent explosion changed in the
twinkling of an eye the luxurious im¬
perial train into a heap of broken
Iron, of wrecked cars, of mutilated
corpses, enveloped in smoke and made
all the more harrowing fcy the moan¬
ing and cries for help of the wounded.
Yet the czar escaped! The dining
room car that the nihilists had in¬
tended should be a grave for the czar,
his family and his suit saved him, for
although its roof and floor were
wrecked its sides were preserved.
They inclined toward the center, prop¬
ped each other like two cards and re¬
mained in that position, protecting
those who were there from being
crushed.
The cook who had beer put off the
train had worked the whole thing. He
had placed an Infernal machine in a
cone of sugar and had faked his ill¬
ness, thus getting clear away.—Phila¬
delphia Ledger.
Mercy tana her back to the unmerci¬
ful.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Il
Some Daring Pranks Played
Upon Royal Personages.
A FLOWER FOR THE KAISER.
Decorations That Made His Majesty
Explode With Wrath—A Medical Di¬
ploma Fer a Prince of Wales—The
Duke and the Stockbrokers.
Some years ago a paragraph appear¬
ed in a Berlin daily stating that Prince
Henry, who had just returned from
his visit to the United States, had
brought home as a present to his
brother a number of plants of a new
variety of crimson carnation. "As
every one knows,” the paragraph con¬
cluded, “the red carnation is his im¬
perial majesty’s favorite flower.”
On the day after the publication of
this news the kaiser was due at Aix
la-Chapelle. A member of the town
council suggested that every one in
Ihe town wear a buttonhole of the
kaiser’s favorite flower.
The suggestion was at once acted
on. The frock coated members of the
deputation which waited next morning
ou the platform each wore proudly a
buttonhole of the deepest crimson.
The poor fellows could not conceive
why the kaiser’s demeanor was so
freezing. He dismissed them with a
few words, got into his carriage and
drove off.
At the town hall was another deputa¬
tion, similarly decorated. Then his
majesty's wrath exploded. “What is
the meaning of this insult?” he de¬
manded. Some one explained, and
then one of the kaiser’s attendants took
the mayor aside. “My dear sir,” he
said, “surely you know that the red
carnation is the emblem of the Social
Democrats and of all flowers the one
which his majesty chiefly detests!”
Many years ago King Edward VIf
then Prince of Wales, was the sub¬
ject of a stupid hoax. He received a
letter informing him of his unanimous
election as honorary member of the
Princeton medical faculty and signed
by three students. With his invariable
courtesy the recipient requested his
private secretary to acknowledge it.
The reply said, “His royal highness
will remember with pride and satis¬
faction the mark of distinction re¬
ceived at the hands of the Princeton
medical faculty.”
As a matter of fact, there is not and
never was such an organization.
As impudent a hoax as ever was
heard of was perpetrated in 1904 upon
a Belgian paper. A letter purporting
to be in the handwriting and above
the signature of Princess Louise of
Coburg was received by the editor,
who very foolishly published it with
out first assuring himself as to its geD
uineness.
This letter gave a long catalogue of
the wrongs of Princess Louise and of
her sisters and constituted a most
brutal attack upon her father, the king
of the Belgians.
The letter was at once copied by a
number of other papers, including
more than one in England. Naturally
it gave great pain to the princess her¬
self, and the only wonder is that a
prosecution for libel was not the Im¬
mediate result.
Some years ago a young American
woman who was staying in Copen¬
hagen mad© a bet with a friend that
she would propose to the king of Den¬
mark.
On one of the king’s public reception
days the American lady found her way
to the royal residence.
“What can I do for you, madam?”
asked the king.
“Your majesty, I desired to ask you
If you would like to marry me?” was
the reply.
The king merely smiled.
“I am afraid I am a little too old,"
he said, and at the same moment he
beckoned to one of the officials to con¬
duct the lady to the door. He bad
put her down as a harmless lunatic.
A joke of rather a rough order was
played upon the first cousin of the em¬
peror of Austria, the Archduke Sal¬
vator, once when he was in Paris. He
was passing the bourse—the Parisian
equivalent of the Stock Exchange—
when his companion, a lanky young
French count, suggested that he
might look inside.
“If you walk straight in,” he said,
“no one wiU notice you. They will
take you for a stockbroker.”
The duke took him at his w'ord, but
of course he was no sooner inside
than he was recognized as a sightseer.
His silk hat was instantly spirited
away, and he was at once surrounded
by a mob of dealers with notebooks
shouting fabulous offers to buy or sell
stock.
The duke had a desperate struggle
Ito reach the front lobby, and when at
last he got there, hatless and breath¬
less, he found that some genial soul
had pinned a long price list to the
tails of his coat.
It is not likely that any reigning
sovereign ever got a more unpleasant
scare than did Ferdinand of Bulgaria
some five years ago. His private sec¬
retary. a young baron, was away in
Austria on a vacation w r hen a letter
arrived for his royal master announc¬
ing that he did not propose to return
and that he would be glad for the sum
of £40,000; otherwise, he wrote, he
would be compelled to sell a number
of secret documents which he had
taken away with him.
Instantly Prince Ferdinand dis¬
patched a couple of secret service en¬
voys in chase of his missing secretary,
whom they ran to ground peacefully
shooting on his own estate. Further
Investigation proved the missive to be
nothing but a hoax.—London Answers.

AN ARCTIC TRAGEDY.
heroic Self Sacrifice In the Cause of
Science.
Surely the darkest side of arctic ex¬
ploration was uever more poignantly
exhibited than it Is in Lieutenant A.
Trolle’s account In Travel and Explora
tion of the death of Mylius Erichseu
and Hagen and Bronlund, members of
the Danish expedition to northeast
Greenland. The indomitable euergy ot
these men. their self sacrifice in the
canse of science, are on the highest
plane of heroism
“For thirty days these roeD walked
on with only one sledge and foui
feeble dogs, covering a distance of
150 miles, or five miles a day
Every morning they must have had
only one wish, one craving- the crav
lag for sleep, sleep and rest forever
And yet they crept out of their worn
sleeping bags and faced a new day.
because they would continue till they
reached a place where there was some
probability of our finding their bodies
and Hagen’s fine map sketches.
“Ten miles from the depot, ou Lam
bert Land, Mylius Erichsen and Ha¬
gen died. V . Bronlund reached the
depot leaving his dead comrades be¬
hind and creeping along op. his wouud
ed feet alone in the dim moonlight
When he arrived at the depot he
placed Hagen's sketches and his own
last report so that the search party
could not fail to find them and then,
wrapping himself up in his furs, lay
down and died ”
_
“I saved a beggar’s life yesterday.”
“How?”
“I asked him what he’d do if I gave
him a sovereign. ‘Good Lor’!’ he said.
‘I should drop down dead.’ So I put
the sovereign back into my pocket.”—
