John J. o'Neill, Of Missouri, has regarded himself

AJEEB DID NOT SNEEZE.

Hundreds Of men and women go to the Eden Musee
every week to watch Ajeeb play chess and checkers.
The silent old Turk IS as much Of an enigma TO the
popace as ever and continues to defeat his opponents
with ludicrous ease. He has never been beaten at
chess but at checkers he not nfrcquenty meets hfs

mystery Of his skill has been tried. A few nights
ago a grizzed lawyor-be must have been sixty-fvo;

obstinacy-was SO offended by three consecutive de-
eats at chess that he went away swearing vengeance

fused 10 receive him. and caused him 70 be
notified that he was surnmarily dismissed from
his post of Grand Secretary of the Empire, from
his Senatorship, and from all OF the other high
offices which he had filed until then. The
reason gwen for this unexpected piece OF sever
ity on the part of the Gar was NJ. Polovtsov's
absence from the meeting Of the Council but
the measure WAS of course, principally directed
against the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess yladi-
mir. on whom it inflicted far greater humiia-
ton than that experienced by the Senator.
How serious matter the Emperor's displeasure
is TO any member Of tho Imperial family is shown
by the statute of April 5, 1876. which was
confirmed on July 2, 1se6, according to the terms
of which " each member of the Imperial family
owes to the person of the reigning Monarch, both
as Chief Of the House and as Autocrat of the
Empire, entire respect, submission, obedience and
subsection" According 10 clause No. ~ OF the
same law, " the Emperor as Autocrat has the right
and privilege Of dcpriving any member OF the
Imperial family who has incurred his displeasure OF
his OF her revenues and of all immunlties, rights
and privileges as Prince or Princess of the blood
But little love exists between Alexander III
and the other members of the Imperial House

conscientious and straight to tolerate their frequent

honor. Moreover, they have never forgiven him
for having eighteen months ago reduced all
their allowances from the Crown by two-thirds.
Formerly they received as much as 100000 per
annum from the Civil List whereas now the Grand
Dukes vladimir and Alexis have TO content them
selves with pittance Of $4,000 per annum.
These measures OF economy weigh the most heavily
on the Grand Duchess Vladimir. who is German
Princess by birth, and who is popularity regarded
here as a secret agent of Prince Bismarck.
The Emperors third brother has never for
given nor forgotten His Maiesty's intervention
on behalf of his wife. the charming Grand Duchess
Elizabeth, who until few months ago was y
martyr to her husbands savage cruelty and
brutality. His uncles. the Grand-DulSes Con-
stantine and Nicholas. have both been disgraced
for the gross scandals in which they permitted
their names to be implicated at the close OF the
last war. when they were shown TO have been
