Heroic impressions of the late czar
receive something of shock when we
read the story that few nights before
he died he got up about midnight and,
feeling better, began to play on tho
trombone. The autocrat of all the Rus
sias, and man sick unto death, aris-
ing in the still hours OF the night to
perform tune on the trombone is a
somewhat grotesque picture. The ac-
count further relates that the cars
doctor, zacharin, was so put out by the
noise that he sent . note to his majesty
asking that It be stopped, and that his
majesty was So incensed by this retiec-
tion on his musical accomplishments
that he returned q message to the effect
that II thcdoctor did not like the music

Seventh street, between Carr and
Wash streets, they heard what
they considered suspicious sounds ap-
parently coming from the alley be-
tween Seventh and Eighth streets.
They at once started to make an in
vestigation, and as they did so they
heard door slam. They hastened to
the Office of the Brandon Manufacture
ing Co., which is located in the rear of
1915 North Seventh street, and on ap-
preaching the door met burly negro
who was on the point of making his
escape from the building. On discov-
ering the officers he leveled at them a
large revolver, but before he had time
to use it they jumped upon him and
soon had him under submission. They
then took him to the station.
