He was also an untiring worker, got
down to his desk as q rule by a. M,
and went resolutely through oflclal
papers till l p. m. Then he hau a
light lunch and took recreation anu
read till 6 o'clock dinner He often
wrote severe comments on the mar
cins or papers presented to him. ana
these were glazed over to preserve
them in the royal archives.
He was man of unfinchlng corr-
ace, He proved this in the last war
between Russia and Turkey, and
though during his entire reign he was
in constant expectation of being MUIR
dered he never hesitated to show him
self to his people when he thought the
occasion demanded it, and he often
times was accounted even rash IN his
manner of doing this. For instance,
on several occasions when members of
his household died and notably when
his English nurse passed away, he at
tended the funeral services like any
common person, following the hearse
on foot.
THE BODY TO BE EMBALNGED.
The body will be embalmed at Llva-
dia and will be exposed in the palace
chapel for a day or two. According
to the tentative arrangements made the
body will be conveyed aboard the i'm
perial yacht, Polar Star, to Odessa. 1t
will be escorted by the whole Black
sea fleet, which has orders to assemble
at once off Yalta. From Odessa the
body will be taken on a special train
to ST. Petersburg. and will be placed
in the cathedral of SITS. Peter and
Paul. The final ceremonies will be
held probably in about two weeks.

TINS Jne geneaIOgy IS SUBJECT 10 que6-
ton, but of the seven imperial person
ages here noted Peter III was de-
throned and imprisoned and finally
murdered by order of his wife. Cath
arine died in a fit brought on by Excess
ses, Crazy Paul was murdered by a
cable of his mobiles, Nicholas died of
chagrin, and Alexander Ii was blown
into eternity by a nihilist bomb The
family has always been eccentric.
Nominally the imperial line begins
with Michael Feodorovitch Romanoff,
whom the Russian mobiles made ear in
1913 in sheer desperation over the pro
longed civil wars.
Alexander III. was man OF remark
able physical force. He stood 6 feet
4 inches in his stockings, and it is told
of him that he could take a silver coin
of the size of dollar and double 1t
between his thumbs and forefngers.
When, in 1888, his train was wrecked
and q number of persons were killed,
it is said he saved those who were in
the same compartment with him from
injury and perhaps death by support
ing a portion of the fallen roof with
his shoulders till assistance came.
A MODEL FAMILY MAN.
OF his children the czar, as model
family man, was very fond, and many
stories are told Of the methods he used
to adopt to give them pleasure. lie
was very fond of amateur theatr1cals,
and was never happier than when get
ting up plays in which his children
were to figure as actors. Like CHARLES
Dickens. he got an amazing amount
of employment out of the details OF
improvising play, wardrobe, curtain
and every accessory out of ordinary
materials and in the face of serious
difficulties In religion he was thor
ough bigot. He never once doubted
that he was the Lords anOlnted, rul-
ing all Russia and her subject prov
inces by divine right, and that Jews,
Stundists, Mennonites and others who
did not implicitly obey his directions
were in rebellion against God and de-
serving of little consideration. The
Romanons have always been given to
q sort of brutal devotion, and the nat
ural bent of Alexander's mind was IN
tensifed by the teachings OF his tutor,
M. Pobiedonotsoff, in later years the
much feared chief of the holy synod OF
the Russian church.

Speculation Regarding The size of London
Half "A Century Hence.

The London County Council has been
studying into the growth OF that city
whose population seems 10 be decreasing
because the people are moving into the
suburbs. The investigation has brought
out some remarkable figures. IL We do
not add any more 10 the population than
the amount per decade that has been ad-
ded since 1881 it seems that we should
have a population in 1911 OF close upon
100000. II we allow for growth at
the rate Of the natural increase Of births
over deaths there will be nearly ii 600 600
Ia London IN that year. Ii We reckon that
London will grow at the average rate OF
the last three decades We shall be over
1900 600; but II inner London and outer
London so on together growing at the
rate they have beef growing for the last
three tens Of years we are TO expect "A
London population in 1871 OF a trihlng
i7.5OO.OO1. II we look at the matter in
another way. and ask what population
greater London will contain when il
has attained throughout the mean destiny
OF well-known areas, We get the follow
ing calculation:
II greater London were only peopled as
densely as Hampstead. u would con-
tain population Of 100000.
II It were peopled on an average as
densely as Fulham Is now, the population
would be 2n,OO0000.

Editor Times: The notice in your

COMMITTEE ON Asylums and Prisons
and the discussion of the Female Phy-
stefan Bill" by DIS. Parker ana NC
CURE, and the reasons assigned by III.
Parker for his opposition 20 women doc
tors has brought out what was whisper
ed here years ago OF DR.. Parker argu-
ment based upon "the moral unfitness
OF women for the profession. Ihere can
be but one opinion about the statement
he makes that women are untrustworthy
and cannot be safely trusted with the
secrets Of science, etc.
His opinions are of no importance. eX-
cept so far as they being received by
others may do harm and prevent most
desirable improvement. but from one
standpoint openly expressed, they are an
insult TO every woman and every man
who has wife. mother or sister. Money
before now has bought the secrets or
science from men, and / doubt not that
those who have cause % seek Illegal
relief can find it by paying for II, with
out hunting for a woman doctor. IL IS
with regret / ever allude % such things,
but there has come a time when Tor
bearance has ceased 10 be virtue, ana
women must defend themselves if they
world I'm which they live. DR.. Mcclure
favors the bill. Dr. Mcclure is broad
minded man. the head of his profession.
Women all over the state desire this
bin to pass. and the press everywhere
favors il. Shall prejudice and seliishness
prevent it's passage?
IT. seems rather peculiar that Dr. Par
ker dwells SO perslstenuy upon one side
of the female physician question.
The Legislature is not considering the
question whether women should practice
medicine or not, that has been settled,
but whether they shall attend in insane
asylums, and il seems strange that DIR.
Parkers mind continues TO run upon
criminal practice regarding childbirth,
AS though that would affect an institution
where the presumption is, children are
never born. Such are the Inconsistencies
which retard the progress Of what Is
right and just in this selfish world.
trust the Legislature viii settle this mat
Ter now. and give the many aching
hearts the rest OF knowing that THEN
unfortunate loved ones are all in the care
OF a competent woman doctor. For this
we all pray So mote it be.
