THE CURSE OF THE RoMANoFFs.
Baron yon HuInboldrs Prophecy Regard
 ing Nicholas of I;assIa.

Baron ron HuInboldcs Prophecy Regard
 ing Nicholas of Russia.
 James Russell Lowell used to tell this story to intimate friends It was told him by John Lothrop Motley
 "ln 1853 just before the Crimean war commenced, tho venerable Baron yon Humboldt came to London on very inn portant confidential mission. He called upon Lord Palinerston and said: I know a war is imminent between England and her allies on the one hand and Russia. If you will temporize, make diplomatic de- lays, do anything to gain time for year or two, there will not need to be war.
 "'Why?' Palmerston asked.
 "'Because Nicholas of Russia will die within two years. The fatal curse of tho Romanoffs is on him. Do you not know that a great seeress told Peter tho Great that no male member of the Romanoffs would ever live to sec his sixty fifth year?'
 '''But Nicholas is not yet 5o,' Palmer ston announced.
 "'I wish to save an immense flow of human blood,' said old Humboldt solemn ly. I know that the czar will die within two years.
 Lord PalInerston was greatly impress cd with Baron Humboldt's statements But he could not hold his own hand then 4 France, in view of Louis Napoleon's ready recognition by Palmerston, and all Flu rope followed his lead, was then ready to take the field. So the Crimcan war had to go on. But Nicholas Of Russia died within four months of tho two years limit given him by Won Humboldt"
 Leaving tho prophecy out of the ques- tion, it is fancy of history that the Rus sian czars have all died before 50. Alex ander HIS grandfather, the half insane Czar Paul, and the four heads of tho Ro- manoffs before Nicholas all died before 50 and of the same disease that has been so deadly to Alexander III. Alexander l, at one time Napoleon's great ally then his enemy, who so aided in the downfall of the French empire, died when he was AS of "monomania bordering on insani- ty," says history. Metternich, the great Austrian premier of that date, bluntly de- clarcs he was insane.
 The Grand Duke Constantine, who was really entitled to the Russian throne, waived his right in favor of Alexander l. He had sense enough to be aware that he was not mentally fit to rule such an cm- pire as Russia He died in his fifty-second year of what would now bc called cerebro spinal meningitis.
 The Grand Duke Michael was killed in his forty eighth year hy fall from his horse while in fit. He had shown signs of madness so often that it was question whether it was safe for him to be at large. So goes the long but never ending record , of the Romanoffs for two centuries. Alexander III was personally most llindly man and remarkably free from tho rosser vices. He drank little red wine notines, but no strong liquors, and he horred drunkenness as did his father .elore him. Washington Post.

pany. With him she appeared in 'The Maister of Woodbarrow" and other dramas originating the part of the dancing girl in Henry Arthur Jones' play of that name This is tho piece in which she will star next year.
 This character, as representation of wanton, careless, pleasure loving creature, half outside tho palo of responsibility, is ono exactly suited to Miss Harned's style of acting and must be chased as a highly artistic creation. Drusilla Ives, the danc- ing girl of the profligate duke, while not, strictly speaking, an adventures is still woman inherently doprayed and sensu- ous to tho core. The nonchalance and coolness with which she refuses tho dukes offer of marriage and spurns him in the very words with which he has once robuff- ed her were always received with storm of applause This goes to prove how we all sncakingly admire plucky advcntur- esscs and are pleased to seo the hero paid in his own coin.
 The latest character in which Miss Harmed has been seen is Mrs. Sylvester in "The New Woman at Palmers theater, New York
 Virginia Harmed is an exceptionally handsome blond, with golden hair and blue eyes, and is noted as one of tho most beautiful and attractive woinen on the American stage.

Mr.. Russell Sage can be said to he one OF

With scarcely wrinkle in his face, with
step as brisk rs n youths, he has also
many Of the almost blithesome PERSONAL

most marked peculiarities is n merry twin
kle in his blue eyes that lights up his face
when he is pleased. When he is serious.
the lid of Mr.. Sage's right eye winks like

of interest in the conversation. the blink

again like a summer afternoon after n
shower.
Mr.. Sage is usually attired in what are
ludicrously known in Wall street as slop-
shop clothes. He does not spend $50 year
on dress. In the presence of ladies he is n
gallant of the old school. There is IA Ger

Professor W. u. Alexander was a
Messenger on the Australia Satur-
dav, returning home after an ex-
tended visit TO the coast. He has
been Intercepted by the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations IN
rsf.rence 10 the Hawaiian matter
and was one of the most important
witnesses. In speaking of giving
his testimony he said last evening:
"The manner of taking report
Of the testimony given was not as
good as it might have been. All
The statements were of course taken
down by q stenographer, who
would read his notes into a phono-
Graph. 1t is from this monograph
that the testimony Is transcribed.
A copy of each witness statements
i shown him, but In several cases
the witnesses had left Washington
before they had seen their testl-
mouv. and many errors were made.
For instance, / was reported as
saving that Robert Parker was
Sam Parker's brother, when In
reality I said he was his cousin
OF course, the more important por-
tions were correct, but, as L said,
there were many minor errors.
THE feeling in Washington Is
overwhelmingly in favor OF the Pro-
yisional Government and against
restoration. People there ask what
we are waiting for, and why we do
not form q republican government
at once. 1t Is generally acknowi-
edged. of course, that restoration Is
absolutely dead, and nine-tenths OF
the people, and particularly the
politicians. favor Us. The firmness,
dignity and moderation of the Pro-
visional Government Is a matter
for favorable comment from all
sides
ssThe testimony Of naval officers
has been very valuable 10 Us. All
of them. with the exception OF
lieutenant Coffmann and Captain
Ludlow OF the Mohican, have testi-
fed In favor Of the Provisional
Government. Their testimony,
though unimportant, was against
the Provisional Government.
Senator Morgan Is considered
the abIest and most broad-minded
statesman in Washington, by all
parties. He is called the Father
of the Nicaragua Canal, and ne
saws that the three important points
10 the United States at the present
time. are Behring Sea, the Hawai-
ian Islands, and the Canal In
this view the majority OF public
men in Washington coincide.
