house Of commons made use of the
phrase "Ring, lords and commons, Or

las that right honorable member would
call them, commons, lords and king. "
Mr.. Pitt rose with great deliberation
and called to order.

said, but now my blood runs cold.

The clerk Of the house wrote the
words.
"Bring them 10 me-" commanded
Mr.. Pitt IN u voice ~ thunder. BY this
time the offending member was thor
oughly frightened.

The New Gar Acted Like q Booby and
Had TO BE Braced and Coached.
The story OF the sudden evolution of
an emperor which was brought hack to
London by the witnesses of the Russian
pageants Of grief and Joy is.one of the
strangest in the personal histories of
great rulers. The members of the Brit
ish court and the English correspondents
who followed the funeral party from
Livadia to st. Petersburg saw and heard
some interesting things which IL was
not possible to describe in the dispatches
which were sent home.
1t is learned that for several days
after the death of Alexander III the
members of the Russian court were re-
duced to despair and distraction by the
behavior Of the young czar. He was
completely unnerved, not so much by
grief at his fathers death as by his sud
den encounter with the vast responsible
ties Of the position. He became for some
days shrinking, covering weakling. Ii
was almost impossible to coax or spur
him into the exercise of any of his i'm
perial functions. Those whose duty IL
was to prompt him regarding the proper
state and other formalities were at their
wits end, and the situation caused the
greatest alarm in the court When some
simple course was urged upon him, the
young emperor shrank back and begged
that he be let alone. He even whimpered
when the necessity Of action was pressed
upon him as imperative. He more than
once burst into tears and acted more
like terrified child than the ruler Of
an empire.
This continued for seveal days after
the arrival of the Prince of Wales, and
1t was to him that the officials of the
Russian court finally appealed. The
prince was equal to the occasion, and in
the last three weeks he has done more
for England than the whole British for
eign Office would be able to accomplish
in a generation. He remained constant.
ly by the young emperor's side. He put
heart and courage into him. Before the
ozar reached st. Petersburg he was
transformed. He not only became man,
but began to acquire some Of the dignity
Of his rank. He soon astonished his ad-
visers by displaying genuinely intelli-
gent comprehension of public affairs,
with sound If not brilliant powers Of
judgment
When the wedding day arrived, he
had developed an originality and inde-
pendenoe Of opinion which further
amazed those around him. In other
words, the attack of blue funk which at
first caused the gravest fears for his ca
pacity to govern has been completely
conquered. London Letter.
