 News of the attempted assault spread like wildefire and in a few moments the streets around the station were filled with excited men, determined to lynch the negro.

IHE REAL RULER IF RUSSIA
 FROM HER LATEST PHOTOGRAPH
During Czar's Illness She Governed Empire and Ousted Her Mother
 in-LaW from Her Power

Berlin, January 1a-Since the illness of the Czar the young Empress has become the most influential parsonage in Russia, and has entirely supplanted her mother-in- law the widowed Czarina, as the power be- hind the throne.
 Although In delicatae health, she showed such an amount of decision of character, of resolute energy and of cleverness during her husbands malady that she has com pletely relegated to the background her mother-in-law. to whom until three months ago she had been more or less compelled to assume a secondary role.
 AS soon as the young Czarina realized the character of her husbands illness she es- tablished herself not only as his nurse and as the mistress of his sick room, but like wise as the channel of all his instructions end commands to his family and to his min isters. If the Czar was at any moment de- lirious during his illness, and there is every reason to believe that his mind was cloud ed, at any rate for several days, the world was kept in ignorance of the fact.
 The administration of the government was carried on just as usual through the

POSTAL COMMISSION.
Charges for RaiIroadd Mail Transporta.
 ton Not Excessive.

Washington, January 13-The joint pos tai commission of the House and Senate which has been conducting for two and half years an investigation into the ques- tion of charges for railroad transporta- tion, the extension of the pneumatic tube system, second-class mail matter and oth- CT questions affecting mail facilities and expenditures, held its final session yester- day and will present its report to Congress tomorrow. The commission, in the course of it's investigation, has heard testimony all over the country, and MT. Loud of Cali fornia even went to Europe in search of information. The conclusion of the com- mission will not be unanimous.
 Regarding the main question, that of the cost of railroad mail transportation, the conclusion is that under the present sys- tenn the charge is not excessive. This con- clusion is concurred in by all the members of the commission save Representative Moody of Massachusetts and Representa- tive Catchings of Mississippi, who will say in separate report that certain economies could be effected upon the roads running the regions of dense population. They will recommend that a committee of three, to consist of an official of the Post office Department, Professor Adams, who acted as the committees expert, and a representative of the railroads, be ap- pointed to carry out the suggestions, which, they estimate. would save the gov ernment $3,O00,000 annually
 The commission is unanimous, 1t Is un- derstood, that an extension of the pneu- matic tube service is impracticable and in- advisable. Upon the question of second class mail matter, although the commis- sion on the case is of the opinion that the present classification is inequitable, no specific recommendation is made, as it is

VENTILATED THE FAMILY.
Louis curier Then Took Dose of Paris
 Green.

Albany, N. Y., January 13.-Louis Currier. aged 40 years, early yesterday morn- ing cut his wfe's throat, killed his son, Archie with baseball bat and then took a dose of paris green and cut his own throat from ear to ear with a razor. All three are dead.
 - Currier left letter addressed to the po- lice, which shows that the murder was premeditated. In it he claims that his wife bought paris green for the purpose of kill ing him. It is believed that his frenzy af- ter killing his wife led to the killing of his son, who was 12 years old.
 Currier was a painter by trade. His wife, whom he married thirteen years ago, was then employed in a woolen mill at North Adams Mass. A sister of Currier exon crates the dead woman, and states that her brother made life most wPetched for his wife, drinking to excess and abusing her.

at his worst been published in the official bulletins. But, thanks to her control of the sick chamber, she was able to prevent this, and when the Minister of the Imperial Household, Baron Fredericks showed a disposition to rebel against her authority, she threatened him with instant dismissal, suspending him from office when she dis covered that he had appealed against her to the widowed Empress.
 It was owing to this that the Minister s name disappeared from the medical bulle- tins during the latter part of the illness of Nicholas, and the remonstrances sent by letter and telegraph from Copenhagen were received and answered with such a<spirit of independence and authority by the young Czarina that her mother-in-la -law--realized that her predominance of power in Russia was at an end.
 Good for All the World.
 For Russia and for the world at large this succession of the young Empress to her mother-in-law as the supreme and all- controlling influence in the Muscovite Em- plre is of a happy augury For whereas the widowed Czarina personifies everything narrow minded, reactionary and despotic, the young consort of Nicholas, thanks to

Empress, and thanks to this there was no rNsssity for establishing any regency. The importance of this action on the part of the Empress will best be appreciated when it is pointed out that the regency would have been vested either in the hands of the Grand Duke Vladimir, whose wife is the most pronounced foe of the young Czarina, or else in the hands of young Grand Duke Michael, who is completely subject to the influence of his mother, the widowed Car ina. In either case the regency might have been relied on to have carried on the gov ernment in a sense diametrically opposed to the views of Nicholas.

 It was for this reason that the yonnE Em- press directed, in the name of her Aue- band, that Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Vladimir remain in Paris instead of return. ing to Russia when they heard of the slam- perors illness, anG she similarly insisted In the Emperors name that his mother remain in Copenhagen with young Grand Duke Mi chc=si until the Emperor was on the high road to recovery.

PUT ON EXHIBITION

An improved Angelus piano player,
on exhibition at the music store of G.

advantages over the instrument of the
same name for which S. r. Leland &
Son formerly had the agency "A rep
resentative Of the company is to be
in town during the week to explain the
merits of the instrument to those who
wish to hear it.
This Angelus differs from the other
Instruments in several important
points 1t has an improved expression

and bass may be accentuatel indepen-

The tempo, too, is under perfect com
troll of the player and the arrangement
for playing accomplishments allows
broad range for individual expression.
The instrument may be played alone
or in connection with piano, the reeds
with which it is supplied being full
toned and with pipe-organ effect. By
the use Of stops the cello, violin and
flute effects can also be obtained. The
instrument is compact in appearance
and the perforated roll is protected
when in place by door of glass. which
also prevents any undue noise from
the mechanism.
