MONARCH OF RUSSIA.
A Short Sketch of Czar Nicholas
 TT

A Short Sketch of Czar Nicholas
 II.
 Czar Nicholas II. of Russia, who in inc eve of the world is the absolute mon arch who holds the power of life and death over 13O 10000 human beings, Is the descendant of one Michael Romanoff, who in 1913 was elected to the vacant throne of Russia. How this came about even Russian historians are puzzled to explain, for the insignificant Muscovitish nation was then only verging from bar barism, and such annals as were record ed are a tumble from which 1t is quite imuossible to discern fact or discard fable.
 At all events, Michael Romanoff es- | tablIshed a dynasty that still rules Rus sia. Of all this family only Peter the Great need be mentioned, for he was the | father of modern Russia. It was he who led his people from Asiatic savagery to | such a degree of civilization as they have attained and 1t was he who began the l conauests and absorbing aggressions that have made that nation one of the | greatest in the world. It Is said by many who have delved deeply into Rus sian history that this able, if half | savage, monarch outlined @ policy that the statesmen of his country have been pursuing ever since, and that 1t is their constant consistency to the empire-build- ing principles of Peter that has enabled the Museovites to spread over most of northern Europe and Asia, becoming. | many fear, menace to the peace ana independence of both
 Nicholas Il, Is 46 years of age-a young i man, indeed; but, then, Russian rulers have not generally been lOng-ived. He | has been upon the throne since the death of his father in 1894, nearly ten years' | and the average length of Russian reigns have been ten years. l There can be no doubt that Nicholas | H. is, as he was when crowned, a hlgn minded prince with noble aspirations. | Like his father and the ruler before him. | he, at least has sought to give his people a greater degree of freedom than they | have ever enjoyed. but 1t must here be stated that the Czar of Russia cannot in all things, do just as he pleaces, Rus sia is large, and It's affairs are intricate. No one man could dominate it's civil and | military service. It has its departments l and its bureaus, and these departments

STEINER WILL | BE A CAPTAIN To Command the New
 Troop. OLD CAVALRY DISBANDED Governor Issues Mastering
 Out Order. Prominent Montgomerians Are Mov- ing to Organize Military com-, pany to Take Place of
 Mounted Rifles.

AaJor K. E. Steiner, Is to be capta.r oi d new cavalry troop in Montgome1, "lcn s To take the place of the Mont l somery Mounted Rifles. which Is to be mustered out of the service. An order foT the disbanding of tha p |. nes. Troop "A,''i First Alabama Cavalry was issued yesterday from the office St AdJutant General ". W. Brandon. In this order Capt B. F. Baber of IF Montgomery Blues. was named as the mastering out officer. No date for The mastering out of the company was given in me order, the time being left to the discretion of the mustering-out officer. Steiner to Be Captain. A movement has already been irfaugur- ated for the organization of a cavalry troop to take the place of the Mounted Rifles in the Alabama National Guaro The promoters of this movement conten- plate the organization of a troop of whIt h Major Steiner is to be Captain, and Gas ton Gunter, W. W. Hill and R. P. Dexter are to be lieutenants.
 A conference of those interested in the organization of the new command was held last night In the office of MaiLr Steiner. It was decided then to carry the movement over until the formation of Inc command had been completed, and 1t had been accepted by the State military of- ficers,
 Beginning today a canvass of proba De members of the company will be under taken and a list made Before the coa- mand becomes part of the National Guard 1t must be accepted by Major V. B. Atkins of the Cavalry Squadron and Governor Jelks. Those in the movement propose to form a company which will meet the approval and endorsement of the State military officers.
 Cause of Trouble.
 The mastering out order for the Rifles was the result of protracted aud appar- ently irreconcilable dissensions within the ranks of the old troop. Since last sum- mer when charges and counter charges were filed against Captain W. O. Gar side and Lieut. Charles D. Dexter, the command has been disturbed by factions and has not been considered at all efIi- cient.
 An attempt to hold an election Monday night resulted in more strife and dis sension. Major Atkins recommended 10 the Governor that the troop be mustered out.
 In accordance with the recommendation Special Order No. .5s iss1ed from tue Adjutant Generals office directs Major
 
 service Troop "A," an inefficient organ ization. A The order names Captain E. F. Baber as the mustering-out officer. Captain Ba- Der. after mastering out the company, will take charge of the stores and equip- ment of the command, to turn them over later to the Adjutant General. The officers of the Rifles are Capt. W. o. Garside, First Lieutenant W. W. Walker and Second Lieutenant Thomas | Robinson.

Growing OEN

Ought not to mean growing weak and feeble. It does not mean weakness or feebleness for those who eat with good appetite and sound digestion. It is of the utmost importance that old people should retain the power to digest and assimilate food which is the sole source of physical strength. When age brings feebleness 1t is generally because of the failure to assimilate the nutrition con- tained in food.

MIR. MURpHY's RETURN.
His Book on Southern Questions
 Will Soon Appear.

VIII soon -APpehr'
 From communications recently received rom MT. E. c. Murphy, Executive Sec refary of the Southern Education Board, it seems likely that MT. Murphy will re- turn to Montgomery about the last of this month. He has been detained in New York longer than he expected, partly by reason of his duties in connection with the annual meeting of the Southern Education Board, and partly by reason or some literary work upon which he has been engaged.
 In this connection 1t Is interesting to note that the Macmillan Company of New York and London announce the early publication of volume by Mir. Murplly entitled, The Present South." The book contains one or two of the public ad- dresses which the author has delivered before important audiences in the North and in the South, but the volume Is chiefly composed of new matter that has not before appeared in print. It forms a discussion of a number of the educl- tional. industrial and political Issues In the Southern States.
