the browning of Catherine, the wild
ow of Peter the Great
The latter finally triumphed but
her reign was brief one for she
died within two years. Before her
death she nominated Peter, the son
III Alexis,, to be her successor. In
a730 he was deposed and the crown
given to Anne OF Courland, daughter
of Peter the Great and Catherine.
Peter II was in fact the last of the

extinct with his death, but the name
was preserved through the accession
of Anne of Courland who was the mo-

Peter III was dethroned and assas-
sinated in 1862. He was succeeded
by his widow, Catherine II. She
reigned until 1896 On her death in
that year she was succeeded by Paul

line of succession was Nicholas |.
For thirty years he ruled over the
Russias and saw one of the stormi'
est of all periods of the country's
history. He was succeeded by Al
exander ii in 1855.
The reign of Alexander ii was full
of vicissiudes The nihilists had be-
come emboldened by centuries OF
misrule and tyranny and throughout
his reign they We're plotting his
death. In 1880 a dynamite bomb was
exploded under the royal dining room
and the only reason the car and all
the royal family we're not killed was
because they happened to be a few
minutes later than usual for dinner.
A year later Alexander IL was as

under his carriage. tearing him TO
pieces. His successor, sAleXander
III. was marked by the nihilists sew

of their plots failed. Many of them
were sent to the mines of Siberia foI
life and others put to death.

throne in 1894. Nicholas II is the ED

Well, that's the way that shark rose

AMERICAN INVASION or PARIS.

Paris. Jan. 1.-THE proposal to
turn the Palais Royal into huge
American entrepot. with hosel and
theater attached. has not been receiY.
ed with any general enthusiasm by
the American colony here. In the
eyes of many the scheme, stated in
its broad outlines, has an appearance
of desecration. As one lady, prom

to me.
1T would shock me less If ! heard
of Madison Square garden being
turned into a trading establishment. :
The famous saying that Every good
American goes TO Paris when he
dies" has no longer significance, or
only slightly so. because he does not
wait so long now before settling
here. The fact that our transatlan,
tic cousins permanently established
by the banks Of the Seine are as nu-
merous as an army corps Is proof OF
their appreciation OF the city of light.
And when the appreciation is a ven
Grafton for the historic beauties and
a fear and a jealousy lest the hand
of the reformer or the Speculation
should be too Tudely placed thereon.
Consequently, among those who
know and love their Paris, who have
an abiding sense of its charm, there
is no welcoming smile for the propo-
sition to turn the ancient habitat o.
princes into an emporium for Ameri
can goods.-From The London Pal

RICH DRAMATIC EVENT
Torch, the Young Russia,
Actor, Made a Presentation
of the Dual Character.

"Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde was
presented at the opera house We'd
nesday evening to a fairly large
audience, and a play Of much pecu-
liarity was een by a great many for
the fist time. The action of the
play is centered around the main
character, DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde,
which is impersonated by Theodore
Lorch, a young Russian actor. who
has a splendid conception of the part,
and when changing from demoniacal
Jekyll into the gentleman Hyde it
is a piece of work that is SIMPLY
magnificent. The play is thrilling in
the extreme and after it is all over
u does not have the most pleasant
thoughts for the rest of the night.
The company supporting MIR. Lorca
was excellent and the play was a
highly successful one.
The next attraction at the opera
house will be the famous drama OF
"Trip VanWinkle," on Saturday
evening.
