His Assassination Was Like the END.
ing of Julius Caesar.

The 25th of March, 1901, was the day,
on which the Emperor Paul Of Russia
was assassinated. Paul had received
some whispers of the plot against his
life and had arranged to leave st Pc
tcrsbprg the following day and go to
Moscow, where he fancied he might be
safer. On the evening of the 25th he
retired to rest at an early hour that he
might thoroughly rest himself before
commencing his journey. At II o'clock
about a score Of the cOnspiratOrs-offi-
GERS holding high rank in the army
appeared at the gate Of the palace. 1t

an order, signed by the emperor HIM

rouse him. There Is fire in the city,"
replied the treacherous aid. The Cos

shouted out to alarm the emperor and
Immediately fell, pierced by the swords
of the consprators. Paul attempted to
bolt the door, but being unable to do
so seized his sword and turned boldly

"You are no longer our MASTER" re-

Paul at this raised his sword, and
the cOnspirators, who had not expected
him to show so much courage, drew
back, with the exception of a man
named Beningsen, who urged the 9TH
ers forward. saying:
IF you hesitate, you are lost"
Then Count Valerian Zoub0ff struck
the first blow, and the others quickly
followed his example. AS Paul still

Character of England's King.

The character of King Edward
while Prince of Wales, appears to
have been greatly misunderstood u.
Many scandals were laid at his door:
many journalists and prominent writ
er.s found themselves unable to resist
temptation of making him the theme
Of cytrayagant stories without foUn-
datian, or at best based only upon
hearsay evidence.
While making no nrctencc TO be-
ing q saint, his morals were neither
better nor worse than the majority Of
his countrymcn and it was precisely
that fact that cudcared him to them.
The great influence that no 9th +
Prince possessed, and which was pos
Eesscd by him in Il SuperlItivc decree,
was very largely due to his remarka-
bic tact
Thanks more to him than TO any
other, hard drinking, GO -Ousals. coarse
and profaue language went out Of
fashion. He would tolerate in the
houses of respectable people no mon
aui women who had forfeited their
right to remain within their pale,
and no woman of questionable ante
cpdnUts could with his sanction con-
sort with ladies or with innocent
girls Few people had any idea how
well read he was. It was generally
reported that his reading was very
Umfwd, and vet the reverse was true.
No new book of Importance, whether
in German. English or French, appear
ed that failed to receive his attention.
and many such were read and d s.
cus=gl at Marlborough House before
their review appeared in print. Not
a few Of the French authors were ac-
ru-rUmed to send him their first
copies.
His faults, never grave or serious,
SiHIy served to bring out i'm great
prominence the many attractive
points of his character. and since his
accession to the throne even those
faults have grown less and his vir
tues and ability become brighter and
greater.
