Empress Of Russia Has Had
Melancholy Career For Years
tAmerican News Service,

St Petersburg, June 25.-The recent
celebration of the Empress's birthday
recalls some interesting incidents in
her career. which during the last de-
cade has been a melancholy one, owing
to her poor health and the turbulent
condition of her country.
Her majesty was a daughter of the
late grand duchess of Hesse, and
therefore a granddaughter of Queen
Victoria. AS a girl. the Tsarina was
brought up in the most simple man.
ner, and until her confirmation she
was allowed only a shilling a week for
pocket money. She was so bright and
happy in those DAYS that she earned
the nickname of Princess Sunshine"
but since that time she has gone
through many trying experiences. 1t
was in 1884 that she first met Mich
olas II, but ten years elapsed from
that time before she became his bride.
AT first there were numerous objec-
tions to the match-not the least i'm
portant being the question of relig-
ion, but Nicholas uncle, the Grand
Duke Serge. came to England and
pleaded his nephew's cause so elo-
quently that at last Queen Victoria
consented to the wedding, and her
granddaughter became empress of all
the Russias in 1894.
The Tsarina once proved her cour-
age and resourcefulness IN an amusing
though somewhat embarrassing Incl
dent. when out walking at Kiel. Her
majesty had hoped to remain incog-
nito, and except for lady companion,
was unattended. While purchasing
some articles at a jewelers. shop, the
! news of her identity got abroad, and
in a few minutes a large crowd assem-
bled outside the premises. In despai.'
the Tsarina asked the jeweler to let
herself and companion out by the back
| of the shop. but he explained with pro-
| fuse apologies that it was impossible
| to do so as the back yard was enclosed
| by high boarding which effectively
cut off their escape. OH" exclaimed
| the empress, that does not matter.
