European Relationships.

George Rabbit in the Boston Heraldt
In a little company of exceptionally
intelligent ladies and gentlemen where
the talk was about the awful foreign
cataclysm, of course, the host offered
a small wager that no one of his
guests could give accurately the fam
lily relationship or relationships exist
ing between the rulers of the three
empires now at war among them
selves The wager was accepted, but
it was not won by any of those who
accepted it, In order to win it would
have been necessary to trace the sew
eral relationships as follows: King
George of England and Kaiser Will
lam of Germany are first cousins, King
Georges father and the kaiser's moth
er having been brother and sister
King George and Car Nicholas Of
Russia are also first cousins, the
kings mother, Dowager Queen Alex
andra, and the cars mother. Dowager
Empress Dagmar being sisters. King
George of England and Alix, czarina
of Russia, are first cousins, the for
mer's father and the latters mother
having been brother and sister. Kali
ser William of Germany and the car
ina of Russia are also first cousins,
the kaiser's mother and the czarina's
mother being sisters. Thus the kaiser
and the car are first cousins by mar
riage Frederick VIII of Denmark is
brother of the Dowager Queen Alex
andra and the Dowager Empress
Dagmar and is, therefore, uncle to
both King George and Car Nicholas
There are various other collateral re-
lationships existing between the reign
ing families of England. Germany and
Russia through the reigning families
of other European countries, but those
here given are the closest. Having in
mind all these close relationships ex-
listing between the rulers of the three
great empires now at war among
themselves, it seems quite permissible
to calculate: What horrible family
row."

At the Theater.

Going to the theatre is a pleasant
diversion. 1t takes one away from the
workaday world for brief time, and
for that the inventor of the theatre
should receive a vote of thanks. But
how much greater would be our enjoy
ment if only we did not find that our
seat was Immediately in front of the
girl who has either read the book or
seen the show once before Naturally,
we prefer that our theatrical menu be
not served to us warmed over. But
there is no escape when we are placed
in juxtaposition to one whose mission
in life at the theatre is to whisper
quite audibly to her companion the
facts that we had hoped would be re-
vealed only by the progress of the
play We even may pardon the entire
recital of the neighbours son or daugh-
ter's history which we must perforce
hear if we be not compelled to hear
the incidents of the drama told pre-
maturely
And really. it is hardly fair for the
star to disappoint us. He is such "a
consummate actor that we at last ex-
claim to our inner selves: Here is
the perfect actor. the one who sets
art above the mere vaingloriousness of
the mediocre thespian!" But alas and
alack! IT'S ever thus. Even he is not
proof against the plaudits of the aud
fence. The curtain goes down as he
whispers sweet nothings to his beloved.
The catch in our threats is unmistak-
able. We feel deeply the stress
through which they both have been,
for did it not seem that the william
had surely encompassed the end of the
hero? But, alas for human frailty,
The star does not recognize the fact
that we are applauding his acting. He
thinks that it is he himself calling
forth the storm. So he calmly olsen
cages himself from his sixteenth CEN
fury atmosphere and graciously ap-
pears before the curtain, shattering
in that instant romance with which we
had invested him.
Going to the theatre is a pleasant
break in the humdrum of everyday life,
but we all pray for the time to come
when the actor will not so far forget
his art as to draw to his own person
atty the attention that should go to
the drama itself.

The Russian Anthem.

The Russian national hymn, a
granoly stirring anthem, bears the til
tie. God, the All Terrible" 1t is of
more recent origin than the national
hymns of other countries-than Ger
many with "Duetschland Ueber Alles,'
England with God Save the King
Austria with Haydn's "Emperor's
Hymn Belgium with the ''Brabant-
come" and France with the "Marseil-
laise." The Russian anthem was the
work of the Russian composer Lvoff,
in response to regret expressed by
Emperor Nicholas that the Russians
possessed no national hymn. When the
composer announced that the hymn
was ready, both words and music,
the emperor sigrified a desire to hear
it. and on November %, 1882, went to
the court chapel, accompanied by the
empress and Grand Duke Michael,
where the composer had assembled
large choir supported by two orches-
tras. The sovereign" says LVoff. in
mis- history of the anthem, ordered
the hymn to be played over several
times, and asked to hear it sung with
out accompaniment; then ne had it
played by each orchestra in turn. and
finally with the united body of per-
formers. His majesty then said To
rue in French; 1t is really superb,
and there and then he commanded
Count Benkendorf to inform the min
lister of war that the hymn was adopt
ed for the army. This measure was
officially ratified on December 4. 1888.
The first public performance took
place on December II at the Grand
theater, Moscow. The emperor was
apparently DESTROYS of submitting my
work for the approval of the Moscow
pubic. On December % the hymn re-,
sounded through the halls of the Win =
ter palace on the occasion of thu
blessing of the colors."

American Radium Market Closed.

The European war has, for the pres
ent at least. totally closed the Euro
pean market to American radium ores.
AS it well known, the uranium ores of
Colorado and Utah are sold exclusively
for their radium content, so little use
being known for the uranium that the
ores can not be sold for their content
Of that element The condition of the
European market leaves the miners
without a buyer; so that while the war
lasts, and probably for some time
afterward, the market will be restrict
ed and without the benefit of COM
petition.
AS has been pointed out by Secre-
tary of the Interior Lane, had the bills
introduced in Congress been passed.
the United States Government would
probably have been in the market as
a buyer. and the miner might now
have chance to sell his ore.

Complications in Cash Case.
There was an additional chapter
to the story of the case from which
arose allegations of perjury against
Mrs Eleanor 8. Cash, Mrs. Carrie l..
Littlsjohn and Mrs. Flora E, Hotch-
kiss, in the municipal court at Port
land Thursday when Frank R. Brown
was brought before Judge Merrill and
was arraigned on complaints alleging
perjury and a statutory offepse, on
each of which probable cause was
found and the respondent was bound
over to the grand jury for the Janu-
airy term of the superior court. Bail
was fixed at $500 in each case. In the
complaint alleging a statutory offense
Mrs Eleanor 8. Cash's name appears
with that of Brown. Mrs. Cash was
arraigned on the complaint last Mon
day and she furnished bail for the Su-
perier court These cases all resulted
from testimony given in the hearing In

fore Judge Joseph E. F. Connolly, in

election of the 4th Company. C. A. c..
of Bath to fill a vacancy in the
grade of second lieutenant, due to
the resignation of Lieut.. George b.
Moody which was recently presented
to take effect Nov. 80. Lieut.. Moody
is regretfully quitting the service
for business reasons, after a brief
but unusually brilliant career. He
was elected second lieutenant from
civil life a year ago last March. and
upon being commissioned shortly
after, was designated as range officer
by the company commander, becom-
ing as such responsible for the drill
and efficiency of the fire control sec
ton. He has since been regarded as
one of the most efficient young Of
ficers in the Coast Artillery Reserve
The high figure of merit obtained by
the company at target practice last
summer, which has not, so far as
known. been duplicated or exceeded
by any other reserve oganizatior
was largely due to the efficient range
finding and computation of deflec-
tions by the fire control section
trained and directed by Lieut.. Moody.
who also further distinguished him
self by inventing and bringing for
ward a new instrument which has
since been submitted to a board OF
coast artillery officers by the War De-
partment and has been highly praised
by the artillery experts The neces-
sity for Lieut. Moody's resignation is
extremely regretted throughout the
Maine Coast Artillery Corps, as it Is
felt that the corps is losing a valu
able man.
