Laat night a notice wa. published by the governor of St. Petersburg to inform the police that he had noted that the Inhabitants displayed flag, which were extremely dirty outside their house, on tne birthday, and name.' day. of member, of the imperial family. But people who do t Hacorata thalr house when ordered tr the police are fined, end naturally nobody takes the slightest trouble about the mat ter. Even on government building, may be seen flags and draperies which look more suitable for funera'a than festivals. Now all thl. is to be changed and there are to be fines for people who do not show their loy- alty with nice clean, decorations. Moreover, j the governor la annoyed that the town is not more gaily Illuminated on those happy day. when all the world seems filled with the sunshine in the )oy of felicitating some member of the lmpt'il house on the glad occasion of a blrthdty. Benzoline Illumina tions, the cheapest obtainable, do not please the governor. Henceforth there must be festoon, of lamp, in the streets and the police are net to get It Into their stupid ! I heads that Illuminations on the Nevsky Prospect will suffice. It sounds like semet ; thing In "Alice In Wonderland." In fact It might have occurred to thu queen, who had a hablf of shouting "off with his head" at the smallest provocation. Hard Blow tu Liberty. The worst blow ever struck to liberty In Russia was undoubted!;- the murder of Alexander IL Ho bad freed the serfs and he died on the eve of granting a constltu- tlon to hla people. There still are people In Russia who believe that hla death wa. caused by reactionaries, who urged on rev- , olutionlst. for their own ends. That ter rible day In Marclu ISJtl. when the great czar fell, made an Impression on the pres ent monarch which ho la never likely to lose. Por nights afterward, th. little grand duke'. English tutor had to sit by hia bed side for houra because the future csar lay In bed trembling, expecting that he would be aaaasalnated aa hla grandfather had been. Alexander II waa aa brave a. hi. grandson is timorous. After an attempt on hla life he would drive about the capital unattended, cheered by the populace. "We simply adored Alexander II." said a cultivated w.man the other day. In 1181 .he wept at hia death; ahe la now a revolutionist The plain truth I. that Nicholas II is his own greatest enemy.

When ilia president appeared before the audience that filled this laige hall from c enter to circumference, he was wet to the skin, but (food naturedly set his audience at ease by perpetrating the sally above quoted. The Bt- Lou's address was the best of the series silvered by the president. It was mere comprehensive that the others. The prcsi- "lent seemed to enter thoroughly Into the spirit and broke away front his manuscript with explanations and apt illiiHtrnt ions.

LONDON. Oot. 11 iSpeclaL) At th ex press Invitation of the queen of Roumanla, , J. W. Lawson. a blind man. 30 year. ol, living In Leeds, ir going to Bucharest ta net as Instructor In cabinet-making In th settlement for the blind, which the gooo queen Is establishing there. Lawson'. wife, who has the use of her eyes, chanced to see some montha ago a letter from th. queen's private secretary. Baroness voa. Kranlchfeld a blind woman by tha war- which whs published In an English news paper, describing the plana for the .ettloa me ut. Riie thought the -queen', .chem. ir.:ght afford her husband an opportunit. to obtain a congenial position and stead? employment. So she wrote to the baroness, After some correspondence Lawson waa, engaged, and will go to Bucharest in tha, spring. After that had beeii settled, "Car men Sylva," as she is known to the literary world, sent Lawson a letter. Letter froaa tke Qneen. "Oh, how I feel for the blind," .he wrote "I cannot tell you. But I hope to make many of them happier. Herr Mou.ka and ' I are already ararnglng your future noma here a little house and a nice workshopi and there are two men who knaw a Ilttla ' English already. Those you will begin with. . , "Every master ha. hi. own workshop and his own people. .

A queen who writes like that must be a charming woman, and one well calculated to Inspire affection among those brought Into association with her. In her letter to the Lawsons the baroness lauded het to tho Bkles. "She Is a real woman," ah. wrote among other things, "not a hooting suffragist, but a helping angel, a saint, too, in character. No pride, no .tiff, cold airs, so you need have no fear of hen. She Is a queen, every Inch of her, but not one of the common herd of queen, who wear crowns of gold on brainless heads. She ha. a master mind and yet no vanity. . She doea thing, naturally and unosteu tatlously." Some of the "common herd of queen." might be disposed tb resent the allusion to their "brainless heads," but that doe. not concern Lawson. He I. satisfied that he will find a good mistress and a billet that will Just suit him. Lawson deserve, hi. good fortune. He ha. had a hard struggle and his marvelous skill at cabinet making and other work ha. been entirely the result of .elf-teachlng. He wa. M years old when he lost hla eyesight. H went home from school ope day, feeling un well, and went to bed. When he woka up In the night he thought it wa. tha blackest he had ever seen. It wa. blacll because he had gone stone blind, but; that dreadful fact wa. not revealed to him until next day. Skill at aa Early Ac. He had a strong natural bent for me chanics which, before fate dealt him suctt a terrible blow, had often led him to play the truant at achool that he might prowl around workshops and factories. When he wa. 14 he made himself a bench and. a turning lathe, but lack of money pre vented htm from pursuing hi. hobby, and he took to the frequent resort of the blind piano tuning a. a mean, of making a precarious livelihood. ' It wa. through what might be called aa accident that he came to take up cabinet making. Two young women who were at tending the Leeds university, tn despera tion at being unable to And a bookcaaa such as they had been commissioned ta purchase, suggested to Lawson that h should make one. At first he scoffed at the idea, but at lost consented, stipulating that If It did not prove satisfactory h. should get nothing for it. 'He did th work .0 well that he wa. given 12.60 mora for it than the price acred upon. Th. bookcase now stands In the library of Leeds university, where also I. a reading) desk , and a letter rack which he wa. sub sequently commissioned to make. 1 Ifomcroa. Iaventlena. After that he made tables, chalra, ward robe., over-mantela, and. In fact, nearly every variety of furniture. 111. work being marked by exquisite workmanahlp and finish. He has invented a foe signal which only lack of mean. ha. prevented him from perfecting. In the course of time the queen of Roua mania expects to establish a small city for the blind on a tract of land on tha outskirts of Bucharest which ha. been given her by a wealthy sympathizer with her work. Provision ha. been mad. by which the afflicted may move In from their village homes to occupy the cottage which are to be erected for them.
