The Empress Alexandra before her marriage to the Emperor of Russia in 1894 was the German Princess Alix of Hesseâ€"Darmstadt. A despatch from Lorodon says: Acâ€" cording to informatiort received here the Russian people have been most distrustful during recent events of the personal influence af Empress Alâ€" exandra. Bhe was supposed to exerâ€" cise the greatest influence over Emâ€" peror Nicholas. It is stated that her whereabouts is not known, but it is believed she is in seclusion, fearing the populace. A Petrograd despatch to the Daily Chronicle says the Emâ€" press of Russia has been placed under guard. of the members of the Imperial Duma to establish order and safeguard the honor and glory of our country while your comrades are fighting in the trenches for the might and majesty of Russia.

"We are ready," answered the guards; "show us the way." here at the first call when you may be required." "‘The old authority is incapable of leading Russia the right way," â€"was the answer. "Our first task is to esâ€" tablish a new authority which we all believe and trust, which will be able to save and magnify our mother, Russia." Russian Empress Hiding. The Doings of the Duiffs. i _ Thousands of unfortunate people suffer |! almost daily from dyspepsia, indigestion, fermentation, sour acid stomach, flatuâ€" |lence, gases or distress after eating. If | they would only form the agreeable habit of slowly drinking with each meal a ‘glassful of hot water containing a half | teaspoontul of pure bisurated magnesia . they would soon find their stomach so ! strengthened and improved that they | could eat the richest and most -utilf{lnx meals without the least symptom of inâ€" digestion. Nearly all so called digestive troubles are caused by an excess of acid and an insufficient blood supply in the stomach causing the food to ferment and sour beâ€" fore digestion can take place. A glass of hot water will draw the blood to the stomach and the bisurated magnesia will neutralize the stomach acids and make the food contents bland and sweet. Easy, natural digestion without distress of any kind is the result. Bisurated Magnesia is not a laxative, is harmless, pleagant and easy to take and can be obtained from any local druggist. Do not confuse Bisurated Magnesia with other forms of magnesiaâ€"â€"milks, citrates, etc., but get it in the pure bisurated form (powder or tablets) especially prepared for this purâ€" pose. A despatch from London says:â€" A weddingâ€"ring maker in applying to West Ham tribunal for exemption from military service, said his firm is now doing an enormous trade.

A despatch from London says :â€" At the Thames Police Court John Robertshaw, an American citizen and a fireman, was charged with having in his possession a letter for transmisâ€" sion otherwise than through the post. He arrived on Sunday by a Norwegian ship laden with grain for Spain. The officer of the Customs questioned the prisoner, who produced the letter and said he was going to post it when he reached Spain. _ The letter contained falsehoods and exaggerations and reâ€" ferred to Zeppelin raids that never had taken place. â€" The prisoner was senâ€" tenced to three months‘ imprisonment.

FOR CARRYING LETTER NOT SENT BY MAIL He Evidenced His Wisdom and Patriotism by Laying Down Supreme Authority. A despatch from London says:â€" The Times in an editorial on the Rusâ€" sian revolution says: "A great reâ€" volution has been accomplished in Russia. . The Czar has abdicated in favor of his infant son. . His brother, the Grand Duke Michael, is expected to act as regent. It has become clear for some time past that the strained relations between the Duma and the Court could not last. . The great The revolution is commented upon editorially here by other newspapers with enthusiasm, mainly as a great triumph for the Entente and a great disaster for the Central Powers. The press describes it as the death of German hopes and a more crushing and more farâ€"reaching blow than Germany â€" has yet recieved. The Libâ€"} eral papers also welcome it as a triumph of democracy, presaging great influence in the cause of liberty| throughout the world. l danger was that the Czar might fail to realize his position with sufficient promptitude and might either resist a revolution or defer his decision. He has had enough wisdom and unselfish patriotism not to take either of thege courses. By laying down the supreme authority of his own free will he has saved his people from civil war and his capital from anarchy."

In the meanwhile, it states, it has been decided that overseas supâ€" plies of fruit for the navy, including gifts from British dominions, should be allowed to be continued in spite of the prohibition .
