The combinations. popularly called
trusts, which aim to secure a monopoly
of trade in the necessaries of life, as
well as in those things that are em-
plcyed upon the farm. In the factory and
i;, many other fields of industry, have
been encouraged and stimulated by ex-
cessive tariff duties These operate to
furnish a substantial market in the ne-
cessities of to.wm people, by practic-
ally excluding competition. With so
large a market and highly remunerative
prices continuing long after the line of
possible competition would naturally be
reached, the temptation of all engaged
In the same business to combine so as
to prevent competition of prices has
proved Irresistible in a number of cases.
All men must agree that the net result

vices picked out In electric globea
Early tens of thousands of tapers
glimmered by the altars of St- Peters-
burg's many shrines. In chapels and
cathedrals everywhere there were
solemn c ho rouses of thanksgiving,
from the Imperial chapel of the Peter-
fcof palace to the humble lamp-lit
shrines of the streets, where the
hurrying pedestrians, laborers and
drosky drivers waited to cross them-
selves. The street crowds, however
were much more quiet than is usual
on a holiday, for the popular rejoic-
ing over tbe event at the Alexander
villa could not dispel the anxiety
which prevailed regarding the tate
of tbe squadron on which so much de-
pends.
The emperor was greatly restricted
in a choice for the name for the heir
tc the throne by the fact that the im-
perial Initials which everywhere ap-
pear in public edifices, on soldier**
epaulettes, saddle cloths, railway
wagons, etc.. are "A" and "N " The
selection of a name not beginning
with these letters would entail enor-

There are a great many traditions
about the came. The first Alexis
who won many victories over the
Poles, endeared himself to his people
and is known In Russian history as
"the father of his country."
The name is not a particularly
lucky one. Alexis Petrovitch was or
dered to be executed by his lather,
Peter the Great, for treason, but ht
died in prison.
