CZAR’S SICK HEIR AND HIS MOTHER

A recent photograph of the czarevitch of Russia and his mother. The young heir to the throne, according to the report of eminent surgeons, is suffering untpld agonies from rapid tuberculosis of the bones, for which there is no cure. For some time past the youngster has appeared on the streets of St. Petersburg, but always in the arms of an orderly, as he cannot walk. It is now rumored that the czar will make his daughter Olga heir to the throne. --1
