Millions in Hagland Unclaimed Funds Questioned
The Hagland paymaster general holds 27.6 million dollars in unclaimed balances, with large portions in chancery dormant for years. Some sums date back to 1791 and 1863 while heirs and claimants remain absent. A 1904 balance shows 13.9 million in government stock and dividends, much used for current expenses. Mrs Helen Blake’s 720,000 estate reverted to the crown in 1883 for lack of claimants.

Reason for Naming Alexis Traditions on Russian throne
The text notes a tradition dating to Nicholas I of alternating names Alexander and Nicholas for crown heirs. After Alexander II was murdered the name Alexander became unlucky, ending Alexanders on the throne and shifting to Alexia named after Peter the Great’s father. It mocks czarevitch naming choices and praises Peter the Great era.
