The Queen regulates and diseiplines
her children, just as if they were still
boys and girls. Here is recent in

twenty-four years old, has been spend
ing the autumn in Scotland. His
slightest movements and purposes are
telegraphed TO Balmoral by one of his

A Montgomery Mystery.

Montgomery, Ala, has q melancholy
romance. A church sexton one Sun
day morning found two dead bodie
lying sideby eide in a graveyard. They
we're those ola young man and q young
woman. They were In a secluded spot,
aud the scene looked like that of the
tragedy OfROmeO aud Juliet at the fall
Of the curtain. Tue sexton recognized
tho bodies as those of Mr.. Antony
Nlcrosi and Miss Aurelia Sharp.
Nlcrosi was 4 CorsiCau who came to
THE country about nine years ago, and
settled In Montgomery. He was an
exemplary young man, had no vices
that we're known, and was q clerk ia
tho store Of Nlcrosi Brothers-hO being
Q younger brother. Mics Sharp was q
very pretty girl and had long been in
the Office Of the Singer Sewing. Machine
COMPANY Of Montgomery. Her broth
er, W. II. Sharp, iS the company's
manager for Alabama. She left the
office about the usual time on Saturday
evening, aud nothing unusual was dis
covered In her manner. She was seen
walking towards home but did not 20
there. II was known that she and
NicrOsi were lovers, aud as she did not
20 home that night the superstition of
her friends was that she had eloped
with Nicrosi to get married. Nicrosl
was seen in the graveyard on Saturday
afternoon alone and he was seen TO
leave. Nicrosi and Miss Sharp were seen
10 meet and walk towards the graveyard
looking downcast and troubled. They
were also seen in the graveyard sitting
together, apparently talking, at dusk in
the evening. That 10 the last that was
seen OF them alive. Both had pistol
ball holes In the temple aud . revolver
was lying near them With two cham
bers discharged. Nicrosi was lying on
his back straight, as ifhe had shot him
self lying. Miss Sharp was Is ing Ia a
position that indicated she had been
shot sitting. The theory is that her
lover shot her aud then killed himself.
The cause is . mystery aud 1t will
most likely eve go remain.

The introduction OF pennies is becom-
ing an accomplished fact, and already
they are being offered by buyers a.
we'll as demanded, whereas they were
only demanded a short time ago,
Their use by enterprising dry.good;
stores, and some by the grocers, had
scattered the coins more rapidly and
given them a general circulation more
rapidly than anybody suspected would
be the case. On Saturday there was
paid out from the sub~.treasury $ll5 in
coppers and The sum was not bestowed
upon one or TWO big firms, but among
a number Of dealers. II should be un.
derstood tina, TO get pennies at the sub.
treasury il Is by no means necessary to
purchase q large sum. Pennies In as
small sums as y have been already
furnished aud there Is q desire on the
part Of the officials 10 aid as much as
possible in an innovation which will
result in so much benefit 10 the com.

goods stores show that the ladies have
developed quite o passion for pennies

the small change which amounts 10 so
much in the course of numerous pur.
