A London paper says that the will of
the late Queen-Alother of Spain, who died
last year in France, has been proved in
London. By it she bequeaths large
sum of money for masses-fve thousand
to be recited for her soul, similar num-
ber for the souls of her deceased hus-
bands, one thousand for the souls of her
deceased children and five hundred for
those of her deceased grandchildren.
Various amounts are bequeathed to the
poor of several Provinces In Spain and
France. With respect to her numerous
business, political and confidential pa
pers, they are to be sealed up and deliv-
cred to her son, Don Fernando, while her
intimate and private papers are to be
sealed and delivered to her daughter.
Neither package is to be opened until the
expiration of forty years from the date
of her decease. Any papers properly be-
longing to the Government of Spain are
to be given up to King Alfonso. The
bulk of her proper y, which is very con-
siderable, she distributes among the mem
bers of her family.

The Reasons For 1t.
Commercial III etin.

At a recent town meeting near Boston,
the question of LAYING out new road
was under consideration, and it was pro-
posed to appropriate certain amount for
the work. To this one individual stren-
uously objected, winding up his remarks
by offering to edo the job himself for half
the money"
Just here knurly Irishman on the
outskirts of the meeting spoke out and
said: ...
"Thrue for yez, Misther Buncombe"-
and Buncombe smiled with satisfaction,
which faded into dismay as the Hibernian
orator continued
eur l wurked fur yez fur three wakes
this summer, and divi a cent did yez pay
me; and if ye do the town wurk in the
same way ye can take it at half the price
of the other felly."

The following curious calculation ap-
pears in French journal: The Prince
Imperial had seventeen wounds. There
are seventeen letters in the name Napo-
leon Bonaparte. Ihe addition of the fig
ures 1908, the date of the birth of Napo-
leon III, makes seventeen; so does 1926,
the date of the Empress Eugenie's birth,
and 1853, the date of their marriage.
From that to 1870, the year of their fall,
was seventeen years. The Prince Impe-
rial was seventeen years of age when his
father died. There are seventeen letters
in the name of Lieut.. Carey, and the ad-
dition of the figures 1862, the date Of
Prince Victor's birth, again produces
seventeen.

The royal family Of Spain have spent
the summer in the Gnadarrama Noun
tains, $500 feet above the level of the
sea. 1t was bought from monks by Philip
V, the Bourbon Prince who undertook
to perpetuate the Hapsburg dynasty in
Spain as heir of his grandmother, Maria
Theresa. Philip V built here palace,
and laid out gardens in imitation of Yer
sailles, employing his time from 1719 to
l746 with such disregard of the cost that
the gardens alone caused an outlay of
$45,000,000 In return for the expense
the King had, as he was heard to say, the
satisfaction of a habltation higher in air
than any other sovereign in Europe.

There have been so many contradictory
statements regarding the sword worn by
the Prince Imperial wien he was killed,
and subsequently returned to LordChelms-
ford by Cetewayo, that it may be worth
while to settle the matter. Before hand
ing the weapon to the Empress, Lord
Chelmsford sent it to Messrs. Wilkinson
& Co., the eminent armorers, to be
cleaned. They pronounce it to have
been the service-sword of the first Napo-
leon. 1t Was rehilted for and worn on
service by the late Emperor, and came to
his son on the death Of his father. 1t is
a light weapon, quite straight, with an
opeD-work hilt, and differs but little
fron the officers light cavalry sword
to-day in use in the French army New

For THE TIMES.
Picnic.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Accordng to previous an.
nouncement, the U. u. A. M, held their
annual picnic in Dromgold's woods, in Carroll
twp, on Saturday the 9th inst, and although
having been postponed on account of the In
clemency of the weather, 1t was largely at
tended by some of the best and most respecta-
BILE citizens of the county, among whom we
noticed the two candidates for Associate
Judge. As Is usual on such occasions, a num-
Der of hucksters had stationed themselves In
prominent places on the ground to supply
everybody with icecream, cakes, &c. In the
forenoon some amused themselves by various
games and plays, and others appeared to enjoy
themselves by shaking hands and chatting
with their friends. About 12 O'Clock they
went for their baskets, and we observed the
dinners were gotten up with the very best the
market could afford Because of the Landis-
burg Band having arrived late, the exercises
were deferred until late in the afternoon.
Members of the order from Marysville, Dun
cannon, Newport, Bloomfield, Elliottsburg
Landisburg and Shermansdale met at Mr..
Robert M'Donald's, short distance from the.
grounds and formed In line, and were marched
by Dist. Dept. Reiter, of Duncannon, and Jos.
Hair and Robert M'Donald, of Shermansdale,
to the place designated for the audience to
assemble. After music by the band and organ,
order was called by Past Master q. w. Reeder
as President. Next in order was the singing of
the opening ode, and reading of scripture by
Ex. c., A. II. Glenn. The Hon. @. J. L. Nc.
Intire was then introduced, who delivered an
able and interesting address. Music by the
band. The next speaker introduced was Prof.
q. w. Gehr,who entertained the audience with
an appropriate and eloquent address. Music
on the organ. Father Billow, who had been
invited by the committee to speak on this oe-
casion, made q few pertinent remarks, and
asked to be excused, fter which the closing ode
was sung by the Misses Sallie Fleck, Emma
Fleck, Mr.. Dromgold,S s. A. Peale, Esq. ,and Prof.
Hicks, with an Accomplishment on the organ by
Miss Mckee, of New Bloomfield. Exercises
closed about six O'Clock, Immediately after
which the crowd dispersed, all appearing well
pleased, the order having been good through
out the entire day. The committee return
thanks to all who participated in the exercises
of the occasion, and to the editors for publish

Saturday. Among those that visited
the circus grounds on Saturday was Mr..
Michael Glenn, a well-to-do farmer, of
South Middleton. Scarcely had he ap-
peared upon the scene, when a Harris
burger approached him relative to the
purchase of horses. In the course of
the conversation they finally got into
the side show when another party APP
preached Mr.. G. and told him he held
the winning card in the Louisiana lot
terry, which entitled him to 81 600, but
that he must first prove that he was
worth $500, in case he was the wrong
person. He told them he had but 500
with him, but the sharper told him that
sum was insufficient. He finally left
the tent, one of the scoundrels accom-
panying him and telling him that he
had won a prize few days before, and
that person should never let such a
golden opportunity as this pass unbeed-

Albright Seem A young man named
Alf Potter son Of Levi Potter, residing
near Liverpool, was recently working
at the Muncy stone quarries. He says
about two weeks since that Albright
came there and applied for job. He
then talked with him half an hour, and
tried to get him to go into the boarding
house for his dinner, but he would not
go. During the time he was there he
stuck to him so close that he could get
no chance TO inform any men who he
was, and as soon as he got away from
him and informed persons they loo ked
for Albright but he was gone. Lewis
Potter, ESQ.,, of this place, who is ALI.
Potter's uncle, says the lad who tells
this story is truthful boy, and he does
not doubt the statement, and as AL
bright and Potter had been acquainted
for years, there is no chance for 1t to be
case of mistaken identity.

ed. He suddenly met friend from
whom he borrowed $4O0. He then re-
turned, laid the money down, when an
other thief suddenly appeared from be-
hind the canvas, grabbed up the $500
and ran into the menagerie. or course
Mr.. G. was thunderstruck. He at once
made some inquiry with regard to the
taking OFF, Of the money, and whilst
he was so engaged, a man representing
himself as Coles detective," appeared
on the scene and ordered all the men,
including Mr.. q. out of the tent. Just
here, why YVES not that detective" ar
rested IL Is certainly coming to a
pretty pass If men are to be outrageous
ly robbed in broad daylight, by such a
bold set of thieves and then be ordered
away when they make known their
losses.
Warrants were Issued for the arrest of
the three unknown parties, and for the
manager of the side show, and George
Hake and Updegrah, of Harrisburg.
No arrests were made during the stay of
the show in Carlisle. Although the
money might possibly have been re-
covered had District Attorney Emig's
advice been needed.
The same afternoon Col. w. Wherry,
an aged gentleman residing short dis
tance South of Carlisle, on the Balti-
more pike, was fieeced out of $50, in
similar manner in this same side show.
We heartily trust that all these sharks
will be arrested and get Cumberland
county justice-a long term of years in
the Eastern Penitentiary- out to
them.
