King MILAN in Danger.


King Milan Obrenovich, who lately
was raised to the throne of Servia, has
experienced one Of the perils to which
monarchs are exposed, the widow of a
political cOnspirator having tried to
shoot him in the Cathedral at Bel
grade. Servia has only been brought
into notice Of late by the financial
operations of NJ. Bontoux, the French
s~peculator, who nearly ruined it; and
by the agitation conducted against the
King and his new Cabinet by the
Metropolitan and NJ. Ristics, the late
Premier. But though the Balkan
kingdom occupies a very small space
in the scheme of European politics,
yet the assassination of its King, the
lineal descendant of its liberators,
would cause an Infinite turmoil, fol
Russia and Austria would at once
begin to fight for his heritage.

A Patent a Box.
Cleveland Herald.

NANfSANhu APiaANs
1t is often asserted and generally
believed hal it is against the policy
Of the government to patent any
article issued for immoral purposes,
and in the collections OF thousands OF
models in the patent office museum
one might look all day without discov-
ering aught that would look like the
product of an immoral thought. Yet
it is nevertheless true that faro deal
er's box was once patented in the reg
ular way, and the owner of the same,
one Robert Bailey, of Virginia, an old
fashioned gambler, realized consider
able money from the same, receiving
500 royalty for each boz sold. He
did ell he could to reform the game Of
faro and protect those who played from
the uuflir practices Of regular black
legs, He was debarred from gambling
rooms in his latter days because oftho
ease with which be detected crooked
ness on the part Of the players aud
exposed the same. Though he made
quite a fortune from his patent, he
spent the money as rapidly as it came
to him. The original patent is still
preaerved.

Black Bass Tor England.

Mr.. W. T. Silk, the English fish cul-
turist who came to this country three
weeks ago on a mission to procure
black bass for the stocking Of the
preserves Of the Marquis Of Exeter,
returned home yesterday on the
steamer Baltic, after successfully ac.
complishing the object of his visit.
Before leaving he said to a Herald
reporter. Il have succeeded In secur-
ing 200 black bass to carry back with
me to stock the White Water lake,
belonging to the Marquis Of Exeter,
aud the various reservoirs around
London. The fish all come from
Greenwood lake. AS at this season
OF the year they resort to deep water,
SO | had to resort to hook and line,
with which almost all of the fish were
caught. In size they range from two
inches in length to two pounds In
weight, and | have secured a lot of
minnows to feed the large fish with on
their passage across, They will occu-
py the four tanks which l brought with
me, and you will soon hear that the
black bass is as plentiful in England
as our sparrows are with you"

several years was led to believe that he
was a sinner, and to come out on the

he had taken this step. he reached his

and upon demanding an explanation,
his son replied. well, father, l didn't
know what to do. [ didn't suppose,
after what you said last night, that
you would mix any more beans with

What viii be the effect upon the con-
tractor and his bondsmen of the taking
away of the Alaska mail cannot be told
ut present. 1t was strange proceeding
altogether. There was no failure on
the part Of the contractor. The service
was performed the first month. and on
the coming of the second month the
mail was refused him. That is all there
was of it. The Government had no
right to assume the contractor would
fail, and If be had failed it would have
been common custom and law to
have called upon the bondsmeu to have
taken his place in the performances Of
the service. This was not done. 1t was
simply an arbitrary act of those in au-
thority, for which We believe the Gov
eminent can be held responsible. The
motive for the act can be conjectured
only, and must be regarded as the re-
suit of Oregon sinfuence," intent upon
its own selfish purposes, and willing to
sacrifice everything it considers in its

bia Indian, while hunting up the coast
a few days ago, was suddenly attacked
by monstrous grizzly bear, and a
struggle for life commenced. The bear
tore the mans neck and shoulder, and
bit of his left car. while his side and
legs were lacerated by the claws of the
Infatuated animal. The most remark
able thing is that the bear had not been
wounded, nor did the Indian see it pre-
vious to being attacked. The cries of
the Indian brought to his rescue two
other Indians, who killed the bear.

A COSTLY O2FIcK.-No poor man need
aspire to be Lord Mayor of London.
His expenses for Lord Mayors Day
alone. his first day in office, might well
alarm him did he not possess consider
ably more than competency. On last
Lord Mayors Day the dinner cost $500;
the decorations, $3l2S: the procession.
x3532; the Guildhall music, 1898: print
ing and stationery, $l472, and the gen.
eral expenses were $307S; total, SIS, 600.
OF this total nearly one half, or xs9i7,
came out of the Lord Mayors own
pocket Mr.. Alderman and Sheriff
Hanson paid $3.50 of it and Mr.. Sher-
iii Ogg An equal sum. From the City
Lands Committee an even $1,000 was
contributed. Hanson and Ogg, it will
be seen, contributed together a sum
equal TO the contribution of the Lord
Mayor: in other words, after the city
had contributed its $1,000 the three in
dividuals shouldered the remaining
$1,000. The salary of the Lord Mayor
is $4,000. into which the first day in
office thus makes large hole. Brave
and self denying beyond most men
would be the one who made this salary
pay his expenses. 1t is the rule that !,
Lord Mayor far outlives his income.

Nothing could demonstrate the deic-

the fact that yesterday some ladies and
several gentlemen, visitors who arrived
by the North Pacific ON trip to this
city for few days, we're obliged to pack
their luggage on board the steamer
again and leave this morning, in conse-
quence of not being able to find any
place in the city to stop. A greater por-
ton of the afternoon was spent in an
unavailing hunt for lodgings, and they
we're ultimately obliged to go down to
the steamer for shelter. Of course they
INDUCED in sundry uncomplimentary
remarks, and no wonder, ON the cause
of their disappointment.
