ABDICATIoN OF QUEEN VICTORIA.

An ambassador Writes to His Sover-
eign, Advising Him that 1t is Soon
to Occur.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The Sunday
Herald, of this city, to-day publishes the
following startling bit of news:
am fortunate enough to furnish the
readers of the Sunday Herald, this
week, with some very important news.
A representative of one of the promi-
nent European powers tells me that a
very serious event is impending in Eng
land, which is the abdication of the
Queen. The reasons given for this
most unexpected course are Her Mai
esty's fast failing health, and increasing
unwillingness, ,and sometimes an inabili-
ty on her part to preform the duties in
cident to Government. For some years
the Queen has been mild believer in
Spiritualism. She thought the spirit of
her dead husband used to assist her in
working out questions which perplexed
and sometimes annoyed her. Since the
death of her favorite servant, John
Brown, she has been very much de-
pressed, and finally it was necessary to
remove her to Balmoral, where some of
her happiest days were spent with the
lover and husband of her youth.
I am told that some very pathetic
scenes took place at her last visit there.
She seemed to feel the actual presence
of her dead Prince, and talked as though
he were by her side. This, and other
occurrences, frightened and alarmed her
daughter Beatrice very greatly, and she
insisted that some of the other members
of the family should come down at once.
The life of Princess Beatrice must be
something dreary beyond words.
But, to resume. 1t was telegraphed
from London, by the ambassador of q
great power, to his sovereign, on
Wednesday last, that the abdication of
the Queen of England was impending,
and would probably occur very soon.
From any other than this most reliable
source | should doubt it. The Queen
has clung to the visible endowments of
the throne with such tenacity, that she
must have greatly changed before the
thought was bearable. But the break
down of her heglth has been followed by
melancholia of the most pronounced
type. 1t seems not to be generally
known that the trouble with the
Queens knee comes from large ulcer,
of scrofulous and concerous nature,
that has formed under the knee joint,
which, in spite of all that can be done,
is eating its way through muscle and
nerve to the bone, and her condition is
very serious indeed.
The abdication of the Queen and sue
cessiOn of the Prince of Wales as Prince
Regent, would change the whole condi-
tion of English politics. He would be a
very popular ruler, as he is strict Lib
eral, curious political faith for Eng
lands coming King. The old Tory
party would be torn to bits, for it would,
of course, be loyal, and to be so would
have to adopt the very things it detests
the most. Well, nous verrons.

Peck's San: There is mean joker in
Milwaukee. He went into the govern
ment building the other day with pieces
of Grape, and was going to work to pin
them on the arms of the officials, when
one of them asked him what that
was for. With a look of wonder, he
said, "Why, you are going to the fun
eral, amt you? The special car leaves
at $780," and went on arranging the
Grape. One of the officials asked him
who was dead, and as he pined on the
last piece of Grape, and backed toward
the door with his mouth full of pins, he
looked solemn, and said, "Poor Eliza
Pinkston is gone" They tried to kill
him.

THE most interesting celebration of
the Fourth of July to take place in
the United States this year will be at
the grave of Thomas Jefferson, at Mon
ticello, in Virginia. A monument
erected at the cost of the United States,
will be unveiled on the day which he
perhaps more than any other single
man contributed to make memorable.
AS Mr.. Jefferson died on the 9Th of July,
1926, the ceremony at his grave will al
SO commemorate the fifty-seventh an
niversary of his death.

The Blind Man.

That a man may be blind in more
ways than one is conceded by almost
everybody. The man who is physical
ly blind, whose eyes have been de-
stroyed by disease or the sight re-
moved by some accident, is to be
pitied and he should have the sympa-
thy and share the charity of every
good citizen. But the man who is
blind intellectually or spiritually. who
at this day and age does not post him.
self as to his immediate surroundings,
does not make himself acquainted with
the general topics of the day, does not
know whether he is a Presbyterian or
a Methodist, Republican or Demo.
crat, is to he censured rather than
pitied, because in these days of cheap
literature, and the world is full of it.
q man need not go to the expense of
travelling, he can stay right at his own
freside and make himself fully ac-
quainted with everything that is going
on in the world, and thus become
good Judge of the principles and char
acters which are best calculated to ad
vance the interests of every country
and better the condition of every indi.
vidual. 1t may be well perhaps, to
state right here for the benefit of those
who may not be acquainted of the fact,
that Saur makes speciality of keeping
constantly on hand all the best and
choicest literature of the day at his
large drug and book store, and any
k.ok, paper or magazine published
anywhere in the world will be fur
nished on the shortest possible notice,
in any language desired. And we will
say further that you will not only find
Saur's drugs and medicines is always
complete, and will compare favorably
in quantity, variety, price and quality
with that of any other drug house any
where east or west, north or south. 1t
has become byword, and deservedly
too, that when you fail to find any spe-
cial or particular kind of medicine
everywhere else, that by going to
Saur's drug and book store you will be
sure to find it.
In the line of holiday goods, Saur
is always up with the times and has
everything that is beautiful as we'll as
useful at prices which are within the
reach of every one. In fact low prices
on all kinds of goods sold at this, house
have ever been the mottos which have
given this house reputation which is
not excelled and which every one is
proud to speak of. Saur has always
recognized this fact in all his dealings,
that honest square dealing, represent
ing your goods none other than that
which they are, is the only true road
to success, and he who prospers by any
other is sooner or later either in this
world or the next, bound to retrace
his steps, make right what be has
made wrong, or else forever suffer the
penalty which attaches to all that is
had.

Editor Times Democrat.
When the rich man dies we read
high and praiseworthy eulogies OF
his good deeds in life. His many
virtues are recorded in words of
gold. sweet and acceptable to rela-
tives and friends, and the general
remark goes forth. "a good man
gone" But in the lowly walks of
life. how often is it the case that a
noble and gentle spirit takes its
lonely flight to its Maker without a
word of comment-one equally de-
serving of passing word and silent
tear as the man surrounded with all
the glitter of fashionable life and
its surroundings. Such a man was
our old friend ''Pippo;" a man of
rough exterior, but full Of generous
impulses; a kind and gentle heart,
ever open to the cry of distress,
and with hand ever ready to re-
lieye the wants of friends. We can
but add a silent tear, old friend, to
the memory of one whom we have
ever esteemed as generous, brave
and true. w. b.

inst, cast a gloom over this entire
community, where he has been Sc
well and favorably known for near.
~ twenty-five years, during which
time he had been principally en-
gagged in the trade between Coving-
ton and New Orleans. His many
manly virtues endeared him to all
who knew him, and it is universally
admitted that he was one of the
most popular captains in the Lake
trade. Generous-his hand was
ever open as day to the appeals of
the needy and suffering, as hum
dreds can testify, who have been
the recipients of his favors; accom-
modating-he was always ready
and willing to do anything in his
power Tor the accommodation of
those who applied to him, and
not week passed that he was not
intrusted with responsible and i'm
portact missions, which he faith
fully and promptly fulfilled. While
careful, attentive and reliable in all
his business relations, he was at
the same time a social companion
and a genial friend, whom it was a
pleasure to know. His long con-
nection with this trade, and his
many fine traits of character, en-
deared him to the hearts of all.
The merchant, the farmer, the me-
chanic, in fact all classes of our
people, have sustained loss in his
death which it will be difficult to
replace. "Pippo" has entered the
realms of the great unknown, but
while he has gone from us forever,
bis memory will be cherished while |

knew him. His wife and children |

Gle of friends, in their sudden and
