princess of Wales. She is the best
looking of the three daughters, and
an accomplished and amiable girl.
The splendid future before her, as
empress of Russia, is another instance
of the great good fortune that attends
the family to which her mother be-
longs.
We need hardly say to the
intelligent reader that the wife
of the prince of Wales, heir
to the crown of Great Britain
and Ireland, is the eldest daughter of
King Christian IN, of Denmark, and
that her family was poor and COM
paratively obscure among the numer-
Gus royal people with which Europe
is afflicted, when she became the
bride of the young man destined to
rule the vast British Empire. Her
marriage took place on March 10, 1868.

On November 8, 1866, her sister, Maria
Dagmar, was married to the Grand
Duke Alexander, heir-apparent of
Russia, and now the Emperor Alex
ander III. The newly betrOthed cOu
pie are, therefore, first cousins, being
the children of two sisters. Their mar
rage will be another bond of union
between the powers that possess the
greatest area of territory, of the en-
pires of the world; but it may not be
on this account a harbinger of peace
between them. Every now and then
the relations of Great Britain with
Russia are strained, and a war be-
tween them is generally regarded as
not improbable, their interests in Cen
trail Asia being supposed to conflict.
There is certainly no good reason why
these should conflict, but there is nor
mally more or less friction between
England and Russia in spite of the
near relationship of their royal fami-
lies, not only as described, but also in
| the union of Prince Alfred, Duke of
Edinburgh, the second son of Queen
! Victoria, with Marie, of Russia, sister
of the Emperor Alexander III. This
marriage took place nearly fifteen
years ago.

RICHEST MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVE AT WASH
INGTON.

William l.. Scott is the richest man
In the house of representatives. He
made the most of his fortune, now es-
timated at thirty million dollars, in
mining and railroads. This Cr9sus
among the house of tatives,
who, for the greater part, are not
wealthy men, has declined to be a
candidate for the Fifty-first congress,
and local politicians of the Twenty
seventh district. Pennsylvania, lose
an unusually free-handed candidate
in his intended retirement from pub
lie life. Mr.. Scott is a friend of Presi-
dent Cleveland, and an ardent ad-
mirer of his views on tariff reform.
Condescending to less important sub
jects than craftsmanship, the writer
may be permitted to add that Mr..
Scott is sport, though he lately re-
tired from the turf, is prince among
good fellows, and a plain living man
who, at the same time, understands
how to tickle the palate with concoc-
tons, the merits of which a French
chef might despair of attaining.
Mr.. Scott was born in Washington,
D. c., Jnly 2, 1928. His parents were
natives of Virginia. After receiving
a common school education, he was
given the appointment fpage in the
house of representatives, which he
held from 1910 to 1915. In 1913 he
settled in Erie, Pennsylvania, where
he found employment as clerk in a
shipping house.
Mr.. Scott made money, and, in 1850,
engaged in the coal and shipping
business, owning and running several
vessels on the lakes. Success led to
higher ventures, and he became
largely interested in the manufacture
of iron and the mining of coal, also in
the construction and operation of rail-
roads. So remarkable has been the
development of his business that as
president or director of various lines,
he has been largely interested in as
many as twenty-five thousand miles
of completed road at one time.
Mr.. Scott is one of the richest men
in congress. He resides at Erie, and
owns large farm near that place, on
which he raises fine stock. In person
he is tall, straight and slight His
ewes are brown, his face fresh colored;
his luxuriant mustache is reddish in
its hue. Mr.. Scott is a man of few

meaning.
1t was in 1868 that Mr.. Scott's name
was first prominently mentioned In
connection with politics, and then, as
now, he was a democrat. In that year
he was a district delegate to the ma
tiOnal democratic cOnven ton held in
New York. He was a delegate at large
from Pennsylvania, in the democratic
national convention Of 1880, and also
represented his state on the demo-
cratic national committee, from 1876 to
1891. The many local hOnOrs Mr..
Scott has received include his cleo
ton as mayor of Erie, in 1866, and
again in 1871. When he ran for the
forty-ninth congress he was largely
supported by Independent republi-
cans, as we'll as by the votes of his
own party. In congress he has dis
tinguished himself as the author of a
silver bill, the provisions of which are
favored by many competent judges on
financial questions.

THE press of the country, generally,
will sympathize with the friends of

confer dignity upon his calling and
his devotion to his work and the in

he sacrificed his life, will not pass

The law of succession to the throne

Russia which the Gar acknowledges

of the Emperor Paul, OF the year 1877,
the succession is by regular descent,
by the right of primogeniture, with
preference of male over female heirs.
Under this decree, the Grand-Duke
Nicholas will, in due time, become
emperor of all the Russians. He is

held to be of age at the end of his

Bitten by a Cobra and Lives.

DR.. Vincent Richards has been grant
ed an experience unique, probably in
the annals OF mankind-fairly bitten
by cobra, he has felt no consequence
es. At this moment, doubtless, he re-
grets the natural irritation which led
him to kill the reptile. We may safely
assume that it's fangs were in working
order; but it would have been more
satisfacto DRY to have had clear proof.
DR.. Richards collected q number of
snakes for some experimental these
cases one can never be sure what class
of experiment will turn up. however.
A lively cobra upset the program, fast
ening upon the operators hand. He
laid the finger open TO the bone, above

drove off for advice. Err. Macleod and
Sir Benjamin Simpson re-opened the
cash, cauterlzed it with nitric acid,
and the story ends. More than two
mouths have passed, and DR.. Richards
may pose, if he thinks fit, as the hero
of an adventure hitherto unparalleled.
It is great pity, though, that he de-
stroyed the snake. Perhaps the re.
mains gave sufficient evidence of it's
capacity for mischief; but if so, the
report should have mentioned it. We
should like TO know, also, how much
time was wasted in the impulse OF in

had, the story would have been yet
shorter than it is. In treating the bite
OF a cobra man must work against

which carries the poison into the sys-
stem carries death-at least such is
the impression OF the authorities, and
this case will be immensely valuable
if it show good reason to think that
the idea is exaggerated.
