The royal dinner parties Of England
are the most formal and studied in the
world. To beginners they become a
frightful ordeal, and they rarely at the
end can tell what the meal consisted of;
to old stagers they are frightful bore.
The novices are expected to arrive early
so as to be posted by Sir Henry Ponsonby
in court etiquette. The queen usually
receives her guests for afternoon tea in
her own sitting room, and remains a
short time with them chatting on light
subjects; then they are permitted to
wander over the castle or stay in their
rooms till dinner time, which is at 8.
She says few words to each guest as
she enters the dining room. and then
leads the way to the table. 1t always
seems SO discourteous for no one to step
up and offer the old lady his arm, but it
would require an equal in rank to do SO,
and she enters and leaves the room alone.
There is very little conversation at the
table. Each guest is asked one question
by the queen and can make one reply.
The pauses between are dreadful, and
the mechanical parceling out of ques-
tions and answers makes it seem as if
the queen were putting Bible class
through its catechism. Each one waits
for his turn to come next. and in the
embarrassment the "answers" are often
of the most stupid kind.-New Yorl
Star.

have combined to establish the Congo
free state, and that the English and
Germans as nations, and French and
Italians as companies and individu-
ais, are contendiny for trade and power
on the east coast, are facts known to all;
but it is not so generally known that the
Mahometan peoples Of North Africa have
crossed the Great Desert and Arabized,
so to speak, strip 400 or 500 miles wide
across the continent. These people are
now fighting desperately against British
progress southwark from Egypt, and
stirring up the partially civilized negroes
to oppose the Congo free state.
This rene wal of the old war between
Gross and Crescent has tremendous pos
sibilities for Africa, and the mahdi, or
prophet chief, Of the Mahometans ap-
pears to be holding his own. Condor,
which may be called the summer capi-
tai of Abyssinia, stands on "bench,' >
so to speak, of the great mountain pla-
teau Of Eastern Africa. In the wars Of
the present century 1t has shrunk from a
city Of 10000 to less than one-fifth Of
that number. It is thought that the
country was settled and civilized by the
people over whom the noted Queen of
Sheba ruled-the Hamites Of the most
ancient civilization.

The peculiar methods Of a voodoo doc
tor practicing at Madison, Ga, are thus
described: When he begins his practice
on patient he gets pot and fills it with
water and roots and puts it on the fire to
boil. While the water boils he gets out
in the floor and shakes himself and says:
"I'm a buzzard, I'm a crow, I'm an eagle,
I'm kingfsher," then goes over lot Of
unintelligible incantations. He then
makes the patient look into the pot Of
boiling water until he can see the one
who tricked him. The patient is visited
frequently at night. The pot with roots
and medicines is boiled, and the patient
must undergo thorough rubbing with
the contents of the pot, while the doctor
doing the rubbing goes over his incanta-
tions.

CONCEALED IN A SEWER.
OPPORTUNE DISCOVERY OF THE
EFFECTS OF DR.. CRONlN.

A Sensation of Note In q Very Sensational
Csse-Picturss of the Articles Taken
shortly After They We're Brought to the
Light of Day.
The "Cronin Case" so called, main
tains its front rank in the line of sur
prises, and if it retains its present
character to the end, all previous com
plications of crime and detection will
seem commonplace. The last develop
ment is the discovery Of the murdered
mans clothes, and it is another added
to the thousand cases Of fatuity shown
by murderers that, instead of burn
ing these articles, they stuffed them
into a valise and dropped that in the
manhole of a sewer, where it was hun
dred to one that it would obstruct the
flow of water and render discovery GER
tain.

tiers, the name of its owner, and in the
valise was his prescription book, with
the last memorandum he ever made. In
a short time the news spread; one wit
ness was found who remembered selling
the valise to Burke and another who
took it to the Carlson cottage for him.
When he was told, as he sat in the Grim
inal court room, that the valise was
found, his deadly pallor and despairing
eye told that he considered his doom as
sealed.
The clothes revealed some curious
facts. The detached collar had been cut
from the doctors neck with a single stroke
of knife and the shirt had been torn
from his back. Did this indicate haste
or mere brutality7 Another and still
more puzzling question rises: Why were
these clothes saved-why not burned at
the cottage? And there seems no an
swer except the one suggested early in
the trial by one familiar with some OF
the accused, namely, that they intended
to ship the clothes to England, get a
corpse there of DR.. Cronin's size, clothe

evidence that he had been murdered in
that country. But, as generally hap
pens, they 'slost their heads after the
awful struggle in the Carlson cottage,
and thereafter everything went contrary
to their plans.
The finding of the trunk, the tracing
Of the wagon which carried it, the dis
covery Of the body, the appearance Of
witnesses to prove each successive move
ment of the murderers and the discov-
cry of the body, taken together, consti-
tute chain of proof which seems almost
providential; and now comes the finding
of the clothes to complete it. 1t will nc
longer be necessary for the prosecution
to prove in tedious detail that DIR. Cronir
was murdered and that the corpse found
was his-no one will now dispute it. The
valise is traced to Burke, and Burke's in
innate association with Coughlin and
Sullivan on the fatal night is clearly
proved. The net of evidence tightenl
rapidly around the accused.

did, for they put the clothes in valise
belonging to Burke, one Of the prisoners,
and its ownership has been traced to him
by incontestible evidence. The valise
was found within square OF the spot
where the bloody trunk was found on
May 5-the discovery which was the be-
ginning Of inquiry and the first OF long
series Of most extraordinary revelations.
Receiving an ordinary complaint that
a sewer on Evanston avenue, in the Lake
View district of Chicago, was out OF
order, the superintendent sent Foreman
Gilbert and three men to search for the
difficulty. Opening the manholes in the
vicinity, they found one full to the street
level Of stagnant water, showing that
,ere must be very large obstruction
the bottom of it, for it is twenty inches
in diameter. A pole was thrust through
the obstruction, the water rapidly flowed
out, the mass was brought up and ex-
amined, and all its ghastly Importance
lay revealed.
It consisted of a box holding the case
of surgical instruments and splints OF
DR.. Cronin, and valise with all his
clothes except the shoes and socks. The
latter were soon after found, a few feet
away, in the sewer. All doubt was soon
removed. Mrs. Conklin, sister of the
murdered man, identified each article.
The case still showed in bright gilt let

out again when he said that they should not

In conclusion he urged the negro to Guilt

an earnest plea for the coequality of the

with all the vigor of hundreds of Threats.

Upon investigation, however, the rumor was
found to be unfounded, though the Alsstia,

where the Ill fated steamer was sighted, and
her arrival here is anxiously looked for.
She is expected every hour.
