Crowned Queen After Death.

There is no more remarkable page in all
history than the one which tells of the crown
ing Of Inez de Castros fieshless skull as Queen
of Portugal. She had been married clan
destinely TO young Don Pedro, and was muir
dered three years later by assassins instigated
by her father-in-law. When the young don
heard of her death he was beside himself
with grief and rage. Two of the assassins
fell into his hands and suffered terrible tor
ture, which only ended by their hearts being
torn out willie they were yet alive. When
Pedro came to the throne a few years later
he had the bones of Inez taken from the
grave, placed upon magnificent throne,
robed in royal purple, and actually crowned
queen of Portugal! TIE court was summoned
and compelled to do her homage, just as if
she were a real living queen. One fleshless
hand held the scepter, and the other the orb
of royalty.
On the second night of this weird ceremony
the tleShless queen was borne before a grand
funeral corteSe extending several miles, each
person holding torch. Lying in her rich
robes, her crown upon her grinning skull, in
a chariot drawn by twenty coal black mules
Queen lnez, the only queen who never knew
her royal station, was driven to the royal
Abbey of AlcObaca. where the bones were
inferred with as much pomp as though she
had died but yesterday. The monument
erected 70 the queen who was never queen
during life is still to he seen in the abbey,
standing near the one erected to her loyal
husband. Pedro the JUST IL is said that
the whole cause of this outrageous proceed
ing was al attempt of Philip II Of Spain to
secure the throne on the grounds that the
marriage Of lnez was illegal. These events
occurred during the three years following
Jan. /, l347, the date of the marriage OF
Pedro and I-az,-St, Louis Republic.

The second floor also contains two large
halls, which are among the finest features Of
the structure. The art gallery proper is a
square apartment, plush hung and lighted
by electricity. This will be used as a place
for loan exhibitions of pictures from timato
time, and II is probable that a permanent col
lection will be gradually accumulated. North
of the art gallery is room especially de-
signed for the exhibition Of statuary. To
this room daylight is freely admitted.
One of the notable features of the building
is the book magazine" Atno point can the
visitor see single book shelf. The volumes
are arranged in a compartment, accessible
only to the officials, which seems more like a
safe deposit vault than library. They are
closely packed, and there is barely room for
one person to pass between the rows OF
shelves. In this magazine" there is no
woodwork except the shelves, and loss by fire
is absolutely impossible. 1t Will contain 12o,-
600 volumes.
The common council Of the city has agreed
to levy a tax for the perpetual maintenance
of the library. 1t is probable that $4,000
will be appropriated annually for the next
ten years for the purchase of new books.
Other appropriations will be made for re-
placing books worn out in service.

POLICE COURT.
a Joke in the House.

70 joke, however robust, can stand the
strain Of being run through the legislative
mangle. Suppose, for instance, that enc
honorable gentleman complains that Mr.
Speaker has not allowed him sufficient lati-
tude, and that another honorable gentleman
playfully remarks that what his honorable
friend wants is not latitude but longitude
This is a good. respectable parliamentary
joke, aud it is almost invariably laughed at
In a speech it is well enough. But what
would become OF it if it We're formally intro
duced, read a first time without explanation,
explained on the second reading and referred
to committee of the whole house, if the COM
mittee considered it, and reported progress
and asked leave to sit again, and afterward
reported it with amendments? Would any
body recognize Il when it was read third
time and passed as of its title; or when the
governor general said
sin her majestys name the governor gen
eral thanks her loyal subjects, accepts their
benevolence and assents to this joke
Again, suppose the joke to be introduced in
this way:
Whereas, The member for South York has
declared that he wants more latitude there
fore,
Resolved, mat what he really wants Is not
latitude, but longitude.
When this is read by the mover the gentle
men on his side Of the house laugh in friend
II way. When the speaker reads it the laugh
is made more feeble and perfunctory. When
the clerk reads il lin English and French) the
house is reduced into state of funereal So
lemnity, from which it is not aroused by the
facetious gentleman who moves that the said
joke be amended by inserting the words land
platitude" in the sixth line thereof When
this joke has also been read from the chair
and at the table the house has arrived at
pitch Of fury which will not be appeased by
any of the ordinary parliamentary methods
of killing motions. Nothing will satisfy
them now but 10 refer the joke to q commit

The Carnegie Free library in Allegheny
CITY, Pa, Is by far the finest building in the
town. According to the original conditions
Of the gift Dir. Carnegie was to give $3.50 ,0Cl,
and the expenses Of building and fitting up
were to be brought within that figure; but
ne consented to an additional outlay of about
$4,000 after the plans were well under way
portion OF the latter amount was expended
on the magnificent pipe organ, which fills one
whole end of the music hall. This organ has
thirty stops, ard is of splendid tone and
finish.
The building itself is o. gray granite, with
trimmings Of red stone. Alphabetically, 1t
is purely Romanesque. The main entrance
is on Federal street, and is spanred by a
graceful arch, supported by carved granite
columns The structure is absolutely fire
proof, every precaution known having been
taken to attain that end. The reception or
catalogue room Is in the heart Of the main
floor. It is fanked by reading rooms, and
adjoining it are the coila.ing and biblio-
grapic rooms.
On the Ohio street side o: the building is
the entrance to music hall, which has seat
ing capacity for 1,2OO, and Is as nearly per-
feet acoustically as possible.
On the second floor is a room which may
be devoted to lectures, etc, and another and
smaller one where scientific apparatus can be
placed and where chemical and other demon
STATIONS may be made.

pathetic chances he is indeed lacking in heart.
1t must be very trying TO the patient animals
to remain cOoped up for days while on exhi-
bition and TO smile and look happy on all oc-
casions. Every one knows that dogs are as
irresistible TO the average man as a baby is
to woman. The man wants to pat and rub
them and let them lick his hands and bite his
fingers; the woman wants TO kiss them, espe-
cially if they are pugs or poodles. The ug-
lier the dog the better.
But the dogs like it.
Bull dogs don't come in for much kissing,
they are Il little too wrinkled. The large dogs
get their share of attention, too, but it is of a
different kind and more consistent with their
bearing.

The GouGe Murder.

France and America, in police circles espe-
cally, are just now much interested in Gabri-
ellie Bompard and her solution of the Gouffe
murder mystery, which agitated Paris last
July. Gouffe was process server and bill
collector who disappeared utterly one day,
just after he had collected some $500, and
no trace OF him could be found, though his
brother-in-law was suspected Of having made
away with him. Some weeks later bis corpse
was found near Lyons, in the south of France,
and in the vicinity were the remains of a
large trunk.

''Yo1: mustn't smoke, he said, looking at
