sERvIA'S soYIsH KING.

The Child OF Thirteen Who Rulcs tho De-
batable Lands in Easrern Europe.
Alexander /. of Servia is, with tho
exception of the little King of Spain,
tho youngest monarch in Europe Tho
eyes OF Emperors, statesmen and peoplo
ell turn with interest and anxiety on
this boy King whom destiny has called
In troublous times to the throne of
Servia.
Alexander Is represented as o bright,
bravo, handsome lad; but ho has a sad
history behind him in tho domestic and
political troubles which have ended in
tho divorce of his royal parents and his
own enforced separation from his
mother. Queen Natalie: whilo tho posi-
tlon Of Servia, as n frontier kingdom be-
tween Austria and Russia, will in tho
near future demand tho utmost wisdom.
hrmness and patriotism for the mainte.
nance of its independence.
In 1886 tho young Prince Alexander
madc journey with his mother to tho
Clirlca: thence to Floronco, and finally
TO Nlcsbadcn, where Queen Natalie had
hoped to romain and educate her son.
But in 1883 dcmand was mado for
tho boy through General Protosch, and
hc WAS Gdkcn TO 1SClSrado to assume tho
grave responsibilities that might welI
daunt tho bravest of mon.
Tho education of tho young King is
being carefully suporintondcd by DR..
Lazar Dokitsch, assisted by Nine. Pol
lngro, talented lady of Swiss birth,
who instructs hor royal pupil in tho
elementary branches.
Alexander already speaks German,
French and little English; but until
recently ho has not boon taught Rus
sian. Russian influences, however,
socm now likely to assert themselves in
tho royal household of Servia. Tho
Car has sent to tho young King an
autograph lcttcr and tho decoration of
the grand cross Of ST. Ammo.
H. Is difficult to predict tho future dos
tiny OF Servia; but tho young people of
ttc present generation will follow with
peculiar interest tho career of Alex
andcr l., tho boy King, who now holds
such conspicuous position among tho
monarchs of Europe.

Was Conkling great man3 Scarcely would

definition that they alone are great men who
have done great things. With no administra-
tive triumph nor with any legislation Of far
reaching purport and abiding value is the
name Of Conkling indissolubly linked. 1t is
not true OF him as 1t is true Of Hamilton, OF
Jefferson. Of jackson, that no sooner are they
mentioned than the memories OF their
achievements rise unsummoned to our lips.
Neither can 1t be said that he. like Clay. COM

party. or that he was the idol Of q section. like
Webster or Calhoun. Very strong he was up-
doubtedly In his native State. but even within
such limits there had been mon more power

party, had run on q stump ticket, and yet had
been elected Governor OF New York. Martin
Van Buren repudiated his party and accepted
an independent nomination for the Presidency
in 1848; yet he obtained moro votes In tho
State Of New York than the regular Democratic
candidate. Compared with theirs. the personal
asoendancy Of Roscoe Conkling was nerveless
and illusory. How unsubstantial his domina-
tion feally was became evident to every one

and offensive war. Will be questioned By
no one who will oandidly review the facts and
dates recorded in this biography. Within ten
days after his nomination at Chicago June 8,
1sS0J Garfield came to Washington and enc
deavored to obtain private interview with
ConklinR The latter warily avoided him. He
did So according to the bioRrapher. for reasons
Indicating an unfavorable opinion OF the can
didste's character. He was" We are told.
unwilling to trust to Mr.. Garfleld's imperfect
memory OF private conversation" And again.
"he was not willing to be q party to any agree
ment with the candidate that required secrecy.
He anticipated the course which Mr.. Garfield
would follow IL he should be elected" In pur-
suance OF the same distrust ConklinR refused
to meet Mr.. Garfield at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
conference, whore. however. the latter publicly
declared that in making such appointments as
that OF Collector OF the Port OF New York he
would be guided by the New York Senators,
the Vice-Presldent the Governor Of New
York. and the New York State Committee.
1t was. by the way. against the expressed
wishes OF every one OF these guides, that Gar
field soon after his Inauguration removed
Collector Merritt and substituted Mr.. W. II.
Robertson. That ConklinR threw himself into
the breach on behalf OF the Republican candi-
date, after Maine had been carried by the
Democrats in the September election. was due
to Grants urgent solicitation. The effect OF
the speeches which he made In New York, In
diana. and Ohio can best be indicated in Gar
fields own words When Grant and Conkling
stopped for half an hour at Mentor In the
course Of their tour through the West. Garfield
came out to them bareheaded. ana. embracing
the Senator. exclaimed. "Conklng, you have

How Garfield saw flt to reward his savior
was soon demonstrated after his installation
In the White House. Then came ConklinRs
eRregious miscalculation Of bis own political
strength at home. evinced by the resignation
OF his seat In the Senate and the proposal OF
his name for reelection. Next followed the
deplorable forfeiture OF dignity and self-respect
resulting from the failure OF his personal can
vass for what he termed vindication at Albany.
And then, as II the grievous consequences Of
folly needed agRravation from fatality. came
the shocking tragedy Of Garfleld's assassina-
ton and the cyclone Of popular horror and In
dignation whereby ConklinR's political for
tunes were irreparaby shattered. From the
viewpoint OF politics. he that bHeathed his last
at Elberon was not more dead than the eX-
Senator. Never in his whole career had Conk-
ling injured Garfield; on the contrary. he had
rendered him the greatest service possible.
Yet in death as In life Garfield was destined
to be ConklinG's mortal enemy. It was vain.

From the time whom ConklinG entered the

with President Garfield. He was one OF the

neither Mr. Hayes nor Mr.. Tilden should be
inauRurated. His views. as q matter OF infer
ence from his remarks. may be thus stated:
There are charges OF fraud made by each
political party against the other. and there is
some evidences in support Of these charges As
Republican. prefer that the doubtful title
should be given to the Democrats. Even II
the New York Senator considered that Hayes
held the Presidency Dy title valid in point
OF law. hO did not deem tho title the
same In point Of equity with that pos
sessed by Presidents who had been un-
Quostionably elected by the people. We have
previously referred to the speech delivered by
Conkling at tho Rochester Convention in
September, 1877. after which speech the
Convention. by 295 votes to 100. re-
jocted q resolution offered by George
William Curtis to the effect that the lawful
title OF Rutherford B. Hayes to the Presidency
is as clear and perfect az that OF George Wash
inRton." After such cloud was cast upon his
title In the state OF New York. 1t was natural
that Mr.. Hayes should attempt to visit his
wrath upon ConklinR. No one was much sur
prsed whom in the ensuing December. the
Executive nominated Theodore Roosevelt and
l.. Bradford Prince to succeed Chester A.
Arthur and Alonzo b. Cornell as Collector aad
Naval Of1cer OF the port Of New York. Never
did Conkling have better opportunity OF
demonstrating his influence In the Senate and
his hold upon tho Republican party. He made
a singularly forcible speech against the conflr-
nation OF these appointments. and they were
rejected by vote Of 50 to 25. only six Republi-
cans venturinR to uphold Mr.. Hayes. He cor
tainly had reason to appreciate the length OF
Conkllng's memory. for 1t was due to Conk-

The demand for full grown alligators
for northern museums and aquariums
begins with the warm days of the spring,
and many an alligator's retreat has been
carefully marked by the alligator catch
ers, who, when the signs are ripe. will
dig the saurians out and sell them at
from 81 to 81 per foot, according to the
length of the animals. The negroes loop
ropes around the big alligators and drag
them out in triumph. The alligators are
said to be getting fewer in the waters of
this section, as they are continually being
hunted and killed from the time they
come out until they lay up again for the
winter. Hundreds Of them are shot for
the mere sport of shooting, and no effort
is made to find them after they are shot.
1t is only in unfrequented streams and
along marshes and impenetrable swamps
that they are now numerous. Savannah

There has been a terrible fuss at Con-

photographer having rashly attempted to
take an instantaneous photograph of the
sultan as his majesty was proceeding on
horseback to the mosque. He was de-
tected by functionary, and the guard
at once rushed upon him. smashed all his
instruments to atoms and dragged him
off to prison, where he discovered that he
was in truly serious plight. tor the
koran strictly forbids the depicting Of
the human form, and his attempt to pho
tograph the sultan was therefore re-
garded as high treason Of peculiarly
diabolical kind. If the culprit had not
been a foreigner he would probably have
been quietly strangled. or otherwise got
rid of; but, thanks to the energetic inter-
vention Of his ambassador. he was re-
leased after months imprisonment on
