nople 100000, and the minister of public
works 220, 900. These astounding disclosures
have turned Belgrade topsy turvy. AL of
them, save the one concerning Milan, are
thought to be substantially accurate.
King Carlos, of Portugal, who possesses
sixteen Christian names, while his younger
brother answers to no less than thirty, ia
personally one of the most amiabIe of
monarchs. He is handsome, blonde young
man, vino carries himsslf with military air,
and is credited by his personal friends with
considerable decision of character. He is a
devoted sportsman, an accomplished musi-
clan, speaks seven languages and paints in
water-colors-in short, he is bit of a
ssvant, like his relative, the unlucky ex-
Emperor Dom Pedro. The queen is believed
to be popular. She is tall and handsome, and
was very carefully educated. She does not
share her husbands passion for music, but is
a student of history, delights in mathematics
and is a clever sketcher. She speaks French,
Portuguese, English and German. She is
said to take deep and intelligent interest in
public affairs, and to be exceedingly fond of
her adopted country.
A man named Colby has succeeded in
making good deal of trouble in several
Massachusetts, towns by publishing what he
calls 'Blue Books" among them. He has
arrived in Worcester and the Spy in that
city gives him the following send-off He
proposes to publish sort of social direc tory
of Worcester in which each persons name
will be marked by stars, daggers and other
symbols, indicating, as Interpreted elsewhere,
that the person so designated is of the best
society, the Worcester equivalent of New
York's "four hundred" or has place in
some inferior social order. 1t is assumed
that all of the exclusive circle will buy the
book for the satisfaction of seeing their social
conceded in print; that all who
have social aspirations not yet gratifed will
buy it, as British commoners buy e'Burke's
Peerage,"~ in order to be guided by it in
their struggles toward the goal of their am
bition, and that those who occupy in
measurable content lower social planes-but
not too low for the "Blue Books" notice
will buy it for the pleasure of seeing their
status, such as it is, formally defined and
recognized in print. This is the assumption
that may be warranted by experience in
other cities. If that experience should be
repeated in Worcester, so doubtless would
the jealousies, heart-burnings and quarrels
which have been caused by such publica-
tions. 1t is an objectionable impertinence
for stranger to come here and, with very
imperfect knowledge of the subject, place or
people, undertake to arrange the inhabitants
Of Worcester in social strata, making himself
The arbiter of fashion and society. Ii Mr..
Colby thinks he can make it profitable, how
ever, and can find people foolish enough to
encourage him in his enterprise, Worcester
will doubtless survive it, and will not be
made permanently unhappy.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

There is a Solomon in Cleveland in the
shape of q judge who settled suit over the
ownership of carrier pigeon by asking dis
interested persons to take the bird outside
the city and release it. The pigeon flew to
the loft Of the plaintiff, and the judge decid-
ed that that was sufficient proof that the bird
belonged to him.
It is interesting to note that for 10 years
to come no man, woman or child will write

safe to say that not one will ever write the

FRESNO, May 27.-1he San Joaquin and
Kings rivers are higher than ever be-
fore. About Elkhorn many thousands
OF acres are inundated. A large area
near Reedly is also flooded. Several
hundred acres of the finest wheat land
of the Laguna de Tache grant is under
water, and the wheat, which promised
to be a splendid yield to the acre, will
not pay for the harvesting. Below
Hamptonville the San Joaquin has
broken its banks, and hundreds of acres
are covered with water. The bridges on
both rivers have been washed away.
Both streams are rising rapidly, and a
few warm days will cause a disastrous
flood. At Firebaugh the banks are in
danger, and should they break the en-
tire country will be flooded. The snow
in the mountains has only commenced
to melt.
GOSHEN, Cal, May 27.-Owing to rise
in the neighboring streams, over 1000
acres of wheat within three miles of
Goshen, are overfiowed, and will be a
total loss. Travel ON the wagon roads
is suspended. The water is up to the
track on the Visalia railroad.
