had married Natalie, the daughter of q
Russian colonel named dc Kcchllo, and
to them there was born on August II,
1876, their only child, q son named Alex

King Milan and his wife did not live
happily together; and Queen Natalie

of letting her Russian patriotism out
weigh her prudence, and of lending her.

our readers will remember the bitter
ness which the painters treatment of
this little panel created between Mcis-
sonicr and Mrs. Macl1ay. Rumor had
it that the lady, feeling that her fca-
lures were maligncd, had destroyed the
picture. But this, happily, proved I'M
true; for no worse fate befell the work
than having its face turned to the wall

There is no need to do more than re-
call the history of the picture, or to

Suffice it to say that Mrs Macllay con-

it made her appear much older than
she was, both. of which faults it proba-

"yvitncss NV Hand"

In the early days only few scholars,
priests and clerks knew how to write.
1t was then customary to sign a 'docm-
mont by smearing the hand with ink
and impressing it upon the paper, ac-
companicd by the words: "Witness my
hand" Afterwards the seal was intro
duccd as substitute for the hand mark,
and was used with the words above
quoted, the two forming the signature.
This is the origin of the expressions as
used in modern documents.

1t is an unobtrusive little picture; the

have been paid for the picture is 5000

SALEM
AN ABLE DISCOURSE.
Rev. MIR. Hoge breaches Mas
terly Sermon.
ROANOKE TIMES BUREAU,
HOTEL LUCERNE, SALEM, VA.

Rev. M. D. Hoge, ID. D., preached a
mastery sermon in the Presbyterian
Church here Thursday night.
His subject was "The Greatness of
Services" text: Mark, 10th chapter,
1880 verses. After announcing his text
DIR. Hoge said it was interesting to note
the effect which the announcement of a
text has on different minds. He then
referred TO the incident in tho life OF
the Saviour in which, after his prayer,
.sFather. Glorify My Name" there came
both glorified it, and will glorify it
again. Some said it Numbered, others
said an angel spoke unto him. Can
you imagine anything more entirely un-
like than the roar of thunder and tho
clarion voice an angel? And yet that was
the opinion of different persons Us to
the audible voice from Heaven, SO diff
ferea.tly wore men a1fe cted by the words
of Jesus, and. SO. entirely dissimilar the
worlds idea of creItness and tho idea
inculcatcd by the Son of God. Great
ness consists in service, not in the eXer-
cise of authority, not in worldly power
or fame.
DR.. Hoge gave a graphic description
provincial governors, with whom those
the Saviour was addressing were fami
liar, coming to the rule of tho provinces
with their eXactions, and growing rich
on the money wrung from an oppressive
people, returning 10 Rome to give place
to another hungry horde who followed
in their footsteps and repeated their
crimes. These men have their success
sors today going into Office bankrupt
and coming out millionaires; or the So
called money kings, who sway a most
despotic sceptre, and to enrich them
selves, or humiliato rival, have been
known TO wreck the commerce of a
continent and paralyze the industries of
the country.
But it shall not DO so among Chris
tians; greatness is not in ruling, but in
serving. Service is the best for man,
because his safety and happiness depend
upon his conformity to law.
Service is ennobling; the regnant
men of earth have been servants.
God" "Moses, servant of the Lord"
"David"-''truly l am thy servant and
the son of thy handmade" David,
well-beloved, and servant of God"
Peter could not write an epistle without
calling himself tho servant of Jesus
Christ" and Paul, using the strongest
word in the Greek language, calls him
self the "slave of Jesus Christ" But l
dismiss all these-bid them stand aside,
and Jesus Christ fills my whole vision.
I hear him say, 1.-The Son of Man came
not to be ministered unto, but to minis
ter"
For three-quarters of an hour the
Doctor held his largo audience. and
presented in glowing words the dignity
of true service, and closed by relating a
pathetic incident illustrative of his
theme.

THE LOCAL STAGE.
''Superba" at the Metropolitan
Olympic's Specialties.

''Superba'' at the Metropolitan--
Olympic's Specialties.
When ii comes to the magic of the stage.
the Hanlons are unapproachable, and whe IL
they announce something new in their own
inimitable line. the public is serenely conf
dent it will be worth seeing. That confidence
drew out a large audience at the Metropoli-
tan last night. that even the spring thaw with
its attendant miseries could not keep away.
Such play as ''Superba' must be seen TO
form an adequate idea OF its component
parts. 1t would be impossible here to emu
merate all the wonders contained i'll the two
and half hours of its duration. Perhaps
one of the most gorgeous and effective settings
is the flower ship upon sea OF roses. This
beautiful craft, loaded with charming girls,
IS a delightful vision, and is greeted with
rapturouS applause. Another pretty ef-
feet is the garden of flowers, in the
blossoms of which faces of beautiful girls
appear and vanish in the most tantalizing
manner. Again is shown magnificent bark
drawn by mermaidS, who are gracefully dis
portlngln the waters of the lake. Every
description OF animal Is seen in ''Superba,
all serving some useful end. The scenery
representing an African jungle has an ele
ment OF realism that is startling, with its
chattering monkeys, frogs and toads, snakes
horribly pictured in green and gold, and all
manner OF creeping things, and the largest
beasts of the jungle. The curtain falls upon
the fountain of perpetual youth. throwing
streams OF real water many feet into the air,
the water showing many beautiful hues
through the colored lights. The scene is a
delight 10 the artistic eye.
The Olympic theater has an extra strong
attraction on its boards this week in sheridan

delighted audience greeted the company last

A Meeting To-Day to Hear the
Story OF the West Side Levee.

A Meeting To-Day to Hear the
Story OF the West Side Levee.
This afternoon at 8 o'clock at room 16,
state capitol. the commission consisting
of Archbishop John Ireland, Hon.
Henry M. Rice and Hon. Alexander
Ramsey, appointed in accordance with
the resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative Battley, will meet to hear the
grievances of the widows of old soldiers
and of the old soldiers of the late
war relative to the low lands on the
west side of the river in st.
Paul. The complaint alleges that nearly
ten years ago the petitioners gave their
lands and money to the city for the pqr-
pose of constructing dixie to keep the
high waters of the Mississippi from de-
stroying their humble homes. This
dixie has never been constructed, and
the city has kept both the money and
lands. Attempts have been made by
wealthy schemers, through the legiS-
lature and city council, TO divert and
give away these lands to railroads and
private corporations. Failing TO secure
the dixie. after waiting for years, they
were compelled, in order TO protect their
homes, to pay enormous assessments TO
grade up the streets, some beng COM
PEELED to mortgage their homes, While
others. who could not bear the bar
den, had to lose them. The city
council was repeatedly asked for re-
lief through massmeetings and citizens
committees, and finally the legislature
created a levee commission. which, from
some unknown cause, has never been
called together to report. Senate File
No. TIA, introduced by Senator Lienau,
repeats the law authorizing this com
mission before it could make any re-
port. House File No. 175 provides a
fair solution of the question. 1t was
referred to the Ramsey county delega-
ton, but it is understood that 1t may
never be reported back unless the house
so orders. Hence the appointment OF
the commission to secure action at an
early date. c. ID. O'Brien, assisted by
