A COAL-BLACK MONARCH.
KING MENELEK H., THE NEW
RULER OF ARYSSINiA.
The Most Powerful Ruler Aby.sinia
Has Had for Gencrationa-He Has
Had = Rather Romantic Carcer-
Was the Son VI Beggar Woman.

King Menelek ii. is now the ruler
not only OF his own kngdom-Shoa,
but Of the far more important country
OF Abyssinia to the north. lie H.,
therefore, the most powerful ruler
Abyssinia has had for generations, for
he has united his own country with the
great highlands north of him.
The King has had rather romantic
history and is u somewhat peculiar
persona fact Of which the King OF
Italy is well convinced-for Menelek
has shown n disposition to violate some
portions OF the treaty which his ENJOYS
made with King Humbert year ago,
and Italy is having more or less trouble
with the large country over which it
has assumed II protectorate.
King Haelou, of Shoa, the father OF
Menelek, heard one day that womrn
OF striking beauty WIS seeking aims at
the door of the palace. He sent FOR
her and was SO greatly impressed by
her charms that he introduced her
among the women OF his esta adjustment.
When little boy was born he said he
would not recognize him rs his son UNI
less IN the course OF years he showed q
striking resemblance to His Majesty.
AS the boy grew up he came to look
very much like his royal father, and
the King named him as his heir, though
he had other sons who Ind better
right to the throVe.
One Of the reost powerful nntve
rulers In Africa to day is, therefore, the
son OF u beggur woman. and his mother
recently was still alive, enjoying honor
in Shoa.
Physically the King is not an i'm.
pre,sive person. He is almost coal
black, short and dumpy. Unlike his
uncle, Ras Darghe, and others among
his chief advisers, he is. on the whole,
very friendly TO Europeans, and wants
to introduce their arts into this country.
Although he has declined to accept the
coins bearing the eIligy Of King Hum
bert sent TO him from Italy for circula:
ton In his country, and although in
other respects the Italians assert that
he has acted in an unrea sonable man
ner, they have him to thank for the
fact that they have now secured the
plum Of Africa; for there is no territory
acquired by the whites in the recent
scramble for Africa which compares
with Abyssin,a In present or prospec-
tive Importance.
King John. the late ruler of Abyssnia,
who was violently opposed TO a Europe.

with the utmost suspicion aud made war

Ia u mistake. Tho matter was fully
discussed In Washington at tho time OF
the passage OF the new apportoumont

legal authority that, under the law ms

with the presidential electors should
have tho deciding who wis elected in

But don't both houses OF congress

THE POINT OF VIEW.

The recent session of the conference
of charities and correction in Indiana
polls was remarkable for a determined
effort to champion the cause of immi-
grafton as it exists to-day. A commit
tee had been instructed to prepare a re-
port on the vexed question, and round
their conclusions the discussion con-
tered. 1t may safely be assumed that a
special committee appointed for a spe-
cial purpose had taken pains to go over
the ground of their report most care
fully, and had earnestly weighed ard
considered the decisions to which they
came. That, it seems to us, is not too
violent a conclusion under the premises,
and, as a matter of fact, the committee
practically endorsed the prevailing sen
timent of the public and the press.
They we're fully convinced Of the falling
away in the class of foreigners whom re-
cent years have brought to our shores.
Physically, morally and intellectually
they had found proof Of deterioration.
AS we have already said, the report OF
the committee is entitled to a great deal
of weight. But it is only fair to say
that their assertions met with violent
opposition and ever contradiction. A
member of the Pennsylvania board o
charities asserted, in so many words
that the Immigrants arriving in Phila.
delphia at the present time are Of a de
cidedly better class than those of a few
years ago. The burden OF foreign pau
pers and incapables upon local rates
was, he insisted, greatly exaggerated, fol

What Kills Us.

For the three years 1882, the mortality
of the different occupations has been esti-
mated on the census returns. If we take
the mortality of all males as represented by
1000, we find the clergy 30 long lived, so
much below the average, as IT, be repre-
sented by the figure $50. The farmers are
close after them; oven the mental strain
caused by the weather, the seasons, and
free trade canno shake their healthiness;
they stand at 63l. At the opposite end of
the scale come the brewers, with no less
than 1851, the in%nkeepers with 1,52l, the
butchers with 40. 1t is not difficult in
the two former cases to account for the
high mortality. The danger arising from
a tempting proximity to stimulRnt8 (Which
spreads even to cooperal Is shown by tho
number who die of alcoholism and those
various affections of the liver under which
such deaths are often classed to avoid hurt
ing the feelings of relations. Where ton
ordinary men, from % to CD years of AGE,
die of alcoholism, no fewer than twenty
five brewers and ffty-fi publicans are
killed by it, and the deaths from
liver disease among the latter are six
times as numerous as the average. 1t
is a melancholy fact that the mortality of
grocers has risen since the right of dealing
in wines and Spirits was extended to them.
In the case of butchers, diseases arising out
of drink are again prevalent, and n special
source of danger is the accumulation of de-
caying animal matter in close, i~ll-venti-
lated slaughter houses. If we take n lower
rank IN iife-the more truly laboring class
we find great differences between various
calilngs In the matter of health. File
makers stand at the terribly high figure OF
l,667, cutters AT 1909, plumt ers at POP,
e~arthenware makers at 1,742, the two grea,
industries of cotton and wool at 1,088 and
