The Death of tho Duke of Clarence.

LONDON, Jan. l5.-The duke of Clar-
ence ana Avondale died little after 9
o'clock yesterday morning. He was
unconscious all night, and no hope
was felt for his recovery after l o'clock,
when he began sinking.
England is in mourning, and prepa-
rations are already being made from
one part of the kingdom to the other,
from one end of the empire to the 9TH
er, to show the sympathy which the
loyal subjects of the queen of England
and empress Of India feel for her,
Coupled to the sad death of the young
prince is the thought that the
bells which were soon to toll
for his funeral were to have
rung out merrily little more than
a month hence upon the occasion of
his marriage to broken-hearted Princess
May. The nation is in sympathy with
the queen, the Princess of Wales and
the Princess May, three royal per-
sonages whose good qualities have en-
deared them to Englishmen every
where. The Prince of Wales, of course,
comes in for sympathy. He has until
recently had strong hold upon the af-
fections cot the masses, but recent
events have somewhat cooled the de-
gree of esteem in which he was held,
though he can not be said to have lost
his popularity.

the depot pla

The arrival in St. Louis of the famous
wife OF the still more famous leader of
the Glendale gang of train robbers was
an exceedingly quiet episode so far as
any stir at the union depot was con-
cerned. There were probably not half
dozen people on the platforms at the
time who knew that the little party of
three-one woman and two men-who
stood for moment on the platform
after leaving the train, were conspicuous
{ characters in a leading chapter of IA
Nous criminal ease. Neither would
they have been led to suspect that fact
by the appearance OF the trio.
The woman, Mrs. Marion Hedspeth,
was totally unlike the generally-accept-
ed ideas of the adventures wife of
Train-Robber Hedspeth, and would
never have been taken for
that cool female accomplice of the
Glendale gang" who kept house for
the robbers at No. 1914 Swan avenue,
in this city, up to the night of the Glen
dale train robbery, and who Is believed
also to have been prominent as coun-
selor and schemer during the days when
the great express robbery was being
planned.

on the pension laws with the hope OF
reducing the annual expenditures in
this direction from S1>3. 0OO. 600 to S33, :
ooo.0O0 or. at most so, 900, 600 The
movement will be inaugurated by the
mem bers of congress, but will be the
work of an organized body of loyal
soldiers who believe that reform is nee
csssary and that millions are being
expended annually for pensions to
men who have no right to the
money. The cardinal principal
Of this organization is competency to
those permanently disabled or una bic

men vino can, either by their hands or
their brains, support themselves and
their families. The organization which
proposes this resolution in pension mat
ters had its inception in Washington,
where has been working for some time,
quietly but effectively. Ii is known as
the Society of Loyal Volunteers. The
association believes in teaching and
maintaining. among other things, these
lessons:
That the war was for the preserva-
zion OF the union and not for conquest
Or revenge: that the volunteer armies
were inspired by no hope of individual
gain or glory that many per-
sons as loyal and brave as those
~ho entered the service were
prevented from doing so by circum-
stances that did not hinder their COM

life with those who did not enter the
service: that many who sustained Sc

Prince George, Non Heir Presumptire.

Prince George, Nom Heir Presumptice
the prince has frequently rebeled
against naval career, and the clashing
between his wishes and those of his
father and the queen recently reached
a climax, the prince declaring that he
would not serve in the navy any longer
unless given 4 first-class command, as
he was tired of being an underling, es-
pecially in a service which was, even at
the best, distasteful to him as COM
pared with that of the army. The
change in his position which has now
occurred will. of course, cause greater
Difference to be paid to his wishes. and
he will. no doubt, soon be transferred
to a suitable rank in the army.
The characteristics OF the prince are
now being discussed with the interest
naturally felt in the personality of
probable future ruler of the people.
Among other things it is stated that
Prince George has a strong feeling of
antipathy for the newspaper press, re-
sembling in this respect the Duke of
Cambridge. He is honest and frank in
his manners, albeit rather rough.
In conversation he is anything
but refined. and makes fire.

ness with his position in life. Taken all
in all, the English people seem satisfied
that the line of royal succession, so far
as it is assured, is made up of good ma
