ALEXANDER rs KING.
Bloodless Coup dEtat of Servia's
Youthful Monarch.

A bloodless coup detat was affected at
Belgrade, Servia, the other night, and King
Alexander I. the youthful ruler of Servia,
who had heretofore governed the country
through Regents, now rules in his own name.
A grand banquet was given at the palace to
celebrate King Alexander's success in pass
ing the examination prescribed for Servian
students. NJ. Ristics and General Belimark-
OWE, the Regents, and all the Ministers of
State, were present. as were a large number
of friends and supporters of the Regents.
Unsuspectlngly the Regents and Ministers
attended the banquet, and while they were
enjoying themselves at the palace detach
ments OF soldiers and bodies of police took
possession of the Minister'S houses and occu-
pied the Government buildings.
At midnight while the festivities were
still in progress, King Alexander proclaimed
that he had obtained his majority and that
he had assumed, with the Skupshtina, the
governments of the country.
As matter of fact the King had not at
tanned his majority. According TO the Ser
Wan law he does not become of aga until he
is eighteen years old, and as he was born
August IA, 1876, he will not be eighteen for
considerably over year.
The King and his advisers acted with great
promptitude, and soldiers who were in wait
ing, at once placed the Regents and Min
listers under arrest and they were sent to
rooms which had been prepared for them in
the palace, where they were placed under
guard. The Servian army is loyal to the
King.

The Extraordinary Session at Wash
inEton Comes to- an End.

inTtOn Comes to- an End.
The extra session of the United States
Senate came to q close at p. m. a few days
ago. It required hard fighting and good
management to bring about this result
Most of the time was consumed by Senators
Platt Mills and Hawley IN debate over the
Roach inquiry resolution.
At the suggestion of Mr., Manderson
the recent famous decisions OF JUICES
Speer. Kicks and Taft, as to the rights and
duties of railroad employees, were ordered to

BALANCE OF TRADE.
1t Continues to Turn Against the
United States.

The adverse turn of the balances Of trade
against the United States continues to be
shown by the figures of the Bureau of Stat
istics at Washington. The total exports OF
breadstuffs for last month were $13, 500, 600.
For the corresponding month of 1892 they
were S23, or 900, a falling off for the month
of SO, 206, 900.
Fer the nine months ending March, 1898,
the exports OF breadstuffs were Sl45, O32, 900.
For the corresponding nine months in the
previous fiscal year they were Sa33, l59. 900,
a falling off in nine months of $SS, l27, OO0
The decrease in the expectation o. hog,
beef and dairy products has been almost
equally marked. For tine month OF March
last the exports of these products were
IS. 231, COO; for the corresponding month of
1892. $II, 523, 900, falling off Of s., 292, 000
For the nine months ending March 81 the
exports of these products were So, 800, OJ0;
TOR the corresponding niue montas o. the
previous fiscal year S35, $4,000, falling off
Of $6,6S3, 900.

There Is more catarrn IN this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years supposed to
be incurable For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it ~
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses from
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

Abraham Whipple.

DIR. Hildreth in his Memoirs Of
the Early Settlers of Ohio" devotes
a chapter to Abram Whipple, of
Rhode Island. He was born in
1888, and was one of the first to
take a hand in the revolutionary
war. In 1856 he was elected a rep
resentative to the legislature from
the town of Cranston. The advo-
Gates of the paper-money system
were then in power, and had chosen
Othniel Gorton, clumsy old man
for speaker. Gorton was i'll the
habit of keeping large quid of to-
bacco in one side Of his mouth,
which pressed out one of his cheeks.
Most of the debaters were on the
opposite side of the hall from that
Oh which Commodore Whipple sat,
and the speakers face was common
ly turned that way. Once in the
course of the debate, Whipple had
cogitated speech, which he waited
for an opportunity to deliver. At
last, out of patience, he rose and
called: "Mr. Speaker The speak
er, whose face was turned the other
way, did not hear him. He raised
his voice to it's utmost: "Mr. Speak
er" Gorton started, and, turning
to the commodore, said: III hear
you" Thereupon Whipple began:
II wish, Mr.. Speaker, you would
shift your quid Of tobacco from
your starborad to your larboard jaw,
that it might give your head cant
this way, so that you could some
times hear something from this side
of the house." Then he went on
with his speech.

A Long Rope.

Thomas Carlyle once said that
scarcely any book is so poor that
something cannot be learned from
it. With equal truth it may be said
that no industry is too humble to be
interesting. There is nothing, for
example, more prosaic than a rope,
or that enters into greater number
of homely occupations, and yet in
the march of labor-saving invention
a rope-making machine is one of the
last OH the list. So long, indeed,
did rope-making remain one of the
manual arts that the name of the
place where the work was done has
become ingrained in popular speech;
and the rope factory, though III no
way meriting the appellation, is still
called the ''rope-walk."
Formerly it was considered a fact
Alpena argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1893-1909, 1893-08-02

worthy ofnote that the government
rope-walk at Boston could turn out
a rope 1920 feet long.
A young workman i'll rope-walk
saw that the twist should be applied
to the rope instead of the strands,
if machinery was to take the place
of the hand in rope-making; and he
realized fame and fortune from the
conception. His opportunity came
with the proposition to grapple for
the broken ends of the Atlantic sub
marine cable in the sos.
A rope fully twelve thousand feet
long was required for the graphing,
but the task of making one of this
unheard-of-length could not be UNI
dertaken seriously by any rope
maker then in the business.
At this iuncture the young man,
John Good by name, came forward
with apropostion to build machine
ny from his own designs and make
IL rope in one piece as long as was
wanted.
The offer seemed IA bold one, but
it was accepted, the machinery built,
the rope made, the break in the ca
bic found and repaired and tele-
graphic communication established
between the old world and the new.
