A King Pockets Cake.

When the royal family moved t.
San Sebastian recently from the
Spanish capital, luncheon, as usual,
was given by the city in honor of the
guests. AS the repast was served at
3 o'clock King Alfonso was not hun
cry. In order to show his apprecia-
tion of the action OF his subjects,
however, and to provide against con
tingencies, he took two of the best
pieces of cake from a plate, and re-
marking to neighbor, ''They are for
after WHILE" placed them in his
pocket. This childish action greatly
pleased the people of San Sebastian.

That love, we cry, is crueGr than hate.
And then, ah me, when love has ceased to
bless,
Our broken hearts cry out for tenderness
We long for tenderness like that which
hung
About US, lying on our mothers breast;
selfish feeling that no pen or tongue
Can praise Alright, since silence sings it
best.

ing what does this Addicks movement

Addicks will repeat his effort of 1899 in
laying down his check for $4,000? For
this is fact that cannot be contradicted,
as one of the Republicans, high in poll
tics, told the writer that it was positive
fact at the time the offer was made, as
he was present.
Now, it will be disgrace on our
State to sell seat in the United States

was led by Charles II. Atkins, h. L.

downed one of Senator Higgins ex-

carried the hundred for Addicks by 40

We people cannot understand why
the Republican leaders have no pride in

to call halt and check Mr.. Addicks,
Delaware has never been known to put

SAN Francisco, CAL, Sept 1S.-The
bark Helen M. Alpiy, just returned
from trading voyage among the
Islands of the South Pacific, brings the
story of a tropical princess, half Eng
lish and half native, who rules over the
Manua groups against her wishes,
though her subjects worship her.
Francis Young. sailor who landed
at the Island of Tau, nearly 100 years
ago, married Tau native woman who
was queen of the group His son by her
welded half.breed maiden, Margaret,
the present queen, is the daughter of
that son.
Through the death of all the heirs
apparent to the throne of the Manuas,
Miss Young, then at Apla pursuing her
studies in a Catholic convent, was forced
by the laws of hereditary obtaining in
the Southern Archipelago to accompany
them back to Tau, where she was i'm
mediately installed as queen.
Captain Luttrell of the Almy, and his
wife, who accompanied him on his last
trip, were the first white people per-
mitted to interview the Queen, and
obtained from her the story that her life
was one Of misery, in spite of the pro-
fessionai respect shown her by her
native subjects. She is compelled to
maintain an odious reserve, the sanctity
of her dwelling being rigidly preserved
by fierce warriors who stand ready to
decapitate the intruder who dares to
enter the Queens sacred presence with
out first being especially appointed by
the spirit fires and summoned by q
council Of chiefs
"fhe grand chief Of the group is the
only man that is allowed to approach
the queen" explained Captain Luttrell.
"Ile attends to her wants, assisted by
two maids who never leave her sids,
except when they are called upon to d.
her bidding. Should any native desire
TO pay tribute to her in the shape of fish
or fowl, he must fasten his gift upon the
end of bamboo pole, advance with
closed eyes and thrust the stick through
the doorway of the palace. Queen
Margery, as we will term her, is not
allowed TO walk outside of her cabins
limits. She must be carried on litter
by her maids and when she ventures
forth upon such a journey subjects are
ordered under pain of death to keep
hidden in their respective domiciles."
The captive queen explained to Lut-
trell that she desired TO be freed but had
never dared to say so to those who held
her prisoner She explained that her
subjects were kind-hearted and meant
to cause her no unhappiness, but they
rellgiously followed the customs of their
ancestors in acting as they do toward
her. She is but 20 years OF age.

LEWIS BUILDlNa oOND EMyED.
Building Inspector Dohl Orders the
Shnky Old Structure at seventh and
Market Streets Taken Down

Building Inspector Dohl Orders the
Shaky Old Structure AT seventh and
Market Streets Taken Down.
Building Inspector Daniel DOLL has
ordered the old Lewis Building, at the
southeast corner of Seventh and Market
streets, taken down. The Lewis Build.
ing is one of the Oldest Of the larger
buildings in the city. 1t was erected in
1922. 1t has long been in an extreme
condition Of dilapidation, and has all
along been watched by the various
building officials for the past decade or
two. Looking at the structure from the
opposite side of Market street, it is
obvious TO the most casual observer that
something had to be done and that very
soon, The brick work along the second
story windows has zigzagged out OF
position, and there are perpendicular
cracks in the walls.
Some time ago the knights Of Pythias
purchased the building of the Lewis
estate for the sum of $4,000, and it is
stated, sold it again to local syndicate
for $4,000 less. 1t is not known what
future disposition will be made of it.
Doubtless, however, it is one Of the
most eligible building locations in the
city.

CULTURE OF M UsIC.


There seems TO DO "a movement rnvortng
It's Introduction in the Public Schools.
Charles Baird, president of the Board
OF Education when spoken to in regard
to the proposed introduction of music
in the public schools expressed himself
as favoring the proposition to give
musical culture trial. He was of the
opinion that the plan was feasible one
and that the matter would probably
receive full consideration from the
board in case it was laid before that
body for discussion. Further than this
he was non-committal.
Samuel II. Baynard, member from
the Sixth ward, who is always ready to
support any measure that will advance
the interests of the public schools spoke
favorably regarding the proposition and
is anxious that the matter receive
the earnest consideration of the
members of the board. Like Presi.
dent Baird he would like to hear the
matter discussed in the board. 1t will
probably come up for discussion at a
meeting in the near future when an ex-
preston of opinion from the members
will test the sentiment in regard to the
subject in that body.
1t is argued that children who have
not the necessary advantages to secure
for them musical training in their own
homes should have the opportunity to
study music in the public schools, it hav-
ing been shown that it can be introduced
in the schools at moderate cost. A con-
sentative estimate of the expenditure
necessary for this purpose is about 81 for
| each student In q school of 45O students
the pro rata cost will not be over 81,
and this includes all material used in
the instruction of music.
The public have become to look upon
the matter as feature which in time
will be permanently established in the
public schools of the country.
