4 Victim Of the Queens Ethics,

The sudden death OF Sir John
Thorn Pson, the Canadian premier,
according to information from an au-
thoritative source communicated to
the World correspondent, which
leaves no room for doubt, was d.
rectly due to the tedious formalities
attending the royal council at Wind
sor. The session was abnormally
long. lasting 1 hour and 25 min
utes, during the whole of which
time. according to usage, all present
save the queen were compelled to
remain standing in respectful atti-
tude without moving. This severe
strain told on the youngest and most
robust OF the courtiers present, and
comp otely exhausted the Canadian
premier. When released to the coun-
Gil chamber he staggered to a chair.

alarm. He Immediately became
sick and died in seven minutes. The
accou ,ts of his death were toned
down for the public in order to obvi-
ate the true conclusion that this dis
tinguished official was a martyr to
the queens insisting upon rigorous
observance Of royal forms. When
Mr.. Gladstone. the late prime minis
ter Of Great Britain, expressed ina
bility to bear the fatigue, he was per-
mittcd to sit during the royal func-
tions at Windsor, but the queen new

the Ohio legislature and secured the en-
actmcnt of a number of laws in the inter
csts Of labor. In 1886 he was nominated

state labor commissioner under Governor
Campbell for two years, and in 1898 was
