CTRIKES terror to the bravest heart,

has been too thoughtless or careless to
cover his property, at least in part, by

You should not take any chances on
having your all destroyed without hope
of being able to replace it. The risk is
more than counterbalanced by the mental
suffering you experience each time the
cry of fire is heard, even though you never
have fire. Insure your property and
insure it in company that will pay the
loss, if there be any, as cheerfully as it will
receive your premiums. That's the kind
we represent. five write your insurance

is the oldest in town, having been estab-

Alfred of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha, eldest
SON and heir of. the duke of Saxe-Co-
burg Gotha (more generally known as
the duke of Edinburgh, according to

The little monarch of the Dutch is

founded by the great William of Mas

Prince Alfred, the reported bride

OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
1885, He has sat for Carlisle since 1885.
Mr.. Gully is liberal, supporting Mr..
Giadstone's Irish policy.
Mr.. Gully will get an annual salary
of $4,000 (s25, OOO), a pension of $4,000
(s20,O00) afterward, even If he occupies
the chair only an hour, and peerage,
with precedence meanwhile as ''the
first commoner in England"
The little known story of his antece-
dents makes his advancement romantic.
His grandfather, the New York World
correspondent is informed, was in
youth well-known prize fighter, but
by his innate ability he recommended
himself not only beyond the prize ring
but in later life to parliament.
His son, the father of the present
member, was distinguished physician,
but became involved in the celebrated
Bravo poisoning case of twenty years
ago. Mrs. Florence Bravo, young and
handsome, was tried for poisoning her
husband, rich and elderly barrister.
The prosecution suggested that her
motive was desire to marry DIR. Gully.
The doctor died only yearo or two ago,
but he retired from practice after this
trial. His son had large legal prac-
tice. He is greatly esteemed for his
lofty character, and has the dignifed,
imposing presence considered indis-
pensable in the speaker of the house of
commons.

rarely does, when she is born in the

more reason, then, why the little
queen should have her fling early and

a Man Drawn Into the Air by Kite
and Dropped Into q River.
WINoNA (Minn.), Aug. l6.-A peculiar
accident, which came near ending the
earthly career of Charles Barber of this
city, occurred here last evening during a
kite-fying contest. These contests have
been growing in interest for some time
past. In consequence the kites have k kept
growing in sze
Mr.. Barber appeared with one measur-
ing nearly eight feet from top to bottom.
and with the assistance OF couple of
friends he proceeded to fly it. After the
kite was we'll in the air Barber fastened
the rope by which it was held around his
body.
No sooner had he done this than the
friends who were aiding him let 60 the
cord. Mr.. Barber was dragged along the
ground for some rods and then lifted
bodily into the air. The kite pulled him
up into the air over fifteen feet, and then
the wind seemed to die away. In a few
minutes he was dropped into the river.
Tied as he was to the kite, Barber could
not sink, and in a short time he was res
oued by a man with boat.

Important Questions Brought Up In
the Commons.
LONDON, Aug. 16.-In the House Of
Commons to-day Walter Hume, Presi-
dent of the London Agricultural Society,
in reply to a question asked by +. j.
Price, said he was aware that many per-
sons desired that the Government allow
the importation of Canadian cattle. but
the interests of the farmers generally i'm
peratively demanded that every safe
guard be taken against the Introduction
of disease. He would, therefore, insist
that Canadian cattle be slaughte at the
port at which they were landed. Mr..
Long added that az recently as July 10Th
two animals that had been landed from
Canada were found to be infected with
ro-pneunonia
Replying TO questions asked on the
subject. George CurZon, Under Secretary
of Foreign Affairs, said it would not lee
advisabl to raise the question of money
compensation for the murder of mission
aries in China until punishment had been
meted out TO the guilty persons, which
was regarded as of primary importance.
The House then debated the address in
reply to the Queens speech. The amend
ment made last night by John Dillon to
the amendment proposed by William
Redmond was rejected by vote of 257
to 126.
Mr.. Redmond's amendment called
upon the Government to declare their
policy in regard TO the home rule for Ire
land aud also in regard to the reform
of the land law, the compulsory purchase
of land the evicted tenants and the in
duslrial condition of Ireland. Mr.. Dill
Ions amendment demanded immediate
legislation in relation to judicial rents.
John J. Clarey (Parnellite) moved an
amendment to the address providing am
nesty for political prisoners.
Sir Matthew White Bidley, Secretary
OF State for Home Affairs, said the Gov
erntnent would make thorough exami-
nation of the cases of the prisoners whose
release was asked for, but he did not
doubt but that the decisions OF his pre-
decessor in Office, the Right Hon. II. Ii.
AsQuIth were entirely right.
John Redmond and Timothy Harring-
ton. in pleased manner, compared
Home Secretary Bidley's kindly tone and
MIR. Asquith's .'non-possumus,' declar-
ing that it could not be said now, as for
merry, that the prison doors were shut
with clang.
Gerald W. Balfour, Chief Secretary for
Ireland, deprecated the assumption that
he would not continue the policy adopted
by his predecessor The same principles
as regards grave otfenses against the law
that had governed MIR. Morley's acts
would govern him.
MIR. Balfour was followed in the debate
on the address by Mr.. Asquith and at
the conclusion of his remarks the amend
mont was withdrawn.

REMARKABLE GATHERING.
PARIS. Aug 16.-The gathering at Mars
La Tour to-day was a remarkable one.
Many people have been arriving for days
from all parts of France, and many have
come from abroad, among them a party
of cadets from the Woolwich Royal Mill
tary Academy. The Bishop of Nancy
this forenoon celebrated mass on the bat
tle-feld.
Among the incidents of the day was a
procession from Bruville, three miles dis
tant, through the ravine where the battle
was the most severe.
The German visitors were treated with
dignified coldness, but no active hostili-
tics were displayed toward them. Before
the visitors crossed the frontier the Ger
man police repeated to them the ad vice
contained in the recently issued Govern
ment document. Their words seemed to
make a deep impression, and the veterans
accordingly removed the German in
sigma rom their breasts. They ad-
vanced with barred heads toward the in
habitants, who saiuted the soldiers with
politeness. They were received with evil
dent surprise. The German monuments
remained without decoration until this
evening, the Wreaths which it was iu-
tended TO place on them having been left
at the frontier. They were placed on tie
monuments later.
A German monument at point $50
yards from the frontier was dedicated to-
day. The cheers of those present at the
ceremonies were distinctly heard on the
French side of the line.
A Gordon of gendarmes and custom
house guards guarded the frontier
all day. Civilians were allowed
to pass the frontier freely, but the
French soldiers had orders not to enter
