STORIES OF NASR-ED-DIN,
Peculiarities Of the Persian Tyrant
Who Was Killed Recently.
European Monarchs Did Not Like His
Table Manners-Used an Empress
Lap for . Bone Dish - His
Probable Successor.

Nasr-ed-Din, the murdered Persian
monarch, was the fourth of the dynasty
of the Kajars, which came into pos
session Of the Persian throne just 102
years ago. 1t was only after q great
civil war which lasted II years, dating
from 1910, that the enemies of the Ka-
jars were overthrown, and the arms OF
the conquerors won the great victory
which established the present reigning
family. Nasr was born on July 1s, 1881,
or on Safar, 1247, Parsee calendar.
He was the oldest son of Muhammed
Shah, and succeeded to the crown on
the death of his father, September 10,
1S4S. The coronation ceremonies took
place on October 20.
He was the absolute ruler of the coun-
try, his official title, following out the
tradition of his ancestors, being "Shah-
inshah," which means king of kings
He was, as were his predecessors and
Of the lives and goods of all his subjects.
The entire revenue of the country being
at their disposal, the shahs have been
able to amass a tremendous private
fortune. Nasr was said to have been
worth at least $30,6O0,000 Most of this
vast wealth is in the form of diamonds.
The great Derya-i-Nur, one of the finest
diamonds in the world, weighs 1856
carats, and the Taj-i-Mah weighs 146
carats. These two precious stones are
the principal jewels of the crown.
The shah leaves very large family,
but they are pretty well provided for.
His successor will be Muzafered-Din.
The new monarch was born in 1853,
and has four sons and Is daughters.
The dead shah leaves six sons and IA
daughters. The royal family is very
numerous. There are some thousands
Of princes and princesses, but the Off
cial yearbook mentions only three
brothers, two sisters, 140 uncles, great
uncles and cousins.
The crown of Persia is not hereditary.
1t has ever been within the power Of
the shah to alter or override existing
laws Of succession and to leave his

urday morning, He was taken from the
county Jail by an armed mob and hung
to tree close by. Cooking was charged
with the murder of his wife and sster-in-
law several months ago.
Cooking was brought to Baltimore
April q In order TO escape the vengeance
OF the mob and was returned to tho
Charles county authorities May 81, as his
trial had been set for the day following.
His counsel asked for two weeks extern
sion of time which was refused and upon
the usual affidavits the case was removed
TO an adjoining county and would have
come up for trial in September.

The plan for the lynching was hatched
at ball game which took place at Hill
top, the scene Of the murder, Friday after
noon. The lynching party met shortly
before midnight. All were masked and
about fifteen wore women's dresses They
awoke an old colored man, Washington
Burch, who had charge of the Jail. He
made some show Of resistance but finally
delivered over the keys.
Cooking, who had been aroused by the
noise was taken from the Jail to bridge,
200 yards away, where IA rope with moose
was placed around his neck and he was
told to confess. but he said that he was
innocent Then he was directed to pray,
but said that he did not want TO pray.
The rope was then made fast TO the rail Of
the bridge and the murderer was lifted to
the rail and pushed of. He fell ten feet.
The party then dispersed, leaving the
body dangling with the feet Just reaching
the water beneath the bridge.
