wire, fashioned very much like the body
of an ordinary baby carriage. A fine
parasol was rugged up over the basket,
and then the other wheel was attached
by means of nickeled cross bars at
front and rear. 1t is practically double
four-wheeled bike, not easily tilted over.
The nurse Is a French girl, who has
taken to her new work like a duck does
to water. She wears a very fetching
costume, which, while 1t proclaims her
vocation, does not detract from her fine
appearance. The gown is simply made
of dark brown wooden stuff, the skirt
reaching to a point just below the knee.
She wears tight-fitting leggings of the
same color, short white apron and a
white bonnet with long streamers, which
flap gayly in the breeze.
Every fair morning she is out with the
baby in Seventy-second street riding be-
tween Amsterdam avenue and the Riv-
erside drive. The baby is boy about a
year old and he seems to enjoy the sport
immensely. Owing to the crowded condi-
ton of the street, the "bking nurse" as
she has come to be known, does not ap-
pear in the afternoon, but the baby is out
on the street in an ordinary carriage pro-
PEELED by another nurse.
If that baby does not grow into an
alarming kind of cyclist in later years it
will not be the fault of fond and generous
parents.

AN UNHAPPY QUEEN
King Leopold's Wife Tries to End Her Mis-
cry by Self Destruction.

King Leopold's Wife Tries to End Her Mis-
cry by Self-Destruction
1t lis now known that the malady which
prevented the unhappy queen of the Bel
gians from being present at the wedding
of her niece Is the result Of an attempt to
commit suicide last autumn at Spa. Tt
was stated at the time that she had re-
ceived a fracture of the jaw through
fall from her horse. The publicity of
King Leopold's intrigues with Emilenne
d'Alencon and Mile. De Merode, both of
whom he has brought from Paris and es-
tablished in a most sumptuous fashion
at Brussels, has probably been the main
cause of the queens act. Then, too, she
is distressed beyond measure by the
knowledge that her husband has squan-
dered in his Congo enterprise the entire
fortune of his demented sister, Ex-Em-
press Charlotte of Mexico, who inherited
from her father nearly $l5,O00.000. This
poor Empress Charlotte is the only other
lady of royal rank in modern times whose
misery has been of such intensity as to
drive her to attempt suicide. She made
the attempt at the vatican in the pres
ence of Pope Plus TX by swallowing poi
son. Fortunately medical assistance was
within reach: antidotes were admins
tered, and after spending the night in
the apartments of the pontiff, which he
abandoned to her for the time, she was
sufficiently recovered on the following
day to be conveyed to her hotel

Leighton News.
1t Is not true that Captain Johnston is
an enemy of the administration, but only
opposes its financial system. 1t is not
true that he courts populism, but only
desires the return of those democrats
who have been misled by the populists
into believing that the democratic party
was corrupt and that they were the party
of reform. 1t Is not true that he has
given the cold shoulder to the sound
money democrats and will ignore their
just demands. 1t is not true that he con-
dennis the whole democratic platform.
1t Is true that he wants silver restored
to it's legitimate position as a standard
money. 1t Is true that he wants these
questions settled within the party. He
is man with the courage of his con-
victions. He has made the fight before
the people upon those convictions; they
Endorsed him in April and they will in
dorse him in August. Those democrats
who have wandered from the house Of
their fathers he invites back, and they
are coming, shouting for Joe and 1.-The
old silver dollar, the silver dollar is good
enough for me."-Cullman Gazette.
Nothing comes to us over the wire of
the action of our state convention, but
from this distance we can see and rec
ognize Capt. Joseph r. Johnston as our
next chief executive. He was nominated
Tuesday, and, to quote what we said
about him some weeks ago when his pic-
ture was given in this paper, che will be
elected in August by majority which
no man can question" This is but the
fulfillment of prophecy, and it is source
of pleasure to us to know that there Is
no great gulf fixed between him and the
people, as there was between Lazarus
and the rich man spoken of in holy writ
From this distance we can also see and
hear the jingling of q free silver platform
at the ratio of 16 to 1, adopted for the
great commoner to stand upon--a plat
form which Father Abraham, who re-
ceiyed the beggar in his bosom and made
him sit down to the heavenly banquet,
had he been in the convention would
have supported with much enthusiasm.
Again, and at a still greater distance,
we can see these sentiments on the sound
money of our ancestors being embodied
in the national platform at Chicago, and
in November we feel sanguine they will
be Endorsed with an overwhelming ma
jority at, the general election. Line up,
friends-line UP, everybody-and let us
make it unanimous.-Moulton Advertise

Death of a Pioneer

We regret to announce the death
of Frederick Horn, which took
place last night at his residence on
Hotel street.
The deceased had been seriously
i'll for the last two years, victim
of Bright's disease and trouble of
the heart, and his peaceful death
was release from his sufferings.
Mr., Horn was born in Dresden,
Saxony in 1926 and was 70 years old
at his demise. He arrived here in
the early part of the fifties and
opened a small store as confectioner
on King street. Later he moved to
Hotel street where he for many
years has conducted a bakery bust
ness, which yet enjoys the best
patronage of tho town. During the
last two years the business has been
attended to by Mrs. Horn and her
sons.
The deceased was hard working
man and was greatly respected by
the many kamaainas who knew him
He was a member of Oahu Lodge
K of p. and 1. o. of Red men.
His funeral will take place from
St. Andrews Cathedral this after
noon at 4 o'clock. Mrs. Horn and
her children have the sympathy Of
the community in their sad bereave.

rare Hawaiian stamps from Walter

country. This acquisition consisted
of labels known as Hawaiian nu-
merals, and permits Mr. Crocker to
justly boast of having one of the
best collections Of Hawaiian stamps
in the United States.
Among the rarities that Mr..
