He did not favor the secular clergy,
and they, of course, disliked him &C.
cordingly. He suffered also at the hands
Of those who sought to operate the
reigning apparatus while his attention
was turned toward other matters.
He was the author Of the scheme
whereby he utilized his enemies, the
Welsh princes, by demanding 800 wolf
heads per annum as tribute instead of
money. This wiped out the wolves and
used up the surplus animosity Of the
Welsh.
AS the Welsh princes had no money,
the scheme was a good one. Edgar died
at the age of 80 and was succeeded by
Edward, his son, in 975.
The death Of the king at this early
age has given to many historians the
idea that he was a sad dog, and that he
sat up late Of nights and cut up like
everything, but this may not be true.
Death often takes the good, the true and
the beautiful while young.
However, Edgar's reign was a bril-
liant one for all Anglo-Saxon, and his
coonskin cap is said to have cost over a
pound sterling. BILL NYE.

state and one for study and devotion
but he invented the candle with a scale
on it as q timepiece, and many a subject
came to the throne at regular periods to
set his candle by the royal lights.
Think of those days when h SER
geant-at-arms of congress could not
turn back the clock in order to assist an
s~approprintion at the close of the session,
hut when the light went out the session
closed.
Athelstan succeeded his father, Ed
ward the Presiding Elder, and resem-
bled him a good deal by defeating the
Welsh, Scots and Danes. In those days
agriculture, trade and manufacturing
were diversions during the summer
months, but the regular business OF life
was warfare with the Danes, Scots and
Welsh.
These foes Of England could live east
ly for years ON oatmeal, SOU milk and
Gods heads, while the fighting clothes
of a whole regiment would have been a
scant wardrobe for the Greek slave, and
after two centuries Of almost uninter-
rupted carnage their war debt was only
a trife over SIS.
Edmund, the brother Of Ethelstan, at
the age of 10 succeeded his brother OH
the throne.
One evening, while a little hilarity
was going OH in the royal apartments,
Edmund noticed among the guests a
robber named Leolf, who had not been
invited. Probably he was a pickpocket,
and as a royal robber hated anybody
who dropped below grand larceny the
king ordered his retainers to put him
out.
BIT the retainers shrank from the un'
slertaking. Therefore Edmund sprans
from the throne like a tiger and buried
his talons in the robbers tresses. There
was u mixture of feet, legs, teeth ant
features for a moment, and when peace
was restored King Edmund had a watch
pocket full of blood and the robbie
chleftain was wiping his stabber on on
nof The royal tides.

land, the refractory district, and sent a
governor and garrison there to see that
the Danes paid attention to what he
said. St. Dunstan had considerable il
fuence over Edred and was promoted a
great deal by the king, who died ii the
year 955.
He was succeeded by Edwy the Fair,
who was opposed by another Ethel. Be
tween the Ethels and the Welsh and
Dane there was little time left in
England for golf or high tea, and Ed
wy's reign was short and full Of trouble.
He had trouble with st. Dullstall,
charging him with the embezzlement
Of church funds, ana compelled him to
leave the country. This was i'll retalia-
ton for ST.. Dullstan's overbearing Or
der to the king. One evening, when a
banquet was given him in honor Of his
coronation, the king excused himself
when the speeches got rather corky and
went into the sitting room to have a
chat with his wife, Elgiva, OF whom he
was very fond, and her mother. St.
Dunstan, who had still to make a speech
on foreign missions, with a yard or so Of
statistics, insisted on Edwy's return.
An open outbreak was the result. The
church fell upon the king with a loud,
annual report, and when the debris was
cleared away a little round shouldered
grave in the churchyard held all that
was mortal of the king. His wife was
cruelty and fatally assassinated, and
Edgar, his brother, began to reign.
This was in the yearA9 59 and in what
is now called the middle ages.

paid off the church debt, made Dunstan
archbishop Of Canterbury, helped reform
the church, and, though but 16 years Of
age when he removed all explosives from
the throne and seated himself there, he
showed that he had a massive scope,
and his subjects looked forward to much
anticipation.
He sailed around the island every
year to show the Danes how prosperous
he was and made speeches which dis
played his education
His coronation took place Is years
after his accession to the throne, owing
to the fact, as given out by some Of the
more modern historians, that the crOwn
was at Mr.. Isaac Inestein's all this
time, whereas the throne, which was
bought on the installment plan, had been
redeemed.
Pictures of the crown worn by Edgar
will convince the reader that it's re-
demption was no slight task, while the
mortgage on the throne was a mere
bagatelle.
A bright idea Of Edgar's was to ride
in a rowboat pulled by eight kings un-
der the old regime.
Personally Edgar was reputed to be
exceedingly licentious, but the historian
wisely says these stories may have been
the invention Of his enemies. Greatness
is certain to make of itself a target fol
the mud of it's own generation, and nc
one who rose above the level Of his

fragrant attentions Of those who nae

Recent Financial Collapse in Tint
city Results In II Tragedy.
CHICAGO Dec 27.-Sufferlng from de-
preston caused by financial reverses. Otto
Wasmansdorff, a well known banker of this
city, today fired a bullet into his brain and
died almost Instantly Banker Wasmans-
dorff killed himself in a front hall bedroom
at his home on Cleveland avenue at II
o'clock this morning. His sens, William G.
and Otto, jr., were in the parlor beneath
their fathers bedroom, heard the report of
the revolver and rushed upstairs. Run
ming to the room the Mortified sons beheld
their father lying on the bed, dying q
32-calibre revolver lying at his side. He
had shot himself in the right temple
from which a stream of blood was flowing
down his cheek. Everything in the room
was in perfect order. The deed apparently
had been deliberately plenned.
Mr.. Wasmansdorff was a member of the
private banking firm of Wasmansdorff e.
Hennemann, which failed a week ago as
a result of the failure of the National Pank
OF Illinois. The failure of the bank had
crushing effect upon MIR. WasmanSdorff
and also seriously affected his wife who is
i'll. The banker for several days was unable
to eat or sleep. The criticism of his deposi-
tors weighed him down and he was in a con-
stant troubled state of mind
This morning the banker appeared brighter
anu less lIOuDlSu III NulHG ludu upon any
other day since the financial crash that
ruined him After his breakfast with his
family with whom he chatted pleasantly,
he glanced over the morning papers. He
then engaged in a frOlic with his little
granddaughter, after which he retired to
his room. Fifteen minutes later the fatal
shot was heard by the two sons. The young
men were overcome with grief and said they
never had the slightest suspicion that their
father contemplated such an act. Mrs.
Wasmansdorf was prostrated by the shock.
At the time of the failure the assets of
Mr.. Wasmansdorff's bank were given at
$3.50 900 and the liabilities at S415,O0O. Mr..
Wasmansdorff had been a banker in this
city more than a quarter of a century and
during all that time he was a member of
the firm which went down in the crash last
Monday. He was of a retiring and un-
obstrusive nature and was known in the
business way as a conservative and honest
man, He was about 50 years of age.

Three Friends Latest Expedition
Wns PirnticaI Venture.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 27.-A special
to the Citizen from Tampa says: The develop
ments in Cuban circles today have been
startling, and the actors in the recent sea
tragedy who were on board the Three
Friends are badly frightened over the gravity
of the situation in which they have been
involved They find themselves instead of
being in a dangerous position as flibusters,
to be in the unenviable position of pirates,
and the wisest Cuban heads have been sum
mOned in consultation. Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Scott Wikc was at Key
West investigating the matter, but the alb
sence of a district attorney at that place
made detention q farce.
Mr.. Wike stopped at Jacksonville yester-
day afternoon and censured the district at
torney there for having no representation at
Key West He arrived here this morning
and has been in consultation with the col
lector OF customs. This morning the affair
presented the following aspect: Denial had
been made OF the story by officials of the
Three Friends. Their silence was an admis-
sion. In that case Spain may make requisi-
tion upon this government for the persons
who were aboard, and this government has
no alternative but their delivery MIR. Wike
is to leave tomorrow on the cutter Forward
for Key West where the fullest possible
details of the serious situation will be OBJ
tanned.
When the Olivette arrived this afternoon
Colonel Emilio NuneZ, Carrillo and several
other Cubans were on board Captain o. OBrien
of the Three Friends also was a passenger.
Colonel Nunez admitted the story Of the en-
gagement was true and appeared particularly
proud. He had been the custodian of all the
recent expeditions. When they learned Of
Assistant Secretary Wilkes presence the
boasting changed to CONSERVATION as the
light in which they were regarded dawned
upon them.
Nunez and the Cubans came to Tampa to
consult with the leading Cubans. They left
for Jacksonville tonight where they go to
confer with the owners of the Three Friends.
Francis Lynde Stetson, President Cleve-
lands former law partner, was at Port
Tampa today. When this was learned it
was said he had been sent as special
emissary to look into the case. This halped
TO increase the fright of the Cubans The
Three Friends left Key West today for Jack

information about his brother, and was
told that early Saturday morning a man an

account of himself. He was taken TO the
receiving hospital and put TO bed. Later
he appeared TO have recovered, and as the
hospital attaches had no authority TO hold
him, he was discharged. Lord was found
at the ferry depot late this afternoon by a
detective and turned over to the custody Of

KANSAS FARMER COMMITS MURDER

ATCHISON, Dec. 27-E. Ii. Graham, a
wealthy farmer living near Cummings, ten
miles west of here, this morning shot and
killed Jake Hopkins one of his farm hands.
Graham met Hopkins on the principal street
OF Cummings, cried out to him TO defend him
self and then shot him dead, Hopkins wac
not armed. Graham accuses Hopkins Of
having stolen $l25 from him, but their
neghbom Will not believe the accusation,
and state that Hopkins was TO have married
the farmers daughter within a month, much
against Grahams Will, and that this un-
doubtedly led to the shooting. A crowd OF
farmers gathered at Cummings, threaten
ing to handle the murderer roughly but
Graham hastened on toward Atchlson, and
meeting the sheriff on the road gave himself
