til the two daughters Of the Prince and
Princess were married, they, as we'll
as their still unmarried sister, Vic.

footmen each to attend exclusively to
their service, one man being always on

HIS HOME AN IRON CAGE.
PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT THE Es.
CAPE OF CAPTAIN DREYFUs.

serving Life Sentence on a Lonely Isl.
ana on tho Coast of French Guiana
Ills Hut Surrounded bv Double
Limo Of impossible Iron Ratings
Attention has been attracted once
again to the unfortunate ex-Captain
Dreyfus, now undergoing lifelong
captivity on the desolate and fever
stricken Island of the Devil, off the
coast OF French Guiana, by the an
aouncement in the official organ of
Colonial Department at Paris that in
inc presence of the Governor of
French Guiana and number of the
personages from Cayenne the unhappy
prisoner was removed to gigantic
sort OF iron cage, which has been con-
structed at the expenditure of some
s2o.oOo or $50, 900 by a couple Of hun.
'red convict laborers, who have
worked in relays day and night for the
past six months in order to get it
ready. 1t consists of,a double line Of
lofty iron ratings about twenty feet
ugh, with a sort of frieze or barbed
arrangement at the top to prevent any
one climbing over, a distance of sew.
e eral feet intervening between the two
INES OF railing. 1t is inside the SPOT
thus Gagged in that his hut is placed.
ana from now on whatever exercise he
takes will necessarily be within the
clrcumscrlbed limit of those iron bars.
This will effectually prevent him
from committing suicide by casting
himself into the sea, which he has
had lots of opportunity of doing until |
now, MS one pastime having been to
SIT at the waters edge and gaze to.
ward the horizon. From henceforth
he will be debarred even from this.
and it is difficult to conceive anything
more horrible than this punishment.
FOR he has no books, no writing ma.
Ferla:, and no labor to perform, while
wife and children, to whom he is
9asslonately attached, have remained
behind in France, and are not permit
ed to communicate with him in anv
shape or fashion. The object of the
age IS to prevent clandestine inter.
course between the prisoner and his
many powerful friends on both sides
II the Atlantic who are firmly con.
inced of his innocence; and, at the
anne time, to guard against the pos
Utility Of his escape, which appears
. be the one nightmare, not only of s

Retrospect.
From the Philadelphia Times.

Less than three months now remain
before the celebration of Queen Vic
toria's diamond jubilee, and Londoners
are busy in anticipation Of the coming
event Although the route which the
procession will follow on June 22 has
not been officially announced. 1t is gem
orally assumed that it will be similar,
so far as the first part of il is con-
cerned, TO that followed ten years ago,
when the ceremony took place at West
minister Abbey. on this assumption
houses and windows along the route
have already been let at what seem
enormous figures. but when one con-
siders that as much as whole years
rental was the universal rate for a
single day at the Cars coronation in
Moscow last year, and that notwith-
standing the barbaric splendor of that
eastern pageant, it could not compare
in point of historic interest with the
commemoration of the longest reign of
the half hundred sovereigns who have
ruled over Great Britain since the time
of Alfred the Great, the sum of $1,000
for one of the best houses on Piccadilly,
and $3.50 for a window capable of ac-
commodating five people does not seem
so very ruinous.

BEGINS ON SUNDAY.

The commemoration will commence
on Sunday, June 20, when religious SER
vices will be held in every church the
world over where the British flag flies.
Monday, June 81, is what is known as
accession day, but at the Queens sug-
gestion the many celebrations will be
deferred until the following day, when
her sixty years reign will have been
actually completed and a new epoch
entered upon.
London's population is over six mill
lions and it is estimated that there will
be one million visitors staying there
during the entire jubilee week, besides
perhaps half million more who will
come in and return home the same day.
There will be special performances at
the theatres, and the town will be mag
nificently illuminated in the evening,
but undoubtedly the chief attraction to
the visitors will be the procession from
buckingham Palace to ST. Paul's Cathe-
dral in the morning and it's return in
the afternoon.
Special preparations have been made
to provide children with a good view of
the procession. Queen Victoria's love
for the little ones is prOverbial and per-
haps one of the prettiest episodes of the
day will be the presentation by the
children of England of an appropriate
Gift to her Majesty.
The Queen will drive in an open car
riage drawn by twelve cream-colored
horses. BY her side will be the Prin-
cess of Wales and for her escort she
will have the princes of all the reign
ing houses of Europe. An additional
and what will no doubt be a popular
| escort will be formed of a detachment

WHAT HE HAD LOST.
He Knew by Experience How Much
Could BE Lost.

w, j. Kountz, Jr., is telling one
which he says is vouched for by Chas.
O. Kalman, treasurer of the Chicago
and Great Western road, st. Paul 1t
is as follows:
When the first Rockefeller whale
back was launched at Duluth the event
was celebrated in grand style. A spe-
cial train was run from st. Paul TO Du-
luth, and among the different organiza-
tiOns on board was one of those bad
German bands. The excursion arrived
in Duluth at noon and the programme
was carried out to the letter. Just be-
fore the special left on the return trip
at 7 o'clock the next morning a per-
fectly round Dutchman rolled up to the
gate From all appearances he hadn't
been to bed at all.
Tickets" demanded the lgatemAn.
The German goes through his clothes
with no result and anwers, 81 ain't
got no dicket. "Oh, yes you have!
The rest of your band just went
through minute ago and they all had
tickets. Look again!" After another
fruitless search the Teuton reiterated
his former statement. You must have
1t somewhere" insists the gateman,
who was fast losing patience, "You
couldn't have lost it2"
Couldn't have lost it," yelled the
German. Couldn't have lost it? Mein
Gott, i lost me a bass drum!"

SYNOPSIS.

Great speculation is rife in Drumtochty
as to how and where the approaching
marriage of Kate Carnegie, an Eplscopa-
lian, and John Carmichael the Free Kirk
minister. will be celebrated. The problem
81 tremendous and absorbing one TO the
people, until Kate settles the matter by
asking DIR. Davidson, the minister of the
parish O2stablishedD church, to perform
the cermony. This presents new dHl-
Guilty to Johli, the parish Boadle. How
shall the Free Kirk brethren, who needs
must come to their minister's wedding, be
seated? Since the religious movement of
1913. some thirty years before, which re-
suited in the establishment of the Free
Kirk, none Of the dissCnters had ever set
foot within the parish church, but Of
course the ancestral family pews are still
there, and John evolves the plan of having
tho Free kirkers occupy their ancestral
pews on this occasion. This is settled on,
but kept secret between John and DR..
Davidson. But another question still
reNes the good Beadle, and he appeals to
DR.. Davidson again. VIII the Free Kirk
Eeadle want to act as colleague at the
wedding?
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-05-03

satisfied that 1t was In all things eX-
actly as it ought to have been. For
one thing, Kate was not a girl likely
to have many friends among young
women, for reasons which q man can
quite understand, but is not bound
in any way to state, and she had not
been like herself with half a dozen
(no doubt quite charming) bridesmaids
at her heels. Instead, therefore, what
did she do but ask the dear old Colonel
who tried to convert Posty, and con-
cerning whom l could tell many things
to attend her, and, since no differ
ence could be made between the vet
Grams, V. c., her other friend, must
also share the duty. OF course she
would have them in uniform, that she
might be married as became a SOL
dier's daughter. and well they looked
in the red, with the medals of the
Crimea and Mutiny on their breasts.
AS for herself, she was in pure white
silk, with wonderful lace of the olden
time, and her mothers jewels, and on
her breast Kate wore the brooch with
Prince Charles hair. 1t was one of
those still, hot days which came to
ripen our corn in August, and so when
all the people had been gathered in the
Kirk, Kate came out from the gray old
house attended by her three faithful
cavaliers, with Janet Macpherson as
tirewoman, and walked in her bridal
array below the old trees of the avenue,
and down the grass grown road, and
up between the roses and honeysuckle.
Carmichael had to come to the Manse
an hour before the time with his best
man, the minister of s.. Bede's church,
Glasgow, who rejoiced in his friends
COY with loyal uusclis hness, although
his betrothed had disappeared and his
own heat was desolate. and st. Bede's
walked his charge up and down the
garden, hearing him make his response
(thirteen timCs), explaining on which
side of the bride he must stand (eigh-
! teen), watching him keep himself
| (twenty-seven), and through it all
| cheering and sustaining the restless
| bridegroom with encouraging words
| and sweet patience till John, who had
skillfully added a certain tolerant good
nature to his austere dignity-insisted
they should go to the Kirk, at q quar-
| ter to two.

PART II.

Certainly not as, eh, colleague"-tne
Doctors voice kept wonderfully steady
but assistant perhaps, to take any
little duty you cannot overtake your
self, for the day will be a strain, and
1t would relieve you to have a man
at your command"
1t was eXasperating that after all
this care had bee I taken, and every
risk of collision had been anticipated,
that a man like Gormack should sud-
denly plunge into the affair and create
a crisis which might have ended in
general confusion. For a generation
Gormack had sat contentedly on a
back seat, and supported Drumsheugh
and the front bench in the government
of the affairs of the commonwealth and
his unexpected interference is only an
other illustration of how a donce man
may at time lose his head.

The fathers regarded him with hor-
TOR as one bereft of his senses, and
Johns face, after one swift stare of as
tonishment hardened into steel.
It's thochtfu' o. We, Gormack, tae

result O. yir deliberations, for we a

and even after that GormaCk continued
on his course.
"It wudna be wise-like tae see the
Free Kirk fouk hangIn' aboot the doors,
or wanderin' up an doom the passages,
or rammln' themsels intae pews whar
there wesna room for them, like stirks
intae a byre."
John encouraged Gormack to pro-
ceed with such irony that even Whin-
ME felt the atmosphere, and HillOcks
indicated to Drumsheugh that he ought
to intervene.

"Ye're an awfu' hand, Gormack,
when ye TAX tae jokin', but ye Gamma
draw the Beadle; ma, ma, he hes his
pan ready, an he's no tae tell 1t till
the day come" which was very shrewd
of Drumsheugh. but it took him all his
time-the doctor had to assist-to
smooth John down and induce him to
regard Gormack's suggestion as a fool
ish and irreverent jest. 1t was four
weeks before the outraged functionary
had worked off his Indignation, during
which time he bantered Gormack with
out mercy-entreating him to bring
forwaTi any new suggestions for the
seatir : of the people, and Offering him
the duty of church officer on the great
