 Her mind never recovered from the fearful shock of his execution. The splendid title of empress of Mexico became the bitterest mockery to her.
 The present king of Belgium, Leo pold H., was born in Brussels in 1885. In his youth he was known as the duke of Brabant. He entered the senate in 1858, in virtue of his political majority. He takes a deep interest in the fine arts. in commerce and manufacturing. He is interested also in the future of Africa and it's development. His man ner is said to be simple and cordial; he is popular with his subjects, who are willing to overlook certain we'll known defects in his character, which they consider more than atoned by his abso- lute refusal to be drawn into the never and the liberals-the two political par ties of Belgium. He has reigned now for more than 30 years to the entire satisfaction of his subjects. His tasks have been easier than his fathers. He has followed in the path laid down by the first king, and to this policy may be attributed the success of his rule.

most the only king in Europe whose life and throne were secure.
 Itwas at this time that a remarkable demonstration of their regard for him was made by the people of Brussels. The king upon leaving his palace one day was surrounded by dense throng, each man and woman insisting upon rhaking him by the hand. All sorts and conditions of men made up the assem- bly. It was two hours before the king could extrieate himself from what lit orally became the embraces of his people.
 Late in his reign-indeed, toward it's elose-Leopold wrote to one of his min isters: q have been happy king. In these few words he summed up his own life and the national life of Bel gium since he had been called to rule it.
 Leopold's second wife, and the moth- CT of the present king, was Princess Louise, a daughter of Louis Philippe, the king of France. He was married to this princess on the 9th of August, 1882, soon after he became possessed of the Belgian throne.
 It was their daughter Charlotte who became the wife of MaXimilian, the brother of the emperor of Austria, and himself the unfortunate emperor of Mexico. This unhappy lady accom-

 Of Is ministers and secretaries of state holding office in 1929 only three were Belgians, the rest were Holland CTS. In the army, and in civil appoint ments, about the same average was maintained. Catholics were being grad ually excluded from all part in the gov ernment. The majority was being ruled by the minority, minority hostile and aggressive and utterly foreign to all the interests of the Belgians.

republican can say: Tt requires a very small effort for a republican to live under a monarchy at the head of which is placed a monarch, who, like Leopold H., observes sincerely and loy- ally the constitution. The king himself has too lofty a spirit to believe that there is in Belgium single republican who could wish for his overthrow"
 Leopold has recently offered an in ternational prize of 25,o0o francs, to be awarded in 1901, for the best work on the military history of the Belgians from the time of the Roman invasion to the present day. The history may be written in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian or Flemish. The com petition is open to the world.

spend some time in the United States. One usually associates a long line of kings with a throne, especially when that throne belongs to country as old as Belgium, yet Leopold is the second monarch of his dynasty to rule in Brussels. After the fall of Napoleon, when order was evolved out of the chaos his overthrow had wrought, Hol- land and Belgium were freed from France, only to be united in one gov ernment. The congress of the powers made the fatal blunder of joining Catholic Belgium to Protestant Hol- land. This was in 1915. But the union could not last.
 In 1880 the revolution, which over threw the Bourbon king of France, Charles XII., communicated it's force to the adjacent country. The people oi Brussels, who had long been restless, rose as one man in a general revolt against the Dutch king. William of Orange

to preserve the independence they had achieved, the leaders saw they must conciliate Europe by setting up mon archial form of government. The pow CTS had found France too troublesome to permit little Belgium to follow her example, therefore, republic was an impossibility, although it was earnestly desired by many.
 A constitutional monarchy was de- termined upon as the only form of gov ernment which would be tolerated by the powers and accepted by the peo- pie.
 There were two candidates for the new throne. One was Prince Otho of Bavaria, the other Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg. The choice fell upon Prince Leopold.

questions in America-the problem of good rural roads. At the time the wheel came into general use and for years afterwards good country road in any state of the union was rarity and wonder. The nearest approach to proper road construction of this kind was in the turnpike roads in some of the middle western states where tolls were charged, and the roads were made and kept up by private enter prise. Where a rural community paid tolls on the road by which it's members trayeled and hauled their products to market there was naturally a con stant requirement. that it be kept in good condition, and the result was that there were long stretches of country road in Ohio, Indiana and kentucky of an excellence that found no parallel in corresponding routes of traael ir. any of the more wealthy and tbickly &s4tled Atlantic states.
 With thst constant increase of bi- cycling there came the forming of To- cal wheelmen's aiabs and associations and leagues, and this movement eul- minated in the organization of the na- tional association, the League of American Wheelmen. The need of better roads had long been felt by wheelmen, but it rested with the league to give expression to the idea

 unprepared to encounter. No effec- tive resistance could have been made. The assistance of France and the inter Yention of England alone saved Bel gium. This experience made deep inn pression upon Leopold. Twenty years afterward he wrote to impress upon his

Van WYck for Governor.

Syracuse. n. Y, Sept. 29.-Tem-
porary Chairman Palmer called the
democratic state convention to order
at 1924. Before the convention had
assembled Senator McCarren an
nounced that the Kings and New
York delegations had combined on
Judge Augustus Van Wyck, of Brook
lyn, and that he would have 290 votes
on the first ballot, only 226 being nee
cessary to choice.
Frederick Schraub was elected per-
manent chairman. The candidates
for the nomination for governor were
then presented, after which the fol-
lowing vote was announced: Van
Wyck. $50: Titus, fl; Stanchfield, So;
Mcguire, 81.
After the nomination of Van Wyck
for governor the others on the state
ticket previously announced were
nominated bv acclamation.

Syracuse, y. Y, Sept. 29.-The chaotic
condition of the delegations to the Dem

was accentuated by a contest precipi-
tated by the action of the comEsittee on
credentials in confirming the sitting
delesations in the three districts of
Erie and seating the contesting dele
gates in the First and Third of Mon
roe. This action, If approved. would
probably give control of the next state
committee to ex-senator Hill, and at
midnight it was alleged that Croker and
Eammany would fight the adoption of
the report on the floor of the conven-
ton today. 1t is also asserted that the
Tammany delegates. finding the up
state sentiment strongly against Van
Wyck, have thought of taking up Judge
d. Cady Herrick, of Albany. as their
candidate, to prevent ex-senator Hill
nominating Stanehfield. and to combat
any idea that Hill has defeated Croker.

begin one of the hottest legal battles
ever fought in this country. Thomas ].
Mangan, the Democratic nominee for
district attorney, gives out the state
ment that affiSavits are being prepared
which will be presented on the nomina
ton of Roosevelt as the basis OF an ia
junstion restraining the secretary of
state from filing the nomination and
placing the name on the official ballot.
The matter will be fought through the
state courts and ultimately the casa
will be carried to the United States SUI
preme court. this being permissible liz
an action where the people of a state
are interested.
The Democratic party will take the
position that It is endeavoring TO up

didate is alleged to have violated. Only
one similar case is known where can
didate was claimed to be illegally nom
mated, and though he was very
popular ne was overwhelm-
ingly defeated. Manganscould not say
how soon after the nomipation the ac-
ton would beabegun, but intimated that
there would be no delay.
