be Of age at 10. Although fond Of play,
he is also studious and has made u good
use Of the opportunities he has had for
learning. His father was Alfonso XII.
He was the son of the notorious Isabel
10 II, who was driven from the throne
of Spain. Isabella asoended the throne
as the daughter Of Ferdinand VII and
Maria Christina. As Ferdinand had no
son he repealed the Salio law establish
cd by Philip V, which excluded woiren
from the succession, and proclaimed H.
abella his successor. This shut out his
brother, Don Carlos, who was the heir
presumptive, and resulted In the latter
taking up arms to maintain his rights
when Isabella was declared queen. The
oortes after time confirmed Isabella's u
title to the throne by voting that Don
Carlos and his heirs should DO excluded

Don Carlos Is the granddaughter Of Fer

sister Of the Duke Of Modena. He mar

who brought him a large fortune. When
Isabella was dethroned In 1858, Sagas-
tn, as tho official representative Of tho
people, offered him the crown on oon-
dition that the country should have O
constitution and that church and state
should be separated. He rejected the
offer. His son, Don Jaime, holds COM

he again reach the throne Don Carlos
would reign as Carlos VII. For his sec-
ond wife he married the Princess Marie
Bertha de Roman at Prague, who brought

Mrs. p. w. Sinnett who left her
last week, Tuesday, was on train Of
the Northwestern road that wal
wrecked by collision with three
cars standing on the track at Eagle
Grove. The engineer was killed
! The train was going about forty
miles an hour; demolishing the en-

baggage car and shaking the 1passen-
gers up quite badly. Mrs. Sinnet
sustained no serious injuries but a
severe shock.
Another rumor comes drifting over
the breezes to the effect that the
coming winter Hotel Orleans at Spirit

skidded up on the ice to the head of
the lake, on Minnesota soil. This is
to escape the Iowa liquor law. While
such move would require consider
able expense, we believe the hotel in
its new location would prosper more
than ever and give more general sat
icfaction. The Burlington road
would move its line to meet the hotel.
The hotel would be converted into a
famous summer resort.

She Was Our Greatest City In Those
DAYS.


In 1874 Philadelphia was the largest
town in the American colonies. Esti-
mates Of the population, which are all
We have, differ widely, but it was
probably not far from 10000, says
Scrlbner's. A single city now has a
larger population than all the colonies
possessed III 1874, and there are in the
united States today 104 cities and
towns of over 10000 inhabitants Fig
uTes alone, however, cannot express
the difference between those days and
our own
Now town of 3d. 600 people is reach
ed by railroads and teiegrdphs. 1t is
IN close touch with all the rest OF the
world. Business brings strangers to
1t constantly, who come Ike shadows
and so depart, unnoticed, except by
those with whom they are Immediate
~ concerned. 1t was not SO in 1111,
not even in Philadelphia, which was
as nearly as possible the central point
of the colonies as we'll as the most
populoEs city. Thanks to the energy
and genius of Franklin, Philadelphia
was paved, lighted and ordered in
way almost unknown in any other
town Of that period. 1t was we'll built
and thriving. Business WIS active
and the people were thrifty and pros
porous. and lived well
Yet, despite all these good qualities
We must make an effort of the magma
ton to realize how quietly and slowly
life moved then in comparison to the
pace Of today. There in Philadelphia
was the center Of the postal system OF
the continent and the recently estab-
lished mail coach called the Flying
Machine" not in jest, but in praise,
performed the journey to New YORK
in the hitherto unequaled time OF two
days. Another mail at longer inter-
walls crept more slowly to the south.
Vessels of the coastwise traffic, or from
beyond seas, came into port at uncer-
tain times. and after long and still
more uncertain voyages. The daily
round OF life was SO regular and SO
quiet that any incident or novelty drew
interest and attention IN way which
would now be impossible.
