QUEEN REGENTS s. E CH
Continued from first page.

The moment the batteries announced
the departure of the queen and king, the
excitement was intense and when at the
end of the long procession of hussars.
royal piqueurs. state coaches, carrying
ladies in waiting. chamberlains of the
court. and grandees of Spain, the royal
carriages appeared at the gate of the pal
ace, the enthusiasm burst forth into
cheering such as had not been heard in
Spain since the day the late King Alfonso
returned from Paris.
The infantry, which lines the way to
the senate the cavalry, and the mounted
civil guards, had hard work to keep the
crowd from approaching the royal car
riage and escorting it.
The queen appeared to be very much
moved, though her demeanor is usually
impassive. The little king looked at the
crowd with evident pleasure and with
feelings as enthusiastic as theirs, and sa-
luted every moment in military fashion.
Cheere.l by the Crowd.
Long live the queen" long live the
king" and long live Span.' were the
cries frequently given. The spirit of the
crowd pervaded the secluded halls of the
senate, and when the doors were thrown
open for the royal parsonage to enter,
the thousands of distinguished spectators
who filled the galleries. deputies and sem
ators, rose to their feet and received the
queen and king with laundering accla-
nations
The hall of session presented a most
animated appearance and was gay with
bright color. Ladies in Spring costumes
filled the front rows of the galleries In
the diplomatic gallery especially they
were most enthusiastic cheering and
waving their handkerchiefs and fans. 1t
was a long time before silence was estab-
lshed. The queen and king, escorted by
the commissions from the senate and
chamber of deputies, who had met them
at the gate, took seats on the thrones.
The cabinet, captains general. grandees
and members of the court stood on one
side and the diplomatic corps on the
other.
Forgot Etiquette
Prime Minister Sagasta then advanced
the throne. Her majesty remained seat
ed as she read the speech with
calm, clear voice all her audience mean
while standing. 1t is against Spanish
etiquette to interrupt the queen. but the
enthusiasm and emotion was too great,
| the solemnity of the occasion too impress
siye. and twice her majesty had to stop
while cheers and acclamations and cries
of Long live SPAIN Long live the
queen and Long live the king" made
| speaking impossible.
The cheering was still more frantic
on the queen leaving the Senate, and so
| 1t was on the streets
Special editions of the Official Gazette
| had been issued containing the speech
and the multitude had read it and wanted
to show their appreciation of its contents
| by more cheering. The greatest enthu-
siasm was manifested when the para
graph referring to the integrity of the ma
| tional territory was read.
| Never has Madrid seen a demonstration
so enthusiastic and so deeply felt as that
| of today.

Bismarck of Jewish Descent.

Few. people are aware that Prince
Bismarck is of Hebrew descent He
derives his Jewish blood from his
mother. whose father-Anastasius
Menken, one of the favorite bureau
Gratis of Frederick the Great-was vi
Hebrew parentage. Although of late
it has evidently appeared polite to the
prince to countenance the anti-semitic
movement both in Germany and
Austria, yet while in office he invar-
iably showed himself a good friend &C
the Jewish nation, and chose the He
brew banker, at Berlin, Baron Won
Bleichroeder, as his most trusted con-
fidant Indeed. in those days he was
SO well disposed toward the Jews that
he even discussed the advisability OF
marrying his SONS Of Jewesses, on the
ground that 1t would bring money into
the family again, and likewise "im-
prove both morally and physically the
Bismarck breed"

A Persian BoudoIr.

A Persian lady's rooms do not occupy
much Of her time or attention. They
are very simple and taste plays no i'm
portant part in them. The walls are
either plainly tinted, ornamented with
scrolls, carved in plaster, or inlaid up
to the ceiling with fragments of look
ing glass. Her bedding by day is
rolled up in a corner of the room she
generally inhabits. On shelf in every
niche stands a turquoise colored vase,
ON which rests a strongly scented
shaddock. This Is the only decora-
ton except the exquisite carpets and
rugs which are spread about the floor.
She is thoroughly domestic, and treats
her woman servants and slaves much

There are numerous harmless

in the lives of the average southern

a Playmate who Saved Him from Death
by Drowning.
The child'sslife during the time the
family lived in Kentucky appears to
have been entirely uneventful. says St
Nicholas. He helped his mother after
he was 3 years old In the simple house
hold duties, went to the district school
and played with the children of the
neighborhood. The only one of young
Lncoln's playmates now living is an
old man, nearly 100 years old, named
Austin Gollaher, whose mind is brign.
and clear and who never tires of tell
ing of the days Lincoln and he were
little tikes and played together" This
old man, who yet lives in the log house
in which he has always lived. a few
miles from the old Lincoln place. tells
entertaining stories about the presi-
dents boyhood.
Mr.. Gollaher says that they were
together more than the other boys in
school; that he became fond of his
little friend, and he believed that Abe
thought great deal of him.
In speaking OF various events Of mi
nor Importance in their boyhood days,
Mr.. Gollaher remarked: II once saved
Lincoln's life." Upon being urged to
tell of the occurrence he thus related
1t: I'VE had been going to school to-
gether one year, but the next year we
had no school, because there were so
few scholars to attend, there being on
ly about twenty in the school the year
before. Consequently Abe and had
not much to do, but as we did not go
to school and our mothers were strict
with us we did not get to see each
other very often. One Sunday morn
ing my mother walked me early, saying
she was going to see Mrs. Lincoln, and
that / could go along. Glad of the
chance, l was soon dressed and ready
to go. After my mother and l got
there Abe and l played all through
the day. While we were wandering up
and down the little stream called Knob
creek Abe said: Right up there.
pointing to the east, we saw a covey
of partridges yesterday. Let's go over
and get some of Them The stream was
swollen and was too wide for us to
jump across. Finally we saw a mar
row footing and we concluded to try
it. 1t was narrow, but Abe said: Let's
coon it,
Il went first and reached the other
side all right. Abe went about half
way across, when he got scared and
began trembling. l hollored to him:
Don't look down nor up nor sideways,
but look right at me and hold on tight.
But he fell off into the creek, and as
the water was about seven or eight
feet deep and / could not swim and
neither could Abe l knew 1t would do
no good for me to go in after Him
So got stick-a long water sprout-
and held it out to him. He came up
grabbing with both hands, and I put
the stick into his hands. He clung to
1t and l pulled him out on the bank
almost dead l got him by the arms
and shook him well and then rolled
him on the ground, when the water
poured out of his mouth. He was all
right very soon. We promised each
other that we would never tell any
body about it, and never did for years

The brutality of six-day bicycle
contest In this town Is condemned by
every editor in the country; but the
dear boys were kind enough to refrain
from their destructive criticisms until
1t was known which man was the
winner. There Is good deal of hui
man nature In their curiosity, too; and,
really, after the contest the least tired

1t sixteen knots speed. To complete
the comparison, the expert adds that,
while vessel in collision strikes all
