HOBBIES OF ROYAL GIRLS.

The czarina, when still Princess Alix. hobby, and very handsome work was turned out by her delft fingers.
 Princess May (duchess of York; as a girl was especially fond of sketching, and, in addition, made herself quite a specialist in precious stones.
 Queen Christina, of Spain, as a girl chose the study of scientific matters as a hobby; she was particularly inter- ested in aeronautics, and is probably the only queen who has been up in a balloon.
 At the present moment the children of Princess Waldemar of Denmark are trying various hobbies, though perhaps they are most likely to adopt photog- raphy, which has also been greatly in favor in the British court.
 It is we'll known that in her youth ihe queen of Italy contracted quite a mania for collecting the gloves and shoes of sovereigns past and present. At the present day she has quite val uable collection. among her treasures being the shoes of Marie Antoinette, Mary Stuart. Empress Josephine, Queer Anne and Empress Catherine of Rus sia.
 As a girl of seven Victoria was de voted to horticulture, and Lord Abe marie was fond of telling how impar- tially she divided the contents of her watering-pot between her flowers and her own little feet. She was especially fond of her donkey, too, and divided her attention between it and her natural history museum, which was crammed with specimens mostly collected by her own hard.

carried to the seaboard. That system has been invaluable to the farmers Without it they never could have at tained their present progress. But the time has come when they can well af- ford to direct their efforts to making corresponding advancement in the building Of wagon roads, The science of road building has been too long neglected, to the great disadvantage of the whole country, by most of all the farmers.
 The oddity of the present good road movement is that it all originated with the wheelmen. The bicycle riders and manufacturers demanded good roads to take their country rides on, and then the farmers awoke to the profit to them of good roads to get their pro- duce to market on. It shows how diff ferent interests, with apparently no common point, work together in un- suspected ways. Material interest, pleasure and sport curiously react on each other as forces in civilization Detroit Free Press.

THE VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.

The tremendous importance of good roads is not generally realized. If it were, the farmers would not only cease their opposition to good roads laws, but would strenuously insist upon them. The attention of the country has heretofore been mainly directed to the building up of a vast system of railroad transportation. by means of which the products of the western prairies might be quickly and cheap'y

FAVORS ANNEXATION.
But Senator Morgan Would Have Cuba
Come In of Her Own Free Will.

But Senator Morgan Would Have Cuba
Come In of Her Own Free Will.
Senator Morgan spoke in Birming.
ham Friday to large audience. Re-
garding Cuba he said that the United
States will not take the island by the
ear and pull it into the union, but will
hold it until the Cubsns realize that
their greatest security and prosperity
lies in annexation to the union as
state. AS to the Philippines, he said
their great distance makes their situa-
ton different from Cuba or Porto Rico,
but he did not believe there is a man
in America who favors this country
turning its back upon these people
struggling for liberty and enlighten-
ment. He thought that time would
develop the Philippine question salts
factorily. He believed the demand
for our silver money in the new posses
sions would practically force the re-
monetization of silver.

SPAIN GIVES UP CUBA.
Sovereignty Relingushed Without
Even Terms or Conditions.
PHILIPPINES WILL Be TAKEN UP NEXT.
The United States Guarantee That Life
and Property Shall Be Secure in Cuba.
Mutual Understanding Reached
as to Porto Rico and Guam.

PARIS. The Spanish peace commits
sioners have accepted thu negative
view of the United States commission
toward the assumption by the United
States of the Cuban debt. The Amer
lean commissioners have firmly, but
courteously, declined to assume for
the United States the entire or joint
responsibility for the Spanish financial
conditions.
Senior Montero Rios, the president
of the Spanish commission, and his
colleagues, with faithful insistence,
sought another result, but they
failed to attain it, and have finally
abandoned the effort, and have agreed
that the Cuban article Of the protocol
shall, without conditions, have place
in the ultimate treaty OF peace. Thus
Spain relinquishes sovereignty over
and claim to Cuba without either terms
or conditions. The one concession
as to Cuba that our commissioners will
make will be the guarantee OF the
United States that life and property
shall be secure in Cuba. This re-
sponsibility the United States will as
sumo only to such time as stable
government shall be formed and oper-
ative in Cuba There will be operpet-
ual guarantee on that score.
All difficulties, if any existed, re-
parding Porto Rico and the selection
of the Island of Guam, were also ar
ranged by a mutual understanding,
and the commissioners found them
selves well-nigh touching the Philip
pine question, which will be takn uI
next.

Cuts Citizens Throat and Wounds Two
Atlanta Police Officers.
w. G.. Shockly, an insane farmer of
Auburn county, Georgia, cut the
throat of J. d. Bishop, and wounded
Police Captain John Thompson on
street car in Atlanta Friday. Robert
Mccoy, an ex-policeman, in effecting
the capture of the demented murderer,
was seriously, but not fatally stabbed.
Bishop died instantly.
Shockly called at the police station
during the morning and asked to be
locked up as he was going insane, but
was thrown out of the station. Shock
ly then called on Governor Atkinson
and asked for protection from lynch
ers, and while the governor was tele~
phoning the police, the insane man
departed.
Shockly was sitting next to Bishop in
the car, and without a word drew a
razor, reached around and nearly
severed the head from the body.
