The queen regent is very rich in her
own right, having inherited large share
Of the colossal fortune of her uncle, the
old Archdulze Albert, geralissimo OF the
Austrian army, who, at the time or ms
death, three years ago, was justly reput-
ed the most enormously wealthy man in
all Europe The queen had, however, long
before she inherited his fortune, always
shown a most generous and liberal spirit
in money matters, though possessed OF
all the native aversion Of a great lady
for useless and reckless extravaganza.
AS queen dowager she has right to a
large annual allowance from the treas
ury and she is entitled TO still further
larger allowance as regent or the KING
dom during her sons minority. She was
likewise allotted, by the terms of the con-
stitution, allowances for her two daugh-
ters during their minority. All these al
lowances she renounced declaring that
she wished neither her children nor her
self to constitute any additional burden
upon the unfortunate taxpayers, ana that
she would manage to maintain the court
with BETTING splendOr on the civil list
to which her little boy was entitled as
king.
In this way the queen regent has spared
the Spanish treasury many million dol
lars since she became n widow twelve
years ago, her conduct presenting q strik-
ing contrast to that of many other reign
ing sovereigns, such as. for instance. the
kings of Greece. Roumania. Sweden. etc,
who made a point of exacting every PEN
ny of what they consider to be their due,
spending It, not in the land over which
they have been called to rule and by
which 1t is contributed. but sending IT on
the contrary to be boarded abroad against
a rainy day, that is to say, for use in
the event OF deposition or compulsory alb
dication which is about the same thing.
OF course, the queen regent has been
prompted in making this timely advance
to the treasury not alone by sense Of
patriotic love for the land of her adop
ton. but likewise by her passionate de-
votion for her son. in whom she is COM
pletely bound up and for whose sake she
would readily sacrifice. not only her for
tune but her very life. Her one guiding
| aim since her husbands death has been
| to preserve the lettering Spanish throne
| for her little boy, and to this object eV-

KAISER N|LHELM'S DOOM
STRANGE STORY OF A GERMAN
SUPERSTITION.
No Royal Couple May Visit the Holy
Land in Company and Disaster Not
Follow.

Many years ago when Kaiser Will
liam was "A little boy, he by chance
one day came across a gypsy encamp-
ment, and suddenly remembering that
these people were credited with the
power of reading futurity, he deman-
ded in the imperative manner, which
was even then associated with him, to
have his fortune told. At the princely
command the chief of the tribe, an
old man, whose very appearance was
uncanny came forward and requested
in the quaint and dignified manner of
his people, to see the royal hand. Hur-
riedly the young prince removed his
glove, and submitted his palm to the
gaze of the venerable Zingari. The
old fellow gazed long and steadily at
the network of lines before him. and
then told his royal patron many
things that have since come to pass.
THE GYPSY'S PREDICTIONS.
He foretold correctly the marriage
of the young prince, who the royal
consort would be, how many children
he would be blessed with, when he
would ascend the throne, and also a
the empress, warning him in very SOL
emn tones to be most careful when he
did so. as his life would be in jeopardy
during and after the visit, and refer
ring to the old German superstition
that no royal couple may visit the
Holy Land in company and disaster
not follow.
Strange as it may appear in such
a wilful and hayward man as the EN-
peror William has shown himself to
be, he implicitly believes in the old
gipsy's warning, and more especially
since every other event he prophesied
has come to pass with great accuracy.
Nevertheless, despite the well known
belief, and determined to have his
own way in this as in everything else,
even to defying fate if needs be, he
would not forego his visit to the Nee
ca of the Christian world for all he is
worth, and in spite of the fact that he
himself knows the disasters that have
fallen upon those of royal blood who
have had the temerity to defy this
unwritten rule.
WHY IT is BELIEVED.
Indeed, it would seem that the Ger
man royal family has good ground
for apprehension when we find that
history records many instances of the
fulfillment of the popular belief. For
example Prince Frederick of Schles-
wig-Holstein, uncle of the present Ger
man empress, went to Jerusalem for
his honeymoon. On his return he was
seized with a sudden and fatal illness.
Again it was on the return of the
Grand Duke Sergius and his wife from
their trip to Palestine that the gand
duchess was compelled to appeal to
the late Car for protection from the
brutalities of her husband: and the
visit of the German emperor's eldest
sister and her husband, Prince Bern
hardt of SaXe-Meiningen, to the Holy
Land ended in the notorious "Anony-
nous Letter Scandal" Then some
two years ago the visit of the Arch
duke and Archduchess Charles Louis
OF Austria was followed by the sud
den death of the archduke. who was
next in the line of succession to the
Austrian throne. Likewise the tragic
death of the crown prince of Austria
was the sequel of his visit to Pales
tine with the crown princess.-Ex-

TWO YOUNG LADIES KILLED
A Most Distressing Accident at "A Rail.
road Crossing.

Richmond, Va, September ia
special from Winchester, Va, to the
Dispatch says: A most distressing
accident occurred shortly before 10
o'clock last night on the Washington
and H~arrisonburg branch of the South
ern railway e Bowman's station, in
Shenandoah county, and as a result
two young ladies of the neighborhOOd
are dead n their escort has received
perhaps fatal injuries. The victims
were Miss Laura Dellinger, aged 20
years; her sister, Miss Alice V. Del
finger, aged IS years, and George Sis
Ter, of Mount Jackson, aged "a years.
The catastrophe occurred within sight
of the young girls residence. The
party had been attending church and
were returning home in a buggy.
While crossing the tracks of the South
ern ear BOwman's they were struck
by the engine of a northbound freight
and the two girls were instantly killed,
their bodies being horribly mangled.
Young Sisler was hurled a distance of
twenty yards and sustained a fracture
of the right leg and right shoulder,
besides being injured internally. The
buggy was crushed like an eggshell,
while the horse escaped without a
scratch.
Just how the party failed to notice
the approaching train is not known, as
it was plainly visible for several hum
dred yards, and the crossing is on a
heavy grade. They were evidently en-
gagged in conversation and did not OBJ
serve the train until it was upon them.
Engineer Stoble, of the freight, says
he whistled for the crossing and just
before it was reached noticed the team
drive upon the track. He reversed his
engine, but too late. The pilot struck
the buggy squarely between the front
and rear wheels, hurting the occupants
in all directions. The Misses Dellinger
were the daughters Of wv. Dellinger,
a leading resident Of the county.

Forty Gallons Explode and Wreck
Three Buildings Many Persons Kill
ed and Hurt.

Philadelphia, September 11.-By the
explosion of forty gallons of gasoline
in h cellar of a grocery store at 1444
South street tonight, four, and posi-
bly, a dozen more, lives were lost.

explosion the building where IL occur
red and those adjoining it on either
side collapsed.
AT 10 o'clock four bodies had been
Samuel Schattenstein, keeper of the
grocery store; his 19-year-old son,
Abraham; a 10-months-old child nam
ed Goldberg. The fourth body was that
Of a girl about 10 a old.

unknown. The front Of 1444 was imme-
diately blown out, and this was follow
ed by the collapse Of hat structure

Louis S~allonOse' shoe store. The west
wall of 1440, occupied by L. Wanger's
