church bells were rung at IL o'clock
in the morning.
The weather cleared at about IL
o'clock, and a serensde by the Wind
sor and Eton Amateur Choral Soci-
cites was given in the grand quad
rangle of Windsor Castle. The Mayor
and corporation of Windsor, in their
full robes of Office, and the Borough
Magistrates were also present.
The scene was extremely pictur-
esque. The Queen, looking to be in
excellent health, came forward and
bowed repeatedly.
Her Majesty afterward knighted
the Mayor, j. T. Soundry. Although
the official birthday celebrations in
London were postponed until June 3,
all public buildings, many business
houses aud great many private resi-
dences were. decorated. In fact, more
flags were flying than at any time
since the Queens Jubilee.
A great congregation assembled in
ST. PauPs Cathedral in the morning,
where thanksgiving services were
held, and huge crowds of people were
unable to obtain admittsnce, and
grouped themselves in the spaces
about the building.
The birthday celebration occurred
throughout the provinces, the ships in
the different ports were dressed" fol
the occasion and the wsrships were
covered with bunting.
At Portsmouth there were review;
of the regular troops.

AN AUTOMOBILE HERE.
First of the Horseless Carriages
Is In the City.

The first automobile to be perms-
nently located in this city is now
housed in the stable in the rear of 202l
Maryland avenue and is being exhib-
tied by it's maker, Mr.. w. Lee Crouch,
OF New Brighton, Pa. He hopes to
interest Baltimore capital in msnufac-
turing carriages on his patents and
has already associated with him Mr..
ID. A. Clark, of this city. The auto
mobile arrived in this city yesterday
and spin was taken out the road
during the evening. Today it will
travel around the vicinity of Roland
Park and the swift, mysterious move
ments of the horseless carriage have
attracted crowds of curious spectators.
The automobile now in Baltimore
has seats for two, though another
couple can easily be accommodated.
1t is painted black except the broad
panels in the sides of the body, which
are cherry. Little machinery is Wis
ible. In front .the most conspicuous
object is a pair of bicycle handle bars,
Somewhat larger than those on the
smaller vehicle. Upon the bars is
fastened a bell to warn away danger.
Against the dashboard are placed
two gauges, showing the air and
steam pressure. A water indicator
tells how much of the fluid is in the
reservoir concealed in the rear of the
body. A small foot-brake and lever
to cut off steam are the only other
pieces of mechanism visible except
two screw valves which operate to cut
off the supply of steam and oil.
The motive power is superheated
steam. Mr.. Crouch, the inventor,
says he can expand this agent to a
much greater degree than by the Or
binary engine and thus can generate
his means of propulsion very cheaply.
Common Kerosene oil or gasoline is
used and horse power is developed
with less than 20 pounds of water.
The reservoirs will hold 90 gallons of
water and 10 gallons of oil. The total
horsepower of the automobile is II,
and Mr. Crouch says the heaviest
grades are climbed with ease. A run
of 40 miles was taken yesterday, dur
ing which 20 gallons of water and 81
of oil were consumed.
One of the clever appliances of the
machine is long hose which connects
with the reservoir and engine in such
way that should the water supply
get low while on the road, it is only
necessary to get within II feet of the
water supply, drop in the hose, turn
valve and the engine pumps the
reservoir full in few minutes.
The mechanism concealed under
the body of the automobile is an ar
rangement of sxles, gears and driving
chains, reminding one of the now
old-tashioned tandem bicycles. OF
course it has pneumatic tires and the
machine bowls along the country
roads at speed of 25 miles an hour.
Baltimore News, April IA, 1899.
The maker of this machine, Mr.. w.
Lee Crouch, was born near White
Oak, Bath county, and at the age OF
10 years moved with his family to
Hillsboro, Fleming county, where he
was dissatisfied and ran away from
home, going to Cincinnati, where he
went to work in an electric light
house. Since that time he mas been
identified with the inventors of the
age. May he meet with deserved
success.

cessive JOY over being released from
prison. He was convicted of murder
several years ago, but the proof showed
be bore no i'll viii against the victim,
and the prisoner stoutly maintained he
did not know the gun was loaded. His
good record and the attendant facts

home near Demopoiis. Approaching
the old log hut, the unexpected conner
was greeted by mother. father and sis

for whom no task had been too severe,
swooned with emotion, expiring few

council OF women opened Monday in
the conyocation hall of the Church

le too small TO accommodate the dele

national bureau Of information regard
ing all that affects women and warned
women against arrogating 20 them
selves alone the duties of curing all
evils.

who was enthusiastically received as a
possible successor TO the presidency.

Washington, june 2s.--The president
upon his return TO Washington was
promptly acquainted with the situation
in the Philippines as exhibited In Gen.
Otis statement cablcd Monday. He VAS
In conference for time with Secretary
Alger respecting the best method OF
carrying out Gen. Otis desire 10 main
tain at least throughout the rainy sea-
son an effective fighting force OF no less
than 10000 men in the island. In the
generals last estimate which was re-
ceiyed Monday il is noted that he asks
for an defective" force of 10000 men.
This last estimate will oblige the war
department 10 secure more troops Gen.
OTIS sick report and his casualty list
make il evident that provision must be
made at once TO supply shortage OF
about 10 per cent. in his force. The OH
Gals are taking into consideration the
assurance of the medical authorities
that no diminution TO this disability
rate can be expected during the wet sea-
son, but that the conditions may grow
even worse as the season advances.
Many of these men will have 10 be in
valided home 10 the United States, IL
being demonstrated particularly in the
typhoid fever cases that convalescence
is rare unless the patient leaves the
Philippines. Thus, the department will
be under the necessity of keeping up u
steady flow of recruits from the United
States il Gen. Otis desire is to be COM
piled with. The recruiting officers re-
ports indicate an ability on their part
TO supply 1000 men week, more than
sufficient, IL is believed. to meet Gen.
Otis needs in the future, while as for
the present. the department has as
sembled 5000 recruits at San Fran
cisco ready for transport as soon as
ships can be found.
II is not known at the war depart
ment how Gen. Otis has succeeded in
his undertaking to form three skeleton
regiments from the volunteers now in
the Philippines who are willing TO re-
enlist. An impression prevails at the
war department that large proportion
of the volunteers may be reenlisted IL
some arrangement can be made where
by the men can be allowed to make n
visit to their friends and relatives In the
United States. The idea is to reenlist
them in the Philippines, and give them
a furlough to return TO the United
States. This furlough would be for at
least four months. more than half of
which fine would be required 10 make
the round trip from Manila 10 the
United States.
