PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Charles Alexander, Grand Duke of
Sake Weinlar, who has just completed
his eighty second year, is fourth among
European rulers both as to age and
seniority as sovereign. The Pope is his
senior by eight years, and then follow
the Grand Duke of Luxembourg and the
King of Denmark. In length of reign
Queen Victoria surpasses him by sixteen
years. the Emperor of Austria by nearly
five, and the Grand Duke OF Baden BY
one year.
Secretary of War Elihu Root is an ex-
pert chess player, and he generally
amuses himself during his unoccupied
evenings either by a game with a friend
or in solving some particularly difficult
problem.
Mrs. Amelia Folsom Young, one of the

in her country. She must be considera-
bly, over 30 or 60 years of age; she looks
scarcely day over 80 and her toilettes
evoke the admiration OF all who see them
Her garments are calculated to be not
less in number than 8, 600 to 1000 Her
fur robes are wonderfully beautiful, and
comprise 500 made from the finest skins.
Not the least extraordinary and varied
part of her toilette is her hairdressing
which can be accomplished in at least Sd
modes.
The Baroness Won Ketteler was Miss
Maud Ledyard, native of Baltimore.
She is the daughter of Henry B. Ledyard,

ago in the Philippines, and Of Commo-
dore Lewis Cass Ledyard of the New
York Yacht club. Her mother was Miss
Mary l.. i HOmmedteu. Her father was
born in France, son of a secretary Of
United States legation there, and was
at one time (1867-69) instructor in French
at West Point.

According to the Argus's report Of
his speech Mr.. Frank warned his hear
ers not to be alarmed by the dolefuI pre-
dictions of Republican spellbinders as to
the evil results which would follow the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
1t would have been more to the point
if Mr. Frank had explained why those
"doIefuI results which Mr.. Bryan
claimed would follow the defeat of free
coinage four years ago did not
come about 1t was Mr.. Bry-
ans assertion, echoed by every free silver
orator in the country, that wheat and
silver were tied together, and that the
former could not rise except in response
to the rise of the latter. 1t was Mr.. Bry-
ans assertion that the defeat of free coin
age and the establishment of the gold
standard would be followed by industrial
paralysis and general distress among the
people. 1t was these assertions that were
the basis of his campaign, and faith
in them procured him the larg-
est part of his vote. Four years have dis
proved both of them, and many others Ct
a cognate character. Indeed, the whole
freessilver structure which was SO elab-
orately built up by Bryan and his dis
Ciples, has DO n completely demolished by
the events OF the past four years. No
Jy disproved by actual facts than Mr.
Bryan's relating to silver. Yet Mr.. Frank
still harps upon them.

THE ADVANCE TO PEK1N.

The advance on Pekin is said to have
begun. Its progress will be watched
with great interest because it will solve
many problems about which there is
much anxiety. The first one is the num-
Der of Chinese troops that will oppose it,
and their fighting capacity Since the
Japanese war all Europe has had a very
poor idea of Chinese soldiers, and the i'm
preston has been prevalent that a few
thousand European soldiers could march
all over the empire without encountering
any serious resistance. But the opposition
which Admiral Seymour's expedition en-
countered, and the fierce fighting that
some of the Chinese soldiers did at Pekin
shook considerably confidence in this
view. Indeed since those two events the
allies have raised good deal their con-
ception OF the difficulties OF the task be-
fore them, ana have delayed some weeks
in order to mass a large army, EVIDENT
ly in the expectation OF meeting serious
resistance. On the other hand, ii reports
received from Pekin are Trustworthy,
the Chinese soldiers there have not been
showing much more effectiveness than
when they were p1tted against the Japa~
nese. That a few hundred men in the
legations could successfully resist for
weeks repeated onslaughts OF Chinese
soldiers and mobs, shows pretty poor
fighting qualities on the part of the
assailants. A few days will reveal
whether the allies are to encounter the
fierce and apparently well directed resist
ance which they met at lien Tsin, or are
to inset force no more effective than
that which has been trying for weeks to
bring about the surrender of the legations
in Pekin. ii the latter, then the allies
ought to be in this capital in the course
of few days, for Pekin is less
than hundred miles from lien Tsin,
the starting point of the expedition. If
the former, the relief of the ministers
may yet be considerable distance off,
and may not be accomplished without
severe losses on the part OF the allied
troops.
Another question to be solved is the
effect Of the advance upon the ambassa-

Evidence seems to be accommodating
that the plot to kill King Humbert was
Matched in this country and there is some
reason to believe that some of the con-
spirators are here now. But it is doubt
full if they could be punished, or pun
ished according to their deserts, even if
conclusive proof could be obtained against
them. Our treaty with Italy makes no
provision for the extradition OF men for
completely in crime, and it is doubtful
If the President has the power to surren-
der criminals as an act of courtesy. 1t
is said also that the laws of New Jersey,
where the conspirators are supposed to
have plotted, provide no adequate pun
lshment for their crime.

such terrible coughing spells, we not only grew

CURRENT COMMENT.
BRYAN HIMSELF THE ISSUE,
(From the Indianapolis News

There is, we think, no doubt as to the
attitude Of the Gold Democrats of Indi =
ana. They feel that they did not tight
the battle of 1896 simply that they might
throw away its fruits now. They are not,
as rule, willing to take Mr.. Bryan even
as a medicine What they have in
mind is the completes and final overthrow
of Bryan and Organism. even at the ex-
pense of rejecting Mr.. Mckinley. 1t is
idle to talk to them about imperialism.
AS they refused to let the Chicago con-
ventiOn control their action, so VIII they
refuse to allow the Kansas City conven-
ton to declare for them what is to be the
paramount issue. AS long as Mr..
Bryan, with his motley following, is in
the field, he himself Will be the para
mount issue.
The more sincere Gold Democrats think
about voting for Bryan, the more diff
cult Will they find the task. ''1'he more
l think of it,, says the Eastern Gold
Democrat, the less confidence do [ come
to have in Mr. Bryan That is a sober
statement of weighty fact. For four
years there has been practically no check
on Mckinley, and this is because the
leaders felt that while Bryan was the
Democratic party, they need fear nothing.
Does 1t not then, seem foolish to think
OF building up an opposition to Mckinley
with Bryan at its head2

The stories Of the murder of the minis
ters at Pekin that have been told for the
past month were quite as circumstan-
tial, indeed more circumstantial, than
the reports Of the massacre OF the mis-
sionaries at Pao ling Pu. Yet 1t turns
out that the ministers are alive and we'll.
This fact greatly strengthens the hope
that the missionaries also will be found
to be safe.

The "bug" has already commenced work

Fires running over the prairies in these
dry times kill out the roots and it would
take several years to fully recuperate
even under the most favorable Of seasons.

AN UNHEALTHY BEVERAGE,

A dispatch dated July 10, from Fort
Dodge. Iowa, Says, -Four young men liv-
ing in Cerro Gordo county. near the. Min
nesota line, purchased and drank a keg
Of Milwaukee brewed beer some days ago,
and Us result three Of them have died
and q fourth is now in terrible agony,
and is reported to be on the point Of
death. {. s. 4. Is /.
The day was warm and the beer was
consumed hurrlediy by the friends, who
little realized that they were slipping a
death dealing draught. They were all
taken sick Immediately, and: although Q
physician was soon summoned, the take
Ing off three Of the young bibbers could
not be prevented. y 7
To ascertain, IL possible; the strange
cause cf the sickness, the keg was broken
into and the decompo posed Sremainsof q
genuine rattlesnake was found. Improb-
able as the story sounds, It Is true; and
il rendered plausible BY the fact that
empty kegs are often left lying around
for weeks before being shipped back i,
srhe breweriss. II is thus easy Tor rep
tiles and insects to crawl into the kegs
sas cool resorts. n:
Tie acalding ont af tho kegs upon their
rdturh would NATURAL, kill amy living
organism, hieh would remain right in
the kes: ItNas ol,ly.a5 few ydars ago That
d man here became sick from a riilkiing

that = dead toad occupied the Key with
