The first accident in the construc-
tion of the municipal electric light
plant occurred yesterday afternoon.
A man named Graham was the vic
tim. He is working for the New
Castle bridge company who have the
sub-contract for putting up the trus-
ses in the building and was working
in the coal bins in the second story.
He was climbing ladder which was
standing too straight and started to
fall. He stepped hack and through
. hole, falling a distance of twenty
feet. His right wrist was broken. He
was taken to the hospital.

This Will be done Of course in the

'In view of these improved condi-

that the klondike is TO be long lived
is to be found in the permanent and
very expensive purchase of improve
ments- The new administration under
Governor Ross is making wonderful
improvements. Expenditure for roads
alone this season exceeds $250OOO.
The reduction OF the royalty from
10 to per cent. with an exemption of
5000. has been material factor in
bringing about an increase in the an
nual output of the klondike. and with

EDWARDS CORONATION.
Royal Rules That VIII Govern the
Costumes on That Occasfon

Costumes on That Occasion.
The rules and regulations governing
what is to be worn at the coronation
of King Edward next year have just
been issued by the earl marshal. Among
other things there is a curious gradua-
ton in the fur trimmings of the robes
which emphasizes the fine distinctions
existing in the ranks of the aristocracy.
All the peers have been notified thai
their robes must be of crimson velvet,
edged with minever. TO cape furred
with minever pure ana powdered with
bars or rows of ermine, aecofu..lg te
their degree"
Here follow the numerical gradua-
tons distinguishing between the ranks.
Barons are allowed two rows Of ermine.
viscounts two and a half rows. earls
three rows. marquises three and a hall
rows and dukes four rows. All the man
ties and robes must be worn over full
court dress, uniform or regimentals.
The earl marshars order banishes coun
terfeit pearls and all jewels from coro
nets, which are to be 'silver gilt, the
caps Of crimson velvet, turned up with
ermine. with gold tassels on top. Ne
jewels or precious stones are to be set
in coronets nor counterfeits of pearls
instead of silver balls" The pImber Of
the latter permitted revives a nice sense
of distinction. A baron's coronet bears
six silver balls, a yiscount's sixteen, an
earl's eight. with gold strawberry
leaves between: a marquis four balls
and four leaves alternately: a dukes
coronet has no balls and has only eight
gold stra wberry leaves.
The earl marshal next prescribes the
robes, nantes and coronets to be worn
by the peeresses. These are of the same
materials as the mems. with similar
graduations in the number of bars OF
ermine and balls. The length of the
train marks the difference in rank. a
baroness is allowed a train of only
three feet. yiscountess has one and a
quarter yards. countess has one and
half yards. marchioness has one and
three-quarter yards and duchess two
yar9s.

has come to the worst, we must all hope
for the best Mrs. Lawson gave me only
the most meagre details, but she said that
yaur manner when she met you in the
elevator helped her to grasp the whole sad
story Ever your devoted friend. Laura.
p S.-Mrs Lawson forgot to mention
where you had sent him. Was it White
Plains or Watkins Glen? l should like
TO send him some religious literature.
For at leafs an hour after this note
reached her Mrs Binks was incapable
of speech. Then she took her pen in
hand and wrote an eight-page letter 20
Laura, which was eminently calculated
to make that middle-aged dowager sit
up.
Meanwhile one of the Binks girls had
come in from a walk. Its the funniest
thing, motherv' she remarked. Just
now l stopped in at the doctors to get
fathers liniment and. upon my word,
when l got in the waiting room it seemed
to me that every living soul in this apart
ment house, from the bell boys up, were
in there getting vaccinated. And-if you'll
believe it-they all edged away from me
as if had the plague
Half an hour later a special delivery
letter was brought to Mrs. Binks 1t
bore the Larchmont postmark and was
in Lauras familiar hand She read ii
in the privacy of her bedroom but
about an hour afterward pale and rath-
er hysterical woman approached Binks
bedside and remarked: Charles, dear. L
don't think so much solitude is good for
you. I've Just sent word up to Mrs. Law
son asking her to come down and cheer
you up a bit. She's such a bright little
woman / think I'll ask her to stay to
lunch And Charles, dear, IL there are
any friends you would care to see to-
night I'll telephone for them. You have
been quiet quite long enough"
Binks was well on the rood to recovery
before he solved the mystery of his wife's
sudden change OF front. In roofing round
for a postage stamp at his wife's desk
one day he came upon an open letter. 1t
was Lauras second epistle and the hand
writing was so large that in spite Of him
self he could not help reading it. Dear
est Emily" 1t ran, this is too awful
Mrs. Lawson has just called here and
begged me to use my influence to bring
you to a sense of your duty. Think, dear,
of the peril in which you place all the
tenants Of this apartment house, Mrs
Lawson says she guessed it was smallpox
the moment she found out from her cook
that Charlie was still in the house after
you had declared he was out of town.
Mrs. Lawson is almost crazy. She threat
ems to report the case to the board of
health herself unless you remove him to
Brothers Island this afternoon. shall
pray for you night and day, dear Don t
: on any account answer this letter. Ever

MIR. BININs' ILLNESS.
some Remarkable Things That Hap
pened While He Was Shut In.

From the New York Evening Sun.
Two weeks ago, when Binks fell down
the elevated stairs and sprained his
ankle, his wife simply put her foot down
after this fashion: Now my dear
want you to understand one thing. Last
spring, when you were laid up with
grip. my life was made burden by
the troops Of men that were always
coming in to see you at any outlandlsh
hour This time l shall put a stop 10
that You will see no one, my dear You
need a rest anyway, ! shall tell every
one who inquiries for you that you have
gone out Of town"
That evening, when en- route TO her
apartment. the top-fioor neghbor way
laid Mrs. Binks in the elevator.
Il am so sorry to hear of Mr.. Binks'
Illness" she said; until your housemaid
mentioned it to our cook to-day l had
no idea that"
why. my dear Mrs. Lawson, what are
you talking about" replied Binks' better
three-quarters MY husband is not III
at all. He has just gone away to the
country for a rest"
Then he isn't here in his apartment"
"Alost certainly not snapped Mrs.
Binks Good evening"
Two days later a note came to Mrs.
Binks from an old friend at Larchmont.
The note ran this wise:
My Dearest Emily: I ran across our
friend. Mrs. Lawson, while shopping yes

down upon as a country lawyer, but the
old-timers soon found that Davis had
been doing lots of quiet and effective pre-
paratory work in his country office. He
had not only studied law, but he had be-
come a classical scholar. He had lifted
himself for great affairs.
Ignatius Donnelly of Minnesota once
said to me: Senator Davis first mastered
the English language. He not only stud
led law, but he had mastered it as very
few men do it, The average lawyer learns
only enough of the language to express
his views in some sort of way, but SEN

ulary and made it subservient to the calls
of his will Very little words sometimes
