The Oath Of Edward VII.
Upon ascending the throne Edward
VII solemnly declared in the presence

Upon ascending the throne Edward
VII solemnly declared in the presence
of the privy council at st. James:
will be always to walk in her footsteps. In UNI
dertaking the heavy load which now devolves up
on me am fully determined to be constitu-
tlonal sovereign in the strictest sense of the
word and, SO long as there is breath in my body,
to work for the good and amelioration Of my
people. Is. si-.4 sEsT. . 4. 54y
If the new king shall keep this pledge,
1t will be well for the British monarchy
and for himself. During the prolonged
reign of Victoria, the longest in Eng
fish history, whatever part the queen
had in the shaping of the affairs and
destinies of her vast empire came by
reason Of the exercise Of benignant and
wisely asserted influence rather than
through the assumption Of royal au-
thority. Her son does well to follow
In her footsteps. When the late queen
same to the throne, the status of the
English monarchy was not as clearly
defined as it now is. Her grandfather,
George III, asserted the royal preroga-
tive with something like the vigor of
Charles 1, and George ~ and William
" also endeavored to make the power
of the crown the all important factor
in government AS soon as Victoria
became queen she determined, proba-
bly, upon the advice Of her councillors,
to be simply constitutional monarch
and to make no attempt to interfere
with parliament or to resist the will of
the people as expressed by the commons
and the responsible ministers. Thus she
ruled by influence and not by authori-
ty, and at her death she was the most
respected and best beloved of all SOW
ereigns. Had she assumed in any con-
siderable degree the prerogatives exer-
cised by her ancestors it is more than
likely that the monarchy would not
have outlived her.
Edward VII comes to the throne rea.
sonably we'll equipped for the perform
ance of such duties as fall to the lot
Of constitutional sovereigns, though in
nothing has he attained eminence. Ex-
cept for the luster of a kingly name
and lineage, which counts for very
much in England, he is perhaps no
more fitted to be king than thousands
Of other we'll bred and we'll to do Eng
lishmen. He has sown his wild oats
and settled down to the estate Of dig
nifed gentleman and will make good
king as kings go. He is of kindly and
generous nature, and his sympathies so
far as he has been allowed to give pub
lie expression to them have always
been liberal and progressive and in a
measure democratic. His ascension to
the throne is not likely to lead to any
immediate or indeed to any remote
change in the constitution and charac-
ter of the empire. The England of Ed
ward VII will doubtless remain much
the same as was the England of Victo-
ria so far as the relations of sovereign
and subjects are concerned, and if the
new King fulflls his pledge to work for
the best welfare of the people he will
not prove an unworthy successor of the
good queen and good woman whose
passing England and the world mourn.

England's New Queen Consort.

England's New Queen Consort.
Thirty-eight years ago, when the ED.
est daughter of King Christian Of Den
mark was welded to the eldest son Of
Queen Victoria of Great Britain, the
English poet laureate sang:
Sea kings daughter from over the sea,
. - Alexandra! IF" =
Saxon and Norman and Dane are we,. s..
But all Of us Danes in our welcome of thee,
Alexandria! -.
1t was not long after the arrival Of
the princess that England made good
her welcome, and she has been making
it more real and hearty ever since
Shortly after the marriage her mother
in-law, the queen, went into retirement
on account Of the death Of the prince
consort, and since then it has been
upon Princess Alexandra that has
devolved great part of the social du-
ties that are SO largely the functions
of the queen regnant in a constitutional
monarchy. The chief duties which the
new queen will have to perform are
those which she has long been dis
charging and in such way as to en-
dear herself to- the English people. The
wisdom Of the heart" which is among
the best qualities of human nature and
an indispensable quality in a queen
and which was so conspicuous in the
life and career of Victoria, is not want
ing in Alexandra. Since the influence
Of constitutional king must be main
ly indirect and social, he could not
have a more useful helpmeet than the
new king Of England has in his queen.
Contemplating the social and domes-
tic virtues Of Victoria, for which she
will be longest and best remembered.
the world may sadly say, ''The queen
is dead" But in view of the gracious
and womanly qualities of Alexandra
it may well be said, "Long live the
queen!''

According to The Medical Record the
grip, or influenza, as it was formerly
called, is, all things considered, "the
most insidious and dangerous disease
which attacks civilized races" No spe-
cific for the malady is known, accord
Ing to this authority, and it's onslaughts
are not to be effectually guarded
against. The disease takes SO MANY
forms that it cannot be treated on any
general principles, but each case has to
be made a special study. Herein lies
the extreme peril of attempts at self
medication, and there is reason for be-
Aeving that many patients suffer more
from the effects of drugs unwisely cho-
sen by themselves or other amateurs in
the healing art than they do from the
influenza. The best preventive meas
ures are to strengthen and brace up the
system by living an active, healthy life
and especially by avoiding the badly
ventilated and overheated rooms which
are characteristic Of American homes
and public and semipublic buildings.
On the first suspicion of an attack the
sufferer should consult physician and
be guided by reason and clinical expe-
Renee. These teach rest in bed, the
avoidance Of drastic agents and above
all the curbing Of the desire to leave
the sickroom until after the seeds Of
the disease are entirely eliminated
from the system. AS in the case of all
contagious maladies, thorough ventila-
ton is a prime desideratum. "While
Influenza" adds The Medical Record.
lis self limited disease and mild and
uncomplicated cases may safely be left
to the resources of nature, it Is unfor-
tunately true that the disease has to a
greater extent than any other the fac
ulty of attacking some weak spot in a
persons armor; hence complications
are numerous and in virtue Of the COM
plications and sequeln often prove dis
astrous. The most common complica.
tons and sequeln, it is superfuous to
remark, are respiratory affections, of
which pneumonia is the most fatal"

EDNA VILLAGES BROTHER.
Accepts 5000 Cash and 800 n Month
as His share of S2O0,O0O Estate

Chicago, Dee. 94.-Thomas Wallace,
the only brother of Edna Wallace Hop
per, the actress, and a joint heir with
her to a fortune of over 100000, to- day
relinquished his claim to the. estate for
$500 cash and promise of 500 a month
during his life.
Thomas Wallace has lived in Chicago
for years. and is engaged in the saloon
business. Mrs. Wallace, the mother,
after being a widow for many years,
married A. l.. Dunsmuir, a wealthy
Californian, the marriage taking place
after Edna Wallace was divorced from
De Wolfe Hopper. A few weeks
after the marriage Mr.. Duns-
muir died leaving his widow the
entire estate. Soon after Edna Wal
lace Hopper announced that she would
never marry again as long as her
mother was living. and while she was
preparing for visit to her she re-
ceived word of her mothers death.
When the will was probated it was
found that Mrs. Dunsmier had left the
bulk of her fortune to her daughter and
$4,000 to her son, to be paid to him
when he reached the age of As years.
Since the death of his mother, Thomas
Wallace has frequently appealed to his
sister for assistance. Feeling that
some kind of an agreement should be
made with her brother, Miss Hopper
came to Chicago and negotiated the
settlement

Guarding the sub-Treasury.
From the New york Tim

TIOHi .tHt 4NtW IOIh L
1t was sharp-fared guard in the
Sub Treasury in Wall Street who got
his eye on the visitor and watched
him closely to the point of annoyance.
The visitor. who was there on busi
Eess, had occasion to wait in the cor
ridors Of the building. and, not being
a frequent caller there, he was UNI
used to the customs of the employees.
Waiting for anybody?" asked the
guard, walking up to the stranger in
a businesslike way.
Yes; why?"
who, please? 1t is my business to
ask. | am one of the guards here
The stranger pricked up his ears and
told his business and occupation.
That's all right. then" explained the
guard. AS he was walking away he
was asked:
rs all,that show rule of the de-
partment or is it pure vigilance?"
No said the guard sweeping the
broad floor between the latticed office
windows. lit is not exactly a rule, but
it Is a common sense precaution.
DO you expect any one to poke in
here, somehow and be fool enough to
try to rob this place with half dozen
armed guards sitting about?"
The Question seemed to please the
guard and he unbent.
SRI tell YOU how II is. / have been
in this place just six years now and
never yet have I gone to my post in
the morning without saying to myself
To-day. maybe. something big will
happen That, l think. is the way we
all feel down here, and there is no
reason why we should feel otherwise
In all the scheues that you. presum-
ably an honest man. can suggest. there
is not one that would hold water in
the proper looting of this place. SINH

"But Il is the next fellow we need
to watch for The impossible has hap
pened too often before 1t can happen
again. There is not a point. not even
the contingency Of sudden mob violence
which has been overlooked in the
guarding of the Treasury here. But
what we do fear is the one single pro-
ject that hat reen overlooked--'the

Here and there when strangers are
asked their business. in case they show
a disposition to loiter, they become

make the tour across the open floor

see from where he was standing.

The discovery of .he nests and eggs

inhabits the dense scrubs and has been
known TO science some seventy years
Both eggs and nest arc peculiarly

We have never. noticed the shy, timid

Papers.
Washington Dec. 24.-Eighty- seven
big turkeys were distributed to the
White House policemen, messengers,
ushers, servants, gardeners and stable
men to-day with the compliments of
the President Each turkey had on it a
card bearing the seasons compliments.
The distribution was the largest ever
made at the White House. President
Mckinley always gave turkeys to the
married employees, but the list of recip-
tents was never so large as that of to-
day. The turkeys were distributed by
Henry Pinckney, the White House
steward.
Express wagons, mail carriers and
messengers bore numerous packages to
the White House to-day presents to
the Roosevelt family from friends and
admirers throughout the country
Many of the packages were for the
children, who will not be allowed, how
ever, to have them until tomorrow.
The programme at the White House
tomorrow will follow the custom of
the family in former years. There will
be no Christmas tree, as a tree has
never been a part of the celebration of
Christmas in the family The children
however, all hang up their stockings
and they will arise early tomorrow
morning to visit them and ascer-
tain what Santa. Claus has
left for them. Later in the morning
the children will assemble in the Ii
brary, there to receive gifts from their
father and mother. In the afternoon
the Roosevelt juveniles will go to the
home of their uncle and aunt, Capt.
and Mrs. Cowles, to see pretty Christ
mas tree and receive other presents.
The Christmas dinner will be served at
1880 o'clock, and only the family will be
present.
On Thursday, if the weather permits,
it is probable that the Roosevelt family,
including the President will go down
the river on a cruise. Theodore, Jr., is
going ON a hunting trip with Dr..
RiXey, and is very anxious that his IA
Their should accompany him. The Pres
ident is inclined to do so If public bust
ness will permit. Even if the President
cannot go it is the present intention of
Mrs. Roosevelt and some of the other
children to accompany DR.. Rixey and
Theodore, Jr.

ARBITRATION THEIR OBJECT.
ArSentine-Chili Imbroglio Agitates
Pan-Americam Congress.

City of Mexico, Dec. 24.-Though the
Pan-American conference as a whole
will undoubtedly fall back, in the mat
ter of arbitration, upon The Hague
convention, 1t is learned that a number
of the South American nations will
join among themselves to sign a sep
arate convention of compulsory arbi-
tration. Some of the nations who will
sign the compulsory plan will not re-
fuse to sign the milder Arrangement
to be formulated by the Congress, but
others like Argentina, are so bent on
compulsory arbitration that it was
claimed they will decline to sign any,
thing less radical
Nowhere is the Chill Argentine dis
pute followed with greater interest
than in Mexico just now. Articles ser
ting forth both sides of the dispute and
supposed to be furnished by the repre-
sentativeS of the nations at the PAN
American conference appear in the
daily press.
If war were to break out the con-
ference would almost certainly dissolve
as there is little question that the Ar

pathize with them would withdraw.

MAY RAISE rRAINMEN's WAGES.
General Managers Think This
Would Give More Efficient Service.

General Managers Think This
Would Give More Efficient Service.
Chicago, Dec. 24.-At a special meet
ing of the general managers associa-
ton held here to-day a movement was
started which may result in a general
increase in the wages of trainmen, en-
ginemen, firemen and switchmen on all
big railroad systems east of Chicago.
The meeting was called at the re-
quest of the Pennsylvania company,
the causes being the coal shortage in
Chicago and other cities, shortage of
cars and power and the congested con-
dition of traffic in general. The coal
situation, however was the moving
cause for the meeting and discussion
regarding it led to a canvas of the en-
tire situation.
In the opinion of a majority of the
general managers the general conges-
ton is due in a measure to inefficiency
of the service rendered by employees,
and this view led into a discussion OF
the labor and wages situation from
railroad standpoint. Although no for
NAL resolution was passed upon the
subject, it was generally agreed that
raise in the wages of employees would
do much toward stimulating them to
better work, which, in turn, would help
relieve congested conditions as well as
to prevent them.
