TITLES OF ENGLISH KINGS.
Many Changes Made Since the Days
of Edward the COnfessor.

of Edward the COnfessor.
From the London Mail
The new title which is to be bestowed
upon Edward VII is tardy recognition
of his sovereignty over Canada, Aus
tralia and the other self governing col
onies of Britain, adds another to the
already long list of terms by which
our monarchs have been called.
Edward the Confessor in the Saxon
style was king of the English" On
assuming this after Hastings William
l added patron of the Normans" VIII
liam Rufus was King of the English
and Duke of the Normans," also add
ing the pious Del Gratia omitted by
his father. To this Henry II added
Duke of Aquitaine
The accession of John brought two
changes. He was the first to style
himself King of England" instead of
King of the English" Conquest gave
him also the title of Lord of Ireland" :"
With Edward II came the title king
Of France Not until so years ago did
this cease to be part of the British
royal title. Until the sixteenth century
English monarchs were called king
of England and France and Lord of
Ireland"
The ordinary form of address was
your grace" Henry VI became "his
most excellent grace" while Edward
vi was high and mighty prince" and
Henry VII his grace" or his high
ness"
Henry VIII increased the royal dig
nifty. He was the first king of Ire
land" and also the first to add the dis
tinguishing numeral to his name.
1t was Henry VIII, too, who first
bore the title defender of the faith
The Pope bestowed it upon him for his
attack on Luther Afterward when
Henry deserted Rome the holy father
Cancelled the title. But Henry liked
1t so well that he had an act of Parlia-
ment passed conferring the title on
him and his successors forever. Since
then English monarchs have been de-
tenders of the faith
In addition to these alterations, Hen
ry also changed the usual form of ad-
dress and reference. Until 1927 he was
content to be called his highness. -
but thereafter he was "his majesty"
Elizabeth was frequently styled "the
most high. mighty and magnificent
Empress Elizabeth, by grace of God
Queen of England, France, Ireland and
of Virginia, Defender of the Faith"
With James 1 came, of course, the
additional king of Scotland" He
also styled himself Most Sacred Maj
esty."
Thus the title remained for a cen
tury, when the act of union made Anne
Queen of Great Britain, France and
Ireland, defender of the faith,' with
the general address of "her Most Ex-
cellent Majesty"
Just hundred years ago this Irish
union made King George III "King oi
| the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland and France and defender
of the faith with the address of "his
Most Gracious Majesty"
So the style remained until in 1875
tardy recognition was made of the
| Queens sovereignty over India by the
| conferment of the title Empress o1
| India" This excited much insular op-
position that it was stipulated that the
! title should not be used in the United
Kingdom. But modern coins now beal
the legend Ind. Imp.

Editor Morning News Some two
weeks ago l so modified my petition
for street franchise that. / asked
Council to simply grant me the use of
Montgomery street to the market, or
to Bay street, so that an electric rail-
road between Savannah and the White
Bluff section could be in operation by
the coming summer.
j urged upon Council the Importance
of immediate action as the time is
growing short. At the same meeting
Mr.. Baldwin, the president of the old
Parsons line, had a petition in asking
for certain streets. At the last meet
ing of Council Mr.. Baldwin's petition
was acted upon and the White Bluff
petition never referred to.
1t is strikingly strange that the pres
ent railroad can always get what it
wants, and an effort to get a comDet-
ing line here seems to be an impossi-
binty. Some days ago one of our all
dermen wanted Mr.. Frank to resign
simply because he did not believe that
Council was doing the right thing by
the people. The same alderman stated
that as Mr.. Frank was not in sympa-
thy with the administration he was
going to make II a point TO tell him
to resign.
Now Mr.. Herman Myers. the Mayor
OF Savannah, comes out on the same
line and says, that some member OF the
Park and Tree Commission who is In
sympathy with the administration
should be elected chairman in the
place OF Mr.. p. ID. Daflin / wish TO

BORN ON THE ROAD.
A Family That Keeps on the Move
Nearly All of the Time.

NC0hAN All VI
From the Omaha Bee.
A lank, loose -jointed man, with a
scraggly growth of blonde beard on
his face, slouched up to the window
of the desk sergeant at the city Jail
the other day and asked for his pack
age. He was followed by a woe-begone
woman and three children of uncertain
age, who had just heard the husband
and father explain to the police Judge
that he had never been drunk before
on the streets of Omaha.
You must be a stranger in these
parts" observed the sergeant, as he
sorted out the parcels.
Yes, 1 don't make these big towns
much"
Make the towns! Then are you a
travelling MANI"
Wal, sort of, yes. Me and the old
woman and the kids keep on the muve
pretty much all the time"
How do you travel?"
Covered wagon. There's only three
states in the Union that we amt been
in" This with a glow of pride.
How long have you been at it?'
Something like ten years"
The sergeant sized/up the children,
and inferred that in that even all
three must have been born on the road,
as the eldest appeared about 8 years
of age. He made known his observa-
ton.
'Y-a-s," drawled the father, as he
signed for his package. Charlie here
is a Studebaker, Bobbie is Mitchell,
and little Emma is a South Bend"
The children were designated by the
wagons in which they were born, and
he had swapped wagons three times.

I'VE beg to reply that the proposal
declaring Panama, Colon and the rail-

something that we would gladly hail
as an accomplished fact. However,
I'VE recognize the difficulty, if not the
imposibility of its Accomplishment We
are extremely anxious to do all in our
power to lessen the mortality and use
less waste Of property, yet it must be

ton, and this we shall under all cir
cumstances insist upon. The govern
ments having special treaty rights
