FOE WEEKS royalty 10 England had
been preparing for the opening OF
Parliament by the King aud the rivalry
among the women as to who should
"out shine" the other was never
greater. Money was no consideration
and jems and jewels, the Oldest and
rarest, were brought forth to be worn
on that great occasion. Some of the
women were so rash az to say that the
queen would not be "ln it" with them,
so far as jewels were concerned, but
how sadly they we're mistaken will be
seen from the following account Of
Queen Alexsndrs's appearance
THE Queen emerged. beautiful and
graceful beyond measure, In her how'

a perfect blaze of jewels. On her
head was a small diamond imperial
crown on o diamond cushion. Above
her throat was a diamond necklace,
six inches deep, of enormous stones,
with the Kohnoor as pendant, flashing
like the lightning. Her corssge was
covered with diamond clusters OF the
finest water. Suspended from Der neck
was an enormous rope OF pearls hang.

fered them OF any time In the future.
They advance 10 substance the same
reasons as those given In the Gazette q
few days ago. Some Of the papers re-
ferred to. however, are disposed TO
place the South in position to reap
some of the benefits from the millions sp'
propriated every year for pensions. aud
argue logically that q large percentage
of this appropriation is paid from inter-
nal revenue and other taxes derived
from the products of the southern
country. The Philadelphia Record
says:
"a refuge for the OLD soldiers OF the
South in homes supported by the gov
erpmeut might be reasonably asked for
by the people OF thst section. who are
contributing considerable part OF the
money that is lAvishly distributed In
the form of pensions, by which no
southern interest is benefited. An act
OF Congress providing separate esiao'
lishments for ex-Contederstes would be
@ new bond OF amity."

May Dissolve Bond of Dual Monarchy


Vienna, JaU. 18.-Politlcsl prophets
here state that the present year will
see the first step taken toward the en-
tire separation OF Hungary from Austria.
The root OF the whole difficulty is the
permanent conf ct bet@ esn Czschs and
Germans in Austria, whose rivalry par
aIyzes the R-ichsralh. 1.-THE govern.
ment inclines to Uzsoh views, the G-r-
mans obstruct; Tito German views, the

about a reconciliation aud compromisa
duriog the parliamentary vacation iai-
ed utterly, so that the paralysis of the
Rsichsrath will continue this session.
The present provisional compromise
with Hungary only extends till 1903
Absolute separation is o short and easy
step, bound to follow sooner or later
10 ten years time, Austria and Hungary
may well be two entirely separate couu-
tries, bitterly hostile TO one another.

The PROCEEDINGS of the coroner's
jury which is investigating the recent
terrible disaster in the tunnel OF the
New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad show that cautioDary and
danger signals are often passed by
engineers In charge of passenger trains
from the fact that they are &C.
casionslly obscured by fog and smoke.
These facts are calculated to fill many
with apprehension who are compelled
to patronizs railroads where tunnels
exist. There have been a number Of
serious railroad accidents recently, and
every preoaution should be taken by
those operating trains that is calculated
90 render travel safe. Some think the
companies should be made to use
electricity for motive power In tunnels.
This would doubtless minimize acct
dents to q great extent. Yet foRs
would still be a sourcs of danger to
trains compelled to make schedule time.

The trenches are dug by a peculiar pro-

two ropes are fastened and the ends are

shovel is manipulated by a third, who
plunges it into the earth as deep as his
