PROPHESIED SUDDEN DEATH
OF THE KING.

New York, June 26.-ln his
almanac for 1902 Raphael, the Eng
lish astrologer says in his horoscope
of King Edwards career that the
nativity cannot be called a fortunate
one and his tenure Of the throne
cannot be long. =
During the current year the
planetary influences are unfavorable
for health and the country general
ly," he says, land no sooner Will
| the country escape one trouble when
it will fall into another, for let no
one suppose that the nations affair
/ will proceed in the same quiet way
as when the Kings royoal mother
held the throne.
"Let great care be taken Of his
majesty's health and person, for his
demise, when in comes, will be
terribly swift and sudden, but let
us hope it will be many, many years
before that sad event takes place.

THROWING AWAY APPLES.

THROWING AWAY APPLES.
The Albert Lea Standard says
that Clarence Wedge the well known
horticulturist and nurseryman of
that place, is picking the apples from
his trees and throwing the fruit
away, for green as it now is it is
worthless. All except few of the
old trees on Echo farm will be
stripped of their apples, and most
of the tree on the 1taska place will
be treated in the same way. This
seems to be a wanton waste and it
is waste, but it is expected to
result in large profits next year.
A considerable surplus Of fruit is
the lost certain pospectfor this year,
and hence it will be cheap. Next
year the trees that have been over
burndened by their great produc7
tiveness will bear, scracely any
fruit, and so apples next year will
be scarce and dear. Thus the loss
now will be made good perhaps an
hundred fold from the next harvest.

CARRIE NATION AT FAIRMoNT

CARRIE NATION AT FA1RMONT.
Fairmont's saloons were too tempt
ing for Carrie Nation and after her
lectrure there Monday night she
entered one of them and proceeded
to lecture to the proprietors. The
saloon was full, likewise many of it
occupants, and genuine rag-ohewin e
match was had. which ended in a
riot and was only quelled by the
election of Carrie and her support

THE FOURTH.

The fourth was very quietly spent
in Worthington except an occasional
shock from the giant fire cracker.
The citizens went to various towns,
Lakefeld, Adrian, Sheldon and Spirit
Lake, the largest number to Sheldon
there being over one hundred on
the morning train. At Sheldon the
principal features were the races
which were good, tn re- being some
hard fought heats.
At Adrian, the ball game between
Adrian and the Minnesota Univers-
ity team resulted in defeat for the
visitors.
At Lakefield the Worthington
team won by a score of to 8. The
game is reported tu have been a
good one.
AT Spirit Lake, the principal
celebration took place at Arnolds
Park where every one enjoyed
themselves according to their own
fancy. Those going there from this
place had a tedious trip. "
The train was late leaving
Spirit Lake and on arriving at Lake
Park the train had to make a special
trip to Ocheyedan and when ready
to leave Lake Park the heavy storm
occurred. .Ths train was then held
there until the section men patroled

MADE KEYS WITH HIS TEETH

Will Render,a nergo, who escaped
from the city prison year ago and
was recaptured last Saturday night
came very near escaping again
"wednesday morning.,
Render had two pieces OF bent
wire. taken from the water buckets,
of which he had made skeleton keys
which. can open any lock in the
prison. It is now known that he
used similar wires when he escaped
before
A fellow-prisoner told on Render
by writing note to the turnkey.
When Render was searched the wires
was found secreted on his person.
Iron buckets are used to supply
the prisoners at the police barracks
with water, and the buckets have
heavy wrought iron handles. Render
removed two Of the handles, and
with his teeth bent them into the
shape desired. The turnkey, after
taking the wires from Render, tried
them in the cell door locks. and.
had mo- difficulty in showing back the
bolts.
The making of the keys out Of the
wire, and with no implement except
his teeth, showed Render to be a
decided mechanical genius.
A year ago Render was arrested
for COW stealing, and he and another
negro escaped from the city prison
is most mysterious way. 1t WAS
believed the turnkey had lefta door
open, and he was suspended for ten
days. When Render was caught
Saturday night he stated that the
other fugitive opened the doors
with a skeleton key. This was
told to throw suspicion from him
self. He will now be. kept closely
guarded. -Atlanta Constitution.

WHAT 2&sy sPECTACLEs q HAVE
VI BROUGHT ABOUT. Z 7

''spectacles, said an ophthalmolo-
gist, 'are as old as wagons, I sup
pose, or as clothes. Wasn't, pair
found recently in amummy case that
dated back to something like 300
years before Christie But the specta-
cles Of the ancients were merely
magnifying glasses, and the modern
sorts-the prismatic, the spherical,
the concave, the convex and he
cylindrical, which correct double
vision, refraction, myopia, hyper
metropia, astigmatism, etc.-are
comparatively modern inventions.
They are made of rock crystal, and
they have done much more good
than anything else in modern
medicine, except, perhaps anaes-
thetics. Medical records that there
is now 40 per cent less of blindness
than there used to be in the world,
and this improvement is due entire
ly to the use of spectacles, which
have kept weak eyes from succumb
ing as braces keep weak limbs from
succumbing. There is also much lesi
of headache than there was. A
great deal of that came, you know
from the eyes, and that sort Of
headache spectacles have banished
utterly.-Philadelphia Record.

FOOD IN SLOT MACHINES.

FOOD IN SLOT MACHINES.
Philadelphia correspondence of the
Chicago Inter Ocean: Philadelphia g
automatic lunch counter is doing a
thriving business. 1t was opened on
Chestnut street a few days ago,
and since then crowds have focked
to it daily.
Around the four ladies of a large
square room Hovening from round
fronting on Chestnut street are
various slot machines, the entire
contents of which are inclosed in
glass. Before you drop your coin
in the slot see what you are going to
yet, with tho exception of liquids.
Should you want cup of coffee.
cocoa or tea, you drop in your nickel
place your cup beneath the spigot
and out it comes. On shelf close
by are cream jugs and sugar bowl.
The beverages, glance behind the
scenes dicsloses, are kept warm by
the aid of steam pipes.
The cold food, such as sandwiches,
pie, cakes and buns is lowered
on automatic elevator. Each coin
dropped in the slot brings the re-
ceptacle down with the desired
tid-bit. All the hungry, purchaser
, has to do is to lift it off, and the
rest is easy. The only difficulty
seems to be to keep a table, for while
the customer is off dropping his coin
into slot some equally hungry
fellow comes along and usurps his
place. s'This will be adjusted when
the novelty wears off and we are in
good running order, ''said the man.

The slot lunch machine is by no
means complicated arrangement
For several years it has been
operated successfully in Germany.

KING EDWARDS POWERS.

KING EDWARDS RI POWERS.
Under the splendid and I'M
written constitution of Great Britain
and Ireland. the king may
'command" many things, yet he
only governs, through his parlia-
tnent.
In other words, the people are
consulted. and the commands" are
then given.
What, then, is the royal preroga-
tive2 ia.
First and foremost comes the
exercise of the royal cle1nency to-
ward convicted criminals. Although
the pet lions for the pardon of a
murderer are sent to the home Sec
rotary. The king has absolute
powers to pardon the criminal.
On the other hand, a statute
passed in the reign of George III.
makes it impossible for the king to
pardon a man who has been convict
ed under the old statutes of Charles
II. for. keeping his shop open on
Sunday.
By the ancient laws the king
could sell his entire navy or declare
war himself against any country.
The king cannot expel any one OF
his subjects from this coutry, but,
strange to say, he has the power of
recalling citizen from abroad, and
in time of war could issue procla-
nation compelling every man to
bear arms.
At present no member Of the
royal family thinks Of leaving the
country without obtaining his
majesty's permission, and this is as
it should be.
One of the most ancient and in"
. teresting privileges of the crown
Q concerns itself with the duchy of
. comwal|.
This valuable crown asset Jean be
isold by the king for the purpose OF
o concluding a peace, and his males ty
Q could, by the old statutes, wage
J. war for the conquest of Brittany
II In these practical days, however
n parliament would have to vote thu
o money for the war so that roya
r declaration would be of little rst
y without the support of the commons
ri In regard to the army the king
can disband the army and dismiss
is any officer in either service at hi
is own pleasure,
'e Needless to say, the king coule
et not do so without consulting hi
rs ministers, but his majesty does OK
?. ercise supreme command over tn
i, Household Brigade, and has upol
= several occasions exercised tn
{. roayl prerogative. While not
u penny of the public money could b
