THE KING AND HIS RECORDS
Edward VII Heads the List of sovereigns in Many
Achievements.

! drop" two Of the birds as they APP
proach him, take a second gun from
his loader and snap two more as they
pass overhead, and a third brace are
killed with a third gun before they can
get out Of range. This is wonderful
shooting, requiring absolute precision
and llghtning-like handling Of the gun,
and, though many crack shots can kill
four, and one or two five, birds in this
way, no one but the king can grass"
six.
Another record King Edward holds Is
that of yacht racing, in which he
stands easily al the top OF the tree,
having won more prizes and made
better average than any past or pres
ent yachtsman, whether royal. noble or
commoner His vessel-the Britannia
has taken over 200 prizes and cups. all

money value Of over Gl2,000 or $500
In value and % In number above any
other yachts record. The Britannia
would probably have won the America
cup, too, II she had been sent over,
for she used to easily beat the chal-
lenger Valkyrie III, before that ves-
sci went out 20 be beaten, only by A
very little, by the American yacht De-
fender And In practical seamanship
the king holds record. for he IS the
only monarch who can steer a large
yacht in a w0rkmanlike manner.
A laborious record that must be set
down to the king is the laying OF ga
foundation stones and first pieces" Of

King Edward holds an easy record
against all sovereigns or officials, liv-
ing or dead, for military honors, re-
views and practical commands.
He is colonel OF eleven regiments
apart from his Office as field marshal
commanding two German regiments,
one Russian. one Italian and the corps
Of Greek guards All these regiments
he has reviewed in person, and since
his twenty-frst year he has held $50
reviews, as against the kalser's 200
odd. and his various regiments give
him command over 1900 men.
The kaiser is generally supposed to
have done more army work than any
other living monarch, but he is a bad
second TO King Edward, holding COM
mand over seven regiments, three OF
them foreign, and the car ranks be-
hind both.
The king has also the record for
quick shooting, against all corners OF
any nation. at birds on the wing or
running game. There are plenty who
have made bigger bags, for he does not
care for piling up the slain against
time, preferring TO shoot quietly and
kin his game in good style. But In
actual shooting he holds the record
with feat be often performs-that Of
neatly bringing down six partridges
with six separate shots, out OF a single
Convey. These shots are all delivered
within as many seconds, each bird be-
ing picked out from the same bunch,
flying at a good 30 miles ,an hour. This
Is far more difficult shooting than
walking the birds up and killing them
as they rise, for they are put at a dis
tance, and come past like fash OF

No occurrence excited more curiosity
In England or more disgust among
right-minded people than the marriage
Of Miss Florence Jewell, a pretty Eng
fish girl with the savage King Loben-

1899 he went TO London as part Of a
show called Savage South Africa. :"
They were then married,
THE EXPECTED HAPPENS.
The handsome English wife Of King
LoDengula the dethroned negro mon

against him.
This is the climax TO one Of the most
astonishing and painful stories of mod

South Africa. She was not only hand

him.
He is a magnificent looking fellow.

TWO C0R0NATIONS.

Seventy-one years ago, in April. 1881
King William w went down to dissolve
parliament during the great tumult oc.
casioned by the reform bill. In the rob-
ing room OF the house of lords he said:
Lord Hastings, i wear the crown;
where is it2"
The crown was brought to him: but
when Lord Hastings was going TO put
1t on his head he said, Nobody shall
put the crown on my head but myself. "
He put II on, and then said 10 Lord
Grey Nov, my lord, the coronado
is over" As William had never been
|lcrowned, he should not have worn the
crown.
George Villiers, who was one OF the
spectators said that as the king took
his seat upon the throne Of the house,
with the loose crown upon his head and
the tall gaunt figure Of Lord Grey
close beside him, the sword of state In
his hand, II looked as IL the king had
his eXecutioper by his side. and the
whole might be an augury Of the reign.
In the following summer, when il
was decided that public coronation
was essential, the king gave orders
that II be short and cheap"
"A further contrast appears between
the attitude OF the wives of William
and Of his great-nephew Edward.
Queen Adelaide told Charles Greville
that she would have none Of their
crowns she did not like to wear "a
hircd crown" She had jewels enough
Of her own and would have them made
up to suit herself.
You will have TO pay for IT," said
William, slyly,to the young clerk of the
privy council.

shall pay for II myself"

 Early in last year George Edson shot his brother Robert to death in Rogue homme. The shooting occurred at the home of the brothers and in the presence of their aged mother. It was said that Robert Edson was sick in bed and that his brother claiming that Robert owed him 50 cents demanded that 1t be paid. The sick brother declared he could not pay the money and q controversy ensued with the result that George produced pistol and shot his brother to death.

When the trial came on at the October term of the Montgom- cry City Court the lawyers for Edson stubbornly defended the charge. Solicitor | Lomax was absent from the court and Judge William H.

 stayed.
 If the Supreme Court had affirmed the decision of the lower court the higher | court would have set a day upon whicf the sentence of the lower court should be executed. But the Supreme Cour' reversed the deere and Edson will get new trial.
