IS MARRIED
CONFIRMATION OF REPORT THAT
SHE WELDED COUNT EsCURADo
"A GIRLHOOD LOVER.

MADRID October s.-Hoping to
reach a quiet solution of her conflict
with her son, King Alfonso, which
clash was caused by her morgantic
marriage with her late husbands mas
ter of horse and her lover of girlhOod
days at the court of Austria, Count
Escurado, Queen Maria Christina is
planning to spend the winter in Sc
vile. Here, intimate friends of the
Queen-mother say, she will put into
execution several carefully arranged
plans to bring about reconciliation
with the young King, whose rage knew
no bounds when he learned that on his
mothers recent trip to Austria she had
again married.
This news confirmed many reports,
carried to the King since he assembled
the throne by enemies of his mother,
of the attentions she had paid her first
lover while her royal husband lived 9.
He then learned that the master of
horse had secured his appointment at
the urgent request of his mother FL
lial obligation, the friends of the
Queen-mOther say will be the strong
point of her arguments with her son.
She will also argue that the courtiers
have always greatly magnitied harm
less acts on the part of their sovereign
and that these stories, having little
basis, have developed into court scan
dals that have separated royal fami-
lies. The Queen mothers pretense for
spending the winter in Seville is i'll
health.

MONEY SCARCE

MONEY SCARCE.
Money is getting scarce. People are
burning it, instead of coal.-Chicago

AGAINST OIL FUEL.

WASHINGTON, October 7.-On can
not compete with coal for naval use.
At least that is the conclusion reached
by the Board of Naval Engineers, who,
for many weeks, have been making a
series of practical tests with various
oil burners under a 1000 horsepower
boiler in this city. They have drawn
up a preliminary report for submission
to the Secretary, which will show that
out of the fourteen different devices
presented by American inventors for
tests not one would burn oil under a
naval boiler and produce steam in
competition with coal, even We're the
oil sold at 81 per barrel.

Y. NJ. C. A. DIVERSIONS.
(Communicated.)

The Y NJ. c. 4. Is planning an at
-tractive Tantalus trip for Saturday,
and the young women are invited to
share in it. Leaving the Association
building at 2:30, the party will tramp
up the trail reaching the summit in
time to see the sunset and eat supper
before dark At 1907 the moon only a
little more than full rises, so that an
easy descent may be finished soon after
8 o'clock. This is quite an improve
ment over the more hurried trips
which begin at and end at 6, and
large numbers should take advantage
of it. Each one takes his own supper.

One Of the first things done by a
stranger visiting Albany, says the
Philadelphia Can. is to pay % cents
and put himself at the mercy of n
capitol guide.
The guide makes a profound and
obsequious bow, like a prestidigltator
about to charm an audience, and pro-
ceeds to lift the veil which hides the
mysteries OF the great building.
On recent occasion the guide led a
stranger regretfully past 'McGinty's"
empty frame and proceeded to identi-
fy the heads of notables that decorate
the stairway. He did fairly well until
the stranger pointed out Shakespeare
and Homer and asked who they were.
Them" replied the guide, undaunt-
ed, "are the heads Of two politicians
whose names 1 disremember."

pressed "a Traveller.
We made q side trip to the big trees
Of the Mariposa group, which are
about one hours ride from the hotel,
says q correspondent. If the smallest
Of these trees could be planted any
where in Pennsylvania, the railroads
would run excursion trains TO il and
make money. The trees in this grove
are so large that 1t takes a good while
TO fully appreciate the facts about the
size of the biggest Of them The
Grizzly Giant Is 81 feet through at
the base and over 800 feet high. This
tree would oyertop the spires on the
Plttsburg cathedral by about 100 feet
The trunk Of this tree is 100 feet
clear to the first limb, which is 20 feet
In circumference Many other trees
here are nearly as large as this one,
and there are 400 IN the grove.
Through IL several tunnels have been
cut, and a four horse stage can go
through these tunnels on the run and
never Craze n hub. You get an ap-
proach TO an adequate idea OF their
size by walking of n hundred yards or
SO while the stage is standing Mt the
foot of tree and glancing from top
to bottom. keeping the stage IN mind
as a means OF comparison. The stage
and horses look like the little tin outfit
that Santa Clause brought you when
you We're a good little boy.
These trees are no longer TO be called
the largest i'm the world. however A
species of eucalyptus has been found
In Australia as large or larger. Emer-
son warns rs against the use OF the
superlative. but when you are in this
region of the globe you can't get along
without n liberal use of it. He himself

THE CHINESE EAR CLEANER.
One OF the strnnEe Sights to BE Seen
In Manila streets


I'm this city Of strange and unusual
sights there Is probably nothing that
appears SO strange at first sight to
the American as the Chinese ear clean
er pursuing his calling on the street
corners. The Chinaman so engaged is
provided with n stool and small
bamboo case in which are inclosed
his instruments.
The Filipino IS just as sure Of hav-
ing his ears cleaned on Sunday rs an
American Is Of having q shave. and in
the by streets and alleyways they line
up for all the world like n barber
shop on Sunday morning, the only
difference being the Chinaman can't
say next"
First OF all the Chino takes razor
which looks more like n propeller
blade than anything else. and. wiping
the victims face with a wet rag, pro
ceeds to mop the dirt therefrom. While

alton was anything but pleasant.-Ma-

BY this time one would think. near
ly everybody has ceased TO wonder
at the way In which newspapers can
come out with column after column Of
biography the very morning after
some eminent person has passed away.
and it Is an open secret that a care
fully written 'life' has been pigeon
holed in the Office for months-nay,
years-before.
Biographies, interviews. personal
paragraphs, all yield their quota to the
compiling Of an obituary, but I'm some
cases the subject has the grewsome
experience Of being waited upon while
yet living TO furnish materials for the
notice.-Cincinnati Enquirer
