TAKING THE THRONE.
In Great Britain a Lot of Red Tape
Is Required.
FOrmaIitIes 10 BE Gone Through
With in Case of New Sovereign
Medieval Customs of
Proclamation.

Even though the heir and successor
of a British sovereign may be sitting
at the bedside of that sovereign when
death comes, as was the case at the
death of Queen Victoria, the new ruler
is not officially notified of the fact
that he haf succeeded to the throne
until the announcement is made to
him by the lord chamberlain. This is
the first step taken when British ruler
dies.
At the earliest possible moment the
priyy council conyenes, the members
of that body resign and are immedi-
ately reapPointed and resworn. At
their first meeting as advisers Of the
new sovereign the members of the
cabinet formally give up their seals
Of office, whereupon they also are re-
sworn to their respective DEPART
ments.
Both houses of parliament meet and
the announcement of the death of the
sovereign and the accession of his or
her successor is followed by each
member of both houses, beginning
with the royal dukes in the house Of
lords, taking the oath of allegiance
to the new ruler. Thus, while the
ministry, consisting of the leaders Of
the political party in power resigns
being Immediately reappointed-n6
election for members of the house Of
commons is called, and the business OF
the cOdntry Is not interrupted.
At the first meeting Of the priVy
council the new sovereign chooses the
titte by which he or she shall be known,
and takes the oath of allegiance be-
fore receiving those Of his or her coun-
cilors. This royal oath practically is
a promise 10 rule according to the let
ter and spirit of the constitution and
an acknowledgment of fidelity to the

The formal proclamation Of the new
king is worded by the members Of the
privy council, who, with one voice and
consent of tongue and heart. declare
and proclaim, the high and mighty
prince, etc. This proclamation is
given TO the earl marshal. the chief OF
the herald's college, for promulga-

prOclaiming the accession not only in
such public places as Trafalgar square
and the Royal Exchange but also

On the occasion Of the ascension OF
King Edward VII. the delegation from
the herald's college consisted Of three
kings at arms, four heralds and eight
pursuivants, dressed in magnificent cos

tachment of the royal horse guards,
marched to Temple Bar and formally
demanded admission within the pre-
cincts of the city.
The barrier, consisting # a silken
rope in place of the ancient gate, was
removed and the contingent was met
by one almost as brilliant. consisting
of the city marshal. the city remem-

where the lord mayor and sheriffs, in

This Dog Chews Tobacco.

"Old Peter jenkins, of our town, has
the only tobaeco-chewing dog I ever
heard Of" says Bristol pa man in
the Philadelphia Record. The dog is
now over ten years old, and, so far as
anybody knows, he has been slave to
the habit ever since he was a puppy.
Peter himself says ne doesn't remem-
Der how the pup acquired the taste;
maybe he was born with it. At any
rate, Peter never takes a chew without
offering one to the dog if he is around,
and the dog never refuses. If Peter
should happen to forget he would soon
be forcibly reminded of his oversight.
II is a curious thing to see the dog
lying with his head in his paws, work
ing his jaws over juicy quid. He swal-
lows it, tVq, apd It never seems to make
him sick"

county, Iowa, stOckman, landed in New

and still possesses the Identical "a cents,
which he will retain as valuable heir
loom for his children's children.
Alexander Mcdowell, clerk of the
house Of representatives at Washing
ton, although at present banker and
capitalist, was at one time a poor
compositor on an Oil City, Pa, weekly.
He is fond of telling how he laid the
foundation Of his fortune.
Senator Warren, although at present
surrounded by all the luxury of the
prosperous man, delights in telling
stories of the days when his bed was
pine box filed with hay in an attic
and when he had to get up every morn
ing at three o'clock, feed the cows,
split a lot of wood before breakfast
and then walk three miles to school.
A friend of William c. Whitney the
other day spoke of the latter gentle
mans lavish style of entertainment.
Mr.. Whitney said in reply: "Ihave the
money and can afford the expenditure.
It is the duty Of every rich man to
spend as much as he can afford, and
that is my way Of helping those less
fortunate than myself. Better give
employment than give aims"
