Queens Gift to Servant Girls.
London, June 12.-Queen Alexan-
dra is responsible for a more novel
feature of the coronation festivities
than the kings dinner to 100000 poor
persons. She has decided to- enter
tain 10000 London servant girls at
tea and to give each of them a brooch
bearing a representation of her own
and the kings head.
The queen thought that while ev-
erybody else would be in the streets,
the housemaids would probably be de-
tanned inside by their duties, and she
determined that they should not be
forgotten. London will be divided in.
to districts and the public school
houses will be used for the teas the
day after the coronation. Questions
Of creed will not affect the selection
of her majesty's guests, The queen
will drive around and visit the vari
Gus places in which the teas will be
given.

how secretary Root Rests.

Secretary Root is generally recog-
nized as one Of the hardwCrking mem
bers of the cabinet. Indeed, some of
his friends have felt called upon to
warn him that his exertions in the in
terests of the war department often
carry him past the line of prudence.
but the secretary has been known,
a Y the Washington Star. to rest his
brain when the fact is entirely unsus-
pected. A short time ago a delegation
from one of the southern states called
upon him to urge the establishment Of
a large camp in a certain part of their
state. Almost Immediately after they,
had left the department IL newspaper
man saw the secretary and asked:
"Mr. Secretary. in what part OF -
did they want the camp located?
Mr.. Root looked just the tiniest bit
embarrassed. Then he came out with
it. Honestly. l do not know" he
said.
They had talked it to him for nearly
half an hour. and he had not heard it.

THE LOOP A HooDoo.
Ricyclist Number Three Injured While
Trvinu "Loop the LOOP"

Ricyclist Number Three Injured While
Trying "Loop the Loop"
Minneapolis, June q 13.-Clarence
Hamilton, a trick bicyclist, brought
here from New York to 'loop the
loop at the Elks' fair, followed the
example of his three predecessors and
fell from the giant wheel on the inside
of which he tried to steer a bicycle.
E. l.. Fitzpatrick, John Larson and
Josiah D%ougherty had each been in
jured in attempting the feat, and Ham
ilton, known as Moncrief, was hasten
ed from New York, where he has been
looping the loop in. a similar contriv-
ance for several weeks. In his sec
ond attempt he left the rim of the big
loop just as he neared the top and
was riding head downward. He was
hurled with terrific force among the
spectators and had several ribs frac-
tured, beside suffering internal injur-
les. He is now at a hospital in a seri-
GUS condition.
The trick depends on the scientific
principle that permits one to swing a
bucket of liquid over the head without
| spiling any of the contents. Though
the manager of the fair has witnessed
| successive failures of the four who at
tempted the feat and narrowly escap
ed death, the effort to give the per
Torrance has not been abandoned.

SOLDIERS CLEAR STREETS.
Mayor Asks Governor to Take Militia
Away.

Pawtucket, r. l., June 13.-The first
duty today of the militia who are as
sisting the local authorities in main
tanning order in accordance with n
street railway strike, was to clear the
streets of all debris, which had &C
cumulated during the night or a
been placed on the tracks to hinder
the resumption of traffic. When this
had been done, the street railway COM
pany was notified by General Tanner,
in command of the troops, that the
road was unobstructed, and prepara-
lions were made for sending out cars.
Although during the latter part OF
yesterday afternoon and last night
there were no serious disturbances,
there was no relaxation today in the
vigorous measures put in force on yes
terday.
There is a strong feeling, not confin-
ed to one class of citizens, against the
deputy sheriffs who have discharged
firearms during the strike. This feel
ing was particularly noticeable after
the shooting of the boy, Venner Pet
erson. yesterday. The feeling towards
the militia is more friendly.

KILLED BY HIS INVENTION
FAME AND FORTUNE WERE JUST
IN SIGHT.
Car on Aerial Toboggan Slide Broke
Loose While Being Tested
for First Time.

New York, June 13.-Herman O..
Moritz, a Brooklyn %inevntor 62 years
old, was killed at Coney Island by a
device on the invention of which he
had spent more than a quarter of a
century and all Of his savings.
NORTH invention was an aerial to-
boggan slide.
Permission had just been granted to
operate it, all the laws of the depart
ment having been complied with.
The first car was empty and went
without trouble. Other cars with per.
sons in them were sent over The de-
vice seemed to be working to perfec-
ton, and as the various cars, n at
ter another, went down the steel slide
, and came up with a round turn,
Moritz stood and looked on, his face
beaming with pleasure.
He fairly shouted for JOY The
dream of the last Is years OF his life
was realized, and his face beamed
with delight as his friends alighted
from the cars and pronounced the con
structicn a success, and as certain tc
make him a fortune. Inspector Ritten
house and Charles Otis, a friend OF
the inventor, rode in the last car t.
be tested. Moritz stood at the foo
of the incline. The a had nearly
reached the top "a distance of 70 feet
There was a cracking sound, a shout
and Rittenhouse and Otis shot back
ward. Their a had failed to holt
the steel dog until the top Of the in
cline had been reached.
It came down with great velocity
straight for the place where Morit'
was standing. The a was almos
upon him when he turned to get on
of the way. It was too late, the heav!
vehicle struck him in the back, knock
ing him through a wire netting and gu
into the Bowery walk. He died tw,
hours later.
Rittenhouse and Otis were not ser:
ously injured.

Il Is Quiet at Duryea.

W~ilkesbarre, Pa, June 13.-For the
first time this week there was no DEM
onstration in the vicinity of the Lee
high company's William A colleriey at
Duryea today. The strikers efforts to
have the men keep the peace have
been successful, and there was no
gathering of idlers at the colliery to
annoy the workmen. The Lehigh Val
ley company has followed a policy
of keeping its guards in the back
ground SO as to avoid any serious
clash, but the attempted shooting OF
it's division superintendent on We'd
nesday night has caused it to change
it's method, and last night and today
extra coal and iron police were sent
to the colliery, and they were dis
tributed around the mine in conspic-
uous places. It is the company's in
tention to take no more chances Of
having it's employees injured.
An attempt was made last night to
start up the pumps in the colleries Of
the Susquehanna Coal company at
Nanticoke, but the effort was defeat
ed by the engineers quitting work al
most in a body.
There is a very large number of
armed coal and iron police in that
vicinity, which fact has caused much
uneasiness there.
Reports from all affected territory
show the situation to be quiet today.
President Mitchell had nothing to
give out of any Importance regarding
the anthracite strike. He said the
strike was complete, and there was
nothing to do but wait.
