Flick Baby Got a Home.

REGISTER readers will remember the
account of the death of Mrs. S. d.
Flick some days ago at the family
home on east Lincoln street in this
city. 1t was very sad case, made
more so by the fact that a baby girl
was left motherless at the age OF
twelve days. Mr.. Flick had no rela-
tives in this part of the country and as
he worked at the smelters he disliked
to entrust the baby to the care of a
hired nurse.
With his consent the REGISTER an
nounced that some good, Christian
family could take the baby to raise,
AS result OF that notice this Office
received inquiries from half a dozen
people, all wishing to adopt, or repre-
senting people who wished to adopt, a
baby. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Lindsay,
of Humboldt have taken the Flick baby.
They saw the notice in the REGISTER,
made inquiries that we're satisfactory
to them and proved to M. Flick that
good home would be given the baby,

Although monarch OF the greatest
realm the world has ever known, King
Edward of Great Britain must admit
to certain restrictions upon his per-
sonal conduct that are not imposed
upon his humblest subject.
If the owner of the biggest and most
valuable business in Great Britain
were to write to the king offering him
a half share in all the profits from that
business for nothing it would be i'm
possible for the occupant of the throne
to accept this generous proposal. Just
as no clergyman or officer may com
bine business with his profession, so
the king must not become partner with
a subject.
Neither can he be tenant nor hold
anything Gin service from one of his
subjects. The old law on the subject
declares this to be beneath the kings
dignity. He may, however, accept the
post of executor under a will, but may
not act He must appoint someone to
do the work for him, for he is sup
posed to have his hands too full of
state duties to attend to trivial private
affairs.
Although, as may be known, the
monarch may dispense with his cabi-
net and most of his civil servants,
yet he cannot discharge the privy
council, but is obliged to call their aid
in deliberation. What is more, 1t is
against the British constitution for the
king to preside over the privy council.
Queen Anne was the last occupant of
the throne to do so. And although the
original appointment of members of
the privy council is royal privilege
yet the king may not select any for
eigner-that is, one born out of the
kingdom and not of British parentage
Ito serve.
The king cannot, exempt any class
of his subjects from duties imposed
upon them by act of parliament This
was proved when charter was
granted from, a certain college of
physicians exempting them from the
militia tax. After a big lawsuit the
Judgment was in this instance against
the crown. Nor is the king at liberty
to compel any one to lend him money.
The petition of right which contained
this stipulation meant it as strong
hint that taxes were in future to be
collected by the orders Of parliament,
not of the crown. j-.s-N4. 81,
Although the king may pardon a
malefactor, he cannot send him or any
other man to prison of his own au-
thority, nor has he the power of life
or death over any of his subjects. He
has, in fact, no legal power, for he
may not appoint Justice or any other
commission of the peace. The high
sheriff is the only functionary of the
kind whom he personally and unaided,
may appoint.
The king may make a will dealing
with his private property, but, though
during life the crown Jewels are his
property, he cannot will them away.
If he marry Roman Catholic a
king of England is liable to lose mis-
: throne 1t is necessary that he be a
member of the Church of England
and that he do not evade any condi-
tons of the coronation oath.

Heroine of EAST Lynne" Dead.

Heroine of East Lynne" Dead.
Ada Gray, whose fame and name are
intimately associated with East
Lynne" and who in her day was one
of the leading actresses of the stage,
is dead. Her death was announced
day or two ago at the Home for In
curables at Fordham, N. Y. She was
buried by the Actors Fund of Ameri-
ca, which has practically supported
her for the last seven years. Miss
Gray had been seen in Savannah al
most numberless times during her
long career. The later years of her
life were as sad as the lines of the
play with which she was so long con-
nected. Miss Gray early became as
ISOLATED with East Lynne" and her
success was so pronounced that she
confined herself entirely TO it. In 1894
she married Charles F. Tingay, an
English actor, who had come to this
country in Sir Henry IrWng's COM
pany. Miss Gray's life with her sec
ond husband was not happy, and her
health giving way, her financial pros
poets also dwindled to such an extent
that year after her marriage the
Actors Fund found it necessary to
provide for her and furnish medical
attendance.
She struggled on, however, for two
years in vain attempt to keep on
the stage, but in 1897 she was COM
PEELED to leave the stage forever. In
May of this year, her husband per-
suaded her, against the advice of the
house surgeons and of her friends in
the Actors Fund, to leave the Ford
ham Hospital and take up her home
with him in a small cottage on City
Island. Tingay then failed to provide
for her, and last May neighbors dis
covered that she was in a pitiable con-
dition.
She was taken back to the hospital,
and was subsequently removed to the
Home for Incurables, where she ulti-
mately succumbed to a complication
of diseases, principally locomotor
ataxia and kidney trouble. She was
60 years old.

HUSSARS BOWLING MATCH.
Gordon Sarssy and DIR. j. G. FARRELL
Were the winners


In the third of the summer bowling
contests held at the Hussars' Club last
night, the prize in the first class was
won by DIR. j. GO farrell, and in the
second class Gordon Saussy landed
first place. In one respect the contest
was peculiar. The winner in the first
class making $50, whereas the winner
in the second class made 1856 points.
This was due to the fact that the con-
test was closer in. the second class
than in the first.
A great deal of interest was mani
tested in the contest. and the alley was
well filled with players and spectators.
The first class was comprised of those
who during August made a score of
IT'S or better, and the second class of
those who had made scores ranging
between 125 and IT'S.
Among the entries in the first class
were FARRELL Walker, Eve. Howard,
Quantock Germany, Connerat, Ryon,
Fleming and Duckworth. The contest
in this class soon developed into a
triangular match between farrell, Eve
and Duckworth, and ended with the
three contestants occupying places in
the order named.
G.. Saussy, Woods. Harris and Theus
were among the most prominent as
pirants for honors in the second class.
Saussy won, Theus getting second
place.
The weather was rather hot for
bowling. but the contestants went into
the fight in negligee costume, and
seemed to enjoy the match as much
as if it had been pulled off in mid-win-
ter, 1

that ever lived" continued the player
but while he commands the respect
of every man on the ball field, he has
had his troubles. But he never played
the henpecked part. 1 remember a
game in which Kid Spear was catch
ing and Cantilion was umpiring. Joe
never likes to have a player try to
fool him, but Spear persisted in pull
ing the ball over, habit many
catchers have in trying to make UNI
pires call strikes. Joe warned Spear
n couple of times, but he persisted
The next time Cantilion brought his
knee UP hard against the nearest por-
ton of Spears anatomy to him, and
said:
g Now, will you pull 'em over when

'Of course Spear quit.
Bill Phillips, of the Reds. tells a
good one on Manassau, who umpired
in the American a couple of years
ago." said the yarn spinner. Indian
apolis and Kansas City were fighting
close for the pennant and they were
playing series with only two points
separating them. Phillips was pitch
ing for Indianapolis and the Hoosiers
had done lot of kicking, so much so
that Manassau got sore. At any rate.
the next time the Kansas Citys came
to bat Phillips sent up a perfect strike.

Another sample of the umpire's in
difference to kicking was given by
Brennan, who served for a short time
in the National League when the dou-
BILE umpire system was in vogue. Some
of the players got after him one day
and after hauling him over the Goals
somebody remarked that he was rot

HUBERT H. BROKE
SPOILED CHANCE OF WINNING
TROTTING RACE AT FAIR GROUNDS.
THICKETT oUTRAN KINGFULL.
MAssART's HORSE UNEQUAL TO
THE LONG RIM OF A MILE.

Pauline Took Three Out of the Six
Mile Heats-Robert f. Got Two-In
the Three-eighths Event Both
Hents Went to Jeme W., With I'M
perator Second-SmaII Attendance
at the Labor Day Racing Events.
There were probably not more than
$50 people all told at the
State Fair track to witness the
races scheduled as part of
the Labor day programme. The First.
Regiment Band was on hand to fur
nish the music and did, much to en-
liven things.
Three events were on the pro-
gramme. two running and one pacing
race. The latter was in six heats of
a mile each. Considering the size of
the crowd, the betting was lively, and
the bookies were said to have been hit
rather heavily. The officers of the
course were E. c. Gleason, judge; Fur
long, starter, and R. V. Connerat,
timer
The trotting event was split so as
to rest the horses as much as possible
and 20 add to the interest. There were
three starters, Robert F., Pauline H,
and Hubert H. The first heat went to
Robert F., Pauline, second, and Hubert
third. Time 2:35.
The second heat went to Pauline,
Robert F, second, and Hubert H, third.
Time, 2:27 In the first heats Hubert
broke badly and could not be gotten in
again until his chances were gone.
This was especially true in the second
when the runner was giving his oppon-
ents all they could do. The third heat
also went to Robert F. but in the
fourth Hubert's driver held him down
and he came in under the wire leading
nicely The fifth and sixth heats and
the race went to Pauline.
The first running race was exciting
for awhile but after the half the light
er horse showed that he was not equal
to mile pull and the Mcintyre entry
pulled away, winning easily. The en-
tries were Massart's Kingfull and Nc
Intyre's Thicket. On the toss Kingfull
won the pole and the pair dashed off
On the first trial, Kingfull in the lead.
He held it until the half was neared
when the other pulled up and at the
%ths got in the lead coming under the
wire a winner by several lengths. Time
1850.
The final event was a three lights
run, best two out of three heats. But
two We're run, Jessie w. winning BOTH
in Sc and :3S, Imperator second and
Whitefoot third in both.
