ENGLANO'S QUEEN.
Alexandra Is Nearly 81 Years Old, but
Appears Young.

Queen Alexandra Is so years old, and
nearly 81. yet she does not look a day
over 45, and in certain lights and in GER
tain shades she would pass for IS.
There are very few women who can
cheat Father Time out of his due by as
much as five years, let alone twenty
five. Her daughter Louise, who is I'M
der 40, looks older than she. Her IN
married daughter. Victoria. who is "a.
looks no younger Her baby" the
Princess Carl of Denmark, aged 81, is
about the same age in looks.
When Alexandra. the daughter Of the
Sea King. as old King Christian is
called. was born. she came into the
world the first daughter of family
that was destined to have many daugh
ters and sons. Christian. then an insiy
niticant prince. reared Il large family
and his wife Louise looked after their
virtues and education. They grew up
beautiful. every one of them. from
Frederick. the Crown Prince. to the
three daughters and the younger sons.
George and Waldemar.
And they We're accomplished. won

known Il Dane! II you have. you have
known one who could work and who
was willing to do so; one who could

~ all at once. The three daughters of
the Sea King sewed and painted sang
and worked in the garden. They lived
not so much rural as town life,
though they spent their spare time Off
at n little Daish castle where the city
ways never crept. Their mother taught
them all the pretty arts Of the world,
and Mt IS they We're ready to make a
debut into the courts of Europe.
The bride came to England thirty
nine years ago. and England went wild
over her. She rode through London in
the royal carriage, and Englishmen
wept at sight of her. So much lowell

Tennyson. then poet laureate, wrote an
ode to her. and she found herself well

they are split into shreds. but not sep
arated at the stalk end, and immersed
in boiling water for short time and
bleached in the sun.
These strands are about yard long
and about Il half inch wide. Before
they are ready for the braider they are
rolled from either edge and become
round, and then they are again pressed
fiat and are ready for the weaver. In
order to work the material it must be
dipped into water every few minutes.
II this is not done the strands become
brittle and break. A hat to command
a high price must be perfect, and In Or
der that it may be so and have no loose
strand. no broken part, the weavers
never work in the hot hours Of the day.
and many Of them do their weaving
only at night, by candle light.
A first-class hat usually takes about
six months to make. The value Of hat
depends entirely upon its texture and
pliabillty. One that costs $500, for ex-
ample, should be so closely woven as to
appear practically smooth to the naked
eye. 1t is. Of course, made in one piece,
and If the owner has not been cheated
he should be able to squeeze his hat
through finger ring. But a hat capa-
bic Of this treatment is about as rare as
blue diamond.
The craze for Panamas began last
year and since then the Panama hat in
dustry has become more lucrative than
any other in that part Of South America
adjoining the isthmus, and with ,na
prospects Of making fortune in few
years many planters have abandoned
the raising Of coffee and rice. The
mountain passes Of the Andes, from
Chmborazo northward, teen day and
night with large columns of pack mules
and OK carts bearing their precious bur
den to Panama. The streets of Panama
itself are fianked with the establish
ments of hat brokers. and half the city
is engaged one way or the other in help
ing to further this American craze"

Before 1897 all Of these hats were Of

shape has been improved, but the
method Of making the hats is the same
as it was many years ago, when they
received the name panama" because
they began to come by way Of that
place to the United States and other
distant countries. The material used in
the making Of Panama hats Is the

SALISBURY RESIGNS.
AGED Premier Of Great Britain
Passes Reins OF Power Over
to A. J. BalfOur.

London, July 1.-THE fact of the
resignation of the premiership of Great
Britain by Lord Salisbury has been
officially given out The prime minis
ter laid down the responsibility of his
office July II.
Within "a hours his ma jesty elevated
A. J. Balfour. the governments chief
representative in the house of commons,
to the position of premier.
While it was expected in political
and commercial circles that Lord Sails
bury's retirement would be coincident
with the coronation of King Edward, it
was carceIv looked for prior to that
event. Consequently about the only
surprise expressed as the news spread
through London concerned the date
rather than the fact of the resgna ton.
The real interest was not so much in
reference to Lord Salisburv's withdraw
al as it was in the appointment of his
successor. The liveliest speculation is
rife as to the personnel of the new cab
met The most discussed feature of the
pending changes is the position of Mr..
Chamberlain. the colonial secretary.
who in many quarters has been regard
ed as the most promising candidate for
the premiership.
1t is generally believed that Mr.,
Chamberlain and Mr.. Balfour will
work in harmony, however.
London, July l5.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach has resigned US chancellor Of the
exchequer.
Perhaps never has a change of pre-
miers effected so title dislocation TO
business. either public or private, as ac-
companied the transfer of the seals of
office from Lord Salisbury to A. J. Bal
four The occurrence had no effect
whatever on the stock exchange. The
only other change in the cabinet thus
far announced is the chancellor of the
exchequer, though others are fore
Swallowed.
The resignation of Sir Michael Hicks.
Beach caused intense surprise. 1t was
generally taken to be almost more inn
portant than Lord Salisburys =, and was
regarded in some quarters rs being
directly due to the more important
voice which Mr.. Chamberlain will have
in the new cabinet.
John Redmond, leading member of
the Irish party in the house of COM
mons, said to Il representative of the
Associated Press:
at will have more immediate and
material result than Lord Salisbury $
retirement. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
was an excellent check on Chamberlain,
who is now practically all powerful"

CHINESE CHANGE
SIR LANG CHEN TUNG SUCCEEDS
MINISTER WI.
New Ministers to- Russia, France
and Italy Have Also Been Named,
the Selections Showing Dipio-
matte Service Looked Upon as
Unimportant by the Empress.

Picking, July l4.->ir LANG Chen
Tung secretary to the embassy to the
coronation of King Edward, has been
appointed Chinese minister to the
United States. New ministers to Rus
sa, France and Italy have also been
named. The selections for these posts
show that the dawager empress contn-
ues to regard the diplomatic service as
unimportant. None of the appointees
is of higher than the blue button rank,
and none has held any important office.
All of them except LANG Chen Tung
are unknown to to the foreign commu-
nifty.
LANG Chen lungs appointment
pleases the Americans here. The newly
appointed diplomat was educated in
America. He is a graduate of Yale
university. and is able, dignified and
honest He is the first of the body Of
students sent to America in the 70's to
receive recognition betittng their ac-
complishments, the Chinese officials
having liked them because of their pro-
gresslve views.
Washington, July 14.-Mr. WI, the
Chinese minister at Washington, was
not surprised to hear of the appoint
ment of a successor to himself, as he
had been expecting an announcement
of this character for some time. He
has received notice that his services
will be required in another capacity
and for this reason has been prepared
to hear of the naming of his successor
at any time.

And her soul brmmed over with innocent

And if pain must meet you, why, all the

But our tears should fall like the dear

THE PRECIOUS PANAMA.
North American Craze for Hats Keeps

The Panama hat craze Is proba bly,
the most expensive fashion ever adopt

for a trip to Europe or to keep young

Reszke reached the top notch-he paid
$500.
These figures are Of course away
above the average. but no Panama

$25. II you aim to have hat that may
be tucked away in vest pocket like
a lead pencil or slipped through a finger
ring you must be in the coupon-clipping

MARRIED AT SIOUX FALLS
Mr.. Rowley and Miss Welton Were
United in Marriage in Sioux
Falls Friday Noon.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, 10:
Clarence D. Rowley of Sioux Falls
and Miss Blanche E. Welton Of
Peoria, ILL.,, were united in marriage
at high noon today at the chapel Of
St, Augusta cathedral by Bishop W.
Il. Hare. The ceremony was per-
formed in the presence of the father
OF the bride who came on from Peoria
for the ceremony, and a few intim-
ate friends OF the contracting parties.
While this happy event had been
anticipated but few Of the most in
innate friends of the contracting
parties had been given a line on the
nearness of the event. Both are
among the most popular young people
Of the city. The bride with her
parents lived in Sioux Falls a num-
Der OF years and is still claimed as
a Sioux Falls girl. She has always
been very prominent in musical
circles. Mr.. Rowley is connected
with the Minnehaha National bank
and during his residence in Sioux
Falls has made a large circle of
warm friends. He too. like his wife,
has been prominent in musical cir
cles.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rowley will receive
the hearty congratulations and good
wishes of their hosU OF friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Rowley arrived in
the city Friday evening via the
Omaha road and remained over
Sunday at the home of Sid w.
Smith. The bride is we'll known in
Mitchell, having made her home
here for the past wear while she
was studying voice culture. Her
many friends will extend their
hearty congratulations over her ad-
vent into matrimony. She is a
charming young lady and will make
a good wife to the man of her choice.

TWAS A GENUINE TREAT
Miss Ridgeway and Her Company
Richly Entertained Lecture
Course Patrons Friday.

Much was said in advance of the
coming of the Katharine Ridgeway
Concert Co. and much was expected
of the entertainment. When the
concert was over there was a feeling
of great satisfaction with the manner
in which the members of the COM
pany acquitted themselves. 1t was
the fourth of the lecture and concert
course, and the concert was given in
the opera house.
Miss Ridgeway is the stellar attrac-
tion of the company, and well is she
entitled to stand at the head of all
entertainers who have come this
way. Her presence on the stage is
magnetic, and from the time she
gave her opening number, a classic
gem Of the days of the Roman en-
pire, to the close, when she recited
the decidedly humorous selection of
the colored Lochinvar. she held her
audience spellbound, enraptured.
Her subtle influence seemed to spread
out owe the audience and touch
every heart and then she played
upon the strings with a master hand
and her art was unfolded in selec-
tions varying in intensity of dram
attic action and Evolutionary effect.
Miss Ridgeway was on the program
for three numbers, but the audience
was insistent for her return and she
gave fully twelve numbers-and she
did it with a graciousness that showed
"a willing to give the people all the
enjoyment at her command. There
is no standard by which Miss Ridge
way can be judged-she is all alone on
her high pinnacle of Evolutionary
fame.
Mr.. Geo. W. Jenkins, the tenor So
loist, is an artist in the true sense of
the word. There is music in his
personality and it finds a ready flow
through a voice of sweetness and
power. Twice he appeared on the
program, the first being a classical
selection in which the marvellous
power Of his voice was brought out
and filed every nook of the opera
house, get the tone was not in the
least marred by the fullness. He
has a wide range of voice and he
sings with an ease that is a revela-
ton in a tenor. His other selec-
tions were Of a lighter vein and
were well given. Everybody enjoyed
the work Of Mr.. Jenkins and we hope
some day to hear him again.
MI. Hunt, the baritone, while he
shows fine training, did not have
the strength of voice that one looks
for in his work. Still this did not
detract from his good work of the
evening, and both efforts were
heartily encored. Miss Paradis, the
pianist, and accompanist, occupied
a difficult position, but she carried
her work out in a manner that
displayed wonderful ability on her
part. In her solos she was the
artist, and as accompanies she has
the tact and skill that makes a
musical selection more successful,
Her rendition of the "Pasquin-
ade,' by Gottschalk-Joseffy, was a
beautiful thing and it was played
in a thoroughly artistic manner.

and concert course will occur on
Thursday, Jan. Is, when DR.. D. f.
Fox will lecture on Glow I Made a
