In the person of King Edward VII have

dynasty, or have we not? Are we still
ruled by the house of Hanover. or by that
of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha2 According to the
new Almanach de Gotha, whose editors
ought to know, the latter is the case,

that he establishes a new race of rulers.

THE SUNDAY HERALD.

! NJ EXT SUNDAY The Herald is going
to print newspaper In which
Utah may take especial pride. This is
a fact which there is no object in con-
cealing. On the other hand, The Her
aid feels that il would not be doing its
full duty by its patrons unless it gave
them an idea of what is in store for
them. The situation may be summed
up briefly i'm the statement that all of
the very best OF the special stuff now
running in any newspaper will be
found in The Herald, land then some, -
as the youngsters say.
BY an arrangement recently entered
Into between The Herald and the Phil
adelphia North American, this paper
seizures the services of the most ex-
pensiye staff OF artists and special
writers in the United States That
means the best staff. for in no other
profession 10 salaries run so evenly
with merit Among the features from
this service which will appear next
Sunday are a wolnan's page. devoted
entirely to subjects of daily interest to
the housewife and edited by the famous
Marian Harland. one of Walt McDou-
gals wonderful stories for children and
a page of the latest fashions for wo-
men.
Ia addition. the first of series of
stories by James Whitcomb Riley viii
be published. Indiana has never pro-
duced a more brilliant writer than Mr..
Riley. His Green Fields and Running
Brooks Poems Here at Home" "A
Child World" and other volumes have
been read and admired by thousands.
Special interest attaches TO Mr.. Riley's
prose works. and The Herald violates
no confidence when it says the stories
are as charming as the poetry. All of
Mr.. Riley's stories will be published ex-
clusively in The Sunday Herald in this
territory.
No Sunday features have been more
widely read or more eagerly sought
for by newspaper publishers than Fin
ley Peter puEne's Mr. DooIey'' and
George AIDES Fables in Slang" The
Herald feels that it and it's readers are
particularly fortunate in securing both

The Florida Alligators Nearly Exter-
minated by Hunters.


Persons who visited Florida few years
ago and saw the rivers. swamps and bay
GUS literally teeming with countless thou
sands OF alligators will be surprised TO
learn that these large reptiles are fast
becoming extinct. The constant and
wholesale warfare that has been wa ged
against them has thinned them out so
completely that, unless a halt is soon
called, their total determination is only a
matter of time. While they were for
merly numerous as far north as Georgia,
they have gradually become extinct until
now they are found in great numbers
only along the coast line of the extreme
southern states. In Florida they are
practically extinct, with the exception of
Manatee, Lee. DeSoto and Dade coun-
ties. In the Everglades the species have
probably been more numerous than in any
that it has been well nigh impossible to
get to them. In this almost impregnable
swamp nature has defended them seAwel

annually, while the number from the
counties on the vest coast reaches fully
125,o00 each year. There is one firm in
New Orleans that handles over 10000
skins annually.
In addition to the wholesale slaughter of
large alligatorS for commercial purposes,
a feature of recent development is the
preparation of young ones for the sum

of these little stuffed :" gators" to tour
lists, and as many more thousands every.

Public Gardens.
lPhiladelphia Times.


1t is a very great fault of our system of
public administration that it is so slow
TO avail itself of the professional knowl-
edge. skill and taste that are everywhere
sought by private individuals and cOfpOr-
atoms. All around Philadelphia, in the
/ last few years, the revival of the art of
gardening has been most conspicuous.
Several very accomplished and distin-
guished architects have given their at
tention to this field of art with notable
results. 1t is only in the small parks and
open spaces Of the city, where the oppor-
tunity for formal gardening is most i'm
portart. that we see little or no artistic
advance
The city officials seem to have no better
idea for laying OUT one of the new
squares than to spread a fiat surface with
a geometrical pattern of concrete walks,
filling in the intersticeS with grass and a
few cheap trees. The geometrical pattern
may include a few geometrical flower
beds, but that is the limit of the public
gardeners invention 1t has neither the
charm of nature nor the formal elegance
of art.
