Edward VII. Bears
an Unlucky Name.


The present king of England is the
seventh bearer of name which has
proved somewhat unfortunate to the
six Edwards who preceded him.
Little good luck has come to any
of the royal Edwards, and supersti-
tiOus persons may believe that any
good fortune accruing to Edward
VII, will be due to the lucky num-
Der which follows his name.
Edward |. spent most of his days
rolling up trouble for himself and in
curing general hatred by his bitter
warfare against Scotland.
Edward H., profiigate and weak
ling was murdered in prison.
Edward III, lived to see his only
sOn-the Black Prince, whom he
idolized-die; and himself died
knowing he was to be succeeded by
a vacillating, delicate grandson, who
might upset the grand dynasty the
Black Prince and his father had
built up.
Edward w., after usurping Eng
lands throne and causing the death
of Henry VI, lived but a short time
in a court rent with -dissensiOns !;
then, while still young, died of dis
ease. Edward V. was murdered in
the tower of London by order of his
fathers brother, the duke of Glou-
cester, afterward Richard III.
Edward VI. died while still mere
boy. Edward VII. has been COM
PEELED to wait until he was over 80
before ascending the throne.
One other name only among Eng
lands kings has proved so disastrous
the name of Richard.
All three of England's King Rich
ards died violent deaths; the first
and third in battle, and the second
by assasSination-New York World.

HIccouGHED FOR THREE YEARS

hlCCOuGH ED FOR lHREE EARS
The New York Herald says: Hic-
coughs of three years standing Were
cured recently at Belleview hospital
with a bit of string.
Miss Sarah BlOckson, a young Rus
sian girl OF No. 79 Reade street, went
to the hospital, complaining that for
the past three twelve months she
had been suffering from hiccOughs.
She said she had at last begun to
grow tired of the nalady. The ply
sicians examined her and gave It as
their opinion that her affection was
largely nervous. She had the symp-
toms of neurasthena, The physic-
ians tied about her waist a cord So
tight that the spasmodic movements
of the diaphragm We're controlled.
She was unable to hiccough any
more. After ten minutes the cord
was removed and the young woman
was told She was cured.
The manner of the physicians was
either so convincing or the cure was
so radical that from that moment she
ceased to be disturbed.

1890 p. m.-DeacOn Jones weaker.

rally.
2:l5 p. m. Deacon Jones family has
been summoned.
3:lO p. m.-Deacon Jones has died
and gone to heaven.
Later in theafternOOn travelling
salesman happened by, stopped to
read the bulletin, and, going to the
bulletin board, made another report
concerning the deceased. 1t was:
4:lO p. m.-Great excitement in heav-
en-. Deacon Jones has not yet
arrived.

CURRENCY DISAPPEARS IN PORTO
Rico

RICO
About three tons of silver coin of
the United States has been shipped
from New York for Porto Rico, in
payment of bonds just purchased by
a banking house with branches in
that island.
Heretofore, when bills and bank
notes were shipped to the island they
disappeared very rapidly. For some
time the disappearance of paper mon
ey was a mystery. Finally it was
discovered that the people of POr-
10 Rico We're just beginning to
find it handy to send paper currency
through the mails, especially when
it was desired to send small amounts
out of the island. In this way the
currency supply was being depleted
constantly, and the bankers deter
mined to try silver coin, with the
belief that it will take a good deal
in postage to send it all out of the
country in letters, and may discour-
age the practice.
