sovcreigns, but even royal princes. were
accustomed to wear the uniform of
field marshal from their tenderest age
indeed. from their fifth year-on all of
fetal occasions. The only uniform.
however, that King Alfonso wears is
that of the cadets of the military
school of San Idafonso. Which is n
sort of Spanish counterpart of West
Point
The queen regent is anxious to
place the rcins of government in her
sons hands. For sixteen Wars she
has stcered the Spanish ship of state
through many perils, including dis
astrous war, and now feels that she
has not only done her duty toward her
boy, but has fulfilled her trust to the
Spanish people. No sovereign has ever
assumed the reins of government who
was better equipped for the task than
is Alfonso MIL, say his friends. He
has been brought up among the most
pure and healthy surroundings. where
as his father, his grandmother, Queen
Isabella, and every one of his prede-
cessors were reared in an atmosphere
of profigacy and vice.
Queen Christina. although an Aus
trian, is said to favor Spanish prin-
cess as a wife for King Alfonso. In
Bavaria lives the Bourbon prince An
tonic. He has a daughter of more than
ordinary beauty. Dark as Spaniard
of the Carlist type, she is graceful and
accomplished. Alfonso met her once
and liked her. Perhaps one day she
may become queen of Spain.
1t was hoped in Spain that this bit
of business could be arranged before
the coronation festivities in May, but
the mutterings of revolution became
too loud to permit of the royal de-
parture from the country. 1t was
planned at one time to make the coro-
nation festivities rival in splendor
those of Alfonso's brother monarch.
King Edward VII, at Westminster alb
hey Il month later, but the serious con-
dition of the country has apparently
caused a considerable change in those
plans.
In Spain, as in the Netherlands, the
coronation isn't really coronation at
all. In Holland the polite fiction is
that the reiSnlnS monarch is so lofty

Queen Christina has always shown
herself Il stickler for simplicity where
children are concerned. She decided
that the king should be educated as a
simple soldier. One incident will serve
to show how carefully all pomp has
been eliminated from his training.

M. S. Grinbaum & Co, has filed suit
in the Circuit Court against the Kapio-
lani Estate, Limited for $966.70 and in
terest from March 4, 1902, for the fol-
lowing cause: Certain persons desig-
mated as Alcoch & Co, of Melbourne,

change and directed the same to the
defendant and required the defendant
to pay to the order of the English,
Scottish and Australian Bank, Ltd, the

FOR NEW TRIAL
Ferris Will Appeal TO Supreme
Court-Dsfense Denied Right
to Prove Charges.

Judge Gear overruled the motion for
a new trial in the Ferris murder case
Saturday, denying the defendants the
right to introduce testimony or even to
read the motion and affidavits alleging
that the jurors had partaken of beer
III Judge Gears chambers. The Court
held that if there was any misconduct
on the part of the jurors as alleged by
| Reynolds and Peters, attorneys for de-
PENDANTS, it should have been called to
his attention Immediately, With a mo-
ton for the discharge of the panel.
| During the course of the argument
Judge Gear stated that he was present
in his chambers when the jurors were
alleged to have partaken of liquors,
and that their conduct at that time, as
he had witnessed it, was not sufficient
cause for granting a new trial The
jurors in their affidavits admitted
| drinking beer but denied that they We're
under the influence of liquor. The ar
gument lasted until afternoon and Gear
| Immediately denied the motion for
new trial.
During the course of the argument
Judge Gear undertook to censure Rey-
nolds for not calling the jury's conduct
to the attention of the court the next
morning. Mr.. Reynolds replied that as
the judge was present he was no doubt
aware of the doings of the jury, and
the court should have taken judicial
notice of it.
Exceptions were taken to the ruling
OF the court denying the motion for a
new trial, Judge Gear granting thirty
days within which to file the bill of ex-
ceptions. An appeal to the Supreme
Court will be taken the attorneys for

they would be compelled to pay for the
transcript out of their own pockets.

TWO FLAGS FLOAT OVER IT.
Post Office That Stands on the Border
Line Between Two Countries.

From the New York Herald
The most curious post office in America
is the one which stands in Beebe Plain, a
town half in Vermont and half in the prov
ince of Quebec, Canada. The old post office
was built about seventy-fve years ago ex-
actly on the line between the United States
and Canada, so that it stands in two coun-
tries and serves in the postal service of
two nations The cellar of the building
connects the two countries and some years
ago, when the post office was a general
store, whisky was known to be sold in one
country and delivered in another without
ever having gone out from under the roof
of the old structure.
This combination post office is now being
run by parent and child the father being
postmaster for Canadian Quebec and the
daughter postmstress for Vermont Stand
ing in front of this strange post office is a
large post which marks the boundary line,
and 1t is said that one time a man who
wanted to get roadway to his premises
moved this post, and many thousands of
dollars and no little time were spent to
establish the exact line again. Until short
time ago very peculiar post office was
used in Argyllshire, England. 1t was sit
uated in the lonely hills between Drimmin
and Barr, three miles from any habitation
and consisted Of simple slit in rock
closed up by a nicely fitting stone.
When any letters arrived at Drimmin for
the district of Barr they were conveyed to
the rock by the first shepherd or crofter
going so far. Having been dropped in and
the slit reclosed, they were left until a
shepherd or crofter from the other side
happened to come along. when they were
taken up and delivered at their destination
No letter was ever known to be lost at this
primitive post office. At Burra, Shetland
an old tin canister, made water-tight with
newspapers and pitch, was once picked up
on the shore. 1t contained ten letters
with the correct cash postage. With these
was also letter for the finder. urgently
requesting the posting Of the accompanying
m1ss4Ves. as they were important business
communications. After the letters had been
carefully dried they were at once posted
to their destinations. which they reached
without further adventure.

ROCK BASS NOT HYBRIDS.
Reasons for Rejecting a Theory Re
Gently Advanced About Them.
From the lew York Sun

From the lew York Sun
The theory recently advanced that the
rock bass is the result of cross between
the black bass and the sun fish seems to be
disproved by the rock bass that abound in
Lake keuka, in western New York.
When the first white people settled on the
shores OF that lake, more than a century
ago, they found the rock bass abundant in
its waters. The black bass is an alien resi-
dent of the lake, having been placed there
within recent years.
The rock bass is one of the gamest fishes
for its size that swim, and, with it's big,
staring red eyes, it's enormous head and
capacious mouth, is one of the most fero-
cious looking. While in Lake Kenka,
where it seldom attains greater weight
than half a pound, il is regarded az a pest
by black bass fishermen, because of It's per-
sistence in stealing bait. Its excellent quail
tiles as food fish commend 1t 10 the people
of other localities, notably in Pennsylvania,
where the state is rearing it extensively at
the hatcheries and introducing it to the
rivers and small lakes.
In the Pennsylvania waters, where it has
begun to assert itself this season, this
gamy little bass is welcomed by anglers as
provider of"nost enjoyabl sport with the
rod. The rock bass takes the fly readily
and makes a pretty fight on light trout
tackle.

WHY PYRAMIDS WERE BUILT
Great Piles Erected for Advertisement
Of the Pharaobs

e. Walter Marnder in knowledge.
The interest Of the Delhi and Benares OBJ
serVator!es lies for US in the fact that they
recall a time far in the past when astrono-
mers sought for exactness by the erection
OF huge structures of stone. OF these the
great pyramid is by far the greatest and
most perfect example. Britain has its own
-StOnehenge-which has been
claimed as, if not indeed an astronomical
observatory, at least an astronomical
temple, and many attempts have been made
TO determine the date al which il was erect
ed. The difficulty, not to say the in1possi-
bility, of solving this problem in the present
state of the monument may be inferred from
the fact that the dates which different care
full observers have deduced for its erection
extend over a period of more than 1900
years.
The real work of astronomy was never
done in ediffces like these. Nor, indeed does
1t require much knowledge of human ma
ture, essentially the same 5000 years ago
as today, to see that the true secret of the
pyramid, the amply sufficient cause for it's
building, was the vanity of the ruling Phar-
aoh. Alike at Delhi. at Ghzeh, and on Sal
isbury Plain, as by the Euphrates, to make
a name was the exciting motive. AStrono-
merS may have been employed to Superin-
tend the work, astronomy, or the cult of
the celestial bodies, may have been the ex-
cuse, but the real object was advertise
ment.

HOLLOW BUILDING BLOCKS.
a Saving of one-Third the Material

From the New York Evening Post
A house of artificial stone books. two-
thirds of which are material and the rest
hollow, will soon be built in New Orleans
The mold in which the blocks are built Is q

ton provided with three rectangular col-
umns that may be elevated, whose dimen-
sions are those of the cavities in the blocks.
to. the foundation Of the mold are hinged

the ends and sides of the mold are in DO
:sition 1t is merely a box; a plate is LET

the columns at the bottom of the mold are
elevated through openings I'm the plate
The mold is then in readiness to receive

which is shoveled into the mold. filling the
entire space surrounding the elevated COL
umnS. 1t is tamped with great force
After the tamDing process the sides and
ends OF the mold are let down. the col
umns are depressed and the plate on which
the materials were poured is lifted out
with the manufactured block resting upon
IT. The blocks are put ont i'm the air and
in the course of week they are ready to
be used for building. They should not be
subjected to too great heat from the sun.
and II is necessary to moisten them each
day. The great simplicity of the process
lies in the fact that sand is absolutely in
compressible, and tamping secures as COM
plete results Is are obtained from the press
ing OF clay in the making of finer qualities
OF bricks, and with very much smaller ex-
penditure of labor. The sand and cement
are moistened while being mixed.
