king brews beer what can be wrong
in the subject drinking it? What the
king does is likely to be initiated by
others. His majesty is more than
man and must regard all questions
from a kingly point of view. If the
king goes to a Sunday concert, as he
did recently, he deals a deadly blow to
the Englishman's Sunday. The king
cannot attend a noncOnformist place
OF worship, but he can go to a Sunday
concert"
This remark called forth cries of

IF the king, who is the head of the
church and defender of the faith, can
violate the English Sunday, what can
the people do but follow in his steps? 1

not be dislOyal TO Christ. and it is bet

RULED BY CURIOSITY.
R-hy Americans Seemingly Go Crazy
over s3OyaS Visitors from Old

Foreign critics of America and Amer

the almost universal curiosity of our
democratic countrymen in the persons,
the habits, the characters and the acts
OF those who inherit the right to rule,
and Of their wives, sons, daughters,
sisters and cousins and aunts.
One cannot deny the fact. however it
may be explained, nor however con

American knows that the desire to see

The trait manifests itself in many
ways. The desire of the American girl
trsveling abroad to be present at court
and the willingness Of her father to
provide the appropriate raiment are
expressions of it. What matter if the
consciousness that she vii carry back

tune to the queen of England or Italy
does add a certain attraction to the ex-
peTienee?
But as the woman who has been pre-
sented becomes each year a more IA
miliar object, so the royal visitor bids
fair to lose his rarity value" 1t is now
reported that the king of Belgium, the
dowager queen of Italy and the crown
prince of Siam, to cite only the best
founded reports, are laying plans for
American tours.

William r. Corwine secretary of the sub
committee of five. has submitted the report of his
trip to the islands OF Martinique and ST. Vincent
to Gustav H Schwab, chairman of the executive
committee of the Associated Committees for the
Relief of the West Indian Sufferers.
Mr. Corwine sailed from this city Oh the Fonta-
belle with supplies May II. and returned tn
ohe Philadelphia. June 9. He says in part:
l express to you. my judgment. that there
sufficient supplies both islands last for
a long period of time say for least two months.
and probably much longer 1 believe, however,
that the money which have should be held
for several months yet.
Mr.. COrwine describes the approach to the CITY
of St. Pierre He says: 1T was absolutely the
most awful sight l ever saw in my life He also
describes the run from Fort de France Kings
town on the Ruby, saying: ION the way we
passed close in TO Mount SOufriere, which is the
active volcano on the north end of the island Of
St Vincent and which was discharging great
clouds of SulphUrouS smoke, while down the side
OF the crater Were flowing streams OF hot mud
The north end of the island presented about the
same appearance did the northern part OF
Martinique-it was completely devastated.
