EDWARD vrs GIFT TO NATION
Presented Osborne House to England
as Coronation Memorial.


as Coronation Memorial.
London, Aug. king Edward has
signalized his coronation in a men,
orable manner by the munifcent gift
to the nation of Osborne House, one
of the favorite residences Of the late
Queen Victoria.
The gift is made in the following
message to his people, addressed to
Prime Minister Balfour. For reasons
apparent in the document itself, his
majesty makes his intention public:
buckingham Palace, Coronation
Day, 1902-Under the will of the
kings much lamented mother, the Os-
borne House estate is, as Mr.. Balfour
is aware, the private estate of the
sovereign Having to spend a con-
siderable part of the year in the CAPT
tai of this kingdom and in its neigh
borhood, at Windsor, and having also
strong home ties in the county of
Norfolk, which have existed now for
nearly 40 years, the king feels he will
be unable to make adequate use of
Osborne House as a royal residence,
and he, accordingly, has determined
to offer the property in the Isle of
Wight as a gift to the nation. AS
Osborne House is sacred to the men,
ory of the late queen, it is the kings
wish that, with the exception Of those
apartments which were in the per
| sonal occupation of her majesty, his
people shall always have access to
the house, which must ever be asso-
ciated with her beloved name. AS re
CARDS the rest of the building the
king hopes it may be devoted to ma
tional purposes and be converted in
to a convalescent home for officers
of the navy and army whose health
has been impaired in rendering ser
vice to their country.
''If, in order to give full legal Of
feet to the kings wishes, it is fount
that application to parliament b,
necessary, the king trusts that Mr.
Balfour will see that the necessar.
steps are in due course taken"

Professor Collins, Pennsylvania sci
entifc agriculturist, some time ago was
recommending to a Berks county farm
er a powerfully fertilizing manure in
which he was interested. After some
discussion the sagacious farmer de-
clared that he had no faith in the
manure as the proposed quantity was
too small to be Of any use.
MY dear sir" said the professor,
"such are the wonderful discoveries in
science that l should not be surprised
If in the near future we carry the
manure for acres of land to the field in
the pocket of our coat"
"That may be SC" replied the farm
er, but in that case Pm inclined to
think you would carry back the crop
in the pocket of your vest"

Most men who work for a salary
cherish the belief that they are not
getting enough pay to fit either their
needs or their deserts. They delight in
whispering contidentially over their
cigars and whisky that their employ
ers are becoming rich while the real
brains Of the business, the real money
making power in the house, is none
other than their humble selves, poor
slaves that they are, tOiling for others
gain. As the pile of cigar ashes grows
and the contents of the bottle lessen
these oppressed beings become pathet-
ic in their complainings. They tell of
their employers riding about in swift,
luxurious automobiles while the un.
known underlings-to wit, themselves
struggle along on a pittance, lodging
bill collectors, pinched by poverty, un-
honored and unsung. IF we only had
500 or $50 more each month";" they
say, Eve could be comfortable"
Any one of these disconnected gentry
can add from 20 to 80 per cent to his
salary without asking his employers
leave. All he need do is cut off his
whisky and cigars and cease feeding
his other vices, if he has any. But
none of these gentry ever thinks OF
I taking such means to increase his IN

Were Burned to Death.
New York. Aug. 20.-Something ex-
ploded in a furniture store on the
ground floor of a double tenement at 50
Essex street yesterday, and before the
tenants could recover from the surprise
the building was a mass of flames. The
fire obtained a frightful Roadway,
which the firemen had to fight while the
work of rescue was going on, and be-
fore the flames were under control two
women and three children had been
burned to death, and a man and a
woman carried to the Gouverneur Hos
pital suffering painful injuries. Many
others were badly burned. In addition
to the three children burned another
was reported missing.
One of the dead bodies was believed
to be that of Mrs. Hannah Balothin
and the other that of Mrs. Joseph
Knott, but both were so badly burned
that they were not recognizable. The
three dead children were believed to bt
those of Nathan Liebowitz, who re-
ported to the police that his four little
ones, Moses, julius, Louis and Sallie
respectively 3, 5, 6 and years old, wert
missing. The money loss by the fir

Beauchamp was elected treasurer in

point of law, and $4,000 are involved in
big cattle deal between men at Britt

is IN jail at Denison, suit has been be-
gun against the Western Union Tele-
graph company for sum exceeding $12,-
600 for loss occasioned by the company
sending forged telegram, and Schriver
Bros, extensive cattle dealers of Britt,
for the time being at least, are out the
$4,000. The facts are as follows:
On Feb. II E.. S. Barnes of Denison
bought four carloads of cattle at Have
lock, agreeing to pay $500 and sight
draft on the bank of Denison. was drawn
for the amount. Schriver Bros, not de-
string to taken any chances on the draft
being honored, refused to accept it until
they received word from the bank on
which it was drawn. Before delivering
the cattle they received a telegram pur-
porting to be signed by the Bank of Den
ison, saying that bank would honor
Barnes draft for $4,000, and the cattle
were then delivered. .-.~... -
Again on March II Barnes bought nine
carloads of cattle of Schriyer Bros, agree
ing to pay $4,000 and made check for
Schriver Bros. again in order to protect
themselves, refused to ship the cattle I'M

On March 10 Schriver Bros. received no.

kilograms purporting to be signed by the
Bank Of Denisont were Eforgeries; that the
same had been telephoned to the operator
at Denison by some person unknown. At
ter having thoroughly gone over the sit
uation they went to Omaha, where the cat
tie had been shipped by Barnes, and
found that the stock had been disposed
of and the proceeds then beyond reach.
Barnes has been arrested and is now
in Jail at Denison, and Schriver Bros.
have brought action against the Western
Union Telegraph company for $12,500 on
the ground that the company, by their
agent, was grossly negligent in transmit

A Union Pacific Official Dis
cusses the Pending
Rebate Suits. i

Omaha, Neb., March 24.-Oficials of the
several railroads centering here expect
blanket injunction from the interstate
commerce commission to. stop rebates on
freight. 1t is believed that the Kansas
City proceedings must logically result in
an Injunction embracing every railway
system in the country. A prominent
Union Pacific traffic official said to-day:
Railroads won't violate injunctions, no mat
ter how vieiously they were slashing rates
before the injunction was issued, and il the
order comes the railroads will obey it: 1t
will certainly serve It's purpose as long as
1t is in existence How long that will be, is
a question. s i'll
1t is certain that such an order will result
in the immediate forming Of great pool
between all the railroads TO fight it. Every
road will take it's part and it will be the
most powerful and all embracing combina-
tion ever organized. m II. g.
