vigorous constitution aided him to-
rally.
Dresden, June 21.-The ministry has
proclaimed King George, brother of
the late king, king of Saxony. Prince
George has taken the oath of allie
glance.
liking Albert belonged to the younger
line of the fine old royal family of Wet
TIN and took his name from that ancient
Albert, the first of the line, which has
lived for nearly a thousand years in the
rulers of SaXony. The older, or Ernes-
tine line is represented by, the ducal
families of Saxe-Altenburg, Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha, -Meiningen and Saxe-Wei-
mer. The deceased king was born in
1923. He was the oldest son of King
John and Queen Amalie, who was the
daughter of Macmillan l., king of Ba-
varia. He was educated for the career
of a soldier and entered the Saxon army
at the tender age of Is. He took part in
the Danish war of 1S4S fought with the
Austrians in the disastrous battle of
SadOwa in 1866 and cut considerable
figure in the Franco-German war; espe-
cially in the operations before Metz,
which led up to the surrender of Napo-
leon at Sedan. While he was still crown
prince, Albert was married, in 1858, to
Queen Garcia, the daughter of Prince
Gustavus of Vasa. He succeeded to the
throne in 1873, and made popular and
just ruler.l

CALL IS ISSUED.
United Mine Workers to Hold Nation.
al Convention at Indianapolis,
July II.

indianapolis, Ind, June 19.-An
official call for national conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers of
America was issued Wednesday af-
ternoon from the national headquar-
tiers in this city by Secretary-treas-
urer Wilson. The convention will
meet here July II to determine
whether the soft coal miners of the
country shall go on a strike to as
sist the striking anthracite miners
of Pennsylvania. The basis of the
apportionment of delegates to the
convention is one for every 100 mem
bers of the local union or fraction
over so. This will make a conven-
ton of LOCO delegates. The voting
strength OF all locals is between
1890 and 2,4Oo. Of this. the conven-
ton will have voting strength of
from 1,70O to 1,sOO. A bare majority
can order strike. AFlittle over 900
can declare a strike. The anthra-
cite regions cast TAI votes, Virginia
and Michigan, which joined in the
call for the convention, have SO, MAX
ing 799 votes from these five districts
which united to call the convention.
AS stated at headquarters, condi-
tions are not satisfactory to miners
in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and
Indian Territory, and it is believed
the delegates from these sections
will vote for strike.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 21.-Friday
was one of the quietest days around
strike headquarters since the anthra-
cite mine workers suspended opera
lions six weeks ago. Nothing devel-
oped and neither President Mitchell
nor the coal company officials had any
thing to say regarding the situation.
Reports from the entire region were to
the effect that all the mining towns
were very quiet and that the 100000

KING ALBERT IS DEAD.
Saxon Monarch Succumbs
to Cancer.

Dresden, Saxony, June 20.-After a.
successful reign of nearly three dec
AIDES, beloved by all his subjects.
King Albert of Saxony died at eight.
p. m. Thursday. All the royal rela-
tives and prominent members OF the
court were at the bedside of the
monarch during his dying moments.
He was conscious almost to the last
and Immediately before his demise
he designated his eldest brother,
Prince George, to succeed him on the:
throne. This act of the decedent was
a surprise to all, as it was commonly
believed that he would be succeeded
by his nephew, Prince Frederick, the
oldest son of Prince George. For

pany's property, but otherwise he
shall adopt the Nicaragua route, would
command the votes of majority of
the senate. The Panama route was
considered more desirable by the SEN
ate than the Nicaragua route. The
only question left open is the title to
the property, and that the president
will determine, if the house should
adopt the senate's amendment to its
bill.
Senator Morgan (Ala.) closed the
debate with an earnest appeal for the
adoption of the Nicaragua route. He
had been preceded by Senator Clark
(Mont.) in support of the Nicaragua
route, and Allison (Ia.) in support of
the Spooner proposition. Only minor
amendments, except those indicated,
were adopted, all others being voted
down.
The Spooner amendment, as amended
and adopted by the senate provides that
the president, through the law officers
of the government, shall determine If a
clear title can be obtained of the Pana-
ma company's property, rights and con-
cessions. If he shall be satisfied that
such title can be obtained, he shall pur-
chase the property, rights and conces-
sions for $40 900. If, in his opinion, a
clear title cannot be obtained he shall
proceed to construct AN sthmian canal
by the Nicaragua route. The bill further
provides that a commission of seven
shall be appointed by the president to
supervise the work and to make arrange
ments for all the details of it. 1t also
provides that gold bonds in the sum of
$50 000,0 600 bearing two per cent. interest
shall be issued to raise money with
which to construct the canal.

English in Englass&

One of the differences between the
American and English languages is
well shown in the following sentence
from an article in a London paper de-
scribing the actions of a nervous wo-
man who was starting on a railway
journey:
"Shc was in a furry of excitement
at Kings Cross, and ran hurriedly
between the van, where her luggage
vas being piled in, and the carriage
In which she had deposited her rugs
and dressing bag
The average American would never
suspect from reading this alone that
there was a railroad train involved in
the proceedings. On the contrary, he
would suppose that she was going
somewhere in a vehicle drawn by
horses, and that her trunks were to
be taken in a separate conveyance
perhaps moving van. One may
guess at what is meant by the dressing
bag, but what in the world was the
lady's object in carrying rugs with
her? Here, We understand that rugs
are articles to be spread upon floors
to take the place Of carpets. No
American lady would be likely to start
on a journey with her arms full Of
these useful and often costly ma
terials. But the English lady's rags
were not to be walked on. They were
TO put over her knees for the purpose
of keeping her legs warm. In this
country they would perhaps be called
blankets, If any one ever had occasion
to use such things while travelling on
an American railway.

CLEAN up YOUR LAND.
Request to do so by the Citizens
Northwest Suburban Association.

Whereas, In the northwest suburbs
and other sections of the District there
are numerous large tracts OF wastes and
.uncultivated land, the condition OF
which is not only vGry unsighty, but
unattracuyc to purchasers and home
seekers, and in many cases is positive
nrisance and injury to adjoining prop
erty, and
Whereas, in every case such lands
are non-productive and by neglect fail
to produce any revenue to the owner,
therefore,
Be it resolved, By the Citizens
Northwest Suburban Association in
public meeting assembled, this 9TH day
OF November, 1902. that we hereby aP-
peal to our fellow taxpayers as own
crs OF said land, to remove the bushes
and loafer trees from their property
and in the place thereof plant ornamen-
tai and valuable fruit and nut trees,
which in a few years will not only beau-
tiiy the land but will yield a handsome
revenue, and thereby greatly enhance
the value OF these present Improbable
acres.
Be it further resolved That copy Of
this resolution be printed and mailed
to the president OF each Citizens AS
sociation with the request that he pre-
sent the same to his association Tor It's
favorable action.
