O KING EDWARD DIE.

Were King Edward to succumb to his
present attack of illness, his successor
would be his son, the duke of York and
prince Of Wales, under the title OF King
George v.
Only a few years ago there were three
lives between this young man and he
British crown. Three deaths had TO oc-
cur before he could ascend the throne.
we of these lives have already passed
u n the third is hanging in the bal
ance. The first Of those, who stood be-
tween him and the position OF ruler OF
England, to die was his elder brother,
the first born of the present king, Ed
ward, luke of Clarence, who were he
living would ascend the throne on the
death of his father as Edward VIII.
Next came the death of the then reign
ing monarch, Queen Victoria, grand
mother of the prince. And now the
only barrier to his becoming king of
Great Britain and Ireland and emperor
of India is the small chance his father,
the present king, has of recovering
frim his severe attack of illness.
The princess of Wales was the Prin-
c-ss Mary, of Teck, cousin of her hus-
band, who was to be the wife of her
husbands elder brother and whose mar
riage to him was prevented by his un-
timely death.
The present prince of Wales when he
reached mans estate Joined the British
navy and devoted himself to his pro-
Fa.e;on our +Aiplz;n~ for a nonnonnt
that there was a possibility for his
rising above the position of commander
in chief of the British navy. AS a ma
cal officer he has travelled the world
over, a close observer n student of
human nature, dining with kings and
drinking with sailors" In disposition
retiring and somewhat bashful, he
takes no pleasure in public functions
or official display. He has never taken
interest in governmental affairs. He
lacks his fathers characteristics which
have made the latter so popular with
that iovial class of his subjects who
AXE life easy and like to see all about
them happy and lively. He has not
the disposition or temperament to Sc
sure the popularity of his father. The
prince is said to have a will if his own,
a sort of s-tubbornness, a characteristic
showing the descent from the old Hano-
verian Georges He is an arden tory,
not to the extent of taking any interest
in politics, but only in so far as he al
lows himself to be entirel. governed
by a certain clique of tory aristocrats
whose company alone seems to give
him pleasure.
Were King Edward to die there would
not be much popular enthusiasm in the
welcome to the throne extended to the
new ruler.

George Schaub. a we'll known Ger
man citizen, Of New Lebanon, Ohio, is
a consistent reader Of the Dayton
Volkszeitung. He knows that this pa
per aims to advertise only the best
in it's columns, and when he saw Cham
berlain's Pain Balm advertised therein
for lame back, he did not hesitate in
buying a bottle of it for his wife, who
for eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pcins in her back and
could get no relief. He says: After
using the Pain Balm for a few days
my wife said to me, I eel as though
born anew" and before using the entire
contents OF the bottle the unbearable
pains had entirely vanished and she
could again take up her household
duties" He is very thankful and
hopes hat all suffering likewise will
hear of her wonderful This
valuable liniment is for sale by r. r.
Rell2my'S drug store.

committed the crimes and therefore
must be of sufficiently sound mind TO
be morally responsible.
Many OF Miss Toppan's victims were
her intimate friends. On accoun OF
her knowledge and experience in the
use of drugs she was enabled to carry
on her murderous work for a long time
before suspicion rested on her. She
was a capital nurse and her services
were in great demand by physicians OF
high standing.
Miss Toppan confess ed also to nav
ing set many buildings on fire and
committed other crimes. She has been
taken to the Taunton insane asylum
where she will be confined for the re-
mainder of her life.
The woman must be insane, but a pc
culiar form Of Insanity it is. No sane
woman could commit the crimes con-
fessed by her, and the in which
they were committed shows that kind
Of peculiar cunning many insane people
display in ~concealing crimes one by
them. Her argument against her in
sanity is another strong evidence of an
insane desire to take life.

Under the y of the agricultural de-
partment at Washington a determined
effort is to be made, it is said, to turn
hogs into the paths of cleanliness. Por-
cine habitations will be provided which
do not look like pigsties and pure food
will be served. Stockings will be chos-
en- for the experiment, and after a
year the animals will be permitted to
choose between the clean dwellings
and a conventional hog-wallow Of
black mud and garbage. OF course the
department hopes for the best. It has
a theory that hogs were clean to begin
with, but were led into bad habits by
men. In the street-car etiquette of the
day, there Is much besides violation of
the a~ntl-sp1tting ordinance to justify
this theory If the experiment at
Washington Is a success, showing the
susceptibility to refinement of the hog
actual there viii be a general revival
of hope that something may We be
done for the nog human-New York
World.
