reigning house was turned toward the queen regent. "The king to Madrid,
 the Austrian woman to the Escurial or
 the devil!" was the cry during the bread riots which preceded the Span
 ish-American war. The king and his
 mother were driving in the same car riage one day when a man shouted,
 amid the 'Vivas" of the crowd: If you
 are going to the Escurial leave the king
 in Madrid, and when you get to the
 Escurial keep on going!" Maria Cris-
 tina put her arm around her son and | bowed with a smile. That action epito-
 mixes her life. For 16 years her arm
 has shielded her boy and a smile has
 been the answer to insult. When a
 proposal was made to increase her al- loWance beyond that usually granted to
 doWager queens an opposition Seville paper favored it because she was en- | coureageous and she had loved much
 Just before one of the periodical riots | in Madrid the queen quietly had tele-
 graph wire strung from the city to the | Escurlal. She then retired to the Escurial with considerably ostentation.
 A general in the regular army who was to be leader of a coup d'etat left the barracks with the troops under bis command about the time he thought the
 queen was well settled in the Escurial. An acquaintance with one hand waving welcome and the other on a telegraph instrument called to know what the general was doing with so many troops

 It is said that Alfonso is threatened with gout and his physicians believe the malady will develop as he grows older. Tn small closet with one nov able side looking out upon the altar of the Escurial church is a marrow cot and a three-legged camp stool. Philip II, with most of the known world of ihs day at his command, used to lie in this cell and place his aching foot upon the stool and pray to be relieved of the gout and incidentally of his sins. Antonio Perez, his secretary, relates with de- licious naivete that his master used no bad language In his cell before the altar because it was under the roof of the church, but was not prevented from in- dulging in an explosion of profanity when he had passed the boundary line and entered his aprtments. Upon feel ing the approach of death, Philip had himself carried through the rooms con- taining his collections of paintings and objects of art and made the tour of the sacred pictures in the church.

 not political or party question. Colo mel Ullman seconded this, and the mo- | tion was carried
 ] John H. Fowler, assistant clerk of the superior court was the next speaker,
 and said that he conCurred in the views expressed by Mir. Harrison and MT. Ar- vine. He said that when he read the articles in some of the papers he was unable to see why the people of New Haven should object to the New Consti- tuition. Other towns-Danbury, New Britain and others-had not done much for New Haven when New Haven was seeking legislation for her benefit. Why, then, should New Haven throw away nine seats in the legislature out of sympathy for thfose towns? What was the use of New Haven committing practical suicide on question of this kind?
 Colonel Ullman then spoke briefly. He said: We in New Haven are part of the people on election day, and we count then even if we don't count much in the constitutional convention. don't thlnk that We ought to feel, as some say, that we must take this proposed constitution or get nothing. Connecti- cut has been very close in presidential elections, and the vote of New Haven might swing the state. That being the case, don't believe the leaders are go- ing to hold the pistol a our head"
 Frederick A. Betts, ex-insurance com- missioner, thought that the new consti- tuition ought to be adopted, and that then the reformers ought to stay to- gether and work for something in the future" He didn't see why reform must stop if the new constitution was adopted.
 William Gay opposed accepting the new plan, and E. A. Leopold favored it.
 George B. Martin was asked to speak and said that he didn't know much about the question, but that he expect ed to study it up before the time to vote on it came, so that he could vote intelligently. The meeting had done some good, he thought, in getting peo- pie to think about the question.
 The meeting adjourned shortly before 10 o'clock.

CURIOUS EFFECTS OF EARTH
 OUAKES,

| During the shock which occurred in | the canton of Valais (SwitzerlanD in l 1855, the owls, which are, as a rule, | the most timid and suspicious of birds, gathered upon the trees nearest to the houses, while other birds. such as swallows, took their flight toward other lands. It has been noticed in the West Indies and elsewhere that during an earthquake, domestic animals, such as the OK and the horse, will get close
 to each other and tremble all over.

KITCHENER PROMOTED.
Grant of 15o,O0O Criticised ns Ton
 Small.

London, June 4-Lord Kitchener has been promoted to be a general. The fact that the Kitchener grant is only R50,000 has already created con- siderable discussion in the pariamen- tary Hobbies, and some regret has been
 expressed that it was not equal to the
 award made to Lord Roberts, e100.000, It is known, however, that during the continuance of the war the question of granting Lord Kitchener f100000 was seriously discussed by the authorities, but the small amount was decided upon on the ground of Lord Kitchener's less CT rank, coupled with the fact that he received G30,000 at the close of the Soudan campaign and is, still a com paratively young, unmarried man and at height of his military career, while Lord Roberts is old, has a family and is not likely to have a further chance to distinguish himself.
 Although it is recognized that the rapid advancement made by Lord Kitchener has not been paralleled since the times of Nelson and Welling ton, and that in the course of his life Lord Kitchener is likely to attain to the greatest possible distinction the sover- eign can confer almost all the morning newspapers in London comment upon the grant Of 900 ($250, ,00D to Lord Kitchener as unnecessarily niggardly.
 The report that Lord Kitchener will come home for the coronation of King Edward is incorrect. He still has much to do in South Africa and it is not likely that he will leave there before the mid dle of July, The South African com mands will then be divided. General Lyttleton taking charge of the Trans vaal and the Orange River colony and General Ian Hamilton relieving Gen eral French in the command of the forces in Cape Colony,
 In spite of the opinion expressed by Sir Michael Hicks Beach in the House of commons last night there is a gen. eral idea that it would be dangerous to leave too small Garrisons in the new for some time to come.

 My hearty congratulations on the brilliant achievement which brought the war to so satisfactory conclu- sion.''
 Reports received from Cape Colony are very satisfactory. Numerous sur renders, including that of Commandant Fouche, have already been received.

two whole days. They went from room to room, with lighted torches to see their way, cooked their food and dis- cussed with one another the chances of their being rescued.
 Among the most curious effects of earthquakes must be reckoned the deep wells, which open instantaneously and which are found to be full of water or sand to their mouth the latter being, as rule, round and convex, and nearly al- ways surrounded with a. layer of slime. The most celebrated of these basins, in respect to number, dimensions and symmetry are those at Rosarno, in Ca- labria which had their origin in the two earthquakes of 7S3. Immediately after the shock most of these wells had the shape of funnel inside, and looked like small ponds, some filled with water and others with sand, which came right up to the surface. This fact might pos- sibly be explained by the large quantity of earthly substances forced up to the surface, which, accumulating, produced an obstacle which the water, raised from the depths of the globe, could not surmount.-Leslies Weekly.

EITHER WAY HURTS.
A Cross Fire On Coffee Users.

The breaking away from coffee is ar exceedingly serious problem to many people, especially when headaches fol- low leaving off the drug, and dyspepsia and bowel trouble grows more and more serious if the coffee is continued Sc there you are between two fires.
 A comparatively easy way out was taken by a lady from Franklin, Pa, who says, "We had a curious expert ence with coffee Husband had been for many years sufferer from dyspep- sia. with heart burn, headaches and general nervous trouble. We tried a great many physicians and a great many remedies but none of them did him any lasting good
 We concluded there must be some thing about his employment that thus affected him One day a man told him that probably coffee was the cause of his trouble and advised him to use Postum. The first time I made it I studied directions and made it good Well that day was a day long to be remembered.
 We liked the Postum but we had a hundred headaches compressed into one. You see the trouble was we had both used coffee so long that our nerves were in a state of collapse without the usual stimulant Until then I did not dream I was such slave to coffee but we had to do something to quit, so the next morning l used Postum with part coffee and we missed the headaches, then I used less coffee every morning for about two weeks, and then Postum alone for nearly a year now, and just wish you could see the change in my husband. He has better health than he ever had before. never has the head ache, can eat anything he wants does not have heartburn or any stomach trouble, and he cannot be induced to drink coffee under any circumstances.
 When anybody mentions dyspepsia in his presence he tells them what cured him.
 I was almost as bad as he but am now entirely well, and have gone up from 9S pounds to los pounds and am so thankful for the blessing of good health.
 If my name will do any good, use it, for we stand by Postum always" Mrs. W. A. Bowers, 29-9th Street, Frank lin, Pa.
