Since the new reign began the typewriter has been introduced in the palace. and many replies, formal and otherwise. are now typed in violet ink In the late reign the private secretaries were supposed to. and actually did. write every letter with their own pens. but when Edward VII. ascended the throne modern change was quickly introduced saving large amount of time and labor.
 All sorts and conditions of people write to the King Many of the envelopes bear no stamps, as if Buckingham palace were government office. and some are boldly addressed In a pencil scrawl
 The East End postmark Is prcAom- inant feature: there are many poor peo- pie who, alas. fondly believe the King can redress their grievances and miti- gate their woes by a wave of his hand. It is no secret. however, that in several instances. after discreet inquiries have been made, suffering has been relieved in poor districts as the result of letter to the King or Queen.

What Postman's Daily Delivery at
 the Palace is Like.

I1OnQOn GApTeSS.
 Though the Kings daily movements are fully chronicled in the newspapers and the Court Circular" there are many things His Majesty does of which the public has little knowledge. State bus iness,'' upon which the King is employed every morning, covers a multitude of urg- ent matters. from the writing of an au- tograph letter to neighboring sovereign to the selection of coronation design; and there are, of course, numbers of of fcial dispatches which require the royal signature
 It is not generally known, however. that His Majesty preserves a careful super vision over the answers which are sent to the hundreds of correspondents daily writing to the King. On an average, the Kings daily letter bag contains 600 let ters and about half as many newspapers, books. circulars etc. Needless to say of body of private clerks, over whom Sir Francis Knolys, the Kings private secretary, exercises control.

 By the active work of the fire depart ment the fire was soon under control, but it is yet burning. No other build- ings were reached by the fire.
 E. C. Chaflin had only $500 insurance on his warehouse and $l00 on his small stock of goods He had recently reduced the insurance on his warehouse from $l. 900 to $500, Your correspondent has not learned whether there was any insurance on the other store or the ice cream saloon.
 The origin of the fire is not known, but there was a negro dance In the frame building at the corner of the warehouse and 1t is thought that probably some negro in smoking or by some other care less act caused the building to catch on fire.
 The warehouse and buildings attached are virtually consumed by the fire Eight or ten bales of cotton in the warehouse were burned. Most of the goods in the stores were saved in a damaged condi- tion.

 canal or the passage of laws to protect
 the President from anarchists. Is dis
 counted this week in Washington by
 public inteerst in the fresh outbreak ot
 the row between the President and the
 head of the army, General Miles. Like
 Mount Pelee in Martinique. this row re-
 fuses to keep down. The President has
 intimated more than once that he is sick
 and tired of the incident but his wishes seem to have no more effect in this mat ter than they would have on Mont Pelee. The row had passed from the public mind when Senator Beveridge dug it up with his corkscrew inquiries of Senator Culberson early in the week His in direct charge on the Senate floor that
 Miles had been furnishing the War De- partment's secret documents to the Dem ocrats reopened the whole affair again and the controversy from the beginning
 was recalled and rehashed in all its vari-
 ous phases
 It was recalled that General Miles, in his request to be sent to the Philippine Islands last winter, used the expression 'the war in the Philippines is being con- ducted with marked severity" Following that came the reprimand from the Presi- dent and then the letters that passed between Miles and Secretary Root lead ing up to the demand by tho House of | Representa- tives that the correspondence btween these two he made public. This correspondence started the movement by | the Democrats which has resulted in the complete vindication of Miles by proving that the war is being conducted not only with marked severity" but in instances, | by downright brutality and inhuman | cruelty The Senate committee investi- gating the conduct of the war has dug | out and made public, through the Demo- cratic minority. numerous instances Of | this uncivilized warfare and have fur nished documents from the War Depart ments archives.
 | There has been an uNdercurrent of in- terest to know how the DemocAats found out the eXistance of the documents and | reports. It is known now. thanks to l Senator Culbcrson, that the War Depart
 ment was deliberately suppressing these | reports. War Department officials have | been particularly worried to know who was armng the Democrats with informa- | ton. They set watches on the archives l to catch the culprt. but without success.
 The Democrats kept unearthing the army
 scandals in spite of the efforts to keep them secret
 It is interesting to recall that the Presi- dent determined to retire Miles just about l the time the army scandals were break- | ing out in the Senate committee. It Is | said he authorized a statement that he lieutenant general would have to go. Fol flowing this a delega ton of Senators. pre-

oERMANY's NATIONAL AIR.
A Great Many Eroneously Think It
 Is "Die Yacht Am Rhein."

It is remarkable how very few people fin this country, even musicians, know the national song of Germany. There Is a popular impression that 1t IS Die Yacht am Rhein' S,irh Is not the case, however says The Washington Star. as was learned one day by Professor Mac
 Leod, leader of the band of the District National Guard, who applied to the Ger man Embassy for information on that point. He thought 1t was the Watch on the Rhine," but wasn't sure. The National Guard was to take part in the ceremonies attending the welcome to Prince Henry of Prussia, and it was in- tended that his Royal Highness should hear the National song of the fatherland on that occasion.
 In response to his inquiry the band leader was informed bysa a representative of the German Ambassador that the na- tional song ofssthes r9ermanS Empire Is Hell dir i'm Siegerkranz. theanausic of which is precisely .hs & game as that of of Great Britain, and HAmerica. or My Country. Iris of Thee..H one of the pa triotic songs of the United States.
 The same information is contained in tions," a volume compiled by John Philip Sousa when bandmaster of, the United States Marine Band, which, com pilation is accepted as the official guide of the Navy Department and is followed in all naval functions. In addition to the cases already mentioned, it% further ap- pears fom Professor soasa's compilation that the well known music of God Save the Queen Is also the national air of Switzerland under the name of "Rufst du mein Vaterland" and the national song of Bavaria under the title ''Heil, unserm Konig. TeiE'
 Professor Sousa denominates The Star Spangied Banner" Hail Columbia" and My Country Iris of Thee" as patriotic Songs of the United States. and does not attempt to name the national song of the country. He shows, however, that the practice of the navy is to play "The Star Spangied Banner" at morning col ors and Hail Columbia" at evening col 'ors on all ships in commission and at naval stations where there are service bands.

She began triie ahead of the season. the hatIess girl. but there she was. all right. at the corner of Fremont Street and Temple Place. a dinky white satin bow and an ornamented comb in place of the accustomed feminine headgear. The busy crowd in passing gave her a searching glance. Was this specimen the real article or some shop maiden who had run to the sidewalk for breath of fresh air? No. for there were gloves on her hands and a Boston bag stuffed with parcels hanging on her arm. She was a suburban shopper in town without her hat. Maybe some rude wind had snatched it off eu route and she was seeking to supply the deficiency. though it is feared she possessed covering enough. and the bare head was premeditated bad form
