MORE tales OF the antics Of young
King Alfonso Of Spain are being
published, and grave hints thrown
out that he is mentally unbalanced
There is nothing, however, IN these
tales to indicate that the king IS
mad, though the evidence proves
very plainly that he is hayward
and capricious boy, who is actually
bored to death by all the dull
formality of official life, and of re-
ceiving the homage of his people,
when he would a great deal rather
be hx. having jolly lark with
other boys Of his own age. Alfonso
is a king, but he is none the less a
boy, and if he were guilty Of all
the pranks attributed to him, they
would all be fOrgiveable in one OF
his wears, who is absolutely with
out any one to control him. Few
BOYS of his age, if any, are inclin-
ed to be very reverential or quiet
and dignifed, and he appears to
be no exception to the rule. His
case only goes to show the folly Of
a form OF government that puts
the sceptre in the hand OF child
because he happens to be the son Of
a former ruler The divine right
Of kings" ought to have some
amendments in these modern times

reign

"THE ashes from off life's eXtin-
yuished tapers have fallen, and the
life of existence has gone out for
ever" This poetical declaration
proclaimed the final dissolution Of
the populist organization in Mis-
sissippi last week, when the little
handful of men still adhering to
populism attemptedtto hold a state
convention. which did not material
ize. Populism is fast dying out. Yet
some of the principles which the
populists advocated are claiming the
serious attention of political econo-
mists, and may vet have an in
Auence in shaping certain policies
of the government. This is
especially true Of the idea
of government control OF tele-
graphs and railroads. While
these particular forms OF populism
may never be adopted, yet there is
no doubt that many persons
not populists believe in them. The
free silver theory OF the party was
taken up by both republicans and
democrats. While it was defeated
yet both the republican and the
democratic parties took it up, and
each elected a president upon ;
platform containing a plank ia
voring free coinage of silver witt
international agreement" The pop
ulist party is no more, it is true
pet it has baS its influence upol
the polite Ountry.

parental authority might intervene,
and so, in common with thousands of

d, Third Maryland infantry, and prov
ed himself a gallant soldier, says the
Baltimore American. He was wound
ed at Charlottesville on May 3, 1868,
and subsequently received an honora-
BILE discharge. Some time after the
war he applied for and secured pen
sion of Sc a month, and under. OF
course, his army name. The special
pension examiners found, among other
things, that no one knew of any An
drew Page at the address given, but
did know Andrew French. The "alias"
made an identification requisite under
the rules of the department, and
French was identified as Page by Colo
mel j. NJ. Ludsburg and two comrades.
Here is where story comes in.
Previous to Charlottesville Page, or
French, had given comrade named
George Wannall diary, and, as it
turned out, 1t was a lucky gift for
George. At Charlottesville Wannall
had the book in side pocket, and
stuffed In with it was towel. A
Confederate bullet struck him in the
breast and penetrated through eight
thicknesses of the towel and part way
through the diary and then stopped.
When French wanted witnesses to the
fact that he was Page in the army. he
hunted up William III. Walter, whom
he knew as a comrade, and the latter
brought with him Mr.. Wannall also,
whom French had not seen since the
war. French didn't recognize WannalI
until the latter called to mind the diary
given him and which had saved his
life. Then the meeting became affect

THE WORLDS FAIR.
Congress Takes Action for the POST
ponement of st. Louis Exposition.

Congress Takes Action for the POST
ponement Of st. Louis Exposition.
Formal action for the postponement OF
the Louisiana Purchase exposition to the
year 1904 was taken on May 2, when the
secretary OF state, John Hay, sent to the
United States Senate letter stating the
necessity for an additional year In which
to prepare the exposition.
The reasons for the postponement exist
In the fact that many foreign governments
would be unable to participate in the ex-
position In a BETTING manner IL COM
PEELED to prepare themselves for 1908. In
asmuch as the plans for the exposition
contemplate a worlds fair In the broadest
sense OF the term, 1t became evident that
without the complete participation OF
the leading governments of the world 1t
would fall far short OF the ideal which the
projectors have In mind.
The postponement OF the fair to 1904 is
provided for in an amendment to the sun
dry civil appropriations bill now pending
In the Senate offered by Senator F. M.
Crockreil, OF Missouri. The amendment
provides for the dedication OF the build
ings OF the exposition on April 80, 1903;
for opening the exposition to visitors not
later then May /, 1904, and for closing not
later than December l following. The
amendment also provides for the coinage
OF $3.50, 900 in gold dollar pieces to be used
as souvenir coins and to be a part of the
100000 appropriated by Congress for
the fair.
The postponement will not only permit
the participation OF all foreign govern
ments upon a much broader scale than
otherwise would have been possible, but
1t will assure a complete exposition in
In many other details. The plans of the
exposition management up to the time Of
action for postponement were based upon
the expectation OF holding the exposition
in 1903, but, as President Francis has said:
"while the managers were ready to
hold the exposition In that year, the ad-
ditional year will enable them to produce
a far more magnificent and complete ex-
position"
