The government having UNDER
taken the task of administering the
country, considered its first duty was
to maintain peace, law and order and
convoke parliament to elect a king.
In order that the election should oc-
cur in accordance with the constitu-
ton, the government has put in force
the constitution of April 6, 1901, with
the addition of the laws existing be-
fore the coup d'etat March "a last.
I'm opening parliament the govern
ment recalls to the peoples represen-
tatives their first duty to the father
land, namely, to elect Il king and n
constitution.
THE government hopes the coun-
try will achieve happiness and pros
perity."
The members then proceeded to
church, returning little later to the
palace. The ceremony of electing
the king was conducted in the Sale
Des Fetes, which had been specially
arranged for the occasion. The met
ropolitan of Belgrade and the bishop
of Nish in their full robes of office
lent the sanction of their presence.
ernment and the presidents of the
chamber and senate sat at the head
of the white and gold decorated hall,
while below them were grouped the
members of the senate and the
skupshtina.
The formal motion that Prince
Karageorgevitch be elected king of
servia was moved by a radical deputy
named Neschics, who was attired in
the national costume. Immediately
about arose from the assembly of
Long live Karageorgevitch." Each
member was then called by name and
rose quietly from his seat and gave
his vote of "Peter Karageorgevitch. i"
There was absolute unanimity, no
other name but that of Prince Kara
georgevitch being pronounced. The
result was greeted with loud cheers
ind to the minister of justice, NJ.
!jchiokovich, fastened to the balcony
overlooking the street and announced
to the people: Peter the first of
the dynasty of Karageorgevitch is
your new king"
AT o'clock last evening a tele-
gram to the government arrived from
the new king. 1t ran: "The splen-
did proofs of devotion for my be-
loved people, my faithful army and
patriotic government have deeply
touched me. From the bottom of a
true Servian heart, l thank provi-
deuce, which has vouchsafed me, by
Gods mercy and through his will to
ascend the throne of my famous an
cestors. l beg you, the premier and
your colleagues in the government to
accept my royal acknowledgment

rative points in the home, pretty ar rangement is shownin the quaint sfaap- ed basket filled simply with pink tulips. There are, however. numbers of flowers of the bulb family that are useful to take the place of tulips for this pur- pose. A pale green ribbon is gracefully tied to the basket. These and similar baskets of flowers make extremely ac- ceptable presents.
 A novel and altogether charming style of decoration, originally planned for dinner party in a private house, utilizes the favorite Easter colors, green and white, and could hardly be improved upon for this occasion. All down the center of the table silvered white tulle is placed over scrolls of pale green ribbon, and upon the tulle are scattered single heads of yiolets and tiny fronds of fern. On the outer edge are sprays of the same flower, and out side these two stoles of smilax are placed, the ends of which hang down at either end of the table.
 A pretty novelty for this season, which has come from abroads is al fruit bouquet" is to say, a bouquet lightly made of branches of the minia- ture orange tree with the fruit on them. The same design may, of course, be carried out in the tiny pomegranates which can occasionally be bought and also in branches of plum or damson with the little blue plums on, them. Asparagus fern, or choice foliage, is judiciously introduced into these bou- quets

AN INTERRUPTED MESSAGE.
CoMversation Over the Wire Was In- teresting, Bus Was Suddenly
 Broken On.

 One afternon recently two young telephone pay station is located. A solitary clerk, who was in the rear mixing 8 new headache cure, came forward. With a swish of silk petit coats, one of the young women walked up to him and asked if she might telephone to Cleveland. He gave his consent, and went back to his medica- tion. The young woman called cen tral, and said she wished to speak with MT. Charles Upton, of Cleveland, relates the Detroit Free Press.
 t'It costs 90 cents to telephone there just for three minutes, T she said to her companion while waiting for an answer. But can say all want to in that time, and, cost or no cost, I've simply got to ask Charlie to-day if he'll come to the valentine party I don't dare to risk letter for fear that spiteful little Miss Simpson will get in ahead of me. heard she was planning to write and invite him. Before I ask him, though, I'm going to have little fun. People say I'm good at disgusting my voice, especially over the telephone. I'll wager any, thing he won't know me-
 Tn few minutes the bell tinkled. MT. Upton was at the other end of the line.

 s.No.
 .sWell, can't you tell me who you think it is?.
 "Yes but you thought quite wrong '
 A similar conversation was pro- longed for some little time. The clerk, in his secluded corner, began to be quite amused. He looked at the clock. Then he went forward again.
 Pardon me, lady, he said, ssbut your bill is already $40. I thought perhaps you"
 "Oh-h!" almost shrieked the young woman as she hung up the receiver with bang. "Two-dollars- and forty-cents! Why, it doesn't seem more than minute, and never asked him what I wanted to or anything! Come on,' turning to her friend.
 And as she went pouting out of the store she was heard to say:
 "Well, don't care. He was just as mean as he could be not to know my voice at once. almost believe he didn't want to. He can stay away from the party so far as I am concerned. Miss Simpson is welcome to him."

How to Clean Plate Glass Mirrors.

HOW fO~Glean Plate Glass Mirrors.
 Do not clean plate glass mirrors with soap and water, which sooner or later dim the surface. Alcohol and water are safe, but unless the mirror is ac- tually dirty rubbing with soft cloth cleanses it perfectly. It is best not to use soap on table glass, much of which is rather soft and easily scratched For this reason avoid the many patent polishing powders and cloths adver- tised to give high polish to good glass
