actually proceeded in or were party to
the murder of King Alexander and

tanned the appointment, but shortly
after the publication all copies of the

Turkish gems darmes, but Of all the
military and civil officials in any way
responsible for the crime.
The assassination of the Russian

his name because, in defiance of In.

fired several shots, MORALLY wounding
the consul in the head and hip. The
horse drawing the carriage in which
the consul was riding received two
bullets and shots were also fired at

POPE Plus X CROWNED.
Thousands Were Present TO witness
the Magnificent Rite.

The ceremony Of the coronation of
Plus x took place Sunday in the basi.
lioa Of st. Peters In the presence Of
the princes, and with all the solemnity
and splendor associated with this, the
most magnificent rite in the Roman
Catholic church.
As Cardinal Macchi, the dean of tho
cardinal deacons, placed the triple
crown on the head Of the venerable
pontiff, the throng Of seventy thou
sand persons gathered within the
cathedral burst into unrestrained 40
CARNATIONS, the choir ihtoned a hymn
Of triumph, and the bells Of Rome
rang out joyous peal.
It IL fifty-seven years since the Ro-
mans and Europe assisted at such
function as was held in st. Peters to-
day. The great basilica, popularity
supposed never to have been quite full,
was overlooking with humanity. Tho
Papal throne, owing to q bewildering
mixture Of gold, red and silver, was
erected in front of the high altar. As,
contrary to custom on these ceremo-
NOUS occasions there we're no CALLER
les, the basilica bore more Of its nor
NAL aspect. On the altar, which was
dressed in white, stood the famous sill
ver-gold candlesticks and a magnih-
cent crucifix. All the available stand
ing space within the cathedral was d.
vided into sections by wooden bar
riers, which to a certain extent kept
the vast crowd In order.

Number OF South Sea Islando APP
pear Doomed to Destruction.
It would seem that the ninety ISL
ands known variously as the Low
archipelago or Tuamotu group, are
destined to be reclaimed by the Pa
cific ocean.
Last January they were swept by .
flood composed of high waves from
the ocean and the lesser ones from the
enclosed lagOons, and in consequence
nearly 600 of the inhabitants were
drowned and property to the value Of
100000 was destroyed. And now, six
months later, fierce gales from the
southwest and southeast have again
caused great surging crests to sweep
over some of the islands. So far only
four persons are believed to have
perished but the fear is great that
when all the islands are heard from
there may be distressing list of IA
talities.
The steamer Excelsior suffered
much damage during the series OF
gales, while she was on her trip from
Tahiti to the Marquesas group.
Three of the Tuamotu islands were
under water to such an extent that
the inhabitants had to climb cocoanut
trees for safety. Houses and stores,
copra and finally the cocoanut trees
were destroyed, while the inhabitants
had q close call to death. II is
thought most of the islands OF the
group were visited by the storm.

Habit of Exaggeration

Exaggeration is one of the most seri-
GUS evils of the day. 1t is common in
all the walks of life, people not being
willing to see what is actually before
their eyes, but permitting their magma
tons to enlarge and extend their view
frequently to the limit of the mental
horizon. Few will deny its deleterious
effect. Rumors on each side of the
ocean for which there is no reasonable
basis throw the country into a state of
unhealthy anxiety and do positive
harm at times of serious character.
Very recent events have strikingly il
Illustrated this. 1t is the vogue, or 1t is
a temporary evil which has seized upon
the public, and there does not appear
to be any remedy except to let it run
it's course like any other epidemic and
pass away.-Baltimore American.

WORKIAGMEN'S CLUB
Pretentious Building Being Erected
in New York City.
The Finest Structure of It's Kind in
This Country - All the Com.
forts of q Rich Mans
Clubhouse.

The construction of a 5000. 900 club
house for workingmen in New York
points to the trend of the times. 1t
is no longer to be all work and no
play for the poor, or at least the
working classes.
Labor unions in various parts of the
country are building structures in
which to locate their Offices, and in
some of the smaller cities they have
ly inexpensive clubhouses, but none
will equal in point of magnificence of
structure or furnishing the one now
being built in New York city. In many
ways it will rival the clubs of the
rich, and will contain much the same
accommodations.
The plans for this structure call for
building five stories high, every
floor of which will be devoted to the
pleasure, comfort, physical and intel
lectual improvement of the working
classes comprised in the clubs mem.
bership.
The Workingmen's Educational and
Home association are the builders.
1t was organized in 1896 and now has
membership of 1,400. The old home
of the association of East Eighty
sixth street long ago became too small
to accommodate the large and growing
membership, and it was proposed to
build new structure. To secure the
means entertainments were given
small assessments made upon the
members from time to time, until suf-
ficient funds were in the treasury to
buy the ground for the new structure
lot 100 by 102 feet in East Eighty
fourth street Now that the ground is
paid for the club feels able to go ahead
with the building, and it will be
pushed to early completion.
A portion of the first floor of the
new building will be devoted to a
model gymnasium. This will be &C
feet long, 40 feet wide and "a feet
high. 1t will be equipped with all
sorts of approved gymnastic appli-
ances, and around it will be running
track. The membership of the club
sre enthusiastic over the gymnasium
feature.
Another feature of the building
which promises to be popular is the
class rooms, lecture room and library
