QUEEN DRAGA'S REVENGE.
Compelled n Minister'S Wife TO Kiss
the Royal Hand.


From the London Telegraph.
The ways of courtiers are not ways
of pleasantness, nor are the paths
round throne paths of peace. Even
court ladies have a hard time when
ever inclination clashes with duty, as
painfully discovering ever since King
Alexander took unto himself wife.
At first, indeed, even the ladies of the
diplomatic corps resolved that they
would not hold any communications
with Queen Draga, whose upbringing
they held had, in certain essential re-
spects, been sadly neglected. But the
example of the Car of Russia, whose
congratulations were warm and pub
lie, swept away their scruples and the
royal lady was duly received" STILL
some of the queens own countrywom-
en-, declaring that they were made Of
sterner stuff, held out and showed the
royal lady that their memories were as
tenacious as their will. One of these
is the wife of a former minister of
state, and being also the president of
a Belgrade committee, she had to ap-
Queen Draga a few days ago.
When admitted, together with sew
eral other ladies. to an audience. she
feigned utter ignorance of the ways of
court, and thus managed to escape
kissing the sovereign's taper fingers.
Next day she bruited the fact abroad,
boasting that she would never, never
touch with her lips the hands of that
- (the epithet is Servian and I'M
complimentary. A lady present in
formed her husband, who at once COM
municated the matter to the king, for
in Servia, as in most capitals, spicy
gossip spreads like wildfire.
Two days later a royal carriage,
empty, drove up to the door of the lady
who was so chary of her lips. The
servant brought and delivered a writ
ten order from the queen calling on
the recalcitrant fair one to appear at
once at the palace. This summons
could not well be disobeyed, and, after
all, it was an honor which obliged her
to nothing. So she took her place In
the gorgeous vehicle and alighted at
the portals of the konak. Here she
was about to wend her way to the roy
al reception room, when she was sud-
denly confronted on the threshold by
the queen herself, who, without utter
ing a word, stretched forth her hand
to be kissed. The lady, having no
choice, kissed the monarch's soft digits
whereupon Queen Draga, her eyes
flaming, stamped angrily and exclaim-
ed, And now begonel" The humi1-
lated visitor took herself away, and,
finding no royal carriage awaiting her.

A Remarkable Record.

Beaufort, S. c., June 1.-The steam
ship Silverdale, which is Unloading
KANT at the Virginia Carolina Com
pany's plant at this place, has a cap
tain who is the partial possessor Of
a remarkable record. He is Capt.
Balls, an Englishman. His family,
from one generation to another, their
combined services amounting to over
9OO years, have been followers of the
sea- and during all of this service, only
one one accident has befallen any of them.

land was intensified by his visit to
Loeb Katrine, which he said Scott had
described so wildly that when it burst
on his view he could hear Fitz James

was altogether like himself before the
storms of war and defeat had beat so
1ercely upon him. I saw but little of

washington, June 1.-The weekly
IRON bulletin of the Weather Bureau
says:
The state of the Lower Missouri val
Low and portions of the Mississippi val
lev have suffered much from heavy
,ains especially Iowa, the eastern por-
tions of Kansas and Nebraska, and
western Missouri. Drought continues
in New England the northern portion
If the Middle Atlantic states, and in
rIorila, and rains are needed in por
lions of the Central Gulf states and in
southern Texas
In the eastern portion of Kansas and
Nebraska and in Iowa corn fields have
heen badly washed out, and much re-
nIanting will be necessary. In Iowa
The acreage will be materially reduced.
In the Southern states corn has eX-
nerienced a very favorable week, and
is largely laid by.
Winter wheat on low lands in the
eastern portions of Kansas and Nebras-
la and Northwestern Missouri has sus-
tanned injury from floods, but on the
whole the crop has made satisfactory
advancement. Harvesting is general
in Texas and has begun in Arkansas
and North Carolina.
Further improvement in the condi
zion of cotton is generally indicated,
but the crop, as a rule, is from two to
three weeks late. Better stands are
reported from the Carolinas, Tennes-
see. Alabama and portions of Missis-
sippi, Louisiana and Texas. In Arkan-
sas, Oklahoma and Missouri the crop
is grassy. Cut worms are causing
damage in Central and Southern Texas,
and the boil weevil are reported this
week from a number of additional
counties in this state.
The week has been very favorable
for transplanting tobacco, and this
work has made rapid progress in the
Ohio valley and Middle Atlantic states,
where the bulk of the crop will be set
during the present planting season.
