the novelist. once told of his exper-
fences as a journalist In Kentucky
many years ago.
There was good deal of news, ne
said, such as shooting and knihngs,
but this news was not regarded as I'M
portant, and little attention was paid to
it. I remember once when a local feud
broke out afresh when members or the
opposing sides met at the county seat.
There were hot words, blow was
struck, and weapons were drawn, when
the sheriff interfered. He loudly an
nounced that he would not tolerate
any violence, ordered the parties to Sc
narate. and when his orders were not
obeyed he began shooting. forget
whether he killed eight or nine, but l

COMB AND CIGAR HOLDERS MADE OF
M1LK.-At the Hygienic Milk Supply
exhibition which was lately held at
Hamburg, the Vereinigten Gummiwar-
en- -Fabriken Of Harbug and Vienna ex-
hibited a number Of objects which
seemingly had nothing whatsoever to
do with hygienic milk supply. There
were shown, nicely arranged In glass
boxes, combs seemingly made Of horn;
cigar holders with amber colored
mouthpieces; knives and fork handles
similar in appearance to ebony; fer
rules for umbrellas and sticks, and
balls. rings, chess figures, dominos,
etc., also a small table with an inlaid
marble slab, and finally a number Of
thick slabs and slaves with every i'm
aginable variation Of marble colors, but
of considerably less weight than real
marble These objects were made Of
"galalith"-i. e., milk stone.
The principal albuminoid substance
of SKINNED milk, the casein, Is the
raw material out of which the new
product galalith is manufactured.
More than fifteen years ago the idea
was originated to manufacture various
articles like buttons, handles, orna-
mental plates and colored pencils out
of casein.
An advantage Of the new product as
compared with celluloid Is the fact that
it does not ignite so easily and Is en-
tirely odorless. Trials have proved that
even when kept for weeks in water 1t
does not distend more than the best
quality of buffalo horn.-Scientific

INTENSE JOY PREVAILS.
Dispatch From Hungary Gives an In
terestinQ Version.

Berlin. June IA dispatch from Sem
lin, Hungary, TO the National Zeitung
gives an interesting version of the trou-
BILE at Belgrade. 1t says:
"A party of officers proceeded to the
palace by previous arrangement with
General Jubasivokovitch and called upon
King Alexander to abdicate in favor Of
Prince Kars Georgevitch. The king re-
fused and shot Colonel Naumivics who
made the proposal. The other officers
thereupon summoned the war minister,
General Pavolitch and Tudorvitch, the
minister of the interior. and shot the king
and queen with Petrovics. one of the
kings aides-de-camp. and other loyal Of
ficers The leader of the actual assail-
ants was Colonel Mischich. who himself
murdered the queen. The latter. together
with her brother and sisters. was struck
down with an ak. The queen died imme-
diately. The king lived few minutes
The immediate cause of the revolution
was the return to Belgrade OF Lieutenant
Legievitza. brother Of the queen. and
supposed candidate for the throne.
The surviving ministers have been ar
rested.
The obsequies of the king end queen
will be held June Il.
a festaI Illumination Of Belgrade is
projected for this evening"
The dispatch concludes with stating
that intense joy prevails at Belgrade.
The German government can not be
said TO have taken any attitude as yet
regarding the provisional administration
Of Servia. The immediate feeling is one
OF antagonism to the new ministry. and
there is an indisposition TO make its path
easy. The foreign Office is simply wait

state treasurer. does not believe it will
be necessary to hold a special session of
the legislature TO pass laws enabling
counties to replace bridges washed out by
the food and to vote money for the aid
OF food sufferers. Speaking about the
matter yesterday he said:
If there was need for special ses-
sion OF the legislature to aid the food
sufferers. it existed at the time the food
was at it's height. or Immediately follow
ing Since then an appeal has been made
for aid and is being responded TO quite

vened in special session there is no money

Should the legislature be convened and
an appropriation made, the warrants
drawn for this amount would have to be
stamped: Not paid for want Of funds" ."
The warrants would draw 6 per cent In
terest Should the appeal made for aid
not bring in a sufficient amount to relieve
the suffering. the governor. or the exc
cutive council could borrow money at a
less rate than s per cent and pledge
the faith Of the state to repay the same
at its regular session in 1896. There are
numerous precedents for this and IT can
be done with much less trouble and ex
pense than by a session OF the legislature.

Geneva, June 11.-Prince Peter Kara
Georgevitch, whom the Servian army mas
proclaimed king, has been living in
Geneva since 1891. He appeared greatly
astonished on receiving the news from
Belgrade, which he said had reached him
through a private telegram from Vienna.
Over the telephone this afternoon he
said to the Associated Press correspond
ent he had not yet received any official
notice regarding the events which took
place in Belgrade last night. He did not
even know whether It was true that he
had been proclaimed king and said he
did not know when, IL at all, he could
start for Belgrade.
Through the Russian consul, an inti-
mate friend of Prince Kara Georgevitch
the Associated Press correspondent this
afternoon obtained the following state
ment:
prince Kara Georgevitch declares him
self innocent of any knowledge of the
tragedy at Belgrade. He said that
through his grandfather he undoubtedly
ha dthe best right to the Seryian throne
and intended taking it If possible for the
sake of his son. but he expected to meet
with great difficulties and hoped for the
assistance from Austria
From other sources il is learned that
the prince will leave secretly on Friday
morning for Vienna, whence he will pro-
ceed to Belgrade. Rumors have been
current here for three days of expected
trouble in Servia and Prince Kara George
