The King of Siam. who bears the
musical name of Chulalongkorn, al
though only s. years old, is celebrating
his golden Jubilee with unprecedented
magnificence in Bangkok. Chulalong-
korn has given Siam an enlightened
government and yet zealously guarded
native customs and institutions. Hence.
while he mas built canals, railways,
lighthouses and hospitals, he still serves
az a priest In the Buddhist temple He
has organized his army on the Ger
man model, but his bodyguard r. still
composed OF amazons--400 daughters OF
his mobiles.

He invented metallic tractors" which
he used in the treatment of rheuma-
tism, neuralgia and various painful
disorders. But he was nearly 100 years
in advance of his age and for advo-
eating the use of his tractors he was
expelled from the Connecticut Medical
Society. This was in 1897.
Jacob Perkins, born in Newbury-
port, Mass, July 8, 1865, was an en-
inent mechanic. He received orders
from the government for making the
dies used in striking the copper coin
issued at that time, an attempt in
which others had signally failed.
Some of his dies are still extant. The
nails now in common use are manu-
featured by the process which he in
vented. He also invented a steam gun
capable of discharging 1900 balls in
minute. This instrument was ex-
hibited before the Duke of Yelling
ton, in London; he also constructed
one for the French government. He
was known aboard as the American
inventor"
Concerning the coat-of-ArTns, which
is given, it was taken from a deed of
land in Ipswich, England, sold by Dr.
John Perkins to John Wainwright, in
1725, and was undoubtedly used by
his family, who were then subjects of
the British crown. The arms are de-
scribed as a Jesse dancette between
ten billets. The crest is a pine
cone.
This is also the arms upon the mon
ument of Richard Perkins and Lady
Merwyn, his wife. Statues of the two
kneeling before a desk, were formerly
part of the tomb, but they are now
broken down. Another large arched
tobstone in the same church, at
Ufton, has statues of a man in armor
with his wife besides him. The coat-of-
arms is quite similar to that of Rich
ard Perkins. The Jesse and the billets
are arranged differently, but the crest
is the same pine cone. These stones
are erected to the memory of Francis
Perkins and his wife, Anna.
Although the arms may vary, the
crest is usually the pine cone. Several
branches of the family have borne an
eagle for arms, others a lion. The
lion is usually an emblem of nobility.

The letters of Mrs. Stevenson, the
mother of the novelist, have lately been
published in London and have been
highly praised. They seem to con-
firm the view which has often been
expressed that Stevenson inherited
much of his literary talent from his
mother.

F. Norment, and Daniel Frazer, appoint
ed April %, when the directors of the

the Southern Railway, who lives at
Mitchells station, Culpeper county, was
run over and instantly killed by local
freight train No. Ga yesterday afternoon.

himself on the track as it afforded him
better opportunity to see the animal but,
un fortunately he fell asleep across the

object lying across the tracks, but
thought twas a paper, but almost
instantly he recognized the object
as that of child, and reversed

Case Continued.

The case of William Whalen, charged
with attempting to assault Lima Davis,
The particulars of which were given in
yesterdays Gazette, was called in the
Police Court at o'clock this morning.
Only those directly interested were pres
ent. The young woman was unable to
attend, her mother stating that her in
juries were such as to keep her confined
to her home. The evidence was in the
main hearsay, witnesses testifying to
what Whalen and the young woman told
them. 1t was shown that the couple
had walked a short distance south Of
Franklin street on the electric railway
track where the scenes outlined in yes
terday's Gazette were enacted and where
both were struck with brick by one of
the five men who followed them, and
that the cries of the girl and the actions
of her companion had brought the men
to the rescue of the young woman. The
latter had detailed TO her mother
Whalen's extraordinary conduct toward
her two weeks ago, as well as most of
the details concerning Wednesday nights
experience. Miss Davis's mother said
Whalen had offered to marry the young
woman after the affair of Wednesday
night. Mrs. Davis testimony was minute
in detail concerning her daughters condi
ton ard especially damaging to Whalen,
while the evidence of three of the men
who alleged they heard the young wo-
mans cries was extraordinary. JO-
seph Clark acknowledged he was the
individual who threw the brick that in
iured Whalen and Miss Davis. The de-
PENDANT finally gave his version of the
affair which was as sensational as that OF
the three men who had come upon the
couple. He denied the charge of as
sault, aud averred that the occurrence
was the result of mutual relations be-
tween himself and the plaintiff. The
Mayor sent the prisoner to Jail for an
other hearing when the prosecutrix will
be able 10 appear.

Chased from their Net.

Shad are said to be very numerous in
the river north of Alexandria, and a
night or two ago two Westinghouse who
had heard these fish were so dense that
they were dashing their heads against
the sea wall at the Washington arsenal,
concluded to risk the consequences and
make drift. The net was placed in
the river and the owners were anxiOusly
awaiting "strikes" when the dreaded
police boat which, is on the alert night
and day for those violating the law by
fishing north of Jones Point, doomed up.
The fishermen managed to make their
escape by abandoning their net, which
drifted down the river past this city to a
point opposite Fort Foote where it was
found by an Alexandria giller. The
net contained So fine shad. The owners
of the net later came to this city and re-
covered their property.
