1T IS KING PETER.
Seryian Parliament Unanimous
IyElected a Ruler, Yesterday.
Head OF the Karagecrgevitch Family
to Succeed King Alexander.
He Announces That He Will Be Pleased
to Accept Throne.

Belgrade, June 15.-With scarcely the
excitement which marks an ordinary
fete day in the capital, Servia, today,
instituted new dynasty. Within less
than two hours from the time of meet
ing in the wing of the royal palace
where King Alexander and his Queen
were shot down, the Senate and Skupt-
selma in joint session had legally and
with due formality elected Prince Peter
Karageorgevitch King of Servia and
had Geographically notified him of the
fact.
There was absolute unanimity, no
other name but that of Prince Kara
georgevitch being pronounced. The re-
suit was greeted with loud cheers and
then the minister of justice, M. Schio-
kovics, fastened to the balcony over
looking the street and announced to the
people:
Peter the First, of the dynasty of
the karageorgevtcfes, is your new
King. You are congratulated upon the
unanimous vote. of your representa-
tives" -
The crowd responded with cheers up
on cheers, which. however, had the eff
feet of being somewhat mechanical, as
though proceeding from well-disposed
groups. At the same time a royal sa-
lutte of 101 guns was fired.
The proceedings closed with brief
speeches by President Velimirovitch
and Premier AVakumovics. The depu-
ties then streamed forth from the
palace, the soldiers on guard marched
away and in five minutes the space in
front of the konak had resumed it's
normal aspect.
When the late Queen Draga's regi-
ment, with the other troops of the gar
rison, took the oath of allegiance, it
was obvious that they were in complete
ignorance of what they were doing.
They sWore allegiance to n constitu-
ton which has not yet been formulate
cd. The utter vacancy in their faces
showed that they would as readily have
taken an oath of allegiance to the Car
or to the Emperor of Austria. The
town is full of unsavory gossip con-
corning the late Queen, and there is not
Il scintilla of sympathy for the murder
ed royal couple.
At o'clock, this evening, a telegram
to the government arrived from the
new King. 1t ran:
THE splendid proofs of devotion
from my beloved people, my faithful
army and patriotic government have
deeply touched me. From the bottom
of true Servian heart, / thank Provi
dence, which has vouchsafed me, by
Gods mercy and through His will, to
ascend the throne of my former ances-
tors. / beg you, the premier and your
colleagues in the government to accept
my royal acknowledgment with the as
surance of my particular good will"

town, "of places where early to
matoe plants could be found
When | returned home that after
noon, l CHANGED to look from a

several dozen tomato plants, al

What l had found for sale were
almost worthless, but the best l
could wish were already at my

If we would but open our eyes
to other things we seek abroad,
which are to be found at our

plants. Our state abounds in

among such shiftless people. In

be of that ilk ourselves, and tax.

if not more, waiting for US at our

1t doesn't take any especial tai

defame the best community, if SO

One of the evils of the past, as

sTINGINESs OR ECONOMY

No one likes to be called stingy,
no matter how honestly they de
serve the epithet. The word
somehow suggests an idea o fgene
raj littleness, condensed mean
ness, hide bound selfishness, and
narrowness combined. and most
of US want to appear rich and
racy. Genuine stinginess invaria.
bly, wears the CLOAK of economy.
but the cloven foot nearly always
escapes from the disguise. The
real article can always be known
by its trail, ~blighting both indi.
vldual and community, and yam.
pire.like, it drains the life-blood
OF a place and people. Stingi.
ness, unfortunately is contagious.
The germ originates in the peck.
cts of capitalists who conceive
the idea of growing richer at the
expense of other people growing
poorer, and of vetoing the circu.
lation of every dollar that will
not return to his own Golfers,
doubled or trebled by a shrewd
financial deal.
Economy, on the other hand,
is the backbone of progress, and
main prop and stay of prosperity,
both domestic aud national. it
should be, conseientiously prac
ticed by the poor, because it is a
sure cure for poverty; by the rich,
because it sets an example for
Thrift which will be followed as
