After dinner on Wednesday evening
the king and queen, with some OF
their relatives and several ministers,
sat on the balcony of The palace Sud
denly the king demanded that Queen
Dragn leave the country. She refused

Few Equals In History.

Few Equals In History.
Dispatches from Belgrade says that
since the late King Alexander's last
suspension OF the Seryfan constitution
the army had been.animated by hos
tile feelings toward both the King
and Queen. The revolution was
planned weeks ago. Secret commit
tees were organized in the county and
worked in cooperation with the
army. The lead, rs Of Il c revolution
are said to have been the new minis
ters OF justice aud iinancc, respective
ly, NJ. Schiokuyics and NJ. Vclikovics,
and the Sixth regiment Of infantry,
garrisOning belgrade, was designated
to carry out the plot. 1t was origin
ally intended that The plot should be
executed later, but fears that the new
Scrvian parliament would settle the
question Of the succession to the
throne hastened matters. Col. Nau-
movies, the adjutant Of the king, was
entrusted with the execution of the
plans. While on duty atll O'clock
"Wednesday night Naumovics burst
in the door leading to the sleeping
apartments of the royal couple with a
bomb and then entered, accompanied
by MiScllich and number Of Junior
officers. Previously the palace guard
had been ovcrp0wercd and its com
mander, Capt. Pauajovics, was killed
TIE KING a MAN TO THE LAST.
NaumovicS presented to the king a
form Of abdicati0n for his signature
The document contained the sta te-
ment that by marrying a "public
proStit ute" the king had degraded
Scrvia and that therefore he must
abdicatc. The kings answer was to
draw Il revolver and kill Naumuvics
on the spot. Mischich then picked
up the document and presented it
again, and the king, who perceived
his danger, fled with Queen Dragl to
tho palace roof, both being in their
night clothes. The officers followed,
continuously lring and ultimately shot
down the royal couple. Major Luka
LaZarcwicS, who had been under the
kings diSplcaSure for two years. is
said to have fired the shot which ac-
tually killed the king.
At about = o'clock Thursday morn.
ing Queen Draga'S two brothers were
shot at their homes, as well as Pre-
micr Markoyltch and his brothcr-n-
law, M. Milkovitch, the minister or
the interior, M. Tudorovics, and his
daughter, and the war minister, Gen.
Pavlovitch.
While these events were proceeding
ut the palace the streets of the city
were already occupied by soldiers and
an armed force surrounded the royal
residence. The horses and guns of
the batteries Of artillery were all deco
rated with cvcrgrccnS, as FIR fc. IT,
val. The soldiers discarded the badge
OF King Alexander from their helmets.
An attempt was made to support the
| dynasty hy The commander uf the
Danube division, who tried to march
the Eighth regiment Of infantry into
the city to help The late king but he
was opposed by "a body ut troops under
Col. GagowicS. In the fight which
cnsucd both the officers mentioned
were killed.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The charge that 1850 out of Middle
sex County's total of about $500
voters are corrupt and may be pur-
chased has been pretty thoroughly
refuted on general principles, but it
certainly seems as if the Middlesex
County officials are not all men of the
highest standard of honor, honesty
and official integrity. There is a gen.
eral demand in the Middlesex papers
for thorough and fearless investiga-
tion of the affairs of the Board of
Chosen Freeholders on the ground
that there has been crookedness in
awarding certain contracts. Officials
who value their character and in
tegrity would not long rest under such
a demand, but would insist upon an
investigation that would make every
transaction as clear as day. Newark

In one of the downtown banks the

$50 missing. That started trouble for
the whole institution. Until nearly
midnight the whole force was kept
busy searching for that half century,
but to no avail, reports the Pittsburg

next day and the next but nowhere
could be found trace of the short
change. Finally it was given up, but
the matter was not allowed to rest
there. The loss was narrowed down to
three or four clerks, and their records
were thoroughly investigated. Not a
trace of gambling or drinking was
found, but every man in the bank who
could have gotten his hands on the
money felt the finger of suspicion
pointing his way.

A great deal is being said by the
newspapers of the State about the
proposed constitutional amendments
which the people are to vote upon this
fall. There are arguments by both
sides, for and against, and if the
common voter should attempt to de-
eide which way to cast his ballot by
reading the accounts, he would be
more confused than ever.
What the ordinary, everyday citizen
of New Jersey wants is enough JUS
tices in the Supreme Court and
enough chancellors in the Ohanoery
Court to do the business they are
called upon to perform within
reasonable length of time. Therefore
any change which will relieve these
justices and vice chancellors will be
in the interest of the people and any
additions to these courts, or increase
of power for subordinates, will be of
advantage to the commonwealth.
A striking example of the way
things are tied up in the higher courts
ls found in this city. Perth Amboy

street and Hall avenue crossings of

lives have been lost at these places
and every day there is constant danger.
The city made an effort to get the
gates. The matter was taken to court.
The lower courts decided the gates
were necessary. The railroad carried
the fight further and we are now told
that it is on the list of Supreme
Court cases and will come up as soon
as it it is reached. That was two or
three years ago. We are still waiting
tor that case to be reached. All
efforts to get at it are turned aside by
the same reply. "It will be consider
ed as soon as it is reached. F"
Whether the case has been lost,
strayed or stolen. is hard to learn, but
there is evidently something the
matter with the courts The amend
ments proposed, we believe, will
remedy this to a certain extent. At
least, it cannot be much worse than

and Miss Elliott will bring their
entire London company to America
and will stage this play here with
every detail of the original scenery
and mechanical effects. 1t is describ-
ed by the London critics as a very
powerfully constructed play, present.

The great popularity of the book, ire
spective of the standing of the joint
stars, insures a very wide anticipatory
interest in this attraction In all parts
of the country.
Work on Klaw & Erlangers New
Amsterdam Theatre on AID Street near
Broadway, is progressing rapidly.
Over 900 men are now employed in
this structure, which Will be the most
perfect theatre in the world. More
than 2,000 tons of steel have been
utilized In the building. 1t will real
ly be two theatres, one erected on top
of the other. The roof theatre, which
will be as complete in every detail as
any Broadway house and as large,
will be devoted to an entirely differ
ent class of production than those
presented in the New Amsterdam.
The unusually elaborate system of
construction employed in this building
is we'll exemplified in one fact-that
the main girder supporting the roof
theatre is the largest single piece of
iron work ever put into any building
in the world. 1t is 80 feet long, IA
feet high and weighs 70 tons. The
balcony and gallery are constructed
on new principle and are SO strong
that they could support the weight of
a railroad train. The new theatre
will be absolutely fireproof. Every
piece of infiammable material used in
their construction or decoration will
be treated by a process which will
make its ignition impossible. Safety,
comfort and magnifioenoe, both in the
auditorium and on the stages, ire
spectiye of any question of expense,
have been the chief considerations in
the planning and construction of this
building,
