New York, April 14.--Presiding
Elder A. ]. Palmer, of Newburg dis.
'trict, addressing the New York con.

church, voiced demand that salaries
of the country pastors be Increased
so their families may at least have

He said that on account of blizzards
and floods some ministers had some
times been unable to reach their out
lying stations.
"In these days" he continued,
when the cost of the necessaries Of
life has increased, there should be an
increase in the salaries Of ministers.
1t is not right, say, that ministers
of the gospel should merely exist, not
live.

EXILED
QUEENS
BIRTHDAY
Venerable Marie of Hanover
Is Monarch With no
Throne

Vienna, April 14.-At Gmunder. in
upper Austria, where she resides with
her son, the Duke of Cumberland the
venerable Queen Marie of Hanover
observed her seth birthday today.
Queen Marie is a queen without a
throne, for her husband was deposed
nearly forty years ago, so that the
greater part of her life has been spent
in exile. She was 25 when she mar.
ried the king of Hanover, in 1S4S,
and she enjoyed being queen for
2S years.
In the war of 1866 Hanover sided
against Prussia, and the Prussian
king, afterwards Emperor William L.,
of Germany, the grandfather of the
present emperor, revenged himself by
deposing the Hanovarian monarch
and adding Hanover to Prussia.
Queen Marie has never forgiven tho
Homenzollerns for depriving her of
her seat on throne, and 1t Is due
chiefly to her urgings that her son,
the Duke of Cumberland refuses to
abandon his claim to the throne OF
Hanover.

other detour again starts the snake on

are followed until the reptile comes
to . bewildered pause. Then the
catcher will take out his handker-
