BELGIAN KING soYcoTTeo.

BRUSSELS. April s.-King Leopold
of Belgium. one Of the most capable
and least respected monarchs of Eur
ope. entered upon his 10th year to-
day. In all truth II must be said that
Leopold's personal qualities and hab-
its Of life show no sign of improving
with age. His recent discreditable
lawsuit with his daughter. the ex-
Grown Princess Stephanie. has caused
him to forfeit the last vestlge OF re-
spect which his brother ruler of Eur.
ope may have had for him. or rather
for his position When the venerable
King Christian OF the little Danish
kingdom to tho north observed his
birthday yesterday messages of hear
ty congratulation poured In upon him
from all the courts of Europe 1t is
doubtful, however, If King Leopold has
received single felicitious note on
the occasion of his birthday. though
the foreign diplomats. bound by GUS
tom and etiquette. called to pay their
respects on behalf OF their respective
sovereigns
Among the sovereigns OF Europe
there appears to be just at present a
well-denned disposition to boycott the
Belgian king A short time ago 1t was
Officially given out here that while
Prince and Princess Albert were like
ly to visit the st. Louis exposition It
would be impossible for King Leopold
TO cross the Atlantic owing to the ne
cessity of his remaining at home to
welcome Emperor Francis Joseph to
Belgium In June. on the conclusion
Of that monarch's visit to England.
In response to this a semi-ofilcial an
effect that the Austrian emperor has
for the present no intention whatever
of paying a visit to Belgium.
King Leopold endeavored TO have
the king and queen of Italy stop over
In Belgium on their return to Rome
from England last fail. but his efforts
were fruitless. II was announced that
Emperor william. when he started for
the Mediterranean last month would
stop over to see King Leopold. but as
a matter Of fact the German emperor
carefully avoided stopping at any Bel
gian port. though he took pains to
make a stop at Dover. Since his ac-
cesslon King Edward has never visit
ed the court OF Brussels, though he is
a former friend OF Leopold and very
near relative. Even President Lou
bet has turned a deaf ear to the pro
posal that he should return in state
at Brussels the numerous visits which
King Leopold has made to Paris.
Strange as 1t may appear. the gen
eral dislike with which he Ia regarded
abroad has raised the king in the es-
timstlon Of his own people. The Bel
gians are content to critlcise him
themselves. but do not like foreigners
to do so. regarding 1t as incumbent
upon their national dignity to defend
their chief executive from reproach.
All clnsses. excepting. Of course. the
most rabid Socialists. are ready to ad-
init that. while all OF the kings public
and private acts-are not to be approx
ed, yet as n monarch he has been OF
inestimable advantage to his country

acquiring for 1t, by his statecraft and

bo safely taken for granted that In

that would mean that those who at

everything bad that Mr. Cleveland
stands for, and lacks the brutal frank.
ness that has given Mr. Cleveland
most Of his popularity. But Mr. Hill's
support. dangerous as II is. is not so
detrimental to Judge Parker as the
corporate support which is gradually
gathering about him There is no
doubt that the corporate interests
have an understanding with Judge
Parker, for without such an under.

maintained he vas not the man. The
picture was one forwarded by the rel
atives to the insurance company az
one OF the proofs Of death. Milne,
however, was sure OF him, by reason
OF bis large pose, and together the
trio walked to the mining colnpany's
boarding house to talk over the stu
alton.
After dinner Milne and the detec-
tive put Coolidge in the "sweatbox''
and for an hour they quizzed him On
all points. This was the undoing Of
the man, for In telling his story he
made several bad admissions, and
when.the hope vas held out to ni~
that ne would net be prosecuted he
finally gave up and bursting into tears
admitted that his name was Coolidge.
Coolidge blended with Milne not 70
bring n further disgrace on his
family and that he was willing TO do
anything to straiRhten out the mat
ter. Coolidge accompanied Milne to
Sheridan and there signed the papers
which established the fact that
Warren T. CclltdQe was alive.
All this time Coolidge was in coz
respondence with a firm Of attorneys
az Madison, WIS.,, and with his
daughter, who was the leading bene-
6ciary in the policies. His wife had
left him some time ago and bad COM
menced proceedings for a divorce.
How much interest the others had il
the policies was not told by COOLIDGE
HIS hiding place was indeed seclud-
ed spot, and the men had to travel
over a great deal Of rough country %
reach the place.
On leaving there Mr.. Milne assured
Coolidge that he could pursue bis
work without fear of nolestatioa
from the insurance companies. anA
he declared to Mr.. Milne that here
after he would try and lead different
life.

Monday and was pretty we'll sat

A LEAP YEAR EVENT
Ladies Gave Their Gentle
men Friends ~ Royal Enter
talnment Friday Night.

1t has been a number of years since
the young ladies have had an oppor-
tunity to have a word to say at the
dances. They have remained quietly
in their chairs and waited for the
gallant knight to come forward to
dance with her or pass her up as the
occasion might be. This being leap
year the young ladies to the number
of thirty-seyen arranged a party for
Friday evening where they were to
have full sway and conduct the party
to suit themselves. 1t was given in
the Mitchell Club rooms. and the re-
ports are that for pure, unnIloyed
amusement it vas the greatest event
OF the season or any past season.
Some of the young. ladies braved the
youths i'm their homes and conducted
them TO the hall. but Others, whose
natures were a little timid, stood on
the old order of things.
AT the patty the young gentlemen
were permitted to remain seated be-
tween the dances while the young
ladies clustered ir the lobby or other
wise amused themselves. A fine pro-
gram of dances was arranged and it
was gone through with in evident
enjoyment. The young ladies we're
exceptionally gallant in their atten-
lions to their friends and set an ex-
ample that doubtless will inure to
the benefit OF the fair hostesses. The
music was furnished by Nichols's
mandolin club and it was of a very
satisfactory nature.
The decorations in the hall we're
very pretty and arranged with taste.
Misses Marie Johnston and Lucille
Johnston served frappe to the guests
in a charming way.

THE REVEALS CLOSED
)ne of the Most successful Ever Held
in the Methodist Church IN
Many Years.

Sunday evening the revival meet
ipgs that have been in progress in the
Methodist church for the past three
weeks came to a close, and it is the
concensus OF opinion that 1T was one
OF the most successful that has ever
been held in that church. At the
morning service Pastor Wilkinson
was in charge and received thirty
five new members on probation and
i've by letter. This makes a total OF
lO2 that he has received into the
church since he came at the BEGIN
ming Of the new conference year.
Sunday evening DR.. @. B. Clark de.
livered the sermon and it was ope
that made q deep impression on the
audience. for it appealed to their
sympathy for joining 10 the religious
life for a closer walk with the Master.
At the conclusion Of the sermon Miss
Lee sang "Ninety and Nine" with
splendid effect.
Or. Nicholson extended an invita-
tion to any to come forward who
felt that they ought to follow in the
steps of the Master. While none
accepted the pressing invitation
at that time at the after meet
ing quite a nlmber knelt around the
altar for prayers. The result Of the
meetings has been that considerably
over u hundred have been led into
the religious life since they COM
menced and they have done a won
deIful amount of good.
