crowns.
Copen hagen.

Emperor William, who was sched-
uled to visit Copenhagen July q, came
there it is believed for the purpose
of discussing the Swedish-Norwegian
ouestiorswith King Christiania, whose
son, Prince Charles, has been offered
the crown Of Norway. The newspa-
pers in Denmark assert that the en-
peror is honestly seeking to establish
peace for all Europe and that his OBJ
ject in paying his respects to Sweden
and Denmark is automatically reasur-
ing Norway in order that none Of
thse kingdoms may give sympathetic
ear to any gossip unfavorable to Ger
many 1t is also asserted that the en-
perer above all would like to see
peaceful settlement between Sweden
and Norway and also that Prince
Charles would accept the Norwegian
throne. Naturally the emperor is not
favorable to Norway becoming re,
public and this all may largely ac-
count for his visit to Copenhagen.
Copenhagen is steadily increasing in
population. The present crisis be-
tween Sweden and Norway has greatly
augmented emigration from Sweden
and they are coming by the scores
every week Many Of them, of
course, proceed to America, but
large number remain in Copenhagen.
The building industry has been es-
pecially lively during the spring and
summer months and carpenters have
been drawing good wages. Denmark
at present is prosperous and with an
excellent harvest and with the great,
est dairy industry in the world she
easily outranks both Sweden and Nor
way, although so much smaller in area
and population.
A delegation Of Austrian and Ger
man dairymen are at present in
Esbjerg and vicinity, where they are
studying the Danish dairy system.
Not long ago an English delegation
visited the country for the same pur-
pose.
A monument erected in honor Of the
poet Ambrosius Stub was unveiled at
the Kjong high school few days ago.

Accidents.
The worst railway disaster that has
occurred in England for fifteen years
was the collision Of crowded electric
train with an empty one on the Lam
castershire and Yorkshire railway
July q, resulting in the instant death
Of twenty-five persons and the injury
Of many. The steel frame of the front
express car rose in the air and fell
upon the passengers, and one or two
cars caught fire.
A fire started in tank Of the Texas
Oil company, at Humble, Tex, has
caused the loss Of eleven lives and
property to the value Of nearly half
million.
The revised official list Of the casual
ties on the gunboat Bennington

twenty-eight wounded and ninety

Deaths.
Daniel s. Lamont, who was private
secretary to Grover Cleveland during

EN- TIFIC

Man Should Live a Hundred Years.
In an address to the public health
congress at London Sir James c..
Brown, the noted specialist In mental
and nervous diseases, took issue with
the Osler theory Of human usefulness.
He thought that much Of the worlds
best work had been done by men over
instances to prove this. He declared
that every man was entitled to cen
fury of life and woman to a little
over a century This, he said, could be
reached only by faithful obedience to
the laws Of health and with simplicity
and tranquility in living.
Says HiIprecht Was Whitewashed.
The Rev. DR.. John P. Peters Of New
York, who as an Assyriologist Of high
repute was prominent in the recent at
tack on the reputation of Professor
Hilprecht in connection with the Nip
pur tablet library, has addressed an
open letter to Provost Harrison Of the
University of Pennsylvania, protesting
that the Investigation of Hnprecnt,
which resulted in his exoneration, was
nothing less than whitewash.
Barton's DriaibIe Balloon Tested.
The 1877 foot airship designed by
DR.. Barton at London, England, with
crew Of five persons, has been tested
with partial success. In a forty mile
an hour wind the ship rose gracefully,
but in spite Of it's fifty horsepower
motor at each end the steerage was
only partially successful, as it was
found impossible to come back to land
at the point of starting.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

According to John Adams, 1t Should
Be July 2.
On the Sd of July, 1776, John Adams,
then one Of the representatives Of Mas
sachusetts in the Continental congress,
wrote to his wife Abigail:
Yesterday the greatest question was
decided which was ever debated in
America, and a greater perhaps never
was nor will be decided among men,"
In a second letter, written the same
day, he said
"But the day is past The I'd Of July
will be the most memorable epocha in
the history Of America. / am apt to be-
lieve that it will be celebrated by sue
ceeding generations as the great ami
versary festival. 1t ought to be COM
memorated as the day Of deliverance
by solemn acts of devotion to God AL
mighty. 1t ought to be solemnized
with pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and
Examinations from one end Of this con-
tinent to the other from $his time for
ward, forevermore.
When the resolution was taken up on
the I'd, all the states, except New York,
voted to accept it. Thus, on the I'd
day of July, 1915, the independence
of the thirteen united colonies from
the throne Of Great Britain was def
nitely decided upon. The I'd, and not
the 18th, may be called the true date Of
the separation. We could with propri
or IoI,r TO hn Jrth
lier. That the participants in the work
considered the I'd as the true date is
shown by the letters written by John
Adams, quoted at the beginning of the
article. The popular fancy, however,
seized upon the 4th, the date of accept
ance of Jefferson's more dramatic dec
laration of the reasons for the sepa-
ration as the proper day to celebrate.
The debate upon the document was
continued until the afternoon of the
4th, and, says Jefferson, might have
run on Unfortunately at any other sea-
son of the year. But the weather was
oppressively warm, and the hall in
which the deputies sat was close to a
stable, whence the hungry flies
swarmed thick and fierce, alighting on
the legs of the delegates and biting
hard through their thin silk stockings.
Treason was preferable to discomfort"
and at last the delegates were brought
to such state Of mind as to agree to
the Declaration without further amend
ment.
1t Is mistake to suppose that the
document was signed by the delegates
on that day. 1t is improbable that any
signing was done save by John Han
cock. the president Of the congress, and
Charles Thomson. the secretary-Pau

CofEeyville, Jan. 13-The Record says:
One of the best criterions by which the
business Of a city may be judged is
the amount Of business the local post
Office does in a given length Of time,
or from month to month. The Coffey-
vile Office has enjoyed a steady in
crease in business for the past eight or
ten years, but the last year or two has
shown marvellous jump in the amount
Of money handled in stamps, money or
ders. postal cards, and other commodI-
ties OF the postal business.
During the quarter which closed De-
cember 81, the total amount of business,
exclusive of the money order business,
was $5sS--6e. The year 1903 showed a
total business OF $4,493.14. This shows
an increase of about 81 500.
The month of December was the
month when the bulk of the Christmas
business was done The postof1ce was
rushed to death. Everyone seemed to
be wanting stamps, money orders, par
GELS weighed and stamped. and the
dozens Of things which are incident to

goods for the month of December was

amounted to S1,71449. OF the amount

His Smart Trick

ct suppose there comes to every
man a desire to do something smart
on an OCCASION said the drummer,
as a sigh took the place of his smile.
"Well, such a desire came to me
as I was leaving a certain southern
city after a weeks stay. The waiter
at my table had called me fGineraI
and been at great pains to care for
me, and I made up my mind to re-
ward him with a five dollar bill. It
was a counterfeit with which I had
been stuck, but I thought it would
be tn ebiggest kind of a joke to work
it off on Bob. He almost rubbed the
floor with his nose in his delight, and
I went my way chuckling over the
land did it turn out to be funny 70

II will let you judge of that. I had
got a hundred miles away when I was
arrested on a telegram for passing
counterfeit money, and when taken
back I was arraigned in a United
States court and had to give bail
and appear on three different occa-
sions. 1 had a lawyer and other ex-
penses, lost a good three weeks alto
gether, and just escaped prison by
the skin of nay teeth. In addition to
this I had to make good to the
waiter, who sorrowfully shook his
head when he received the money and
said:
