LONDON. Jan. without being unduly
alarmst, It is not too much to say that the
never very stable peace of the Balkans
may again be threatened by disturbances
and even revolution in SerNia. From time
to time the report comes that the King
has threatened to abdicate, and that he
will carry out his threat.

siton panty and the kind of slavery in
which he ia held by the regicide officers
who organized the late revolution that
his difficulties are very serious and are
increased by the preoccupation Of Russia
and AustI a with their own internal troubles
It seems that the crimes that accompanied
the recent revolution produced ceavages

jest OF the English Press Not Borne Ont
by the Facts.

LONDON, Jan. The marriage Of Miss
Daisy Letter to the Earl Of Suffolk has

out that American women who have mar
ried peers number only twenty-five.
This number includes all the Americans
with one exception, who have married peers
since 1850, a period Of forty-four years.
Ten of these women have no children at
all, and ak have no sons, so, according to
the paper referred 70. the peerage is not

ers S15O semi-annually; wholesale liquor
dealers 800 semi-annually; retail

the revenue laws of this state for car
rying on or engaging in the liquor
business shall not be held to exempt
any person from any penalty or pun
ishment provided by the laws of any

lature, will net an annual income of
over 100000.
