Trondhjen. June 22--With noble cere-

today were invested with the crowns Of
Norway. The time, the circums tances
and memory gave the occasion a pecu-

The short, white night through which
quiet reigned for the first time since the
coronation festivities began, merged into
a cold, sunless day. and scarcely a sound
save the tramp Of soldiers. the roll of
carriage wheels and occasional shouts
broke the silence until all the days bells
announced to the waiting assembiage
that the royal family had left the palace
and were proceeding to the cathedral.
Already the ancient edifice, lighted by

Mr.. Hale withdrew the amendment and
renewed his request that the house bill

understanding that il be voted on at

until 5 o'clock and the proposition was
agreed to. with the understanding that

ten minutes dura ton. The discussion
then proceeded with the Independent bill
as its basis.
Senator Carmack opposed the bill on
the ground that the only purpose is to
give the people a free show. and said the

PREDICTED.

Washington, June 22--The opposition to
the committee amendment to the sundry
civil bin sppropriating $4,000 annually for
the payment of the travelling expenses

Senator McLaurin resulted today in the
W-ithdrawa of the amendment by Senator
Hale, in charge of the bill, and the sub
sequent passage Of the independent Dill
providing practically for the same dDprO-
priatiOn which WAS recently passed by the
house of representatives. The Dill as
passed reads as follows:

States such sum as congress may appro-
pirate from time TO time, not exceeding
So .0o0 per annUm, such sum when apprO-

considerable other business was transact

MIR. FoFaker's Views.

Senator Foraker suggested that to make
the appropriation by separate bill now
pending would be preferable to making II
as an amendment to an appropriation bill
He concluded that the appropriation
would be an emOlument and therefore IN
constitutional.
Continuing. Mr.. Bacon said she did not
object to the presidents visits TO the
various sections of the country, and re-
ferred to the tours Of President Cleve-
land. President Harrison and President
Mckinley.
Does the senator mean to say that
they paid their own Way2 asked Sena-
tor Lodge, and when Mr. Bacon replied
in the affirmative. Mr.. Lodge replied that
''it is perfectly well known that they did
not but that the railroads had paid their
expenses"
Mr.. Bacon then said that he had only
meant to say that the government had
not footed the bills. Both senators agreed
that under the prospective railroad rate
law the president could not accept free
transportation from the railroads.
Senator Hale then proposed that the
house bin on the subject Of travelling ex-
penses for the president be taken up and

will be held in Charlottesville, Dec.
4.6 next. If we are to have ia
great meeting the people must be-
stir themselves in time. A num-
Der of district and local bodies are
yet to hold their meetings and can
attend to the appointment of their
delegates. The basis of represen-
tation is as follows: Local churches
and church auxilliaries and local
temperance organization are en-
titled to two delegates and two al
ternates: County temperance or
CARNATIONS three delegates, three
alternates, district religious bodies,
five delegates and FIVE alternates.
The cost will not be great to send
a delegate if the members of the
churches or organizations will each
contribute something to send at
least one delegate. Don't wait for
someone else to present the matter,
but attend to it yourself. 1t would
be better to have a half-dozen peo-

Syrian Leper To Be Sent Abroad.

Geo. Raschid, the Syrian leper,
who has been located near Pickens,
Randolph county, WA, since the
first of last month after the rail
road had gotten tired Of stunning
him about from place to place will
likely have the desire Of his life sat,
isfed in a very short time, and be
able to spend the few remaining
days he has to live at his old home
on the other side Of the ocean.
Chas. Amien, Of Wheeling, one
Of the most prominent Syrians of
the Ohio Valley, has returned from
a trip to New York, Philadelphia
and Pittsburg, in tie interest of
Raschid, and stated that he had
practically made final arrangements
for the deportation of Raschid. He
said that the leper would be sent
on ship with which arrangements
had been made for his transporta.
ton for $500, and that the Syrians
of this section who had interested
themselves in his behalf would
raise the necessary amount.
It is expected that it will take
81 1000, but the members of the COL
onies in the various large cities in
the country have taken great in
terest in the matter and it is antici.
pated there will he no trouble in
raising the necessary amount.
Small subscriptions will be solicit.
ed in order that the amount given
will not work a hardship upon
those contributing.
Mr.. Amien felt very positive that
the Syrians would be able to raise
the amount in a very short time
and he hopes to be able to an.
nounce that within the next month
or six weeks Raschid will be en-
route to his native country to spend
his last days in close proximity
his old home. and with relatives
and friends.

FIeas Plentiful In rIarlirton

This town is suffering from a
plague Of feas equal to that which
haras sed the much afflicted Egyp-
tians in the day Of yore. We al.
ways did have marc or less feas, but
if they were entertained By the
better families, he fact was never
made public. For sometime the
people scratched in silence until
they saw their neighbor uncomfort-
able from the same source, and
since then it has become a chief
topic of conversation. They are
here literally by the thousands,
there being a case on record where
more than 200 were killed by one
person in an hour, and it was one
of the small hours, too. Why a
flea is is post us. There is an old
superstition that they rain, as do
frogs. This has not, to our know
ledge, been authenticated, but we
would not put it beyond them. II
they really do come this way, they
would have had an opportunity to
ride to town on thunder shower
almost any day this summer. Per-
sonally we do>not attract fleas;they
are blood-loving creatures and like
to take theirs straight. Our sys-
tenn is so permeated with tobacco,
lead, ink, ct cetera, that we are thus
rendered immune. Fleas are crea-
lures Of habit, and the advantage
of this fact once enabled a great
detective to run to earth a man
who stayed out at nights to do his
aeighbor mischief, and attempted
to prove the time he was at home
by saying that he had arose in the
early darkness to kill the 6eas that
were fostering him, and had seen a
man coming from the scene of the
crime which was committed at that
hour. The detective by a peculiar
method Of deduction called up the
time as a boy on the farm he was
bitten by feas when he first retired
and thus proved by circumstantial
evidence that the witness had not
slept long in his bed, and was him
self the guilty man.-Pocahontas
Times.
