IRISH HOME RULE
Hint FROM KING
Edward Opens British p Parliament
with a Speech from the
Throne.

London, Feb. l9.-King Edward
opened the second parliament Of his
reign this afternoon with the customary
ceremonial. The absence of Queen Al
exandra, the prince and princess Of
Walest and the duke and duchess Of
Connanght and the mourning into which
the court had been thrown by the death
of King Christian detracted somewhat
from the brilliance of the pagant. 9th

5minstsk and the Proceedings in the
shousefof lords followed the well known
lines of those of previous years.
: The speech from the throne contained
no surprises The usual reference to
the continuance Of friendly relations
with foreign powers was followed by a
paragraph rejoicing over the fact that
the Russo-J apanese war has been
drought to an end by the satisfactory
conclusion Of the egotiations COM
itiative of the president Of the United
States, which had resulted in an hon.
erable peace.
Referring to the Moroccan confer
zence, the king remarked: 8 It is ear
nest1y to be hoped that the result of
these Negotiations may be conducive ia
the maintenance: of peace among all ma
tions. 80
Prospective Laws.
The speech closed with a mention OF
prospective legislation. An important
paragraph devoted to Ireland, which
was as follows:
"My ministers have under consider
alton a plan for improving and effect
ing economies in the system Of gov
eminent for Ireland and for introducing
thereinto means for associating the
people with the conduct of Irish affairs
It is my desire that the government q
the country, in reliance upon the ordl

BUFFALO BILL IS
NEAR BREAKDOWN !.
Famous Plainsman, Worn Out by
Business and Domestic Trou-
bles, About to Retire.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service. .
Omaha, Feb, 19.-Pressed down by
hard work, business perplexities, sick
ness and death in his family and do
nestle troubles and unhappiness, Buff
falo Bill, the famous old plainsman and
Snowman, is threatened with complete
breakdown. He now fully realizes that
if he would live and enjoy fair de-
gree Of health, physical and mental, he
must make radical change in his way
Of living.
Accordingly, he has made up his mind
to quit the show business at the end
Of the current year, return to his own
country from Europe, settle down in
Wyoming and take the world easier
than he has been wont to take it.
The death of his eldest and favorite
daughter two or three years ago nearly
broke Colonel Cody's heart. That was
really the beginning Of his troubles,
physical and mental.
Friends Desert Him.
Some Of his earnest friends have gone
back on him because of his effort to get
divorce. Practically all the men
whose respect and friendship he values
have condemned him sharply for apply
ing for a separation, and have expressed
sympathy with Mrs. Cody, whom they
regard as an eccentric woman but a
faithful wife.
In addition to this Colonel Cody has
met with many unpleasant experiences
with the Wild West show abroad. A
man who has been in the show business
| with Colonel Cody ever since he en-
gagged in it, and who knows ally its
secrets, said just before the colonel
sailed for France to rejoin the show
a few days ago:
| Show in Hard Lines.
.sColonel Cody has enough on his
mind to drive dozen ordinary men to
| insanity To be frank with you, the
Wild West show has had hard shedding
since it went to Europe. Things have
been going badly most of the time. In
southern France we met with some very
discouraging and distressing expe-
riences. In Paris we did good bust
ness and were well treated.
But the day we set out on our tour
of southern France, trouble began. Oul
crowds were small and ugly. Senti
ment was against Jus. To add to oul
i difficulties and troubles, crowd OF
| toughs followed us from town to towr
Z and. tried to break up the perform
ances. Almost every night we ha6
. pitched battles. with them; Frequently
shots were exchanged, and IN many In
stances men were wounded. You car

The last year has been a very un
happy one to Colonel Cody. 1t is time

world easier. He is going to do So

The Hudson Observer takes q rosy
view of the new antitoNin bin now
before the legislature, a view in
which the EVENING NEWS cannot
iofn. The Observer thinks the meas
ure better than nothing. but in real
ity it is merely a blind to make the
people think something is being done
for them. whereas the trust reaps
MI the benefit. The Observer SAYS:
Seldom has the force Of public
opinion had such immediate effect
upon Legislators as in the hurried re-
consideration by the senate of a bill
for the free distribution by the state
board of health of |diphtheria anti
toxin to patients unable to pay the
high price demanded by the trust
for the specific. The original bill
was killed in this body and immedi-
ately d storm of Indignation was
threatened all owe the state. NO
sooner however. had the first NUT
terings reached the capitol than a
substitute was introduced and at once
advanced to second reading.
Under this latest bill the sum of
five thousand dollars is appropriated
to supply free of charge antitoXin TO
such INDECENT patients as are certified
by attendant physicians to be in need
of it. The specific is to be obtained
from a "reputable manufacturer or
manufacturers, and this of course
includes concerns in the trust, which
without provision to the contrary
contained in the measure can charge
the state any price ii chooses. How
ever, this is secondary consideration.
The bill should and probably will be
come a law and may eventually lead
TO Legislation that as originally in
tended. will enable the board of
health to establish its own laboratory
for the production Of the serum.
no law that passes this session of
the legislature, comparatively limited
as is its scope. will prove more ben
efcial. 1t will be the means of say
ing life and in SO doing the money il
takes from the state treasury will be
humanely and justly expended.

 The city of Crefeld has completed a contract with this company to have an electric current delivered supplying all Its needs at price much lower than the city could supply 1t and the city officials are rejoicing that the occasion presented itself to them at such an op- perfume time. The distance from the electric light plant to Crefeld-Linn and the harbor territory is about ten miles, but the contract with the city is made to cover a large additional district, which is to get electric current cheaper than the plants in operation can make 1t under the old system.

LEGS OF UNEQUAL STRENGTH.

Chicken Freaks that Can't Scratch
 in Gardens Devised by Farmer.
 Charles Spencer, of Newton, Sussex County, New Jersey, had been troubled greatly by his neighbours chickens scratching in his garden, so he set to work some time ago to devise a hen that could not scratch or wander away from its own yard, says the New York World. After many discouragements he claims to have produced number of hens with one leg shorter than the other by the crossing of Plymouth Rocks and bantams.
 These hens, he asserts, have right leg six inches long and a left leg but four inches They are unable to wander any distance from the coop owing to their inability to take steps of the same length with both legs. Instead, they walk around in circle.
 Another Sussex County man says a Plymouth Rock hen has just hatched out a brood of eleven chickens which, instead of walking like ordinary chick ems, hop like sparrows. He explains this peculiarly by the fact that during the period of incubation the mother hen was viciously attacked by flock of sparrows.
 Aside from furnishing q remarkable example of parental influence, the caso of the hopping chickens is calculated to furnish a strong argument for those who contend that the hen that hatches the egg, and not the one that lays 1t, Is the real mother of the ohicken.
 There are 100000 children in Russia between the ages of 6 and IA receiving absolutely no education.

mans birth the family established her age.
 Betsy was occasionally permitted to indulge her motherly instincts, upon which occasions she invariably brought into the world from q dozen to fifteen of the finest chicks that ever scratch. ed gravel.
 When not engaged in motherly duties Betsy sometimes worked overtime and laid two eggs day.
 As year after year passed without any appreciable difference In Betsy's strenuousity, she became the wonder of the country and the barnyard jewel of the Bradley family.
 It Is estimated that during that time this industrious hen has laid 4,750 eggs and matched 570 chickens.
 Over her grave Mir. Bradley will erect headstone inscribed as follows
 Here lies laying Betsy. Born in 1883; died In 1905. She did many a fowl deed for those she loved. Peace to her bones-let them lay. May she lay again some other day"
 If the 4,750 eggs that Betsy laid dur. ing her nineteen years of faithful serv. Ice were sold in the market at their present price they would realize $9O8.5O. If her 570 chickens brought an average price of 30 cents they would represent a market value of $171.
 On this basis Betsy earned $1,O7o.5O for her owner before she retired from active duty and commenced to take life easy.-New York Herald

POWER FROM COKE GASES.
German City Contracts for Electric
 Current at a Low Rate.

German City Contracts for Electric
 Current nt a Low Rate.
 One of the problems confronting the city officials of Crefeld, Germany, In providing necessary Improvements in the new harbor territory and the sub- urb Crefeld-Linn, adjoining, was the problem of furnishing these places with cheap electric light and power. The direct current generated at the city power house could not be utilized on account of the distance; hence the city would be compelled either to build and equip new power house or to set up an alternating current machine and conduct the current to the place of consumption, about five miles away.
 The cost to the city would be great to adopt either plan. The consump- tion of current for the first few years would be small, and in order to se- cure as little loss as possible from this condition the city closed a contract with the railway directors to furnish the yards and depots of several stations along the lines of the road with light and power for ten years.
 One of the coal mine companies op. erating in the district manufactures coke and has almost completed the erection of large electric power plant to deliver electric current to cities and villages within reach. This company purposes to utilize the hot gases formed in the manufacture of coke to drive
