kinu Worked for Livinq.

London, Feb. 26.-Among the remin.
iscences anent the death of King
Christian of Denmark recalled by the
friends of the royal family, is the fact
that after his marriage with Princess
Louise for 20 years before he assembled
the throne he had to fight against
privatiOns. He had to give lessons
in drawing.
The princess brought up her daugh-
ters with simplicity which would
have bettted country farm, and yet
she never lost sight of the fact that
opportunity might give them wider
Inheritance and that they must be
mentally fitted for any position that
fortune might bring to them.
Unable to command the resources
of a dressmaker, her three daughters
used to make their own frOcks. trim
their own bonnets. and learned to un
derstand that dignity does not consist
in the things that man finds to do,
bur rather in the innate self-respect
which can be the heritage of all. And
it is curious to note that although the
daughters of the Danish house have at
tanned to some of the highest posi-
tons to which a mortal can be called,
they always look back upon those
happy days in the old home as among
those memories which bring not only
gladness but thanksgiving.

DO you want to say anything?" ask
ed Deputy Sheriff Peters.
Yes" said Hoch.
Rev. Burkland was still reciting the
prayer and Jailer Whitman mOtfoned
with his hand to silence him. The
clergyman, not noticing, continued
with the prayer. and Mr.. Whitman
stepped to the edge of the scaffold and
asked him to desist for a moment. AS
soon as the voice of the clergyman
had ceased, Hoch spoke up in clear,
strong tones and with pronounced
German accent, saying:
Father, forgive them. they know
not what they do. l must die an in
nocent man. Goodbye"
Just as he had uttered these words
the drop fell.
DR.. Mcnamara, the county physi-
clan. was at Hoch's side the instant
he fell and declared that death had
been instantaneous, the neck having
been broken.

AMERICANS HONORED.
But Cannot Accept Decorations Ur
less CONGRESS Consents.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Congress is
being besieged by government officers
to grant authority for them to accept
decorations and gifts from foreign
states. There are 20 persons who have
been thus hOnOred, but they cannot
accept bits of ribbon or a valuable
present offered until congress gives
its consent.
This is in accordance with a provis-
ion of the constitution which forbids
an official of the United States to &C
cept gift of any kind whatsoever
from foreign ruler without specific
permission of congress.
Since Senator Cullom has been
chairman of the foreign relations com.
mittee, few bills authorizing the ac-
ceptance of decoration or gift have
passed the two houses. Not that the
senator personally is opposed to Amer
leans receiving foreign honOrs, but ne
feels, to quote his own words that
congress should not allow an official
to accept a decoration merely because
he has been the lackey of any high
dignitary who CHANGED to visit the
United States" If the officer had
done real service to the country, with
out injuring mis- own, then. in the opin-
ion of Senator Cullom, he should be
authorized to accept the souvenir he is
offered.
The country which has been the
most lavish in comforting decorations
upon Americans in France. Appar-
emily an American officer cannot put
foot upon French soil without having
the Legion of Honor thrust upon MIN.
China is a close second to France
in comforting decorations upon Amer.

THE ROBERTS COMPANY.
Large Audience Witnesses Perform
ance at Opera House.

Large Audience Witnesses Perform.
ance at Opera House.
The Roberts Dramatic company op
ened a weeks engagement at Culver's
last night, playing to packed house.
The organization is an unusually
strong and well balanced one. and
while "An Arkansas Romance" GER
tainly does not afford the members
scope for displaying their full ability,
it was we'll presented and enthusiast
tically received. The first act is
crude. but in the second the story be-
gins to unfold and it becomes appar.
ent that the play is really selected to
give the wonderful child actress, June
Roberts, opportunity to shine, and
shine she certainly does. Rilla Willard
is an emotional actress of great pow
er. Her equal has never been seen
here. This was made quite clear, al
though her part last night is not one
that enabled her to do anything like
full justice to herself w. II. Roberts
is easy. graceful and finished as ever.
Mr.. Roberts is sterling actor and a
local favorite from his work in the
Sutton company last season. Mr.
Close, as the old man, was quite eff
fective in very minor part, and the
others all pleased the audience. The
best of them is F. R. Dare, who is a
finished reader as well as painstak-
ing worker. The comedy element was
supplied by Edward Harrington, who
gave a clever impersonation of the
hustling American theatrical manager.
Mr. Montgomery, as Philip Devon.
while rather too lachrymOse, was eff
fective. Edyth Oglesby was accepta-
BILE as Twister and between acts did
a vaudeville act that made great hit
with the audience.
The work of little June Roberts
was really wonderful. The child has
great natural talent and gave her lines
like veteran.
Tonight the company will present
new play of the Golden West in the
days of 40. In his announcement
Mr. Roberts did not enighten the au
dience as to the name of it. TOmOr-
row night Uncle Toms Cabin will be
given-minus the two Marks, the
cakes of ice. the bloOdhounds and the
large aggregation of jackasses grated
onto the piece Of late years, for all of
which we are duly thankful.
Thursday night the company will
present the Siege of the Alamo, dra-
ma of early Texas.
Friday night the COnvicts Daughter
Or some equally strong melOdrama
will be presented.
Saturday afternoon Uncle Toms
Cabin will be repeated, and Saturday
night the engagement will close with
Turned Up, Or some other comedy a
final choice of the bill not having been
made as yet.

meagre wardrobe; yet their desire was
equally strong to coneiliate the stern sex.

inside in Latin. The design represents
Christ's passion. a cross rope, ladder. leaf
of hyssop, spears &c. The Duke OF Ham
ilton, being In great haste, was married
to his bride with curtain ring. The tiniest
wedding ring ever used was that handed
by Cardinal Wolsey upon the marriage of
Henry Wills daughter Mary. aged two
to the Dauphin OF France, aged eight
months. The Doge of Venice had curl
Gus use for the ring. Every Ascension Day
he stood on the deck OF the ship Becantur
and cast ring into the sea to show that
as wife is subject to her husband &c
the Adriat!c was subject TO the Venetian
Republic.
Rings have great Importance in various
religions. The Pope has two rings which
descend from one Pope to another. One

Is for state occasions, being a beautiful
cameo OF the head of Christ. The Greek
Church was the hrst to decree the use OF
the ring on the third finger of the right

this was changed to the nnger where II Is

ject of profitable employment. This is the
ordinary phase of money getting. as clos
ing the ear and pocket to applications Tor
aid Is that OF money saving. Longworth
has become a rich man on q different prin-
ciple. He appears to have started upon
the calculation that II he could put any
individual In the way Of making a dollar
for Longworth and q dollar for himself
at the same time. by aiding him with
ground for a lot, or In building him a
house on it-and II, moreover. he could
multiply cases of the kind by hundreds or
perhaps thousands, he could promote MS
own interests Just in the Jarne measure as
he was advancing others. AT the same
time he could not be unconscious that
while their half was subdivided into small
possessions owned by a thousand or more
individuals. his half was a vast, bound
less aggregate, since 1t was the property
of one man alone. The event has done
justice to his sagacity Hundreds, If not
thousands, In and adjacent to Cincinnati
now own houses and lots and many have
become wealthy who would In all proba-
bility have lived and died tenants under
a different state of case Had not Mr..
Longworth adopted this course he would
have occupied that relation to society
which many wealthy men now sustain
to wit, that OF getting all they can and
keeping all they get. There are men, even
In Cincinnati, who do not deserve the very
ground which forms their resting place.

Every man of extensive means who

which that disinterested Individual, the
public, thinks he ought to contribute, Is,

would be impossible for Nicholas Long
worth to form an ception to this rule,
since II is one OF the very few general
rules that have no exceptions. II Mr.
Uongworth were TO contribute to every
application made here 1t would leave him
as poor a man as the most necessItous
applicant at his door. Mr.. Longworth has
his own views and his own ways as re-
CARDS relief of and assistance to the ne
cessitous. That he is governed by con
scientious motives no one ought to doubt
