ENA ASKS FOR :
FIRST PARDON
Queen Of Spain Makes
First Request of Alfonso Saves
the Life of LeVera.

MARID, May 2S.-The first notable
act of Princess Ena of Battenberg since
her arrival in Spain to become tht
bride Of King Alfonso XIII. has beer
to induce the king to pardon Fernando
Levera, who was condemned to dealt
after an exciting trial.
The dramatic circumstances under
which pardon was given, as the con
demned man was going to the gallows
attracts widespread attention and fur
Their augments the popularity of Prin-
cess Ena.
Levera was to have been executed IN
the neighboring town of Badajoz, but
the population solicited Princess Ena 5
intercesslon, and she spoke TO the King,
who consulted with his ministers, ana
after u cabinet council the government
resolved to grant the request, as It was
the first petition the princess had made
in Spain. T%hereupon the king issued
q pardon. and Il telegram announcing
this fact reached the prison at BadaJ0z
half an hour before the time set for
the execution. The march to the scat
fold was about to begin when a mes
senger brought word of the pardon.
There were remarkable scenes of re-
ioicing. The t~ownspeople formed a
procession and sang the praises of
their queen to be. The people of
Madrid also highly approve the prin-
cess humane intervention, and the
newspapers comment upon the coming
queens first act as being II of mercy.
Frederick Wallingford Whitridge,
American envoy to the wedding of
King Alfonso and Princess Ena of
Battenberg, and party has arrived
from Paris.
On one of Princess Ena's visits to
Madrid she was permitted to visit the
gorgeous nuptial apartments that have
been prepared in the royal palace and
to try IN the wedding dress made
here.
The wedding dress has attracted
great interest in Spain, as it is truly
a Spanish product in fabric and finish
except for the wonderful Brussels lace
WHICH Has Deeu DTOuSnt W uuOIH lts
1t was a fancy of the king and the
queen mother that the wedding dress
should be made in Spain, and the
Princess Ena graciously fell in with
this patriotic sentiment.
The dress is therefore one of the
special presents from the king and is
d marvel of elegance.
The laces were publicly exhibited be-
fore being put or the dress and excited
the admiration and establishment of the
aristocratic ladies of Madrid. Orange
blossoms are %profusely used with the
silver embroideries and laces for the
corsage and even in dainty clusters
along the train, which is four yards
long.
According to Spanish traditions, the
bride must afterward present this we'd
ding dress to the Virgin de la Paloma,
the popular protectress of maternity.

Important Vacancy Hard
to Fill.

NEW BRUNSWICK, May 2S-The
vacancy on the supreme court bench

on will, it is understood, be filled by
Governor Stokes soon, and naturally
the matter is causing much discus
sion among lawyers. In the meantime
Justice Franklin Fort will sit in that
circuit and it is said that he may be
permanently located there.
Many are of the opinion that Judge
John A. Blair, of the Hudson county
court will be appointed as Justice
Dixon's successor, that is, If Judge
Blair would accept the place, 1t is
not known whether Judge Blair has
an ambition to go on the supreme
bench or not, although there is no
question that his qualifications pre-
eminently fit him for the place.

this day the association will have no
meeting or programme, preferrfng that
the members be at liberty to attend the
regular religious services of the vari-
Gus churches in San Francisco.
1T is the wish Of Hon. Nathan c.
Schaeffer, president of the association,
to convey through your local executive
committee to the pastors Of the vari-
Gus churches of San Francisco the sug-
gestion that they prepare for Sunday,
July 8, sermons and other exercises
bearing on education and its relation
to moral and religious training. Such
an educational Sunday would be in har-
mony with the aims and spirit OF the
National Educational Association, and 1t
is believed would contribute largely to
the emphasis which is placed upon the
Importance and the methods of char
acter building in the work of education.
1T will be the pleasure of the asso-
citation to enter in it's official pro-
gramme and announcements for the
convention notices of such church SER
vices as may be arranged In accordance
with this suggestion.
