Lonaer on Throne Than Father

King Frederick of Denmark, pre-,
sents the curious spectacle of a father
who has become king at later date
than his own son. When King Haakon
of Norway was lately at Copenhagen
King Frederick is said to have asked
him; How do you like being king?'
Il will rather ask YOU replied Haak

The number of legionnaires in this
country has so increased of late years
that the fact has justified Prof James
Howard Gore, of George Washington
university in preparing and publish
ing a directory of all who have re-
ceived this honor.
The French statutes restrict the
number of officers of the Legion
of Honor to 1000, of commanders to
! 1000, of grand officers to 200, and Of
holders of the grand cross TO so. Gen.
Chaffee has received probably the
| highest honor in the Legion of Honor
in this country. Archbishop Ireland.
Thomas A. Edison, Gen. o. o. How
ard, Prof. George F. Barker and Perry
Belmont wear the cross of. a command
er. Prof. Agassiz, Prof. Alexander
Graham Bell, Andrew D. White, Prof,
Simon Newcomb, James Hazen Hyde,
M. E. Stone and Prof, Gore hold the
cross of officer.
Among women in this country who
have had the distinction of wearing
the cross of the Legion of Honor is
Mrs. Potter Palmer, of Chicago, and
Mrs. Daniel Manning, of Albany, who
were thus honored for their services
in connection with the exposition of
1900.
| Among other orders given to Ameri-
cans there are numerous decorations,
such as the Order of Leopold, the
Osmanieh and Medji6ieh OF Turkey,
the order Of the Prussian Crown, the
Red Eagle of Germany, the order of
| st. Stanislaus of Russia, the White
Elephant of Siam, the order of Dan
nebrog of Denmark, and many similar
decorations.
Probably F. j. v. Skiff, of the Field
museum, of Chicago, has as many dec
orations as any one man in this coun-
try He has made a collection, it
might be said They all came for his
services at expositions Mr. Skiff is
an officer of the Legion of Honor for
work connected with the Paris expo
! sition of 1900 He has the order of
Leopold, the order of Civil Merit of
Bulgaria, has the second class order
of the Double Dragon of China, the
order of the Sacred Treasure of Japan,
the order of Orange and Nassau of
Holland, the order of the Sun and the
Lion of Persia, the order of ST. James
of Portugal, and the Red Eagle of Ger
many.
Prof. Herman V. Hilprecht has nu-
merous orders for his researches in
ancient history. He wears the Cross
| of Albert, the Bear of Germany, the
Cross of Dannebrog of Denmark, for
his cuneiform investigations.
Prof Simon Newcomb received last
year the German Order pour lie Mer-
ite. This is distinctly great honor,
as there are but 40 members of the
order, and a new member is chosen
by the survivors whenever death
makes a vacancy. The decoration is
given by the German emperor. Con
gress authorized Prof. Newcomb, who
is a retired attache of the naval OBJ
seryatory, to accept the decoration.
One of the rarest decorations that
have ever been rendered an Ameri.
can is the Star of Ethiopia, given by
King Menelek to Robert P. Skinner
who was intrusted with the delicate
mission of opening up treaty relations
with Abyssinia 1t is a large gold
medal surmounted by a gold star with

A smaller but quite valuable gold dec

instant, / unhesitatingly advise all

winter, unless the consumers lay in
their Coal supply as suggested.

agreed that ii Will prove of immeasur-
able benefit to the territory. n who
Is not ready to help us with his time
and his money to make il a success.
This trip into southern New Mexico
has encouraged me greatly. Every

politics and personal matters and
everything else must be laid aside in
connection with this congress except
the one aim to make il the greatest
congress of them all. If we do this.
and ! am now sure that we viii. New
