more than a ruler OF his people and had
endeared himself to them as an init
mate and personal friend. When the
flag on the palace was dipped to half
mast there was a moan of anguish
from the assembled multitude and
many Of them cried "our dear old king
is dead"
The succession to the throne Of Swe-
den now passes to Oscar Gustaye Adolf
phe. Duke Of Vermland. We Oldest son
of the late king. At a meeting of the
council of state the new king took the
bath Of allegiance under the title Of
Gustave V, and adopted the motto
with the people for the fatherland."
The princes then took the oath of allie
glance and the new monarch accepted
the homage Of the state officials.
The last hours of the expiring mon
arch were passed in Inconsistencies
ana up to the end he gave no sign Of
recognizing those about him. The
queen was grief stricken because he
could not bid her farewell. At times
there were faint signs of conscious per-
ceptions as the attending physicians
brought some temporary relief to the
patient sufferer.
In the palace court yard in the dim
cold grey mist Of the morning stood a
crowd Of school boys. King Oscars
most devoted friends. Here they had
stood for hours, blue and shivering,
watching the palace flag STAFF. There,
also. gathered many old men and wo-
men in rags, such as the king had al
ways stopped to comfort with mild
words and generous aims when he met
them in the parks or streets, their
faces tear-stained because their below
ed king and benefactor was dying. Sud
denly the flag dropped to half mast
and a wall Of misery and SORROW arose.
The old folks clasped their hands and
prayed and wept aloud. and the school
boys lamentations were pitiful to hear.

Philadelphia Real Estate Man Found
Dead Under Strange Circumstances.
Philadelphia, Dec. George Hirsh-
field, real estate dealer, aged So
years, was found dead in the base
ment of his Offices under mysterious
circumstances. which the police are
investigating. Anna Brockmeier, from
whom he rented his Offices, found the
door of his suite bolted when she re-
turned TO the house. On the door was
\ notice: "Ofice closed on account Of
the illness Of Mr.. Hirshfield." When
the police broke in they found Hirsh-
fields body on the floor.
Mrs. Brockmeier told the police that
Hirshfield had been respondent for
several months and that he had told
her that he had Incorporated the
money secured on mortgages for
clients. He said he had been called
to an accounting and must make good
or face imprisonment II was believed
the man had taken poison, but accord
ing to the coroner an autopsy did not
show traces of poison in the body, and
an analysis will be made OF the Wis
cera. A. Haggeman, for many years
friend of the dead man, declares that
the note found on the Office door was
not written by Hirshfeld. The mans
watch and his diamond ring were
missing when the body was found.
They may be in the Office safe. which
has not been opened, because the po-
lice have not been able to find the
dead mans clerk.

vious to 1905 king of Sweden and
Norway. was born January 81. 1929.
He was the third son of King Oscar
and of Queen Josephine. daughter OF
Prince Eugene of Leuchtenberg, and
a grandson of Marshal Bernadotte.
Oscar II succeeded to the throne at
the death of his brother. King Carl-XV
on September is, 1872. He was mar
ried June 6, 1857, to Queen Sophia,
born July 9, 1886, daughter Of the late
Duke William of Nassau. Four chill
dren survive King Oscar.
Crown Prince Gustaye was born
June 16, 1853. and married Princess
Margaret. Victoria, of Connaught, on
June Is. 1905.
In the years 1892 and 1898 the late
King Oscar steadfastly opposed the
propositions Of the Norwegian parlia
ment for a separate consular service
which led to Norway. October 26, 1905
declaring the union Of Sweden and
Norway dissolved. The throne OF Nor
way was offered to a prince OF the
reigning house of Sweden. but was de
clined by King Oscar. and after an ap
peal to the Norwegian people, Prince
Charles. of Denmark, was elected king
OF Norway by the Norwegian parlia
ment November Is, 1905.
An event of international import
ance in the life Of King Oscar was his
arbitration Of the Samoan claims In
1902. when he adjudged the American
and British governments to be respon'
sible for the fighting in the Samoan
Islands in 1899.
King Oscar was called the ablesi
ruler of the 10th century and the most
democratic king that ever lived. lie
never made any attempt to conceal
the humble origin OF his family. and
whenever he travelled to the south OF
France he made il point to visit the
little house at Pau. where his grand
father was born. A tablet over the
door of the little one-storied house
bears this inscription: The peasant
Charles Bernadotte. who subsequently
rose TO be field marshal of France and
ultimately King Charles XIV OF Swe
den and Norway, was born in this cot
tage in 1868"
Gustave. the new ruler Of Sweden
was born in the castle OF Drottning
holm. Immediately after his birth he
was made Duke of Vermland. He pur
sued his studies from 1867 TO 1878 al
Upsala. In 1879 he travelled abroad
visiting almost all the countries OF
Europe. In 1889 he returned a second
time to the university at Upsala- He
entered the army in 1875 and In 1897
he was given the rank of general lieu
tenant. In 1896 he served as inspector
of the military schools, and in 1898 ne
was made a full general.

THERE'S a well-founded rumor that
the State OF West Virginia has, I'M
officially, at present, indicated her
willingness to settle without further
Intervention OF the courts the anti
bellum debt she owes Virginia. II
this be true, and it is highly prob
able, because there has been little
doubt that the case was lost to West
Virginia ever since the cause was re-
ferred by the court to a commits
sioner to ascertain and report the
amount of alleged indebtedness, Vir-
ginia can well afford to meet West
Virginia in fair spirit OF compro-
mise. It regretable, ofcourse, that it
was ever necessary to bring suit to
enforce the payment OF debt so OBJ
viously due by one Stateto another,
but in spite OF this Virginia can, if
legal proceedings are stopped and
the matter settled withou5 further
controversy or cost, afford to be
lenient and generous, and there is
little doubt that she will be. 1t is
unfortunate that any sovereign
State should permit itself to be sued
upon claim manifestly just, as it
unquestionably reflects upon the
credit of such State. West Virginia
made a mistake in permitting the
suit to be brought, but it will be
something at least to her credit il
she settles the matter now without
allowing the suit to progress to-
that point where she will be forced
