KING OSCAR IS DEAD.
Aged Ruler Of Sweden Expires in
Palace at Stockholm.
THE END CAME PEACEFULLY
Whole Country Bowed Down With
Grief Over the Death Of the
Beloved Monarch.

Stockholm, Dec Oscar H., king
of Sweden, is dead The death of
the venerable monarch occurred in the
royal apartment of the palace, where,
surrounded by the members of his
family, including the aged queen, So
phia, and the crown prince, Oscar
Gustave, and high ministers of state,
the inevitable end had been awaited,
while outside the palace great crowds
stood with bowed heads and fearful
eyes long after the announcement
came of the death of their we'll loved
sovereign.
The whole country rs bowed with
grief, for King Oscar was something
more than a ruler of his people and
had endeaTed himself to them as an
intimate and personal friend When
the flag on the palace was dipped to
half mast there was moan of anguish
from the assembled multitude and
many of them cried "our dear old
king is dead
The following official bulletin was
posted after the kings death.
The strength of the king continued
to decrease throughout the night and

CHICAGO AN EASY WINNER
Republican National Convention
to Meet There June is.

Washington, Dec. 7-Chicago, June
16. The former is the place and the
latter the time at which the Repub-
lican national convention for 1908 will
be held. Both points were decided by
the Republican national committee in
conference at the Shoreham hotel in
this city. The meeting occupied near
ly four hours and in that time the
claims of Chicago, Kansas City and
Denver for the convention location
were all pointedly presented by advo-
Gates of the various places. The vote
stood 81 for Chicago, Is for Kansas
City and 4 for Denver, after which the
choice of Chicago was declared to be
by reclamation. The result was pleas
antly received by all the members Of
the committee and by the Kansas City
and Denver boomers, of whom there
were sixty or seventy present, and all
announced themselves as satisfied.
Kansas City declared through her dele
CATION however, that she would "come
back after it again in 1912 and would
{ be sure to get it at that time The
selection Of the date was compro-
mise between the first of June and the
last Of June, all being satisfied on that
point also. The controversy over the
method of selecting delegates to the
convention for the states which have
primary laws was also compromised
and the latter placed in the hands Of
the state and district committees.

LOOKING FOR AVAILABLE SITE

John Farson, Chicago Millionaire, Will
Try to Interest Five Hundred Fami-
lies at 8eginning-To Be No Bar, Bill
lard or Card Room.
An Adam and Eve club an organ
Nation planned to solve the perplexing
questions of club life and unite hus-
band and wife and children under one
roof in the pursuit of their social pleas
ures, is the venture upon which John
Farson. an Oak Park banker-million
aire. and his wife are now working,
says a Chicago correspondent of the
st. Louis Post-Dispatch
Mr.. Farson is seeking an available
site on Club row. on Michigan ave-
nue., and when this is procured the
latest idea Of one of Chicago's leading
eccentrics will be brought to fruition.
Mr.. and Mrs. Farson left for New
York the other night. The Parsons ex-
pect to create considerable interest in
the project in the east
The Adam and Eve club would be
counterpart of all well constructed
and properly organized mems and wo-
mems clubs, with some important ex-
ceptions. There would be no billiard
room, no bar and no card rooms The
entire family may adjourn to the new
club after the theater to meet friends,
enjoy an after theater supper or lounge
about. II they desire they may spend
the night there, for suits will be pro-
vided for such contingencies.
In discussing his idea Mr.. Farson
called attention to the fact that the
business of the husband often inter-
feres with the pleasures of himself
and wife. In the Adam and Eve
club both can enjoy pastimes with
their friends. 1t is his plan to inter-
est 500 or more families in the prof.
ect.
1.-THE central idea," declared Mr. Far
son, lis to form new manner of club
life where the pleasures shall be al
ways those in which whole families
may mingle as against one sex amuse-
ments, which have tended recently to
divide families, such as the whist play
er (the wife) and billiard or poker
player (the husband). Each can find
more pleasure, l am sure, by stepping
across the very short and safe bridge
which brings them both to common
ground of amusement, and this is such
q thing as the Adam and Eve club
could bring about

BANK CLOSES ITS DOORS.
Old Financial Institution at Pittsburq
in Trouble.

i : 4 s5z
Pittsburg,s Dec THE Fort Pitt
National bank, one of the older fnan-
cial institutions of this CITY,, has
failed to open for business. A notice
posted on the door was signed by
Bank Examiner John B. Cunningham
and stated that the bank had been
closed by order of the comptroller Of
the currency
The directors later issued state
ment to the effect that a suspension
of business was forced by the clear
ing house committee demanding that
the bank Immediately raise a large
amount of cash, which under existing
financial conditions it could not do
without great sacrifice.
The directors declare in unqualified
terms that the institution is solvent,
that depositors will be paid in full, and
that the embarrassment is wholly due
to the present stringent conditions in
the financial world.
