man, the Blind Pianist OF Eldora,
la, to Institution Estab-
lished in Roumania.

Eldora, Ia.-Queen Elizabeth, who
reigns over 5,000,0 900 loyal subjects in
far away Roumania, and who does
much literary work under the nom de
plume of Carmen Sylvia" has recent
ly established a cosmopolitan blind
colony known as the City of Light in
Bucharest, Roumania. She has writ
ten to a banker in Eldora about her
plans, and has invited Samuel Bow
man, blind pianist of Eldora, to come
to Bucharest and become member
of her colony. She has taken a great
liking to Mr.. Bowman, and he is con-
sidering seriously the advisability of
becoming one of the first American
wards at the City of Light.
Horace G. Knowles, the American
minister of Bucharest, the capital, has
taken a deep interest in the work of
her majesty, and writes to the Eldora
banker with the queens letter. He
says in part:
1.-The fundamental principle of her
majesty's noble work is to make the
blind feel that they are not merely
dependents and objects of charity.
They are to have their own world,
where they will be not only happy, but
useful and self-sustaining. Already
have seen enough to enable me to
testify that what seems to the unac-
quainted merely a dream, can, by pa
thence, generosity, intelligence and
Christian charity, be made reality.
All of these qualities and more are
possessed by the good and gifted wo-
man who needs no crown to make her
a queen"
Queen Elizabeth in her own writing
says the City of Light is called Vatra
Luminosa, at Bucharest Already there
are 80 members of the colony, with
ten languages, seven confessions of
faith and IL trades. She says that one
man, although blind, has invented a
new printing machine, and an English
woman, blind seven years, attends to
the correspondence.

letter to her Eldora bablker friend:

thickness of a window glass, but then it
showed that the water was cold and was
ready to freeze into thicker ice had ice

about twenty-four hours. The summer

has made the minds of the steamboat
people easy, for they say the rays of the
sun yesterday had power enough in them
to warm the river water several degrees
and several days of real cold weather.

enough to interfere with navigation on
the river to any extent. AS general
thing heavy ice docs not form on the
uarv, but thick ice in December and even
liz November is by no means unknown.
The dredging machines which during
the summer months were employed in
digging sand and gravel in Piscataway
creek for this market have moved out
of the creek and are now at work upon
the sand bars off Monkeys point, at the
lower side of the creek mouth. The big
machine of the Smoot Company of this
city was the last machine to come out of
Piscataway and she was brought out by
the tugs last week. The supply of sand

The New King

STOCKHOLM, December 9.-King Oscar
died at 9:15 O'Clock yesterday morning
He had been unconscious from 3 o'clock
Saturday afternoon. at which time he
spoke his last words, thanking his sur
geon for relieving his pain.
He also for a brief time recognized
Queen Sophia and Princess Ingebors, one
of his daughters-in-law. to whom he said
Thanks for some trifiing service before
he relapsed into coma.
After this his strength steadily lessened.
The members of his family and the court
officials assembled at o'clock in the room
in which the king lay dying and remained
until the end. Queen Sophia sat by the
bedside and he'd her dying husband S
hand.
Aged Queen by His Side.
Shortly before he died the aged queen,
who for more than half century had
been King Oscars companion and help
mate. knelt by his bedside and offered a
short. touching prayer.
The council of state was summoned at
l O'Clock yesterday afternoon and the
new king took the oath. He announced
that he would take the title of Gustave
V. and declared that his motto would be
with the people for the fatherland."
Prince Gustave Adolf, the new crown
prince. the other princes and the state
officials took teh oath of fealty.
Proclamation by the New King.
King Gustave later issued a proclama-
ton to the people, in which, after laudine
King Oscar and noting Sweden's prog
ress under his reign, he said: Our aim
will always be to be united with our peo-
pie in the common work of the father
land, recognizing fully that to this end
we must look to the continuous co-opera-
ton of all classes"
The whole country is bowed with grief
for King Oscar was something more than
a ruler of his people and had endeared
himself to them as an intimate and per-
| sonal friend. When the flag on the pal
ace was dipped to half-maSt there was
moan of anguish from the assembled null.
titude, and many of them cried "Oul
dear old king is dead.'
Deathbed Scenes.
The last hours of the expiring monarch
were passed in Inconsistencies, and ur
to the end he gave no sign of recognizing
those about him. The queen was grief
stricken because he could not bid he,
farewell. All through Saturday the kins
had remained in a comatose condition. Al
times there were faint signs of conscious
perceptions as the attending physicians
brought some temporary relief to the pa
tient sufferer.
Believing that death would not occur I'm.
til morning, the members of the roya
family and the cabinet ministers with.
drew, and the physicians left their pa.
