At almost the first shot the king fell back on the cushions dying, and at the same mo- ment the crown prince was seen to half rise and then sink back in the seat. Queen Amelie jumped up to throw herself toward the crown prince in an apparent effort to save his life bt the cost of her own. but the prince had already received his death wound.

Carmack's Love for the south,

The late Senator Carmack's love for
the South was one of the controlling
passions of his life. To his mind it was
the birthplace Of high aspirations and
loyal truth. When a hostile Congress
was considering recommendation that
he be deprived Of the seat he had won.
and the seat given to Josiah Patterson.
father of the present Governor of Ten.
nessee. Carmack made one of the speeches
that won his fame in Washington. To
the South he paid this tribute:
Il speak. sir, for my native State. for
my native South. 1t is land that has
known sorrow; a land that has broken
the ashen crust and moistened it with her
tears, a land SCARED aud riven by the
plowshare of war. and billowed with the
graves of her dead: but land of legend.
a land of song. land of hallowed and
heroic memories TO that land every
drop of my blood. every fiber of my be-
ing, every pulsation of my heart is conse-
Grated forever. I was born of her womb,
| was nurtured at her breast, and when
my last hour shall come. pray God that
| may be pllowed upon her bosom and
rocked to sleep within her tender and
encircllng nrms. !"
1t won his contest. for the hostile and
Republican House overturned the CON-
mttee's recommendation and permitted
Carmack to retain his seat.

The State Board of Health at its re-
cent meeting took furth acton on the
splitting measure that they adopted some
time ago. That measure provided that
all street and steam car companies should
provide cuspidors on their cars This
was done, but it did not obviate the
trouble. and on Thursday the Board
amended the measure, which now re-
quires that companies operating steam
and electric lines must display in con-
spicuous places, placards W tn the words
mo splitting allowed" printed in large
letters. 1t is also provided that every
conductor and brakeman shall be special
officer to enforce the rule, aud shall have
power to arrest anyone violating it. The
Board believes that this will be more eff
fectIve than having cuspidors. provided
the conductors and others enforce it,

Mr.. Geo. H. Child, of Harpers Ferry
is spoken OF for United States Internal
Revenue Collector for West Virginia
Mr. Child has for some time past been
Republican County Chairman of Jeffer-
son county, has been a faithful political
worker. and from party standpoint
should eminently deserve such recognl
ton as that contemplated above In the
recent election Mr. Child was the Repub-
llcan nominee for the House of Delegates.
and pc led larger vote than either Mr..
Sturgiss or Mr.. Glasscock. attesting his
popularity in his own home county. As
a citizen and business man Mr. Child
stands deservedly highin the esteem of
his fellow countymen of all parties. The
Collectorship of West Virginia could not
be placed in better hands, and we hope
to see atleast this plum awarded to the
Eastern Panhandle, which seems in the
nominations this year to have been ig-
nored by both leading political parties,
