The German Empress has the same
rule regarding gowns worn on state
and other important occasions as
Queen Alexandra, and they are never
seen again in the same form.
Queen Amelie OF Portugal has long
been known as one Of the best-dressed
Queens Ia Europe. She seldom is seen
in any gown more than once. and is
very generous in her disposal of old
clothes among the less affuent ladies
OF her court. The Queen Of italy, on
the other hand, is noted for the ex-
IRENE plainness Of her dress. She has
one extravaganza, however. She never
wears a pair of evening shoes more
than once. In this respect she is like

Balkan imbroglio, coupled with our

interest to the quaint form of induct-

Of Servia have.

nothing IS too good for him.
But to the coronation of Peter,
the present King. Seldom was one
so to be apprehended.
Placed on the throne by a series
Of regicides that set the world aghast
al their cruelty, Peter came in with
half the nation against him. ReEi-
cides and their friends had replaced
the favoriteS of the late King, and
officers of the old regime, minus
positions, had nothing else left them
to DO but plot
There were inceSSant rumOS that
Peter would not be allowed to live
TO be crowned. When then, on the
way to church the standard bearer,
for a moment left the royal banner
drop, it was considered a bad omen
in the eyes of the people.
The terrific weather, black skies,
cold winds, "Daga's tears, as folks
called the drizzle, seemed to forecast
Ill fortune, too.
Folk crowded into the Metropoli-

mise for seelief for Some of
Mortgage Tax Money.
There was brief session yesterday Of
the State Board of Compromise to hear
an inquiry from the American Locomo-
tive Company of New York, concern
ing the payment OF privilege tax fees
on a loan agreement executed to that
corporation by the Alabama Great
Southern Railroad in the sum of $685.
900.
The Board, consisting Of the Gov
ernor, the Attorney-Gensral and the
State Auditor, granted the request OF
the American Locomotive Company for
a compromise in this case as a portion
OF the property mortgaged lies and is
operated outside the State of Alabama
and in equity should not be represented
in the loan agreement as. far as 1t is
subject to taxation. The compromise
calls for the payment of only a tax fee
of $2O5.51.
Last year the Alabama Great South =
ern Railroad bought thirteen locomo-
tives from the petitioner, paying down
all cash except S165.000 and a note for
a smaller amount which has since been
paid. and the purchaser executed an
agreement for paying, of the remainder
of the purchase price. Under an act
of the revenue code. approved March 3,
1907, this sort of instrument Is tax
able. The State Board of Compromise
authorized the Probate Judge to re-
cord the mortgage securing the agree
ment for a fee of $205.51, which is less
than the tax on the whole face of the
instrument, the compromise hanging
on the point that only 295.74 miles of
the Alabama Great Southern Railroads
line lies within the State, while some
of the engines purchased are operated
outside the State
