Kings Carriage Built in l761
Cost $4,000.

King Edward rode in a carriage
worth $4,000 at the opening of
last Parliament.
The vehicle is one of the most
costly and splendid in the world.
1t was built in 1861, at cost of
$50, 900 at the marriage of George
III, and has ever since carried the
English Kings and Queens on state
occasions.
Steel springs were unknown
when the coach was built, and its
ponderous body is suspended on
leather braces. Its balance is so
perfect that a touch of the finger
is enough, to set the body swinging
on the big creaking straps which
brace the carved and gilded tritons
supporting the drivers seat and
hammer cloth. The length of the
vehicle is twenty-four feet and it is
twelve feet high and weighs 5000
pounds. -" r.. ....s .t.. 49,

Slaves May Get 100000.

Former slaves or their heirs are
to be benefited to the extent of a
million dollars if a bill favorably
reported by the House Committee
on Banking and Currency becomes
a law. The measure, has passed
the Senate.
1t is based upon the claims of
former slaves who lost money
deposited in the Freedman's Bank
which was established in Wash. for
the benefit of negroes soon after
the civil war. The bank failed
and for more than thirty-five years
the negro depositors or their heirs
have been trying to induce the
government to reimburse.

Is BRYAN the Most Available Man?

One of the arguments advanced
against the availability of Judge
Taft as the Republican Presidential
nominee is that the majority of ne
groes would vote against him, due
to his connection with the dis
charge of the negro troops at
Brownsville, and that the change
of their votes might be, probably
would be, sufficient to decide for
whom the electoral vote of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, New
Jersey and New York would be
cast. .5..Q -..
Senator Foraker, the foremost
spo' ;es man of those who are oppos-
ing, Judge Taft, has done every
thing in his power to arouse the
antagonism and excite the animos-
ity of negroes against Judge Taft,
and has been ably seconded by
Governor Bradley and other men
s6f similar views in other States.
