When a real, live King gets out
upon his horse-block to address his
loving subjects, and is greeted with
cat-calls, cuss-words and other mis-
siles the outlook is rather discourag-
ing for His Majesty. That is what
happened to Alphonso, King of
Spain, the other day, and it looks
very much as though he would be
obliged to relinquish his gilded
baton and get off the throne. Rev.
olution is surely on in Spain.

Over in Pittston the other day, an
unruly dog, one of the specie that
has little or no regard for the law
or those who are to see that all
forms of borough governments are
enforced, attacked and bit Chief of
Police Kelly as he was walking
through an alley. The canine made
a jump at the Office and before he
could drive him off, the dog had
sunk his teeth into Mr.. Kelly's leg.
Shortly after the chief secured his
revolver and going after the beast
sent a bullet chashing into his
head. The head of the canine has
been sent to the Pasteur Institute
in New York to be examined. Mr..
Kelley lost no time in having the
wound cauterized.

The worlds aeroplane record for
two men, as to both time and dis
tance, was broken in beautiful
fight at Washington on Tuesday of
last week of 1 hour II minutes 40
seconds, going upward of fifty miles
and at a speed averaging about forty
miles an hour, by Orville Wright at
Fort Myer, with Lieutenant Frank
P. Lahm of the army signal corps,
as passenger. The former record
was made last year by his brother
Wilbur, joint inventor with him of
the machine in which both achieve
ments were performed, at LIE Mans,
France, with Professor Painleve of
the French institute as passenger.
That flight was 1 hour minutes 81
seconds. Wilbur was an eager
spectator of the fight by his brother.
This success was all important to
the Wrights in that it completed the
first of two crucial tests of their ma
chine imposed upon them by the
United States government-the So
called endurance test" which re-
