Brussels that LeopoiIs morganatio marriage with the Baroness Vaughn was regularized by religious cere- mony. confirms the belief long enter tained here that the king has taken every precaution to insure an inheri- tance to the baroness and her son, who was born early in 1908.
 After the baroness had divorced her husband five years ago the king be- came infatuated with her and install ed her In a chateau on which he spent fabulous sums. It was there that the baby was born. and the king is ro- ported to have bestowed upon him the title of Duke of Tervuerem" the name of a domain of Belgium.

Shock m Lenilon.,

London, Dec. 1T.-Alth0ugh in view of his advanced aged. there was little expectation of ultimate recovery, the news of King Leopold's death came as a shock in its unexpectedness, the lat est reports from Brussels having had a hopeful account of possible recovery. This possibility was strongly reflected ou the stock exchange yesterday in the firmness of American and South African securities. in which, 1t is be- lieved, Leopold had large holdings.
 Considerable comment had been aroused here by the laconic character of the official bulletins and the general air of secrecy which had been main tained on the technical side regarding the king's illness.
 No details were given out by the at- tending physicians which would en- able . medical man, much less e lay man to form any opinion of the real nature of the maiady.
 King Edward, through the legation at Brussels, had made daily inquiries regarding King L.eopold's condition and the reports which he received were quite as favorable as those given out to the public.
 It is recalled that the report that the king and Baroness Vaughn had been geographically married in 1898 was officialiy denied at the time and speculation is busy whether the alleg- cd marriage was an actual death bed ceremony. a

 The Congo Free State in West Af- rica was recognized and defined by the conference of European powers at Berlin in 1885. It was the successor of the International African AssociH- ton, established by Leopold and or- ganixed by Stanley. In that year, Leopold was constituted as sovereign. By will. dated August 9, 1889, Leopold bequeathed to Belgium the right to annex the Congo State after a period of ten years. The conduct of the government of that State resulted in dispute of worldwide dimensions and demand that concert of Euro pean powers interpose in the alleged interest of humanity. On November 15, 1908, Belgium formally assumed control of tho State and since then ef- forts at reform have been inangurars ed, but not carried out in an entirely satisfactory manner.

PROGRESSIVE NEW SMYRNA
NEW SMYRNA is situated hfteer

NEW SMYRNA is situated fifteen
miles south Of Daytona and is an
ideal spot reached from Daytona by
hard surface road winding through
one OF the most picturesque parts OF
! Florida
With its ancient ruins dating back
TO a time when the history Of man
runneth not, interlaced with wires Of
the modern telegraph and telephone
its miles Of shell streets as hard and
smooth as a floor and over-arched By
hOary forest giants that grew in state
ly grandeur during the lapse of by
gone centuries, New Smyrna Is truly
a place Of romance and rest.
All nature here is very inviting to
the tourist and pleasure-seeker. Here
too is to be found the best fishing and
hunting in the State OF Florida.
The people are thrifty, the bust
ness men erterPrising, and all unite
In extending the welcome hand Of
hospitality TO strangers. There are
FIVE church ediEces for white people
and an equal number for the cOlCred
population; the town has an excellent
high school, a splendid public lib
rary, and up-tO-date business houses.
There are any number Of pretty
homes for the permanent population
which numbers close to 1000. and
some very fine winter residences.
There are good hotels and boarding
houses where You can find acoomC-
datlons 10 meet your requirements.
Adjoining New Smyrna IS as me a
section Of vegetable land as can be
found anywhere. This land has
been divided into small farms which
can be bought At reasonable prices.
Some Of the finest celery grown il
the State is raised on this land All
other vegetables grow in abundance
and here, too, is the home OF the fam
Gus Indian River oranges.

debtedness and the tax levy is low.
A point that no tourist should fail
to visit is the ruins Of the Old Span
ish Mission which stand somber and
alone about one and a quarter miles
southwest Of New Smyrna A good
road leads TO the place and the trip
can be easily made by an automobile.
Silent in the great pine fats by the
margin Of the forest, is this place OF
pilgrimage for the pious; this rem
dezvous for the picnicker. The ruins
are extensive, and while there is no
authentic history Of their origin, it
is presumed that the Mission was
built by the Franciscans IN the days
when the once powerful kingdom Of
Spain first planted its flag upon what
is now American soil. 1t was built
of cOquina, the roof being Of the
same material, cut into thin slabs
and covered with cement plaster.
Extensive gardens surrounded it,
which were enclosed by a stone
wall, portions Of which still remain
Visitors usually come IN parties
merry and curious but the spell OF
the place soon falls upon them and
they separate to sit alone, silent and
meditative, under the arches or be
side the ancient well
