crowded and the baby is toasted with

An appalling din filled the streets.
Church bells are changing, bands are

The more seriously inclined citizens
attended thanksgiving services in the

Workmen First to Hear News.
The announcement took place at Z
o'clock. The first persons outside the
royal palace to hear the news was a
party OF workmen passing the resi-
dence of the queen on their way to
work. The cheers they raised were
the signal for the general rejoicings.
Flags and bunting that had been held
in readiness were unfurled and the
city took on holiday attire.
Prince Henry at once telegraphed
his mother advising her of the happen

ing and adding that the condition of
the queen was most satisfactory. Her
aids accompanied by trumpeters in
ancient Dutch dress made the rounds
of the city, hating at the principal
squares and other suitable spots to
make after due fanfares, the following
proclamation:
Fellow citizens: With great joy we
announce the news that her majesty,
by the grace of God, has been deliver
ed of princess. The entire popula-
ton Of The Hague shares the feelings
of deep joy of the Dutch people. and
is thankful for the blessing bestowed
upon the royal house and upon the
country. May the happy event
strengthen the bonds uniting the Meth
erlands and the house of Orange Long
live the queen. Long live the prin-
cess Of Orange.
Diplomats Extend Congratulations.
The Belgian minister to the Neither
lands. who is the doyen of the diplo-
matte corps, was the first to sign the
list OF congratulations at the palace.
He was followed in quick succession by
the other diplomatic representatives.
The political significance Of the ad-
vent of the royal baby lies in the fact
that there now is an heir to the throne
of the Netherlands, circumstance
that greatly enhances the cOuntry's
chances for continued independence.
1t is said that the Dutch court in.
quired some time ago whether the kali
ser was willing to stand as godfather
for the baby and that Wilhelm imme-
diately agreed. 1t is not improbable
that the kaiser and kaiserin will at
tend the baptism of the infant princess.

Frank Wieland came down from
Hagerstown this morning to have a
good time in the county seat. He had
secured bottle of whiskey before

when the train reached this city he was

coach, but he was ousted at last. At

remain. The condition of the bones
indicated that they dad been buried
about ten years.
Ideai Place for bad Work.
The spot where the bones were
found would make an ideal place for
the concealment Of the body Of . per-
son foully murdered. The farm Of
Van Doren lies back from the main
road some distance. being reached only
by q private right-of-way.
The swamp where the grewsome find
was made is In q far out-of-the-way
corner OF the farm, and the mystery
surrounding the find is growing deep
er since 1t first came to light. The
oldest Inhabitants of the neighbor-
hood do not remember that the ground
was ever used for burial purposes, and
the supposition is that the seclude
field was made the final resting place
of some man or waman who met an
unnatural death.
Good Melodeama.
One resident of the neighborhood, Ia
talking of the find. remembered that
about ten years ago a man and woman
came to Poling's, remaining q week.
