 On the death of Queen Victoria. January 22, 1901 Edward succeeded to the throne. The coronation was set for June 26. l902. and all preparations for the magnificent event had been completed when disquieting rumors of the kings i'll health. which had been current for several days. were con hrmed by the postponement of the ceremony It Was announced that the king was suffering from perityphlitis. and on June 24 he underwent an op- eration. After some weeks of the greatest anxiety he recovered. and the coronation took place August g.
 During the long years of his prince hood Edwards public duties consisted solely in the office of representing the royal family at all manner of public events, and he performed these du- ties well. But the deadly monotony of such q life was too much for the vigorous man, and he found relaxa- ton in amusemeuts that frequently gave rise to scandals and that gave the world q wrong impression of his real character. He was especially fond of the theater and among his boon companions for years were ac- tresses and actors. Also he deyel- oped great liking for Paris and often visited that gay capital ineognito
 But all this, as has been said, was only his relaxation, and after coming to the throne his conduct always was so eircumspect that not the most cap tious critic could find any fault with it
 As a diplomat Edward was unexeel led among the monarehs of Europe His influence was always thrown te the side of international peace where compatible with national honor, and his advice and example had a steady ing effect on all Europe. He looked with amused tolerance on the va garies and extravagances of his neph CIV, the emperor of Germany, but oe. casionally that ruler exasperated him

senator from the state of New York The friends of Mir Root say that notb. Ing has happened 10 change the eolonefs opinion of the senator. and that If any man can bring MT. Roose. velt to the belief that MT. Taft k ah. solutely sincere and is doing all that be can along the lines of progressive legislation. that man is Elihu Root.
 Most recent political gossip is to the eHeet that when Colonel Roosevelt comes back he will enter the field against Chauneey NJ Depew for United States senatorial honors in New York state. Republicans. insurgents" and regulars alike. and the Democrats also. say that il MT. Roosevelt should mak. up his mind to be a senator o. tho United States there would be no con. test between him and Mr. Depew worthy ot name. The feeling is that the colonel would sweep everything before him, as least as far as the Re, publieans are concerned, and that bis only fear of defeat would come from Democratic victory in the state. a vic. tory which would elect a Democratic legislature.
 James River Dam Bill.
 Will President Taft veto the James river dam bill?
 On the answer to this question in. tense interest is hanging. The con. seryationists of the country believe that President Taft will see his way clear to forbid the enactment into law of the bill, but the friends of the meas. ure insist that the president, being judicial minded" will find that it is drawn in strict accordance with law, and that he cannot fail consistently to aftix his signature
 Ii the president makes up his mind to sign this bill when it comes before him. he will nullify one of the acts oi Theodore Roosevelt which the friends Of conservation say showed more than anything else the real heartfelt interest of the colonel of Rough Riders in measures 10 safeguard the peoples heritage of natural re. sources.

The prince received a most elabo- rate. broad and carefully planned edu- cation. At first he was under the charge of four private tutors, and sub sequently his education was directed Kingsley. In order to give him a taste ofeollege life, he was sent for by Baron Stockmar and Charles one session to the University of Ed inburgh, for one year to Oxford and for four terms to Cambridge During these years he acquired a wide gen eral knowledge of the arts and sci ences and became quite proficient in modern languages.
 In 1860 the prince made a tour of the United States and Canada and the next year he joined the British army at Curragh camp, Ireland. In 1862 he set out on his travels again, this time visiting Jerusalem and other places of biblical interest. His com. panion on the trip was Dean Stanley of Westminster.
 Edwards public life began in Feb ruary. 1863. when. as heir to the throne, he took his seat in the house of lords On March 10 of the same year he married Princess Alexandra Caroline Mary Charlotte Louise Julia the eldest daughter of King Christian TX. of Denmark. Her beauty. grace and charming manners at once gave

to such an extent that he could mol refrain from giving him some sterr advice. Such admonition was not re ceived by William in a submissive spirit. and once in while there were sensational rumors that the peaceful relations between the two countries were about to be ruptured.
 The development of the kings char acter in his later years was especially gratifying to the nation. In addition to the love of his people. which he had always had. he gained their ad miration and respect. They had the utmost confidence in his good judg. ment as was amply exemplified dur ing the late crisis over the budget. and they were always sure he would do the right thing at the right time.
 To Edward and Alexandra were born six children. The first. P ince Albert. duke of Clarence. died in 1892. aged twenty-eight years. The second. George Frederick Ernest Albert. born on June 3, 1865, succeeds to the throne. The other children are: Princess Louisa Victoria. married to the duke of Fife; Princess Victoria Alexandra; Princess Maude Charlotte. married to Prince Charles of Den. mark, and Prince Alexander John, who died the day after his birth ip 1871.

HANG TWO AT LAKE VILLAGE.
Two Negro Murderers Pay Death
 Penalties From Same Scaffold.

Lake Village.-Scott Turner and Charles Smith, negroes, have paid the death penalty for first degree murder. They were hanged from the same scaffold. Both professed religion and made short statements of their crimes before taking the ia. tai drop. The double hanging was the punishment for two of the most cold-blooded murders committed in this county for years Turner killed his victim, an aged negro, with an ax, almost severing his head from his body. Smith shot his man to death, deliberately, after a quarrel over a debt of S1.40, which Smith claimed was owed to him by Frank Green, a negro.

Parkdale.-Mystery surrounds the murder of William Brown. who was shot through the head and killed and then placed on railroad track. where his body was crushed by a train. At first il was believed that Brown had fallen asleep on the track. The murder theory was not enter. tained until it developed at the cor, oner's inquest that Brown had been shot through the head. The wounds in the back of the head were disccv, cred at the inquest. Several arrests have been made in the case.

Issue Closely Drawn.

This matter in the minds of many re- solves itself into this: "A sharp-drawn issue, with conservation as it's basis, between the resource-saving policies of Theodore Roosevelt ana those of Will liam II. Taft" It has been charged by some of the extreme conservation. ists that President Taft is not wholly in sympathy with their movement. If he signs the James river dam bill they will say that the fact has been proved On the other hand, there are those who say that MT. Roosevelt went to an ex. treme in yetoing the measure and that the grounds which he gave for his veto were outside of the field of reason.
 This particular James Iver is in Missouri, and the purpose of the bill Is to permit certain specific persons to construct dam across it in Stone county and to divert portion Of it's waters through channel into the river again to create electric power. The James river Is a navigable stream, at least it is so held to be in part, and for this reason MT. Roosevelt felt that the federal government had complete jurisdiction, and the fact that congres. sional legislation is necessary for the construction of the dam in large measure proves the contention.
 The bill, which is counterpart of tho vetoed measure, legalizing the dam construction, again has been reported to the senate and it seems likely that it will pass.

Why Roosevelt Vetoed It.

In order that 1t may be understood just how sharp the issue will be made between MT. Taft and MT. Roosevelt. if the former signs the bill. it is worth while to quote from the Roosevelt veto message:
 ITO give away, without conditions, this, one of the greatest of our re. sources, would be an act of folly. If we are guilty of it. our children will be forced to pay an annual return upon a capitalization based upon the highest prices which the traffic will bear. They will find themselves face to face with powerful interests intrenched behind the doctrine of vested rights and strengthened by every defense which money can buy and the ingenu' ity of able corporation lawyers can devise"
 In MT. Roosevelt's veto of the meas ure he spoke of the great combinations formed to control water power for the development of electric cur 4nts, He sa.I that an astonishing consolidation of the interests has taken place within the last five years, and that while the movement is still in its infancy. un' less it is controlled, the history of the oi. industry (meaning the Standard oil operations). will be repeated in the hydro-electric power industry. and that the results would be far more oppres. siye and disastrous for the people.
 It can be readily understood from the tone of MT. Roosevelt's veto why it is that the conservationists and also the friends of the James River dam bill are awaiting with extteme interest the action of President Taft when this bill is brought to him for sanction or for veto.

Unwinding a Human Mummy

MATTHEW NJ. CONEYS deputy surveyor was
A'A IN charge of the American Line pier one night
when the ST. Louis dOCked. looking for a diamond
smuggler who was believed 20 be on board. Standing
near the gangpank, COneys watched every passenger
who came ashore. His man not the ship; but
COneys noticed passenger with the neck of

aided by two canes. A girl gggled and passed

The stranger trying 10 keep up the illusion of
infrmity made effort 20 sit his trunk; but
he could not. His legs refused 20 bend. His face
was pale and two large eyes shifted nervOusly
over sunken checks COneys reasoned that such
face and neck could not consistently surmOunt the
grth OF a Brownie play sentry for the limbs of a
prizefghter.

kindly hands on the man S shoulders and arms
Not yet, not yeti! the man replied testify. I'm
in no hurry.
Coneys said no more. That one rub was enough
10 convince him that the man was either bandaged
in plaster or swathed in lace. He took him back
aboard the steamer, and when divested of clothing
the odd traveller resembled a mummy ready for the
tomb
