Roosevelt shortened his program here today even more than it had already been abbreviated by King Edwards death. because of hoarseness from which he is suffering. 4 throat specialist vis- tied the palace twice today and rec commended that Roosevelt stay in doors. as the weather is blustery and rainy.
 Col Roosevelt left his apartments only once He took lunch with Charles Graves, the American minis ter at the legation. and there met Sven Hedin. the explorer. and several scientific and literary people. He gave up all speech making for d time.
 The crown prince spent some time in the colonel's room in the forenoon and took tea with him this afternoon. other members of the royal family were present

ONE IN MAR|cOPl CANAL
Death Had Come to An other Dad" Riley, Near the $. F. P. & P. Stock Yards ds-Inquests in Both Cases to Be Concluded

Yesterday was q day informally set apart to the discovery of the dead Two inquests were held by Coroner Johnstone. That is. they were begun. ing. though there is little prospect that further light will be thrown upon either case.
 The first body was found in the MsracoIa canal about mile east of the Indian school at ten o'clock yes terday morning and word was sent to Coroner Johnstonc. who went out with a jury and a wagon from Moore X M'Lellan's. All that could be seen of the dead was foot and leg. swaying with the motion of the water. The body was hidden in pile Of brush which had strangely accumulated on the lower side of wire fence across the canal, the water flowing over the lower wire.
 Contributing to the gruesomeness oi lilc IiihS Was hu5S Siidhe ueau in the water on the other side of the fence. It was with great difficulty that the body was removed for it was in an advanced stage of decomposition. For the same reason identification was out of the question. Though dis colored and horribly swollen, it was the opinion of the coroner and jury that the dead was white man. That opinion was based on heavy growth below the average height. but of his build no estimate could be made on account of the swollen condition of the body The body was clad in a shirt. overaIis and heavy shoes. There was nothing in the pockets.
 It is supposed that the body had been in the water for at least three days and that when it reached the point where it was found there had ton to make it float. It was swept under the fence by the water. part of the clothing catching on a barb of the wire. The obstruction thus formed may account for the accumulation Of brush on the lower side of the fence.
 The man could not have fallen into the canal far above the point where the body was found. for it is only d short distance to the cross-cut and it could not well have been carried into the canal from the cross-cut.
 The other body. later identified as that of Dad" Riley, was found yesterday afternoon just outside of the S F. P. x P. stockyards on the north side Death is supposed to have occurred within the preceding twenty four hours and the body would have been found earlier but for jam of freight cars in that vicinity
 It is quite clear that death had resulted from strangulated hernia. The victim had apparently been trying 10 find relief by the common meth cd of clevatiug the legs, in this case against one of the posts of the fence

whole host of evolutions to. rid her

Mario's foible was smoking. AS
smoking was forbidden at the thea
ter, he would never sign contract
until the clause which made him an
exception to the rule was inserted.
He would have his valet waiting in
the wings with match and a cigar
and would rush off the stage, take
a few whiffs and then return to a
tender love scene The cigars that
he smoked cost him half crown,
and he never more than partially
finished one. Even the street boys
in London knew him, and when
they followed his carriage, cheering,
he would have handful of coins
ready to toss to them.

The Eskimo Doc.

The lot of an Eskimo dog is "a

to earn his living by drawing
sledges. In the next place food is 50
scarce that dog is usually hungry,
often hungry enough to eat his har-
ness, or, indeed, any bits of skin
and leather he can find. To prevent
this the men rub the leather cords
with tar. But in order to live at all
an Eskimo dog has to fight his way.
Whenever pack Of dogs get to-
gether they fight. The weak ones
are driven away or killed. The
strongest and fiercest one, who can
thrash any or all of the others, is
known as the king dog. He has the
best place to lie on and his choice of
the food. A single growl from him
is like a growl from an emperor
whom all are ready to obey.

TITLE PAGES.
They Were Unknown Until After the
invention Of PRINTING.

Invention OF Printing.
The most surprising thing in the
history Of the title page is the fact
that it was utterly unknown until
few years after the invention of
printing. In the days before that
great era, when all books were in
manuscript. no scribe ever thought
of prefacing his work with a sep
aratc page or leaf devoted to the
title.
When printing took the place of
writing changes came gradually.
In many early printed books there
was still scope for handiwork. Ini-
tial letters were left for the Grub
risher,'' as he was called, to deco
rate and illuminate by hand.
AS books multiplied this practice,
Of course, soon died out. OCCASION
ally wealthy and luxurious book
owners would employ a skillful illu-
minator to adorn the pages and
margins of a printed book Just as
in former days manuscripts had
been illuminated.
The manuscript practice Of sur
rounding the text with an orna-
mental border Was also often APP
piled to early printed books. The
Introduction of the title page show
ed the same mingling of old and
new.
Printing was invented about
1880, but no title page, properly SO
called, is known before 1870. In
the earliest examples the title is eli

first page, to be Immediately fol-

brief title at the top of a blank
page.
There was one curious exception.
A 'kalenlar" printed by Ratdolt
at Venice in 1876 has full title

markable page consists of an intro,
ductory poem surrounded on three
sides by ornamental borders, with

the names Of the printers.
