Queen and Princess at Bedside.

Gathered around the bedside of the
dying king was the queen and prin-
cesses. No hope had been held out
throughout the day for the recovery
of his majesty, whose death, it is be-

conducting the business of state and
giving audiences, but on Wednesday
he was compelled to submit to the or
ders of his physicians. Since then I'M
til the end his decline was rapid.
The first official act of the new king
was to dispatch to the lord mayor the
announcement of his fathers death,
in pursuance of custom. His telegram
read:

that my beloved father, the king,
passed away peacefully at 11:45 to-
night.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Nanoleon's FFau.

the flag which the latter few in the
isle of Elba during his captivity there.
General Noix, custodian of the mu-

Gag, which seems to have been entire
ly invented by Napoleon, although
some say that it was in part suggest
ed by that of Cosmo de- Medici, for
mer sovereign of the island, is rather
strange standard. 1t is square, white
and fringed with gold, bearing three
gold bees and a diagonal scarlet stripe.
The staff carries a white and scarlet
scarf, having also three gold bees.
Napoleon does not seem to have used
the flag he invented elsewhere than in
the isle of Elba, where he was dc
throned and captive monarch. In

emblem and were embroidered on his
state robes his standard was the tri-
