throne in the person of the father of Anita Stewards husband, and her hus- band would then in all probability succeed him.
 But the story of the grandfather of Prince Miquel in the years of his reign, 1928 to 1884, Is not of the sort that might inspire confidence in his descendants, This grandfather was known as Miquel I. He was the brother of Pedro ", who resigned the throne with the understanding that it was to go, after the death of his father, to his daughter, Maria da Gloria He assumed the title of Pedro L of Brazil. and was succeeded by his son, Pedro H., who reigned until the establishment of the Brazilian republic in 1889
 As had been her fathers wish, when John VI died in 1926, Maria da Gloria was proclaimed queen. But she reck- oned without the wishes of her grand mother, Carlotta Joachima, one of the Spanish Bourbons, and this Wom- ans love and ambitions for her younger son Miquel, the illiterate and spoiled brother of the emperor of Brazil, Carlotta had already sought the dethronement of her husband, John VI, in favor of her son, and for her pains she had been shut up in the Castle of Queluz while the son had been sent into exile. But he was allowed to return on condition that he should marry his niece, Maria da Gloria, who meantime had taken the title of Maria II.
 Once in Lisbon, Miquel sWore al legiance to the wishes of his brother, Pedro, to Maria, and to the new con stltution, but he showed no desire to marry Maria Then in 1928 he seized the reins of government and with the aid of his mother restored the reac- tionary Gortes and had himself pro- claimed the sole legitimate king.
 For six years there was civil war. The interests of Maria de Gloria were taken charge of by England and Spain. After the equalization of Evora in 1894 Maria II. was placed again upon the throne. It was then that Miquel formally renounced all pretensions to the throne for himself and his descendants. He vent abroad. For some time he lived in Rome. He died in 1866 in Baden, leaving six daughters and one son, the present Duke of Braganza, the pretender to the throne of Portugal, and the father of the husband of the American heir. ess.

That wedding in the little Scottish church on September 15, 1909, was hailed as the first royal wedding which Scotland had known since the marriage of the ill-fated Mary, Queen of Scots. The people of the region of Dingwaii made the occasion a semi-public event. The town was gaily decorated, and as big a bonfire as ever blazed on a Scottish beacon hill was lighted on the slopes of Ben Wyvis, and around it danced the the music of bagpipes
 The prince was deeply in debt at the time of the marriage. Last De- cember it was stated in dispatches from Budapest that a syndicate of creditors was suing the prince for a million. It was said that the syndi- cate had advanced him a large sum, payable when he should have made 2 rich marriage. Then last February in Vienna a large crowd in the streets watched the transfer of bric-a- brac and other belongings of the prince from his rooms to huge wagon, some of his creditors having seized his furniture.
 To cap the monetary troubles of this scion of the Braganzas announce ment was published in Vienna on February 16 last that the Austrian courts had placed Prince Miquel un- der "curatel," which puts him in much more humiliating position than is that of an undischarged bankrupt in England. People are only placed under curatel on the ground of in- sanity or reckless extravaganza. One is deprived of all his privileges as citizen, he is incapable of contracting any legal obligation, not even the mere witnessing of @ legal document, and he is at the mercy of his curators or judicial trustees, appointed by the court to act as his guardians and as the administrators of whatever prop erty he may have left.
 Up to the time of this marriage the Braganzas had sought almost always royal alliances, even if not with reign ing houses. When their scions have married into the nobility of lower rank it has been always in the form of a morganatic union. Of the family which the present revolutionary move ment has driven away from the cap ital of Portugal there are two mem- bers in whom the succession would be vested. The one of course is the young King Manuel, and the other is his uncle, the Duke of Oporto, who is unmarried If both should die with out issue and the republic should not endure the people might call the other branch of the family to the

POLICE STATION

Washington, July H.-Accusing his
wife Of bestowing upon him Judas kiss
and of instigating his arrest as fugi-
tive from justice William Lions hanged
himself with his leather belt and ended
his life in his cell In a police station here
today. Lions alleged offense was the
operation of a hand book of wagers
He was taken into custody yesterday on
an old charge and his arrest had no
connection with the several raids during
the day by local police of alleged book
makers whose offenses are charged to
be of more recent occurrence.
Lions, who was 50 years old, and his
wife, were arrested hero about a year
ago accused of making hand books on
the races The case against Mrs. Lions
was nolle pressed.
After being released on bond the hus-

II know this trouble has been insti-
gated by you, said he. This is what
you meant by telling me you were going
to see the clerk of the court, not to get

MARINE CORPS MAY
BE REORGANIZED

Washington, July 17.-That the marine
corps faces certain reorganization as the
result of the pronunciamento by a court
of inquiry that spirit of INSTRUMENTATION
ieigns throughout the service, seems to
be the prevailing opinion of naval Off
GERS on duty at the department.
The serious condition of the service
was held to be due primarily to too long
tenure of service by officers without
changes of assignments The question
of reorganization probably will be con-
sidered this week and radical changes
may be made.
The records of the officers concerned
in the recent inquiry show that General
Elliott. commandant, has been on his
present duty in Washington since Oc-
tober 8, 1903; Col. Charles H. Laucheimer.
the ad5utant and inspector at headquar-
ters, since December H. 1904; Col Frank
Denny, quartermaster. since June a. 1907;
Lieut.. Col. Thomas c. Prince, since July
TO- 1906; Lieut.. Col. Henry c. Haines,
assistant ad5utant, since May 30, 1908,
and Maj David d. Porter. assistant ad-
Jutant, since May Is, 1908
All of the men have been on a cruise
or on tour of sea duties within the
last ten years except Colonel Denny,
whose record shows that the expiration
of his last cruise or sea duty was Oc-
tober. 1889, or q years ago.
There is a probability that when the
next commandant is appointed to succeed
General Elliott. on his retirement next
October, his term of Office will be limited
to four years. the same as the chief of
staff officers of the army, and the heads
of bureaus In the navy department.

JOKER FOUND IN
LIGHTHOUSE BILL

Washington, July ia joker has been
discovered in the legislation providing for
the reorganization of the lighthouse
board and establishing it on civilian
basis instead of under the military naval
supervision. which has prevailed for
years, it is stated.
AS an important element in the matter
Congress provided for civilian inspectors,
but diligent search has failed TO dis
close anywhere in the law any appro-
priation to pay any such inspectors for
their services.
The consequence will, 1t is said, prob
ably In that the board will have to do
without the aid of the civilians until the
next session of Congress and in the mean
time will depend upon army and naval
officers to perform inspection work, the
law contemplating that for a period not
exceeding three years. The President may
assign them such duties. Tt was made
a part of the statute, so transition from
military to civilian control in minor fea-
lures of the service would be gradual, 1t

Selma, July 17.-(Special.) THE question
county shall be enforced or repealed is
absorbing the attention of the farmers
and cattle raisers now.
The question will finally be decided on
Monday July rs, when the court of coun-

farmers will plead for the continuance
and enforcement of the law at the same
time.
When the court of county commissioners
met about week ago a number of farm
ers from all sections of the county en-

The court has set day for the hear
ing of these protests and the session will
be largely attended.

want enforced, complain that the en-
forcement of the laws would work hard
ships upon them. They claim that they

stock for several months after the crop

to them of doing SO would be large.
| Equally as many other farmers are
