an effort in the Senate today to get in
creased to $780, the sum to be paid by
the Government to Miss Alice V.

amount allowed is $500.
Senator 'Bristow. of Kansas, blocked

large vote sustained the ruling OF
Senator Gallinger that the MARITIME
motion was in order. However, the
objection by Bristow and his insis-

(From Bulletin. Friday, 17h M"y)

The first sad news of the death of His
Majesty King Frederik VIII reached us on
"Wednesday forenoon soon after the publlca-
ton of our paper, later sorrowful particulars
will be found in the kilograms published this
morning. The news has called forth the
deepest sympathy for the Royal Family IN
their sudden bereavement, and especially
for Her Nnjesty Queen Louise, who is so
good a friend to these islands.
On receipt of the sad news all flags were
half-masted and at 3 pm. minute guns were
fred and Church, bells tolled.

Our late sovereign, King Frederik VIII
was born on the Bird Of June 1913, and had
therefore nearly completed his Goth year.
He succeeded his Royal father King Chris
tian * on the och of January 1906, his
reign thus lasting a little over six years.
In 1869 he married Princess Louise of Nor
way and Sweden, now Queen'D owager, and
/ had eight children. Prince Christian, his
eldest son, is our present sovereign, and his
+ End son, Prince Carl, now reigns i'll Norway
as King Hankon.
A. His Maiesty's reign has been a peaceful
one, notable for the great progress which
Denmark has continued to make in oSri-
culture and commerce. 1t will probably
be marked as the period when Danish skill
and enterprise opened up a new era Of navl-
|%eation, when internal combustion engines
adispIaced steam engines for propelling se"-
going vessels
Oar present sovereign, King Christian K,
was born 26 September 1870, and married IN
April 1898 Princess Alexandrine of Meek
lenburg Schwerin, now our Queen, and has
two sons.

As bearing on the contention that the
modern church structure should not be
capped by the towering spire, the dis
tinguishing mark of the churches of for
mer days, it should be brought forward
as evidence that within two days such
spires in Vermont towns have been the
targets for bolts of lightning. On Tues
day afternoon, the spire of St. Bridget's
Catholic church in West Rutland was
struck by lightning and considerable
damage was done, the church being saved
largely through the watchfulness of the
pastor, who, with promptly called as
sistance, was able to extinguish the blaze
started in the lower part of the struc-
ture. Again last night, lofty spire at
Middlesex, that surmounting the So
called "brick" church, was struck by
lightning, and the entire structure was
consumed. These events and numerous
lead to the belief that the spire reaching
one hundred feet or so into the sky at
tracts, or is peculiarly liable to receive,
bolts of lightning, and that, therefore,
such a form of architecture is not the
safest. Modern church architecture is
dispensing with the construction of the
old-fashioned spire, and it is probable
that one of the reasons actuating such
change in style of architecture is that
