11 o’clock, the Installation of the
Nisuwe Kerk. In the afternoon the
Qneen will again drive through the
city, visiting the Jordan, the ghetto
of Amsterdam, where some 70,000
Jewe reside. At night the oity will be
brilliantly illuminated, and again the
Queen will drive out to see and to be
seen.
A sacred reveille will Usher in the
next day, on which the Queen will be
serenaded by the Netherlands Choral
Society. In the afternoon she will
witness an allegorical and historical
procession illustrating in picturesque
fashion the chief episodes and stirring
events in the nation’s history from the
time of the eighty years' war down to
the nineteenth century.
Besides all this she is to witness a
water carnival, and on the next day go
over the Ilouse of Orange section of
the Byx Museum, attend a "matinee
musicalo” and a gala performance in
the theatre. The following morning
the Queen and the Queen’s mother
will take their departure.
At the 'present moment the shop
windows of Amsterdam are filled with
portraits of the sweet-faoed Queen.
There she is as a baby in the arms of
her mother; as a little girl playing
with her dog or fondling her pony;
while more regal, and eagerly bought,
is the picture of her majesty in robes
of ermine and rioh velvet, with the
Crown jewels adorning her.
The Dutch Government has ordered
home from Java all the jewels in the
Treasury, which have been taken from
the rajahs and nativo rulers pf that
vast island, in order* to make for the
young Queen a crown, a sceptre and
an orb. Among them are some of the
most splendid jewels in tho world.
The following is the oath taken by
the Queen: "I swear to the Dutch
people that I will observe and always
name of Wilhelmina Helena Paulina
Maria. It is doubtful whether the
loyal Netherlanders would to-day ex-

A HOME-MADE FILTER.
CORONATION OF HOLLAND’S GIRL-QUEEN.
_ HOUGH the angry
noise of war now
dins in tho ears of
the Old World and
the New, t there
comes frotn Hol
land, the land of
windmills and
dykes, a peaoeful,
happy note. The
whole of the pros-
erous little kingdom has been busy
or months getting ready for tho time
When the young Qneen Wilhelmiua
comes of ago and is installed with
•very ciroumstauoe of regal pomp and
••remony as sovereign of the Nether
lands.
Queen Wilhelmina now holds a post
Mon in the eyes of the world mnoh
like that which Queen Viotoria held
cixty-one years ago, when she began*
her unequalled reign. All the world
regards with sympathy and interest a
fair young queen. She is likely to
prove a better sovereign than a man
wonld, because she has a woman’s
goodness and a woman’s defenoes
against the temptations which assail a
ling. That is why the young Queen is
• centre of attraction.
Wilhelmina ia now a fair-haired,
AS a child, 1884.
pretty young woman, with a well de
veloped, supple figure. She is essen
tially womanly aua gentle in manner
and looks.
The Queen has an unusual claim to
the attention of ordinary human be
ings. She is the only Queen who in
sists on marrying according to the
dictates of her own heart She haB
fiercely resisted all tho attempts of
her mother and her Ministers to
choose a husband for her.
Last year it was announced she
wonld marry her cousin, Prince Bern-
hard of Saxe-Weimar, whom the au
thorities had selected as suitable.
She refused to marry him, because he
was too ugly and because she did not
love him. Other matches have been
suggested for her, but she rejected
them all on sentimental grounds.
The environment of the Queen’s
girlhood has fitted her for quiet and un
ceremonious sovereignty in what is vir
tually a Dutch republic, although the
ceremonies attendant on her corona
tion are of an interost only equalled
by the ooronation of the Czar and the
celebration of Qneen Victoria's reign.
It baa been easy to reconcile the
young Queen and her mother to oil
the details of a democratic festival
conducted maiuly for tho entertain
ment of tho musses. The Queen,
when she enters Amsterdam in tri
umph, will drive through the poorer
section of the city as well as through
the finest residential quarter, and
every day for a fortnight she will he
in plain sight of tho people both the
and at the Hague. There will be
series of popular fetes, with few

special privileges for the aristooratio
classes. The attendanoe at the in
stallation oeremonios in the ehuroh
was limited to two thousand, and the
state dinner ie mainly an official and
diplomatic affair, with not moro than
250 guests. There will be a single
festival performance at the principal
theatre in Amsterdam, and there may
be a very small oonrtball at the palace
at ThA Hague. Everything will be
done for the pleasure oi the masses,
and very little for the entertainment
of the privileged olosses. The Queen
Begent and her daughter have assented
readily to arrangements whioh are in
aooord with their quiet tastes and
simple manners. They prefer to
please the many rather than to gratify
the exolosive spirit of the favored few.
According to present arrangements,
the Qneen ami her mother are to leave
The Hague, after the celebration of
the eighteenth birthday anniversary.
Arriving at Amsterdam, they will be
met by the leading citizens And repre
sentatives of the Government, and, es-
oorted by kuBsars, will drive through
the eity to the palace.

that I will defend and guard with all
my power tho independence and the
territory of the empire, that I will
proteot publie and private liberty and
the rights of all my subjoots, and that
I will nse every meanB confided to me
by the law to foster and uphold tho
national and individual well-being, as
a good Queen should do. And may
God help me.”
Quean Wilhelmina has boon (ruined'
to poisesB all the qualities of a typical
Dutch housewife. As a little girl Bhe
had a little house of her own, where
she did all the honsework herself.
Her portrait in the national costnme
of a Dutch housewife, with a linen
coiff over her head, is one of the most
pleasing presentments we have of her.
THE LITTLE QUEEN AT THIRTEEN, 1898'
Many clever or ourious sayings are
attributed to the youug Queen. Once
sho said: "I will never marry. I will
reign alone like Elizabeth of England."
Again, when her mother wished her
to go to bed early, she said: "I will
go out on the balcony and tell the
Dutch people how you ill-treat their
Queen.”
Prom now on the snbjeot of matri
mony will be inseparably associated
with the Queen. She is going to marry
for love. Who will he be? She is
good-looking, amiable, accomplished,
rioh beyond computation. He will be
a fortunate man.
Queen Wilhelmina is like Qneen
Viotoria in that she inherits the throne
after-a monarch notorious for his de
pravity. Victoria’s accession was
separated bv only a few years from the
death of George IV., the worst de
bauchee in Europe.
Wilhotmina’s father, King William
ILL, who died in 1889, left an un
savory reputation behind him. His’
intrigues were tho talk of the world.
He frequented the conoert halls,
where jokes were made about his ad
ventures. He laughed as heartily and
applauded as vigorously as any one.
He had no sense of shame, no con
science, no scruples, no domestic
affections. He was a standing satire
upon monarohy.
It was something of a disappoint
ment to the King when, on Augast
81,1880, the heir to his throne proved
to be a-girl. She was baptized by the
oanter, a lamp glass, snoh as can be
mrolvised anywhere for a few cents,
>y way of a funnel, and a piece oi*
sponge or cotton wool. Some people
prefer eotton wool heosnse it oan be
thrown away after a time and renewed
at a nominal oost. If the sponge ia
chosen it ought to be taken out often,
oloaned in hot salt water and afterward
rinsed 'in cold. The Bponge or cotton
wool is placed for the distanoe of an
inch in tho lamp shade. This is then
covered by a layer of fine white sand,
whioh haslieeh washed very olean,and
placed in a fine Iayn bag. This mnst
be paoked through the top of the
glass, and spread out to fit aorosa by
the aid of a long pencil or a skeWer.
On top of the (and mnst be plaoed •

in an earthen vessel and pouring boil-
lhg water upon it. The layer should

then be as good as ever, and can thus
be oleansed indefinitely. From time
to time, also, the whole apparatus will
want cleansing, and the whole pf the

have to be taken out and thoroughly

News comes of a peculiar tragedy in
n colored family in Cliattahoocheo

snake and fatally. In her excitement
sho forgot about the baby at the spring,
and when she finally wont to get it
she fonnd the infant drowning in the
spring. The woman is nearly crazed j
with grief. The snake was killed by !

A Washington dispatch says: Tho I
Third Georgia regiment, Ool. Candler, 1
has been ordered to Jacksonville, Fla., I
and with the order is a notification
that practically no volunteers will be
mustered ont after this date. Peace is
not yet assured and the conditions
just now are such that the department
has changed its intentions, and in
stead of mustering out the volunteers,
as was at first planned, before the
peace negotiations are settled, it is
now determined to keep the remainder
of the volunteer army, and it is quite
large yet, in force.

An interesting document in the
shape of a deed of transfer in the
deni between the Virginia aud Carolina
Chemical Company, whioh absorbed
the plants and business of the South
ern Fertilizer Company some days
ago, has been filed with the clerk of
the court in Decatur. The document
was a lengthy one, and in recording it
a number of pages of the court record
were required. One sheet of the doc
ument was almost covered with docu
mentary tax stamps, and represented
a revenue of $442.50 to the govern

A telegram from New York reports
a rumor there that food consigned to
railroads to be delivered at camps in
the south has been left to rot on the
tracks, and that hundreds of tons of
provisions on the lines of southern
railroads have never been delivered.
This report seems to have arisen from
the fact that five carloads of partly
damaged meat and flour' were sold at
Atlanta a few days ago by order of the
chief ooujmissary. Theso were Btored
at Miami, Fla., to he forwarded to
I Santiago as needed, but tho end of the
; campaign and the the return of the
i troops prevented this, and this much
: of the Buppty was affected by the heat
| of Florida. Near a hundred cars have
been returned to Atlanta in good con
dition.
The largest and most important mil
itary hospital during the Spanish-
Amcrican war has been that at Fort
McPherson. Sinoe the conversion of
the barracks into a general hospital
1,818 patients hove been received. Of
this number 1,182 were of the regular
army and 686 volunteers. At present
there are in the neighborhood of 750
cases in the hospital, 350 being stricken
with typhoid fever, and the balance
suffering with other diseases. These
men were brought from Santiago,
Tampa, Feruandina and other points
where regiments were located at the
timo they were taken ill, but their
places of nativity represent every
state in the Union. Of this large
number of sick soldiers 66 have died
in the hospital wards.
The will of Rev. A. G. P. Dodge
was Hied at Brunswick Saturday. It
bears date of July 10, 1896, and has a
short codicil which does not material
ly change the original. The estate in
the majority ia giveu to the ‘diocese of
Goorgia Episcopal church. The execu
tors are his wife, his mother, John A.
Foster and Rev. C. K. Nelson, bishop
of Georgia. Bishop Nelson and Mr.
Foster are oxpvesaly absolved from
giving bond. The share of the estate
which will reveit to the Episcopal
church of Georgia is variously esti-
1 mated from 80:),030 to SI 30,000.

REGAINED HEALTH.
Gratifying Letters to Mrs. Pink-
ham From Happy Women.
“I Ow. You My Life."
Mrs. B. Woclhiskr,
Mills, Neb., writes:
"Dear Mrs. Pixkiiam:—I owe my
life to your Vegetable Compound. The
doctors said I hod consumption and
nothing could bo dono for me. My
I menstruation had stopped and they
j said my blood was turning to water. I
had several doctors. They all said I
conld not live. I began the use of Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound,
anil it helped me right away; menses
returned and I have gained in weight.
I hava better health than I have had for
years. Itis wonderful whatyour Com
pound has done for me.”
M I Feel Like a New Person."
Mrs. Geo. Leach,
1009 Belle St., Alton, Ill., writes:
“ Before I began to take your Vege
table Compound I was a great sufferer
from womb trouble. Menses would ap
pear two and three times in a month,
causing me to be so weak I coulil not
stand. I could neither sleep nor eat, and
looked so badly my friends hardly
knew me.
! “I took doctor's medicine but did not
derive much benefit from it. My drug
gist gave me one of your little books,
and after reading it I decided to try
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. I feel like a new person. I
wonld not give your Compound for all
the doctors’ medicine in tha world. I
, can not praise it enough.”
Lazy Liver
I **I have been troubled a great deal
with a torpid liver, which produces conetlpa*
i tlon. I found CASCARETS to be all you claim
for them, and secured such relief the first trial,
that I purchased anothor supply and was com
pletely cured. I shall only bo too glad to reo-
ommend Cascarots whenover the opportunity
Is presented." J. A Smith.
