THE SUNNY. SOUTH
The Week in a Busy
World
After one of the bitterest and most
h o t Iy contested
campaigns in the
history of the city
of Chicago, Carter
Harrison has been
elected mayor, de
feating. by a large
•majority. Judge El-
bridge Hanecy, his
republican oppo
nent. Every effort
known to politicians MayorHarrison
was used by Mayor Harrison’s enemies
to defeat him. and the cry of third term
was the least of their weapons. The
public utility corporations were espe
cially prominent among those seeking
his defeat, and his election is in the
nature of a personal victory in addi
tion to being a great political triumph.
Carter Harrison’s campaign was made
on a straight municipal ownership plat
form as against franchise grabbers. The
convention nominating him spoke in clear
and unmistakable terms on this ques-
tion. and he and his supporters main
tained that his former administrations
had been such as to cause his strongest
opposition to come from public utility
corporations. A count of the votes gave
Harrison a plurality of almost 30,000, he
carrying twenty-six of the thirty-five
wards. As mayor of Chicago, Carter
Harrison has gained national prominence
and is a power in the political world.
The present victory is probably his
greatest and .most gratifying.
In St. Louis, Mo., Rolla Well
democratic nominee
for world’s fair
mayor, won by a
plurality of about
10,000 votes. St.
Louis is normally a
republican city by a
majority of 15,000
votes. The office of
mayor just at this
time has an added
importance owing Rolla Wells
to the world’s fair which is to be held
ir. St. Louis during the present term.
Other municipal elections of importance
occurred during the week. In Cleveland.
O.. Tom L. Johnson, democrat, whose
platform favors a 3-cent car fare, was
elected over his republican opponent by
a good plurality. In Cleveland, as in
Chicago, the street car situation played
a prominent part in the election.

Japan now occupies the most conspicu
ous position In the eastern situation and
has gone so far as to defy Russia. The
Japanese government has asked China
not to sign the Manchurian convention
and ofTers to share the consequences even
If they include war. In view of the fact
that Russia has issued an ultimatum
to China demanding the signing of the
Manchurian convention. Japan s action
means that the latter country is prepared
to test strength with Russia. This is the
second tilt between Russia and Japan
and war between the two countries is
now regarded as inevitable. Japan s navy
is said to be superior to Russia’s and
the indications are that the war, if it
occurs, will result n some surprises.
1,1 Hung Chang is said to have b<t
Pekin for Shanghai on account of the
displeasure the emperor has shown to
ward him as a result of his management
of the negotiations. Li Hung Chang has
advocated the signin’- of the Manchurian
convention by his country and his atti
tude through the entire crisis has been
favorable to Russia. It is not bclic\ed
that the emperor would have taken such
summary action with Li Hung Chang
had he not had the support of the other
powers. Thus it seems that Russia is
to be effectual'- checked in her designs
upon Manchuria.

The diplomatic relations between the
United States and Venezuela have reached
such an acute stage that Minister Frank
Loomis, who has played such a promi
nent part in the
controversy grow
ing out of the as
phalt disturbances,
has been recalled
by the state de
partment at Wash
ington. The recall
ing of Minister
Loomis, it i3 an
nounced by the „
state department. Frank Loomis
does not mean that the United States has
ceased diplomatic relations with Vene
zuela. but it is said this government de
sires more direct information than it can
secure through the cable messages for
warded by the minister.
The last protest made to Venezuela re
specting the treatment of Consul Rais
has not met with a satisfactory response
and the controversy over asphalt conces
sions is still open.
Minister Loomis has had the full ap
proval of the government for every
thing he has done during the present
crisis, but despite this fact, it is likely
that he will be transferred to another
post, one of equal importance, on the
ground that a change of climate will be
beneficial to his health.
An interesting feature of the Venezue
lan situation is the cable mtormation to
the effect that President Castro, who de
clared himself president of the republic
on the recent change of government, has
been appointed by the constituyente to
be provisional president of Venezuela.

The events of the past week have
brought no betterment in Russia’s uncer
tain political situation. Lat^ dispute hes
state that an officer of ,ne household ,
made an attempt to assassinate the czar. ]
and failing, turned the pistol upon him
self and committed suicide.
Rumors, yet unconfirmed, arc to the ef- |
feet that Count Tolstoi, in addition to J
T excommunication from the Russian
! church, has been banished from the lantj
, When, a few days ago. tne situation in
i Russia reached, what seemed to be, its
! crisis. Count Tolstoi addressed a lettet
; to the czar advising him to take action
necessary for the pacification of his over
wrought subjects and advising him that
the suggested course was the only one
that could nlace the government on a
solid foundation. That the count's com
munication and the advice it contained
was thanklessly put aside seems to be
verified in the rumor that he has bee*
banished.
So carefully are the political doings
and the facts of the uprisings guarded
that the information reaching the out
side world is meagre and. at times, dis
torted. Despite this, however, it seems
clear that Russia has reaehed the critical
point in the history of its government.
*
Dissensions are said to have arisen be
tween King Edward
and Queen Alexan
dra as a result of
the latter's objec
tion to playing a
prominent part in
the social affairs of
the kingdom. It is
said that the queen
wishes to abdicate
her functions and
live in almost as
complete retirement as when she was
princess of Wales. The king, with his
love for pomp and show, wishes the
queen to enter into the social life of
the kingdom with energetic interest, and
in order to carry his point is said to
have appealed to queen's sister, the
dowager empress of Russia, for her in
tervention.
The queen is at present on a visit to
her father at Copenhagen, and, since
she does not appear inclined to take
the king's view of the situation, it is
believed her visit will be prolonged.
*
Interesting changes have occurred in
the newspaper world in the past week.
The Chicago Record, which has for the
past twenty years, under the editorship
and proprietorship of Victor F. Lawson,
been one of the most prominent dally
papers in the United States, has been
sold to H. H. Kohlsaat, of The Times-
Herald, and combined with that paner
under the name of The Chicago Record-
Herald.
Mr. Lawson Is also editor and owner
of The Chicago Daily News and sold
The Record in order to give his entire
time and attention to his afternoon pa
per.
A. K. McClure, the veteran editor of
The Phiiadelohia Times, and one of the
founders of that paper, has resigned
from its editorship, although he declares
he has not retired from journalistic work.
As editor oi The Times, Colonel Mc
Clure gained more than a national repu
tation. He was especially favorable to
the south and rendered valuable service
in bringing the resources of this section
to the notice of the world.
*
Roland Reed, one of the most popular
actors who visited
the south, died In
New York Mkrch
30th of cancer of
the stomach. He
had been ill for a
great length of
time, and, as a re
sult of several op
erations. his friends
were given hope for
Roland Reed his recovery. Three
or four days before his death he was
out among his friends, but a sudden
change for the worse came, resulting in
his death. When in good health, Roland
Reed visited the south almost every sea
son and was popular in this section,
having many personal friends. Several
years ago he was injured in a railroad
wreck near Macon. Ga.. and during the
trial of the resulting damage suit he
was forced to spend several weeks in
Georgia. During that time he made
many friends.
*
General Frederick Funston. of the vol
unteer forces, has won his reward for
the daring capture of Aguinaldo and the
president has announced his appointment
as a brigadier general in the regular
army.
The promotion of General Funston
comes as a gratifying bit of news to his
friends. His career has been something
remarkable and it was predicted at the
time he entered the volunteer army that
he would forge rapidly to a position of
unusual distinction and honor. His cap
ture of Aguinaldo was by no means Fun-
ston's only deed of daring, and his inter
esting history is filled with deeds of a
like nature.
Aguinaldo has taken the oath of alle
giance to the United States and it is
believed that this will have the effect
of bringing the war in the Philippines
to a speedy close. If such is the result
General Funston will have the further
distinction of having been the indirect
cause of bringing about a condition that
the government has longed for since tak
ing possession of the islands and which
has resulted in a great outlay of money
and the loss of many lives.

Considerable interest Is felt in the ne.w
aerial machine, a successful trial of which
was had in the Crystal palace. London.
The machine is the invention of M. Gau-
dron, a Frenchman, and i3 shaped like
a ciear. The complete machine will be
100 feet Ions by 30 in diameter, inflated
with hydrogen, and having a lifting pow
er of 7,000 pounds. It will take a crew of
five men—a captain and four motorrr»n.
In still weather a speed of thirty-five
miles an hour is guaranteed by the in
ventor. The screws, four in number, are
suspended from a bar which is hung on
the machine, with the old method of a
movable weight to keep the body straight
or to cause it to rise or fall. Four
petroleum mot/rs of ten horse power
each will be used. The screws are six
feet long and two feet wide and make
1,000 revolutions per minute.
Oh its first trial the machine soared up
in a spiral course and was obedient to the
demands made upon it.
Lord Salisbury is said to be so ill that
his resignation ot
the premiership and
his retirement from
active political life
may be expected.
Efforts have been
made, to prevent the
fact of his illness
gaining pub
licity, but the news
of his probable in-
Szlisbury ability to take the
proposed trip to the Rivera caused it to
become known that he was suffering
from what may prove a serious illness.
The doctors declare Lord Salisbury to be
suffering from Bright’s disease in so ag
gravated a form that a grave view is
taken of his case. So anxious is the pre
mier to prevent the nature of his illness
becoming known that he has not allowed
any of his physicians attending him to is
sue a bulletin.
Mme. Nordica will now obtain the 1300,-
000 left her by her mother, who died dur
ing February. The money was left in
trust until H. B. Ehler, her brother, could
be located. His whereabouts were not
known, he having not seen his mother in
sixteefi years. The search for him was
begun some time ago, and he was located
last week in Altoona, Pa. He. has gone
to New York, where matters will be so
arranged that Mme. Nordica will obtain
the fortune. Ehler is a native of Ken
tucky, and has been in the active poli
tics of that state.
The war against the Filipinos is not to
be the only cause for worry in the Philip
pine situation. It is announced that
mammoth frauds have been detected
which have already resulted in a loss of
several hundred thousand dollars to this
government.
The frauds are in the commissary de
partment and a number of army ofllcers
of high rank are said to be implicated.
Captain F. J. Barrows and several others
are under arrest and the frauds will he
probed until the guilty parties have been
punished.

Rev. John Jasper, the famous “sun do
move" negro preach
er, died at his home
in Richmond. Va.,
last week at the
ripe old age of
eighty-nine. He was
one of the best
known negro preach
ers in this country,
gaining his reputa
tion through his fa-
R.e v J no Jasper mous theory that
the earth is four-cornered, and that the
sun moves around it. Jasper was the
youngest of twenty-four children, having
been born in Fluvanna county, Va., July
4. 1812. He was a slave, but was of
unusual intelligence. On July 4, 1839, he
became convinced that he was called to
preach the gospel, and proceeded to learn
to read in order that he might prepare
for the work. After long and diligent
study he became a minister, and served
a number of churches. He is said to
have broken all records by baptising 300
persons in two hours. At the time of his
death he was pastor of the Sixth Mount
Zion Baptist church of Richmond, with
a congregation of more than 2,000 souls.

The magnificent Jefferson hotel, of
Richmond. Va.. was almost completely
destroyed by fire last Saturday morning
and its loss will be felt by the entire
south. The hotel was the grandest struc
ture of its kind in the south and w*s
erected six years ago by the late Lewis
Ginter at a cost of $1,000,000.
The famous Jefferson monument,
which adorned one of the entrances to
the hotel, was badly injured, but Sculp
tor Valentine has given it as his opinion
that the monument can be restored. The
monument was a magnificent and costly
affair and very little time will be lost in
replacing it.

James Stephens, the noted Fenia
er. died recently in
Dublin after a re
markable career.
He was known as
the “Head Center of
Fenianism,” and
was associated with
the popular Irish
cause from his boy
hood. He was born
in Kilkenny, Ire
land, in 1824. and Jm» Stephens
while a youth formed the views that later
brought him into prominence as a lead
er of the “Young Ireland” party. During
the fight at Ballingarry during the rebel
lion of 1848, he was severely wounded and
left on the field for dead. He made his
escape into France, after wandering
through the mountains for several months
disguised as a woman. His declaration
Julia Murray, a young girl of that eitjj
declared they plainly saw her in a vision
that appeared on the wail of the room in
the middle of the night. The vis on. thev

file. and then slowly turned until the full
face and figure of the girl was plainly
visible. They claim to have seen the
complete detail of her dress, and all who
were in the room saw the vision.
Scientists who investigated the matter
believe the vision can be explained by a
shadow or the working of a mirror, al
though they have r.ot been able to fully
explain the phenomena.

Maurice Barrymore, the well known ac
tor. has been carried to the pavilion for
the insane at Bellevue hospital. New
York, having
reached such an
unbalanced mental
condition that his
.my
friends feared he

would injure him-
self or attack
someone else. His
mental condition is
r -
said to be the re
sult of a recent at-

He has not filled any professional en
gagements weekly, although- he has been
actively at work in the interest of the
V hite Rats. Before he was committed.
Barrymore made an attack on his daugh
ter. Ethel, but she was saved from in
jury by her brother.
Maurice has been popular and success-
ful on the stage. He is an Englishman
by _ birth and a graduate of Cambridge
university. His first American appear
ance was at Boston in 1S75. He was promi

holder of one of the Marquis of Queens-
berry cups as a prize.
A Paris doctor has put the telephone to
a novel use. He was awakened in the
middle of the night by an anxious mother,
whose baby had suddenly been seized with
a violent fit of coughing, and who said
she feared the babv had croup. The doc
tor. not wishing to go out into the wintry
night, had a brilliant idea. He tele
phoned :
“Lift the baby to the telephone,
maiame. and let him cough.”
The baby coughed into the telephone
and the doctor, after listening to the
noise, replied:
“Don't worry, madame. the baby hasn't
the slightest trace of croup. You had bet
ter go back to bed.”

Captain Nathaniel Edson Sheldon, of
Chicago, an ex-army officef and a promi
nent member of the Grand Army of the
Republic, has
adopted a new plan
of missionary work
which he declares
is proving a great
success. He insert
ed an advertise
ment in the news
papers stating that
he would give a
Bible, a box of
C*Pt Sheldon candy and a copy
of the “Life of D. W. Moody" to those
who would answer the advertisement and
prove themselves needy and worthy. Mrs.
Sheldon is not enthusiastic . over the
novel charity work of her husband. She
says his mind is unbalanced and that he
prefers to have young women answer his
advertisement. Sheldon in return says
his wife, while a good helpmeet, is men
tally weak and is in addition to this an
infidel. He says his wife’s mental wea>
ness causes her to regard his good work
as a cloak for evil. She. on the other
hand, contends that he does not know
what he is about.
THIS HEAD LIES EASY

O other nation in Eimope
is so little known tq the
globe trotter as Greece.
On account of the diffi
culty of the language,
travelers remain almost
entirely ignorant of the
personal ways of the
Greek in his own land.
Nor does this apply
to the common or
street variety of the
Greek alone. The
court of Athens and its
king have been hardly
better known to the out
side world than was the
mysterious Mikado’s
court before Japan was
thrown open to civilization. This present
attempt to throw light upon the Greek
king and his people grows out of an ex
tended experience on the part of the wri
ter, both in the huts and mountain vil
lages of the Greek peasant, and in the
salons of Athens.
From this experience one fact stands
out prominently concerning King George
and the royal family. The Greeks adore
their present ruler. The overflowing
loyalty and affection that existed before
the Turkish war were too deeply rooted
to wane more than temporarily as the
result of that dismal affair. “Our Geor
gy” ("O Yoryi mas”) is looked upon as a
father and friend by all his people. They
delight in telling stories of his simplicity,
kindness and easy-going paternal ways.
In this estimate they are at once right
and wrong. "Our Georgy” is as simple
in his habits as any domesticated pater-
families in the world, but like a great
many bourgeois, thouglyvery affectionate,
he is the sternest of martinets.
The king was fifty-six years old in Jan
uary. If we may judge the whole course
of his life from what we know of him
since he landed in Greece to take the
throne the powers offered him, then
it is certain that for fifty-six years (or
let us say fifty years to make allowance
for early childhood) he has never got up
ill the morning as much as five minutes
before or five minutes after 7 o'clock,
that is not early for Greece, whose streets,
nine months in the year, are full of peo
ple at 5 o'clock. But it is the king's hour
and he is unfailingly faithful to it. He
takes an ice cold bath immediately after
rising and dresses himself in the frock
coat suit, which he will wear all day long,
with the star of the “Grand Cross of
Greece” gleaming on the lapel. At half
past 7 he passes into his study and reads
the morning papers, which must be laid
out, unfolded, in a certain order, on his
desk. He is familiar with Danish (his na
tive tongue). German, French and Eng
lish, as well as Greek; and among the
papers on his desk there are always sev
eral foreign sheets chosen by the syngra-
phefs, or private secretary, for some par
ticular article which he thinks will in
terest his majesty. The king has given
orders that every word concerning himself
be brought to his notice. It is not im
probable that he may even read this_atj;
tiele, for both the French and the
banishment from France, and he went
to Belgium to live, where, he became an
invalid. The report that he was dying
brought all the Irishmen, the world over,
to his aid.

The diary of Major Anare. after lying
hidden for a hundred years, has been
discovered in England.
This interesting find was made by Lord
Grey the other dav while he was going
over a lot of old family papers that prob
ably had not been disturbed since the con
clusion of the American war of independ
ence. Lord Grey's great-grandfather was
a commander of British troops in Ameri
ca at that time (Andre served on his staff)
and this accounts for the diary being in
the possession of the present peer.

one in the morning till he has smoked a
couple of Egyptian cigarettes over his in
finitesimal cup of very strong Turkish cof
fee (with the grounds forming an inch
thick deposit at the bottom of the cup).
This desire of unbroken matutinal soli
tude causes him to make his morning
brew himself.
With his coffee and cigarettes he pores
over the journals till ten. Precisely at
that hour he mounts to the queen’s pri
vate salon on the second story of the
royal palace. Here the whole royal fam
ily is required to be present without fail.
Every one, even the queen, rises when
he enters, and here is a chorus of "Kale-
mera, patera,” “Good morning, father,”
from all the princes and princesses. For,
by the way, "Our Georgy” insists on the
use of the Greek tongue in the home life
of the court, though he is a Dane and
the queen a Russian. In the queen’s sa
lon the king indulges in light family talk
while her majesty and the young folks
take the proyeoma or "first breakfast.”
The meal, amply sufficient in that cli
mate. consists of tea served in the Eng
lish fashion with clotted cream, and tar-
tines of bread and butter with some sweet
biscuits. The king makes fun of his
family over this harmless repast, declar
ing them gluttons; for he himself nev<|:
eats anything till the heavy mid-day
lunch. A stroll in the palace follows the
breakfast; the whole family trotting out
together to inspect the carefully kept
flower beds or to romp on the vast lawns
mowed and trimmed by English garden
ers. Here the king lays his dignity aside
and romps with the little folk, while
Queen Olga looks on at, the fun.
The king never forgeti, however, to keep
one eye on the palace clock. At a quarter
past eleven he sobers down and becomes
the practical man of aMairs. He returns
to his study and immerses himself in
state papers and in documents concern
ing his personal business. For he is very
much of a business man. He is also
a very rich. one. Not because he is king
of poor little Greece, but because he has
a commercial genius equal to that of a
Jay Gould or an Andrew Carnegie. His
allowance as king is a very small matter,
scarcely enough to enable him to build
nnd occupy with becoming decency a
brown stone mansion on Fifth avenue,
if he were a private American citizen.
But by sheer business ability, by a won
derful grasp of affairs, he has made him
self a multi-millionaire. Speaking in
American terms one might say he was
many times a king. Besides being king
of Greece he is, in his own country, a
"dairy king,” a "railway king,” a "raisin
and "olive king,” and above all a "sea
king” (the last not in the sense in which
his marauding Danish ancestors centuries,
ago bore that romantic title.) The fact
is that his capital, judiciously invcs.ec'
in Greek native industries, increased so
rapidly that he has finally been able to
“corner” the most profitable produce of
his kingdom. He owns vast dairy farms
and plantations of grapes and olives all
over the land. Nearly the entire railway
system of Greece is under his control
and pays a big percentage directly into
his money box, and he personally owns a
large fleet of merchant vessels engaged
in the very lucrative carry trade of the
Levant between Greek, Turkish, Egyptian,
Austrian, Arabian and French ports. He
has invested a great deal of surplus capi
tal in English and American securities,
and buys and sells on the market with
■almost unfailing sagacity. If he lost hi3
Greek crown and all his Greek properties
tomorrow he would still be an exceedingly
wealthy man. And if he lest nil his
wealth the day after that he could com
mand a royal wage from any big specu
lative or commercial and industrial mag
nate in need of an expert agent.
The writer heard it told in Athens that
the German emperor, whether casually
or with direct sarcastic intention, allud
ed once in King George's presence to the
"unroyal habit of making money.” To
which Kihg George answered with simple
directness:
“I see nothing unroyal in making
money. It’s a great deal better to be a
rich merchant than a bankrupt king.”
If he himself had not the ability to
make money, a perpetually bankrupt king
is just what he would have been. The
hour per day that he devotes to transact
ing his purely personal business must be
exceptionally interesting to a man of
King George's tastes; but he never al
lows the price of milk or the probabilities
of the olive harvest to keep him from re
ceiving, at precisely half-past 12 o'clock,
his ministers and the chiefs of the army
and navy, or any foreign diplomat who
may have business with him. Usually
the ambassadors are received in the study
where the king practically lives all the
morning; on special occasions only are

I have suffered untold pain at menstrual
periods for a long time; was nervous, had no
appetite, and lost interest in everything; in

needed and to-day I am entirely cured. I can

....TRIAL...
incur the terrible look of her father, the
somev.hat flighty young Princess Maria is
often seen to come flying down stairs,
three steps at a time, and putting the
final touches to her toilet as she dashes
breathlessly into the room.
After lunch, instead cf going to sleep
for a while in the siesta, which nearly
all his subjects take, “Our Georgy”
spreads himself out in a vast arm chair
with his Turkish pipe bubbling by his
side and a French novel in his hand. The
family has permission to nod off if it
likes, for an hour and a half or so, then
the king decides how the afternoon is to
be spent. Generally it is a ride or drive
to Phalerion, past the ancient Acropolis
and down to the beach, where there is a
l’ttle garden reserved for the royal fam
ily. Here they lounge away the hot hoars
by the beautiful Mediterranean in what
is certainly one of the most magically
lovely as it is assuredly the most ro
mantically historical nook of the globe.
In the cool of the evening, when the sun
is getting ready to set over Hymettus,
and the marble ruins of the glorious past,
the royal party returns to the palace,
driving rapidly through the picturesque
crowd that daily wait for their passing to
cry “zeeto!” to the king.
At half-past 8 o’clock there is the din
ner, a function exactly similar to the
lunch, except that the younger princesses
are not allowed to dine at the state ta
ble They eat under the eye of an in-
tendant in another salle, coming in only
for the dessert. When there are no guests
of distinction, the after dinner hours
are passed in the most bourgeois fashion.
The king gives himself up entirely to his
children, talking, chaffing with the
younger ones, and playing billiards with
Prince Andreas or bezique or skampili
with his wife. It is sad to have to relate
that his majesty is a confirmed punster;
he mangles the five languages he com
mands in the constant effort to beat the
record. His personal intimates know that
nothing more i commends them to his
good graces than to bring punning stories
gaiore for his amusement. One reason
he is so devoted to the strictly modern
Greek, the Greek of the people as dis
tinct from the pedantic Greek of news
paper and books, is that It is a language
lending itself to an infinity of puns. It
is said “Our Georgy” would rather
make a good pun than add a vessel to
his private fleet. He boasts that on one
supremely happy day he fabricated
twenty-three distinct and original puns.
Twice a year only does this rigid re
gime cease to rule the king and his sur
roundings'. That is when, for the Christ
mas and summer holiday of a month
each, the court is transplanted to the
country palace at Tatoi. Here all is
play, country sports of every kind tak
ing the place of city work. But even in
riding, driving, bicycling, shooting and
picnicking, order and method are made
to rule.
