A CLOSE CALL
FOR ALFONSO
Royal Wedding in Madrid Marred
By Death Dealing Bombs.
SIXTEEN PERSONS KILLED
Mangled Corpses Were Strewn All
Around Carriage in Which Spanish
King and New Queen.Rode Unhurt.
At Madrid, Spain, Thursday at
noon, King Alfonzo and Princess Vic¬
toria of Battenburg were married in
the Church of San Jeronimo. Just aa
they were pronounced man and wife,
the news was signalled to the wait¬
ing crowds, and all Madrid broke into
frantic demonstrations of joy, while
cannon boomed and church bells
chimed.
Entering the royal coach the king
and queen of Spain began the return
journey to the palace amid scenes of
the wildest enthusiasm, the throngs
shouting “Long live Queen Victoria!”
Just as they were nearing the end
of the progress to the royal palace,
a bomb narrowly missed ending their
lives.
An official statement indicates the
possibility that two bombs were
■ thrown, one exploding in the air by
striking a telegraph wire, and the
other falling so close to the royal
carriage that a groom at the head of
the wheel horses was killed, as also
were the wheel horses.
At least sixteen persons were killed
and a large number wounded, Sus-
picion points to a Catalonian named
Manuel Duran, as the leader of the
regicidal conspiracy, and he is in
prison awaiting examination.
The following were killed: Captain
Parrosa, commanding part of tlie
king’s escort; Lieutenant Reysient;
Lieutenant Pendergast; six soldiers;
the Marquise of Colosa; her daugh¬
ter; Don Antonio Calvo; his niece,
aged six years; Jose Sola; military;
Luis Fonseca; one royal groom, xvho
was leading a horse drawing the
coach carrying the king and queen.
Several of those killed were stand¬
ing on the balcony of the house, from
which the bomb was thrown.
The explosion occurred just as the
royal couple were about to enter the
palace. The route of the cortege had
been diverted from Arsenal street to
Mayor street, owing to popular de¬
sires. The procession had just pass¬
ed through Mayor street, and was
about to turn into the Esplanade lead¬
ing to the palace, when an explosion
shook the buildings In the vicin¬
ity, stunning a large number of peo¬
ple ar.d throwing the cortege into in¬
extricable confusion.
The royal coach was brought to a
sudden stop by the shock, officers and
soldiers of the escort falling -to the
ground about the equerry and horses
that had been killed. The screams of
the terrified multitude mingled with
the groans of the dying. It was im¬
mediately seen that the royal coach
was intact, except as it had been
damaged by flying splinters. King Al¬
fonso immediately alighted and assist¬
ed Queen Victoria out of the car-
riage, They then entered another
coach and were driven swiftly to the
palace. quickly that
All this happened so
the people away from the immediate
vicinity were net aware of the trag¬
edy. Soon, however, there appeared
the empty royal coach with two
horses missing and the other spat¬
tered with blood, several of them
bleeding from wounds. The grooms
and drivers looked deathly pale in the
spangled uniforms. Then came a boy
shouting that a bomb had been
thrown at the king. The appearance
of the king and queen in a coach
brought out delirious ovations, The
fact was recognized that the sover¬
eigns had been spared.
In the meantime the scene of the
tragedy presented a horrible specta¬
cle, with dead men and horses lying
about literally torn to pieces, In-
tense excitement prevailed, the mob
invading the streets, while the guards
sought to maintain order and block
the approaching streets, The bod-
ies were wrapped up in blankets and
removed on litters, while tho wound-
ed were taken to hospitals in ambu-
lances. The pavement was covered
with blood and the upper stories of
the buildings nearest were spattered
with it.
The place from which the bomb
was thrown is a boarding house.
The tragic event and the narrow
margin by which King Alfonso and
the new queen escaped death has
caused the brilliancy of the royal wed¬
ding to be temporaily forgotten, al¬
though it was to have inaugurated a
period of unprecedented festivities.
P.nylne- 1’alnt.
Springtime — after the weather has
well settled— is painting time.
There is 110 dust flying, no insects are
in the air at that time ready to commit
suicide by suffocation in the coat of
fresh 1 iiiut. The atmospheric condi¬
tions are also favorable at that season
for proper drying and increased life of
the paint. Imbit with prop-
it should be a every
et’ty owner every spring to look over
ills buildings, etc., and see if they need
repainting, not merely to see if they
“will go another year.” but whether tlie
time i.as not come for putting in the
proverbial “Piitcii in lime” which shall
eventually “save nine.” For one coat
of paint applied just a little before it is
actually needed will often save most of
tne paint 011 the building b.V preveniing
it from letting go and causing endless
trouble and expense. linseed oil,
Paint lets go because
which is the -cement” that holds all
good paint together, gradually decays
or oxidizes, just as iion exposed to air
and dampness will slowly decay or oxi¬
dize. The water and oxygen in the air
are the cause of the trouble in both
cases, and tlie only reason, outside of
its beautifying effect, that we apply
paint to wood or iron is because we
want to keep water and air away from
them. Live paint, that is. paint in
which the linseed oil is still oily, does
this vary effectually, but dead paint,
that is. paint in which the oil is no
longer oily, is no more impervious to
air and water than a single thickness
of cheesecloth would be. if then we
apply a fresh coat of oily paint before
tin: old paint is dead, the oil from the
new coat will penetrate the old coat,
and (lie whole coating method \jffll once of more
become alive, and this reno¬
vation may go on indefinitely.
This explains why it is better econo¬
my to repaint a little before it becomes
absolutely necessary than a little after.
When tlie print is once dead tlie fresh
coal will pull tlie whole coating off,
I 11 the days when repainting meant a
general turning of ihings upside dowu,
a two-weeks’ “cluttering up” of the
place with kegs, cans and pails, a lot
of inflammable and ill-smelling mater¬
ials standing around, etc., the dread of
painting time was natural. So was the
dread of soap-making time, of shirt-
making time, of camile-moulding time
and the like. But we live in an age
when soap comes from the store bet¬
ter and cheaper than we can make it,
when shirts are soid ready made for
less than we can buy the materials,
when we can burn coal oil or gas
cheaper than we can make tallow-can¬
dles, and wl.rti all wv have to do when
we want to repaint is to pick out our
colors from the card at tlie store and
pay the painter for putting on tho
paint. picking out tlie
When it comes io
paint it is not necessary that one
should be a paint chemist any more
than one should lie au oil chemist when
buying kerosgne. or a department store
buyer when selecting shirts, or a soap
chemist when buying soap, All that
is necessary to insure a fair show is
some knowledge of the character of
our paint dealer and Ihe reputation
and standing of the maker of the paint
offered. Nor must one expect to buy
a pure'Unseed oil paint for the price
of linseed oil alone. It can be taken
for granted when any one offers to
sell dollar Dills at a discount, lie is bait¬
ing a hook for “suckers.” So It can
be :aken for granted when any one—
whether mail order house, paint man¬
ufacturer -or dealer—offers paint too
cheap, he is bidding for tlie trade of
“suckers.” no matter wliat his prom¬
ises.
But paints sold in responsible stores
nnder tlie brands of reputable manu¬
facturers are all good products, differ¬
ing from one another in tlie less im¬
portant matter of t lie solid pigments con¬
tained, lint praclicaily alike in having
their liquid portions composed essen¬
tia liy of pure linseed ol.. The com-
pelition of the better class of paints
lias driven inferior goods practically
out of tlie market, and no manufac¬
turer of standing now puts out a poor
paint, under J*is own name at least.
As to guarantees on paint, they can

good any defect actually traceable to
the paint itself and not «o improper
use or treatment of it. Tlie really im¬
portant guarantee which tlie paint
buyer should exact from Ills dealer is
that tlit* ]mint is made by a manu¬
facturer that knows his business and
Hut- tlie paint itself lias a record. If
lie secures this guarantee he can af¬
ford to chance ihe re»t of it—tlie paint
will undoubtedly give good service if
properly applied according to direc-
tious.

Cheap and Filling Food.
Now these be the virtues of the
cereals; they are cheap, easily swal¬
lowed and of moderate nutritive value.
There is an element in the average hu-
man mind, half puritanic, half stingy,
which is inclined to count as a virtue
the ingestion of any food which is not
especially attractive but believed to
be nutritious. In fact, to eat that
