Assassinations of “X/neasy "Rests the Head . 4 * °h« the century * The assassination of King Humbert of Italy added another to a long list of murders that have stricken down sovereigns during recent decades. Most of the victims have been occupants of European throne3. South America's •latest contribution was the killing of President Bnrda of Uruguay in 1897, while within a few days the report has come—and been denied—that the em peror of China had been slain. Europe's last assassination of a mem ber of royalty was that of the Empress Elizabeth of Austria while she was traveling in Switzerland. The assassination of Empress Eliza beth of Austria at Geneva recently by Anarchist Luchlnt was the first suc cessful attempt on the lives of rulers since June, 1894.

France was stabbed at Lyons on June 24, 1894; Canovas del Castillo, prime minister of Spain and virtually ruler of the country while he was in office, was shot and killed at Santa Agueda on Aug. 8, 1897. All three assassinations were the work of men wrho loudly pro claimed themselves anarchists and their deeds the result of their convic tions, and the assassins were all three Italians, a circumstance which imme diately after the three assassinations caused a furore against that race in the countries which had suffered. The final and successful attempt of nihilism on the life of Alexander III. of Russia occurred on March 13, 1881. Two bombs were thrown at the Im perial carriage, the first by Rysakoff, the second and fatal one by Grenevit eky. The emperor was out to view the parade of the Marine corps. The event had been planned far In advance and nihilism had plenty of time to arrange what was to he a grand movement to end the czar’s life. Mines were laid In streets through which the carriage might pass and adherents liberally sup plied with hand bombs to throw in case the mines failed. As the carriage approached the bridge over the Cath erine canal Rysakoff pressed forward through some workmen shoveling snow and threw the first bomb. It fell behind the carriage, tearing out the back, and wounding two cos sacks. The emperor stepped out of his carriage, and as ho did so the second bomb, thrown Ivy Grenevitsky, fell and exploded at his feet, breaking both legs and penetrating his abdomen. The em peror died two hours after the explo sion of the bomb at his feet. Frag ments of the bomb killed and wounded people in every direction, the bomb thrower himself being killed. This successful attempt was the result of a widespread plot In the Russian branch of anarchistic Europe. Five of the conspirators were hanged. The killing of President Carnot of France at Lyons on June 24, 1894, and the assassination of Premier Canovas on Aug. 8. 1897. were still fresh In the memory of Europe when the third out rage in four years was committed at Geneva. President Carnot’s assassin, Santo, rushed upon the president's car aiage and plunged a poulard into the body of his victim, for which he lost his head. Golli.- the assassin of Ca no vas, used a plstoi on the Spanish premier at Santa Ague, a Spanish summer resoit, and lie also suffered death for his madness.

At La Teste de Buch, France, a statue of I)r. Jean Harneau was un veiled recently. He was an obscure medical practitioner, who, in 1836, published a study on virus in which he partially anticipated the discover ies of Pasteur. AAA^VNA^VVNAAA^VVVVWWVAA.^'VV Once a Man of fiote. William A. Grosvenor, whose death in the east has caused but scant at tention, was, thirty years ago, one of the most widely known editors in the United States. He reached the height of his fame and influence as editor of the Missouri Democrat (now the St. Louis Globe Democrat) in 1870, when, in conjunction with Carl Schurz, ha organized the movement which led to tho formation of the Liberal Repub lican party. It was in his little office, In the Democrat building, corner of Fourth and Pine streets, St. Ixmls, that he planned the campaign which began with the passage of the enfran chisement act by the Missouri legis lature and the defeat and death of Horace Greeley. ffot Ox)er yet. The Boer war has given rise to a peculiar discussion in Germany. Most of the devout Christians there have been praying for the success of the Boers, and the religious press of Ger many has been practically unanimous In opposition to England. These news papers and many clergymen urged that prayers be offered for the success of the Boer arms, and the suggestion was followed widely. The religious press predicted that the prayers would be heard aud that they would be effica cious in bringing about the defeat of the English. But thus far the *war has gone woefully against the pray ers. Yet ft is not over. Things may take a turn.—Ex. Hritain'j Agent in China. Sir Claude Maxwell Macdonald British minister to China, is a noted British diplomat, a K. C. B. of the creation of 1898, and for several years has lived in the far east (China and Corea) as a diplomatic agent of the United Kingdom. He was educated at Sandhurst, and when a youth he entered the Seventy-fourth Highland ers. He won the brevet of major In 1882, and in that year served through the Egyptian campaign. He was In the Suakim expedition. 1884-5, and won the medal with three c;asp3, the Khedive’s star and the fourth class Order of Osmanich. For five years he was a diplomatic agent in Egypt. In a study of American politics which appeared in a recent number of the London Chronicle it was pointed out that out of the twenty-five presidents of the United States all but one have been of British family origin. Fif teen, headed, by Washington, came of English stock. Three, including Jamea Munroe, had Scotch ancestors. One, Thomas Jefferson, inherited pure Welsh blood, while five others traced their lineage to Seotch-Irlsh ancestry. Trying to Tart Convict > > Mother and Child. The entire state of New Jersey is in ; i turmoil about one small baby and | ts mother. The child is named Charles ' Edward Mason, rfter his father. It s a bright, ehubby little youngster, i tnd was born in the New Jersey State ' prison, not quite three years ago. The uother, Anne Mason, was at the time I sentenced to serve five years in prison >n her third conviction for theft. Now he philanthropists want to take the >aby from her. give it a good home tnd make a useful elt'zen of the in* elllgent little fellow. The mother, aowever. insists upon keeping It, uud prominent ministers say that she ihoultl have It, as if auything will lead ti» the woman's reformation this 1 child will do it, and it may be her sal vation. The prison keeper also says it should be allowed to remain with the mother, but Governor Voorhees declares that the two should be separated at once and for good. There is no law that provides for an Innocent child ltclng kept In prison, and no law that enables the authorities to take It from her at present. The philanthropists say. however, that the woman Is hopelessly degenerate, and if they cannot per suade her to give up the child they mean to find ways to take It from her. If they do, New Jersey may furnish one of the most unique legal battles o’j recent years THK KILLINU or PNMMIItICNT ('AH MOT AT LYON A. rUA.V'K JINK JL 1»>L OITLOOK TOR STATf fAIR.
