The Phonograph plays everybody's music. You can hear upon it just what you like the old ballads, songs that your mother sang when you were a boy, and the latest pop ular sketch from comic opera. They are all sung equally well and are reproduced perfectly in your home by the Phonograph. i ( S S Victor 10 TO 1 35g Records $r oo TO 5.' Jf-' V -- SSk Edi ison 12.

All Portugal is overwhelmed at the killing of tho king und the crown prince. Though torn by Internal dissensions the past few months, uprisings In the stieets, out rages with knife und bomb and al ways fearful lest these signs of revolu tion would culmlnato in somo dreadful outburst of passion, Portugal was not prepared for the blow that fell Satur day, when King Cailos and Prince liUiz Philippe wero shot to death in a public place, whero thousands had gathered' to greet their home-coming. All night Queen Atnello, In tho royal pnlaco, sat between the blors where rested the bodies of her husband and her son, prostrated with grief. Details of Assassination. ' No more beautiful day could be imagined than that which will mark tho day on which King Carlos nnd Crown Prlnco Lulz met their death nt the hands of assassins. Returning from a sojourn nt the king's estate, at Villa Vicosa, uccotupaulcd by the queen, tho ciown prince and tho In fant Mnnuol, tho soveielgn seemingly was in happy mood when he stopped into the cartiago in waiting at tho railroad1 station. All the surrounding Btreeta wore filled with gay, light-1 hearted throngs, waiting to greet the king, and, though guards wero stu-, tloned all along tho route, no ono had thought of tho dastardly attempt J which was to come. Tho pcoplo were nllowed to circulate us freely as they pleased and for a fehort time so great wero tho crowds tho driver of tho car riage had difficulty In making a start. It wbb because of tho beautiful weath er that an open carriage waH In wait ing for the royal family, and when) thoy took tholr places they wero greeted with somo lifting of hats, but mostly In silence.

Tho assassins, numbering six in all, boldly ran up to the sides of the car riage and poured in a hail of bullets before tho stupefied escort could' in tervene. The king and' crown prince, half lining, fell back onto tho cush ions, the blood gushing from many wounds. The coachman brought his whip across the flanks of his horses and with a bound thoy dashed away, disappearing into tho arsenal quad rangle. The panic stricken people, who had lied on all sides, could see the queen leaning over the crown prince ami her younger son, who also was bleeding fiom wounds made by the assassins' bullets. How many shots wore fired no one can say, but It was a verltablo fusil lade coming from the right side of the- street. Tho effoit of tho crown prince, who was sitting opposite to the king, to rise, was pitiful, and with out avuil, for ho just lifted himself sufficiently to jiltch forwnid and fall over tho prostrate body of his father. Queen Amelle, uttering a scream that could be heard by all who had not be come frenzied by the attack, throw herself towards her sous, shielding their bodies with her own. She frnu tlcally struck at the murderers with n bouquet of roses which she had been carrying, but even In tho face of this the men fired again and ngaln. As ho saw his hither and his brother fall, Prlnco Manuel whipped' out a revolver and discharged it at the men, but was himself struck on tho right arm by a bullet f lo in a carbiuo. A footman in the carriage also was wounded, and It was stated that a bullet grazed tho queen's shoulder, hut did not do her harm. Three Regicides Slain. Only mounted pollco accompanied tho carriage, as the king hnd refused military escort. Tho attack came from tho rear, for It was found afterward that the king had been shot In the back of the neck) and It was so en tirely unexpected thut tho murderers had emptied tholr carbines und re volvers almost before the police know what was going on, and had turned to flee into the crowds that now, panic stricken, had dropped back boforo their weapons. Then the guard charged upon them, pursuing them down the street and riddling three or thorn with bullets. Hundreds of tho NEWS OF NEUIUSKA.
