That you will ever continue to be as in the past the foremost defender of your coun try's honor I know full well, and your fortunes will always be followed ty me with deep feelings of pride and Interest. "George V." John E. Iiedmond, leader of the Irish parliamentary party, has written to Pre mier Asqultli reminding him of the favor able expressions, when recently the ques tion was raised In Parliament by the duke of Norfolk, the foremost Catholic in Eng land, of abolishing from the declaration, which the monarch must make before a new . parliament of the ancient words: "abjuring the Church of Rome," which Mr. Redmond declares, are must offensive to all Catholics. Cabinet Takes Action. The cabinet today decided to Introduce a , bill, amending the declaration of the king, wherein , he asserts his disbelief In the substantiation and adoration of the virgin and saints and that he makes the declara tion without mental reservation or dispen sation from the pope or other authority. For the declaration that the foregoing doctrines and the mass "are superstitious ind Idolatrous," it is proposed to substitute die words, "are contrary to my belief," nd omit reference to the pope. The majority of the members of Parlia ment are believed to favor these change but the Orsnaemen and extreme Protes tants will oppose them. The Catholics wish the entire declaration abolished, but the law officer" of the crown consider such a safeguard against a Catholic mon arch necessary. It was definitely announced tonicht that Mr. rtoosevelt s lerture at Oxford univer sity, which was scheduled for May 18 has been postponed. l.ate tonight the body of King Edward enclosed In an oaken casket was trans ferred to the throne room of Buckingham palace, where It rests on a catafalque, coveted with the same purple pH which enshrouded the coffin of Queen Victoria.

Many floral offerings coming from abroad will be deposited In the throne room, where the body will remain until It is removed to Westminister hall.

Miss Hurley, lived at 2417 California Btreet. Friends of both Dr. Peterson and Miss Hurley say the news of the wedding is a surprise to them. (From a ftaff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Neb., May 11-tSpeclal Tele gram.) J. W. Crabtree, principal of the Peru Normal school, answered last night tho report of Luther P. Ludden sectetary of the State Normal board, tiled some weeks ago. After discussing the two statements for some time, the board agreed to take them up at the next meeting. Mr. Crab tree's statement was divided under the fol lowing heads: "Private Water Connec tions." "Oak Glenn," "State's Ice," "Gaso line," "Paying of Interest," "Trlpllcata Ileceipts." "Private Music," "Horace Mann Statue" and "Mutton." At the conclusion of the Crabtree state ment Mr. Ludden announced that his re port and that of the pi-tnclpal agreed ex cept probably in the matter of gasoline. In his report Mr. Ludden showed that two barrels of gasoline had been charged to the state and delivered tb T. J. Majors, and later had been paid for by Majors, not, however, until the vouchers to pay the bill, endorsed by the authorities at Peru nor mal, had been filed with the board. Mr. Crabtree read letters from the Stan dard Oil company showing that , Colonel Majors had sent his check tot the gasoline some time In December and that the voucher had been Included In the bunch filed with the board by mistake. ' Mr. Lud den said he had seen the books of the com pany prior to the date of the major's letter from the company and at that time the gasoline was charged to the state, lie asked Mr. Crabtree if the letter had not been daud back, but the question, was not answered. Mr, Ludden also volunteered the Information that the manager of the Standard Oil company was asked about this matter and replied that regardless of the date Mr. Ludden saw in the books, the letter carried a date which settled the matter. Mr. Crabtree said he had been instructed by the board to connect his home with the normal water mains and 'this state ment was agreed to by Ludden, who in sisted, however, that he knew, nothing of any agreement about Oak Glenn, the Crab tree dormitory. Mr. Crabtree produced letters from J. L. McBrlen saying he re membered that had been done with the sanction of the board. Crabtree said he had taken very ' little ice from the state's Ice house for his own use, then in case of sickness. The statement of Mutton, he said, con sisted of eight sheep heads used by one of the classes for which was no charge, ex cept the freight. He maintained that he paid the Interest on money borrowed to keep the school going by orders of the defunct board, which statement was denied by Ludden, who said a payment had been made after the court had decided the old board was defunct. Crabtree then ex plained that the payments had been made monthly. This money was paid out of the book fund. 'in the employment of a music teacher, Crabtree said he had simply followed pre cedent and did not know he was violating the orders of the board. The Horace Mann statue, he said, was paid for by orders of the board and so far as the triplicate receipts are concerned be had done the best he could to follow orders. Mr. Crabtree doubted that any private home in Peru was connected with the normal water plant and that he had given orders to disconnect Oak Glenn. The meeting was very harmonious and little feeling was shown. The board elected If. H. Hahn of Blair to be dean of the college of education the Wayne Normal. President Conn was Instructed to discuss with the citizens of Wayne the time for taking over the school by the state. The state will have no money to run this Institute until after the legis lature makes an appropriation. W. J. Assenmaucher of Lincoln got the contract for building the administration building at Peru for 132.630. The appro prlatlon Is $40,000. E. Dovall of Auburn got the contract for plumbing and heating for $3,643 and the American Electric company of St. Joseph the contract for wiring for $094, Franchise for Public Utilities to Be Taken Up City Council Prepares to Find Out the Status of All These Corporations. There will be lltlte or no summer vaca tion for the city council of Omaha, ac cording to present Indications. The court decision In the case against the Omaha Electric Light, and Power company has started the councllmen , Investigating and figuring as to the exact status of all fran chises or alleged rights to use the streets and alleys, and almost every member has reiched the conclusion that the movemen. from now on means a threshing out to a finish of the whole question of franchise. The city attorney's department is hold ing that certain of the public corporations, possibly all of them, have no franchise at all, and while some of the councllmen will not go that far, they are In the humor to find out Just what the franchise rights of the companies are. This ascertained, then will come up the question of what the city can do. or ought to do, in treating with the corporations concerned. On the return of Mr. Fred Nash from the east, probably Friday morning, the council men are expecting to hear a proposition on behalf of the Omaha Electric Light and Power company in the line of a new agree ment for the use of the streets and alleys. Before going east Mr. Nash said his com pany would ask for a fifty-year franchise, but this time limit did not meet with any particular favor - from the ' councilmen. Twenty-five years Is about the outside limit the council seems willing to consider. It seems assured, too, that the council will not take up the electric light proposi tion seriously until word has been received from the telephone and street car com panies In response to the resolutions of Councilman Bridges, adopted by the coun cil Tuesday evening. Each company is al lowed thirty days In which to answer-concerning Its claims as to franchise or other rights. An American King; Is the great king of cures.

DIRGES FROM THE GREAT Dnal Inspirations vf Heart and Drain Wrought tn Epitaphs. The epitaph which Mark Twain chose for his wife is chiseled on the simple head stone that marks her grave. , To our mind there could hardly be a more beautiful inscription. It is Instinct with tho overpowering feeling that takes no thought of language,- and therefore takes no words of sublime . simplicity. What agonies of heart and brain do we find distilled In these eight lines: Warm summer sun, ishlno kindly here. Warm southern wind, Blow softly here. Green sod above. Lie light, lie light. Good night, dear heart; Good night, good night. Literary men have a way of utilizing their experiences for literary material. But occasionally there comes an experience too large and deep for anything save the simplest, briefest utterance. -Volumes have been mads of what we here find reduced to a simple, luminous point of feeling. - Mark -Twain's Inscription for his wife's grave Is even .finer, In our opinion, than the one Robert Louis Stevenson wroto for his own. And the latter"-' certainly deserves to rank, as a master piece of its kind; the expression of a brave soul and a kind heart much In love with life, but. not finding death either exigent -or unlovely; Under the wide and starry sky Dig the grave. and let me lie. Glad did I live and gladly die. And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you grave for me: nere ne lies where he longed to be; Home is the sailor, home from the sea, And -the-hunter home from the hill. The tone .of . these two poems naturally leads one ' back to another which would make the subllmest of epitaphs: tho wonderful dirge In "Cymbeline." . Where beauty of feeling are In question one Is always likely to return to Shakespeare. And where . will you find words more majestic than these: Fear no more the heat o" the sun. Nor the furious winter rages; Thou thy worldly task hath done, Home art gone and ta'en thy wages. Fear no more the frown o' the great. Thou art past the tyrant's stroke; Care no more to clothe and eat; To thee the reed Is as the oak. . Fear no more the lightning flash, Nor th" all-dreaded thunderstone; Fear not slander, censui-e rash; Thou hast finished Joy and moan; All lovers young, all lovers must Consign to thee, and come to dust. To return from the- sixteenth to tho twentieth century from Shakespeare to Mark Twain. Soon the shaft will rise abovo the grave where lies the body of our great, our genial humorist. Would not this in scription fitly express the national senti ment and the solemn truth: Thine Is the happy portion The happiest only gain: To comfort those who mourn thee, To go and still remain!

A courttermovement of immigration from Canada into the United States has appar ently set in, if the influx "over the line" Into northern Montana may fairly be taken as Indicative of the present trend. Accord ing to an official report by United States Collector of CuBtoma Blair at Sweetgrass in that state, hundreds of families have come over from Canada within the last week and have taken up government lands In Montana. This movement began early In the winter and has Increased each day until the total of newcomers from across the. line has reached many thousands. These newcomers are very largely men and women who had given -up their citizenship In the United States In order to take up Canadian government lands; some of them have been in Canada long enough to prove up their homesteads, but large numbers of them have come back without waiting to obtain title to their government lands or have sold their relinquishments or deeded the lands. So there would appear to be no call for official or other action in this country to "stem the tide" of American im migration into Canada. These things al ways adjust themselves If let alone. The Canadian land boom, the "call to the far northwest" caught many thrifty American farmers no doubt, who, had they taken thought and deliberately measured the chances for the success, of the failure of the experiment., would never have "pulled up stakes" and il la this class, apparently, that is now moving southward Into "the states;" others will stay and fight it out, of course. The incident Is at least begin ning to disclose that there is an unstable and migratory contingent among our north western farmers that ia never quite satis fled with existing conditions. The great bulk of our northern and western farmers must sooner or later' leant, however, that If a change la dsslrabls. tb south holds out The New Illustrated DICTIONERY Literary, Scientific, Encyclopedic, Pronouncing and Defining Based on the Latest Authorities.

New SAW HALLEY'S COMET IN 1835 Oldest Man In the I nited Mates It emits the Mriinae Phe nomena. The oldest man in the L'nlted States, and probably the oldest man In the world, said that he has a faint recollection 'f Halley's comet, which flashed acros-i the heavens 'way buck in 1833. l-'ew persons on this terrestrial globe in the preso-il age live to see the comet once, but Mr. Abraham Lewis Kalinnky, who recently pasxed his 116th birthday, will probably enjoy the rare and wonderful distinction of seeing the scientific phenomena twice. It may be of interest to note that on the first occasion Mr. Kolinsky was 41 years old. Mr. Kallnsky's eyes lighted up with Interest when he was asked whethat he could recall the phenomena of seventy five years ago. "It was on a Sabbath day that the bright star wns first seen." the old man began in Yiddish. "We were in the synagoguo, and as I looked through the window,'! beheld a brinht ball of fire. In a few minutes we were on the street looking skyward with deep and benign reverence. Some on shouted that Uod was not satisfied with the conduct of the inhabitants of this mundane globe and would destroy all. We ran to the synagogue." At this Juncture Mr. Ka Husky ceased talking and for a l"ni; time sat In deep thought. Mis. Kallnsky. who. by the way. Is only BO years old, approached the chair and patted him on the shoulder. "Near noddyshalmt, tho vlllfige In whiph I lived, there had been slight earthquakes," continued Mr. Ko linsky, "and it struck us that the two events were warnings from the Almighty. We returned to the synagogue and prayed that we be not destroyed. 'We saw the blaze of fire for several weeks and in our country the end of tho world wus expected momentarily. There was much talk and apprehension and busi ness was entirely suspended."
