KING EDWARD VII. WILL
HAVE A ROYAL GOOD TIE
Politics and Affairs of State Will Be Left to
the Salisburys and Chamberlains*
HE WILL THEN ENJOY HIMSELF
By MAURICE H- MINTON.
(Copvriehl; all rights reserved.)
King Edward, in the first thirty days
of his reign, has set at rest all specula?
tions as to the. kind of ruler he will he.
The apprehension that he would attempt
to reclaim the powers exorcised by the
rronarchs previous ?o the accession of
Victoria proves to have been without
?foundation except in the minds of ser?
vilo flatterers that hud their own selfish
objects in view, and sought to achieve
them by an exhibition of abject subser?
viency. All that h- has said and done
thus far plainly indicates that he will
he ? strictly constitutional monarch in
tho modern English meaning of the term.
Paving lo the ministry the actual work
of govrning the empire, and contenting
himself with the discharge of those or?
namental functions which "are. nearly all
that is left of the monarchial system in
England. This policy will be acceptable
to all English political parties and as?
suredly make him as popular as was
his mother. In addition, it. will add to
his personal comfort, of which he is ex?
ceedingly fond, and enable him to grat?
ify his intensely strong passion for all
tho fanfaronade of royalty.
WELL FITTED TO IT.
The seventh Edward will fit admirably
5nto this system of government. He is
to the manner born. He is content to be
a king withoirt kingly powers. In other
?words, he wi? leave to the Salisbury:*!
and Chamber? tins and their successors
in the mutation?: of politics, ihe real
?task of dirocri'.'g the destines of the
greatest of empires. He conclusively prov
?r-d this when, after going in gorgeous
state to open Parliament, he read the
speech that Lord Salisbury wrote for
him. But ?t the same time he resolutely
insisted upon tho observance of all the
regal proprieties, as in tne oiu days, when
imperialism was not a fiction, as it has
become in the opening hours of the twen?
tieth century. The proudest nobles were
compelled to masquerade around him or
forfeit their hereditary privileges. They,
the real rulers of the empire, were forced
to take their places as coroneted lac?
queys of royalty. Had they refused, it
would have been revolution, a dynamite
protest against royal sham and tinsel
humbuggery of the people that might
destroy them all as the Bourbon dynasty
and aristocracy were destroyed in the
volcanic upheaval which convnlscd
France and finally overturned every
ihrone in Europe more than a century
ago.
A ROYAL GOOD TIAIE.
King Bdward's policy is plainly laid
down. Sixty years old, he means, while
he lives, to have a royal good time in a
high social sense. All the stately cere?
monial of the court, to which the Eng?
lish people have been so long unaccus?
tomed, will be revived. This will help
trade, and in England the monarchs that
can accomplish that is very nearly cer?
tain of popular canonization. As Prince
of AATales, the King was not a model of
the virtues -which the Lords spiriiual. in
silk and lawn, are in the habit of urg?
ing young men sedulously to practice. In
tho imperial prominence given to Queen
Alexandria, the intimation is plainly con?
veyed that no new chapters will bo writ?
ten in that part of the life of the King;
that his court will merit the commen?
dation which Tennyson, in his famous
poem, bestowed on that of A'ictoria. Any
other kind of a court in the opening cen?
tury would be an anachronism.

Gi-alt tho handwriting exjierts by Judge
1" rrsniaii in tho Kennedy murder trial

t? ? the adml?sibilily of *'cxpert" medical

"professional expert" witness is ended
in the United States. 31 is supreme dom
ii ?ition of the Molineux trial gave rise to
general disi rust among the members of
ih?? legal profession and the public. Not

and Ute abolition of the '"expert" in all

NOTABLE CASE IN QUESTION.
When the ?-leverness of forgeries of
?v. cry-day occurrence is recognized, it is
easy to eeo how a case can in- manufac?
tured against any suspect if the prosecut?
ing ofllcers bo venal. There is no insinu?
ation that anything of this kind has been
attempted; li t every newspaper report?
er in New A'nrk has encountered cases
in which "plants" of counterfeit plates,
stolen poods <t other convicting proofs
have been made in the houses or offices
of suspect.-;.
A man by lire- name of Giblin is serving
? life-semen?*?? In this Stale because he
?nfTcred v. count?-: >'n bill at a bakery, was
f! upon, and in tho melee a. woman in
the shop was r cidentally shot by the
baker's pistol. To convict the poor archi?
tect it was m sary to show that lie
"?eras engaged ;.\ tho commission of a fc
?Jonious act. He swore he. didn't know the
bill was counterfeit. No other spurious
money was found on his person or at his
homo in a tellement. But the police made
a case by "rinding" some old counterfeit
plates in a closet in the prisoner's rooms.
The jury took the word of the police. Of
course, the. handwriting "expert" did not
cut any ligure in this case, but the
"plant" was everything.
Looking back over the past fifteen years
in which the "chirographic export" has
had his innings we rind that he has fig?
ured in many important ?-ases not capi?
tal. The Dodge case at Plymouth, ?. H.,
in 3SK", is memorable. J. A. Dodge was
president of the Boston and Concord rail?
road, and a wealthy man. 3 lis confiden?
tial secretary was Henry Raymond, of
excellent reputation, and superintendent
of a Sunday-school. Mr. Dodge died in
August, 3.S82, and a few hours before his
<3eath a elieclc for $2,500, signed by him,
was presented, at a local liank by Ray?
mond and cashed without question. Just
after the funeral Raymond presented to
the widow a note for $5,000, signed by
Dodge, that he alleged was given him as
a reward for his life-long devotion. Mrs.
Dodge, who enjoyed lier husband's bus?
iness confidence, repudiated the note. She
was interviewed by the newspaprs and
denounced Raymond as a swindler. Ho
sued for libel. Popular sympathy was
with Raymond. The plaintiff's case was
very strong. Daniel Ames, of New Tork,
appeared for Mrs. Dodge and produced
enlarged photographs of Dodg'e's signa?
ture to his wil!,/and swore that both
signatures to check and note were forg?
eries. The distinctions were based on in?
finitesimal differences in shading and
loop. Raymond lied, and his flight was
accepted as confession.
ALLEGED CASE OF FORGERY'.
The will case of miser Paino, in this
city, in 3SS(>, developed an alleged attempt
to get away with about half a million
dollars. Paine lodged in a garret and

cab on Broadway. He was removed to
his garret home, where he soon died.
Then a man come forward with a power
of attorney to take charge of his property
that he said Paine had given him in 1SS5.
"When the fact became public, Mr. Chick
oring. the piano man, came forward and
stated that some years before Paine had
given him, for safekeeping, a package
wrapped in a handkerchief. After Paine's
death he had opened tiie package, to ?ind

was so held.

volving $13,000,000, was equally memorable.
SPECIAL F BATO RES.
William J. Kinsley was encountered by
me since tbe Fursman decision, and said:
"A forger cannot avoid that of which he
lias no knowledge?he docs not step
around that which he doesn't see. Three
things are impossible to the forger: 1. To
know all the characteristics of the hand
h?* wishes to simulate; 2, To be able to ac?
curately reproduce them if he should sea
them: ;:. To know all the characteristics
Of'his own hand and to obliterate them.
Pictorial effects will deceive anybody. A
forgery is bound to look like the original
and those 'who judge handwriting only
by pictorial effect are bound to be de?
ceived. If the Fursman decision stands
many a guilty rogue will escape."
Commercial law and its complications
are the real field of the expert in hand?
writing. Forgery is one of the highest
crimes known to the law, and that is the
"expert's" legitimate held. Tho motive
to get money is universal. Honest men
overcome all inclinations to attain th?iir
ends unlawfully. Ivnaves yield to the in?
stinct imbedded in their nature by some
ancestor of the stone age. He is an enemy
to society.

MANCHESTER HAS LOCAL PRIDE.
Her Citizens Patronize Home Indus?
tries in a Great ?Measure.
The citizents of Richmond' should not
imagine that all of th? goods consumed
in Alanchester arc bought ia Richmond.
To the contrary a great portion of them
are bought from Manchester merchants?
a case iu point is that of Landori P.
Jones, who for years conducted a shoe
store at the corner of Twelfth and Hull
Streets, aud sold to the best people of
Alanchester their line and substantial
shoes. His- store was a perfectly con?
ducted and up-to-date establishment, and
his stock was in perfect order. There
came to him an appointment to engage
in a manufacturing enterprise which
necessitated his immediately .selling out
his retail shoe business. He found only
one lirni who were willing? to buy him
out quickly for cash and he was virtually
compelled to accept their offer, though it
was at a great loss. Now all Manchester
is coming to Richmond for their shoes?
whole 'families, men, women and children
are trooping to The Meyer Store, Foushee
and Broad, where Jones' line shoes arc
being sold for less price than the com?
monest kinds. While Jones' shoes are* all
of the most substantial qualities, they ari
not all of the latest stylos, and these
styles of former seasons The Meyers are
selling especially low. Some shoes at
severity-live cents arc those that Jones
sold for as much as three dol?ais. This
is particularly true of men's simes, for
The Aleycr Store had no men's shoe de?
partment and were compeliera to piace
the.m on sale in the men's clothing de?
partment.
"Customers who lia?! not heard of our
purchase of Jones' stock, but saw the
shoes during their visits ? to the store
Saturday Avere astonished at the quaiitv
oC slices being sold for 50c, 75c, $1. $1.23
and $1.50, and oar sales were the greatest
in the history of this business." said the
manager o? Aleycr's shoe department.
"But we'll have the greatest number of
shoe-buyers this week, for a sale of such
merit grows as the news spreads."

HOT FIGHT FOR
CITY CHAIRMAN
Mr, Puller Being Urged Against Mr.
Doherty.
SEVERAL VACANCIES TO FILL.
Forecast of City Committee's New Members.
Interesting Developments May Take
Place in Gubernatorial Race.
Mr. Swanson Expected.
The coming week promises to be a very
live one in local politics, and there may?
be some very interesting events in the
gubunatorial situation as well.
Chairman James ??. Gordon yesterday
issued a formal call for a meeting of
the City Democratic Committee, to take
place at Murphy's Hotel on Friday even?
ing at S o'clock, and the session bids
fair to be full of interest.
It is probable that the first business
in order will be the resignations of Chair?
man James W. Gordon, Hon. R. Carter
Scott, and Mr. Hill Montague, who will
retire in order to run for the Constitu?
tional Convention. This will leave four
vacancies on the committee, there being
one at present in Marshall Ward, oc?
casioned by the resignation of Mr. James
M. N. Allen, who was recently elevated
to the Common Council.
The vacancies will be filled Friday
night, and it is probable that the follow?
ing gentlemen will be chosen: From
Clay Wr.rd, to succeed Mr. Montague,
Mr. Phil B. Sheild; Monroe Ward, to suc?
ceed Messrs. Gordon and Scott, Messrs.
J. C. Brockenl>rough and Russell Bar
gamin; Marshall Ward, to succeed Mr.
Allen, Mr. J. W. Woodward.
THE FIGHT FOR CHAIRMAN.
It was thought until yesterday that
since the declination of Captain Cunning?
ham Hall to run for chairman, to succeed
Mr. Gordon, l^abor Commissioner James
B. Doherty would have a clear field, and
would be chosen without opposition, but
the friends of Mr. Ordway Puller, of
Monroe Ward, have brought strong pres?
sure to bear on him to become a candi?
date, and it is thought that he has about
made up his mind to do so.
It is urged that while Mr. Doherty is
a. good man for the place, his duties as
Labor Commissioner might prevent him
from giving proper atttmtion to the in?
tricate work entailed upon a chairman,
and that Mr. Puller is down town and
in close active touch with the political
situation at all times.
Mr. Puller has no special aspirations
to be chairman', and while lie has not
yet declared his purpose to run. it is
practically certain that he will ibe in the
race. He is a young lawyer oi splendid
character and ability and ln^'friends are
predicting that he will win out and make
an admirable executive officer.
AN ICARIA' PRIMARY.
It seems fairly certain that the com?
mittee wili fix an cai'ly date for holding
th?? primary to nominate tho convention
candidates. A prominent leader said yes?
terday that he thought a majority of the
members of the committee fa\-ored as
early a date as April 2d. and h<; would
not bo surprised should that be chosen.
The plan will be like that usually
adopted to nominate candidates for the
House of Delegates, and the polls will
probably be opened at sunrise and closed
at sundown.
There was some talk yesterday of tho
committee making a. plan which would
exclude as candidates all those who did
not support Mr. F.ryan at the last presi?
dential election, but it is hardly thought
this will be done.
MR. SWANSON EXPECTED.
I bui. ?.'laude A. Swanson is <*xpeeted
hero next Saturday night to speak 3>orore
the Alumni Society of liis old college
fraternity, anil it is thought ho will
come down from Washington several
days in advance and take some ste:*s
looking'jAtt3io opening of his headquart?
ers hercKvhich. it is understood, ho will
have at-Murphy's Hotel.
Taken altogether, the week is going to
be a most interesting one in politics,
fur while the City Committee will meet
to transact the business indicated above,
and Mr. Swanson is expected to lay some
political pip?s, the friends of the other
aspirants for the various offices to be
tilled during the year will not be idle.
It is possible that Mr. Echols may come
down during the week and Mr. Monta?
gue and his friends will continue their
usual hot pursuit for delegates in Rich?
mond.
prom ? ?*??:?t lea \:. ers.
Colonel R. C. Marshall, of Portsmouth,
and State Senator John L. Jeffries, of
Culpeper, were in the city yesterday and
called on Secretary Joseph T. DaA-less at
the hitter's office. When "ocularly asked
what excuse they could give for their
presence in Richmond on such a tine
spring day. Senator Jeffries replied that
he came down to "look alter some pri?
vate matters," while Colonel Marshall
said: "I'm not going to tell any story
about it; I ran up to look after votes
for R. C. Marshall for Governor and to
put a few rails on my fences."
Senator Jecries tlieii remarked that he
liad placed the top rail on his fence for
Attorney-General, and all lie had to do
was to "keep the other fellows from tak?
ing it off.
Mr. Jeffries was here to visit his little
daughter, who is attending the Woman's
College. Both he and Colonel Marshall
left for their respective homes last night.
A PECULIAR CASE,.
Deposition in Unique Suit Over Vaccination
in Winston, N. C.
Messrs. Clement Mauley and J. E. Alex?
ander, prominent atorneys of Winston
? C, were iu the city several days ago
for the purpoc of taking the depositions
of Dr. Newton McGuire to be used in a
case how pending in the courts of that
city.
The case, which is a peculiar one,
originated when Co smallpox epidemic
broke out in Winst?n, January of 1000.
Dr. Newton was employed by the city
to vaccinate the citzens. Mr. A. A. Savory
refused to be vaccinated, when Dr.
Newton offered his services free of
charge, he being one of the free physi?
cians employe?! by the city to do this
work. Mr. Savery was thereupon ar?
rested and fined $50 and costs, in de?
fault ot chicli he was sent to jail. He
was released in a few days, and imme?
diately began sr.it against the city of
Winston and he former mayor, J. G.
Griffith, for $10,000. The ?Ity won its
case aud now it is being carried to a
higher court.
The two lawyers, Mr. Manley, repre?
senting the city, and Mr. Alexander,
representing Mr. Savery, took the evi?
dence of Dr. Newton.

GOVERNOR MAY GO
UNOFFICIALLY
Will Probably Leave for Washington
To-Morrow?Dull Day at
State Offices.
Governor Tyler has about decided to
go to the inauguration as a private
citizen, and will probably leave here to?
morrow- morning. Several members o?
his staff will most likely accompany him
unofficially, among them being Col. W.
O. Skelti.ni, chief or staff. The Gover?
nor has been so very busy with routine
matters since his return from New
York that he has not hau time to a
range to attend the inauguration officially
which he would like to have done.
Governor Tyler yesterday Offered a re?
ward o? ?50 tor the recapture of Daniel
Hall, who, on the night of February 23d,

cently served out his second term In that
Institution, lie was under f.nflietment
and awaiting trial on the charge of mur?

are very anxious to apprehend him.
