Madrid, May 19.—King Alfonso at
tained his majority Saturday and be
came king: in fact, as well as In name,
having1 reached the-ago, 16, prescribed
by the eotL&titutlon.
Beautiful werther favored this, the
central dfly.of the fetes. At an early
hour all the bands of music of the
troops composing1 the garrison
marched through the principal streets
playing lively marches, to the r.oynl
paloOe, where they performed benesfth
ilTf windows of tho king's-apartments.
The royal procession wae formed on
the Pia^a de Armas, in front of the
palace, shortly before two p. m., and
proceeded to the chamber of deputies,
where, in the presence of the senators
end deputies, the king took the oath
to ugliold the constitution.
jneaievm AiagiUnccncc,
The procession was a spectacle of
medieval magnificence. A detachment
of the royal "body guard rode in front
of thednassively gilded chariot termed
the
"Royal Crown," having gilt alle
gorical figures standing out in relief
from
the
panels, and whose roof was
NWttr-
surmounted by ti lieavy, gilded crown.
The gold plated, molded Jamps of this
carriage were especially striking, be
ing inset with imitation jewels. The
hammer-cloth, a wonderful piece of
embroidery work, is valued at $18,000.
^The king and the queen regent were
seated side by aide in the royal coach,
and were accompanied by the Infanta
Chamber of Deputies, Where Alphonso Was Crowned.

majesty. It was drawn by eight fine
speckled grays, in dark red harness,

household and three squadrons of the
royal bodyguard closed the parade.

Sfnt and the prince and princess of
the Asturfus, ascended a platform, spe
cially constructed, facing the semi
circular, gilded hall, around which tlie
benches wore filled to their capacity bj
senators, deputies, courtiers and min
ist«rs. The foreign princes and other
special envoys were seated immediate
ly to t.he right of tlie platform, which
was draped with red. Four gilded arm

a table, on which was a Bible, with a
eilver crucifix behind it. On the other
aide of his majesty was a stool, upon
^vhich was a golden crown, blazing
jwith jewls, and a scepter.
As the royal party entered the Jiall,
everyone present rose and remained
standing until the queen regent pro

Tlie president of the chamber,

New York, May 19.—Ferdinand
Clerc, a millionaire, and mayor of
Trinite, is one of the few persons
5vho witnessed the eruption of Mont
Pelee and lived to tell about it, says
a dispatch to the World from St.
Marie, Martinique. He Bays on the
morning of May 8 he noticed the
rumblingB from the volcano which
were louder than they had been up to
that time. The barometer in his house
fluttered violently and he at once noti
fied his servants to harness mules to
his carriage and prepare for flight.
Clerc took his wife and four children
with him and rushed from the city.
He warned all his friends to hasten
away also, but his advice was dis
credited.
He left behind him at the house
£8 of his friends gathered at his call
and whom he advised to get away as
quickly as they could. As Clerc and
his family were leaving St. Pierre, he
saw Mr. Prentis, the American con
sul, standing in front of his house
with Mrs. Prentis. Mr. Clerc called
out to Prentis and warned him to
flee the city at once, but the consul
only laughed and waved his hand as
he- answered: "Oh, there is no dan
ger. Don't be afraid."
When Clerc reached Morne Eouge,
distant from St. Pierre about six
miles, he looked back and saw a huge
mass of slate colored stones and
ashes burst from Mont Pelee and
tumble down on St. Pierre. This wa
immediately followed by a great wall
of flame which seemed to rise and
topple over on the doomed town
The whole thing lasted not more
than two minutes.
So shortly defined was the fall of
flame that a bull caught on the edge
of its tracks was roasted to a crisp
on one side and not a hair of the ani
mal was singed on the other.

New York, May 19.—The Presby

in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church, with Vice Moderator Daniel

votional service preceded the business
session, which was opened by reading
the
minutes
of

Friday's meeting. The
standing committees were re­
quested to go into session in the
chapel and prepare their reports for
hearings before
the
assembly next
week.
Dr. Parry made a plea for the old
Presbyterian clergymen, and men
tioned many instanoes where superan
nuated clergymen had suffered cruel
want. "Is. this worthy of the wealthy
Presbyterian church?" he asked.
"I know of one instance not long
ago where an old minister 70 years
old died, and had to be given a pau
per's funeral, in a c/hurch where there
were over 70 millionaires. Shame on
siuch a church."
The report of the committee on min
isterial relief was accepted, and it was
agreed that there should be a further
discussion of it next week.

TO QUIT WESTERN JNIOff.
Pennsylvania Nottflea the Company
That It Will Rum Its Own
Telegrapk Llnct,
Philadelphia, May IB.—An official
of the Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany Saturday practically confirmed
the statement that the company has
notified the Western Union Tele
graph company to remove its poles
and wires from the lines controlled
by it. The contract between the rail
road company and the telegraph
company expired in September last
and, according to the Pennsylvania
railroad official quoted, the lattei
has given the Western Union com
pany Bix months from June 1 in
which to remove its wires and poles.
It is stated that this does not neces
sarily mean that the contract be
tween the two companies will not be
renewed. If it is renewed, however,
it is probable that it will be on some
what different terms from the pro
vious contract.

of a good body of timber surrounded
by a splendid farming country. The
Caswell House, kept by Mrs. Caswell,
is certainly a model hotel for this
western world."
"Austin—This town is situated on
the Cedar River,
miles north of the
Iowa state line, has an excellent water
power, a valuable body of timber, and
a range of choice agricultural land
upon each side of the river.
The place has several stores, a popu
lation of about
400,
a Jgood hotel and
that portion of the county records
that escaped the conflagration."
"Stacyville—This town is situated
upon the west bank of the Little Ce
dar, has one of the best agricultural
regions in northern Iowa, surrounding
it, an average supply of timber, con
tains about
30
houses, a passable water
power, a saw mill and a run of stones
for grinding corn. H. I. Stacy, the
proprietor, owns a large amount of
choice land adjoining the town, is one
of the most hospital men in the coun
try."
"Riceville—Is situated on the coun
ty line between Howard and Mitchell
counties, in twp.
99,
and has one of
the most tidy hotels in northern Iowa,
kept by Rice Bros. The proprietors
were from Chautauqua county, N. Y.,
and are genuine specimens of Yankee
go ahead-ativeness. One year ago
they had their sawmill destroyed by
lire, but with the energy that ever
characterizes them, they.immediately
erected another in every respect bet
ter, adding a run of stones for grind
ing corn. Several buildings are going
up in the town, among which is the
foundation for a store."
"Saratoga, has many advantages
but the present prospect for a town is
not very flattering. The hotel kept
by T. J. Gibbons at this place is well
situated for the accommodation of the
traveling public, and is in Jevery way
worthy their patronage."
"Howard Center—Once the rival of
this place for county seat honors Is
a thriving town and shows evidence
of real prosperity."
FATAL ACCIDENT.
Death and Funeral of Custave
Ferdinand Ruschhaupt
The deceased was accidentally
kicked by one of his work horses,in the
abdomen on Wednesday, April 16.
Medical aid was summoned immedi
ately, but it was seen at once that Jit
would prove fatal. He suffered under
great pain for three days and died
Saturday, April 19.
On Tuesday, April 22, his remains
were brought to the E. Z. church in
New Palestine, to which during his
life he was very much attached. Rev.
Karl Meyer preached, assisted by Rev.
John S. Ward, to undoubtedly the
largest audience that ever assembled
here on a funeral occasion. After the
services in the church the remains,
In its beautiful casket, were taken to
the New Palestine cemetery and de
posited in an iron vault and buried in
the family lot.
The deceased was the third born
child Qof the well know family
Henry and Julia Ruschhaupt. He
was born D,ec. 27,1871 and died April
19,1902, at the age of 30 years 3 months
and 23 days.
On July 24,1895, he entered into the
holy bonds of
i'.matrlmory
with Miss
Addle M. Easier, and their married
life has been a very happy one.
He leaves a widow and a son, Wal
ter, three years old father, mother,
three brothers and six sisters, many
other relatives and a host of friends,
to mourn his death, as the large at
tendance at the funeral well demon
strated.
He was an obedient son, a true lov
ing husband and father. Of him it
can truly be said:
"None knew thee flut to love thee
None named thee but to praise."
The whole family has the sympathy
of the entire neighborhood and com
munity and particularly the widow
and child.
As the deceased was much attached
to them, in their domestic affairs and
was getting along so nicely in a real
home with all the comforts of life.
But such Is life. "We seldom begin
to live till we're doomed to die."
In conclusion I must say that a first
class citizen has passed away over the
river and pitched his tent under the
Shades of the Palms.
Dust to dust beneath the sod,
Above it, still to trust in pod,
The curtain falls, the drama's past,
Our friend is with his God at last.
O'er his grave may blooming (lowers,
Breathe fragrance all the shiuing
hours,
While viewless zephyrs passing by,
Shall sing their sweetest lullaby.
