AN EXTRAVAGANT QUEEN. Queen of Holland. From the Scranton Republican, The only queen of today who can match the Empress Eugenie's extravagance of former days is the queen of Portugal, who spends money in the same reckless manner and buys by the wholesale. She does not wait to exam- ine and make her selection before purchasing. She buys all the styles of the day direct from Paris, giving orders for the leading houses to send anything that is new and beautiful, wears lections of dresses, mantles, hats, gloves, boots, laces, &c., arrives from Paris she makes a long study of each article, trying on many times, studying the combination with the lines of her figure, the color of her hair, until she gets a harmony perfect in all its dotails, She is gon- erous and loves to make costly and eocentric gifts, butin that way no one has surpassed the charming idea of the queen of Holland. On her husband's recent birthday she pre- sented him with an enormous bouquet of flowers, of the kind used on benefit nights at opera in Italy, so heavy that it required several serving men to carry it, As it was brought close to the throne the old king stooped forward to examine it, when amidst the flowersthe head of his little infant daughter popped out to the surprise of the monarch and @ amusement of the whole court, —————so0 Winning a Lawsuit Against Himself. From the Minneapolis Tribune. The fact that my friend Prosecuting Attor- ney “Bob” Jameson is defendant in a personal tax suit places him in the curious position of prosecuting himself in behalf of the state. He has employed Miller, Young & Miller to defend him, and a hard legal battle is anticipated, al- though I understand that Colonel John M. Mil ler thinks he has a cinch on the victory. This reminds me of a story I once heard Frank F, Davis tell a few years ago when he was prose- cuting attorney. He was defendant in the same kind of suit as Jameson and prosecuted it so vigorously that he won the suit and had judg- ment entered up against hi: , “that was bad. Did your attor- al the case? i “the judgment still stands,” , in sur) » “wasn't an execu- tion issued against you?” “No,” said he, with a sly twinkle of his eye, “you see the Prosecuting attorney forgot to turn it over to the sheriff. But I believe he paid it just the same, Many years ago, when Judge H. G. Hicks was not as prosperous as he has been in later years, so I am told, he owed a little bill of $25 to a well-known firm, and one of the members came to see him about it. The judge, then lain colonel, lately returned from the war, frankly confessed that he was “busted” and asked for an extension of time, ‘Can't do it,” said the gentleman. “If you don’t pay it, we'll have to sue you.” “How can I Ry money?” asked the httle time.” “Well, we'll have > ne suit," said the gen- off. tleman, as he ‘te on,” said the colonel, as » bright idea struck him, “if P joo must sue me why not give ‘ou will have to employ some me the cuse? lawyer.” bring the suit.” Col. Hicks brought the suit, confessed judg- ment, sent in his bill for €50' attorney's fees, collected it, then settled the ju ent, Fri that time on he had all the setae business. petacnaenatidhane ee st He Missed His Stimulant. From the New Haven Palladium. Said a New Haven business man last eveni: slept well and had cot been out of health in any way and could not account for the condi- tion in which I found myself. After doing the little work that was imperatively necessary I started for a walk, hoping that exercise would help me. I dragged myself along until I had walked three miles and then again tried to at- tend to business, but it was no use, and at noon I went home doubting whether I should be able to come down town again. On the table I found the cup of coffee I had forgotten in the ———_-+ee_____ Timely Talk About Winter Flowers. From the Des Moines Register. over winter should attend to them immediately.

With a view of o ing Mr. Christiani to comply with the act the matter was submitted to Attorney Riddle, after thoroughly investigating the case, ab an opinion sent to the Commissioners) the act ip question to be ineffective, Recently Commissioner Douglass had his at tention called to the fact that there were sons who had not erected fire escapes mf e determined to investigate the matter, The first step in this direction was the issuance of the order published in yesterday's Stax, calling on the inspector of buildings and chief of the fire department for a report of those who had not complied with the act.

Cable Dispatch to the New York Herald. On the third floor there was @ bot fire in the grate and on the coals a medicine kettle steamed. All about were the paraphernalia of the sick room. The curtains were drawn, the lights were low, and the sick man sat near the fire in a large arm- chair draped with blankets, He was very much emaciated, and the pallor of his thin face was heightened by thelong, dark mugtache and the heavy beard that curled over his nightshirt. He had for three months been s prisoner in the room in which g -~ He was sixty-five years of age, an illness, primitively due toa long standing affection of the beart, was made serious by a stroke of paralysis two months ago. This stroke Dr. Carr Beard brought him throngh successfully, and his patient was steadily progressing toward recove ery when he was seized with an attack of bron- chitis, This greatly complicated the symptoms and he was not strong cuough to throw it off. For two weeks past he bad been steadily fail- ing, owing to the lack of nutrition, He could not retain or digest the slighest food. Since Friday his death has been known to be only a matter of time, and loug before midnight it was feared he would not live to see another day. Tis death took place amid perfect calm, he leaning back, with his head buried in a pil in his chair, From time to time the doctor felt the fluttering pulse, whose throbs were growing weaker and more irregular. Now and then the dying man opened his eyes ina vague, dreamy sense of his condition, but that was all, At 10:30 there was a slight convulsive move- ment, his head sank back and when the doctor took his wrist the heart hed ceased to beat.

Next morning as I sat on the veranda smoking « cigar he came along and queried: ‘Let's see. What did you do?” ‘Discovered America,” I soberly replied. “Oh, yes.” He looked disappointed as he went away, and in about ten minutes he returned to say: ve had it all wrong about you.” How?” “Why, I kinder had it that you was from Washington, and I was thinking you might get my boy Sam into some office.” “No, I'm not,” “You are only Christopher Columbus?” “That's ail.” “All you ever did was to discover America?” “That's all.” “Humph! I'll have to charge you extra for them three biled eggs this morning, and the ole woman thinks she ought to have au extra quarter for making real coffee for you.
