It seems Servia has er had a crown. All the other Georg- tches and Obrenovitches contrived to le without one. Peter knows what a king hpeeds. The first Black George was not amed to charge his shield with pars head. When he was made a nce of the Holy Roman empire he was iven a silver cross on a gold ground, and ® boar was put on a flag upheld by one bt the supporters. The oak leaf, which the family had used as an emblem in its hum- e days of swine herding was retained as minor charge by the Princess Kara- sorgovitch, who adopted also a mailed in commemoration of the great Ser- lan's fight with the Turks. Bo Peter was #ll provided with emblems, and his cou- , Prince Botidar, who is a professtonal gner in Paris, will no doubt turn out wonderful creation, calculated to excite he admiration and loyalty of those who, ‘getful of the circumstances by which be reached the throne, are delighted to that they have a soverelgn who un- erstands what is fitting the dignity of ingship. Tt will be well to remember at this time hat when Japan, by the Intrusion of the ropean powers, was deprived of the fis of vietory on the continent of Asia, o acquiesced in the establishment of orea as an independent kingdom, but fAvised that it would be to the Interests thoss same Occidental powers to de and equal industrial and commercial glon from the Hermit Kingdom. It I8 advice had bieen followed fn all prob- pllity Japan and Russia would not now facing each other; but the powers were icious and declined to take concerted tion in the matter. But what the bwers declined to do concertedly and Nelally was done by individuals and orations, and it 1s worth while pting that an American concern was to obtain a mining concession. nce 13% German, Japanese, English and ich companies have all obtained more lees extensive mining areas in the Her- it Kingdom. The AmeMcan mines give oyment to about 4000 Coreans, and naiderable British capital was embarked the American ventures by some of the ding Bouth African magnates, who, th their labor difficultfes in South frica, appreclated the value of labor at g 15 cents to 30 cents & day for the artisans, so that the company might regarded as an Anglo-American under- ng, although an American company. had 200 head of stamps at work and had d during the present year about $1,000,~ In dividends.

Philadelphia Inquirer. plit | The ¢ RIVER IMPROVEMENT MEETINGS. More Thought Given Improved ways Than Ever Before. 8t. Louls Globe-Democrat. The conventions of this fall In various parts of the Mississippl valley to consider the subject of river improvement are the most Important yet called for the pur- pose In any one year, It Is gratifying to know that a subjct of such moment is be- ginning to attract the attention It deserves. These conventions cover the upper and the lower Mississippl, the Missouri, Ohlo, Tenn- essce, the Kaw and other river systems. The floods of a few months ago emphasized the need of such assem! and the progress of practical Irrigation s another reason Why these gatherings are timely and of Interest throughout the ocountry. Discussion of deeper and better channels, levees, storage reservoirs and modern boa is in order and will advance all sensib) movements to obtain them, The civilized world is giving more thought to improved waterways than at any other period in his- tory. There are honest differences as to how the great navigable rivers of the Mississippt valley can best be made to serve the in- terests’ of a vast population and of the nation generally. The subject is conti- nental in size. Engineers are numerous who claim that sclentific outlcts for the Mississippl are of the first conséquence. In a recent paper read before the Franklin institute, Philadelphia, Louls M. Haupt, C. B, took for his text the cogtrol of Missis- sipp! floods, with improvement of the chan- nel and reclamation of arable lands. He holds that no single evstem will suffice, but that there must be “a combination of impounding reservolrs on the tributaries, especinlly of the western sections, where they may be utilized for Irrigation; refor- estation of the arld regions; levees with a readjusted alignment and low welrs at suit- able points for spillways, to be connected with large subsiding reservoirs In the swampy bayous; and, finally, by the re- moval of the bars at the delta and opening of all the available and possible outlets to permit of a rapid volding of the excess of the floods.” By these measures, Mr. Haupt belleves, the navigable channel will be permanently despened, the flood plane lowered, arable land be reclaimed, the progressive height- ening of levees be rendered unnecessary and the discharge be retained a longer time in lateral basins, where it will be a valu- able feeder to the main trunk. This is a subject of great magnitude. Its considera- tion merits the attention of the best engi- nesrs and wisest statesmen. The debate, by convention and otherwise, should go on steadily. MUNICIPAL PLAYGROUNDS. Thelr Influence Reclaiming Way- ward Youth, Chicago Record-Herald. The “night playground” for men is some- thing new in the way of remedies for crime and vice in the submerged districts. The efficacy of playgrounds an agency for reclaiming wayward youths and as a deter- rent against juvenile vice has been demon- strated so thoroughly that eities do not hesitate to make liberal appropriations for their establishment and maintenance, par- ticularly in the thickly settied tenement dis- But the playground has a larger mission than the saving of wayward youngsters. Chicago's experience with the elght munici- pal playgrounds already opened points to a much larger fleld of usefulness for these recreation places. Lighted by electricity at niglt, and supplied with facilities for ath- letic sports, they have proved a great at- traction for men and a foe to vagrancy, ho- bolsm, and petty crimes. Men who are out of work flock to these playgrounds at night to play base ball and to Indulge In other robust pastimes instead of spending the evenings In saloons and gambling resorts. An filustration of the popularity and use- fulness of these playgrounds is afforded by the Webster grounds at Thirty-third street and Wentworth avenue, which has a “club- house” and a oue-fifth mile cinder running track. The record for attendance was es- tablished by the Webster last month, dur- ing which 32150 persons took advantage of its opportunities for healthful sport. The police report a marked decrease In petty crimes and saloon patronage in the nelgh- borhood of these playgrounds. Crime in children has been fitly charac- terized as “misdirected energy.’ While this definition may not fit the crimes of Its, it is true that the Instinet for pia: nd recreation Is just as strong in grown-ups as m children, and the more opportunities that are provided by the city for both to indulge their love of play the fewer the crimes and minor offenses against civie order. — BZY BRIEFS, ear since Cheer up, girls.

MIDNIGHT WEDDING A CHICAGO FAD Variati in the Value of Wives— $1,000000 for ‘Ome, 8§55 for Another—FPeculiarities of Present-Doy Hitehes. A determined suitor has now found a new way of using the motor car for matrimonial purposes, according to the Parls corre- #pondent of the London Telegraph. The lady was willing, but her parents were obdurate. He pretended to give up hope and be reconciled to the ldea of being merely a friend of the family, and he took out the girl and her father for an auto- mobile drive to Havre. At a dangerous part of the road he suddenly put on the fourth speed, and the car sprang away at & terrific rate. The girl sat still and showed no fear, but her ferrified father shouted 1o the man who wanted to be his son-in-law to stop. “Consent to my marriage with your daughter,” was all the motorist re- plied. Still the car tore along, and if any obstacle had appeared in the road at least three fatalities would have occurred. “Stop! We shall all be killed!" the girl's father continued to cry. ‘“Most certalnly we #hall,” sald the determined young man, grimly, “If you don't consent at once I am going to send the machine into the ditéh, and at this rate that means quick death.” As he spoke he Imparted violent lurches from side to side to the car. “I consent, I consent!" gasped the now van- quished parent. Immediately the ecar slowed down, and the rest-of the journey was done at a steady touring pace. But during the motor's previous mad career a policeman had jotted down its number. When the girl's father, to whom the ma-~ chine belongs, appeared in court in answer to the summons his future son-in-law ac- companied him and looked exceedingly pleased with himself. ‘When a fine of 16 france was imposed the younger man said he would pay it himself, with pleasure. He confided to the magistrate that the day has been named.

Mr. and Mrs. Blaney decided to have a | queer wedding because of the unusual man- ner in which they became acquainted. Last summer Mr Blaney was rowing along the Long Island shore when he heard the screams of a fair bather in th: surf. He rescued the girl and thus learned the name of Miss Kittle Woolfolk. Rescues Bride from Authorities. They met in the shade of the Apennines— not the two above, but the following two. That was elght years ago. They were Giuseppa Salamone, belle of the vale, and Salvatore Basil, a handsome tender of flocks. The other day thelr romance ended ‘In the United States commissioner's office in Brooklyn, a violin, strategy and Cupid foiling laws and jailers. The life upon the Apennines was limited, and the young man wanted larger oppor- tunities. He wanted to give his sweetheart more than the simple flowers he could pick in the flelds, and as they played the violin together he spoke of another land. One day he sald goodby to the girl, and as A troth presented his violin to her. Presently there came a message across the sea telling her to come to him, which she did. A disappointment was the first thing she met. In her eyes, glistening with tears of joy, were found the germs of trachoma. Of course, she did not under- stand what that meant, but she soon came to see that it meant something which would send her back home and prevent her from joining her lover. The boy found her, hugging his violin to her breast and about to be taken back to the ship. His movements were rapid and they had to be. He was back in & short time with some papers which he had her sign. Then he wus away again, to present to the authorities the dpcument in which Giuseppa had agreed, by a properly signed and witnessed paper, to be his wife. Habeas-torpus proceedings were instituted and Commissioner Morle produced the bride. Prices of Wives Vary. An ante-nuptial agreement, under which the bride-to-be will receive $1,000,000, in lieu of her dower rights, is sald to be a legal formality which. will precede the wedding of Richard T.
