ALEXANDER IS KING.
Bloodless Conp d'Etat ot Servia's
Youthful Monarch.
A bloodless coup d'etat was affected at
Belgrade, Servia, the other night, and King
Alexander I. the youthful ruler of Servia,
who had heretofore governed the country
through Regents, now rules in his own name.
A grand banquet was given at the paiace to
celebrate King Alexander's success in passing
the examination prescribed for Servian
students. II. Ristics and General Beliinarkovic,
the Regents, and all the Ministers of
State, were present, as were a large number
of friends and supporters of tne Regent?.
Unsuspectingly the Regents and Ministers
attended the banquet, and while they were
enjoying themselves at the palace detach- ]
meats of soldiers and bodies of police took
possession of the Ministers' houses and occu
piea ine ^xovernment DuiiainRS.
At midnight, while the festivities were
still in progress. King Alexander proclaimed
that he had obtained his majority and that
he had assumed, with the bkupshtina, the
government of the country.
As a aatter of fact the King had not attained
his majority. According to the Servian
law he does not become of age until he
is eighteen years old, and as he was born
August 14, 187c$, he will not be eighteen for
considerably over a year.
The King and his advisers acted with great
promptitude, and soldiers, who were in waiting,
at once placed the Regents and Ministers
under arrest and they were sent to
rooms which had been prepare i for theai in
the palace, where they were placed under
guard. The Servian army is loyal to the
King.

EARTHQUAKE IN ZAffi '
The Ionian Island Devastated
For the Second Time. t
Many People Buried in Ruined
Cities and Villages.
The Island of Zante, one of the principal 1
[onian Islands, was visited by a most de- f
itructive earthquake a few mornings ago,
e8ultiag in great loss of life and property. e
[n February and March last the island eus- J
?ined a vast amount of damage by seismic 1
listurkances, and a large number of lives
verpbgr. j
ThU last shock appears to have baen most (
riolent in the city of Zmte, the greater part 8
>f which was destroyed.
The people became panic -stricken and the *
Luthorities helpless. The streets were impasable,
being filled with masses of stone and 1
imDer, the wreckage of the houses which
vera thrown down by the earthquake. J
The bodies of twenty parsons killed by 1
ailing walls have been removed from the 1
lebris, and it was feared that many more 1
lead were still in the ruins. The number of, t
>ersons injured ran up into the hundreds. a
Sverything was in. confusion, and the work
>f searching for bodies and for the iujured t
sould not be pursued systematically. ,
The greater portion of the inhabitants (
led to the plains back of the city, where j
hey wandered about in a distracted manner
lewailing the loss of their homes and prop;rty.
A. large number of tents that were '
aken to Zante to shelter the people who
eere rendered homeless by the former earth- r
[uakes have been again set up, and under ^
hem some of the women and cnildren have *
aken refuse.
. The city presents a scene of desolation, r
,nd it is doubtful if it ever recovers from I
he series of misfortunes that have befallen t
t within the past three months. There is t
?und to bean enormous amount of suffer- o
ag, and outside aid will be urgently re- ii
uired to prevent sickness and starvation. I
The shock occurred at 7:33 a. m. Most
f the buildings tnat stood erect after the j
hocks of February and March were either ^
hrown down or shattered so as to be unsafe j>(
or occupancy. The Church of St. Diony- q
[us and the Government offices were thrown
own.
Advices from the interior show that the *rhole
island has been devastated. Many f
illages have been destroyed, and it was ?l
1 Lj- -* '?* ? ' ? ?? 1 lias! Kann trofff

reat. p
After the first shock two more heavy ?
hocks shook the whole island. The people \
ed from all the towns to find safety on the tl
lains and hillsides. All were terror F
tricken. Thousands were without shelter,
nd few have sufficient food.
The Greek Government acted promptly in
endering aid to the sufferers. The Greek
onclads Hydra and Spezia started for v
ianti, having on board a detachment of eu- n
ineers, as well as provisions and medicines, g
or the survivors of the calamity.
It is pointed out that the Zante disaster a
i confirmation of the prediction made a few p
ays before by Professor Falb, who pre- a
icted the former earthquakes, that disturb- a
ncea more serious than the recent ones ^
rould occur on that date.

I WON BY THE PEOPLE.
Universal Suffrage, With Plural
Toting, Adopted in Belgium.
The Strike Abandoned and Further
Trouble Averted,
A cablegram from Brussels, Bslgium,
says: The Belgium revolution has succeeded.
The reigning aristocracy has sur
rendered, and Belgium will hereafter be
governed by the people. The viofcory for
universal suffrage cost several lives and
serious bloodshed; but, considering the terrible
sacrifices which until the last moment
it seemed would be necessary, the price paid
is not a great one. The right of self-government
has not been granted willingly. It was
wrung from the present authorities bv a
display of revolutionary force such as nad
not been seen in Europe since Paris was in
the hands of a committee.
The manifestation of popular will was
imposing and truly terrific. It overawed
and conquered the arrogance which had defied
it. It has been a day of suspense and
/ear throughout Belgium. The entire country
was under arms, and business of every
description was paralyzed. Th9 terrible
nature of the crisis was emphasized as never
before when 20,000 Socialists met just outside
Brussels, and voted solemnly and without
excitement to shed the last drop of their
blood to secure the rig'it of suffrage. The
leaders advised the multitude to refrain
from violence till the decision of Parliament
was known later in the day. Tho mob conseated.
Their fellows in other places exarcised
less self-restraint. Soon came the news that
several more had been killed and many
wounded in Antwerp. The bloody work was
going on again in Mons and other places.
Brussels waited. There was unmistakably
an air of dread and apprehension upon the
city. All tde large places" of business were
closed and tbe shutters were up. The residential
streets were completely deserted.
The public quarters wero thronged, but few
women were about. All vehicles, except*
few cabs, disappeared. The army and the
mob stood and watted. Cavalry and infantry
held all the streets within half a
mile of the King's palace and the Parliament
buildings. There were no hostile
demonstrations against the troops.
Meantime the Lower ?House of the Legislature
assemble? The House voted to sit
until the committee agreed on some suffrage
measure. It refused to adopt the Government
suggestion to act on the budget, which
was waiting. Th? members instead went
outside to view the strange sight in the
streets of the city, which was in a state of
thousands of troops filled the streets converging
at Parliament HalL Beyond them
4he mob stood waiting. It was nearly 4
o'clock, bnt there had been no collision. The
multitude was silent, and not even sullen.
There was. however, no mistaking the atti
tude of their unnumbered thousands.
Members of toe Chamber went back to
their seats profoundly impressed. Telegrams
poured in telling of renewed fighting in the
provinces. A mild bat salutary panic to ale
possession of the House.
The committee were forced to report. They
brought in a measure providing for universal
suffrage for citizens above twenty*
five years of age, with an additional vow
for heads of families, and another for those
possessing educational qualifications. It was
briefly debated and quickly brought to a
vote. The result was 119 in favor, twelv*
against and fourteen abstentions. The figures
were received with amazement on all
sides, indicatingas.it did the panic-stric&o
condition of the House. The nows quickly
spread, and was received with 1 mmease re-'
lief if not entira satisfaction by the people.
It was thought that the Senate would act

of the death of Emin Pach>, the great explorer,

Edward Schnitzar vu born in Oppelii, in
the Prussian province of Silesia, on
March 30, 1840, son of the Merchant
Louis Scnnitzer?died 1845?and
his wife, Pauline Schweitzer, both of whom
wero Protestants. The family left Opoeln in
1842 for Neissa. where the mother and one
sister of our friend still reside. After graduating
at the academy of the town last
mentioned, Edward Schnitzer entered upon
the coarse of medicine at the University of
fireslau. During the years 1863 and 1S0* he
continued nis scuuies m vus uun??>i ?>
Berlin, where he tooic his degree.
He decided to win his way as a physician
in Turkey, and left Berlin at the end of 1S">4.
In Scutariahe excited the attention an.l interest
ot tha then Vali Ismael Pacha Haqq>,
and was attached to the staff of the Turkish
dignitary, who waa on a round of official
visits to the various provinces of the wide
Kiugdom. After having seen in this way
Armenia, Syria and Arabia, Schnitzai* arrived
at length at Constantinople, where the
Pacha died in 1872.
Suddenly, however, his old love of wandering
seized him afresh. He set out for
Egypt when a favorable prospoct had meanwhile
presented itself. Thus we see the enterprUing
man at the beginning of 1876,
entering into the Egyptian service under
the name of Doctor Emin Effendi, and offering
himself in the south to the Governor
General of the Soudan, which was then be
i ng raDidiy extended.
In 187S he wa3 made a Bey and appointed
Governor of the equatorial province. Fr?m
1574 to 1S$3 he had a score of stations and a
post fortnightly between them and Lado.
The tide of insurrection in the Soudan
sw/'pc southward and Emin was imprisoned
ir/ his own province until rescuedby Stanley

How Mirrors Are Made.
Mercury ia prepared for application to

is applied to the .slaas in the fallowing
wa/: A stone table, which is arranged'
so that it can be inclined to one side by
means of a screw beneath it, is carefully
laid over, while it is level, with tin foil. .
A strip of gloss is then placed on each of
three sides of the foil and melted quick*
silver is poured upon it to the depth of
nearly one-quarter of an inch. A3 there
is a chemical affinity between the quicksilver
and tin foil, the latter does not

How many can tell the origin of tha- '
habit of closing the eyes in prayer? Far
bade in the past tho sun was the universal
object of worship. As it rose
abov; the horizon the devotee thanked it
for it3 return to bless the world. As it
set ia the west he implored its early return.
I lis face was always toward tho
