Coved liy Hi< Court anil His People.
Copenhagen. Denmark. ? Christian
IX.. King of Denmark, died at I'.UO
o'clock in the afternoon. He passed
iway quietly, surrounded by the Crown
Prince Frederick and the Crown Priui
ess Louise. and tbeir children, and the
Dowager Empress of Russia.
The King's death was sudden. Although
for some time he has showed
evidences that the weight of his years
was beginning to tell upon him, there
was no indication of his approaching
jnd. He gave long audiences in the
morning. lasting three hours. At
luncheon afterwards he showed signs
af great fatigue, and almost collapsed.
At o o'clock he retired to lie down
on his bed. Physicians were hastily
summoned, but they were unable to
rally the aged monarcn s sircngiu, auu
he died half an hour later.
The news of the King's death spread
with great rapidity, aud signs of the
ireatest grief were to be seen everywhere.
The news of the King's death was
conveyed to the Danish Lower House,
which immediately .'suspended its sittings.
London. England.?The sudden death,
af King Christian of Denmark, called
the "Father-in-law of Europe," will
place the majority of the royal houses
of Europe in mourning. The rulers of
Russia, Great Britain. Greece, Sweden
and Norway are directly related to the
dead monarch, either personally or
through their consorts.
King Christian was the fourth son
of Duke William of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Gluckshurg.
and first
saw the light on April 8, 1818. Then
there seemed little prospect of his asrending
the Danish throne. At the
age of twenty-four he married Princess
Louise, daughter of Landgrave William
of Hesse-Cassel. His bride was
seven months older than he. having
been born on September 7. 1817, and
she was to enjoy a long term of such
aomestic felicity as is said to be rare
miong the wives of men who wear
crowns.
He was appointed to the succession
of the crown of Denmark by the
Treaty of London ?f May 8. 1852, and
i)y the Danish Law of Succession of
Tuly 31, 1833. He succeeded to the
throne on the death of King Frederick
VII.. November 1T>. 1SG3.
Prince Frederick, the eldest son or
the late King Charles, who succeeds to
the throne, was born June 3. 1843. and
svas married on .Tuly 28. 1S<>9, to Princess
Louise, daughter of King Charles
XV. of Sweden and Norway.
As husband and father. King Christian
early won the affectionate admirition
of his people and of the courts of
Europe.
Christian began his reign disastrousy,
with a costly and ruinous war. and
lis people were suspicious and resent'ut.
But he won over his people by
lis sterling orth and simple manliless
of character. He was not an exrravagant
king. His lifo and the life
)f his family were on the plainest Hues.
Louise died September 29, 1S98.

.WANTS AN ARMY RESERVE
Taft Asks For 30,000 Men on Five-Year
Enlistments to Guard Coast
j
i fcrrrrlary of War -Says <!o?t Would l>o
j small?Kilt to Wec<l Out Inefficient
OKlreiit Another 3Icn?ure.
i Washington. D. C.?Several important
bills designed to increase (be efficiency
of I ho army, submitted by Secretary
Taft. were introduced by Representative
Hull, chairman of the
Mouse Committee on Military Affairs.
One is designed to provide a partial
reserve for coast defense in case of
actual or impending war. The bill
provides for 50.000 men who have
served at least one complete enlistment
in the army. They are to be
enlisted for five years, and may live
where they please in tlie United States,
but subject to a call by the President
of ien days each year for instruction,
and on the outbreak of a foreign war
are to be called into active service.
Secretary Taft explaius that the bill
provides means of enabling the President
lo comply with the act of February
2, 1901. lo increase the army to
100./JO men in case of an emergency.
The total cost is estimated at about
$2,000,000 a year. The Secretary
says:
'The necessity for a reserve of
trained men was shown at the outbreak
of the Spanish War, when it
was found to be impossible to obtain
men for the regular army who had had
previous training, which necessitated
regiments going into battle at their
peace strength. The purpose is to
have available a trained force to immediately
bring the regular army to
the strength now authorized by law,
which would practically double its
efficiency, and Ihu annual increased
expenditure for that purpose would
only be about three per cent, of the
present cost cf the permaueut military
establishment."
Another measure provides for a separation
of fleld and coast artillery.'
retaining the corps organization for the
I rtM.? ??!,! io
Killer. j.nr neiu iuiiuci,* 10
by six batteries, with regimental organization.
The total increase in both
arms provided for is 5000 men. and
the estimated cost for the first year is
$2,000,000, besides an estimated expense
of So,000.000 for barracks, gun
sheds, etc.. for five years.
The Secretary strongly vrges a bill
increasing the pay of non-commissioned
officers in accordance with the
principles followed iu inuropcan armies.
One bill provides for a system of retirement
by selection, with a view to pro*
mote advancement "by weeding out
the least efficient-officers." The othei
bills provide for a service corps of
7000 attached to the supply department
for work heretofore performed
by soldiers, and for the 'eorgani/.atioc
of the veterinary cc.ps of th x army.

They are apparently traceable to a

Problem of tlie Naval Department
Solved by tl?e Catastrophe?Shift
I lnc AVI ml e Save Constellation.
Newport, R. I.?Seven buildings connected.
with the United States Naval
Training Station at Coaster's Harbor
Island, in this city, were destroyed by
fire, the estimated loss being $100,000.
The buildings destroyed were tho
detention building, machine shop, paint
shop, paymaster's storehouse, carpeu
ter's shop and two small storehouses.
The fire was discovered at about
9.3() o'clock p. in. by a sentry who, in
passing the machine shop, adjoining
4he detention building, smelled smoke.
Investigation showed that tbe fire was
making rapid headway.
The alarm was given, and all the apprentice
boy8, 1500 in number, with
the members of the detachment of ma-!
vines and the enlisted men, answered
the call to quarters. By the time a
bucket brigade had been formed the
llames had leaped to the detention
building, a brick structure two stories
high and about j.20 by fifty feet dimensions.
The work of the bucket brigade was
of no avail against the fire, as a strong I
northwest wind sprang up and threatened
to carry the flames to nearly every
quarter of the reservation. Aid
from the Newport Fire Departtnent
was then asked.
All tbe smaller storehouses and
shops about the deteutiou building
were of wooden construction and fell
an easy prey to the fire.
The apprentices, marines and enlist1
ed men, under tbe command' of Commander
Sawyer, the Commandaut of
the station, gave (he firemen great assistance.
When it was discovered that
the bucket brigade could not cope with
the flames the men were ordered to
devote their energies to saving property.
At this time the paymaster'.? office
and storehouse were burning fiercely,
but tlie men and boys managed to
make their way Into the building and
to save a portion of the stores. The
safe was opened by the paymaster and
all the money and official documents
were removed and placed under a
guard of marines.
One of the burned buildings con-,
tained ah the small boat9 and cutters
* " " ? *4. ofo.
| useu lor practice put puses m iuv.- om
tion. These boats had been hauled
from the water when winter set iu, and
had been stored in the building. AH
were destroyed.
Several apprentices in single irons
were confined in tho detention building
at the time the tire broke out. Physical
Instructor Joseph Jvirby liberated
them by a heroic effort. When he
reached the detention building he could
not see the young prisoners because of
smoke, but they answered his call.
Supported by a line of men, Kirby
made his way to the spot where the
boys' were in confinement, and passed
tbem back, one by one, to the men behind
him, and so out upon the sea wall.
In passing over the sea wall two of
the manacied boys fell overboard, but
were immediately rescued. They were
sent to the barracks for the rest of the
nigUL
For a "time the famous old frigate
Constellation, which is used as a practice
ship at thi station, .was in danger
of destruction, but prompt work on the
part of the firemen saved the ship. A
shift of the wind a few minutes later
removed all danger.
The origin of the fire is not known, j
At 1J.30 o'clock it was still burning,
but under control. A large quantity
of naval stores was destroyed.
The fire-fighting forces were increased
by details from the torpedo
station and irom the Naval War College.
T'.ie destruction of the detention
building has solved a problem at (he
station. One naval board condemned
the structure, and recommended that
it be destroyed. Later another board
recommended that it be used as a machine
shop. It has been used but little
recently. During the recent epidemic
of spinal meningitis it served as a hospital.

Dowie's reigu is over. Pressing cremt*
ors of Zion City were informed by representatives
of the "Triumvirate" of

had completely given r.p the financial
control of that community, and that a
new era of "(icntile'' factories and .ui
duslrips was to be ushered in.
The real meaning of Dowie's elabroale
exit from Zion City on December
18, it was frankly stated, was the inimeciale
and complete reversal of his
Ion;: cherished plans.

" About three years ago I had intense pain
1 my stomach, with cramps and raging
eadachee. The doctor prescribed for me,
ut finding that I did not get any better he
Kamined me and, to my surprise, declared
had a tumor.
"I felt sure that it meant my death warrant,
nd was very disheartened. I spent hundreds
f dollars in doctoring, but the tumor kept
rowing, till the doctor said that nothing but
n operation would 6ave me. Fortunately I
Drresponded with my aunt in one of the New
lagland States, who advised me to try Lydla
!. Pinkharn's VegetableCompound before sublitting
to an operation, and I at once started
iking a regular treatment, finding to my
reat relief tnat my general health began to
n prove, and after tnree months I noticed
? i? .
liat the tumor had reduced in size, i Keps
n taking the Compound, and in ten months
; had entirely disappeared without an oper- 1
