In the third chapter we pay that the kingdoms composing the "Heptar chy" were uniited under one king in the year S27. Egbert was the king of Wessex under whom this union took place. It is his reign which w now take up. We follow the account given bv Hume: - The kingdoms of the Heptarchy, though united by so recent a conquest, seemed to be firmly cemented into one state under Egbert, and the mhaiba tants of the several provinces had lost all desire of revolting from that mon arch, or of restoring their former inde pendent governments. Their language was everywhere nearly the same, their customs, laws, institutions, civil and religious: and as the race of the an cient kings was totally extinct in, all of the subjected states, the people readily transferred their allegiance to a prmo who seemed to merit it by the splendor of his victories, the vigor of his admin intration, and the superior ndbility of his rbirth. A union also In government opened to them the agreeable prospect of future tranquility; and at nppearei more probable that they would hence forth become formidable to the?r neigh bars, than be exposed to their inroads and devastations. But these natter ing views were soon overcast by the appearance of the Danes, who, during some centuries, ept the Anglo-Saxon in perpetual disquietude, committed the most barbarous ravages upon them, and at last reduced them to grievous servitude. The Emperor Charlemagne, though naturally generous and humane, had been induced by bigotry to exercise great ser verities upon the pagan. Sax ons in Germany, whom he subdued; and besides often ravaging' their coun try with fire and sword, he had, in cold blood, decimated all the inhabitants for their revolt, and had obligated them, toy the most rigorous edicts, to make a seeming compliance with the Christian doctrine. That religion, which had easily made its way among the British Saxons in insinuation and address, appeared shocking to their German brethren, when imposed on them by the violence of Charlemagne; and the more generous and warlike c the pagans had fled northward into! Jutland, in order to escape the fury of his persecutions. Meeting there the' people of similar manners, they were readily received among them and they soon stimulated the natives to concur in exterprises which both promised revenge on the haughty con'querer, and afford sustenance to those numerous in habitants with which the northern counties were now overburdened. They invaded the provinces of (France which were exposed toy the degeneracy and dissensions of Charlemagne's posterity; and .being there known under the gen eral name of Normans which they re ceived from their northern situation, they 'became the terror of the maritime and even the inland countries. They were also tempted to visit England in their froquent excursions; and being able, by sudden inroads, to make great progress over a people who were not defended toy, any naval force, vjJio had relaxed their military institutions, and who were sunk into superstition which had beicome odious to the Danes and a.ncient Saxons, they made no distinc tion in their hostilities between the French and English kingdoms. Their first appearance is the island was in 727, when Brithric reigned in Wessex. . A small body of them landed in that, kingdom, with a view of learning the state of the country; and when the magistrate of the place questioned them concrning their enterprise, and "summoned them to appear before the king, and account for their intentions, they killed him and flying to .thair ships escaped into their own country. The next alarm was given to Northum berland in 794, when a body of these pirates pilliged a monastery; but their ships being much damaged by a storm and their leader slain in a skirmish, they were at last defeated by the in habitants and the remainder of them put to the sword. Five years' after Egbert had estab lished his monarchy over England, the Danes landed in the Isle of Shepey and having pillaged it escaped with impu nity. They were not so fortunate hi the next year's- enterprise, when they 7 o oo W IF rly That's often the case this time of year. Hardly sick enough to have a doctor, yet miserable all the time.

The battle was p-h the Danes lost great numbers, they maintained the posts which they had taken, and thence Tnn.rlft e-ood their retreat to tneir snupb that thpv must exueet a vigorous Resistance from the warlike prince they entered th the Britons of Cornwall: and landed two years after wards in that country and made an in road with their confederates into the county of (Devon, but were met at Hen- sesdown bv Egbert and totally aeieac ftri While England remained in this state of anxiety and defended itself more by temporary expedients than by any regular plan of administration, Egbert, who alone was able to provide effectually against this new evil, unior- tunately died and left the government to his son Ethelwolf. This prince .had neither the abili ties nor the vigor of his father and was better qualified for governing a convent than a kingdom. He began his reign toy making a partition of his dominations, and delivering over to his eldest son, Athelstan, the new-conquered provinces of .Essex, Kent, and Sus sex. No inconveniences seems to have arisen from this partition as the con tinual terror of the Danish invasions prevented all domestic dissension. A fleet of these ravagers consisting of thirty-three sail appeared at Southamp ton but were repulsed with loss by Wolfhere, governor of the neighboring county. The same year Athelhelm', governor of Dorsetshire routed another band which had disembarked at Ports mouth; but he obtained the victory af ter a furious engagement and he bought it with the loss of his life. Next year the Danes made several inroads in;o England and fought battles, or rather skirmishes, in East Anglia and (Lindsey and Kent, where though they were sometimes repulsed and defeated, they always obtained their end of commit ting spoil upon the country and carry ing off their booty. They avoided com ing to a general engagement which was not suited to their plan of operations. Their vessels were small and ran easily up the creeks and rivers, where they drew them ashore, and having formed an entrenchment around them, which they guarded with part of their num ber, the remainder scattered themsel ves everywhere and carrying off the inhabitants and cattle and goods, they hastened to their ships and quickly dis appeared. If the military force of the country were assembled, (for there was no time for troops to march from a dis tance,) the Danes either were able to repulse them and to continue their ravages .with impunity or they took themselves to their vessels and setting sail suddenly invaded some distant quarter which was not prepared for their reception. Every part of Eng land was held in continual alarm and the inhabitants of one part of the coun try durst not give assistance to thosa of another lest their own families and property should in the meantime be exposed by their absence to the fury of these barbarous ravages. All orders of men were involved in this calamity and the priests and the monks, who had been commonly spared in the do mestic quarrels of the Heptarchy, were the chief objects on which the Danish idolaters' exercised their rage and ani mosity. Every season of the year was dangerous arid the absence of the ee my was no reason why any man could esteem himself a moment in safety. These incursions bad now become al most annual, rvvhen the Danes encour aged by their successes against France, as well as England, invaded the latter in so numerous a body as seemed to threaten it with universal subjection. But the English, more military than the Britons, . whom they a few centu ries before had treated with like vio lence, roused themselves with a vigor proportioned to the exigency. Ceorle, governor of Devonshire, fought a bat tle with one body of the Danes at Wi ganburgh and put them to rout with great slaughter. King Athelstane at tacked another at sea near Sandwich, sunk nine of their ships and put the rest to flight. A body of them, how ever, ventured for the first time to take up winter quarters in England, and re- ceivmng in the spring a strong re in forcement of their countrymen,in three hundred and fifty vessels, they advan ced from the Isle of Thanet where they naa stationed themselves, burnt the cities of London and 'Canterbury and having put to flight Brithie, who now governed Mercia under the title of king, they marched into the heart of Surrey and laid waste: every place around them. Ethelwolf, impelled, by the urgency of the danger, marched against them at the head of the West Saxons and carrying with him his se cond son, Ethelbald, gave them battle at Okely and gained a bloody victory over them. This advantage procured but a short respite to the English. The Danes still maintained their settlement in the Isle of Thanet and being attack ed by .Ealher and Huda, governors of Kent and Surrey, though defeated in the beginning of the action, they final ly repulsed the assailants and. killed both the governors. - They - removed thence to the Isle of Shepey where they took up their winter quarters that they might further extend their devasta tions and ravages. " This unsettled state of England did not hinder Ethelwolf from making a pilgrimage to .Rome, taking with him his fourth and favorite son, Alfred, then only six years of age. .

Mayo, rector of Holy Trinity Me morial Chapel, left here today to ac cept the call to Christ Protestant Episcopal Church of West River, Md. He has been at the Holy Trinity Chapel for more than ten years, and he expressed great regret in leaving his present parishioners. ' Rev. Mr. Mayo was called to Holy Trinity Memorial Chapel in December, 1890, from the Church of the Atone ment, Baltimore, Md. He is of Eng lish ancestry, members of his family having been among the earliest Vir ginia settlers, under the ancient heraldic name of Mayline. After graduating in a classical course, he studid abroad at the. University of Leipsic. Upon his return to this coun try he entered Columbia Law School, and after graduation he practiced law for a year with much success before his entry into the ministry. He has been very popular in his parish. He has fine pulpit presence, and has shown much skill and fore sight in the various enterprises of hii Congregation. In all his work he has been assisted by Rev. W. C. White. Sykes Retires. Chicago, June. 1. Milton Luther Sykes, vice president and secretary of the Chicago and Northwestern Rail way Company, was today succeeded by E. E. Osboyn, general attorney for the company. Mr. Sykes has occupied the position for thirty-one years, and . during all that time he has practically been in charge of the finances of the company. His retirement is due to advance in years and a desire to escape active ser vice. E. E. Osborne, who will fill , the position, has been general attorney for the company here in Chicago for the past eight years. In company with A. W. Pulver he has had charge of , the general legal business of the company, his particular branch being that Of trial lawyer. Mr. Sykes, who will retire, was born March 26, 1826, and was educated in the public schools and in the high school in Springfield, Mass. He entered the railway service in 1844 as a rod man and engineer's clerk for the New Haven, Hartford and Springfield Rail road, then under construction. For a short time he was with the engineer ing force of the Connecticut Railway, and later in the freight department of the New Haven, Hartford and Spring field Railway. He was finally advance ed to the position of superintendent. Black Diamond Laundry. Nelsonville, O., June 1. The con tractors today completed work on the Sunday Creek Coal Company's large coal washery. The washefy is the first one of the kind erected in Ohio. It represents an outlay of over ?55,000, and will turn out 2,000 tons of coal per day. To operate it will require only about 20 men, the largest part of the work being done by machinery. The purpose of the washery is to utilize all the slack, pea and nut coals from the Hocking Valley mines, which have heretofore been sold at a low price. All this kind of coal will be passec through the washery and iaoroughly cleansed. After being washed it wiii be worth but a very little less" than the best lump coal. Washeries of this sort hxve been largely used in the West, where the coal is very dirty, but this is the first large one erected ir the East. The demand for Hocking Valley steam coal has been growing greatly P.nrt hv aid of the washery the com pany will be able to fill contracts with coal which "has hitherto been almost a waste product. It is probable that oth er large washeries will also be erected in the valley and the great accumula tion of low grade coal cleaned and put on the market. All sulphur, bone coal, dirt and slate will be removed from tne coal, and it will be equal to the best grade of coal shipped from the valley. Galveston Government. Galveston, Texas, June 1.

The most of them go on paying no attention to their little menstrual disorders, believing they will eventually wear off. But menstrual troubles don't wear off. They grow worse and worse every day. At the period of menstruation a woman is peculiarly susceptible to cold and other external influences and it is also the most favorable time for the development of hidden disease germs which may be lurking in the system. Any physician knows that disordered menstruation, falling -of the womb and leucorrhoea are blighting lives in almost every home.

As is well known, Dr. Hartman is the President of the Hartman Sanitarium, an institution which has a department devoted exclusively to the treatment of female diseases. He is thus brought to see thousands of such cases every year, the most of whom return to their homes to be treated by correspondence. The principal remedy he relies upon in such cases is Peruna, which every woman should have, who has any affection of this kind. Those wishing to become patients should address Dr. S. B.

Beginning with today boxing will flourish in this city again. It is understood the game will be handled somewhat differently from the past. The six round limit will be strictly observed, and big fights will not be tolerated. Whether the men who formerly handled the spot will be permitted to resume its manage ment is an open question, as is also the problem of a place for the fight ers to meet in.
