Now, where can these negroes show a visible means of support? ; It is a sure thing they have to, eat.

The wounded King was lifted intp a carriage and taken to the Papafiion hospital. He was still breathing when placed in the carriage. Prince Nicholas, the King's third son, and other officers hurried to the hospital. Arriving first, Prince Nich olas summoned the officers and, speak ing in a voice choked with sobs, said: "It is my deep grief to have to an nnouce toou the death of our be loved King and invite you to swear fidelity to your new sovereign, King Constantine." The assassin of the Kine- is an looking fellow a On being arrested he refused to ex- piam nis motive. He declared name was Aleko Chinos and in reply to a question answered that he was against governments.
