Bleeding and wounded officers threw

jr human nerves to endure and pres
ently she burst' into 'tears. If the

her subjects, were impressive as the
Spanish spirit, rich in romance, could
make them. Alfonso's Ministers had
discounted the future as well as bor
rowed from the past to honor their
y-ung monarch and his northern bride.
They marshaled the prOinces of Spain
in a bounteous pageant for a kaleido
scopic picture of the whole historic
country. with .which, to charm the eyes
and ears of Princess Ena Princess
Victoria, the Spaniards already called
her. Beautiful floats representative of
the Kingdom's every part had been
built and peopled to follow the bridal
train. The ceremony itself not only
was invested with the solemnity Ox the
Roman ritual and honored by the pres
ence of. Toledo's Archbishop and the
Pope's Special Nuncio, but an almost
classic air was lent to it fey the tradi
tions of the Church of S& Jeronimo el
Real, wherein it was perforityed. And
all Europe all the world was repre
sented in the sparkling thousands of
guests that thronged the royal chapel.
Wedding weather greeted the King
and Princess when they awoke, he in
the Royal Palace, she in that of Prado.
Princess Ena, according to immessd
rial Spanish custom, donned her wed
ding finery at the Senate House,
whence she was escorted from the villa
of the Prado by, half of the noble ladies
of Spain, who superintended the ad
justing of the wedding veil.
The royal progress to the church of
King and bride was like a scene from
the "Arabian Nights," fairy tale
coaches made of crystal and gold, Ara
bian horses "ith tails and . manes
twined with roses, and harness plated
with gold and studded with precious
stones, troops in gorgeous uui forms,
military bands, delegations from Ara
goa and Castile in the gay and pictur
esque native costumes, while every
where were music and flowers, glitter
and pomp.
Roars of welcome hailed Alfonso, fol
lowed by louder cheering when the
bride's coach followed his. Roses were
showered on them from balconies.
hurled at them over the heads of the
regiments strung along the sidewalks,
tossed under the feet of the horses
from roofs and upper windows. On all
sides gleamed the rich colors of the
country. The same patriotic idea was
carried out in the interior decoration
of the church, the blazing hues being
heightened by thousands of incandes
cent lights and embroideries of gold
and silver. On a dais were two gold
armchairs, in one of which King Al
fonso, arriving twenty minutes before
his bride, sat impatiently, sending cour
tier after courtier to the entrance to
watch for. her until her coach rolled
up to the door.
Conspicuous because of the simple
dignity of their atrtire among the 'shin
ing uniforms of Princes, Grand Dukes,
Archdukes, nobles, marshals, admirals
and generals were Minister Collier and
Special Envoy Whitridge of the United
States.
Two hundred choristers sang ilie pro
cessional as the royal couple advanced
to the altar, King Alfonso flanked by
Prince Carlos and his little namesake,
Princess Ena escorted by her mother,
her brother ind her future mother-in-law.
The blonde Jaride in her wonderful
robes of white and silver seemed a
fitting figure in this fairy pageaut wed
ding. Her gown was a gift from the
King and cost $7000. It was of white
brocade overlaid with silver embroid
ery and Spanish lace. The latter was
valued at $50 a yard. The lace was
caught up with posies of orange blos
soms.
This wedding robe, while magnificent
as a work of art, would shock a
Parisian dressmaker by Its elaboration.
The bodice was high. Spain would be
horrified to see any bride go to the
altar decollete, as English princesses
do. ' 1-
A coronet of brilliants sparkled! be
neath the wedding veil of old lace.
Alfonso, attired in the uniform of a
captain general and wearing among
his decorations the Order of the Golden
Fleece and the English Order of the
Garter, met his bride in front of the
altar, and they stood together until the
time came for them to kneel side by
side on two cushions of softest silk
lying on the dais. But before that
solemn moment came the Northern
Princess, her eyes smiling through
tears, moved quickly down the steps
to the dais and embraced her mother
tenderly, returning to the King's side
just as Cardinal Sancha began the
wedding service.
The ceremony, which lasted nearly
an hour, terminated with the nuncio
pronouncing the Pope's benediction on
the newly married couple and the
chanting of the Te Deum. Following
this all Madrid-broke.into frantic dem
onstrations of . joy, while cannon
boomed and church bells chimed.

by. the presence of many poor people
in the galleries, who were there by the
King's request, made the scene, an ef
fective one, to which a melancholy
sequel quickly succeeded.
Wedding Cost SIO.OOO.OOO.
London. A correspondent at Madrid
makes a calculation of the. cost of the
wedding and arrives roughly at a total
expenditure of $10,000,000. He puts
the outlay for decorations by the mu
nicipality and private citKens at $125,
000. Having regard for the necessity of
every woman invited to the wedding
ceremony and the various festivities
equipping herself with an elaborate
new robe, ornaments and in many
cases jewels, he believes that not less
than $3,500,000 was paid to milliners,
dressmakers and jewelers.
The restoration of the royal state
coaches, new harness and trappings
cost more than $150,000. More than
$1,250,000 was expended in preparing
and redecorating the Prado Palace, In
cluding the bunding of new kitchens,
in furnishing the Chateau of- La
Granja for the honeymoon and in re
storing the apartments in the palace
at Madrid for the new Queen.
New uniforms for the troops and
court servants cost $150,000. In addi
tion to all these there is the outlay
for the bullfight, a military review, and
the various fetes, which it is known
will amount to many; thousands ,of
dollars. . --

Dover, England. A salute of twentj

The battleships at Sheerness and else

Washington, D.- C Representative
Robert Adams, a member of Congress
from the Second District of Pennsyl
vania, comprising a part of the city of
Philadelphia, committed suicide by

curred shortly after 7 o'clock a. m., and
Mr. Adams died at 11.30 at the Emer

and did not rally. '
Financial reverses and the prospect
of failure to be returned to his seat in
Congress are believed to have been the
cause of the suicide. Mr. Adams was a
bachelor, fifty-seveu years old.
3 CHILDREN DEAD IN A TRUNK.
They Had Been Missing Four Hours,
When Mother Found Them.
Kankakee, 111. Three girls, aged
eight, six and two years; daughters of
Mr. and Mrs. Adelord Vanslette, were
found smothered to death, seated up

missing for four hours.
The circumstances of the deaths are
mysterious. Search had been made

Apparently they had made no struggle
or effort to release themselves. The
mother thinks the children crawled

STOCK RAISERS AND
PACKERS EQUALLY GUILTY
Both Oppose the Bill For Rigid
Governmental Inspection.
DISEASED CftTLE SLAUGHTERED
Figures Showing That 200,000 Live
Animals Were Rejected at Chi
cago Last Year---Beef Trust
Combined Against the People.
Washington, D. C It Is not alone
the meat packers but the stock raisers
who are in the business of fooling the
public, and certain members of Con
gress are getting ready to prove, not
by magazine writers,' but by the official
records, that these stock raisers ought
not to receive sympathy. "Coupled with
the exposure of the stock raisers is to
come an attack on the canners of fruits
and vegetables. .Yust now the Presi
dent is interested in the figures prov
ing how diseased live stock is sent to
the slaughter houses. In Chicago there
are only twenty-three establishments
under the inspection of Federal offi
cials. The others have city inspection.
In the country 'at large fifty cities
have In all 152 establishments where
meats are inspected.
The figures from these in the Bureau
of Animal Industry for the last year
show that ' 165,104 animals were con
demned by Federal and city inspectors,
all having come with disease from the
stock farms.
This proves that the inspection was
not as lax as alleged in recent stories,
but it shows the stock raisers to be
ignorant or criminal. Of the live stock
condemned for disease the figures give
126,262 hogs, 19,879 cattle, 9701 sheep
and 9322 calves. Of these the city in
spectors discovered in fifty cities 19,899
hogs, 4289 calves, 898 cattle and 411
sheep. Tuberculosis was the chief dis
ease. In fact two-thirds of all condemned
were found with this malady. The
records show that 4913 animals were
found suffering with abscesses or
pyemia; 1705 with enteritis, peritonitis
or ' mitris; 1384 with septicemia, and
13,533 with hog cholera.
vlsihardly necessary to say the
shippers could not have been ignorant
of these conditions. Their anxiety now
to rush to the support of the Chicago
packers indicates that they fear not
loss of trade, but a more rigid inspec
tion. An official of the Bureau of Ani
mal Industry says that the inspection
of live stock now is meagre and that,
with a proper force, twice as many
cattle, hogs and sheep would be con
demned. The stock raisers have been
warned several times, but have felt
that, with the Beef Trust to aid them,
they could defy the department ex
cept in notorious cases.
T f" io rnvtifn -Mint 1iot" era f nnimolc
through without inspection. Then they
evade the law by insisting that live
stock traveling interstate is not sub
ject to Federal inspection. Some of
this stock is killed outside cities, and
there is no inspection of any sort. Few
of the cities have one-third the force
necessary, and so, with the assistance
of the Beef Trust, the stock raisers
get rid of diseased cattle. The figures
for last year, incomplete as they are;
show part of the truth.
