King’s Physicians Advise Rest for a
Few Days.
In View of the Strain of the Approaching Coro-
nation They Urge Him to Forego Public En-
gagemnient.
LoNDON, June 18.—It was officially an-
nounced to-day that in view of the strain
of the approaching coronation King Ed-
ward’s physicians have recommended that
his Majesty forego all public engagements
for the next few days.
In view of the alarming rumors which
have been prevalent since his Majesty’s
sudden indisposition at Aldershot this
announcement caused greatalarm through-
out the city to-nighs.
Wild stories were current to the effect
that the King was so ill that it would be
necessary to postpone the coronation serv-
ices, and other equally disconcerting ver-
gions were frequently heard on the streets.
The alleged discovery of a plot to assassi-
nate his Majesty was also freely discussed,
but it has been absolutely impossible to
obtain the lighest confirmation of such a
discovery. Scotland Yard officials decline
to either confirm or deny that they have
any knowledge of such a plot.
Tu regard to the King’s health great
reticence is observed in all quarters from
which it is possible to secure accurate in-
formation. His Majesty has worked so
vigorously to make the coronation a suc-
cessful event and has driven himself to
such exertions that it is generally supposed
that he is suffering more from the strain of
his exertions than from any serious indis-
position.
To support of this view it is pointed out
that the recommendation of his Majesty’s
physicians was made simply with the idea
of enforcing a few days, actual rest on him
before the tiresome ordeal of next week.
Queen Alexandria, who has also felt the
fatigue of the last few days, remained with
the King to-day and will probably refrain
from atfending the Ascot race to-morrow.
Particulars are reported to have come to
hand of a successful swindle in connection
with the booking of grand stand seats
for the coronation procession, by which a
couple of astute Americans have made a
considerable haul at the expense of the
British public.
There was a preliminary trial of some
coronation illuminations in the neighbor-
hood of the Bank of England last night.
The effect was very fine.
Enormous crowds gathered to watch the
trial. All wheeled traffic on the street in
the neighborhood of the bank was stopped
and the thoroughfares were completely
filled with people slowly marching along.
In some places the crowds were extremely
rough, and gave a foretaste of the possible
occurrences of coronation night.
Degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence to
be Conferred Upon Cleveland.
PHILADELPHIA, June 16.—The degree
of doctor of jurisprudence (jurisutrinsque
doctor) will be conferred upon former
President Cleveland to-morrow, during the
commencement exercises of the Augustin-
ian college, of St. Thomas, at Villa Nova,
a suburb of this city. Mr. Cleveland will
bear thedistinction of being the first per-
son in the United States to receive this de-
gree.
Others who will receive honorary degrees
are : Baron von Hengervar, Austrian Am-
bassador to the United States; Judge Mor-
gan J. O’Brien, New York; Rev. William
J. Hill, rector of the St. Paul’s church,

doctor of philosophy; former Judge Joseph
F. Daly, New York, doctor of laws; Judge
F. T. Fitzgerald, New York, master of art.
Mr. Cleveland will be accompanied by
Mis. Cleveland and several of Princeton
university. The Austrian Ambassador will
be attended by Baron de Thodorovich,
Austrian vice consul, and Baron von
Frankenstein, first seeretary to the Ambas-
sador.
Dr. John M. Reiner, of St. Thomas’ col-
lege, left here for New York to-night and
will escort Mr. Cleveland and the New
York jurist to this city. A special train
has been provided for their convenience.
Ex-President Cleveland will address the
graduating class of the college.
Couple Married in a Lion's Den.
Rev.George W. Brownback, the Wife Hunter, Performs
the Ceremony at Reading, but Refuses to Enter the
Cage.
READING, June 18.—1In presence of 5000
persons, Captain Delancey, an African ex-
plorer, and Miss Malka Williams, of this
city, were married in a den of lions on the
Midway of the Elks’ carnival at Carsonia
Park, this evening. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. George W. Brownback,
who attained notoriety by advertising for
a wife and visiting those who responded.
Several hours before the ceremony Mr.
Brownback was on exhibition in the Elks
country store, wearing a high silk hat and
full ecclesiastical attire. The ‘‘barkers’’
drew attention to him by crying : “Come
up and see the man who is going nto the
lion’s den, get a lock of his hair as a
souvenir. Come up, girls and try your
luck with him.”
Mr. Brownback refused to enter the den
but addressed the couple through the bars.
The nerve of the original couple who had
signed a contract to be married in the den
failed.

STROUDSBURG, June 18.—At a meet-
ing of the Monroe county bar yesterday
a resolution was adopted declaring that
the escape from prison of the murder-
ers, Grether and Aiello, was due to the
continued and gross negligence of Sher-
iff V. G. Mervine. and requesting the
sheriff to tender his resignation forth-
with so that a competent successor may
be appointed.
LONDON, June 18.—A sensational sto-
ry was current in London last night of
the discovery of a plot to assassinate
King Edward. The story has created
considerable discussion in newspaper
and other circles, but it is lacking in
anything like official confirmation.
According to the current report King
Edward’s sudden illness at Aldershot
was not due to a cold but was merely
an excuse for withdrawing his majesty
from public functions owing to the dis-
covery by Scotland yard detectives of a
plot against his life. It is cited in con-
firmation of this story that King Ed-
ward’s recovery when he was at Wind-
sor Castle was as complete and speedy
as his attack had been sudden.
MONTREAL, June 18.—A letter re-
ceived here from Stilwell Parker, of
Headship Harbor, N. S., states that on
June 2nd a bottle was picked up 45
miles east of Halifax containing the,
following note written on a scrap of
paper:
“Steamer Huronian turned over Sun-
day night in Atlantic. In small boat
fourteen of us.”
The Allan liner Huronian bound from
Glasgow for ‘St. John, N. B., sailed
from the former port on February 7th
and nothing up to this time has been
heard of her, although several steam-
ers have searched for traces of her.
PHILADELPHIA, June 18.—Hon. D.
J. Hill, assistant secretary of state, de-
livered an address last night before the
General Alumni Society of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. His topic was
“Our National Development.” Among
other things he said there was nothing
so impressive in the latter half of the
nineteenth century as our national de-
velopment; the American people stand
before the world as the champions of
peace, justice and liberty, to whom the
allusions of empire do not appeal.
POCATELLO, Idaho, June 18.—Exact-
ly at 12 o’clock yesterday 1,300 men and
boys of all ages rushed across the line
of the ceded Fort Hall reservation and
disappeared in a cloud of dust in their
rush for homestead and mineral lands.
Most of them were mounted on horses
and fponies and a majority of them
heavily armed. Probably a thousand
persons departed later with pack ani-
mals. Before 2 o'clock Pocatello was
practically deserted. Many signs
of trouble were apparent before the
starting signal was given. In scores of
instances it was known that three or
four men intended to locate on the same
piece of land.
GETTYSBURG, June 18.—Dewey, aged
4 years, and Irene, aged 12 years, chil-
dren of Jeremiah Small, were drowned
near Hendricks station, this county,
Monday night by falling into an aban-
doned stone quarry. The boy fell into
the water and his sister in attempting
to rescue him got beyond her depth and"
both were drowned.

Root Stands for It.
Assumes Full Responsibility for
Money to General Gomez.
Payment of
W AsHINGTON, June 17. — Secretary Root
has assumed full responsibility for the
payment of money to (eneral Gomez by
General Wood during the American oc
cupation of ( uba and if congress asks for
an explanation of the matter he stands
prepared to furnish what he regards as
the most convincing proofs that the pay-
mente were dictated by the wisest states-
manskip.
At the war department a high official
stated the position of the department in
the matter as follows :
“The conditions in Cuba two years ago
were precarious, Not a cuban believed
that the United States government ever
would withdraw from Cuba and the half-
famished veterans of the Cuban army
were in a dangerous mood and clamoring
for their pay. General Gomez was the
head and front of their army and had
served the revolutionary cauce as its
principal leader without having received
a cent of pay. General Woods thougnt,
and Secretary Root thought afterwards,
that General Gomez was entitled to con-
sideration, to a home which was supplied
him and in which bes entertained his
comrades, and to an income which, at
least, might be set down as a small offset
to the money due Gomez trom the Cuban
republic. That the Cubans themselves
regarded the matter in the same light
was shown by the passage by the present
Cuban congress, among the very first of
its acts, of a bill providing a liberal pen-
sion for General Gomez. It is believed
that but for this assumption of the costs of
Gomez's living expenses, the conditions
in Cuba might have paralleled those in
the Philippines, and the United States,
after fighting Spain to secure freedom for
the Cubane, might have been obliged to
turn on them the force of her armies,
**The necessity beiug present then, in
Secretary Root’s view, the only other
point was the legality and propriety of
the payments. He soon satisfied himeslf
that there was not the slightest doubt on
that core. The military governor was
obliged to assume the responsibility for
his disburrements and to exerciee his dis-
cretion. General Brooke did this and af-
ter him General Wood, and Secretary
Root now fally approves offering aid, in-
cluding the payments to Gomez.”’
It is pointed out at the war department
as a curious fact that congress has been in
full possession of the information that
Gomez had been receiving these pay-
ments for no less than two years past.
The war department that far back sub-
mitted to congress the full statement of
all expenditures in Cuba and incladed in
the list wae a statement of the payment
to General Gomez.
Went Back to Tobacco in Interest of
Economy.
A man who chewed twenty cents worth
of tobacco a week, says an exchange, con-
cluded to try a tobacco cure. In two weeks
he ate $1.50 worth of the cure and for the
next two weeks he used ten cents worth of
candy, five cents worth of peanuts and five
cents worth of cough drops per day. Dur-
ing these two weeks he also consumed two
large rubber erasers, ate the rubber tips
from fourteen lead pencils, chewed up a
dozen penholders and browsed of his
moustache as high as he could reach. He
is now chewing tobacco in the interest of
economy.
Cardinals Favor Offer for Lands.
Governor Taft's Proposal for Purchase of Friars’
Possessions Is Approved.
ROME, June 16.—The complete success
of the negotiations between Judge Taft,
Governor of the Philippines, and the
Vatican on the subject of the friar lands in
those islands appears assured, four out of
the five cardinals composing the sub-com-
mittee of cardinals favoring the Governor’s
proposals. Cardinal Steinhuber, a Jesuit,
opposes them.
After the completion of the negotiations
an acute conflict is expected between the
Vatican officials and the Filipino religious
orders regarding the disposition of the
money which the United States will pay
for the lands. The Vatican considers that the
money ought to be given to the Propaganda,
or society of cardinals having the care and
oversights of foreign missions.

A DECISION IN THE REEDER-QUIGLEY
CONTROVERSY.—Judge Love handed down
a very voluminous decree, on Tuesday
evening, bearing on the various points of
controversy arising between Col. W. F.
Reeder and H. C. Quigley in the dissolu-
tion of their law partnership. The gen-
tlemen being unable to effect an amicable
settlement carried their business into court
for adjustment.
The principal point of contest was on the
matter of a receiver and, in the event of
the appointment of such, who should be
made receiver. Col. Reeder’s counsel
argued that he should be appointed but
the court appointed Harry Keller Esq., and
also ruled that Mr. Quigley has rights in
the office occupied by the old firm of Reeder
& Quigley until the expiration of their
rental contract.
It is stated that the ruling is entirely
satisfactory to both parties, though Col.
Reeder’s attorneys have filed some formal
exceptions to it.

THE HoN. JoHN HARBISON HOLT.—
The Hon. John Harbison Holt passed away
ab his country home near Moshanton, on
Monday evening, after an illness that bad
continued since early last fall, though the
direct cause of his death is supposed to
have been a severe fall he received but a
few weeks ago.
Mr. Holt was a pleasant gentleman whose
social qualities were such as to win hosts
of friends. He was a pioneer in the lum-
ber and coal business of the Snow Shoe
district, but with all his business activities
he took a keen interest in politics and it
was but a fitting recognition of faithful
service to the Democracy that he was sent
to the Legislature for two terms from Cen-
tre county. He made an honorable repre-
sentative and returned to his home and
constituents with a record of service that
his posterity may he proud of.
Deceased was born at Snow Shoe, Sep-
tember 28th, 1828. His education was se-
cured in the common schools. He first be-
came a civil engineer and later engaged in
lumbering, farming and mining. He was
a member of the lumber firm of J. H.
Holt & Co., which during the Johnstown
flood 10st $20,000 by the high water. His
firm, however, was generally highly suc-
ozssful and he amassed considerable money:
He was elected nine years as an election
clerk, thirty-three years as a school direc-
tor, one year as a justice of the peace and
four years in the Pennsylvania State Leg-
islature. For twenty-five years he was an
elder in the Presbyterian church. At the
time of his death he was president of the
Salt Tick Gas Company and was also en-
gaged in farming.
April 5th, 1852, he was married to Letitia
F. Askey, of Snow Shoe, who preceded
him to the grave eight years ago. Jan. 9th,
1896, he was again married to Mary H.
Denlinger, of White Hall, Cumberland
county, who survives him.
The following children by his first wife
also survive him: Oscar, of Winburne,
Clearfield county; Edgar, of Northumber-
land; Frank, of Beech Creek; Samuel A.,
and Wilber H., of Snow Shoe; Nannie J.,
wife of J. Kennedy Johnston, of Belle-
fonte, and Harry C., of Duquesne, Pa.
Mr. Holt was a member of Constans
Commandery, Knights Templar, of Belle-
fonte. and this order will bave charge of
the funeral which takes place from the
home of the deceased near Moshannon,
Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clcck. Inter-
ment will be made is Askey cemetery at
Moshannon.
Mrs. JosepH KELLEHER.—The death
of Mrs. Joseph Kelleher, which occurred
at her home on north Thomas street, on
Monday afternoon at 5 o’clock, was sin-
cerely deplored by all those who knew her
and by many who were not personally ac-
quainted with her. She had been married
only a few months, and was so happy and
pleased with her new home and so eminent-
ly amiable and diligent that her death was
most untimely. She was a well, healthy
woman and while banging curtains on Fri-
day hurt herself, but did not realize that
any serious consequences might ensue.
Saturday she was in such a precarious con-
dition all day from internal hemorrhages
that an operation was decided upon as the
only means of saving her life. Sunday
morning at 5 o’clock the operation was
performed by Drs. Hayes, Sebring and
Klump, and though she was very much
better on Monday and the most heroie
methods known to the profession were tried
she passed away suddenly at 5 o’clock.
Her maiden name was Miller, Elizabeth
Veronica, and she was born in Lock Haven
twenty-six years ago on the 25th of last Dec-
ember. Her marriage to Joseph Kelleher,
the conductor of the yard shifter of the
P. R. R. here, took place on the 11th of
Feb. and shortly afterwards they went to
housekeeping in the house on north Thomas
street recently occupied by Charles Tripple.
Her prospects of a long and happy life were
most promising and her death isa great
sorrow to her devoted husband and her
mother and sisters.
On Wednesday morning her body, ac-
companied by a number of friends, was
taken to the home of her mother, Mrs.
Annie Miller, in Lock Haven, and on
Thursday morning at 9 o'clock funeral
services were held in St. Agnes Catholic
church, where so recently her wedding was
celebrated. She is survived by her hus-
band, her mother and two sisters, Mrs.
E. A. Ryan and Miss Emma Miller, both of
Lock Haven. Her father died many years
ago and an only brother was killed while
working on the railroad.

JAcoB B. MARKLE.—Jacob B. Markle,
an aged resident of Stormstown, died at
the home of his son-in-law, William T.
Bailey, in that place on, Friday morning,
shortly after 10 o’clock of a general break-
ing down of the system. He was born in
York county, June 9th, 1813, but had been
a resident of this county since 1840. Up-
on the death of his wife, about twelve
years ago, he went to Stormstown to make
his home with his daughter and has resid-
ed there since. He is survived hy seven
of his ten children, Mrs. Mary Wilson and
Mrs. Eliza Poorman, of Linden Hall; Mrs.
Sarah McCool, of Missouri; Mrs. Alice
Bailey, of Stormstown; George Markle, of
Buffalo Run; Jacob, of Nittany, and Wil-
liam, of Kansas. He was a member of the
Evangelical church and interment was
made Sanday morning in Gray’s burrying

ent christian woman. Her death was par-
ticularly sad because it resulted from the

J. M. RossMAN.—Diabetes caused the
death of post-master J. M. Rossman at his
home at Clintondale, last Thursday, after
an illness that had extended over a period
of two years or more. Though it was
known that he could not survive the mal-
ady the end was very unexpected, as he
had been able to bearound and even chang-
ed the mail the day before his death.
*‘Just’’ Rossman, as he was familiarly
known, was a man whom Clintondale will
miss, for he had many sterling qualities of
heart and mind. A friend of all, a helper in
times of trouble and glad at the success of
those about “him he will be. genuinely
mourned. The extent of the feeling of
bereavement was shown by the fact that the
church at Lamar would not hold all who
gathered to pay the last tribute to him on
Sunday.
He was born 54 years ago. When only
16 years old he enlisted in Co. E, 7th
Cavalry and served with honor under
Capt. Shafer, who is now living at Oscaloo-
sa, Kansas. In 1878 he removed to that
State and after suffering many hardships in
trying to establish himself there in the face
of drought and grass-hopper plagues re-
turned east and entered the employ of the
White Milling Co. where he remained un-
til ill health forced his retirement.
In addition to the office of post-master
he was secretary of the school board and
prominent in the order of K. G. E., which
officiated at his funeral.
A widow and seven children survive
him.
