King Proclaimed. | FREDERICK VIII DROPS DEAD ON STREETS OF SAXONY. Ruler’s Body Was Taken to Hospital Morgue, Where Attendants, Alarmed at His Absence, Found Him. Christian X., eldest son of the dead King Frederick VIIL., was proclaimed king of Denmark from the balcony of the palace in Copenhagen in the presence of a huge concourse of peo- ple who had assembled in the square in front of the royal residence. The prince will be forty-two years old on Sept. 26 next. He was married in 1898 to Princess Alexandrina of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. He has two sons. DROPPED DEAD ON STREET King Frederick Stricken With Apc- plexy While Walking In Hamburg. King Frederick VIL. of Denmark died alone and unrecognized on the sidewalk of one of the principal streets of Hamburg, Germany. The body was removed by the po- lice to a public hospital, where it was identified later by members of the king's suite who had accompanied him | to Hamburg. King Frederick was in his sixty-’ ninth year and was a brother of Queen Mother Alexandra of England, the dowager empress of Russia and | the king of Greece. The king, traveling incognito, had arrived in Hamburg Monday on his return from a long trip to the south, where he had been convalescing from | a serious attack of inflammation of the lungs. With the queen and the royal suite, he took quarters at the! Hamburger Hof. At 10 o'clock Tuesday night the king left the hotel unaccompanied for his | usual stroll before retiring. He had gone only a short distance when he | was overcome on the street by a sud- | den attack of apoplexy. | When members of the king's suite | became alarmed over his failure to! return to the hotel after a reasonable | time, they called in the proprietor, and | a search was begun. The searchers! found his majesty dead at the hos- pital and brought his body back to the hotel with them. King Frederick and Queen Louisa, who had traveled to Hamburg from | Nice under the incognito of the Count | and Countess of Kronberg, had their three youngest children, Princess Thyra, Prince Gustav and Princess | Dagmar, with them. King Frederick had been undergo- | ing a course of treatment for arterio- | ; sclerosis, with which he had been | troubled for a considerable time. He had also suffered from an attack of in- flammation of the lungs, but this had been completely overcome. When he left the Hamburger Hof | after a hearty dinner, the king strolled | toward the “Goose market,” one of the | principal squares in the business sec- tion of the city and just around the corner from the hotel. A few minutes later some pedestrians noticed an elderly gentleman fall to the sidewalk. He was dressed in an ordinary busi- ness suit and appeared to be a well to-do tradesman. The pasgersby ran to the spot to assist him, but he was al- ready dead. A policeman was called and he had the body conveyed in an automobile to the Sailors’ hospital. The physicians on duty there on examination found that death had been instantaneous. There was nothing on the body which afforded a clew to its identifi- cation, and it was placed in the mor- tuary of the hospital. It was much later in the evening that the royal suite, which had be- come anxious owing to the king's ab- sence, heard of the incident that had occurred on the “Goose market.” As their inquiries in regard to the king's movements had up to then proved fruitless they, together with the pro- prietor of the hotel, proceeded to the hospital to look at the body there, al- though they did not suspect that it was that of his majesty. On arrival at the hospital they were confronted by the fact that the dead man was the king. Arrangements were immediately made for the body to be conveyed to the hotel, where it was laid out amid masses of flowers. Later the body was taken to Copen- hagen. The king was regarded by his phy- sicilans as completely restored to health by his trip to the south. Tues | day he felt particularly well, and dur-' ing the day expresse! joy at his ex-| pected return to Copenhagen. He re marked that he felt refreshed and completely restored to health. The flags on all the public buildings in Hamburg, where the king had re peatedly been a welcome guest, were placed at half mast. Several months ago King Frederick suffered a serious illness. While tak. ing his customary walk in Copenhagen he had a sudden seizure, and was com. petied to return to the palace. Later it was announced that he had suffered a chill, but the real nature of his mal. ady was not disclosed. While he show. ed rapid recovery, he¢ suffered a re lapse two weeks later, and consider able anxiety was expressed by mem: bers of the court as to his condition. RICHESON MUST DIE Council Adjourns Without Hearing Anything of Petition For Leniency. After a short session at its offices in the state house in Boston. the executive council adjourned with- out Governor Foss having referred to the body any petition for leniency for Rev. C. V. T. Richeson. This means that Richeson must die. 623 262 Converted In M. E. Missions. “This board began its work four years ago without a Sunday school missionary in any field,” was the open- ing statement in the report of t-e board of Sunday schools, presented 0 the general conference of the Method- ist Episcopal church in Minneapolis, Minn. “It has sont out many missionaries into all parts of the United States and into other lands. As a result of such extension work, the following facts are noted,” the report continued: “New schools established, 1128; en- rollment in these schcols, 42,000; church organizations resulting, 204; new churches actually built, 17; value of these churches, $220,650. The spirit. ual results of the work for the four years ending in 1912 is 623,262 ccn- versions.” Food Prices at Highest Point. Prices of commodities have reached the highest point ever touched in the records kept by Rradstreets Journal in New York, which for years has tabulated praces of all classes of com: modities, and found an “index num ber,” which hits a carefully compiled average of prices, month by month. The figure for May 1 shows an in- dex number of $9.2746, & figure which exceeds any previous figure during the twenty years that the index number has been compiled. It shows a rise in prices of 1.9 per cent since April 1 of this year, and a rise of 9.7 per cent since a year ago. The previous high record, made Jan. 1, 1910, was $9.2310, “Comparison with May 1, 1908" says Bradstieets Journal, “reveals an increase of 11.7 per cent, while con trast with the like date in 1908, waen quotations were suffering from the ef- fects of economic depression, displays an advance of 16.4 per cent.” Famous Feudist Dead. Ed Callahan, who was shot from ambush last Thursday morning while he was at work in his store at Crock: ettsville, Ky., died of his wounds at the Witherspoon hospital at Buckhorn, in Breathitt county. Callahan was shot through the left lung, and at first it was thought he would recover, the ball having passed entirely through his body and the wound had drained well, Last Friday pneumonia set in and he continued to grow worse. The famous feudist made his will and gave a statement of his belief as to the iden- tity of his assassins to the members of his family gathered about him. The names he divulged to them, however, are kept secret. ——Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. Real Estate Transfers. SN, 8S. Craft to Daniel Hahn et al, » acres in Burnside twp.; $60.
