The King of Denmark, Christian IV., Is one year old er; there aro three German Bovurelgns older than Queen Victoria, and Pope Leo XI II. was li years old when Queen Vic toria was born. Hut In respect of the duration of her reign, Queen Victoria Is the oldest living of sovereigns, for she ascended the throne of Great Britain in 15.37, and on June 'JD next will complete tho sixtieth year of her reign. The next oldest of the sovereigns of the world Is Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary, who ascended the throne in Vienna In 1S4S. Sixty years' reign for one monarch is an unusiiul thing, even in England where revolutions have been rare and wheie the present royal family is or great lon gevity. George I, reigned twelve years; George II. , thirty-three years; George III., fifty-nine years nnd three months; George IV,, ten years; William IV., sev en years. Edward III. reigned fifty years; Henry VIII., thirty-eight years; Mary, live years, and fillzn.beth, forty-four years. In honor of the queen's sixty years' reign many patriotic Englishmen are already preparing celebrations and festivities designed to show the Increase of England's Inlluonro and her progress in commerce nnd the mechanical arts since ISU7. Great preparations have been made for the International electrical and engineering exhibition at Novvcnstle-on-Tyne.

New castle is well chosen for this purpose, because not only is it a great center of manufacturing industry, but It Is repre sentative of many of those Interests which have grown most notably since 1837. Beginning In Apt 11, a similar exhi bition will be held ut Blackpool. This exhibition will be less representative of tho mechanical advance In England than of the growth of the country In other dl lectlonp.

From the Washington Post, Through all Ms long service as the chief executive of the nation Mr. Cleve land has held steadfastly and lmpertur bably to bis convictions of tight. He lias yielded not the. fraction of an inch in any position he has assumed. His opinions have never been the opinions of the last one who talked to him. He has been no weakling to be swayed and turned and faced about by otheis. Without faltering or hesitation, submitting to no pressure from any source and accepting dictation at noinan's hands, he lias done the thing that commended Itself to his sober Judg ment and his prayerful conscience. Ac cording to his lights, he has upheld the credit of the nation; in tho way that seemed to him best, he has maintained Its dignity and honor; in perfect sincerity of purpose and Inspiration he has endeav ored to keep, the great republic In the true pathway of civilization and enlight ened humanity. He has presented the spectacle of a courageous and determined ruler, profoundly conscious of the great responsibility resting upon him, and hon estly and bravely striving to discharge It In good faith and overflowing measure. We believe that Mr. Cleveland retire to private life with the respect, the good will, the conlldence, and tho gratitude or the masses of the American people with out regard to party feeling. Wo believe that history, as made In the calmness or unbiased and dispassionate retrospect, and In the light of accomplished demonstra tion, will do Mr. Cleveland perfect and abiding justice. A IlKCOl.LF.CTIOX. It was Indeed a perfect day, I scarce recall the weather; But autumn calm and bloom of May Seemed mingled there together. Then melody made sweet the hours; Each sentence was a ballad. Tho rocks were Jewels; weeds were flowers, When Mary dressed tho salad. No vernal sceno whoso blandishment Will welcome)' beset us, Can have tho fascination lent By that small sprig of lettuce. And vainly must musicians toll From stage or festal wagon, For tones like those with which the oil Camo loitering from tho flagon. Strango how these merchant-chemists mar Each once-alluring savor! How tasteless Is tho vinegar) How dull the pepper's flavor! Oftlmes .when sterner moods are planned ' Thoso memories come pressing: That salad day; tho sunshine and Tho girl who made the dressing.

REMONSTRANCES AGAINST SALOONS l'onn Avenue Baptist Cougrcgntion Tultcs Kqunl steps to Prevent the Grunting of Licenses to Four Near by I'lnccs'-Opciiing of mi ICpls copal Hostel on Capousc Avenue. News Notcs--Scrviccs Tomorrow in tho Churches of the City. The Penn. Avenue Baptist church, through Its ofllclnl board, has come out llat-footed with remonstrances against the granting of licenses to four saloons near the church structure. The le monstrances are In legal form and were filed Monday In the clerk of the court's office by Attorney H. M. Street er, who Is a member of the clutch board. The remonstrances are ugulnst John C. Welchel, whose wholesale liquor store Is separated from the church by only two brick walls on Its north side; Frank M. Amsbry's saloon which im mediately adjoins Welchel's place, the two being separated by a partition: Michael Brannun, whose saloon Is on the northeast corner of the block op posite the church, and Christ Uotner Inger, whose saloon Is across the street flom the church "and almost opposite It at No. 233. It Is declared In the re monstrances that the places referred to are unnecessary and Injurious to the Welfare of those who worship at the church. Particular attention Is given Welchel's place, It Is stated In the re monstrance, Is so close to the church structure as to be specially Injurious to those who worship there and Is con ducted In an obectlonable manner. The members and officers of the church have long been objecting to the many liquor establishments In Its neighbor hood, but this is the Initial effort ut legal remonstrance. A new and commendable kind of charity work has been started by the Order of the Good Shepherd (Episcopal) In tho establishment of a hostel or home for poor, convalescent men. The hostel Is located at 813 Capouse ave nue, and Is the result of the work of Brothor Francis. It was opened with special services Monday, when Revs. Rogers Israel, F. S. Ballentlne, M. II. Mill and E. J. Haughton participated. The work will be conducted there un til a suitable building can be erected on land given for the pur)se at Elm hurst by Colonel U. G. Sehoonmnker; then the present building may be con tinued as an emergency station. Money and anything In the way of house sup plies, such as single beds and bedding, groceries, fuel, will be gratefully re ceived at the hostel. The Women's Foreign Missionary so cieties of the city's Methodist churches held a union meeting Monday after noon nt Elm Park church. Miss Sarah Sloeum, of Simpson church, presided.

The approaching departure of Rev. and Mrs. E. L. Miller for South Beth lehem, where he assumes the pastorate of a thriving Lutheran congregation, was preceded by a farewell reception to them on Monday evening at the Young Women's Christian association rooms by members of Trinity Luther an church and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Miller from othpr denominations. There were addresses by Rev. Dr. James McLeod, of the First Presbyter Ian church, and Kev. A. L. Ranter, of St. Mark's Lutheran church, of the West Side.

The Women's guild will uld In furnishing the home. The project Is non-denomlnatlonal and highly com mendable. For the transportation of the home's beneficiaries the Delaware, Lackawannn and Western company has made so low a rate that the cost will be no more than was the case when the home was temporarily located at Dalton and Lake Ariel. Rev. L. F. Foster, a student at Au burn Theological seminary, will be asked to accept the joint pastorate of the Sumner Avenue and the Taylor Presbyterian churches. Both organiza tions have small memberships, and the general condition Is lamentably debili tated.

Jones was pastor of tho Sumner Avenue church, Ho received a call which ho accepted from the Taylor church, nnd' for a time ho preached there. Both churches were pnHtorless and to solve tho problem of success or failure the Idea of one pastor to the both churches wus suggested, One attempt was made to select a minister, but nt one church there was 19 members and at the other there wore 11 members assembled to vote on the candidates.

In regard to the "prayer band" and Its mission, Mr. De Gruchy Is quoted as saying that, to his ears, there Is nothing so inspiring In a church service than to hear u band of musical instruments pouring forth "tock of Ages" or some other fa miliar hymn.
