Properly speaking. King Victor Emanuel of Italy relinquished the ; title on his accession to the Ital • lan throne, but on all tire coins j. | issued by the kings of Sardinia 1 ( ; there were the words, "King of j | Cyprus and Jerusalem." I' Charles of Austria and Alfonso , of Spain hold the right to the title through the courts of Castile and Bourbon-Espagne. i Never lias such a short-lived , kingdom had so many crowned heads of such diverse origin. Je- ' rusalcm was a kingdom from 1089 to 1187, when Satadin captured , the city. It was revived for ten years—l 229 to 1239 by Emperor 1 Frederick 11. , Up to the time of its extinction, there were ten kings or queens of ' Jerusalem. < THE WEATHER]: For lliirrlsliurg unit vicinity > , Generally cloudy to-night and Friday t not much chnnge In < temperature, lowest to-night it In, nt IS degrees. 1 For Eastern Pennsylvaniai Gen- i crally cloudy to-night and Frl ilnyt little change In tempera- > ' lurct gentle to moderate north- , west winds.
