New York Has a Queen.

_.fter what happened at the VValdorf-
A: toria on Wednesday evening last,
those scions of royalty who have re-
cently been unearthed in New York
may hang their diminished heads.
The “Order of the Crown” is no longer
the most august or the most ridiculous
thing in the metropolis.‘ The solemn
coronation of Miss Lavinia Dempsey
as “Queen of the Holland Dames and
of the Knights of the Legion of Honor
ed the Crown,” takes precedence of
every other function, society, fad, or
nonsense—es you choose to look at it—
nnd leaves all competitors hopelessly
'hehind.

We do not ask how a Dempsey—which
is one of the best and most respectable
old. names in Tipperary—comes to be a
Rolland Dame and a Queen into the
’Mcgain. I We have not asked hbw so
many New York millionaires all of a
sudden discovered their descent from
Kings of the middle ages. We haven’t,
have we? All through this tremendous
Business, [we have been scrupulously
considerate and reverent. It is no part
at our duty or desire to rake 11p old is-
sues, to uncover the buried centuries,
we pick flaws in noble genealogies, and
he cause pain to honest families who
are not responsible for the antics of
mystering progenitors. And if we re-
mained in the case of the “Order of the
Crown,” why should we not refrain
niacin the matter of her Dutch majesty,
Queen Dempsey? It is no concern of
ants. that she is a solid Hibernian per-
ms with a juicy brogue.

11f the great, great grandson of an
(estimable fiiitch peddler can be a direct
descendant of a Norman King of Eng-
lland, why cannot an illustrious Irish
My be the New York Queen of the
Enhand Dames ‘? No, no ! We do not
waddlein these unimportant details.
”iii-"hat concerns us is the fact that the
mtropolis, after two or three decades
ESE Anglomania, and after muchlabori-
one. burrowing into strange family
secrets, andinfinite worship of titles,
moronets, &c., has at last boldly thrown
off all unprofitable disguise and hesita-
'1ion,,sc0rned the faint-hearted plodding
search for ancestors, and set up a real
live Queen right in its very midst.

How much better this is ! Why beat
about the bush; pretend that we have
iiuuud a King who some centuries ago

painted the town and all its suburbs
every night; claim him as our long-lost
pa, and then proceed to hang a puzzl-
ing pedigree upon the outer wall ?
The Dempsey plan is infinitely better.
The Holland Dames have as much right
socrown a Queen as the 400 have to
make Princes and Princesses of the
grandchildren of worthy New York
and Philadelphia tradespeople. It is

easier and more courageous to found a

dynasty outright than to hark back
over an hiatus Of seven or eight cen-
turies in pursuit of a royal scapegrace.
‘We give our allegiance to Queen

'33?
whose dressmaker’s bill ran so high
she had nothing left over for caterer
or florist.

Leather hats studded with gold nails
and clasped with a gold padlock 'are
the latest mode for women who like
ultra novelties. , .

Mufl’s are getting so fanciful in de-
sign that it is hard to tell’exactly what
they are if you come upon one suddenly
that is not in use.

The fireplace in the nursery should
be guarded by a high fender, unless
parents are anxious to lose their
household treasures by fire. -

Don’t judge a' wOman’s age‘ by her
teeth, as, unlike a horse, the Older she
is the fewer she is likely to possess—if
they are her very owu.

The fox terrier is undoubtedly the
fashionable canine, judging by the
number seen on the street with the
young women of the best set.

Something other than the big hat
nuisance will have to be the next

 

grievance against women theatre-goers,
as this abomination has certainly
abated.

‘

A
’ ‘v' .

Foolish Excess of Discipline.
The practice in some public schools
of requiring the children, when mov-
:ng in a. .body, to observe more than
:he military rigidity of line, with pen-
tlties for looking in- other than a.
prescribed direction, or for liftingjthe
land to allay a facial irritation, reach-
es a climax in the San Francisco
schools. There, the boys, when lined
up in front of the school, awaiting
:he tap of the bell, are required to
stand with their arms folded across
:heir chests, exactly in the prison at-
:itude. When they move it is with
:he prison lockstep, and between rows
)f nails driven into the sidewalk, and
woe be to the unlucky youth who
steps over the line. The criticism of
:he method comes from a detective.
The boys, he claims, are acquiring a
labit which in later years will be a
source of annoyance and a cause of
suspicion. Discharged convicts, the
ietective asserts, frequently resume
:he prison habit-of the lockstep and

he folded arms when their minds are

preoccupied, and to the veteran police
)fl‘icer the motion and the attitude are
rs distinctive as the striped suit.

How To FIND OUT.

 

_ Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling- indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence

‘ of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire

to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in.the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in’ relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists,‘ price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail. Mention THE GAZETTE,
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamion, N. Y. The pro-
prietors of .this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this otter.
