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. --—New York Post. 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.
