rune Queen’s Life.
Amsterdam, Sept. 6.—-I?Viihelmina
Helena. Pauline liiaria, great grand-
daughter of V‘Jilliam of Orange, and
daughter of William III and 'rrmcess
Emma, has to-day taken the oath of
Office and been CI‘UWLGJ queen of the
Netherlands. The coronation occurred
at 10 p. m., in Nieuw-e Kirk, a cathe-
dral like place which dates back to the
early part of the fifteenth century.
This building is celebrated for its
thirty—four altars, its splendid wm—
dows, its wonderfully carved pulpit, its
famous tombs. Here were crowned
the great Prince of Orange and Wil—
liam II and III.- ., - .
The installation of Quecn"Nilhelmi-
na was an impressive but simple affair.
It was attended by the diplomatic
corps and many distinguished foreign—
ers, including several noted east lu-
dian princes and a vast concourse of
her subjects. ; .
The young queen was attended to the
' throne by the court, including the head
marshal, the high Chamberlain, the
chief master of ceremonies, aides-den
camp, and gentlemen and ladies in
waiting.
She wore the royal purple and car-
ried the golden sceptre of power. B.-
fore ascending the throne Queen VVil—
helmina took the following solemn
oath of oflice:
“I swear to the Dutch people that I
will observe and always maintain the
constitution. I swear that 1 will defend
and guard with all my power the inde-
pendence and the territory of the em—
pire, that I will protect public and
private liberty, and the rights of all
my subjects, and that I will use every
means confided to me by law to. foster
and uphold the national and individual
well being, as a goodquecn should do.
And may God help me."
QUEEN WILEELMINA
The president and members then
took the oath of fealty to the queen
and the ceremony was over. To-night
there will be grand displays of fire-
works, illuminations of streets and ca-
nals and a general time of reioicing.
For a. whole week the merry making
and pleasures will go on in this staid
old town of Amsterdam and the slow-
paced', honest people of this wonderful
country are not likely soon to forget
the crowning of the maiden queen.
Wilhelmina Helena Pauline Maria.
queen of Holland, was born on August
31, 1880, and according to the law of
her country the sovereign comes of. age
at 18.
The young queen is tho daughter of
the late King William III, and of his
second wife, Princess Emma, daughter
of Prince George Vic-tor of W'aldeck.
She succeeded to the throne'on the
death of her father, November 23, 1830,
when she was but ten years old. Since
then her mother has been acting as
queen regent.
The little queen’s mother was but. a
year older than her daughter is now
when s e was called to the throne, for
she was on nineteen when she was
married to William III.
He was then an old man. His first
wife was Sophia, daughter of the King
of Wurtemburg, whom he married in
1839, when still the prince of Orange.
The princess was a woman of rather
strong will, and from all the stories
that have come down to us, her royal
consort needed just such a woman to
look after him. He was not particular
about what he did and his carryings on
were the talk of Europe for many
years. She managed to keep him with—
in some sort of bounds for a few years
until his father died and he became
the king, with a fortune of 100,000,000
florins to squander. The money had
more effect on him than me will power
of his consort, and even before her
death he was a great admirer of the
stage.
When he was 62 years old, however,
he really fell in love. The object of
his affections was'Pri'ncess Helen of
Waldeck-Pyrmont, now the widowed
Duchess of Albany. She was then but
22 years old, and the suit of her an-
cient lover met with a very cold .re-
ception. The king was much mortified,
but one day he heard her sister Emma
remark to her that she herself would
never-have refused to be a queen,
whereupon the king switched around
and fell in love with .Emma.
William had two sons by his first
wife. The elder died after a career of
dissipation in Paris, and the other was
afflicted with an incurable spine dis-
ease, and so was unfit for the throne.
The queen regent devoted all her
energies to the education of her daugh-
ter. “I intend to make her something
better than a strong woman," she said.
“I intend to make her a king."
She has certainly made her daugh-'
ter a strong, self-reliant and well ed-
,_ucated and progressive young person.
PRIZE MONEY MAY REACH A MILLION
That Amount Will Be Distributed Among
- American Sailors,
Washington, Sept. 6.—At least $1,-
000,000 prize money will be distributed
among American sailors as a result of :
the war with Spain. i
More than one-half of this sum will
be paid in accordance with that section |
of law'prcviding for the payment of;
a bounty for persons on board vessels1
of war sunk in action. The rest will1
be turned into the treasury for dis-l,
tribution by the courts which shall'
Pass upon vessels of the enemy capt-
ured by American men of war.
Although not a. penny of prize mon-
ey has yet been turned into the treas-
ury, Judge Advocate General Lemly
and his chief clerk, Mr. Hanna, are
engaged in considering the various
claims for prize money which have‘
been filed by officers and men, and in
passing upon the various questions
which have arisen in connection with
such claims.
From the official report of Admiral
Montojo, commanding the Spanish
fleet sunk at Manila, there were 1,875
persons on board the ships under his
command. The Spanish fleet was «of
inferior force to the American squad--
ron, and Rear Admiral Dewey’s men?
will therefore get only $100 for each.
person.
It is’ estimated that the aggregate'
amount ‘due the Asiatic fleet as a re- 5
sult of the destruction of the Spanish?
force, amounts to $187,500, which Con-l
gress will be asked to appropriate dur-I
ing the coming session. ‘One twentieth .
of this sum belongs to Rear ,‘Admirall
Dewey, as commander—in-chief, and he 5
will, therefore, be $9,375 richer than he!
was before the war. I
Rear Admiral Sampson has realized!
a snug little fortune as a result of the
war. As commander-in-chtef of the
North Atlantic fleet he will get. one-
twentieth of every prize taken in
North Atlantic waters, and one-tWen-
tieth of the head money allowed for the
vessels destroyed off Santiago and in
Guban ports. It is estimated that he
will finally receive about $40,000 as his .
share of prize money.
In determining the amount of head
money due officers and men it will be:
necessary for the department to de-,
cide whether a vessel destroye’d wasE
inferior or superior to her antagonist.
If the latter the American ship will
be entitled to $200 for each pers - on
board the enemy’s vessels. Of course'
this will swell the amount of prize:
money due the rear admiral.
It is estimated that, including the
Mercedes, sunk by thte Massachusetts
at the mouth of the harbor of fimtia-
go, there were 2,432 persons on board
the Spanish fleet destroyed by. Rear
Admiral Sampson’s fleet, which was
superior, to the enemy, and the am-
ount of head money due the fleet will
consequently aggregate $249,200.

vorite in the betting at 100 to 80. Lin-
ton had quite a number of followers,

LANCERS" BRAVE CHARGE-
Additional Particulars in Regard to the
Fighting in the Snudan—Gordou is
Avenged an‘d Malidism is Ended—Jrhe
Dervishes Fought Fiercely and Lost
From.Ten to Fifteen Thousand‘ Killed.
London, Sept. 5.——The war office at
1.10 o’clock this morning received a re—
port from the commander of the forces
at Omdurman stating that the number
of officers, and men killed in the fight-
ing which resulted in the victory of the
Anglo—Egyptian expedition r "‘r the
Dervishes was forty-six offices and
men killed and 333 wounded.
A special dispatch to the Daily News
says that the 'Lancers, who hacked
their way through the Dervish lines in
the face of a murderous fire, were en-
trapped by the nature of the ground.
They were advancing in proper forma-
tion with scouts thrown out, when they
suddenly discovered a force of seven
hundred Dervishes in the bushes.
The Lancers charged swiftly at the
Dervishes, who fell back upon a still
‘larger force, with the result that the
Lancers found themselves exposed to
the fire of two thousand men at close
quarters. -
In the charge they lost_ two‘ officers
and twenty men killed and four offi- .
cers and twenty-one men wounded.

, How. to Make d Bed. . '
fiveryo'ne knows the famous tale of
('56 princess who could. not sleep be-
cause under her many mattresses a
pea was lodged. In reality the ancient
royalties were just as fussy, to judge
from the strange rules of etiquette
which surrounded the most trivial
objects.
The following is a. true account of
the way His Majesty Henry VII. had
his Royal bed made: It is taken from
an old manuscript, and it is certainly
amusing:
“The curtains must be drawn, and
a; gentleman usher must hold the 'cur-
tains together; then must two stiuires
of the body stand at the bed’s head,
and two yecmen of the Crown at the
bed’s,jeet, and all the stuff laid safe
at the bed’s feet on a carpet till the
contents of the palliasse were remade.
“Then a. yeoman to leap upon the
bed, and roll him up and down, and
array the litter; then to lay down the
canvas again, then the feather bed, and
beat it well, and make it even and
smooth. Then take the fustian (1111-
der blanket), and cast it upon the bed
without any wrinkles, and the sheet
in the same wise.”
The sheet is now stroked smooth,
tucked under the feather bed, and over
it is laid “t’other stuff,” that is to say,
the upper sheet, blankets, and fustian,
and the covering of marten’s fur and
ermine.
A sheet of Rennes was laid on the
spot destined for the pillows, and a
large rug of ermine was placed over
the bed, and the bedclothes were
brought up to the edge of the pillow
and neatly turned down.
Finally "a yeoman was required to
beat the pillows and throw them up to
,the squires to lay them on the bed
this afternoon show that the only Bri- ‘
tish oflicers killed were
Grenfell of the Twelfth Lanciers and
Captain Caldecott of the Royal War-
wick regiment. The Anglo-Egyptian
casualties are divided as follows: MB'ri;
tish, killed ‘25, wounded 104; natives,
killed 21, wounded 228. Ofiicers wound-
ed, 21, of which seven» were British.
The evening newspapers continue
their felicitation upon the victory and
declare that Gordon is avenged and
Mahdlsm killed.
The latest reports say that the for-
ces are still in pursuit of the Kha-
lifa.
The report,~together with further de- E fruit being omitted
tails contained in last night’s London
dispatches, follows:
The remnant of the Khalife’s forces
has surrendered. I have a very large
number of misoners. Cavalry and
gunboats are pursuing the Khalifa and
his chiefs. They have only 450 fight-
ing men with them.
I visited Khartoum to—day and found
it a complete ruin.
lighted. Khartoum is the best posi—
tion. Omdurman’s stench was unbear-
able, and therefore I have moved to
Khorshambat. The wounded are do-
ing well.
The Englifli newspaper correspond--
ents are unanimous in their acknowl~
edgements of the bravery of the Der-
vishes. '
The news of General Kitchener’s vic—
tory over the Dervishes at Omdurman
‘v'vas received with the greatest satis-
faction here, where it is held that Eng-
land has at last wiped out the stagma
attaching to her defeat in the previous
expedition to the Soudan.
Early this morning crowds uthered
about the statue in Trafalgar square
of General Charles (Chinese) Gordon,
who was killed at Khartoum on Janu—
ary 26, 1885, after having been besieged
in the city by the Dervishes for 337
. days.
Some one had placed on the pedestal
a placard with tthe inscription, “A'v-
enged at last,” and when the people
saw it they burst out into loud cheer-
mg. .
The feature of the battle (was a
charge of the Lancers on a large body
' of the enemy Who vastly outnumbered
them.
The Hon. Hubert Howard, second
son of the Earl of Carlisle, who was
acting as a war correspondent of the
Times, was wounded. The correspon-
dent of the Daily News says that thtc
-Dervish loss was not less than 8,000
killed.
The Marquis of Lansdowne, secreta-
‘ ry of state for war, and General Lord
Wolseley, the commander-in—chief of
the British army, have sent dispatches
to General Kitchener, congratulating
him upon his victory over the Der-
vishes. The queen has also sent a. di-
rect message to General Kitchener.
The Ostimat. of the number of the
Dervishes engaged in the battle vary
from thirty thousand to fifty th‘ous-
and.
With the Khalifa was the harem of
Osman Digna. These women escaped.
A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph says
that tlfi number of Dervishes killed
was between ten thousand and fifteen
thousand. 3’

For the Summer Luncheon. ...
Now that it is a little late for grape-
lfruit in its perfection, early summer
iuncheons frequently start with a. lus-
3ious orange served as the shaddock
has been. If the orange is too sweet,
a. few drops of lemon juice and a bit
of rum‘gives it a pleasant flavor, the
' lump of sugar usually put in the grape-

One would ad—
vise, however, in the service of the
orange basket, ~ omitting the oyster
cocktail, which has been popular in the
grape-fruit course at spring and early
summer luncheons. This requires a
seasoning of tomato catsup, lemon
juice, and salt, and a few drops of to-
basco sauce, and the combination with
orange is not so satisfactory as with
the less steet shaddock. Cherries,
however, served in oranges are both
effective and appetizing. At a lun-
cheon the other day half of a luscious
orange rested on a. few cherry leaves.
Three or four large black cherries had
been carefully stoned and a blanched
almond inserted in place of'the pit. A
few drops of rum had_been added to
each orange, the cherries resting ’on
the pulp of the fruit. The course was
served ice-cold, a necessity with any
' of these combinations.
Light Furniture.
It isfia testimony to our growing san-
itary wisdom that bedrooms should.
now be so universally done in light ef-
fects. The heavy suits of furniture
deemed indispensable to the bride set-
ting up housekeeping a. generation ago,
and which took a considerable share
of the outfit-purchase money, are to-
day the most unsalable articles sent
to an auction-room. A large and
splendid black walnut- bedstead that
cost-$60 thirty years ago, Without even
springs, brought a dollar and shall?
at an auction sale. With it was sent
1 a. small white iron bedstead with brass
' sold the
trimmings, the sort that costs eight
and a. half to ten dollars. This was
same day for $3, a good
evidence of the proportionate demand
for the two articles. No heavy dra-
peries are out in the modern bedroom,
only dainty and washable stuffs. The
air is allowed to penetrate freely and
' the light as well, extra shades of green
Holland being provided to darken the
room for the morning nap. The heavy
mahogansr or walnut dresser has gone
with the big bedstead, the chiflonie?
and a little dressing-table with a
cheval—glass taking its place.
