Prince Louis, heir to the throne of Monaco, was born July 12, 1870, the son of Prince Albert, the present ru ler. The mother of Prince Louis was Lady Mary Douglas Hamilton to whom Prince Albert. was married In 1869. Monaco l a sniall principality with an area of only tight square miles and is surrounded entirely by French territory excepting on the side to- , ward the Mediterranean sea. The rev- enues are derived wholly from the fa mous gambling casino of Monte Carlo. Until a short time ago the prince was an absolute ruler, there being no elective representation. Last Janu ary the popular demand forced the ruler to grant a constitution. Th people, however, are not entirely sat isfied with the constitution and it is possible hat Prince Louis may never become ruW of the l!tt! principality, t Yet it Is scarcely believed that popu lar antagonism will go to the length The first wreck on the Oregon Trunk ' a revolution, and it Is expected that been caleld for next September, when the Issuance of more than $2,000,000 of municipal bonds will be submitted to the electors.

This petition originated ln Europe, among members of the In- s Strongly Oppoitd. "Are you In fnvor of granting suf frage to women 7" "No, sir," replied the man who was chewing tobacco.

Tha i Duke of Alva's "Tenth Penny" That Caused Riots In Spain.

( For six years be was governor gen eral of tbe Netherlands and levied a tax called the "tenth penny." or -10 per cent upon every article of mer chandise, to be paid as often aS It should be sold. He assessed real and personal property 1 per cent ; to be paid Instantly und collected once, and on every transfer of realty be exacted 6 per cent. ' U Every one In the land, excepting Alva himself, perceived bow utterly ridiculous a scbeme.lt would prove, but he persisted tn enforcing the rule. Tbe towus rebelled, and examples by dozens were mude of refractory sub jects, who were tortured to death, but to no purpose.
