tiled at 2; 35 o'clock. The collapse
came suddenly arid at a moment when
the doctors seemingly had the great-
est hopes for his recovery.
Soon after the end had come the
ministers were notified. The first
official to arrive at the death chamber
was the royal chaplain. The ministers
remained in the chamber for a con-
siderable time, discussing in subdued
tones the death and matters of state.
Leo|>old II was the son of the late
King Leopold I, upon whose death. In
1NH.", he succeeded to the throne. He
was born In Iirussells, April 9, 1837.
His.father was the former Prince of
Saxe-Coburg-Golha and his mother.
Princess Louise, was a daughter of
King Louis Phillippe of France.
August 22. 1853. King Leopold mar-
ried Archduchess Marie Henrietta,
daughter of Archduke Jos^ ph of Aus-
tria. She died September 19, 1902.
There were three daughters born of
this union—Louise, Stephanie and
Clementine. The two older princesses
jiave been estranged from their father,
but t lementlne remained in his afflic-
tions.
There is no direct hereditary heir,
hence tho crown will pass io Prince
Albert, the only son of Leopold's broth-
er, the late Phillippe. Count of Fland-
ers. The new monarch was born
\prll S. IS?:., and October 2. 1900, he
married Elizabeth of Itavarla. They
have three children—Prince Leopold.
K years old; Prince Charles, 6 years
old. and Princess Marie Jose. 3 years

Ths Teaching of Domestic Science
May Soon be Taken up by the
Government.
Washington, D. C.—The teaching
of domestic science on a broad scale
may be undertaken by the federal
government as the result of repre-
sentations that have been made to
congress by the National Pure Food
association, inls organization wishes
the government to conduct Investiga-
tions of the best methods of food
preparations and dispense Informa-
tion and instruction upon the subject
as done on matters pertaining to crop
cultivation.
Miss Emma C. Slckells, secretary of
the association, appeared before the
committee.- on agriculture and asked
that an apprpriation be made to pro-
vide for such investigations and the
dissemination of the information ob-
tained. The senate committee al-
ready has voted money for such an
appropriation.
Miss Sickeils pointed out that the
government Is doing much for the
farmers through the department of
agriculture, but practically nothing
for the farmers' wives. Tl>e latter
need instruction in the selection and
preparation of foods quite as much as
their husbands do In the handling of
soils and crops.
Topeka. Kan.—The National Good
Roads Congress demands thu' the
government and the state eo-operat"
in a plan for good roads work. Reso-
lutions were adopted setting forth lhat
as the roads were public property and
used by everyone, that the govern-
ment and the state should help the
counties, the township and the abut-
ting property owners to pay the bills.
It Is possible that some detailed idea
of what each department of govern-
ment should pay for the roads may be
worked out and Indorsed before id-
Journment.
The association also Indorsed the
building of a military road from Fort
Leavenworth to Fort Riley, the road
to be built entirely by the govern-
ment, either by convict or hired labor,
and to be under the supervision of the
government, but open to the use of the
public. It was argud that such a road
would be a great impetus to general
road building and the construction of
laterals to touch this road.
The proposition to build a brick road
from Leavenworth to Kansas City was
also considered. Part of this road has
already been built and Warden Cod-
ding of the state penitentiary has an-
nounced that the plans are being
formed to complete it.
The chief addresses of the congress
'his morning were by George W.
Cooley, state highway enginer of
Minnesota, and I'rof. W. C. Hoad,
state sanitary engineer of Kansas.
Mr. Cooley discussed the different
kinds of rock anil dirt roads in Min-
nesota and other states and in Europe

A Commission Finds That City Paid
Too Much for Inferior Coal
and Oil.
Chicago. Illinois —Information glean-

which was appointed by the city coun-
cil to probe municipal financial affairs,
reveals that the Chicago Fire Appara-
tus Coi&puny, of- which Harry Smith,
private secretary to Mayor Busse, is
president, and a brother of City
Treasurer Connery, vice-president, not
only sold coal to the city at a 200 per
cent profit, but "cleaned up" also on
oil transactions with the municipality.
For oil the company received from
five to ten cents a gallon more than
the market price, and the investigat-
ing commissioner learns that the oil

United States Steel Corporation De-

Threatened Strike.
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania —Pittsburg
will be the chief battle ground of the
war declared by the labor uuions of
this country and Canada against the
United State* Steel corporation. There
Is unusual.activity among the captains
and lieutenants of the industry and a
number of secret conferences were
held.
It' was held that the corporation
basei Its bepe of preventing the strike
on the fact that 40,000 employes own
stock In the corporation, which is pay-
ing them good dividends and steadily
increasing in value.
There are 175.000 steel employes In
and around Pittsburg who have never
taken advantage of this opportunity to
purchase the company's stock. Yet
the steel magnates believe if the 40.-
000 stockholding employes remain
steadfast no strike will be ordered.
In Order That His Country Might Re-
sume Friendly Relations With
United States He Quits.
Managua. Nicaragua.—President Ze-
lava -cabled a conciliatory message to
President Taft saying that he had
shown his good faith by rc'gning in
order that Nicaragua might resume
friendly relations with the I'nited
States. The message read:
On December 4 I cabled Washing-
ton this message:
"Secretary Knox: I believe that thfc
sources of your information are prej-
udiced and request that the I'nited
States send a commission of investiga-
tion. If Its findings show my adminis-
tration to be detrimental to Central
America I will resign."
I have received no reply. To avoid
harm to my country and desiring that
It shall renew friendly relations with
the L'nlted States. 1 have sent my
resignation to congress. As my op
ponents consider my presence a dis-
turbing factor I propose to show my
good faith by leaving Nicaragua. I
stand ready to account for my acts.
