Queen Mary's Brother to Succch the Duke of (‘onnaughh A despatch from London says: Prince- Alexander of Teck, third son of the late Duke of Teak, is to suc- ceed the Duke of Connau‘ght ans Governor-General of Canada. His Senene Highness Prince Alexâ€" ander Augustus Frederick George of Tack, G.C.B., G.C.V.O., was born April 14, 1874, married 1904 Her Raye] Highness Princess Alice of Albany, daughter of the late Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany, youngest son of Queen Victoria. Their children are: “Princess May Helen Emma, born Jan. 23, 1906. Prince Alexander of Teck is a bromher of Queen Mary. He will take up his duties in October, at the expiration ‘of the term of the Duke’_o£.,00nnvaught.' The' Prince‘ is a keerifiqiiiier, but he has had lit-tie administrative experience. He is. howcver, a, hamdjvorker and a good organizer. He hae‘ixdqne much in the ’cause of charity." especially in behalf of hospitals and in the fur- therance of cancer‘research.

' , Prince Alexander, who is a. major in the Second Life Guards, served in the Mambeleland campaign and in South Africa.ior._.two years, and to his other titles added that. of the Distinguished Service Order, which, next, to the Victoria. Cross, is the chief ambition of the military men in Great Britain. How Princess of Tech Ranks. . The exact rank of the Princesses of Teck is rather an interesting question. In England they rank in practice immediately after the daughters of the Duke of Fife, to whom the late King Edward gave a. definibe precedence immedistely sf- mr those of the Royal Family, who hear the title of Royal Highness. But the Tecks are merely a. ducal Emily, although they bear the title of Prince. The late Duke of Tech was given the title of “Highness” by Queen Victoria, in the jubilee, year of 1887, but apparently this} title was a. purely personal one and did not descend to his children! The Almanaoh de GothHhe recog- nized authority on such mattersâ€"â€" laces the Princes both of Tech and alctenherg in its third part. along with the other British and foreign dukes.

Frank Haynes Was Hanged at Syd- [myâ€"Killed Hotel Proprietor. A despabch [from Sydney, N.S., says: Frank Haynes expia-ted for the murder of B. S. Atkinson on the scaffold Friday afternoon at 5.41. Haynés made a, full written 00n- fe‘Sosion of his crime in the_ presence of Jailer K‘arn and Capan Fuller- ‘On the night of the 15th of Aug- ust lastl the body of Benjamin S. Atkinson, proprietor of flhe Minbo Hotel, Sydlney, and a well-known horseman, was found on the road, eight miles from the city. Atkin- son had a bungalow alt; Mira, and the original supposition was that, he had been killed as a. result of his horse having bolted. There were a. number of suspicious circumstances connected with the case, however, and the arrest of Haynes followed the investigation of these. Haynes who was supposed 10 have been a native of Nevada, only arrived in Sydney in the early summer of last year. He had been on intimate terms with Mrs. Atkinson, the wife ‘of the murdered man. ton “Ocean Limited” Train Stopped Just In Time. A desp’atch from Truro, N.S., says: An "attempt. to wreck the Ocean Limited train from Montreal to Halifax was made at Bible Hill, about one mile west of Truro, on Tuesday night. The Limited, 40 minutes late, was speeding about 50 miles an hour when the driver saw a, tie lying across the track. Quickly applying the air brakes he stopped the train, but not until the tie was shoved ahead of the engine for a. hundred feet. The matter is being investigated.

A despatch from Ottawa. says: Tips will be abolished within a. month if Senator Davis, Prince A1- bert, and a. number of other Senan tors and members of Parliament have their way, and iii; looks as if they might. Senaibor Davies’ bill, which provides for a, fine or impri- sonment for tipping, and making the employer, the employee and the ‘pens-oln offering the gratuity liable, was given second reading in the Senate on Wednesday. In moving the reading Senator Davis said that within recent years an intolerable system of petty bribery had grown up all over the world, known as the tipping system. It had become such a. nuisance that it was time it was grappled with by legislation, and he believed his bill would have the support of ninety per cent. of the people of the coun- try, who were now subject to a growing scale of graft and tips in order to obtain accommodation and service. A person on a, journey had to constantly have his hand in his pocket, and had to bribe his way throughout his trip. The Senator said that tipping had a demoraliz- ing effect on persons who received tips. It had a tendency to pauper- ize waiters, porters and other per- sons, who should stand on a. plane of manhood above the servile posi- tion which they were placed in through the acceptance of gratui- ties. Employers should pay their servants, and not expect the public to pay their help. Tipping also de- velop-ed a spirit of arrogance on the part of those serving the public. East Coast of Sicily Victim of Seis- ' mic Disturbance. Rome, May 10.â€"An earthquake, which might have been equally as di’sagbmus as the one at Messing. in 1908 but for the fact that a. series of slight; shocks forewarned the peoâ€" ple, visited the east coast of Sicily, south of Mount Etna, Friday night. Mount Etna, was in eruption at the fime, and the belching of the volâ€" ea-uo increased in violence yester- day. Senator RosiS'of Middleton sym- pa‘tihd‘zed with the object of the bill, and said, “Every man should pay once, but 11:0 Law of God or man should make him pay twice." BILL T0 AHOLISH TIPPING. Senator‘s Poitieir,’ Gordon and Cloran all spoke in favor of rnhe bill and it was givem 34 second reading. There are bet-ween one and two hundred persons dead as a. result of the seismic disturbances and: over a thousand have been injured. A MILLIONAIRE SOLDIER.

Miss Dubois answered the door and, coming upâ€" stairs, she told her mother that, there. was a man who wished to change a. pair of boots which did not fit. She took the key to open a. door communicating from the pas- sage of the private entrance to the store and evidently let. the man in.
