Even now parliamentary elections are not altogether free from corruption. Worcester was for a time disfranchised after the last general election on account of the irregularities found to have been prevalent, and other constituencies had a rough time before they were secure of their respective members. But the old time elections were altogether different. The popularity of the reform bill, which purposed the abolition of bribery, was by no means universal. In the Times of May 10. 1831, there is a story of a London police constable who asked his Inspector for leave to go into the country to vote for an anti-reform candidate. He explained that he would get £lO and his expenses for his vote, but complained that it was not then as in former times, when he bad had as much 2; £4O and never less than £26. ”And if that reform bill passes It will be a sad loss to mo and my brother freemen," ue auded. King George 111. had his own methods as an election agent. On the eve of an election at Windsor in which Admiral Keppel was the Whig candidate the king strolled Into a silk mercer’s shop In the town and called out: “The queen wants a gown—wants a gown! No Keppel! No KecneD”— * fjindon Ac o’”'— 0 ’”'— ■. - - o LOST —A pair of spectacles, between Clover Leaf and Catholic church. Return to Mrs. Thomas Mylott.

THE KING IS DEAD tContiaued rrora nagt 1.) now becomes king, is the son of King Edward and Queen Alexandra, and was born at Marlborough houso on June 3, 1865, seventeen months after the birth of hIH elder brother, the late duke of Clarence. He and his brother entered the navy together as cadets, and spent two years on the Britania. Then he entered on a three-year voyage around the world, sailing on the Bacchante. In 1892, when his brother died, lie became heir apparent, and took his seat in the house of lords as duke of York. In May, 1893, his engagement was announced to Princess Victoria May of Teck, and they were married on July 6, 1893. Six children were born to them: Edward Albert, Albert Frederick, Victoria Alexandra, Henry Wiiriam, George Edward and John. The prince 1 sless democratic than was his father and does not have such an ardent love for sports. It has been predicted, therefore, that after his ascension to the throne the court gaiety, which was always a feature during King Edward's reign, will be less marked. The prince became duke of Cornwall when his father took the throne and soon afterward started on a tour of the colonies. He opened the first parliament of the commonwealth of Australia. —■■ ' o — HOAL GETS LIFE IMPRISONMENT. (United Press Service.)
