This Is My 29th Birthday
GRAND DUKE OF MECKLENBURG f.CHWERIN.
Frederick Francis IV, C.rund Duke of Mecklenburg Sihwortn, was born April I. 1SS2. and succeeded to the throne uiwn the death of his father In 1S07. Mia mother was a Russian Grand Duchess, daughter of Grand
Duke Michael. The future ruler of
MecklenburgSchwerin was carefully
educated. After completing a thor
ough course of university training at Dunn, he traveled extensively in many parts of the world. Though he came
to the throne In 1S97 he did not as
unu the rel.ns of government until the termination of his minority In 9ol. In the meantime the grand
duchy was ruled by his uncle as regent. In 194 Grand Duke Francis
married Princess Alexandra, second
daughter of the Duke of Cumberland
Ills family is the only reigning family
In Western Kurope of Slavonic origin nnd claims to be the oldest sovereign
house In the western world.
Rev. L. J. Duncan is the new Socialist mayor of Butte, Mont. Mrs. Ella Wilson, the first woman to be elected mayor of Hunnewell, Kan., says she is going to start housecleaning immediately. Ex-United States Senator Hansbrough has turned novelist, his maiden effort being "The Second Amendment," a political novel. The book promises to be widely read. Pennsylvania legislators have introduced into their state legislature a public bervice commission bill modeled on the lines of the New York statute. It is probable that the Pennsylvania commission will be given even more powers than the New York body. The legislature of New Jersey has passed the employers' liability bill of State . Senator Edge, embodying the ideas of Governor Wilson. It abolishes aa grounds of defense tor the employer in suits for damages the negligence of the fellow employe and the assuming of risk by the injured employe. The measure is to go into effect on July 4. In the new congress, both the majority and the minority will rind it necessary to mould leaders out of ma
terial which does not appear to be altogether adapted to this purpose. For the present at least the affairs of both sides probably will bo directed by a group rather than an Individual. On the Republican side, llorah and Cummins are the strongest men in the in-

surgent group in the senate, with Senators Bourne and La Follette leading the ultra-radicals. On the Democratic side the situation is far more problematical. Unless the temper of the members change, it will be impossible to select either an individual or a group of men in whose hands the reins of leadership may be placed. Many desire no leadership at all, preferring to move independently.. John Sharp Williams is looked upon somewhat as a "dark horse" but the older heads will probably resent direction at his hands, unless they can be kept in good humor by extraordinary tact. Senator Bailey reactionary, has already antagonized the progressive element of his party and some declare, has lost prestige by his action in resigning his seat immediately after the adjournment of the last session and recalling the resignation before it could be considered. George M. Bowers, United States Fish Commissioner is from West Virginia and he has been very busy thinking out a plan which will wipe out all factional troubles among the Republicans of his state. The Bowers plan is to nominate Senator Scott for Governor next year and ex-Representative W. P. Hubbard for representative at large on the state ticket. It is not thought good politics to make another district in the state, and it is presumed that Hubbard, "who has long been at war with the Scott organization, will agree to peace on the new terms.
