Slocombe was the cook at a hotel in Lancaster-gate, Hyde Park, and Pallett is an assistant in the service of Messrs. Evans Palmer, green-grocers. On Tuesday night Pallett was stopped by a detective when leaving the hotel, and was found to be carrying a parcel con- taining the chicken and other things.

'A ”J A medicine which keeps the babies and children well, or restores them to health when they are ill, is a priceless boon to humanity. Such a medicine is Baby‘s Own Tablets. These Tablets cure all stomach and bowel troubles, allay the pain of teething and give isound healthy, refreshing sleep. And the mother has the guarantee of a gov- ernment analyst that this medicine does not contain one particle of the poisonous opiates found in so-called soothing mixtures and most liquid medi- cines. The Tablets are equally good for the newborn baby or the well grown child. Mrs. Robt. Currie. Loring, Ont; saysâ€" “I have found Baby’s Own Tab- lets a splendid medicine for curing con- stipation and other ills of little ones." You can get. these Tablets from any medicine dealer ‘or by mail at 25c a box by writing The Dr. Williams? Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. The giving of these signatures, ar- duous as is the work entailed when a monarch is conscientious, constitutes but a part of the day’s business. The Ger- man and Austrian rulers require their Cabinet Ministers to make at least twice a week verbal reports of all important matters concemlng their departments, in addition to their written communica- tions. Queen Victoria insisted on this only in the case of the Foreign Office. but King Edward demands that he should be kept informed about all mat- ters of moment, and he is constantly calling upon this Minister or that Gov- ernment official to furnish him wlth special reports. Not a day passes with- out several Government functionaries being received in audience, and the in- terview is usually followed by some ac- tion on the part of the sovereign or at the dignitary in question. _ DESPATCHES FROM ABROAD. Throughout the entire day, and often far into the night, there is a constant succession of messages arriving for the sovereign. In London. as also in Berlin and Vienna, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is under orders to transmit to the monarch immediately on its arrival a copy of every despatch that arrives from abroad, either by telegraph or by mail, and the reading and discussion of these despatches alone constitute a tax upon royal time and energy. The commission of every officer of the army and navy and the diplomatic corps, from admirals o! the fleet field marshalls, and ambassadors down to the most youthful subaltem or heard- less atache, requires the signature of the King, whose approval is likewise neces- sary to the draft or every important dis- patch sent. out by the Department of Foreign Affairs. All the more important appointments, administrative as well as judicial, must have the sovereign's written consent. No one can relieve the sovereign 01 this particular portion 01‘ his work. i Fifteen years ago it was estimated by competent authorities that the number of documents receiving the signature at Queen Victoria averaged at least 60,000 ‘per annum. That would give about 200 for each week day throughout the entire twelve months. Since that time docu- ments requiring the sign manual of the British sovereign have enormously in- creased, and it is probable that to-day the papers which King Edward is obliged to sign average between 400 and 500 a day. This pronouncement, cabled to this country and published in the American newspapers. has excited a considerable amount of amazement among those here who have been accustomed to look upon the British monarch as essentially a man or pleasure; indeed. as one of the greatest sybarites in Europe, and the question has arisen in connection there- with as to what the labors of the Bri- tish monarch really were. ; DOCUMENTS TO SIGN. It may therefore be as well to explain that the King has hundreds of documents to_ sign on every day of the year, Sun- days included. It must be borne in mind that as a general principle no adminsi- trative act by the Government and no act of Parliament is valid in the eyes of the law until it receives the sign manual :1 the sovereign. Everything done by the Government of the day in behalf of the State and in the name of the nation :5 a sovereign act, no matter how trivial it may be, and a sovereign act cannot be complete and therefore valid until it has i received the sovereign’s signature. _ - King Edward, in the course of an audience granted last week to the leaders of the Church Army movement in Eng- land, who are endeavoring to deal with the difficult problem created by the ap- palling condition of laboring men, in- cidentally mentioned that he was obliged to work hard himseli, and that his ordinary working day was not one of eight hours, but twelve hours, and that he considered himself fortunate when he accomplished ull he had: to do‘ in that. time, writes Marquise dc Fon- tenoy.
