The sheriff and the deputies who did the shooting in Hazleton have been
arrested.

At the first hearing the judge decided that there was a grave cause of
complaint against the men, and so he ordered that they should be tried
before a jury to find whether they were guilty of murdering the rioters.

As they were all respectable men, who were not likely to run away, the
judge allowed them to furnish bail. That is to say, he said that if they
could each find a friend who would give the court $6,000 as a surety
that they would come up for trial when their case was called, they might
go free in the mean time.

Each of the accused men was able to furnish the required bail, and so
they are all at liberty for the present.

Queen Christina of Spain is not the only queen regent in Europe. The
Government of Holland is also in the hands of a queen mother, who is
guiding the affairs of state for her young daughter, Queen Wilhelmina.

The fact has been brought to our notice by the announcement of Queen
Emma that her daughter will be eighteen years old next August, and will
then assume the cares of government.

Queen Emma has been Regent of the Netherlands since 1890, when her
husband King William III. became insane, and was declared to be
incapable of governing.
