He Does Not See the Awful Importance of
Writing a Letter About 1t.
COLUMBUS, o., Oct. at seems probable
that Judge Thurman will issue no letter OF
acceptance, owing to his speech of accept
ance to the notification committee and the
extended expression of his views IN his
speeches during the campaign. He
has for a long time had in mind
what he would say in case he
should write a letter, but his time has
has been so fully occupied it hos been I'M
possible for him to put it on paper. lie
has had considerable business 10 attend IL
and all other time has been taken b. his
callers, who keep coming steadily at ali
hours. This week the Judge has to SOME
extent shut the door on his callers t.
give time to complete his prenar;t ou
of the argument in the teicahone case
While he has not stated that he wouii not
write letter of acceptance, Judge Thur
man has frequently Remarked that ne does
not see the necessity. The statement Of
the early public publication of such let
ter has been made several times, bat ia NJ
case has he stated positively when it
would be, and the most OF such st lteinent
have been made by others. He Will leave
for Washington Friday.

QUEEN OF HOLLAND.
Her Aged Husband Adores Her, and He
WIFI IL His Law.

Hot Aged HuSNanQ AQOTe3 teI, anu n6t
VIII Is His Law.
Quite another style of a woman is
Queen Emma, to whom the Dutch are
reconciled only because she is good
nurse for their King; popular she
could never be, because the Dutch de-
test even the most talented Germans,
and Emma is Princess of Waldeck-
Pyrmont However, the King adores
her and is only contented in her socie-
ty and she seems to think there is NO
difference between thirty years and
three score and ten. When William
went to Potsdam to attend the mar
riage of his brother he little dreamed
Of marrying, but he met Helen of Wal
deck-Pyrmont, now Duchess of Albany,
and felt that at sixty-one life might
recommence were she to become the
Queen of Holland. Helen looked upon
her aged admirer with scorn and re-
fused his flowers and jewels. One day
William overheard Emma say to her
sister: 81 should never refuse to be-
come a Queen "Ah," he exclaimed,
las you find your sister is wrong will
you marry me?" Immediately she ac-
cepted, and in 1879 became Queen OF
Holland. Those who were at the
Dutch court when Emma made her
entree say she was simple as child;
that she looked upon her palace as a
marvel, danced and laughed as though
she were not conscious that the
courtiers were criticising her every
gesture. The aged husband was
shocked, but very kindly led
her to the portrait of his mother,
the proud Marie Paulowna, and said:
.'She never danced; a Queen should
never laugh in public" Emma, like a
country gretchen" accepted the re-
buke with good grace, and ''since
then" say the Dutch, 1--WE have moth
ing serious to criticise in her deport-
ment, but the manner in which she
murders our language we can hardly
forgive" Already has Emma begun
to teach the Princess Wilhelmina the
duties of sovereign. When, in 1886,
the King was i'll and the socialists
very daring, Queen Emma, without a
word to her husband, Gained the dis
turbance in three days. Of her
daughter she wishes to make a King,
not Queen. Not long ago her horses
ran away The coachman was thrown
out, and she, with Wilhelmina, just
escaped. Orders were given to bring
out fresh horses, for, 'if we do not
start again my daughter will learn the
meaning of the word fear"
Queen Emma is a brunette, rather
pretty, according to the Germans
beautiful, but a peculiar habit of wink
ing detracts much from her appear
ance. Over the King she has control,
and if he objects to any decision made
by her she threatens to leave the pal
ace to him-a dream of unhappiness.
Every day the royal family dimes at
seven o'clock; afterward there is music
and reading by the Queen, whose
audience consists usually of her hus-
band, daughter and the Jonkheer
Alewyn, the only person whom William
cares to see.-Hague Cor. Philadelphia

that at that time all remedies for the blood,
