Queen victoria,s wealth.

They have been figuring on the cost of
maintaining the royal family in En-
gland, and it transpires that since Vic
toria's succession the present royal fam
lily has cost the nation the considerable
sum of 1913, 113, lis. OF this amount
about 1926, ZOO, coo has been spent to-
ward maintaining the state and house
hold and toward filling the queens pri-
vate purse. Up to this time the Prince
of Wales has drawn altogether Sl6. go
600, and it is estimated that MS debts
aggregate half as much again. The Elm
press Frederick of Germany has received
81 ,425, 900 from the British taxpayer. the
duke of Edinburgh S., 100000, the duke
of Connaught 81, 1886, 900, the Princess
Christian 1910, 900, the duke of Albany
$970, 900 and the Princess Louise $780,
600.
1t Is believed that the queen is the
richest woman in the world. OF the ex-
tent of her possessions only those few in
her confidence have positive knowledge,
but occasionally there is brought to light
some little incident that confirms the
popular suspicion that her majesty has
most successfully feathered her own nest
The queen has always surrounded her
self with the shrewdest business adyis-
ers, and the manipulation of her finances
has been intrusted to the closest hands.
1t is said that she has never lost a penny
by unwise speculation.
The amount of real estate she owns in
London is simply enormous One block
alone is said to include both sides of the
Quadrant and Regent street from Picca-
dilly circus to Oxford street.-the most
valuable property in the kingdom. Vic
toria began her career as poor as the
average German princess. The lesson
in frugality taught her by her excellent
mother she has never forgotten. She is
provident to the degree of parsimony.
Of the extravaganza of the Prince of
Wales she has q special horror, and it is
said that she locks up her wallet and
loses the key whenever she sees her son
and heir coming down the road toward
the castle to pay her call-Eugene

furnishing Skilled Maids.

An English society for the employ
ment of women has established new
branch of usefulness alike to employers
and employed. 1t is the sending out of
skilled mattresses for service at small
entertainments which yet prove too
formidable for the household. Such are
selected from married women on the so
cietys list of benefciaries who have
been trained parlor maids and mattresses
before marriage. They go for a single
dinner or series, OF to tide a household
over two or three days of emergency Of
unexpected company and the like.
In this country undoubtedly such a
bureau would prove especially valuable
American households as a rule, even
many pretentious ones, have not the
staff of servants an English establish
ment of the same rank finds necessary.

To be able, therefore, to slip in a

two would often be of great value to an
American mistress, and it would seem
that some of the various womens EN-
ployment societies on this side of the
Atlantic might introduce the service
with success.-New York Times

The Governors Message.


Owing to the fact that there is a general de.
sire TO see the Governors Message, we pre-.
sent that document this morning. 1t was de-
livered yesterday evening in the Stcte House
to the General Assembly.
It Is an able document, and ike everything
that the Governor writes, 1t is full Of interest
from beginning to ending.
1t Is full OF information, and deals with the
living issues of the day.
The manner is open and frank, and some
times vigorous, especially in his reference to
Judge Wallace.
We had hoped that Judge Wallace might be
put on the Supreme Bench, but we presume
the Governor has "cooked his goose.'
He recommends the stamping OF mortgages
for taxation and for empowering the courts
to enforce the debt. Nothing short of such q
course will bring mortgages 10 paying taxes
The recommendation for township govern
ments won do. The physical condition OF
the country would prevent 1t. Some town
ships law all the bridges. Some have good
roads, and Others have not. With that law
in force we would have no good bridges. !
we had good bridges some townships would
be taxed TO death, while adjoining townships
would have almost no taxation.
The recommendation as to the whiskey IL
cense will meet the views of nine-tenths o
the people. 1t is based on equity and justice
The Governor is as sound as q dollar On al
that he says under the head of "crimina
law"
He is about right on the Railroads.
lie is exactly right in what he says about
quack doctors. -,
The rc-apportionment we fpresume will
come now, and Charleston Will be compelled
to surrender the representation 10 which tina
city has held SO long against all fairness anc
equity.
The message is a first rate one. Read 1t.
