A QUEENS HOME.
HER ROYAL MAJESTY'S CASTLE IN
THE HIGHLANDS.
1t is the Private Home of Victoria and Does
Not Relong to the Crown-The Daily
Life Of the Aged Ruler.

Copyright, 1898. by Frank Pope Humphrey }
Ballater, Scotland, May 14.-The queen
and prince consort first came to Balmoral
in 1913 at the recommendation of their ply
sician, Sir James Clark.
The neighborhood of Balmoral is esteem
ed the driest and healthieSt in Scotland.
1t is 900 feet above the sea level The air
is pure and bracng, the soil gravelly, and
there is less rain than in the west highlands.
1t is Il beautiful district whether i'll spring
when the bircheS are i'll tender leaf and
the broom bursting into yellow bloom or i'll
summer, when the hills are pink with heath
err; on in autumn, the queen favorite sea-
son here, when there is Undesirable glory
upon hill and valley of golden birch, pur-
pling heather and brown bracken.
Millais says Scotland in color is like Il
wet pebble; d Scotch pebble he means with
Its colors deepened ana enriched by mols-
turc. And his saying is pre-emlnenily frue
of Deeside in autumn. This district has
its wilder aspects too. 1t is u land of glens
and rushing streams, of corrleS and crags.
The castle stands upon '.haugh. or
open space, by the Dee, the hills recedng
far background. Byron's dark Iochnagar'
$500 feet high, closes the vista to the south.
Byron passed some time in this neighbour
hood when a boy, and Lochnagar and Dee S
rushing tide" are met with more than
orce in his poems.
how Prince Albert Came to Buy Balmoral.
Both the queen and prince were Impress
ed with the beauty of Balmoral, and above
all with it's solitude and peace after the
rush of court life ut London and Windsor.
The prince rejoiced especially III the deer
that came ''steathily about the house and
with his usual promptitude had Il shot at
them on the third day after their arrival.
They made the ascent of Lochnagar that
first year partly on ponies partly on foot.
The mountain has long, sharp back end
ing in peak. And in hooks by this peak
they took their luncheon.
In 1852 the prince bought the estate for
315OO pounds. Besides Balmoral it now
includes Birkhall. Abergcldie held on lease,
and the great forest of Balloch Beie, bought
somewhat recently by the queen. 1t conf
prises in all little over 10000 acres.
1t extends along the Dee for twelve
miles. A public road runs up the valley
on both sides OF the river But after BAL
moral became Prince Abert's property it
was closed upon the south side. traffic be-
ing diverted to the north bank by Il bridge
not far from the castle gate. On the first
arrival of the royal family they drove
first from Aberdeen, distance of fifty
miles. But soon a railroad began to
creep up the valley by degrees, threatening
dc structon to their seclusion. and was at
last stopped at Buliater, eight miles dis
tant, by act Of parliament.
Views from the Castle.
There was an old castle on the estate.

PLENTY OF WORK.
A Dentist Tells of Hardshlps..for a
Bill Collector.


AS a reporter for the LIGHT was
walking up West Commerce street
in the direction of the county court
house yesterday, he enjoyed the
pleasant company of well known
dentist of this city. Speaking of
the condition Of the times and
matters in general the reported OBJ
served:
"You people seem to have a rush
Of business during dull times as
we'll as when times are good"
"That's true enough" replied
the dentist, eve are more rushed
when money is scare than when
it is plentiful. Our amount of
work never decreases. But where
we suffer when times are dull is
in collecting the money, due us
for our work. We have never eX-
perienced so much difficulty in
collecting money due us for work,
bills which have been standing,
for months, as at the present
time"
Kampmann building was reached
about that time, and the dentist,
pulling a bill from his pocket,
said to the reporter:
"Well, go up here" pointing to
the elevator, "and see what luck
I'll strike in collecting for this
bill; so long"
There are other kinds of business
in the same boat with the dentist
plenty of work and little money
to show for its reward at present.

can not be dealt with otherwise than as
an open account kept by the clerk. Mr..
Dowd, the new clerk. is also DESTROYS of
having the books placed in such shape
that he may know exactly how the account
stands, so as to be free from liability for
any error prior TO his time.
Mr.. Gallagher had the confidence of all
who knew him. but it has been realized
for some time that the present system OF
bookkeeping is open to objection. In
March an ordinance was passed requiring
the clerk of the court to pay all fines into
the treasury every day. but no such ar
rangement is possible with the bail money,
some of which will never be called for.
but any of which must be kept ready for
payment on demand.
Comptroller Carson is so situated that
he is not endowed with the authority to
control: these moneys, but at the request
of the mayor he on Saturday Investigated
the accounts as fsr back as April 1, and
satisfied himself that from that time on
they are perfectly regular. He will not,
of course, take the responsibility Of as
Stunning that this examination proves the
correctness of the books prior to that
time. Nevertheless. he feels it to be just
to both Mr.. Gallagher and to Mr.. Dowd to
place the matter beyond all question.
1t has not been determined who shall
make the examination, and that will
probably be decided by the auditing COM
