HIS "GOOD LITTLE WIFE,"
England's Queen Is Woman of the Most
Perfect Grace and Bearing.

Eng1and's Queen Is a Woman of the Most
Perfect Grace and Bearing.
The heart of gold, the will of iron,
the royal temper of steel, the pride,
the patriotism and the deep piety OF
Victoria have been enshrined in a
small, but vigorous frame, the mig
nome aspect of which especially
strikes those who behold her for the
first time in these her "chair days"
1t was reported how, when Prince AL
bert was dying, he reused himself from
a period of wandering to turn with in
effable love to his spouse and sover-
eign, saying to her with kiss: Good
little wife!" And when the Prince Con-
sort was actually passing away, after
those 81 years of welded happiness. it
was told how the queen bent over him
and whispered: ut is your little wife"
ct which last words the angel of death
stayed his hand while once again the
dear eyes opened and the dying lips
smiled.
But though this be SO, no one who
has been honored by near approach
to her majesty, or has ever tarried i'll
her presence, will fail to testify to the
extreme majesty of her bearing, min
gled always with the most perfect
grace and gentleness. Her voice has,
moreover, always been pleasant and
musical to hear, and is so now. The
hand which holds the scepter of the
seas is the softest that can be touched i;
the eyes which have grown dim with
labors of state for England, and with
too frequent tears, are the kindest that
can be seen.-Sir Edwin Arnold, III

DID NOT DECLINE.
Mr.. Depew Says He Was Never Invited t.

Mr.. Depew Says He Was Never Invited to
Address the Kansas University Law
Class.
New York, Feb. 25.-Dr. Chauncey
M. Depew was amused when his atten-
ton was called to the report from
Lawrence, Kan, that he had refused
an invitation to speak before the stu
dents because the faculty had declined
to allow Robert G. Ingersoll to speak
before them. 1.-THE truth of the mat
ter isl said DR.. Depew, 81 was never
invited to make such an address. Fur
thermore, the matter was never
preached to me, so how could I refuse?
The rumor grew, l suppose, out of a
remark / made when the report be-
came known that Mr.. Ingersoll's Offices
had been refused. l said then if
were invited by college or university
to make an address on a purely legal
subject and the faculty insisted on
questioning my creed or religious be-
liefs should very probably refuse to
appear at all"

IN TROUBLE.
The Discord In the salvation Army-Talk
of u New Organization.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Notice was
posted at the Salvation army head
quarters yesterday in the form of a
ca blegram from London, as follows:
''Field Commander Eva Booth has
been placed in charge of affairs in
America, and all officers of the army
must report to her for the present"
The notice posted that Commander
Tucker-Booth and his wife were ap-
pointed to succeed Darlington Booth
and Mrs. Maud B. Booth disappeared
from the bulletin board during the
night.
Commander Ballington Booth and
Mrs. Booth left the national head
quarters of the Salvation army, on
Fourteenth street; at seven o'clock last
night for good. It is thought by sew
eral mem bers of the army, who were
willing to express an opinion, that Bal
lington and Mrs. Booth are out of the
Salvation army for good, but that
they will soon be at work, with many
of the present army officers and
privates, in organizing a new army,
with the help of prominent Christian
workers of this city.
A special from Philadelphia says:
The withdrawal of Gen. and Mrs.
Booth from the Salvation army has
caused a commotion in the Philadel-
phia branch of the army. The old
soldiers are aroused and talk of enlist
ing in big secession from European
headquarters is heard in every Saliva
ton hall in the city.
At New York Ballington Booth was
offered the leadership of an independ-
ent American Salvation army. The
brigadiers, adjutants and majors whom
he had created in all parts of the coun-
try besought him to become their gen.
eral, but he declined their offer
