aggregate appropriations amounted to nearly $2,000,000. About ten years ago the tunnel was ready for use, and be- fore turning the water into this viaduct the quartermaster general caused an inspection, and he made an honest re- port. Everybody was amazed to learn that the enormous sum of S2,00O.000 had been actually thrown away. The tunnel was useless, and had been con- structed pot for the purpose of carry ing water. but for the purpose of rob ping the government. The hole in the ground was there, but the brick work lining was ar awful botch. Common plaster instead of cement had been used. Great holes above the brick work were left unified; and the pressure of water would have broken down the brick lining almost immediately. The contractors cared nothing for that. All they wanted was to have the tunnel accepted by the government, so that they could draw their final moneys from the treasury, and get away from Washington Rs soon us possible.
 The tunnel is still there. It hns never been used. and it cannot be used without the expenditure of at least en- other million dollars. Moreover. other appropriations might be mlsspent in that same hole; and nobody seems to

less and discouraged. But the young girl, whose succession was viewed with so much alarm, developed into one of 1he ablest rulers of the world. Without being ultra-conservative, she insisted upon the observation of every form and ceremony calculated to inspire respect for the m onarchy, and, at the same time, granted many privileges to the common people the bestowal of which had been fought desperately by her stubborn
 predecessors, the Georges. Her mar riage, February 10, 1S40, to her cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Gotha, with whom she had long been deeply in love, was not received favorably by her sub jects, who did not become reconciled to it until after the princes death, De- cember 14. 1861. Then it began to dawn upon the cordid British minds that there might be such thing as love, after all; and cities, villages and hamlets joined in expressing sympathy for their be- reaved queen. The noble gentleman who, in his lifetime, had been ridiculed and lanpooned by duke and pauper, twas

be willing to take the responsibility of recommending that the work be taken up and honestly completed.
 That is only a sample of the methods employed by interruptions men to get money from the treasury without ren- dering an equivalent for it. We recent ly have found another little steal going bon; and it is of such petty nature that nobody would have suspected it. We are not surprised when we see men reaching for hundreds of thousands or millions: but we never expect men to undertake little jobs for few thousand dollars. In other words. little thieves do not abound among men who have attained positions and secured reccg- milton before the executive depart ments, or who have the privilege of do- ing business on Capitol hill. The last discovery. of corruption involves only the sum of $s,OOO; and out of that the contractor could not have made more than $4,OO0, although he might have made at least $1, 1000 if he had done his work honestly.

and, in alliance with France and Tur. key, compelled the St. Petersburg gov ernment to give up its intention of seiz-
 ing Constantinople. In 1856 sue entered into war against China and Persia, both of which countries were eventually compelled to accede to Brit aims demand. The mutiny of the In- dian army, in 1857, was suppressed ef. fectually at her request, but she after ward instituted many reforms in her Asiatic empire, thereby preventing repetition of the horrors of the fiftics. Humanitarian enterprises of every de- scription received her active support, both us a woman and as sovereign; and the great railway system of the United Kingdom was established with her direct assistance. Like almost every other old-world ruler, the queen has repeatedly been the mark of would be assassins. The first attempt on her life was made by Edward Oxford, who dis charged two pistols at her and Prince Albert, as they were proceeding up Constitution hill in an open phaeton from Buckingham palace, June 10, 1S40. He stood within few yards of the car riage, but no one was injured. Oxford was sent to an insane asylum and get at liberty in 1868, on condition of going abroad. On the 27th of June, 1850. a fellow named Pate tried to initiate Ox- ford, but the queen escaped unharmed. On February 20, 1871, Arthur O'Conpcr, a boy IS years of age, entered Bucking- ham palace with an unloaded pistol, and threatened to shoot the queen. He was .apprehended and sentenced to im- prisonment and fogging. The last at- tempt at assassination was that by Ro- derrick Maclean, who. on March 10. 1882, shot at the queen at the Great Western railway station at Windsor. He was

 There was deadly silence all around. No enthusiasm, no shouting, no inbila- tion of any kind. Blank despair IS plain ly written on the majority of faces near me. Then one of my colleagues rurne,, to me:
 "What does it mean, Goody? You are evidently in the know.".
 Tt means," said, determined to have my revenge upon them, that if you want to get correct tip you must come to me-" and with that parting shot I hastened to the paddock, where saw DiXey surrounded by a crowd of inquir- ing sportsmen. When he was tolerably free I went up to him, shook his hand and heartily congratulated him. He bore his success with equanimity, for nobody had ever yet seen Dixey put out or Hurried either by success or failure.
 "Thanks very much for the wire, old man." I said, in the course of the con versation.
 "Wire?" he replied, with look of surprise on his face. "What wire?"
 "Why, you wired me your horse would win"
 "What on earth are you talking q about, Goody? I never wired to you"
 "Well, I got the wire here," I said. as felt in my pocket for it. But it was not there. searched each pocket, but in vain. I must have left it at the office. Dixey began to laugh.
 "How do you think I should have tipped such an outsider if I had not heard from you?" asked him, almost angrily.
 Flush, not 50 loud," said Dixey, looking round in a half-frightened man. ner. "You fancy wired to you. Quite a mistake, I assure you. intended to do so, but I thought it would be no good. That's al, Goody, really"
 When I returned to town I went straight to the office. l looked every where, but could find no trace of the telegram.
 I rang for Simmons: as he entered I said:
 Simmons, have you seen the telegram that you brought me this morning?'
 Telegram, si;.? never brought you a telegram"
 could hardly believ. my ears. There was mistake somewhere. But gave it up as bad job and went off to the club. Everybody there was most en- thusiastic and congratulatory. After we had settled down in the smoking room, told the boys the whole story.
 They were rather incredulous at first, until Jimmy Berner burst out: "I tell you what it is, Goody. old chap; it's clear case of telepathy.'
 But had the telegram" said.
 "You fancied you did," was his reply; that's part of the business. You were thinking of Dixey. Dixey was thinking of you. Dixey thought he would send you wire. You thought you received it. That's all."
 And that is the true story of how received my "telepathic tip."-Liver. pool (Erg) Mercury.

VICTORIA MAY RETIRE.
England's Queen Weary of Per-
 forming Official Duties.
Few of the Notable Events In the ven- ernble Sovereign's Csreer-Charactsr- istics of the Prince of Wales
 and Duke of York.
Especial Letter1


 Twice within 15 months the rumor that Queen Victoria contemplated re- tiring from Great Britian's throne has some across the ocean. When the state ment was made early in 1895 it was discredited in all well-informed circles, but the latest report seems to be based on substantial grounds and an an- nouncement of the queens withdrawal from active political life may be ex- pected any day. It is hardly probable, however, that the queen contemplates abdication. She is a woman of re- markable pride and, in spite of physical debility, great stickler for etiquette. Should she decide to rid herself of the cares of state she will insist upon re- maining queen and the prince of Wales will perform her functions possibly un- der the title of regent, but he will not become king of Great Britain as long as his mother may live.

record, and one that will never be for. gotten by those who had the good for. tune to witness it. The preliminary canters gave supporters of the fayorite. Windemere, great cause for much grat- ihcation. He certainly looked like n grand creature, fit to run for a king,s ransom.
 l nervously looked around for Don rero. Yes, he was there all right, but what an ill-favored looking animal com pared with the others. His jockey, too, was merely stable lad, but thought that l detected a gleam of confidence Tn his eye and look of fixed determina- ton upon his boyish face.
 Now they're off," is the cry. No, 1t IS Q false report. The favorite has broken away. His supporters standing around me are quivering with excite ment, and many of them gave vent to audible groans.
 The horses face the starter once more and in another minute we see the white flag fall, and know that they have been dispatched on their fateful journey.
 In the first part of the race they seem to be all together, but as they near Tattenham corner the favorite begins to steal ahead. look for Don Pero- he is nearly last. The corner is turned with Windemere we'll in front.
 1.-The favorite wins!" The favorite romps home!" is the cry on all hands.
 But what is that steadily creeping up on the outside? As live it is Don Pero! But stay! The favorite appears to be holding his own as the horses race into the straight. But Don Peru will not be shaken off, and he gradual ly bears the leader down, down, as they near home.
 1.-The favorite! The favorite!" is the cry that rings in my ears. Ten thou sand voices seem to be concentrated into one gigantic roar as the horses reach the winning post and the blue riband of the turf is once more won.
 It is doubtful to tell from where we are standing which horse has won, but

Don Pero should finish last, as on form he undoubtedly should, then my voca- tion was gone, and with it, perhaps. my bread and cheese, to say nothing of the other luxuries. It was in no happy frame of mind that made my way to the press box.
 My entrance gave the cue for burst of hilarity, and my reception was ex- ceedingly warm. They chaffed me un- mercifully about my unfortunate tip, but took it all in good part. while in wardly vowing that I would fire off some of my suppressed anger upon D;xey, if his precocious outsider fin iahed where everybody expected him to fnish-last.

committed for high treason. Some- what more pleasant than these occur rcnces was the queens experience with an eccentric miser, named John Cam den Neild, who was so pleased with her personality and public acts that he be- Iueathed to her the sum of z 25O, poo on August 30, 1852.
 Albert Edward, Prince of Wales.
 Should the prince of Wales be ap- pointed regent, as has been reported, hc would be the real head of the na. ton, except in name. And he would be the most popular male ruler Eng land has had for nearly century and q half. Albert Edward was bern in Buckingham palace November 3. 1s41. He studied under private tutors, passed one session at the University of Edin- burgh, spent year at Oxford, and pursued four-years' course of study at Cambridge. In 1858 he was made a colonel in the British army and de- voted some time to the study of mili- tary tactics in camp at the Curraugh. Two years later he visited Canada and the United States, being received in both countries with great enthusiasm. The position of heir-apparent is never pleasant one. Its incumbent cannot take part in politics, and tradition for bids him to participate in the affairs of state. These conditions in measure wrecked the princes life, which has been of an ornamental character alto. gether. Among the sporting fraternity of the continent he is known as "hign roller" This sobriquet he has earned by years of devotion to the gaming table and the betting ring, two pas times which have frequently placed him in financial straits. Parliament relieved him several times, as did also wealthy friends, among them the late Baron Hirsch, who bequeathed to his 'lighness $1,OOO,OOO in unpaid notes. The only serious pursuit which he has followed is freemasonry, his craftsmen having repeatedly honored him with election to the grandmastership of England. On March 10, 1863. the prince married Princess Alexandra of Dem mark. Their married life has not been without bitterness. The princess, like all the other girls of the Danish royal family, was brought up to look upon lapses of all kinds with horror. and the innumemble scandals with which her husbands name has been connect ed are said to have soured her naturally sweet disposition. Among the women of England the princess of Wales is immensely popular, as she is not only model wife but at the same time one of the best dressers in Europe.

second in successton,

Next in succession to the prince of Wales is George, duke of York, who was born June 3. 1865. He is the second child of the prince end princess of Wales, their eldest son, Albert Victor, having died January 14, 1892. Albert Victor was engaged to Princess Mary of Teck, and after his death George took his place not only in the line of succession. but also as the bridegroom of his fiancee, the marriage occurring on July 6, 1893. The duke of York is known as "the sailor prince," and is we'll liked, although he is said to be far from perfect in his manners or morals.

Has Reigned Nearly sixty Years

Queen Victoria's reign has been one of the most beneficial in the history of Great Britain. When she was born, May IA, 1919, in Kensington palace, the daughter of the impoverished Edward, duke of Kent, there were several lives between her and the succession; and when she ascended the throne on June 20, 1s3c. the people of England felt rest

held up to the world as pattern of man and husband. The praise came too late, however, to please the queen, who showed her devotion to the memory of her consort by remaining faithful to it. During their 21 years of married life the queen and her consort were blessed with nine children, all of whom are liv- ing except Leopold, duke of Albany, who died March 2s. 1884, and Princess Alice, wife of Grand Duke Frederick William of Hesse, who died December 14, 1878. The children still living are Albert Edward, prince of Wales, the duke of Saxe-C -Coburg- -Gotha; the duke of Connaught; the empress Frederick of Germany; Princess Christian of Den mark; Princess Louise, wife of the marquis of Lorne, and Princess Beatrice whose husband, Prince Henry of Bat tenberg, died recently in South Africa.

The momentous political events, in which Queen Victoria took an active part, can be counted by the score. In her reign the population of the moth- CT country increased from 26.O0O,00o to close on 45,OO0.0O0. and that of the col onies has grown from 100000 to IT, 100000.
