QUEEN NVICTORIA'S GENTLENESS
She Is Not as Overbearing as Many
Would Have the World Believe,

When the queen was young girl one
of her chief characteristics was a GER

word was law, and as distinguished
officer, whom / must not name. once
declared on leaving her after an offic-
ial interview, '"The queen did love to be
mistress" 1t is most lovable trait in
her majesty's nature that with increas-
ing years mildness of manner and
most cOnsiderate thoughtfulness for
others have superseded the austerity
of her younger days. She is. indeed,
more inclined to err on the side of in
dulgence than of sternness. Have 1t
your own way" she will sometimes say
in a grandmotherly discussion with
one of the Battenberg babies. With
her personal attendants the queen is
equally gentle. The queen never by
any chance shows haughtiness to a de-

THOSE PAVING ORDINANCES.
Opposition Said to Dc Looking for
Flaws in Them.

There is such strong opposition to
the two big pavement jobs now under
way in councils that the councilmen
who are putting them through are
much worried over the possible defeat
or delay to their projects.
Over on the West Side the anti-pave-
ment people are contending that the
ordinance for paving Ninth, Robinson
and Jackson streets is illegal because
it contemplates the three streets as
one, and they threaten to attack 1t on
this ground. AS the ordinance goes
into the hands of the mayor today and
has to be signed within fifteen days,
any delay resulting from an interven-
tion of the courts will greatly endan-
ger 1t.
Messrs. McCanna and Nealis, the
Fourteenth ward representatives, held
consultation with President Sander
son last night concerning the impend-
ing trouble, and 1t was determined to
provide against all possible contingent
cies by having the ordinance held back
until City Solicitor Torrey passes on
it. SO that in case it Is found defective
it can be reconsidered and amended
before going into the hands of the
mayor.
ORDINANCE TO BE WITHDRAWN.
Should the solicitor decide that the
ordinance in its present form will not
unquestionably withstand legal at
tack. it will be withdrawn and three
separate ordinances. one for each
street substituted. this being made
practicable by the fortune or foresight
of the pave promoters in securing a
majority of signers on each street.
Messrs. Nealis and Mccain also look
askance on the movement now afoot
to have asphalt substituted in place of
Belgian block on the first block of
Jackson street. While they regard
those at the head of the movement as
being prompted by only the best mo-
tives. they believe that many of the
signers of the asphalt petition attached
their signatures with the sole hope of
causing the delay or ultimate defeat of
the pave. The fact that every property
holder on that block who refused to
sign for Belgian block or any other
pavement at first, are now found
among the petitioners for the more en-
pensive asphalt heightens their belief
that their motives are questionable.
THE PAVE MUST COME.
The councilmen of the Fourteenth
avow that, at all events. the pave must
COIile, us tiieS nave IL majority signed
for each street and the signature can
not be withdrawn. even though the
signers so desired which, however, is
not the case.
On Mulberry street the danger is not
so formidable but the kick is quite as
vigorous. The people on the first
block. that is, between Franklin and
Mifllin avenues, were included in the
ordinance without their consent or de-
sire. and now come on with a solid ne
tition against the paving of that block.
Common Councilman Lorenz Zcidler
has taken up their fight and swears
that he will strive his mightiest to
bring about the defeat of the whole
paving scheme if this particular block
Is not dropped from the ordinance.

fact Is that the engineer does not look
at the side-he is looking ahead-and
therefore the speed seems less. as the
objects are approached gradually.
Those who have ridden at ninety
miles an hour on a locomotive know
that that on a good road land there
are many such) the engine is not
shaken and swayed in a terrific man
ner. but is rather comfortable. and the
speed is not so apparent as when one
is riding in parlor car, where only
lateral view Is had. The engineer can
he very comfortable IL he Is quite sure
of the track ahead, and II is only round
ing curves or in approaching crossings
that he feels nervous, and ii is doubtful
If ii is any more strain to run loco
motive at high speed than to ride a
bicycle through crowded thoroughfares
Judging by the countenances of the BIZ
cycle rider and the engineer, the en-
gineer has rather the best of it.

THE MAN AT TIE LEVER.
How II Locomotive Engineer Acts
When Running II Very Fast Train,

From the Railroad Gazette.
The locomotive engineer Is a remark
ably placid fellow, with habit of de-
liberate precision in his look and mo-
tions. He occasionally turns calm
eye to his gauge and then resumes mis-
quiet watch ahead. The three levers
which he has to manipulate are under
his hand for instant use. and when they
are used 1t Is quietly and in order, as
an organst pulls out his stops. The
noise IN the cab makes conversation
difficult but not as bad as that heard
in the car when passing another train,
with or without the windows open. and
In looking out OF the engine cab the OBJ
jects are approached gradually, not
rushed past as when one looks later
ally out Of a parlor car window. The

ing around them, and as they gazed up
at me with their sad, dark eyes, felt
painfully how they must envy the free
and happy stranger who came to look
on them in their infamy and misery.
The slave trader came forward, fol-
lowed by phlegmatic-looking Turk,
and, seizing one of the women by the
arm, forced her to stand up before this
man, who, it appeared, wished to buy

Not ueed 20 Luxrries.

;
The peculiar sorrows Of Pennsyl-
vania colored man are thus set forth
by the Record Of Philadelphia:
A tall and heavy-footed colored man
limped painfully into a large shoe
store in Phoenixville one day recently,
and began to complain to the proprie-
tor that he had been swindled. "Dese
hyar Shoes" he said, .'suhtinly is de
wu'st 1 ebah see. Dey jes' natchelly
got me all tied up in knots"
What seems to be the trouble7' in
quired the proprietor.
The colored man scratched his pate
for minute, and said, "Fo' de Lawd,
doan' know Hit sho'ly seem laik
somebody done cast spell on dem.
Fust dey feels all right, an den de mex
day dey hu'ts mos drefful."
The dealer took a look at one of the
shoes; then he began laughing. You're
not used to wearing shoes, are you?'
he asked.
We'll, boss" was the reply, 81 doan'
weah dem much, da's a fack''
"Well, the trouble is, you've got them
on the wrong feet"
"No, sab! No, sahr' cried the negro,
"dey aim muffin wrong wifi nah feet
The dealer explained the difference
between right and left, and the custo-
mer went away happy.

The Man and the Snake.

The reputed fascination of the SER
pent's eye is the motive of story in
Mr. Ambrose Bierce's volume of tales
entitled 'In the Midst of Life" Mr..
Brayton was the guest of friend, an
eminent Zoologist, whose specially, Of
which he had fine collection, was
snakes. Stretched upon a sofa in his
own room, Mr.. Brayton glanced from
the book he was carelessly scanning
while awaiting the summons to dinner,
and saw, in the shadow under his bed,
two small points of light about an inch
apart. He gave them no special
thought and resumed his reading.
In few minutes he gave an involun
tary start, and stared into the obscurity
under the bed. His gaze disclosed the
coils of a large serpent; the points of
light were it's eyes, but were no longer
merely luminous points; they looked in
to his own with malign significance
Brayton was a brave man, but this
was the better part of valor. He would
beat a retreat and backward, so as not
to disturb the reptile; but instead of the
movement his will had shaped, his
right foot was placed in advance of his
left.
The snake did not move, but it's eyes
seemed to become larger and more lum-
inous. There were strange noises in
Brayton's ears as. with reluctant steps,
he could not refrain from drawing
nearer the bed. Suddenly something
struck him hard blow upon the face.
He had fallen to the floor
The zoologist, startled by a terrific
scream from above. rushed to his
friends room. There lay Brayton,
senseless. As he bent over him he
glanced under the bed.
'How did this thing get here?' he
exclaimed, and pulling out the snake,
flung it to the center of the room, where
it lay without motion.
1t was stuffed snake; its eyes were
two ShOebuttOnS.
