Ihe positive virtues ol queen Victoria
are fully recognized yet those negative
have contributed no less to her "queen
liness as a woman and womaniineas AS
a queen.' She has magniiied her Office,
not her person. She has accepted
necessary denials. She has discrimi.
mated and chosen, but not sought TO
originate. which is the snare of sJver-
eigna. Like Victor Emmanuel of Italy
and William |. of Germany, sho has
recognized those greater than hersoii.
Her name is perpetuated on tbs advance
grounds of acience ana discovery, not
linked to futile achemes and crude
policies. wherein it is pity sho cannot

her old dogs and horses she ia kind.
She has shunnsd idleness, expense and
eccentricity. No instance comes of her
forfeited work. All her life il clear as
noon day English Bnd only GngliHh she
has embodied the soundest instincts and
accepted tho best traditions of her race.
She has rewarfad its heroes, bowed to
its sages, aud revered its religion.
Trained 70 careful discrimination in
art, literature and music, she bias not

There have been two lumber-vards here
for several years past, and it has been
generally believed for a long time that
they were in combine with other yards
up the valley to control the trade to suit
themselves. Recent developments con-
firm this belief.

of this place, concluded TO establish a
third yard here. With the cash in their
pockets they went up to the mills to pur-
chase stock OF mountain-pine um ber

Olne, would have 10 be consulted before
they were sold any lum ber. Vending
was seen and he emphatically put his
seal OF dlsappToval on selling third
lum ber-yard in Bakersfield any lumber.
I'VE have two yaIds there" he said

The mill men then refused to entertain
any proposition from Doherty and Nc
Leod 10 sell them lumber. Thee gentle =
men were not to be tnwarted III their un-
dertaklng by this set back. Their yard
has been opened.
They cou buy all the Oregon pine and
redwood lum ber they wanted, and this is
what they have started with. They de-
care they are going 10 sell ium ber and at
a reasonable profit. which they intimate
will be at figure below what the oil
yards are selling II at.

His Daughters Deny That They Are

Paying Aim ony.
special Dispatch to THE CALL


SAN RAFAEL, Dec. 13.-The Finigau
divorce case cropped up again to-day
when the colonel and his three daughters
filed with County Clerk Thomas s. Bon
neau their answer to Mrs Emily b. Fin
igan's somev hat sensational supple
mental com pla Mt in which she alleged
that Maud, Mary and Lillian Finigan had
conspired with their ia her to defrauJ her
OF a snare OF Colonel Fin gam s wealth.
Mrs. Finigan set forth that Colonel Fin
igan, whom she is suing for a divorce, had,
in order TO defraud her, decided certain
property situated in Alameda to his
daughters, and she apIeiied to the court
to have the transfer . set aside and the
property given 10 her on account of the
alimony which the court had said she was
entitled 10 but which she never got.
In his answer Colonel Finigan makes a
series of denial,-in fact, he denies in toto
everything his wife alleges, and sets fort h
that the reason he has not paid the fai.
plaintiff the alimony the court allowed
her is that he has not the money, ano so
is unable TO do 20. This contention of
Colonel .Finigan, the attorneys for Mrs
Finigan claim, is hardly borne out bv the
facls, for Colonel Finigan with his daugh-
ters has lived continuously at the Hotel
Rafael, where the prices are fancy and the
air of aristocracy is appalling to people
without wealth.
The daughters-Mary, Maud and Lillian
FinIgan-resent The imputation of Mrs.
Finigan that they are helping their father
to swindle her, and thev Stoutly contend
that he transferred The Alameda prop
erty to them tor a good consideration and
not for the purpose of defraudins her OF
the alimony.
The Finigan divorce case has been
prolific of sensations and antoher is
promised in the near future. Even now
the colonel, whose wealth so suddenly
disappeared on the approach OF his vile
intent on obtaining a share OF II, is liable
at any time TO have to go TO jail again for
failing TO pay the aiimony. The long
