This Will be the great day OF the jubilee
celebration. Although Victoria assembled
the throne on June 20 1897. the general
jubilee observance of her coming into
power will be today. The occasion will
be noticed not in England alone, but
throughout the British colonies and in
remote foreign lands where British sons
have taken up a residence. Ii matters
little how far away from home they may
have wandered, the love for the mother
country has not died out and one of the
many reasons for il has been the pres
ence upon the throne of the estima BILE
woman now reigning.

Texas. where. by the increase In the value

where he was. and also that he was mar

from her. Her eldest son went South,

marriage certificate of his mother, ard
