been throughout her reign OF the busiest
women in England Public affairs have occupied
with her the same place which a professional
career or the routine OF business transactions
fills in ordinary life Much OF the Queens time
has been spent in examination of State papers

House Of Commons writes her letter informing
her Of the business transacted during the day
She knows the secrets of the Cabinet before any

Queens life for sixty years but the most strik-

1850, Prince Leopold in 1913 and finally Prin-
cess beatrice In 1894. All the children
healthy and vigorous with the single exception
OF Prince Leopold. In 1919 and again in 1876,
the Queen visited Ireland. and was enthusi-
astically received The Princess Royal was
married in 1858 to Prince Frederick of Prussia
and year later the birth OF the present En-

at the age OF thirty nine.

plant, putting half in the crock and the
other half in the boiler. This latter

peOring CrCm the Sports of Youth.
"In the days when knockers graced
the house door," said Mr.. Stoggleton,
reports the New York Sun, 1.-The
small boy found sport in banging
the llnoc!icr and running. When bells
came in he yanked on the bell Pull and
then fed. Nowadays he nystcriously
presses the button; but the sport of
calling people to the door for nothing
is not what it was; and it Gccms prob
able that with the general introduction
of the push button, it will finally fall
into decadence.
There was some fun in pounding
with the door knoclser, whose thunder
rcverberatcd through the hall ard filled
the house, all of which you could hear
yourself. And you could yanll the bell
pull out to the limit, causing the bell to
fly almost off the spring; there was fun
in this. But there is no such fun in
pushing in q push button. You can
press that in perhaps a quarter of an
inch, and that is all you can do with it.
| Say you are in the vestibulc of fiat.
| Very likely you don't hear the bell ring
at all; it may be that it is up three or
| four flights of stairs; you hear no sound.
Nobody comes to the door; you don't
have to run. Possibly the people whose
bell you have rurg may press button
up there in the air somewhere aud you
| may hear the click of the door-opener
ut your side, or they may not do even

The Saint Paul globe., 1897-12-05

cannot doubt that, with the present
two cities, the city councils of st. Paul
and Minneapolis would gladly grant,
with reasonable terms, franchise for
the construction of an elevated road.
A short financial calculation would
show that the anticipated receipts
would pay handsome profits on the IN
vestment. The advantage of a quick
through service would not only secure
a large share of existing traffic, but
would create an immense new business,
as improved facilities always do. Such
a road would be a paying concern from
the start, and would become, within
a very few years, one of the most val
liable properties anywhere in the coun-
try
We believe that, with this situation
existing on the one hand, the needs OF
two great cities and the open field
which they offer, and, on the other, the
existence of a vast amount of unem-
80
vestmert, it needs only a little ener-
getic agitation and discussion of this
matter to secure the building of an
elevated interurban road. We urge the
matter most earnestly upon the atten-
ton of our people and of capital. The
subject should be taken up by our pub
lie and business organizations and by
representative citizens and set in prop
er light before those who have COM
mand of money for investment pur-
poses. There could not be a greater
advantage to these two cities, an i'm
provement that would tend more to
increase their population and business
and to draw the attention of the rest
of the country to their renewed pros
perity and growth. Whatever else we
may do, and we should be active in all
directions for the upbuilding of the
Twin Cities, let us pull together with
a strong and determined effort to Sc
cure the construction Of an elevated
railway between them.
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-12-05

ton OF the new charter, Il is hardly
fish, flesh or fowl. There Is 70 appar-
ent necessity for the existence of the
subordinate members of the board. ex
cept to act as a sort of commission for
the IeVying of assessments. Since that
is so important a duty, it does not
seem wise or right to confine it TO men
holding minor place and drawing little
pay; and who will, therefore. usually
be selected, as the force of other de-
partments is, for reasons more or less
strictly political. In the executive
business of the office they will be a
NTH wheel to the coach, and for its
other business they would not improb-
ably be poorly qualified The commits
sion would do better, it seems to us.
10 take the bull by the horns, since this
question of the board of public works is
one on which public opinion is much
excited and strongly bent, and to either
abolish the board altogether and di-
vide its work between the city engineer
and the city council, or to consolidate
it in single office, with such arrange
ment as can be made for the judicial
feature of assigning damages and bene-
fits
