Some OF our transatlantic visitors

second degree The queen was rather
conspicuously poor for u princess, and
people have spoken pitifully OF her mar

great, and. indeed. II is so parceled out
that she has but small control OF t.
The sovereigns of Austria ia-Hungary, OF
Italy, OF Prussia. OF Russia and even OF
Spain have larger incomes from the pub
lie treasury than she. The greater port
of her nominal income from the state In
appropriated to her household expenses.
Moreover, she has been unfortunate In
not coming OF rich family, 80 that her
estates might be built up by Inheritance,
as IN the case with continental mon
archs. and she has had many poor rela-
tions to provide for. II is said that the
prince consort left an estate OF C 750, 900,
In which the queen shared largely, and
the Saxc-Coburg family Is far from be-
ing In need. But In 1883 her majesty's
private secretary. Sir Henry ponsonby.
who ought to be good authority, said
of the queens private affairs: "She has
invested no money in ground rents. nor
does she possess u million to invest"
Yet the queen enjoys n large income
from the duchy OF Lancaster; also for
the is years OF his minority she had the
custody OF the prince OF Wales Corn
wall estates. She owns 37,372 ncres OF
fairly productive lands In Great Britain
and possesses considerable property In
Germany But all these known facts
will not provide for the enormous CO.
tate with which shc In credited. Tho
probabilities are that her majesty's
wealth has been exaggerated, but what

PRoAIsiTiONIST.S NEAT TRICK.


fented the Enemies of Reform.
Superintendent Greenwood, of the
city schools, tells a good story on n
friend of his. Prof. Morrison, in Missis-
sippi. whom he visited last winter.
Down in that state there are many ne
groes. and the colored vote is a material
factor in politics. Ii is constant strug-
gle between the different political par
ties to control this vote and many pc
culiar means are resorted TO. The
story related by Mr.. Greenwood is a fair
example of the way the negro is worked
on election day by his white friends
down in Dixie.
"In the little town where Prof. Nor
risou lives and where he is superin-
tendent of the city schools" said Prof
Greenwood, 1.-The people were called
upon to vote on the question of local
option a short time ago. Mr.. Morrison,
occupying the position that he did, and
being man of gentle habits and a
good church member, naturally was
chosen to lead the prohibition faction
and during the campaign he waged a
bitter fight against the saloons Every
thing seemed favorable for a grand pro-
hibition victory until day or two be-
fore the election. when the negroes
came in from the plantations and began
'tanlling up on the free whisky sup
piled them by the enemies of reform
Morrison realized that the power to
turn the election lay in the colored vote
and he at once set to work TO head off
his opponents. and the facts show that
the shrewd little schoolmaster was
equal to the emergency.
The night before the election, after
the saloon men had exhausted their eff
forts and had gone to their homes with
the confidence that victory would be
theirs on the morrow, the professor
went TO work among the darkies. He
told them that he had piece of new
ground he wanted cleared up, and that
he would give each OF them 50 n day
and board as long as the work would
last, the time it would take TO do the
work depending altogether on the
number of men that he could get.
Every negro in town promised to
bring an AK and be at the appointed
place at daylight. The next morning a
dozen wagons were in waiting to trans
port the men down in the river bottoms,
where the timber was to be cut. Two
trips were made before all of them were
gotten out of town, but when the sa-
loon men came down the next morning
there were not dozen negroes to be
seen. They were mystified and did not
learn of the trick that had been played
on them until il was too late and pro-
hibition carried the day.
"A big dinner was prepared for the
darkies out in the woods when the noon
hour came and they were made happy
Mt sundown by being given two bright
silver dollars each und told that the
job was finished. This was considered a
shrewd piece OF work on the part of Mr..
Morrison, and he has siEce become
