Stories which show the Personality of the
Princess of waIes-
Queen Victoria recently admitted
that of all the members of her royal
family, excepting only her youngest
daughter, the Princess Beatrix, she
has more love for her probable success
sor, the beautiful princess of Wales.
Alexandra, the next quen of En-
gland, will enjoy, in way, all the
power welded by her husband, and
will have the full social prestige now
belonging to her mother-in-law.
For this reason, and, perhaps, be-
cause she likes to keep herself young
enough to enjoy this, the princess OF
Wales devotes portion of her time TO
athletics. Her waist is marvel OF
neatness, and she is grandmother
with five children. To secure the
sylphlike figure, which has preserved
past middle age, she resorts TO the
same means as were employed by the
late empress of Austria. She exercises
constantly, and one room at Marlbor-
ough house is filed with automatic
side saddles, stationery bicycles and
all sorts of athletic aids. She rides
Observation-Disclosures and outdoors
two hours every day, and weighs her
self night and morning, to be sure she
is not gaining.
The princess of Wales has never con
cerned herself with state matters, al
though she must know what is going
on. She has always been absolutely
indifferent to such things, unless
served to one swerved to one side or
other by personal favoritism. She adj
mires Asquith, who married 'Dodo,"
and could have secured for him al
most any position, but she was iether
too Indifferent or too careless to ask,
and the viceroyship, which might have
been filled by him to-day, belongs to
another. The queen, who knows every
line of the possibilities of her states
men, has ever been a politician, look
ing for improver service, civil and mill
tary, but Alexandra has never worked
along political Illness, and never will;
she is not that kind of a woman.
Alexandra has her little weaknesses
all womanly ones. She is found of
novels, thing the queen dispises, I'M
less one of the classic sort. She dis
likes famous people, such as authors
and artists, for she is timid in the face
of genius, while the queen will have
nothing to do with any other. Alex
andra loves fancy work, and can nut
line worsted dog to perfection, lille
the queen never takes a stitch. Alex
andra notes the hang of skirt and
the cut of the sleeves. Victoria is
calmly oblivious to everything except
court dress.
Britishers will have something to do
to get used to their new queen, for they
will have to reconstruct all their ideas
of royalty. Court dresses and jewels
will shine in the dull old rooms and
music and laughter will be heard
where now only the echoes startle the
shadowy figures of former gayety.
Alexandra has been preserving herself
TO have her royal fling" and she is
woman enough to insist upon it,. hi

from talking. A near neighbor was

person in the neighborhood. Dean was

He daily expressed the fear that he
would be assassinated. He declared

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA ROSA, July 29-Mrs. Mamie
Shank, the woman who was brutally at
tackled by a tramp at a WoodchopperS'
camp near Windsor several days ago, is
dying During last night and the greater
part of to-day she has been in conVul-
sions. and there is little hope for her re-
coyery. Mrs Shank was left by her as
sailant bound and gagged on the floor of
a tent, and remained in this condition
fors many hours, until the men of the
camp returned at night from their labOrs.
The mental agony she endured has had
much to do with her precarious condition.
The sad state of the woman has increased
the rage of the residents of Windsor and
vicinity, and should her assailant be cap
tured it is almost certain an attempt
would be made to lynch him.
Although every possible effort has been
made to locate the culprit all have so tar
proved unavailing. Deputy Sheriffs Wal
ter Poole, j. S. Gist and George w. Lewis
have searched the hills in that VICINITY,
but not a person has been found who re-
members having seen man answering
the description of the tramp. Yesterday
Constable Ohm of Sonoma. one OF the
most successful peace officers in the
State received word that man closely
tallying with the description had been
seen making his way across the Calistoga
Hills in the direction of Napa. Hurrying
in that direction he and companion
searched all night, but without result.
Sheriff Grace and the Deputy District Al
torney drove late this afternoon to the
Leslie ranch, where the assault was COM
mitted 1t is understood they have new
clew, but Under Sheriff Austin refuses TO
talk of the matter. Up to late n3ur

here this afternoon that If the man re-
sponsible for Mrs Shank's condition Were
caught in that vicinity the citizens would

II UREKA, July 29.-The mystery
IL surrounding the assassination of
Rancher Henry Stegemeyer near
IL PhilipsviIIe seems no nearer a So
luton than it was on the day his
lifeless body was discovered in the bed
room to which he had crawled after
having received a mortal wound. The
one fact upon which the officers have
TO work is that the rancher was in con-
stant fear of the fate that eventually
overlook him. and as he expressed this
fear to certain of his neighbors there
IS a possibility that they may yet be
induced to talk and place the authori-
ties in possession of information that
may lead to the apprehension Of the
guilty persons. Despite the slow prog
ress that has been made. those who are
conducting the investigation are conf
dent that in time the assasstns will be
brought to justice.
