ual last night about a quarter after

ten minutes whan l.. A. Avcrill, who
was passing at the time. stopped and
asked Smith if he knew his house was
on fire.
Mr.. Smith Immediately ran upstairs
but could not see any indications of
tire until he opened the door of a
closet in his daughters room where he
found IA seethlng mass of flames.

She Stuck to the Fa miIy

From the Washington Post.
 One of the stories that the late Senator Palmer was fondest of telling had to do with an aged gentlewoman bearing the same name as himself who lives some- where down on the eastern shore of Vir ginia, in the county where Senator Palm CTS grandfather was born. One of the Senator's Washington friends happened to meet the old lady down there, and asked her if she were not a kinswoman of his. She did not know, but thought perhaps she might be. The gentleman was of Virginian descent was he not? And in the United States Senate? Yes, she quite sure he was kinsman.
 Was he in the army?" she asked
 "Yes," answered the Senator's friend, Che was in the army and a general"
 The old lady was positive he was rea- ton.
 -But," went on the friend, 'he was a gen. eral in the Union army
 The old ladys face fell, but she rallied bravely.
 Well" she said, "you know there's a black sheep in every family"

IDOL OF HER PEOPLE
Young Queen Wilhelmina Admired by
 All Her Subjects

Hague Letter in New York Herald.
 The affection with which she is regarded is almost worship.
 Her youth, sound common sense, attrac- tive looks and sympathy with her people in all things have made her the nation s idol.
 One old paramentarian's eyes filled with tears as he spoke to me ;his afternoon of the little Queen"-little, in this case, be ing an affectionate figure of speech.
 The editor of one of the papers here ex- plained the Queens popularity by saying: She is really of us, one of our blood sharing our ways of thinking, speaking by preference our language"
 In this connection an anecdote that is well authenticated is current here.
 One of the ladies of the court has two bonnie little children, whose good looks were often alluded to in conversation. One day the Queen expressed a desire to see the children. They were sent for and when they arrived her majesty spoke to them gently in Dutch. The two tots shyly looked at the charming young girl shyly without answering, upon which their moth CT said in excuse: 'They have not learned Dutch yet, your majesty, but they speak both French and English"
 Then" said the girl Queen, turning away, please oblige me by bringing them to me again when they can speak their na- tive language"
 Such an incident could not fail to in- crease her peoples affection, for her na- tonal pride Is one of the most powerful traits of Dutch character. Indeed, the only reserves I have heard expressed about the Queens choice have been on the score that her fiance is a Mecklenburg-Schwe
 No matter how eligible he may be in other respects, he Is not quite of the ex alted rank one would have desired for the consort of the descendant of the glorious Orange-Nassau line.
 On the other hand, he Is already looked upon with liking, as it is felt that no or dinary man could have won their young Queens heart and succeeded where Prince Max von Baden.

Lee and the Hall of Fame

From the Mobile Register.
 One of the New York Suns so-called pa triotic readers, in the course of a protest, asks the editor "Why Robert E. Lee should have his name In the Hall of Fame" and Ito be named with such men as Washing ton and Lincoln" The Sun at once enters on a vicious attack upon General Lee, claiming that in resigning as an officer of the United States and joining the army of the Confederacy he committed "a crime against civilization" and concludes t> lengthy statement endeavoring to prove it's own verdict by saying that "a weak and mawkish sentimentality put the name of Lee among the great commanders entitled to the veneration of posterity.'
 The news that Lees name had been given a place in the Gould Hall of Fame natural ly created pleasant impression among the people of the South, who place Lee secoa1 only to Washington, and give him that place in the worlds history great com- mander, in which time and posterity will eventually place him. Fortunately the memory of Lee is not given into the hands of such men the editor of the Sun
 Fortunately, also, there are those on the other side of the line, who are not afflicted with that vindictive spirit, which belongs to the camp follower, and not to the men who stood in the front on the line of fire. To such as these recognition of Lee is due That these have so far forgotten the = t as to think Lees name worthy or panel, the south doffs its hats in pleasing appre- ciation
 What the editor of the Sun. and his kind says. does not stir ripple of resentment. Their kind are known down south as the earpetbag hangers-on, whose most glorious era was in reconstruction days when their orgie or corruption was maintained until it was found to be a matter of self-prese serva tion to drive them out of power. Known thus, their words carry no weight, and so long as they venomously talk at distance they attract passing attention only.
 So far as to the placing of the name of Lee in the Hall of Fame Is concerned, people down this way think the haIl is hon. ored, not the name of Lee. If his name had not been chosen it would have caused no surprise, considering the opposition coming from such as the Suns editor: nor would 1t have created ul-feeeling or disappoint- ment, because Lees name now shines and will ever shine. brighter than any lustre which can be possibly given it by the Hall of Fame.

there. MT. Hill writes, will necessarily be considered in the negotiations for defl- nite settlement between China and the powers. While it should be premature to open access to the Chinese interior for our citizens engaged in commercial or profess sional pursuits, it would seem there should be no objection to MT. Cunningham's re- turn. The United States forces at Tien Tsin and Pekin would, doubtless, afford him all facilities for his return not in con- hict with regulations which may have been adopted regarding the return of foreigners to the interior.
 A copy of this correspondence will be sent Minister Conger for his information. MT. Cunningham, who was in this coun- try on furlough at the time of the out break in China, recently applied for per mission to return to his post.
 He. is now in San Francisco and with his wife will sail for China Sunday.

Facts About the Sirdar

The Sirdar (Sir Francis Wingate), who Is now on his way to London for short stay is remarkably young man for the import ant position he now holds, and he Is one of those who carry an old head on young shoulders. Twenty years ago, when only 19, he entered the Royal Artillery, and reached his majority at 2S. When only 23 Wingate served as military secretary to Sir Evelyn Wood in the Nile expedition, and received especial mention in the dis patches for his brilliant work. The Sir dar's later career is familiar to everybody He fought at Toski, Tokar, Afaft, Firket Hafr, Atbara and Omdurman, carries more medals and decorations than any other man of his age in the world, and does not look as if he had ever been in anything more dangerous than a hanson.

Zangwlll,s Estimate of Fame

Israel Zangwill, the Jewish novelist, wrote his first book when he was student at London University The effort occupied four evenings-he always works in spurts- and he and a friend paid ten pounds to have the tale published in pamphlet form. It sold well at a penny copy. One little shop in Whitechapel alone sold 600 copies, and it even got on to Smiths bookstalls Zangwill's advice to would-be authors shows that he has not made a name with out suffering He says: If you are bless ed with talent, great industry and conceit, it is possible, by dint of saving day and night for years during the fiowef of your youth, to attain to fame infinitely less widespread than prize fighters"

PERT AND PERSONAL.
Origin of the Hopes

The Earl of Hopetoun is the first Govern or of Federated Australia. The Hopes, Earls of Hopetoun, notwithstanding their surname, which ought to be Saxon, are or French origin, springing from De Hope who went to Scotland with Mary of Guise' mother of Mary Stuart. They were not ad- mitted to the Scottish peerage until 1703 They derive their title from the same par ish in West Lothian as the Hamiltons Dukes of Abercorn, the modern Hopetoun house representing the medieval Abercorn Castle. Hopetoun house is palatial man. sion which has few equals in Scotland. The Hopetoun estates are worth about S,00O pounds a year.
