Richmond was saddened yesterday
morning by the news that Mr.. William ],

night previous. 1t was about 10 o'clock
Christmas night when this soodiy man
died, leaving behind him an honored ca
reer. a large family and a host of loyal
trends who sincerely mourn his depar-
ture.
While Mr. Mcdowell had been in feeble
health for long time, his death was very
sudden. as he was able Tuesday to go
from his home in this city to that OF his
son, in East Richmond, on the street

The officers have their own cooks
and servants. The bathrooms are
commOdious, and books can be pro-
cured from the state library. The ra-
tons supplied to the prisoners are of
much the same quantity and quality
as those issued to the wives and fam
lilies of burghers throughout the state.
The great bulk of the captured men
are in camp at Waterfall, the new
military prison camp outside of Pre-
toria. Their quarters consist of a
series of long galvanized iron sheds.
In them the soldiers make themselves
comfortable, and seem to have settled
down to a regular garrison existence.
The large Enclosure is surrounded by
a barbed-wire ENHANCEMENT. Each
corner is protected by stockades, on
which Maxim guns are mounted Each
stOckade is in electric communication
with the others, and the whole camp
seems to form an absolutely secure
detention ground for the prisoners.
The sentries appear to be men of
middle age. They are in everyday
life multi, and look anything but mil
itary, the only evidence of soldierly
duties being their rifles and bando-
liers. 1t Is a matter for congratula.
ton that many of the prisoners have
expressed their appreciation of the
treatment melted out to them. They
were for a time fed upon the rations
captured by the Beers at Dundee, and
were allowed to purchase fruit and
vegetables. The hospital arrange
ments are said to be excellent, but
complaints had been made that the
water supplied to the camp was un-
suitable. The Government, therefore,
is now sending a daily supply of foun-
tain water in tanks from Pretoria.

sponuent how he Jared, replied

An Ased Student.

Monarchs can never afford to leave
off learning, whatever their subjects
may do. A striking instance In point
is furnished by an article in Parsons
Magazine, an article the proof-sheets
Of which were corrected by Queen Vic
toria. herself.
From this article 1t appears that in
spite Of all her duties and RESPONSE
bilities, in spite of the fact that she has
devoted so much time to the study Of
politics as to have become one Of the
greatest living authorities on the prac-
teal politics Of Europe, Queen Vic
toria has, within the later years of her
reign, acquired an intimate acquain-
lance with a difficult language spoken
by a large number of her subjects.
She makes it a custom, we are as
sured, to note In Hindustani the daily
events of her life, keeping diary for
this special purpose. She speaks the
language fiuently, having devoted a
part Of every day for the last ten. years
to instruction in it, and to acquiring
a knowledge of the intellectual treas
ures Of the East.
The queen has surprised many Of her
Indian visitors by making unexpected
observations in good Hindustani. Az
everybody knows, she Is always at
tended, when at home, by one or more
of her picturesque Indian servants. 1t
is not, however, so generally known
that she always speaks to them In their
own tongue. However small the re-
mark, or however serious the COM
mand, 1t comes to them in Hindustani.
Universal admiration has been ex-
pressed at the determination Of the
queen at an advanced age, not only to
learn to speak Hindustani, but also to
to take an interest in the literature of
India, and to acquaint herself with the
ideas and aspirations of her Oriental
subjects.
