What Victoria Wears.

Queen Victoria still wears the old
fashioned elastic-side boots and
prunelia or black satin slippers. The
skirts of all her gowns but those for
house and evening wear have rings
attached, by which she can raise
them at wet and muddy places,
although she walks but little. Her
handkerchiefs are as fine almost as
cobwebs. and are usually carried in
her hand. Her decollete bodices are

The opinion of Judge Townsend of

New York is to the effect that Porto
Rico is, or was in June, 1899, a sub

That is to say, the constitution
does not follow the flag. Trade may
follow the symbol of liberty, but lib

the star-spangled banner, but consti-

This decision concludes nothing be-
cause the question must ultimately
be settled by the supreme court. But
it is interesting because it comes pat

cruelest outrages ever perpetrated in
New Orleans took place early this
mornin. As a result, a boy OF Il
years OF age, lies at the charity hos
pital with his legs and lower part OF
his body almost roasted The police
are hunting for the brute responsible
for the lads condition. Jacob
Schwneck is hard working boy OF
10, who ekes out the family income
by selling papers. This morning l.e
was up early, and while waiting for
the papers to 90 TO press fell asleep
in a doorway at the corner of Canal
street. James Gillen saw him sleep
ing and made up his mind TO have
some fun" He walked into a near
by bar room and secured a glass Of
absinthe, highly inflamable stuff and
he poured it all over Jacob trousers
Then he touched a match, and in a
second the boys clothing was afame.
Alarmed at his work, Gillen took to
his heels, while the boy canned in
agony. Some passers-by We're att
tracted by the outcries and put out
the flames. but not before Jacob :
legs and the lower part of his body
were horribly burned.
The boy was taken to the hospital,
where his injuries We're tenderly dress
ed. The physicians say that his
burns are very serious, and that the
chances are he is injured for life Tn
der the Louisiana law Gillen can be
charged with nothing more serious
than assault and battery, but his
offense has caused much Indignation
and he will probably get the limit o.
