LIFE OF THE QUEEN.
VICTORIA PALMER THAN MANY
OF HER SUBJECTS.
The Queen of England Lives More Fru-
gally and Maintains "a Greater Air
Of HOmeiiness About Her Private
Rooms-Her Daily LabOrs.

The home life Of Queen Victoria has
ever been a subject Of widespread in
terest and sympathy. Her somewhat
dull and monotonous childhood, her
idyllic married life, her long widow
hood and her peaceful but busy old age
have alike attracted both writers and
readers OH every hand. Perhaps the
most remarkable feature in the Queens
career has been the skill with which
she has contrivcd to maintain the
charm and simplicity Of an old-fash-
toned English home life notwithstand-
Ing the pomp and ceremony which ne
cess:rily belong to court. This Is large
ly due to her early training. The
daughter of the Duke of Kent a prince
OF very limited income, the young
Princess Victoria saw little Of the lux
ury which is commonly supposed to
abound in royal circles. Strict econo-
my was the rule Of her early home,
and the lesson has never been forgot

Amid the costly magnifcence which
racterizes the state apartments the
Queens private rooms are always nota-
ble for their comfort and LONELINESS.
In matters of dress, too. Queen Victoria
is far more economical than many Of
her middle class subjects.

For years the battle between the

The Queen attributes her long life
and excellent health very largely TO her
practice of spending as much time as
possible in the open air every day. III
her youth riding was her favorite recre-
alton. and in Scotland she has almost
lived on pony back. Now, of course
carriage exercise has taken Its place.
Every morning her Majesty goes out III
her little pony chair, often visiting the
farm and stables in the course OF her
drive. Sometimes her chair Is drawn
by beautiful donkey which was pur-
chased in the south of France by ms
royal mistress to save him from Ill
treatment This donkey rejoices In the
name Of Jacko, and on holiday Occa-
sions wears a curious harness adorned
with bells and with two foxes brushes
hanging over his blinkers. The greater
part Of the forenoon Of each week day
il devoted to business, for no woman In
the land gets through more actual work
in the course of each week than the
Queen. Her dispatch boxes are ar
ranged on table set In Windsor Park,
near the Frogmore teahouse, whenever
the weather permits. Here the Queen
carefully reads and annotates the in
Vulnerable dispatches which come to
her from the foreign and home offices,
for 1t has been the rule Of her life to
attend personally to all important af-
fairs of state.
| But this by no means represents all
the multifarious occupations Of the
Queen. Her private correspondence Is
enormous. for 1t Is a kind of unwrtten
family law that all her children and
grandchildren shall write to her every
day. All important housekeeping ques-
tions are settled by the royal mistress
herself, who often orders the meals and
even keeps an eye on the household
linen.
Even the smallest details of domestic
economy are not regarded by the Queen
MS beneath her notice. a story Is told
that on one occasion she went into a
practically disused room at Windsor
and noticed a cabinet that had evil

Letter Carriers Society Now Has n
Membership of 10000.

DETROIT. Mich. Sept. 2.-Some 100 MEN,
bers of the National Association of Letter
Carriers had arrived this evening TO attend
the annual meeting of the association to be
held this week. The early arrivals came
largely from the East and middle West
Tie presence of the letter carriers will re-
suit in two Labor day parades tomorrow.
Officers of the association announce that
Ii has now membership of 5000 with 7i5
local branches. and that all the government
letter carriers in the country with the ex-
ception OF about 1000 are included in its
membership. AS usual in the annual meet
ings the principal subjects of discussion
relate 20 possible legislation by Congress
Affecting letter carriers. Increase of SAL
aries TO a uniform rate for carriers of both
the first and second class is to be urged.
Carriers of postoffices of the first class now
receive $1,000 and OF the second class $3.50.
What the men desire is uniform salary
of 81 200.
The question of pensions for infirm and
disabled letter carriers, which has been dis
cussed for some years. has resulted in
preparation of bill providing for payment
OF such pensions by specially appointed
officer of the Postoffice Department, out of
a fund raised by assessing each carrier
Der cent. of his salary. The bill provides
for administration of the matter by the de-
partment without any further expense to
the government.

TO the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Mr. Burke, of your city, has been up in
this part of the State giving the people
solemn tip that somebody has stolen the
holy grail of liberty in the last year or
two, and that unless everybody becomes
knight -errant in its search and intrusts IL
to William Jawsmith Bryan. the precious
chalice is liable to be punched full of holes
i'm the hands of the reveling monsters of
greed and commercialism who constitute
the courtiers of Imperator McKinleys
court. Liberty is in an awful bad way,
according to Mr.. Burke, and he proposes
to announce daily bulletins from now until
Nov. on the state of its health. He seems
to have been appointed a trustee under
Bryan TO thwart the dire designs of those
perfidous trustees under God who insist
that Filipino soil shall bear the benign and
beneficent fruits of American sovereignty
He declines to follow the flag because, as
he said here. lit is the flag of Republican
ISM not the standard of liberty. Then he
paraphrased Pitts famous saying IF 1
were an American as | am an English
man." etc. in form as follows IF / were
a Filipino as 1 am an American, so long as
a foreign foe remained on my native soil
would never lay down my arms-never
no. never.
But Mr.. Burke is not the first Democrat
TO pharaphrase these words. Clement L.
Vallandigham, that political degenerate of
Lincolns day, was Burke's forerunner
when he said
IF L were Virginian as / am an Ohioan
so long as a Lincoln hireling remained on
the sacred soil of my native State | would
never lay down my arms-never, no.

Since Vallandigham never took up arms
even when transported beyond the lines of
liberty and union, where bearers of arms
were sorely needed. there was more irony
in his speech than steel in his words But
the people of Ohio rebuked the Dayton con-
perhead at the polls with so many scores
of thousands majority that Vallandigham
Is now only an unsavory memory. There is
no reason to believe that the patriotic peo-
pie OF the Seventh district will disregard
so wise and just precedent in Mr. Burke's
case. He is not merely Mr.. Overstreet's
