VICTORIA'S FORTUNE.
The Late Queen Had Large Income
in Addition to Her Allowance
from the Government.

London, Jan. 23.-The queens private
wealth yielded an income of about 200,-
900 pounds yearly. This Is exclusive
OF 3S5,000 pounds annually from par
lament. Her private income, as gath
cred from easily available sources, was
from the Duchy of Lancaster, up
wards of $4,000 pounds; from 1882
acres in the queens own estates, $4,000
pounds; from London realty, supposed
ly 10000 pounds; in consols and other
securities, between three and four mil
lions. She inherited nearly all the
prince consorts estate of 600, 900 pounds
forty years ago, and 100000 In 1852
from John Camden Nield the son of a
rich jeweler.
The queen was clear-headed busi-
ness woman and. OF course, had the
best advice. In 1881, by the advice of
Lord Cross. Lord Sidney and Sir Ar
Eold White, she bought property for
$4,000 pounds, the market value of
which Is now reckoned to be 27000O
pounds. She has estates in several
German municipalities and inherited a
beautiful villa at Baden from Princess
Hohenlohe. The queens laces are
worth an enormous sum. These and
he, private jewels. gold plate and pic
lures, etc, are estimated to value
more than million pounds sterling.
