The will of Queen Victoria will not
be proved, for the probate court has
no power over the testament of the
sovereign, and there exists no ma
chinery by which probate can be
granted. The exact contents of the
will will, therefore, not be made
known to the public, though doubtless
some information win be forthcom-
ing as to the general tenor of the
document. The only royal will which
has been published since that of
Henry VIII. is, we believe, that of
George London Globe.

FELT SUSPICIOUS OF HIM.
Hospital Patient was Uneasy Because
of an Undertaker's At
tentions.

Patients at Bellevue hospital are
not always destitute. Some of them
who are able to pay gain admittance
through a pull. 1t was a pull that
got one East side young man into one
of the surgical wards recently, says
the New York Sun.
He knew everyone about the hos.
pi'ai, from the unpaid orderlies to
the superintendent, and he had polit-
zeal influence. Before going into the
institution he left a liberal sum OF
money with an undertaken in the
neighborhood with which to buy him
delicacies. Every day good, whole
some dishes were taken to him BY
the runner for the undertaken.
The less fortunate patients in the
ward often looked at him with envy
when the smell of the food would re-
awaken their apPetites deadened by
the coarse hospital fare.
On one occasion the runner was not
on, hand when the patient sent for
some chicken fricassee and the un-
dertaker himself carried in the dish.
He deposited it on a small table
alongside of the patients cot and
then left, saying he would call later.
Say, Gull, who's de swell bloke dat
jis bro't yer de feed?" asked one of
TIE less fortunate patients from .
nearby cot.
That's -, the undertaken up the
street, who is very close friend of
mine," said the patient, at the same
time devouring the meal with appar-
ent relish. There's more here than
] can eat, and if you don't mind I'll
split up with you." he continued.
The other patient answered that
he didn't care for any of the food,
much to the surprise of the well-to-
do patient, who said:
whats the matter with you? Have
you lost your appetite or won't the
doctor let you eat?"
The one to whom this was adj
dressed turned on his side, and. look
ing curiously at the patient who was
enjoying the luxurious meal, replied:
Now, you look like pretty wise
gazabo. but I t'ink I'm up to a whole
lot fnore'n you. just at dis minute
I cud commit murder fer dish like
dat one. but I'm not takin' any
chances on an undertaken"
He rolled over on his back and with
> panied expression on his face said:
"H's hard 'nuff ter be layin' up

an examination disclosed no bruises on
his body Dr. Robson was called to the
case and the man was taken to the Com

manned in a semi-cOnscious condition I'M

poisoning and concussion of the brain.

rendered.
