Queen Victoria.

All the world Will join Great
Britain in mourning her aged soy
ereign, Victoria. Christianity has
found in the good and virtuous
English queen one of its strongest
pillars in the State and in her own
person one OF its most notable ex-
emplars. In her rule Queen
Victoria has ever been lust and
moderate and aught that the
world may have to complain OF
during her reign Of sixty three
years has been due to cIrcumstan-
ces over which the womanly mon
arch had little or no control. for.
alter all, she has been Of necessity
but a fgurehead in the English
government.
England and the world, however,
have been the better for Victoria's
reign, which in main and especially
insofar as 1t bore the impress Of
her own personality has been the
better for Christianity and c;viliza-
ton. Wherever cruelty, oppres-
sion and greed have dominated its
policy it has been without her will.
Pre-eminentlY has this been true
IN the matter of the South African
war which not only never had the
sanction of the Queen, but is cred
tied with the responsibility for her
breakdown in health, the strain Of
that cruel situation being more
than the good and motherly heart
could bear.
Prince Albert Edward. the
Prince of Wales, will ascend tn c
throne as King Edward VII. with
TIE eye of the world fixed upon
him In keen and absorbing inter
est He assumes the greatest
crown in Christendom at time
when the affairs of Great Britain
would seem to be nearing one of
the most important crises Of Eng
lish history.

THERE ARE
TALKS OF PEACE
A Story in Which the Beers
Are Reported as Asking
for Peace.

New York, Nov. 14.-Peace ne
gotiations are reported from
every quarter except Botha 5
headquarters in the saddle, says
the London representative of the
Tribune.
There is a story that the Beers
in arms have approached Kitch-
ener and have intimated a desire
for peace, without any reference
to Kruger, Steny or Botha, but
this lis a stransparent fiction,
started for the purpose of ex-
planning Salisbury's yelled re-
ference to grounds of confidence
which he could not lay bare.
There can be no peace while 5000
Beers and Cape rebels hold the
field nnder a dozen or more guer-
rilla leaders.
The recent address of Charles
Francis Adams of Boston, draw
ing an analogy between the con-
ditions in South Africa and those
in the United States at the time
of Gthe AppomattoX surrender
and showing that Lee refused TO
sanction guerrilla warfare be-
cause he considered it immoral
and unchristian, has produced
deep impression here. The i'm
peral South African asso ,iation
has decided to reprint the text
of the address in pamphlet form
for the benefit of pro-Boer sym
pathizers.

ley the 9th of this month, has
been postponed until the 18th of

There is not man or woma n

to ask such a question. The
only question at issue is, "Do we
want municipal or private own

valuation favor municipal owner

CREPE DE CHIMES POPULARITY.
Worn in All Shades For Street and Even
ing Gowns.


Crepe de chine is having it's innings
this year and throws into the shade
some old favorites in the way of dress
goods. The fayorite material is worn
in all shades and appears in street as
well as evening gowns, house gowns,
and in everything in the way OF 4
gown that a clever modiste can sug-
gest. The identical material, shade
and all, may masquerade in any num-
Der of different gowns, the simplicity
or elaborateness of the making dc.
terminins the position of the gown in
the wardrobe of the wearer.
There is not a shade that can be
mentioned that is not being worn,
though black and white vie with each
other for the first rank in popularity
The pastel shades are as popular in
the crepes as in other goods of all
kinds and descriptions. There are the
tans and grays, the browns aud blues,
in the latter the bright marine blue,
The electric, and the navy being popu-
lar. Other shades are coming in in
the spring rumors which are well
grounded say, and bright red of near.
ly the golf shade will be among them,
and a cerise red.
Crepes come in all prices as well as
in all shades and range from 81 to IS
8 yard. There is not as great Il varia-
ton as might seem in these prices, for
the lower priced goods are from twen-
ty-one TO twenty-four inches wide
while the more expensive goods come
ut fiftyfour inches and cut to infinite
ly better advantage. 1t hardly pays to
buy the cheapest goods, as they are
lighter in weight and have not the
wearing qualities of the heavier or the
the body TO give them good lines. Tho
plain colors have the advantage this
season, and they are more popular in
all goods than fancy designs.
With the plain crepe de chimes are
the satin finished, crepe metiores, the
crinkled crepes, and crepe aconne, or
broche, with figures of pretty rosebud
designs and various medium and small
figures. These latter crepes, which
are exceedingly attractive, range at
about 50 yard which is high for a
popular material, the medium-priced
goods being always more in demand.
Crepe de chimes this year are taking
the place of the satin duchesse and
even OF the reau de sole.
ChiffonS come in in the history of
crepe de chimes, for they so into the
makeup of SO many of them, varying
according to the character of the
gowns. The chiffon is not used to any
great extent for entire gowns. 1t is
too fragile and its beauty depends
upon its freshness. 1t is charming in
accordion pleated gowns, but it takes
at least forty yards TO make a frock
of that kind.

An All-British Pacific Cable,

The new all-British Pacific cable has
been definitely decided upon, and a
tender Of $685. 900 for furnishing and
laying the same accepted. The cable
will be 1000 miles in all. The longest
fink, approximately $500 miles, will be
the longest single section in the world.
The route taken by this new cable
from Canada to Queensland, will be
Tia Tanning Island Fiji and Norfolk
Islands, but the exact route win be
kept secret in order to enhance the
difficulty OF cable-cutters in war time.
As a matter Of fact the cable is being
laid with the idea of alfording greater
security to, Great Britain and her col
onles in times of war by ensuring un-
interrupted cable communication by
means of n cable touching only at
British ports. 1t will be laid largely
in deep water, and is to be completed
before the end Of 1892.
