coloners experiences in business and
politics. The other women were civil
to her, but little distant. This may
have been due to the suspicious hints
let fall by Josephine and her aunt, OF
it may have arisen simply from the
fact that she was a widow. All single
women and most married ones think
that the widow should take her place
on the funeral pyre> beside the body OF
the husband. after the Indian fashion.
When the fishing party had departed,
the next morning. the colonel betook
himself to the bowling-alley. whittier
none but a few old enthusiasts ever
came. At one end Of the long room,
in little alcove, there was window
that looked out over the ocean. The
widow was fond Of this quiet. secluded
spot, and on days when Josephine and
her aunt were away, the colonel usually
found her there. She had a soft crepe
shawl over her rounded shoulders. and
she was busy over beaded purse.
She scarcely looked up from her work

by her side. "Are you going to play?"
she asked; and he replied, according to
the regular formula: presently. May
I sit here?"
"Certainly." She looked innocentlv
beyond him, toward the alley. "Did
your daughter come down with you?"
Miss Josephine never played.
"She has gone fishing with her aunt
and the rest of them. Why didn't you
go too?"
As matter OF fact the widow had
not been asked. 81 do not care for
fishing" she said. and as she did so
she baited her hook with sweet
smile and threw it ont toward him.
The colonel's old heart gave youth
ful jump, and his hand trcmbled a lit
tie, as he readjusted his eyeglasses.

The C0mmoncr Again.

IlNCULN, Ncp., Jan. 3u.-- me second
number of Mr.. B"yan's Ccmmoncr, which
has now attained circulation Of $1,000,
appeared last evening. The leading cd
iorial is devoted to Queen Victoria and
concludes: ut is n high, yet deserved
tribute to her to say that no one eXer-
cising royal prerogatives could have done
better and that the world at large has
cause to mourn her demise" Perhaps
the most interesting editorial is upon the
Cleveland proposition to increase the
presidents term to six years and limit
him to one term. Upon this he says: "'ro
lengthen the presidents term is simply
to enlarge the stake for which great in
terests play. The trusts could increase
their campaign fund 50 per cent if they
could secure the control of an adminis-
tration for six years instead of four. A
four year term is long enough for a
good president and too long for a bad

Night and Torchlight Custom
Abandoned IN Victoria's Case.
QUEEN PLANNED Her own FUNERAL,

Orders For Fridays Naval Display
Fearing Anarchist Attacks, Entire
Detective Force Of the Kingdom
win Guard Royal Personages.
LONDON. ian. 3O.-The earl marshal,
the Duke of Norfolk, was unable TO sec
King Edward yesterday In order to OBJ
tain his majesty's final sanction for the
funeral arrangements. Nothing there
fore has been definitely settled except
the programme for Friday, already ca
bled, although the entire programme has
been practically arranged.
"Queen Victolia's explicit directions
as to her funeral were written in 1862, "
says Truth. "and have not been altered
in any material respect. 1t was her wish
that Ceremonial should copy that Of
Prince AlbeIt's burial as far as possible.
The queen will be the first English SOW
ereign v ho will not be buried ut night
and by torchlight."
The war office has invited colonial Off
GERS and soldiers in England to take
part In the funeral procession. Minute
guns will be fred from all ships in the
Solent and at Cowes, commencing when
the Alberta leaves Trinity pier Each
ship will cease fire Immediately the end
Of the procession passes her.
In London active preparations are be-
Ing made all along the route. Houses are
being draped, and seating accommodation
is being provided. A committee of ladies'
has obtained permission to hang wreatls
Of evergreen along the line, one to be
affixed to each lamp post, and all beii.s
three feet in diaI9eter and of uniform
pattern.
OF all the ceremonies no doubt the ma
val will be the finest pageant. The Al.
berta, with the body, will slowly steam
along line of battleships extending eight
miles. Facing these giants of the British
navy will be smaller vessels and numer-
Gus foreign battleships.
About $500 troops will be engaged in
the procession from Osborne to Cowes.
Ten thousand volunteers will be employ
ed along the line of the route in London
in addition to 10000 regulars. Some dis
appointment is likely to be caused by the
statement that no photographs will be al
lowed to be taken Of the procession from
Osborne to Cowes.
The entire detective machinery Of the
United Kingdom and the continent has
been set in motion to protect the royal
personagcs and other notable people now
gathering in London. Unwieldy as the
continental secret services often appear
TO be, every effort is being made to unity
them in order that no injury may befall
any royal parsonage attendant upon the
0bseauies of the late queen.
