THE LAST SAD LOOK
AT vICTORIA'S FACE
Her Mortal Remains Placed
In the Coffin.
AN AFFECTING INCIDENT

King Albert Stood Speechless, While
the Kaiser and Other Sorrowing Rel
atives Were Stricken With Emotion
and Wept Bitterly.
CowEs, Isle of Wight, Jan. 2G.-The
royal family yesterday took their last
loving look at the features of the dead
queen. About 10 o'clock i'll the morn
ing the shell was brought into the bed
room, where were waiting King Ed
ward, Emperor William, the Duke of
Connaught, Sir James Reid and the
royal ladies. The latter having retired
Sir James Reid, with reverept hands,
assisted by three trusted household SER
wants, and in the presence of the king,
the emperor and the duke, removed the
body from the bed to the coffin.
Not trace of the ravages of disease
was visible. The servants having re-
tired, Queen Alexandra, the princesses
and the children were recalled, and
with lingering steps and stuffed sobs,
they passed slowly before the white
robed and peaceful figure. At the foot,
never moving, stood the king, and when
the mourning crowd had passed there
remained only the son and grandson of
the dead.
The Kaiser Wept.
Emperor William wept even more
bitterly than the royal ladies. Finally
he also retired, and the king was left
alone. Sir James Reid, beckoning to
the servants, who were holding the
coffin lid, asked the kings instructions.
For a few seconds the king stood
speechless, stricken with emotion at the
last farewell Then he said quickly:
"Close it finally. Lt must not be
opened again.
Thus the remains of England's great
est ruler were forever hidden from hui
man view. Reverently the coffin was
borne into the diningroom. Officers and
men from the royal yachts took their
stand around the coffin, over which the
king, queen and kaiser gently laid the
robes of knight of the Garter. placing
at the head diamond crown. Beneath
lay the royal ensign, while hanging
above was the union jack.
At the altar was the rector of Whip
bingham, who read a portion of the fun
eral service in the presence of the royal
family. Emperor William covered his
face with his hand and the grief of
Princess Beatrice was pitiful. After
the benediction each placed wreath
upon the coffin and then all retired

A soNG-wRITING PRINCE.
nnIeen singh, whose Grandfather

Prince Duleep Singh, by right OF sue
cession entitled TO the throne of the
Maharaiah Runjeet Singh, is a song
composer of more than ordinary merit.

Their. who left among his papers the
manuscript of an opera which Prince
Duleep Singh has declared his inten-
ton of having scored for orchestra and
presented at Covent garden, London,
saws the Philadelphia Saturday Even
ing Post.
The prince, who leads the life OF an
English country gentleman at Hook
void hall, Norfolk, and who is cap
tain in a volunteer regiment, was edu-
Gated at Elton and Cambridge, and
married, some three years ago, the
youngest daughter of the earl of Gov

His annual pension from the British
government is 100000, about s25O,OOO.
He belongs to several fashionable
clubs, and for two years was honorary
aid de camp to Lieut.. Gen. Ross, when
that gentleman was in command at
Halifax, N. s.
The famous Kohinoor diamond, now
one of the English crown jewels, was
the property of his grandfather, Run

sonage, whose sole legacy from his
father was a troop of cavalry, acquired
the vast territory bounded by the In

GenIua of IreIand.

The genius of Ireland is curiously
paradoxical subject, and requires q
study to itself. Though so many
great men have been associated with
Ireland, when we analyze them accord
ing to race we find that remarkably
large proportion Of them are Of English
or Scotch descent. Bishop Berkeley, foI
instance, is often called an Irishman
though his father was English CHS
mothers origin is unknown). and
though he always considered himself
an Englishman. The great Irish pa.
triots have usually had English blood
in their veins, and have sometimes even
been proud of the fact. And yet, while
this is so, Ireland has somehow had
the art of imparting some of her
subtlest qualities to those happy Eng
lishmen who had the good fortune to
possess some slight strain of her
blood, or to be born in her land, or
even TO have lived there in youth. The
greatest English humorists and wits
Swift and Sterne and Congreve-had
this good fortune. In the same way,
while Ireland has scattered her saints
over England and the continent, her
own patron saint is Scotchman, who
was never eanonized. The contribution
of Ireland TO our national genius can
not well be stated in numerical values.

In Case of Fire.

In case of fire If the burning articles
are al once splashed with a solution or
salt aud nitrate of ammonia an In
combustble coating IS formed. This Is
preparation which can be made at
home at triflDg cost and should be
kept on hand. Dissolve 20 pounds of
common salt and 10 pounds of nitrate
Of ammonia in 7 gallons OF water.
Pour this into quart bottles OF thin
glass, and fire grenades are at hand
ready for USE These bottles must be
tightly corked and sealed to prevent
evaporation, and in case of fire they
must be thrown near the flames so as
to break and liberate the gas contain
ed. At least two dozen of these bottles
should be ready for an emergency.
In this connection 1t Is well to re-
member that water on burning oil scat
tiers the flame, but that flour will extin-
gulsh 1t. Salt thrown upon fire
IL the chimney Is burning will help to
deaden the blaze.
If fire once gets under Roadway, a
covering becomes necessity. A silk
handkerchief moistened and wrapped
about the mouth and nostrils prevents
suffocation from smoke. Failing this.
piece of wet dannel will answer.
Should smoke fill the room, remem-
Der that it goes first to the top of the
room and then to the floor. Wrap a
blanket or wooden garment about you,
with the wet cloth over your face,
drop on your hands and knees and
crawl to the window.

Americans Are Easily swindsed on

There will doubtless never come a
time In the history of the art world
when the discovery of "old masters
will cease, certainly not as long as
American picture buyers possess the
almighty dollar and are willing to be

Nearly every week in New York for
the last year there have been auction
sales of rare old masters" Some of
them are rare, indeed: one that was

In Detroit some time ago, supposed to
be a study of an old man by Rubens,
the left hand of which was nearly
twice the size of its mate. and the term
''rare" did certainly apply very APPLY

Do people ever stop to think how
many of these "old masters" there are
in existence? Any one may have an

are many artists in Paris and else

and the only one in existence. The
same gentleman while on recent tour
through Spain was shown the original

does not say what he did with the
dealer. If there lie a hereafter for these
discoveries of ''old masters" their con-

RHEUMATISM
Caused by an Impure Condition
OF the Blood-How It NAV
Be Permanently Cured.
From The Mirror. ,Manchester. N n


Although rheumatism is one of the
most painful and dangerous of the
many troubles which afflict mankind.
it can be permanently cured if proper
! course OF treatment is taken. The real
cause OF rheumatism is the presence of
acid in the blood and the only cure is
to purify, nourish and strengthen this
vital fluid. The best specific yet dis
covered for this purpose IS DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People and
the number of cures they have effected
in cases of this stubborn disease is
wonderful. Mrs. S. d. Loyeland, of
No. 1873 West Hancock street, Man.
chester, N. H., was cured of a severe
attack of rheumatism by the use of this
remedy. She says:
Several years ago one of my knees
was injured by fall. About the first
OF June, 1897, rheumatism set in and
at last got so bad that l could not bend
my knee. 1t was very painful and |
was unable to move about. | tried
various remedies, but not one of them
relieved me in any way.
In the latter part OF August, nearly
three months after the pain and stiff
ness began, friend, Mrs. Rothwell, of
Everett, Mass, told me of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
willingly gave them trial and expe-
rienced relief in few days. l contin-
ued until | had taken three boxes and
was able to bend the knee and 90 up

times for other troubles and always
with good results.

Pink Pills for Pale People many times.

they were taken, excepting in the case
of two of my relatives and young
woman living in my family, each of
whom was greatly benefited. l feel
