Queen Victoria reigned longer than any other sovereign England ever had. and this fact alone made Queen Vic toria remarkable woman in the eyes of the world. Ascending the throne when but IS years old, she has ruled for nearly siXty-four years. Her most ardent wish in recent years. at least, has been to be at peace with the other nations. The war in the Trans vaal was at first treated lightly. but as the days and the weeks and the months rolled by and some of the best of England's sons were being killed in battle, Victoria began to fret and worry, and it is even told that she said that if the Boer war were to continue it would break her heart. During her reign many changes have taken place in the world, and with the assistance of her royal family and the ministers who formed her political household she has kept pace pretty well with the times. The men who have been the cause of the disastrous war in South Africa are the ones that have hastened the end of Queen Victoria. The queen wanted peace; they wanted war She watched her people go down to death during the past two years, ana the sight of it was more than she could bear.

JOE MURPHY'S CAREER.

Joseph Murphy has reached the goal of his ambition. He is probably the wealthiest actor on the stage to-day, and numbers among his admirers those thousands of theater-goers who enjoy the comedies redolent of old Ire land, her humor and her pathos. Jo- seph Jefferson alone rivals him in wealth.
 His struggles in early life read like a romance, and show the perseverlng spirit of this millionaire actor. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, about fifty-four years ago; and, Delng thrown upon his own resources at an early age, he went to California, se- curing employment in a Sacramento restaurant. This restaurant was burned to the ground one night and William Lawrence Murphy (his bap- tismal name), was bereft of employ ment. For three days he cast about, looking for work. The third night, i'll utter despair, he was dragging him. self along a side street, when he mo- ticed something shining in the moon light. What he thought, at first, to pc a piece of tin foil, proved to be $2o gold piece. After getting supper ana a good nights sleep, he started agaln to look for employment. While walk ing near the river bank he saw boy in boat rowing in to shore. Upon inquiry, he found that the boy was selling wild berries, for which he re- ceived $1 9 quart. He bought the boat for SIG got information as to the location Of the, berry ground. and that season cleared y7V.BucceSs.

Senator Daniel, who objected when Senator Morgan asked the unanimous consent of the senate to vote on the Nicaragua canal bill February II, says he objected because he thought the question had not been sufficiently con- sidered in it's latest phases, and from the present crowded condition of sen ate legislation he was afraid that enough time would not be allowed for debate upon the canal bill if an hour was fixed for a vote. Later Senator Morgan offered a resolution declaring that neither the Clayton-Bulw treaty nor the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, as amended by the senate, stand in the way of legislation providing for the construction of the Nicaragua canal

HEARD IN PASSING

It surprises many Americans to be told that Queen Victoria for her every day conversation spoke in German. But she was not the first English SOW ereign of whom that was true. Ger tainly for almost two hundred years every ruler of England has talked in German in preference to the English language.-Hartford Courant.
 The friends of imperialism ill the senate do not agree very closely as to when the war ins the Philippines Is likely to end. In two years, says one; l; in ten years, says another; and Sena- for Sewall says that the war may last indefinitely. which is an indefinite sort of n word. The Carson City gen. tleman who failed in business and had no assets to show, promised his cred itors that he would pay every dollar ultimately. What do you mean by intimately r asked one.

Senator Allen, just before the ill buster against the army reorganizatioh hill was abandoned, made a red-hot speech against the Mckinley policy III the Philippines, which made large army necessary-in his words: Il am opposed to this bill because it's ayoWed purpose is to provide soldiers to De sent to the Philippines" He paid hls compliments to Senator Hawley, who had denounced the petition signed by 2OOO Filipinos, presented to the sen ate by Senator Teller. as reasonable, by saving: 1.-The t1ippancy With which the terms traitor and treason are being used these days is getting to be a stench in the nostrils of some of us'' Incidentally he gave the West Pointers in the army few side swipes and expressed the opinion that the otti- cers who had never been to West Point were among the best in the ar my. Referring to the investigation now being made in W est Point by a committee of the house, MT Allen said: ':Look at this investigation going on now. This thing called hazing. Why, the prize fighter is a gentleman, the bull-baiter is a gentleman, when con- pared with the cadets at West Point. This hazing takes place within the knowledge of the officers of that in- stitution."

TO THE LOSER

So you've lost your race, lad7 Ran it clean, and fast? Beaten at the tape, lad!
 Rough? Yes, but 'tis past. Never mind the losing,-
 Think of how you ran; Smile, and shut your teeth, lad,- Take it like a man! Not the winning counts, lad, But the winning fair; Not the losing shames, lad, But the weak despair; So, when failure stuns you,
 Don't forget your pian,- Smile, and shut your teeth, lad,- Take it like a man! Diamonds turned to paste, lad! Night instead of morn! Where you'd pluck rose, lad? Oft you grasp a thorn? Time will heal the bleeding Life is but span; Smile and shut your teeth, lad,- Take it like a man: Then, when sunset conrs, lad, When your tightings through And the Silent Guest, lad,
 Fills his cup for you, Shrink not-clasp it cOOlly,-- End as you began; Smile, and close your eyes, lad.- And take it like man!

CENTURY THOUGHTS.

When you have seen year, you have seen all-the show recommenceS.
 Check up your balance sheet with life, not by the calendar but by your achievements.
 The time to make new resolutions is all the time; a new year commences with every day of our lives.
 He most lives, who thinks most, feels most, loves most. hopes most, achieves most, works most, reads most, understands most. The passing of the years is of no account chrono- logically in the history of the human soul. The child is often father of the man.
