The Dead Queen.

The whole world will mourn
with England over the death of
Queen Victoria, the most highly
esteemed woman who has ever
worn crown. The demise of any
great ruler is always a momentous
event and particularly so in the in
stance where the deceased has
swayed the scepter for nearly the
span of a long life time. The
queens greatest hold on her people
was her championship of domestic
and public virtues through precept
and practice. This accounts in q
great measure for the close affection
in which she has been held by her
subjects. Her goodness really ly made
her supreme in the hearts of her
people. 1t is to be hoped that Ed
ward VII will sustain that respect
and admiration which she has re-
ceived on account of her many rare
and Incompatible qualities as
conservative ruler.

Girls Should Not Send Valentines

at is a woman's privilege to be court
ed" writes Margaret Z, Sangster in the
February Ladies' Home Journal. There
fore the man sends the valentine, not the
girl. Thoughtless and silly girls some
times overlook this fact that they are 10
be sought and never do the seeking, and
an old observer sees with pain that they
employ little arts to attract the other sex /;
that, save the mark, they behave, here
and there, as if everything they could do
should be done TO gain the approving
notice Of the opposite sex. This creates
a false position and is always cheapening
to a girl, not only in the eyes of others,
but also in time, when the awakening
comes, it is degrading to her self-respect."

FIOrida's New Representative.

Governor Jennings has mention
ed the fact to the people of Florida,
both in his addresses during the
last campaign, and also in his in
augural address, that while the
population of the state has quad
rupled, her judges remain the same
in number; he might have said,
too, adds the Times Union and
Citizen, that the business has been
multiplied by twenty as reproof
to those who find fault with the in
efficiency of our congested courts.
In the same measure our interest
in national affairs has increased,
while the number of our represen-
tatiVes in Washington remained
the same-the interests of Florida,
with her extended seacoast and
peninsular position, are now those
of the nation driven by necessity
to reach out after an expanded
trade, and additional points ofcOn-
tact with those who make the COM
merce Of the world.
Therefore, it is of more than To-
cal importance that We are given

Masters Of Men.

The Saturday Evening Post announces
for early publication twelve-part serial
story of love and adventure by Morgan
Robertson. Masters of Men" is pow
erful tale of the new navy.
The central figures in the story are a
rich orphan, who has entered the navy
as an apprentice, and young ensign,
fresh from the Naval academy. The au-
thor leads his two heroes through a maze
of adventures by land and sea.
This romance may fairly be called the
best work of the best writer of sea stories
IN the country.

Ex-senator HIII's Invitation.

As yet Ex-senator Hill has not
replied to the invitation of the
Texas legislature to visit that state
and give an address on the politi-
cal issues of the day. There are
probably some doubts as to wheth-
er he will accept the invitation,
and even his most intimate friends
are not informed as to that.
Probably the ex-senator realizes
the fact that an acceptance of this
invitation would be regarded as
the initiatory step in the campaign
of four years hence for the presi-
Dental nomination of his party.
Consequently whatever he might
say would be liable to criticism
from that standpoint. And it may
be that he has hardly decided that
the time is at hand for him to be
regarded as a presidential candi-
date. 1t probably would be better
to wait for a year or two and allow
the differences in the Democratic
party to adjust themselves before
taking any step that would draw
public attention to him as a presi-
Dental candidate.
The Texas legislature has proba-
bly, made a mistake in extending
an invitation to both Mr.. Hill and
Mr.. Bryan in the same resolution.
To a man up aftree it looks as
though the friends of Mr.. Bryan
were afraid to have the ex-senator
visit the state and address the peo-
pie unless Mr.. Bryan was close at
hand to counteract any influences
that Mr.. Hills views might exert.
Neither is it at all probable that
the views Mr.. Hill might express
would be in harmony with those of
Mr.. Bryan, consequently when the
time for future action comes up it
would be difficult for these men to
agree upon a platform that would
be acceptable all around. Mr.. Hill
would undoubtedly like to be the
nominee for 1904, but he can be
relied upon to do nothing that is
likely to strengthen the spirit OF
factionalism, and his friends say
that he will not be in the way Of
any man who wants the nOmina.
tion if it appears that there are
other candidates who can show q
better chance of winning. There
fore, we do not look for Mr.. Hill tC
accept the invitation extended tC
him by the Texas Legislature. That
body has acted little premature
ly and in that light it will be re
garded by those who are best post
ed as to the affairs of the Demo
cratic party.

JERSEY justice" is sometimes
spoken of in "a disparaging manner;
but it moved swiftly and truly in
the Bosschieter case in Paterson.
In less than a week the perpetra-
tors of one of the foulest crimes in
the annals of the state had been
tried and convicted, nOtwithstand-
ing they were young white men
with influential friends and solid
financial backing, while their vic
tim was poor mill girl. The
evidence against the prisoners was
clear, and they were promptly
found guilty. 1t is impossible to
pass over the case without contrast
ing it with the progress of justice
in an adjoining state, New York.
In the latter it frequently takes
weeks to get ajury, months TO con-
clude the case, and years to reach
a final adjudication of it. The
Molineux affair is a case in point.

A $350,000 BLAZE
In the Sturtevant Blower
Works at Jamaica Plain.
Waterman Obliged to Run for His
Life from the Flames.
Building viii Be RapIaced--700 Men Ter
posarily Out Of Work.

Boston. April 1.-THE main building
Of the extensive blower works of the Il.
+. Sturtevant Co, off Green street,
Jamaica Plain, was burned. early this
morning, causing loss of $35O.0O0; full
~ insured. The concern manufactured
vaciOus kinds of machinery and cleo
trical goods as well as blowers and the
plant was splendidly equipped and
very valuable one. One new planer that
had not been set up was valued at
$500 and this was fair sample of the
machines that were destroyed.
In the rear of the building burned
was the big stable containing % horses.
This was in danger for long time, but
the horses We're removed and the
building was finally saved. The boiler
and engine room and the pipe shop and
foundry were also saved.
The fire is supposed to have started
on TIE third floor of the main structure,
known as the electrical department,
next to the engine room. and the
Waterman who discovered il had to run
for his life. so rapidly did the flames
make their way through the building.
BY the time the first stream was
played upon the fire. the whole build
ing was filled with flame and smoke
and it was only after several hours
work by the large force called to the
scene by four alarms. that the fire was
1t last gotten under control, it having
literally burned itself out. All patterns
and plans We're destroyed.
The company had recently added
$4,000 worth of tools and machinery,
and had 4 large amount of electrical
work ready for shipment. 1t also had
4 large number of engines and glowers
for the government for use on battle
ships and cruisers, in course of con-
struction. all Of which We're destroyed
Supt. Chamberlain states that the re-
sources of the company are such that
the business can be carried on without
much interruption and that a new set
of buildings will probably be erected
soon to replace the one destroyed. Over
100 men will be temporarily thrown out
of employment

already of distinguished performance
and of even more brilliant promise,
who had brought with him letter of
commendation from Longfellow. He
was painfully shy and absentminded

Tea and Theme,

Theme is known to most people as
the active principle of tea or that sub
stance which confers upon the cup its
cheering and stimulating properties.
Caffeine is the analogous principle of
coffee, although this latter substance
also occurs in tea. Some investlga-
tions into the development of theme
shows that it is in the skin or covering
of the leaves of tie plant in their
young state that the active principle is
best developed. | have always been
given to understand that the young
shoots thus amply provided with
theme and representing the finest of
the crop are sent to Russia, where
they fetch high price.
What we get in England is presuma-
bly, the older leaf, with, should say,
less theme and a deal more tannin.
1t would be interesting TO know what
proportions of theme and tannin ex-
list in some of the cheap teas that are
so largely consumed by the British
public. Theme itself Is nerve stimu-
liant of undoubted power. but the guam
fity we get in our cups is, of course. in
finitesimal. Sometimes. | should say,
1t is so microscopic in amount as to
render it doubtful whether we can be
eheered at all by the tea tray festivi-
ties.-London Chronicle.
