sEAgoARD AIR LINE WORK.
Efforts Being Made to Improve School
houses and Yards.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 22.-Mrs.
E. G. McCabe. general director of school
work for the Seaboard Air Line Indus
trial association, has just issued two
circular letters to the people along the
line of the Seaboard Air Line, between
Richmond and Florida. The first one
asks for the opinion of the residents
along the line as to the work and for
suggestions that will aid in beautifying
the schoolhouses. In the first letter she
explains that where schoolhouses have
been painted and renovated she will
send cards, which will induce children
to plant flowers, etc, around the build
ing.
The second letter is one of more inn
portance, and is worthy of production
for the benefit of readers along the line
of the railroad, as it contains a request
for the names of white schools along the
line of the road or within 10 miles of
the railway station.
This means much for the country
schools. where library is an unknown
quantity, and where there is always so
much room for improvement.
The day set apart for the planting of
trees at the schoolhouses along the line
of the Seaboard Air Line is set for
March 20, and will be known as Sea-
board Air Line Arbor Day. There will
also be flag day with celebration,

l'HE DEAD VICTORIA.
QUEEN AND EMPRESS.
Sketch Of a Beloved Sovereign
by George Alfred Townsend.
THE WORLDS PROGRESS DURING
A REIGN OF MORE THAN
FIFTY YEARS.
A Ruler Who Survived Every Con-
temporary of Her Coronation.
Her Gentle Domestic Nature.
The Reign Essentially One
of Peace-Summary
of Its Events.

In the pleasant month of May, its oath
day, 1919, Victoria was born and chris
tened Alexandrina Victoria. After the
fashion of princes, she was born almost
in the presence of the Dukes of Yelling
ton and Sussex, the archbishop of Can
terbury and the bishop of London, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, Mr.. Canning,
Earl Bathurst and another.
Her father, the Duke of Kent, wept for
JOY, because the line of his father, George
I'll, had been running out, and IS months
previously the only child of George "
died in childbirth, her infant never living.
Other brothers of that profigate king
were incapable of producing royal off
spring, having wasted their youth with
mistresses For the purpose of begetting
an heir Kent selected bride already a
widow and easily mother of children
by her old first husband, the Prince of
Leiningen. % years her senior.
She was 81, and in months and II
days after the second marriage ceremony
Kent espoused her also in Germany
this sister of Leopold, the widowed
prince consort. bore third child, Vic
toria.
Two other brothers of Kent married
the same summer merely to have heirs
and keep the crown. Clarence's wife
had two children who took precedence
of Victoria, but they soon died. There
was said to be faint in the Georgian
family,
But the Coburgers, raised poor and
plain, worked steadily for the thrones
else vacated by the families of wild, rich
princes. Leopold of Saxe-Coburg thus,
losing his heir, gave his sister to Kent
and married his child Victoria to his
nephew Albert, and himself received the
throne Of the Belgians. Persons curious
to know the private life of Leopold, the
William the Norman of the present
princely raceof England, can read the life
Of his mistress-wife, Katharine Bauer.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1901-01-23

Victoria was thus the grandchild of
George III, who was the son of the
Prince of Wales, but not of any king.
George III died Jan. 80, 1920, when Vic
toria was months old, and before that
date Victorias father died, so that she
had no memory of Kent. She had been
previously christened in Kensington pal
ace, London, where she was born, and
her German mothers name was also Vic
toria
Kent had married bonded for his
debts and the widow was dependent on
her brother Leopold and her brothers-in-
law George and Clarence, two unprin-
cipled men, In 1880 George ~ died
after having endeavored to worry Vic
torias respectable mother and force the
royal child into the corrupt precincts of
his court, where he had at the same time
three wives.
About three months after the birth of
Victoria her future husband was born.
Albert is teething like his little cousin, !"
wrote the keen old matchmaker, Widow
Coburg; 'the little fellow is the pendant
to his pretty cousin.
At nine years old Victoria's half sister
was married. Clarence had become king
under the title of William " and lived
till Victoria was IS years old. This man
was naval officer and had been in New
York city during the Revolution and was
the friend of both Benedict Arnold and
Lord Nelson He was neither better nor
worse than the sodden offspring of
George I'll, and having had large fam
lily by an actress, Mrs. JOrdOn, he turned
her adrift to starve after he became king
and married, hopeful of legitimate heir,
with German princess AS he was 50
years old, however, legitimate children
did not materialize, and his bastards made
so free with his palace that Victoria's
mother withheld her child from such So
ciety
One day when the slender girl of 16
was taking a state dinner with her moth
er and her future husband, Albert, at
Windsor palace, the ugly, amiable Queen
Adelaide toasted her drunken husband,
who thereupon broke into TRADE on the
the Duchess of Kent. "The Princess Vic
toria shall appear at my court, " he cried.
"It is her duty to doso." Victoria burst
into tears, but not so her sober and cool
Coburger mother, who knew that if she
watched the old man long enough his
cherry brandy would set them free.
Prince Albert was not surprised. His
own mother had separated from his ia
ther when he was years old, and AL
bert had hardly ever seen her afterward
till she died in his twelfth year. He
noted that Victoria was rather disap-
pointed in him. The next year the king
died, his surviving brother became king
of Hanover, and Victoria was the virgin
queen of England. This news was an
nounced to her at o'clock in the morn
ing by messenger from Windsor. She
received it in loose hair and shawl
thrown over her nightdress and only
slippers upon her feet.
Kept poor, she had preserved her mind
morals and habits to date when pro
fusion could not spoil her. She had been
brought up wholly in the German style
and when the ecclesiastics, cabinet, ETC.,
! came to swear allegiance to her the same

PUZZLED THE RAILROAD MEN
Two-Headed Woman Wanted to Ride
ON a Sinole Ticket

ATLANTA, Jan. 22-The question as
to what railroad fare shall be charged
a two-headed woman has arisen to agi-
tate the minds of railroad officials.
President Wickersham of the Atlanta

message from the company's agent at
Selma, Ala:
"What shall l do about fare in case
of Mile Christine, the two-headed, two
bodied woman? She claims that hith-
erto she has been travelling for one fare
Shall | charge her one or two fares2
Please rush answer.
This was puzzler for the railroad
officials, and they did not know what to
answer. After due consideration, Mr..
Joseph Higgins of the Atlanta and West
Point sent the following answer to the
agent:
IF Mile Christine is one and the
same woman charge her one fare; if
she is two women under one attire
charge her two fares. F"
The company has not received the re-
port of the agent as to how many fares
