THE QUEENS WILL.
Has Been Opened But Will Never
 Be Made Public.
Disposition of Her InsmenSe Estate Chn Only Re Guessed At-ThoaSht Princess Beatrice Will Be
 Principal Beneficiary.

Queen Victoria's will has been opened and examined by the duly constituted authorities, but nothing will ever be made public officially as to the provi- sions of the instrument or the amount of her private fortune.
 It is known that the queen made will early in her reign, which was re- peatedly altered and added to as chil- dren and grandchildren were born, and as her estates rapidly advanced in value. This proceeded until 1896, when her majesty decided to have an entirely new document drawn, and with great personal care this was accomplished.
 Those in a position to make any sort of a guess as to the provisions of the queens will declare that Princess Beat rice, widow of Prince Henry of Batten- berg will be the principal beneficiary. She is the governor of the Isle of Wight, and will probably inherit Osborne house and the whole estate surround ing it. Then the duke of Connaught. and his sons, who have been great fa- vorites with Victoria, will receive large portion of the fortune. The duke will probably become the owner of Bal moral and the Scottish property.
 The grandchildren who are expected to receive the largest bequests are the two children of victoria's youngest son, the former duke of Albany.
 The queens second daughter, Princess Christian of Schleswig Ho.- stein. is not rich, and it is expected that she and her four children will be liber- ally provided for.
 Edward VII, who will be amply pro- vided for by the country, and the duke of York, who comes into the duchy of Cornwall, and will be the prince of Wales, will probably not be sharers in the late queens private fortune.

 Child.

Mary Gair, aged five years. died at Williamsport. Pa, the other day under peculiar circumstances. During the past two weeks the child has been suf- fering with eczema, which developed into hemorrhage of the skin--virtual- ly sweating blood.
 In the usual cases of eczema the pa- tient weeps watery substance from the skin and seldom does death occur. In this case the weeping was of blood. The little one bed for an hour and a half and then became so exhausted that dissolution occurred. The attend ing physicians say the case is a rarity and no reference can be found to it in the medical books.

INVITATION ON SOLID GoLDl
San Francisco Knight ts Templars Ask President Mckinley to Meet
 with Then.

Capt. A. J. Humphrey visited the ex- ecutive mansion, Washington, the other day as the special envoy of California commandery No. 1, Knights Templars of San Francisco to personally present to President Mckinley an invitation from the commandery to meet with it upon his visit to the Pacific coast the coming spring.
 The card of invitation which he hand ed to Sir Knight Mckinley rivals in splendor anything of the kind that was ever presented to a president. It is a solid gold plate 3h by 5H inches and about one-eighth of an inch in thick ness. In the upper right-hand corner is an enameled maltese cross. with the usual insignia of the order, having in the center diamond of about one carat weight. The "card" is beautifully en- graved.

AN OLD SOLDIER
Has a Good, Hearty GrOwl, but says
Some Pertinent Things.

Don't you think that you are vast
ing time i'm fighting for the old soldier
as you do, when he hasn't sense enough
to fight for himself? Why, the aver
age old soldier hasn't as much sense
as the average old mule. You may
catch the old mule the second or third
time with an empty bucket, but try 1t
on after that and see him shake his
head and kick up his heels and give
you a run for it. But the dear old
soldier comes up smiling right along,
empty bucket or no bucket, year after
year. He has been the political pack
mule for his political masters so long
that it's his second nature. The poor
fool don't know any better. So afraid
that Cleveland might be reelected and
perhaps do what Comrades Harrison
and Mckinley failed to do-reinstate
them. How they do love TO damn
Cleveland for turning some of them
out. How about Comrades Harrison
and Mckinley, who approved CleVe-
lands actions by not reinstating them.
Why they should blame Cleveland
when Comrade Harrison's Administra-
tion set the precedent that the old sol
der was not wanted, when his Secre-
tary Of War sent the names of old sol
diers back to the Civil Service Com
mission with a letter stating that he
did not want any old soldier; that he
wanted younger blood Now, if the
old soldier was too old to do clerical
duty, the Secretary Of War was too
old to be Secretary of War; Harrison
was too old to be President the whole
Administration was too old to run
things. Will any old soldier please
inform me how many old soldiers
were appointed in the War Department
since that time The same in the Post
Office Department, under the sainted
Wanamaker. The old soldier had out
lived his usefulness. Between the old
soldier and the old woman he pre-
ferred the cid woman, and would take
his hat off to no soldier organization,
etc. and in the Interior Department,
where they didn't care a d for the
law that gave the old soldier the pre-
ference, provided he happened to be
a Democrat, and so all along the line.
But / presume it's about as well that
you look after their interests, as the
poor old devil hasn't sense enough to
look after his own and have some good
old Democratic comrade to look after
them for him. Hoping that you sue
ceed, | remain y

well, the engineer trusts too much

A PECULIAR BUSINESS
In Which Young Girls are Victims
of Shrewd RaScalS.

Recently advertisements appeared in
the newspapers of a New England
town guaranteeing the girls of a GER
tain education and refinement a sure
income in New York as canvassers for
a book. A party of these girls arrived
in that city and went to a boarding
house, where they found a woman who
had been placed there in charge Of
them. The establishment was an or
binary boarding house, in which the
firm had engaged accommodations for
the women. They found themselves
assigned to a certain territory in the
city and were directed to make
house-to-house canvass, see everybody
living within that region and get as
many subscriptions as they could. The
woman manager living in their house
paid their board and lodging and de-
Quoted from the commissions they
made the amount she had paid out for
them. This seemed we'll enough until
some Of the girls found that, work as
they might, it was impossible for them
to earn enough to pay out of their
commission the money advanced to
them to come to New York as well as
their board. But the unfortunate
agent is not allowed to depart until
she pays all the expenses involved in
her trip to New York. She is allowed
to go home but is compelled to leave
her trunks or whatever jewelry she
has to compensate the manager for
the amount of her outlay. There is,
of course, no legal ground on which
this could be done, as the baggage is
her baggage; there is no lien on it for
the advances, and there is no under
standing of that kind. One unfortu-
nate who worked a month with so little
success that she was disheartened and
wanted to get away, and paWned her
watch. She then discovered that her
trunk was held for a board bill of $50.
She was allowed to leave after she had
taken the watch out of pawn and given
it to the woman manager as security.
A party of four who found themselves
practically prisoners two weeks ago,
were lucky enough to have some ac,
quaintances with a lawyer who saw

FALLING CEILINGS
Remedy Suggested for this and
Other AnnOyanceS to Tenants.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 7, 1901.
EDITOR SUNDAY GLOBE:
My attention was forcibly attracted
a few weeks ago to the general inse-
cure condition of the ceilings in
houses. My own ceiling fell, also sew
eIal in the neighborhood. This is the
second time within six months that
escaped by a miracle (some would call
it luck) from being crippled or killed
By part of the ceiling suddenly coming
down. In both cases my landlord re-
fused to pay for damages or even pay
for the time it took to clean up, This
Is proof once more that tenants in
this city have only the right to pay or
move. In fact, tenants in the capital
of tie United States have no protection
in law whatever, against injury or
damage sustained in rented houses.
As a part remedy against existing in.
Justice to tenants, | would respectfully
ask the Inspector of Buildings to have
the ceilings Of houses examined from
month to month, for the reason that
the landlord does not do 1t, The ten
ant is not supposed to know when the
ceiling Is safe or dangerous.
Fer the benefit OF tenants, | would
suggest that an ordinance be enacted
by our honorable Commissioners that
where a landlord refuses to have a
cracked ceiling repaired, that he pay a
fine of not less than $5 for the first Of.
fense, and if not attended to within
three days from official notice thereof
a l.1 g,,, oil Of nf
tn Commissioners.
This proposed ordinance would oper-
ate benefcially in two ways-protect
the tenants against injury and loss,
and increase the funds in the District
treasury. In point of law, | wish to
ask you the following:
Q. What is tenant?
A. 4 customer who pays for the priv
ilegc Of occupying space.
Q. What is the occupant of a street
car or other public conveyance?
A. Also a customer, who pays for
the privilege of occupying space.
Now, then, the tenant who is injured
or damaged by the ceiling in his house
falling has no protection in law, where
as the tenant of a car or other public
conveyance, should the ceiling of con-
veyance for which he has paid, fall
and he be injured thereby the law sus-
tains in a suit FOR damages.
Why should not the landlord have
the same right to pay for injury and
damage sustained by his tenant while
occupying space?
Where I'm both cases cited above, the
causes OF injury are the action Of ele-
ments under human control, always
excepting earthquakes, lightning, wind,
or rain causing inundation which can
not be controlled by human means.
Since most Of us are in the same
boat, / hope our honorable Commits
sioners will give their strict attention
to stated facts,
Yours truly

Government Employees Should be

EDITOR GLOBE:
DEAR SIR: / would like you to en-
tighten me through the columns Of
your most valuable paper whether it is
lawful for a Government employe to
accept another position on the outside,
thereby throwing otheT people out Of
work who depend solely on that class
of work for a livelihood. If so, there
is a case that would bear investiga.
tion. There are two Government EN-.
ployes, namely William Crown, work.
ing i'm the Navy Yard, and Edward
Darnelle employed as a letter carrier
at the postofIice, who play in the or.
chestra at the Columbia Pleasure Park
at Chesapeake Junction. Crown is the
leader Of the orchestra and Darnelle Is
drummer, The position formerly paid
81 per night and car fare until Mr..
Crown heard of the job, and knowing
he had a good job I'm the Government,
paying him a fat salary, offered to fur.
nish men (whose regulations as mu.
sicians is very doubtful) for $3.50 per
night to play longer hours. Hoping
you will give this matter space in the
columns of your worthy paper, | re-.

MACHEN'S SWORN TESTIMONY.
A Correspondent Wants to Know
Something.
EDITOR SUNDAY GLOBE:

The general superintendent Of the
free delivery system, Mr.. A. w. Mach
en-, stated in his sworn testimony be-
fore the Senate Committee on Civil
Service and Retrenchment, that the U.
S. Civil Service Commission held an
investigation and recommended to
Postmastsr-General Wilson the re-
moval Of Mr., Bellman. The readers Of
The Globe are interested in that inves-
tigatiOn. They would like to read the
evidence upon which the Commission
based its action in recommending the
removal from the service of Mr.. Mach
ems brother-in-law. The Globe ought
to get the evidence in that case and
publish it, The "affidavits" and other
evidence are public property, and the
people are entitled to know, and ought
to know, the way and method in which
the civil service law has been executed
in the Departments at Washington.
1t would be very interesting to learn
how it happened that Mr. Bellman was
made the unsuspecting scapegoat while
others, higher in official service and
equally culpable, escaped without a
scratch. 1t would be interesting to
know how that investigation was con-
Quoted, and what officials in the Post
Office Department were present at the
trial According to Mr.. Machens state
ment, all the papers and evidence in
the case are on file in the office Of the
Attorney-General Mr.. Machen could
not have any serious objection to it's
publication, inasmuch as he is a highly
hJnored official in the PostoGce De-
partment at the present time.
No matter what the Department
News may print about the wisdom Of
Thomas Jefferson a century ago, or the
editors own opinion of "wilted cab
bage leaves "conspiracies, "all sorts
Of outrages," and lying now, or lying
then Get the record of that investi-
cation by the Civil Service COmmis-
sion, Mr. Editor, if you can, and pub.
lish it, In that way the real prevari-
Gator will be smoked out and unfrock-
ed. It's publication would also afford
the National Civil Service League an
opportunity to stalk some big game, as
infractions Of the law relating to polit.
ical assessments are not barred by time
limitation.
GooDENOUGH.
Mr., Goodenough is Informed, and
others interested, that The Globe has
the liveliest hopes of being placed in
possession of a copy of the said jnyes-
tigation the present week, and that we
will take the extreme pleasure Of repro
ducing it in these columns UerJdtim ct
Nterdtim. We have not overlooked its
importance, nor other things connected
with Mr.. Machen's maladministration
For instance, we have been aware
that the coal firm of Machen Brothers
had the contract for supplying the
postoffice with coal, and also that Mr.
Machen, or rather Abner Mckinley,
had appointed a Mrs Mathews to a
clerkship in the free delivery, Mrs
Mathews being only a sisterin-law of
Abner Mckinley, the brother Of the

WILL OF F. S. PHILIPS STANDS
JUSTICE DIsMISSES BROTHERS SUIT. BUT
SAYS HE OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN
PROVIDED FOR.

Justice O'Gorman yesterday dismissed the action
brought by James Ralph Philips against Mrs
Martha Bagg Philips and Mrs. Grace McGregor
Philips to have the will of his brother, Fleming
Stanhope Philips. declared void. Mrs Martha
Bagg Philips is the widow and executrix of the
testator who left estate of 100000 to her. Mrs
Grace McGregor Philips is a former wife of the
testator, but he secured an annulment Of his mar
rage to her in New-Jersey eighteen years ago. 1t
was alleged by James Ralph Philps's counsel that
this decree illegal, Fleming Stanhope
Philips not a resident of New-Jersey, and be-
cause the decree was secured by fraud and col
luson.
1t was asserted in behalf of the PLAINTIFF that the
decedent was paretic, and that he was also in
account of his use OF morphine and strych-
nine in his last illness. He died from cancer last
January.
Justice O'Gorman held that the evidence sub
mitted by the plaintiff did not warrant him in
allowing the case to go to the jury: He said he
thought the plaintiff ought to have been provided
for by the decedent and therefore refused ap-
pIication for an extra allowance. The plaintiff
called his brother when he was dying. but
not permitted to see him.
