RolALTy's FINAL FAREWELL.
Form of the D"nd Queen shut For
ever From NurtnI View.

CoweS, Isle of Wight, Jan. 26.-The
royal family yesterday took their last
owing look at the features of the dead
queen. About 10 O'Clock in the morn
ing the shell was brought into the
bedroom, where were waiting King
Edward, Emperor william. the Duke
nE Cunnaught, Sir James Reid and the
royal ladies'. The latter having re-
ired, Sir James Reid with revcrent
nands, assisted by three trusted house
hold servants and, in the presence Of
the king, the emperor and the duke,
removed the body from the bed to the
coffin. In death it was lovelier than in
the closing days of life. Not truce
nf the ravages of disease was visible.
The servants having retired, Queen
Alexandra, the princesac, and the
children were recalled, and, with lin
gering, steps and stihod sobs, they
passed slowly before this white robed
and peaceful figure At the feet. never
moving, stood til" King. and when the
mourning crowd ld passed there re-
mainod only the son uad grandson of
the dead. Emperor William wcpt even
NnbIt blllNIlN 'utu INC royal IdultS.
Finally he also retired, and the king
was left alone. Sir James Reid beck
)ning to the servants who were hold
ing the coffin lid, asked the kings in
stIuctiOns. For few seconds the
King stood spoochleSs. stricken with
emotion at the last farewell Then he
said quickly, Close ii finally 1t
aust not be opened again"
According to rumor circulating at
Osborne King Edward desires himself
70 be styled his imperial majesty, in
order to emphasize the fact that he is
emperor as well as king.
4 very remarkable feature of all the
proceedings is the intense martial air
which pervades them. The naval pa
radc off Spithead is to be the greatest,
{ possible, the world ever saw, and
the military ARRANGEMENTS at Windsor
will eclipse anything of the kind ever
attempted.

The Indian Uprising Ended.

Henrietta. |. T., Jan. 29-Chitto
Harjo, or Crazy Snake, leader Of the
warning Greeks, who is United States
prisoner here, remained sullen yester-
day and refused to confer with Lieut..
Dixon. 1t is believed however, that
the willy chief will sooner or later show
a friendly spirit, and that the result
vii! be Il prompt ending of the insur-
rectiOn. 1t is argued that Harjo and
his followers have been taught to have
greater respect for the army officer
than for deputy marshals. believing
that the soldier is more apt to treat
them fairly. This has been brought
about not by the marshals' actions, but
because deputy here and there in the
past has not acted wisely toward them.

she made tim understand that she
wished to have nice rosy cheeks like

4 happy thought struck the officer
aud he decided to fix her up. He was
possessed of some pink nail polish,
which he mixed with water and pro-
Ceeded to decorate the young lady,
much to her delight. AS soon as she
was fixed up like n painted fairy in q
show she went ashore. The next
morning the entire younger portion
Of the female villagers appeared aboard
the vessel to be painted. The mother
Of the little girl was among them and
brought two huge punches Of bananas
as presents to the officer who had SO
beautifed her daughter.
Overwhelmed with his popularity
the warrant officer did not know what
to do. The nail polish was all gone
and the officers who used rouge were
all ashore. Being a man of resources
the warrant officer made raid on the
pantry and captured all the straw
berry jam In reach. With small
brush he started to anoint the bellies
but the jam after It was applied drew
flies. In brushing away the flies the
fingers of the girls got mixed up with
the jam and they soon found that II
was sweet to the taste and liked IT,
Then with their fingers they proceeded
to remove II from their faces to their
mouths. This was too much for the
officer who seeing his artistic efforts
to please going to waste, quit his work
and passed the jam around as far as II
would go.
