WcToRIA's LAST DAYS.
The Queer's Health Had Been Failing
for Months.

FOR mDnFuS.
According to London correspondent,
Queen Victtria's constitution manifest
ed the first symptoms of serious decay
during the stay of the court at Windsor
in November and December, 1899. when
the evil tidings from the South African
war came in rapid succession. Gen.
Butler, before leaving, had assured the
Queen that the campaign would be ''dif-
fcult, but not dangerous" So the news
of reverses came upon her with added
severity. She never forgave Gen. Bull
Ter, and when his name was submitted
for command to visit Windsor after
his return from the - she stroked it
through with her pen.
At this time the Queen first had fits of
crying, which in an aggravated form pre-
coded her present critical illness. Her
excitement over her Irish visit seemed
to revive her, but before the visit ended
a reaction set in. The public, however,
were hoodwinked by accounts of her all

Reorganizations Cost Money.

The Interstate Commerce commission
in announcing decision last week with
reference to certain rates charged 10
Lynchburg, Danville and other cities,
made statement which must have
narrowed the feelings of the stockhold-
ers of. the old roads belonging to the
southern Railway systems. The Com
mission in its decision, which was
AGAINST the Southern Railway, asserted
that the S12O,000, 900 of common stock
in that road had never had anything
paid upon it, and finally, that 1t does
not rest in the within OF Reorganlza-
ton Committee in Wall street to inn
pose tax upon the whole Southern
country
AS the Southern Railways common
stock was issued in exchange for the
stocks of the old Richmond Terminal
system, the shares were paid for and
and very dearly at that, as any OF the
old stockholders would bear witness.
When the reorganization was effected
| it was in the darkest period OF railroad
depression and the most that was ex-
pected of the new company was to save
| the charges on the old bonds. Most OF
/ these bonds were assessed and the
stocks were all heavily taxed. The
Richmond Terminal shareholders had
| to pay $40 share and the East Tennes-
see common stockholders S7.2O pei
share. and give up 40 per cent. of thelI
stockholdings. The burden was 81
heavy and the Southern Railway com
| mon stock offered in exchange appear
ed SO valueless that many holders woulC
not nav the assessments and threw the
burden on the reorganization Commit
Il tee. -.
The rates complained of by the citi
zens of Danville may have been to-
high, but any man who has ownet
stock in a reorganized corporation vii
bear testimony that the process is
l'costly one. The common stock OF BIZ
Industrial syndicates whose constitu
emit companies were bought out at higl
prices Is frequently given away to tn
promoters, but In the case OF bank
rupt railroads the reorganized shares
however worthless they may be, hav
cost the original stockholders a grea
deal Of money.

The following artlcie 10 tahon iiol'
the Greenville Spirit;
When the attempt to provide Inc
county of Bolivar with two county
seats was canyassed, the proposition
was opposed by Chas. Scott, on the
ground of useless expense; and to the
argument that, it was very inconven-
lent and costly to the people OF the
eastern part of the county to go TO
Rosedale, he said, railroad from
that place to the main line OF the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley road would
be built within eighteen months, IRON
the time he was speaking. Mr.. Hein
ach. the banker and leader OF the anti
Scott faction, booted at the statement
and offered to bet $1,000 that Mr.
Scott's promise would not be fulfilled
The bet was taken by Messrs. Scot
and w. A. Stone, each of whom de
posited $500 in Mr.. Reinach's bank U
meet the conditions of the bet. Tit
Bolivar Democrat of the 18th tells thu
result:
There it remained until Monday last
when Mr.. Scott's statement havinI
been fully indicated, the cashier wrot'
two checks for $500 each and transfer
red them, as gracefully as he could un
lder the trying circumstances, to tn
delighted winners, who promptly re
ceived the warm congratulations Q
