One of the most astonishing achieve
ments of the Victoria era is the rapidity
with which news is transmitted. The
New York Herald finds, in looking over
its files of 1887, that when William ~.
died June 20) and the young Victoria
was awakened and saluted as Queen,
the news of the Kings death was
brought to this country by the packet
ship st. James, hailing from London.
and did not reach New York until forty
five days after the event. Contrast that
tedious delay with the posting of ply
sicians' bulletins and state proclama-
tons in America, Australia, and India
almost before the ink with which they
were written at Osborn or London was
dry! Even Shakspeare's Puck was
slow when he proposed to put a Cir
die round about the earth in forty
minutes" Sixty-three years from now
will our methods of transmission be
considered as slow and antiquated as
we consider those Of sixty-three years
ago?

Albert Edward comes to the throne
of England at an age when most men
consider their active lifework practic-
ally over. He faces a task calling for
every energy of brain and body and
freighted with the gravest responsible
ties. AS an offset to this, he is stout of
frame, rugged of constitution, and gem
orally in robust health. He is idolized
by the English, a fact that is accounted
for by his democratic habit of making
every man he meets his friend. His
princely bearing has been agreeably
shaded with courtesy to his interiors in
rank, and he has been active in his sup
port of deserving public charities. In
entering upon his reign he has the good
will of every subject-a condition that
lessons the difficulty of his position.
One of the penalties of royalty Is the
obliteration of private feeling. The
state demands of the new king the per-
Torrance of certain public ceremonies
with which his personal bereavement
must not be permitted to interfere. His
mourning for his mother must be OBJ
served in secret. Before his subjects
he must bear himself with cheerfulness
and dignity. 1t is a situation identical
with that of the favorite actor, who
must strut and grimace for his public.
even though his heart be breaking. In
his youth this king was a rollicking.
devil may-care prince. He had the fol-
lies Of youth and outgrew them. BY
his acts as Edward VII. will be dis
covered the exact strength and quality
of his manhood

On p. ID. Armours tombstone might
well be inscribed: 1.-THE young man
who wants TO marry happily should
pick out good mother and marry one
of her daughters-any one will do
For L. ID. Armour never said wiser
thing, and no man ever paid finer
tribute to the mothers of this country.
1t is easy to imagine the woman Ar
mour had in mind. She is a type of
the times. She is not too modern, and
there is nothing ancient about her. Her
social qualities are unquestioned, and
yet she does not live for society. She
reads and dresses and worships as her
conscience and inclination direct. In
the home is found her kingdom. By
her example she teaches her daughters
how to become good wives. The things
that she teaches are less than the
things that her girls actually learn
from her. Association as well as in
channels that lead to domestic happi-
ness. Her example is stamped on their
young lives. She is the queen of a
hame to which the mind of the husband
and parent is ever turning. Peace
abides there, and the household ma
chinery does not jar. That is the WON
an P. d. Armour was thinking of, and
what she is it is possible for her daugh-
tiers to become. The young man who
studies the mother of the woman he
wishes to marry is wise.

Chicago, March 4.-Judge Elbridge
Hanecy of the circuit court of Cook county

found her husband in the saloon and when
he refused to come out she went into the
road and gathered up all the stones she
could carry. Then she walked up to the
windows and with two throws smashed all

next attack was on the mirrors behind the
bar, and these were quickly demolished.
Bottles of whisky and other liquors met a
similar fate. Accidentally or purposely a
stone struck the proprietor on the head.

Alvord, the bank embezzler, has been

down to about ten years. Alvord's

that he will have to serve. The pun

BOER WAR IS ABOUT OVER
BRITISH NEWSPAPERS VIEW.
Rumors of the Surrender of Bothn
and Not Boer Resistance the Rea-
son-War Officials Think Differ
ent-Germany Against Plague.

London, March 4=The war in South
Africa has again reached a stage which
the British newspaper critics are pleased
to call the eve of the termination. Ru-
n'ors of the surrender of General Botha
and the collapse of all the Boer resist
ance flourish, to the great benefit of the
South African stocks.
That those who are most responsible for
carrying on the war do not share this
optimism is evident from Mr. Brodericll 5
unofficial utterances and the conversation
of his friends, including Lord Roberts.
Their carefully prepared campaign Of
thorough organization, which mas been
quietly maturing during the past six
months, is beginning to have its first re-
suits and they are practically satisfied.
The new concentration of troops referred
to so enigmatically by the correspondents
at the front is only one of the many steps
for which General Kitchener has so long
been preparing. That it will lead to the
complete disintegration of the more i'm
portant Boer units and possibly to the
personal surrender of Generals Botha and
hopes
General Kitchener is almost as reticent
toward his chiefs in Pail Mall as to the
general public. When he has taken Gen
eral Botha into his camp the war office
expects to hear of it, but not before AS
an official said to an Associated Press
representative gimly: "Armistices are
not in General Kitchener's line" The
meeting of General Kitchener and Sir
Alfred Miner at Pretoria, probably oc-
curing Sunday, is generally taken as
likely to result in the establishment of a
more permanent form of civil government
in which the services of martial law will
be somewhat tempered in several sections
of the country. But neither in London nor
in South Africa are the British officials
shutting their eyes to the fact that they
have a long job ahead of them.
