The "St. James Gazette" publishes some
curious statistical notes relative to the
Queen, says d London dispatch in the
New York Herald It says that the
Queen has. a library of 100000 volumes, and
that Mrs. Olphant was the most intimate
personal friend of the Queen among nov
elists. Her Majesty, 1t declares, always
read Mrs. Ohphant's books with enjoy
ment.
Among English writers the Queen $
favorite poets were Shakespeare, Walter
Scott, Tennyson and Adelaide Proctor To
hymns by Bonar and Faber she was espe-
cially attached. Her favorite novelists
are all women-Jane Austen, Charlotte
Bronte, Mrs. Oiphant, Mrs. Craik, George
Eliot and Edna Lyall.
With German literature the Queen was
also familiar, her favorite writer's being
Schiller, Goethe and Heine In the litera-
ture Of France it is natural to find that
writers of memoirs, in which that coun-
try is So peculiarly rich, have a conspicu-
Gus place, and to the charm of surly
Saint-Simon the Queen was keenly alive.
Among French poets and dramatists the
Queens favorites were Racine, Corneille
and Lamartine.

The Republican factional fight for

the distinction of being the only repre-

senting seventy-fve per cent of the

standing in his favor. Notwithstand-
ing that Congressman Ball owes his
election to the Union Republican vote
on a compromise ticket, he has turned
his back on the majority and recon-
mends appointments entirely from the
Regulars" President Roosevelt is
of coursef anxious for the factions to
get together, and the case is hopeless

likely that President Roosevelt will

Ex-Congressman Jonathan S. Willis
is evidently in politics, not so much
for the love of it as for what he can get
out of it. The Milford Chronicle, one
of his own town papers, speaks of him
as follows.
"The Rev. J. S. Willis wants some
thing else He first wanted to be a
Congressman at $4,000 per year and a
private secretary and the Union Repub-
licans gave him that. Next he aspired
to be United States Minister to Guata-
mala, at a salary of $4,000 a year
with travelling expenses and private
secretary at a good salary; but Presi-
dent Mckinley could not be induced
to believe that his abilities rated that
high, and left him at home. The milk
in the Union Republican cocoanut, so
far as Federal patronage went, was
run out, so Mr.. Willis took new turn
and Topped to the "bolters," who
threw a bone in his way hoping to draw
others with him, by giving him the
supervisorship of the census for Della
ware at salary of 900. This was
a great fall in price, but some of the
Regulars" say even now that it was
big money to pay for so little result;
but the last thing Mr.. Willis is asking
for is the supervision of the rural mail
delivery in Delaware. 1t will pay
something, and like Kipling's plea for
Tommy Atkins" it is "Pay, Pay Pay.

STANDING at the Triumphal Bridge
at midnight Saturday John G. Milburn
pressed an electric button which ex-
tinguished the lights at the Pan-Amer-
lean Exposition. Bands played and
thousands cheered as the lights faded
to red glow and then to darkness.
Around Mr.. Milburn were the men
and women who, as managers. lnves-
tors and employees, had worked for the
success of the fair, only to have it re-
suit in loss of over $4,000,000. The
total attendance, exclusive of Farewell
Day, was S,179,6S4, which included
passes. How far this fell below the
expectations of the exposition prOmOt-
ers, may be judged from the fact that
the exposition paid premiums on
blanket accident policy on 100000
wagers were made that the attendance
would exceed 16, ,OOO,O and others
that it would exceed 25, 900, 900 and 30,
100000.
The stockholders sustain a complete
loss. The holders of $500, 900 second
mortgage bonds will get no returns.
The holders of the first mortgage
bonds will recover 80 per cent of their
money. Contractors who put up the
buildings will lose 81 900, 900 because
the fair has no assets to pay their
claims. Concession holders lost money
with two or three exceptions, and sew
eral>o them were ruined. The not
= bile money maker was the cyclorama
of the Johnstown food, despised and
scorned by investors, which closed the
season 81, 900, 900 to the good.

who went over Niagara Falls in bar

WASHINGTON, d. c., October 10
George A. Raymond, an American, and
formerly private in the Forty-first
Volunteer infantry, was tried by mill
tary commission in the Philippines a
while ago on a triple charge of murder,
rape and robbery and sentenced TO be
hanged. The records in this case OF
unusual depravity have just been re-
ceived at the War Department. Upon
the muster out Of the Forty-first, Ray
mond went to the province of Pam
panga and endeavored to organize a
band Of outlaws among his ex-com-
rades. On the It'll OF last May, while
ne was riding along road near the
Barrio of San Jose, with Henry Bohn,
who had also been a private In the
Forty-hrst infantry, and with whom he
assumed to be on friendly relations.
Raymond treacherously turned on his
companion and killed him with his re-
volver and then emptied the dead
mans pockets. Two days afterward.
in company with UIrich +. Rodgers
and George MUM, ex-privates of the
Forty-frst, Raymond, CARRIED in the
uniform of United States army OFF,
Ger, entered the premises of peaceful
native and robbed him of saddles and
brides and three horses. On the night
of May 9th Raymond forced his way
into the home of respectable native
girl and assaulted her.
In reviewing this case and APPROX
ing the sentence of death. Gen. Chaffee
said:
THE depravity and dangerous Grim
inal propensities Of the accused, in
volving in the short space of three days
the robbery of a helpless native, the
licentious violation of a respectable
girl, and the treacherous assassination
of comrade from motives of pure
RIGHTEOUSNESS can call for but one tit
ting penalty" ~
