Queen Victoria is Dead.



OSBORNE HOUSE, Isle of Wight, JAN %
-645 p. m.-Her Majesty, the queen,
breathed her last at $50 p. m, surrounded
by her children and grandchildren.
The queen is said to have bade farewell,
in feeble monosyllable, to her family as
sembled at her bedside at midday. She first
recognized the Prince of Wales, to whom
she spoke a few words of great moment
then Emperor William, and the others pres
ent filed past and heard whispered good
by. All those in the bedroom were in tears.
All the world mourns with the British
Empire. The longest reign in British his
tory has been the most beneficent. Queen
Victoria has been noble woman as well as
a noble monarch. Hers has been royal
character as well as royal state. On this
side OF the ocean we can never forget that
she was the consistent friend of America,
when her statesmen in our hour of bitter
trial were bent on the destruction of the
republic. The Victorian age was marked
here and there by wars, but It's main char
acteriStic, its chief title to remembrance, is
its peaceful triumph of science, trade and in
dustry. Victoria lived to see her England
incomparably mightier than the England of
Elizabeth. She died the best-beloved ruler
who ever sat upon throne.

Among the bills introduced in the legisla-

bill was to take away the fees of the liquor

petition of Charles r. Hill and IS others of
WinterpOrt for the same; also resolve in fa-
vor of Cyrenus B. Downes of Winterport in
the county of Waldo with the statement of
facts accompanying.
Hill of Belfast has introduced an act to
amend Sec. 3, Chapt. 1903; Public Laws Of
1895, in regard to the Incorporate on and con-
troll OF telegraph and telephone companies.
The act strikes out the consent clause, So
called, and the section as amended will read
| as follows:
"Sec. 3-Corporatons organized under
| the provisions of this act shall have author
| lGy, CACCpG DIS u0IGlu lIllGGu, W COuSGl uCt,
maintain and operate its lines upon and
| along the route or routes and between the
points stated in its certificate of incorpOra-
tion."
Among the petitions presented to the
Maine legislature Thursday was an act put
in by Mr.. Burrill of Ellsworth to establish
the Hancock County Railway Co. l. L. Hal
man, George NJ. Warren, Myer Gallert, j. T.
Giles, w. E. Emery, A. G.. Hinckley, Henry
| w Go aruont and & n "a Witt aro no mod q q
| incorporators. The proposed route is from
| Washington Junction to Castne, through
Ellsworth, ,Surry, Bluehill, Sedgwck, Brook
| lin, BroOkSville, PenObscot, and branch
lines may be built from Ellsworth to La
moine or Trenton. The capital stock shall
| not exceed $500,0OO.
The Augusta correspondent of the Bangor
pated over the bill introduced by Hill of
Belfast asking repeal of the law passed in
1895 prohibiting the establishment by cor
poration OF any telephone or telegraph COM
pany in the State that shall parallel the lines
of any similar corporation without special
act OF the legislature and preventing their
organization under the general law unless
| they shall have first secured the consent of
any existing corporation. Ever since the
| law passed. at each succeeding session of
the legislature acts have been presented
| calling for the repeal of this particular law.
| During the last session spirited hearing
was had upon the bill introduced by Morey
Of Lewiston looking to the wiping out of
| this law The consent clause is regarded
I by the opponents of the law as the worst
feature contained in it. This session Repre-
sentative Hill has presented bill on the
same lines as the Morey bill Similar laws
applying to water works and electric light
plants were passed in 1895 and it is whispered
that attempts will be made to tinker these as
well as that relating to telephone and tele-
graph company"

the window decorations for the holidays.
lie not only decorated the branch store, but
also the principal store in Copley square,
which was pronounced by all to be one OF
most artistic decorations in the city. His
talents in this line were of an unusual or
der, and he had begun studying artistic
decoration as profession, when his sudden
death brought all to an end. On learning of
his death his father went at once to Boston
and returned with the remains Saturday

and told US who he was, and he told

people came.
You know Washington is the place
for society. 1t is the center of culture.

/ stayed home all day to receive the
ones that called on me. The other days
1 called on the others. There are such
a lot of the Washington society people
that one has to call on it takes a long
time. I had, maybe. three hundred on
the list, and we had to write down

where we had to call and check off
the ones we called on We had a car
riage to go in, of course. We could
not at first find our way anywhere on
the cars, and one should go in a car
riage, because that is the way the
Washington society does. Everywhere
we would call we would stop a little BIZ
and eat some ice cream, or drink cur
of tea, or something like that. There
was such lot to call on. and you
must eat a little bit at every house
but it must just be a taste, for one hat
to go so many places.

all the time, and receiving. 1t will bt
a quiet season in society now for {
while, but you know we go back IL

Yesterday was Mrs. Wilcoxs hrst

"The first time I had the pleasure OF
bowling my head to Mrs. Mckinley was
at the inaugural ball. She was quite
