LAUDS THE QUEEN.

LAUDS THE QUEEN.
Il can just see London as the great
city is today said the Englishman
who is employed in the G. H. Yards
this morning, with every public build
ing closed, Hardly a place OF business
open. all public buildings and business
houses and the majority of the homes
heavily draped in black. In so pei
cent of the homes tears of genuine sor-
row are being shed. The grief is not
from the surface but from the heart
for every Briton loved the queen. The
flags are all at half mast and trimmed
i'll black and a silence such as London
has probably never known pervades
the city.
ITO those who had the distinction OF
knowing the venerated queen. her loss
is something inexpressible. Those who
have served her have priceless treas
ures in remembering her kindness, her
announcement and benignant DISPOSE
ton to reward with more than gener-
osity the smallest personal or national
service. Often in her daily drives she
would leave her carriage to go into
the homes of even the most humble
subjects to sympathize with them and
minister to their wants. She often sent
baskets of delicacies from the palace to
the homes of the poor. Such acts have
helped to make her endeared to her
people and while life in England lasts
her memory will be cherished.
There has also been close and
friendly relationship between the
queen and her military forces, both
army and navy The British soldiers
had a deep affection Tor her and it was
reciprocated by the queen. She rsign-
ed but did not rule Her power as a
sovereign was but the shadow of that
exercised by her grandfather, George
III. a century ago. She has given the
government authority to the chosen
representatives of the people.
Her reign is associated with the
greatest advance in the worlds prog |
ress on record and she has contributed |
largely to the advancement Her in |
fiuence was felt over the entire world |
and the grief caused by her death is !
Americans mourn, and !
that being the case, can the grief of |
her own people be imagined? She was /
the wisest woman, the most generous |
ruler and the most popular sovereign |
ever known
MIR. HUDSON TO SHARE.
Joe Hudson. Eight special officer of
the S P. in this city, has received a
letter from his father, Joe Hudson, ST.,
the oil strike at Beaumont.
Mr. Hudson Sr. owns a farm of sixty
five acres which comes up within about
half a mile of the big geyser which is
causing so much excitement in that
Mr.. Hudson says that
his land has been greatly enhanced in
value, as it is considerably close to the
main we'll. 1t is indeed close consid
ering the fact hiatt the land for many
miles around Beaumont is being
bought up at fabulous figures.
Mr.. Hudson gives bis son the follow
in description of the big we'll: The
derrick up through which the oil is
spouting is 81 feet high, yet the oil is
ascending into the air more than dorI-
BILE its height. Protruding from the
ground at the bottom of the derricl,
there is pipe about three feet in
length. From this is the point of
agress of the oil geyser and the re- I
nainder of the column is if the air
without support, other than the i'm
veil.
From the mouth of the pipe the
tream of oil goes to the top of the c
lerrick in compact body, cylindrical

z immense cloud s.
The flow commenced in the morning
the 10th inst, and has been squirt o
lg out 10000 barrels of oil every a
hours since. Experts say
lat the oil is worth at least 81 a bar #
Il. hence the output amounts to $20,- in
10 day. 1t is believed that other w
ellis of the same capacity will be n
und in that vicinity, hence the ex-
