1t has just leaked out that the members
OF the Delaware Legislature have been the
recipients of large quantities of liquors
and beer. from brewers and dealers.
which they had stored in one of the com
mittee rooms in the Capitol. 1t was hoped
by the members to keep the matter a
secret, and thus enjoy prolonged revelry
in choice beverages at the expense of the
liquor interests, which no doubt had fav-
ors to ask of them; but the mistake was
made Of storing the stuff in the room of
clerk who is a church member When he
found his room full of whisky. brandy
and beer ne turned the key over to the
Speaker, and told him that while he liked
TO be a clerk he did not propose to run a
legislative ,grog shop. The exposure ere
ated a sensation.

For about all practical purposes the
Earl of Hopetoun has become the first
king of a country only half a million
square miles smaller than the United
states and having a population less than
half million smaller than that of the
Dominion of Canada. He will appoint the
cabinet, cal and prorogue parliament and
sign or veto bills, drawing therefor a
salary OF $4,000 year They are highly
independent and democratic out in Aus
tralia, but luckily the Earl of Hope oun

nine years ago, as result, it is thought,
of pilgrimage undertaken by her and

THE MAYORS ANNUAL REPORT.


A statement in the annual report of the
Mayor that has likely arrested the atten-
ton of the people of this city is that
the house drainage system is nearing COM
pietion and that when ID is completed it
will be possible to reduce the rate of
taxation. House drainage work has cost
very considerable amount of money
every year since 1t was begun. 1t will
be completed this year. Next year, there
fore, there ought to be a very considera-
Bile reduction in the tax rate.
But will there be? Whether there is or
not will depend upon the board of alder
men. 1t is possible to SO increase the cost
of the municipal government that as
much money as is collected now, and even
more, will be required for expenses. It
IL fact that expenses are increasing
about every year. The number of SAL
aired officials steadily grows larger.
The great problem of the twentieth GEN.
fury is that of municipal government. Al
this very time New York is all stirred up
over the enormous increase in the ex-
penses OF that city, and Philadelphia has
special committee of it's foremost citl-
zens trying to find out il there is not
some way in which the increase in its
municipal expenses can be checked.
1t is only by adopting policy of keeping
expenses within certain limits that the
rate of taxation in this or any other
city can be kept down,
Another thing in this connection is point
ell out by the Mayor in his report. t
is that steps should be taken at once 10
have the houses connected with the new
drainage system. The Council should bs
firm in this matter. otherwise it will not
be possible to get the new system in work.

lions householders will delay making con-

The family of Queen Victoria is an ex-
ceptionslly large and powerful one. She
has had not less than eighty-three chill
dren, grandchildren and great-grand-
children. Seventy-one of these survive
her. Two of her descendants are now
upon the thrones of Great Britain and
Germany, and in time, in all likelihood
another descendant will be upon the
throne of Russia, since the wife of the
Gar is her granddaughter. mo other
royal family says recent writer, has
ever held within its circle so many crowns
and scepters."

And he had to do it.

The tradition that 1.-THE Queen never
smiles" is old in England. The hundreds
of photographs of Victoria sold in ali
parts of the world invariably show the
one expression, but nevertheless, the
Queen did smile. A number of years ago
Charles Knight, a photographer at New
port Isle of Wight, secured a likeness of
her which shows her not merely smiling,
but broadly laughing.
How did DIT happen that such a likeness
was obtained? In this way: The Queen
was visiting Newport. The Mayor of the
city was presenting in verbose and
fulsome speech a magnificent bouquet. He
had carefully committed the speech to
memory, but in his anxiety to make
favorable impression with his courtly
manners, his pomp and splendor of roy al
velvet and fur-trimmed robe. medals,
cooked hat and cable chains of gold, ne
lost his place"
After some stammering and suffering
he suddenly shouted, I've forgotten the
rest" and stood gazing at the Queen like
a stupid schoolboy on visitors day Then
the Queen laughed outright and the flus-
tered and heart-broken Mayor dropped the
bouquet and fed. While the Queen was
laughing Knight, the photographer, took
the picture.

The Princess Royal, when child, aud
the Prince of Wales, too, needed the curb
occasionally. Once the Princess at a mil
itary review was coquetting with some
officers of the escort and took no notice
of warning looks by the Queen. Finally
she dangled her handkerchief over the
side of the carriage and dropped it inten-
tionally. There was a rush of young Off
GERS to pick it up. but the Queen babe
them desist, and, turning to the Prin
cess, said in stern voice.
Now, pick up your handkerchief your
self"
There was no help for it. The young
Princess, with flaming cheeks and a saucy
toss of her head, did as she was told.

AS a matchmaker Queen Victorias ac-
tivities have been ceaseless. No sooner
was one princess provided with a hus-
band than search was again begun over
the rising generations of European royal
ties for suitable husband or a wife, as
the case may be.
But the Queen has not only provided
husbands for her daughters and grand
daughters and wives for her sons and
grandsons. She has seen to il that they
were the right kind of husbands and wives
that is, from royal standpoint Power
was grasped wherever seen. Then came
dignity and wealth without the power, and
sovereigns of no political importance were
caught in the web of the English net
The Queen may be justly styled the
mother of Kings 1t is true that these
Kings differ and so much in degree that
rigid rules of precedence and etiquette
are necessary to differentiate them. They
range all the way from the Emperor of
Germany, who is a star of the first mag
nitude, to the Prince of Roumania. who
is an Insignificant member of the mon
archtcal armament. Still, they wear a
crown, and theoretically rank among the
highest
In considering the spread of English in
huence this factor ought not to be lost
sight ot-that the leading royal families
of Europe are directly connected with the
English house and that every princelet
and Princess sent out to rule or be a
consort carries English ideas to new fields
of conquest.

The Queen always made it point to
keep the religious instruction of her chill
dren as much as possible in her own
hands good story illustrative of this
is told 10 the effect that once. when the
Archdeacon of London was catechising
the young Princes, he said:
Your governess deserves great credit
for instructing you so thoroughly"
At which the youngsters piped up:
ooh, but it's mamma teaches us our
catechism.'
1t is not perhaps generally known that
the Queen occasionally taught a Bible
cass for the children of those in attend
ance at Buckingham Palace.

stOrie. Of the Late aueen.

There are two we'll authenticated anec-
dotes of the Queens childhood and youth
which are very characteristic Of her The
one story is given by Bishop WiEberforce
on the authority of her former tutor
Davys, Bishop of Peterborough.
The child had, child-like been trihing
over her lessons, which she was saying

entered the room, and asked how the pu-
pill was behaving.
She was little troublesome once"

The other story is told by Baroness
Lehzen when she describes the means
which were taken to enlighten the care

twelfth year as to the degree of nearness
in which she stood to the throne
The scene was the sunny upper room
used for the Princess school room, hav-
ing the Pleasant prospect over the open

cess Victoria discovered the genealogical
paper which had been purposely slipped
into her book of history and expressed
her surprise at finding the table there,
and was told that it had been judged time
she should study it.
Then with wide open blue eyes she took
in the meaning, and said eagerly what she
thought. The next words were the sim

MAN KNOCKED OUT
Or. Butterfieid ana Jake OrndOrf Get
Into Scrap.

Into z Scrap.
a row occurred last night at Stones
livery barn, in which one man was near
~ knocked out. 1t seems that a man
named Orndorf, a gardner northwest OF
the city, had left his horse standing tied
to a telegraph pole from yesterday morn
ing at II o'clock until last night about
1890 when Officer a. NJ Sutton took the
horse and buggy to Stones barn, in
the animal until the owner should call
for it. When the owner turned up late
last night he found that the horse was in
the barn, and, according to the statement
of the man in charge Of the barn, Orndorf
did not want to pay the price charged for
the keeping of the horse. After some
talk and argument. it Is said that DR..
Butteheld attempted to take the horse
in spite Of the livery mans protest, and
the livery man started after Butterfield
with a piece of a buggy shaft and struck
him over the head. knocking him down
twice. It is alleged that Buttefield's head
was badly damaged and judging from
the amount of blood which flowed. the
wound must be a severe one. He was
taken at once to a physician, who dressed
the wound. Later in the evening, DR.. But
terrified and Orndorf returned and Orn-
dorf called Officer A. NJ. Sutton to one
side saying that he wanted to speak
with him. After several moments of
conversation it seems that Orndorf want
ed 70 bluff Sutton and the policeman
would not take any bluff, consequently
took Mr.. Ondorf to the city jail. After
this. Ed Sexton demanded the horse from
the livery man, but the man refused to
omen the barn door.
