QUEENS BODY CONVEYED
 TO THE MAINLAND
(Contlnued From First Page.)


 Then came the grenadiers, replendent in their busbies and scarlet, and quickly formed a circle around the court. The artil- lery horses were restless from their long walk and pranced under the gateway, draw ing the gun carriage with the coffin.
 A second later the King and Emperor and their suites appeared As the carriage stopped before the gangway of the Alberta loud orders rang out a sharp movement through the stalwart line of grena- diers their arms were instantly reversed up to their hats, and with equal precision came the hands of the Emperor, the King and Duke of Connaught in stately salute.
 The King was tired from the walk.
 The equerries removed the regalia, the royalties still standing at the salute, while behind him the princesses bowed their heads, visibly fatigued.
 l.. h. 0aa- coffin shone out as the soldiers grasped the handles. The young Crown Prince of Germany could scarcely keep his hand at salute for emo- ton. With perfect precision the coffin was lifted off the gun carriage on board the yacht. Once more the Grenadiers came to present" As the King followed by his relatives stepped down the gangway and the regalia and ropes were plaSDS on the coffin.
 The King then boarded a steam launch and was off to the royal yacht Victoria
 
 royalties boarded the royal yachts, and the Alberta, with her solemn burden, moved slowly away from the pier and passed the ships which lay at anchor.
 The King, Emperor William and the Duke of Connaught walked three abreast, followed by the princes They stepped slowly and mournfully, a sad-looking group in spite of the brilliancy of their uniforms.
 A Touching Spectacle.
 But for a spectacle supremely touching nothing could equal the band of mourners surrounding Queen Alexandra, the lady clothed in the deepest black, walking three by three along the shrub-lined avenue and into the public road, like the merest peas- ants at the funeral of humble relative.
 The pipers had followed the first dirge by the touching lament, 1.-The Powers of the Forest" which represents the whitening of the last and best of them As they reached the Queens gate and walled their closing strain the muffled drums rolled out with oft-recurring rhythmic beats and the massed bands burst forth into the magnifl- cence of Chopin's funeral march, or went every hat every women court sled low, the troops reversed arms and leaned their bowed heads over them, still as statues Down the hill went the sad procession through the still and silent ranks of the people. No sound but that of the mournful march could be heard. But that was echoed far away to the spectators on the neighboring hills and to the ships far out to sea.
 There have been more magnificent pa- geants than the escort of the body of Queen Victoria from the house where she

PlTlFUL CASE.
Destitute and Neglected Woman Ap-
 peaIs to Chief of Police.


 A pitiful case of suffering and dis
 tress was brought to light yesterday
 when Edith Ross, a pretty little girl of
 about twelve years of age, called at the
 office of Chief of Police c. W. Austin
 and handed him a nete from her mother
 explaining the destitute condition of
 her family, and begging that something be done for her relief. The note tells a sorrowfui story of neglect upon the part of a husband and
 it at once appealed to the chief, who
 told the child to return today, when he hoped to be able to do something for her.
 Following is a copy of the note which tells its own story:
 "February 1, 19O1.
 Chief of Police Austin: vas
 Dear Sir: I am forced to-ask your assistance. I am here in need. T have four children, and I have got nothing to eat and nothing to nave fire with. Will you assist me in getting some groceries and coal? I have neither. I ask the saloonkeepers in this town to not sell my husband no whisky or beer, but they still sell it to him. l can't get a loaf of bread on credit, so I now ask you to please help me, for am in need, An officer attached my things and sold them for rent, so now I am without cent, or coal or nothing. So please in- vestigate my case. You see, am sure in need. Oblige me greatly Dy giving
 this your immediate attention. Please
 do not neglect this"

birth and the infamy of it's parentage"
 Mir Holt of Russel followed MT. Henry, speaking briefly in support of the bill. MT. Holt comes from Girard beat, the beat in which it was charged by MT. Henry that a large proportiop/of the voting popula- tion was corruptible. He warmly resented the reflection by MT. Henry upon his con- stituents and said that MT. Henry was only mad because in the primaries he had re- ceived only 167 votes in a total of about 700 cast at the Girard box. In his argument fa- vorable to the bill, MT. Holt said that, granted Girad was not the geographical center of the county, that it was the geo. graphical center of the people.
 By vote of 35 to 2S the bill was indefln- itely postponed.

THE HOUSE.

The House was called to order this morning by Clerk Adams in the absence of Speaker Pettus, who was too unwell to at tend the session Hon. Massey Wilson of Clarke was designated as acting speaker Eighty-four members were present.
 Senate bill IA to amend sections ?, 3, 4 5, 6, S. 9, F and IA of an act entitled an act to establish a uniform system for the ex- animation and licensing of teachers of pub- lie schools, approved February 10, 1899, was taken up as unfinished business, and after the adoption of several amendments, it was passed.
 The bill makes several very important changes in the present law. First, it pro- yides for only two State examinations per year, instead of four, now provided. By Legislative act two years ago. graduates of normal colleges were given frst-grade certificates. By an act of the present Leg islature these certificates are taken from the normal graduates and for their convent ence two special examinations are provided for the present year. Provision is made for three days of examinations, instead of two, as at present, provided that no exam ination shall be begun except on the first day. Special examinations, equal in all re- spects to regular examinations, may be held in Montgomery, a fee of $5 being charged for same.

As to Examinations.

Section of the bill is amended so that the chairman of the State board may for good and substantial reasons designate some other person than the county super intendent to conduct examinations. It also provides that the seal of the envelope con- taining the questions shall be broken in the presence of the applicants for examination, and all applicants shall undergo the exam ination in the same room, or in sight of the person appointed to conduct the examina- tion.
 Section is amended as to require fee of three dollars for applicants for life cer- tiflcates. Fees from examination of teach CTS shall be paid into State treasury in- stead of to the credit of a special fund for institutes to be disbursed at the will of the superintendent.
 Section contains a very important amendment, providing that there shall be three grades of teachers certificates, be- sides the life certificate hereinafter pro- vided to be known as certificates of the first, second and third grades, each of which must show the branches in which the holder has been eamined his relative at tainments therein, and his general aver age. In no case shall an applicant for a certificate receive the same who fails to answer fifty per cent of the questions pro- pounded in any branch, and whose gener- al average is below seventy-five per cent. Every teacher in the public schools must obtain a certificate prior to his employ ment. Before pupils taking the professional course are admitted to the senior class in the State Normal Schools they shall obtain from the State board of eaminers a second grade certificate; and, before they are grad uated from said schools, they shall ob- tain first grade certificate from the State board of examiners.

 Pettus' Resolution. At the afternoon session Hon. Erie Pettus of Limestone presented the following reSO- lution. which went to the rules committee: Whereas Hon. David Bennett Hill of New York is one of the distinguished lead CTS of the Democratic party; and.
 Whereas the General Assembly of Ala hama would listen with pleasure to this famous orator and statesman upon ques- tions of interest to the Democracy and to the people, and would be glad to hear his views upon the modern tendency of the Republic; therefore
 "Re it resolved by the House, the Senate concurring, That a committee consisting of two from the House and one from the Sen ate be raised to invite Hon. David Bennett Hill of New York to address the General Assembly of Alabama at such time as the committee may deem best"

 Russell County's Court House.
 The unfinished business of yesterday was taken up, the same being the consideration of the Russell county court house removal bill, and Representative Henry was recog- nized to conclude his remarks in opposition to the measure MT. Henry had not lost his entertaining manner of speech, first known fin the House yesterday, and the members listened to his argument with that close attention that is most seldom given speaker upon the floor of the House. The members were kept constantly in applause and laughter at his eloquence and keen sarcasm Mir. Henry stated many reasons, why in his opinion, the court house should not be transferred from the centre of the county to city bordering the Georgia line. He was very severe in his criticism of his colleague for attempting to have the meas ure passed, when it had not been an issue in the campaign He said the bill was ..conceived in selfishness and born in acovetousness inheriting the shame of Its
