and the case was a bad one. But Queen
Alexandra went to the hospital every
day for a week, until the child was out
of danger, bringing her rose each
time. 1t is also pleasing to record that
the welfare of both the girl and her
mother was afterward the subject Of
the Queens care
Another extraordinary epistle was
that sent some years ago to her
late Majesty Queen Victoria. The
writer was a boy of IT, living at one
of the sea ports, and had reference to
sport, much favored by the organizers
of seaside regattas, which consists OF
walking a horizontal pole projecting
over the water, and well CREASED, with
a prize at the end for anyone who can
get it. 1t ran as follows:
Dear Queen-There is walkin the
greasy poll at the sports in our arbor
next Tuesday. and there is an ham at
the end. If 1 get the ham, it Will be
very good for my family, becos my
father is out of wuk, and we have not
got much to etc. But 1 am smorI, as
they wont give me start, WITCH they
oughter. 1 am feared some wun big
ger will get 1t. win you please tell
them to put the ham not kwite at the
end for me, which will be more fair.
Yours obed., Johnny Ward.
p. S.-The arbor folks wont take no
motifs of me-
Her late Majesty was so amused by
this remarkable letter than she direct
ed ham to be dispatched to the lad
on the regatta day in case he should
not win. This was accordingly dones
and a grateful letter of thanks came
from the boy in response to his Queens
benihcence.
Perhaps the most amusing letter OF
all was that sent some time ago to
the Duke of York-now the Prince of
Wales-from a young Briton who
wanted to join the navy. From the
lads letter, we should judge that,
whatever his qualifications for the post
may have been generally, he woula
undoubtedly, in time of war, have
proved an acquisition. The epistle ran
as follows;

yesterday. Admiral Killick, comman-
der Of the Haytien fleet, disembarked
troops to support Gen. Firmin, former
Haytien minister at Paris, and one
of the candidates for the presidency of
the republic, and after refusing to rec
ognize the. constituted author
tiles, threatened to lombard

Corps to-day protested against
such action being taken. The bishop
and a delegation of the foreign con-
suls endeavored to bring about har-
mony between the contending factions,
but their efforts failed of success. Since
5 o'clock this evening fighting has
been in progress in the streets and the
firing still continues.

LekISlature Wiu Have
Juicy Plum to wrangle over.
Tallahassee, Fla, June 2S.-The sud-
den departure of Gov. Jennings for
Washington has given the gossips
something to talk about; there is, how
ever, nothing at all mysterious about
MS departure, and it is probable that
when he returns he will have succeed
ed IN adjusting whatever differences of
opinion that may exist between the
state administration and the federal
authorities in reference to the various
state claims now pending in Washing
ton Considering correspondence has
already passed between the Governor
ana the Secretary of the Treasury, Hon.
l.. M. Shaw, and while some delay is
probably inevitable, the tenor of the
latter's letters clearly indicate the dis
position OF the government officials to
expedite matters as much as possible.
In addition to the million-odd dol
lars originally involved in Florida's In
dian war claim-against which is an
offset of some 100000 in the state
bonds held by the Indian trust fund
the following sums are now due the
state from the general government:
$4,000 accruing on account of swamp
lands indemnity for the past 81 years,
end $4,000 arising from the per cent.
allowed the state on land sales since
Florida's admission to the Union. This
money, amounting in all to something
like $4,000. has hitherto been held
back by the Treasury Department as
an offset against the state bonds held
by the Indian trust fund; but, as those
bonds have now been provided for by
the settlement of the Indian war claim,
the sum involved must, of course,
eventually be covered into the State
Treasury, process which will give the
next Legislature a juicy surplus of
about $S15,000 to wrangle over.

Washington, June 2S.-It was stated
at the War Department this afternoon
that the entire Philippine Archipelago
will be placed under the control of the
civil authorities as represented by the
civil governor and the Philippine COM
mission, on July 4, and that Gen. Chat
fees functions as military governor of
the provinces now under control of the
military will terminate on that date
Gen. Chaffee, however, will remain
in command of the military
division Of the Philippines and
will assist the civil authorities in the
preservation of peace and good order
whenever called upon to do So The
effect of this policy will be the COM
plete establishment of civil govern
ment throughout the entire Philippine
Archipelago on American Independ-
ence Day. The military will be every
where subordinate to the civil authori-
ties, just as tits in the United States.
1t was further stated that the Moros
will be allowed to continue their tribal
relations for the time being, and will
be governed practically under the same
conditions as the American Indians I'M
til it is demonstrated that civil gov
eminent may be advantageously estab-
lished throughout the province of Min

From the philadelphia Times.
Some of the nissives received by SOW
ereiens and princes contain the ele-
n,ents of both humor and pathos in no
uncomfortable degree. Indeed TINS Is
true that to quote a few Of these ex-
traordInary letters is both interesting
and amusing:
A little over two years ago, says
Household Words, a sale was held IN
London. at which the present King ana
Queen presided The following day
Queen Alexandra received a curious
letter. written upon piece or tea pa

Lynn, Mass, June 9, 1902.
II will give me the keenest pleasure.
Mr.. Anxious Inquirer, to throw some
light on your query. I am passion
ately fond of dealing with such an alb
struse psychological problem as the
above, because the deep concentration
of thought necessary to its solution
serves to keep my brain muscles in
good working order.
Before taking up the main question it
will be necessary to look into the so
cial standing and family record of the
flea. 1t belongs to the genus pulex and
is regarded by entomologists as rep
resenting the distinct order Aphanip-
terra, probably so-called from its play
full habit of nipping. 1t is found large
ly in the United States and cheap no.
tells. where it soon learns to jump any
thing from a tired traveller to a board
bill. The flea has two eyes and six
legs. 1t might first appear that six
legs would be more than the flea could
use, but the facts in the case bear out
the statement that the flea needs all
its legs in its business.
Indeed the most remarkable accom-
plishment which the flea possesses is
it's ability as a long-distance jumper.
1t holds the worlds championship
against all other athletes of its weight
and size for the longest and highest
standing jump on record. When a flea
splits on its hands and leaps into space
there's no telling where Ii will light,
because ii never looks before II leaps.
No flea that is in love with its art
will potter around trying to find a soft
place to light before it doubles itself
up and begins to throw somersaults
into space.
The great objection to fleas is that
they will bite. No amount OF civiliza-
ton has served to cure the flea of this
vicious habit. Frequently flea will
lose it's temper about something and
bite an inoffensive person all night just
for spite.
To return. however. to the main
question, why did Noah take fieas into
the ark? AS matter of fact Noah's
logbook where he recorded incidents
of the voyage, shows us that he meant
to exclude fieas from the ark, but fail
ed in his effort. He talked the mat
ter over with his wife before the ami
mails were driven aboard. and they de-
cided to leave all f1eas behind to wa
terry grave. 1t happened, however
that when Noah drove the two dogs
aboard several fleas had camped out
on the dogs back, and In this was gain
ed admittance to the ark, where they
concealed themselves as stowaways I'M
til the ark was beyond sight of land. II
was not until the fieas ventured out
one night and kept the Noah family
awake until morning that their pres
ence was discovered. Noah himself
caught several and threw them over
board as a rebuke to the deception they
had practiced on him, but there were
others.
