Queen Alexandra Remember wives
md Children of Men Killed in
south Africa.

LONDON, Dec. 27.-Queen A~lexandra's
dinner this afternoon to the widows and
children Of those killed in the South AZ
rican war formed the most striking dem
onstration in London's observance Of Christ
mas.
Long before the festivities began crowds
gathered in the streets adjacent to the
Alexandra Trust building, which was gally
decorated. Over 600 widows and 500 chill
dren partook.
The bright clothing Of the children formed
a pleasant contrast to their mothers wild
ows' weeds. Inside the building there
we're military bands on each floor, while
Highland pipers, Punch and Judy shows,
theatrical troupes and tables for toys,
crackers and special chocolate boxes from
the queen all lent vivid color to the cele-
bration.
Sir Thomas Upton, who received the
guests in behalf of the queen, was kept
busy helping lift children to relieve moth
ers who had brought families larger than
they could carry.
Sir Thomas read the following message
from the queen:
Pray convey the expression Of my very
best wishes to my guests at the Alexandra
Trust. May they spend a happy day and
may God help and bless them through tho
coming year"
In the course of his speech, Sir Thomas
Upton said:
II feel certain all Of you will ever treas
ure the recollection Of today's gathering
as a token OF the queens high regard and
womanly solicitude for those whose best
and dearest laid down their lives for king
and country.

taken as a ~queenly lesson, which ought to
be forever remembered, that those who
have suffered in behalf of their country
should not be forgotten"
Sir Thomas call for cheers for the queen
was answered with a great shout from the
women and children, which the crowds out
side took up.
A telegram was sent to Queen Alexan-
dra expressing the loyal and loving thanks
Of the children and their mothers and wish
ing the king and queen . happy New Year.

Prisoner. Wen Looked After.

At the present day the heroic escape
from prison on the grand scale, or the
escape that depends on tools of any
sort is very rarely possible. Prisoners
are no longer left unvisitcd in their
cells; cells are constantly overhauled,
walls, floors and ceilings sounded,
gratings examined, and the search sys-
tenn would render it difficult for g
prisoner to carry in with him the very
smallest file or gimlet In English
prison workshops they have an ingen-
ious way of keeping an eye and check
on the tools in use. The tools are hung
on large black boards and t1e form OF
every tool is painted white on the
place on the board to which It belongs;
the prisoner who attempts a theft is
accordingly betrayed at once by the
telltale outline which shows that some
instrument is missing.

TO PROTECT THE INDIANS

The Government Will Prosecute Men
Who Instituted Fraudulent Contestt
WASHINGTON: Colonel Randlett, tho
Indian agent at Anadarko for the
Kiowas, Comanches and Wichitas, has
recommended that criminal prosecution
be instituted against the white men who
have begun contests against certain In
dians. Under the old Medicine Lodge
treaty a number of the Kiowas and Com
anches took allotments of 320 acres
each. These allotments were frequent
ly taken in two tracts of 100 acres each
and, on nearly every one of them, CON
tests have been instituted. The Indian
agent at Anadarko alleges that, in order
to establish grounds for contest, white
men have in many cases sworn to false
hoods and that the Indians have been
much alarmed.
