ODD LETTERS TO ROYALTY.
Queer Missives That Have interested
and Aroused Their Recipients.


Some Of the missives received by SOW
erefgus and princes contain the elements
OF beth humor and pathOs in no lncon-
siderable degree. Indeed. this is true
that TO quote q few Of these extraordin-
ary letters Is both interesting and
amusing
A little over two years ago q sale was
held IN London, at which the present
King and Queen presided The follow
ing day Queen Alexandra received a Gu
ricus letter. written upon 2 piece Of tea
paper, which ran as follows:
"Dere Princess-When yu was passing
the corner. tuday. my little gel. aged 6,
ran tn give yu rose in exchange for
WIN Of yourn. becos she Iuv yu. I coodel
eIp it, but she mock down and run over
by the mex carriage. and now die. she
keep aEing for your rose. and would
VI please send wun.-Y Gus truly. Mary
The Queen, very much touched by this
letter, made Inquiries. She had noticed
the child who had run forward. but she
had not heard Of the accident. With
the kindness and sympathy for which
she IS so well loved. she went lmmedi-
ateIy to the hospital. and gave the poor
little sufferer a rose with her own
hand. The girl was the daughter Of a
poor factory woman Of Hackney, and the
case was q bad one But Queen AIexan-
dra went TO the hospital every dav for
q week, until the child was out of dan
ger, bringing her rose each time II
is also pleasing TO record that the vel
fare OF both the girl and her mother was
afteTward the subject OF the < -C--, e
care
Another extraordinary cpistie was that
sent some few years ago 10 her late
majesty Queen Victoria. The writer was
boy OF sixteen, living at one OF ths
sea ports. and had reference to sport
much favored by the organizers of sea-
side regattas. which consists Of walking
a horizontal pole, projecting over thC
water. and well creased. with a prize al
the end for anyone who can get It. II
ran as follows.
Dear 0uecn-Tbere is walkin thC
gresy poli at the sports IN our arboI
next Tuesday, and there is an ham al

very goood for my family, becos my IA

Her late majesty was so amused by
this remarkable letter that she directed

JOHN BROWNS GRANDSON.
His Death in the Colorado Desert for

J. a. Adams. a former resident Of Arf-
zona and grandson Of old John Brown,
whose soul goes marching on wan
dered away from his camp on the Colo
rado desert. on May 19, and perished
for want of water. The story of his dis
appearance is graphically told by Char
ley Fay, one of the party, as follows:
We went or on the desert prospect
ing for gold An Indian whom we had
employed to show Us where to fD,: water
on the desert caught his foot in the
stirrup while mounting his horse and
fell on his back.
''The horse started to run, dragging
the Indian By one foot. As the ground
was covered with Jagged rocks, the In
dian would have been killed he'd not

after the danger was over. Adams
sat down upon a rock and began laugh

replied: oh. no. I'm only little tired
but I guess you'll have TO help me SET
this arm We then started for Yuwa,
Adams riding some twenty-five miles
that afternoon and never once com
planning. though we could see by his
drawn features that he was suffering in
tense pain.
AT dusk We camped for the night and
within an hour the injured man was de-
Iirious and Taving like maniac Some
time during the night he left camp. AS
soon as we discovered that he had gone
we made every effort 20 find him, but
could not do much until daylight, when
we found his tracks in the sand We
followed the ira cks all that day and un-
tiI about o'clock the next day, when
we came to a hard. rocky place a the
foot OF some rock hills. Here We lost
the trail. and try as We might We could
not find it again.
For three days we searched the hills
but not a trace OF the man could We
discover, though We well knew that

Charles Broadway ROuss Dead.

Mr.. Charles Broadway Rouss a
native of Winchester, Va who died
Monday at his home on Fifth Ave-
nue., New York, was a remarkable
man. He began life as a clerk In a
store at a dollar a week and board
but he had turn for business and
he had pluck and push. he started
in business for himself in Winches
ter, and sooD had large and profit
able store. When the War broke out
he enlisted as private soldier and
fought with the Confederacy. After
the war he was without means and
had to start afresh. He went to New
York and obtained employment, and
finally built up a splendid business,
but in the panic of 1877 he failed. He
paid off all his debts with interest,
and for the third time began a career
without capital. At the time of his
death he owned one of the largest
and most profitable mercantile es-
Establishments in New York. For a
number of years Mr.. Rouss was all
most blind, but to the last he gave
his personal attention to his bust
ness, and was hard worker.
Mr. Rouss was generous with his
means, and particularly liberal TO
the town of Winchester He made a
rich gift to the University of Virgin
III, and every year gave away tho1s-
ands of dollars for good objects. In
addition he offered 100000 to erect
a Confederate Battle Abbey.
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1902-03-08

Almost the whole of the morning
session of the convention Wednesday
was devoted to efforts to amend in
some form section six of the report
on finance and taxation, which pre-
scribes the payment Of $3.50 capita
ton tax and provides that it should
not be collected by distress. The
effort was directed towards striking
out the last provision. The debate
sounded like suffrage conference,
as that question was the burden of
the struggle. The defeat of the
amendments foreshadowed a pre-
requisite-paid- capitation-tax-b before
voting, in the suffrage article. One
important amendment was adopted
authorizing the Legislature to give
supervisors of cities, towns or coun-
ties power to levy a local capitation
tax of 81 for special local purposes. A
good days work was done in the
adoption of thirteen sections of the
report Richmond Times.
