In all the countries of the civilized
world there prevailed spirit of SYM
pathetic sadness. Over every city,
town and hamlet in England, Scotland
and Wales there hung Il cloud. In
G-eat. rich, ancient London people
walked the streets with grave faces.
Festivities were postponed. social
plans were altered. In the old church
IS prayers were offered. One closing
anthem was played with sorrowful
softness which made it prayer in it
self and those who heard passed out
into the air with tears. This because

II was 81 years after a night on
which a girl-a mere child creature in
her teens-was awakened from her
sleep to be told that she was the
queen OF England. There is popular
picture of the incident, in which she
stands, touchingly young and grave,
ho!diag out a hand that an old man
who kncels before her may kiss it in
doing homage to his sovereign.
IIcr sense of the responsibility of
her position was a thing like genius.
In all things touching it she was al
ways grave, always sagacious and
beautifully earnest. A young girl

been forgiven many things for which
The nation this young creature was
born TO rule was never called upon to
forgive her
Ore very interesting feature of her
life was that people made no habit of
speaking of her as brilliant woman.

What one is chiefly struck by as
one looks back over long years is the
| naturalneSS, the normal processes
with which her power grew. Her in
fluence was cumulative. AS child of
ia pretty creature with roses in
the brim of tar quaint bonnet-she
and her touching youth were chival-
rously adored. There is a charming
letter of Charles Dickens, written in
his early manhood. in which he play
fully describes his hopeless passion
for beautiful young lady he has seen
walking in garden. In his own in
imitable way he paints her loneliness
and its effect upon his susceptible
temperament, his delight in her and
his frantic despair at the hopelessness
of his flame. He ends by the confes-
sion that the incompatible she is the
young queen OF England, whom he
! has beheld as she walked in the gar
den of her palace. 1t can easily be
! imagined that many of her young male
subjects in secret swore fealty to her,
and it may be that some of them
| proved their faith on Crimean and
Indian battlefields when they were of
ripper years.
She began by pleasing Englishmen
from the first, by an unconscious ar
| peal to their chivalry and the best
qualities of the sturdy insular nature.
She took an honest young consort and
gave her people strong boys and rosy
girls to be their princes and princess
es. Her subjects knew that her home
was happy and her children loved.
She hedged her throne with no divini-
ty, but lived before her peoples eyes
healthful and normal. kindly and in
frank confidence in her country's af-
lection. AS the years passed the evil
dences OF her care for those she ruled
over were countless. When she lay
dy' 1g at Osborne one wondered that

been time for the innumerable acts OF
feeling kindness alone which can be

man or woman would be the best
possible exponent of character and in
some cases might form a monument
to which no otner could compare. A
collection of the messages sent by
Victoria of England to high and low
gentle and simple, in time of sorrow
would form not alone record of deep
feeling but of an executive ability
which seemed to find time to think OF
all things. a woman of passionate
tenderness, widowed in her early ma
turity, her heart turned to all women
bereaved. A mother as full of noble
ambition for her children as of in
tense love, her sympathy for young
death, her praise for young deeds OF
courage or honor sped fast to many a
woman's broken or proud heart THE

The rotunda will extend from the ground floor through the en- tire height of the structure -four stories) terminating with a dome un- der the roof. It will be 75 feet in diameter.
