~ HERE is much TO De Sald TOT
the contention of the daugh-
ter of the worlds most famous
millionaire, that every worthy
mother Is queen among
women-every thing, except
this: That she isn't.
For to be a queen, a woman must
rule, by whatever means she can com
mand, over a whole people, not over
a family or few individuals merely;
and over her people her sway must en-
dure undisputed.
Such pre-eminence and such rule,
while IL does eliminate the simple ma
triarch. remains far from debarring
from admission many a woman who
can never wear n crown. And II does
shut out not few who wear crowns
to-day.
For there are queens who are OBJ
vious nonentities on their august
thrones. even as there are untitled
women whose sway is as potent. and
as broad, as that ever welded by the
most tyrannous of kings over the most
subservient of peoples.
In the first group appear a number
of the reigning majesties Of the pres
ent, foremost among them the queen
OF the most stable kingdom and the
empress of the most extensive empire
the world now knows and in all its
history has contained-Alexandra of
Great Britain.
In Praise Of Alexandra.
She Is famed for every attribute of
beautiful and admirable motherhood; (;
she comes OF the most widely en-
throned royal race; she is all that is
lovely and excellent and gracious.
Yet her power. her real power, as a
ruler remains practically nil. Her hus-
band, after a career which British
loyalty, reminiscent of his princeship
Of Wales. finds II impossible to forget
and under constitutional era that
ties such monarchs to the innocuous-
ness of autoInata, has proved himself
= king in the full reality Of the cum
ming and ability in which Carlyle dis
covered the origin and significance OF
the title.
IL is a strange anomaly: son, sue
ceeding a mother whose dominant
spirit kept his gray beard almost a
mockery Of his destiny to power. and

cepts its kings very much on toler-
ance, its queens only as inevitable at
tachments. and It's real leaders in
thought and art as rare possessions
IL cannot AFFORD to lose.

Queen Alexandra and Mrs. Humphry
Ward could be submitted for trial,
nothing but the notorious lip loyalty
of the Englishman could give the YER
dict in favor of the reigning queen.
With Victoria, of course, the dispute
would have been too unequal. for she
was an imperious young lady and old
lady; and all the literary lights of her
era-except. perhaps. Thackeray-fail
to show so pronounced an impression
as she made on the manners and NOR.
ais of her times. while India became
her empire because Disraeli. as her
prime minister, comprehended how
much she longed for the title, albeit
Great Britain already enjoyed the sub
stance. Yet that very title, manufac-
tured from thin air to add another
crown. has in the end served to rivet
the chains of ownership upon halt II
continent in Asia.
But. as things go soberly at present.
the odds of power all lie with the
woman novelist, whose influence all
EuSiuhu itttly.
AS things go, too, in France, the
drama gives TO the world another
| queen, whose dominance no one dares
deny. Sara Bernhardt can still lay
her slender hands upon the inmost
souls of men and hale them forth
until their owners are her humble
slaves-and this by no wiles of beau
ty and no ravishment of form.
Her Position Won.
She won her distinguished position
through such mazes of rivalries and
cabals as few queens, excepting those
! of the seventeenth and eighteenth
| centuries, have encountered-deep
laid schemes of astute schemers,
whose hatreds did not finch at the
most detestable attacks. She has en-
dured, and is now more priced by her
republican compatriots than are the
queens of Europe by their nominally
loyal subjects.
Italy has its stage queen as well as
France, woman whose whole life
has been a romance, her rise to great
ness having been marked by as i'm
pressive a discrepancy as that which
attended the beggar maid whom King
Cophetua loved
Until the titular queen of Italy bold
ly conquered the affections of her
subjects by Drawing death and sustain
ing injury after the terrible Stellar
earthquake, there was small doubt as
to the woman to whom the bulk Of
Italy's allegiance was passionately
given. and that in spite of the equally

George Newhall Tells of Hudson's
Bay Survey Work

Special Dispatch 10 The star.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, March 12.-Clad

the remote north country, George New
hall, head of the Hudson bay survey.
has arrived, after a tedious journey
from Split lake. where the line work is
being pushed to Hudson bay. Newhall
was in splendid condition in spite Of the
long journey through the arctic and hard
ships endured. Six months of hard work
in the open have given him the strength
of savage.
Newhall said that great work had been
done with the survey, and it was likely
all the men would be back in the city
within another month.
The headquarters of the survey were
at Split lake, 80 miles north of Nor
way House Around the place the country
is fairly level. but is composed for the
most part of mUSkeSs, while lakes OF all
sizes abound. From an engineering stand
point it is not difficult country through
which to build d railroad. But serious
question that must be combated with is
the Transportation problem. The surveyors
could not secure dogs there and food for
dogs was also remarkably scarce. and the
party had to send to winnipeg Tor more
dogs to transport them.
The men on the survey were not allow
ed to use liquor in any form. and IL was
not even there for medicinal purposes.
Most OF these men are Americans from
Detroit and lake ports 1t was simply
impossible for a man to become sick in
these lands. Working in the winter time
was best in that country, and even though
it was so cold. very few experienced frost

and then the decaying mass still remains to gen.

The most effective method for alIaying natu-

Since its discovery the idea has grown
that it was from here the stone was taken
by Solomon with which to build the
ancient Jewish temple which bore his
name Several facts lend color to this
theory
One is that Josephus speaks Of the tenn
ple as having been white. like a mountain
of snow, and the least inspection of the
rock in this quarry shows that 1t is eN-
| ceedingly white. 1t is also soft and har-
dens on exposure to the air. which Is
greatly in favor of its being easily dressed
| and carved for building purposes
Josephus also calls cavern beneath
the city. of which he speaks. the royal
cavern. which is evidently this quarry
| 1t is also said that some of the blocks
composing the ancient city wall are OF
| this same stone
| Still another fact is the existence. in
the central part of the quarries. of a large
| chamber whose floor is deep with small
stone clippings. showing that here the
! blocks of stone were worked into shape
suggesting the alluSion i'm the Old Testa
/ ment to the temple having been put uI
without the sound of hammer or saw.
Doubtless it has been from these con
siderations that in recent years this
quarry has come to be called Solomon's
quarries i'm ordinary parlance. However
that name is not met with i'm the books
of archeologists and other writer's OF
