Good Roads Special Begins
 It's Aldban1a Tour May 1
Schedule of Stops Each Place Road Experts Will Explain-Stereopticon Views and Working
 Models Will Be Exhibited

the road improvement train will stimulate the interest of the south, bring about the enactment of uniform laws and uniform methods in the handling of the improve nent and maintenance of roads, and give the whole south an opportunity to realize the full economic value of complete system of improved highways.
 Aside from its educational interest, the road improvement train will be an at traction to people who are not actively interested in such movements, drawing them by reason of the novel stereopticon exhibit and the working models, run by electricity, showing the various kinds of machinery by which roads can be built in modern fashion. The lecturers assigned to the train are among the most capable In the employ of the government, and they will discuss the problems Involved in road building and improvement in such way as to make an appeal to the average citizen.
 The good roads special will be on time and It's stops in the various towns will be limited to the time allotted on the schedule. It is expected that great crowds will turn out all along the line, and, where the crowds are large, the lectures will probably be delivered in the open air. persons desiring to see the working models and stereopticon views being ad- mitted, of course, to the cars. The stereop- ticon views will show all the advantages of good roads and the disadvantages of bad ones. There will be shown, for in stance, the manner in which bad roads hold up the doctor, and even the under taker, how they halt commerce and social intercourse, and reduce the profits of az riculture.
 There will be enlarged photographs showing some of the finest roads in the xx-o rd Q vvil n Q best way in which each locality can ob- tain such roads. The localities, and even the individual, with special problems to be solved, can make personal inquiries of the lecturers, and will be given individual aid.

The GentIer Sex.

The late Queen Victoria used to
say, May is continual ray Of sun
shine" and this statement is borne
out by her Majesty's principal friends.
1t is well known that her Majesty is
slow to make friends, but once made
she does not easily allow anything
to sever the friendship. Her tastes
are, of course, not like those of many
society women. Her chief interest is
centered in her home and her chill
dren, and she has no desire to be like
the butterfly society, woman.
Rank does not receive any great
consideration from her Majesty and
many of the friendships which she
made with people in comparatively
modest stations Of life when a girl
Lodge, Richmond Park, she still re-
tains. Indeed, a number of people
living in the neighborhoods Of Royal
Richmond, Kingston and Teddington
own intimate friendships with her
Majesty.
Queen Mary, like Queen Alexandra.
is fond of really good music and is
very fair musician. She also possess
SEES tuneful but not powerful mez-
20 soprano voice Her Majesty is
possessed of considerable skill in art
and has distinct literary tastes. She
very seldom misses an exhibition Of
any Importance. On these visits she
is generally accompanied by Lady
Katharine Coke, who, since the death
Of the Queens mother to whom she
was Lady in Waiting. has been one
Of her Majesty's Women Of the Bed
chamber. Lady Katharine Coke is a
very keen art critic and her Majesty
is often amused by her clever COM
ments upon the pictures which come
under their notice.
Her Majesty has very few intimate
friends among society ladies, but
among those honored with her friend
ship may be mentioned the Duchess of
Devonshire, who was recently INSTALL
ed as her Majesty's Mistress of the
Robes, and Lady Mount Stephen, to
whom their Majesties, it will be re-
rnembered, paid visit at Brocket Hall
near Hatfield, some few weeks ago.
Lady Eva Dugdale is perhaps the
Oldest and most intimate friend that
her Majesty possesses. AS is well
known, Lady Eva has been the
Queens Lady-in- Waiting, or Woman
of the Bedchamber as she is now off,
cially known, ever since her marriage
nearly eighteen years ago. She is
very clever needlewoman, and is also
said to be an expert upon furniture
and old china, two topics in which
the Queen takes very great interest.
Neither the Queen nor Lady Eva Dug
dale cares a great deal for outdoor
sports, both are great readers, and Of
ten discuss and criticise books to-

Last night one of the gangs upset
a barrel containing creosote on the
scene of building work operated by
the Marsh Bros, in Hancock avenue,
near Wordin avenue, and set match
to the highly inflammable stuff.
About $40 damage was done before
the hose wagon from No. z engine
house reached the scene of the bril-
liant blaze and extinguished the fire
in time to prevent possibly extensive
damage.
South End factories have sent in
several complaints of the throwing of
stones and other missiles through win
dows. The head Of one Of the large
factories complained that it was un-
safe to leave any window unprotected
by heavy screens, for fear the panes
would be smashed out over night.
Last night residents of Washington
Terrace were visited by one of the
crowds of roughs. The ringing of
door bells, followed by a torrent of
insults for the unsuspecting jewellers,
brought several complaints to police
headquarters.
Oscar Brandt, a builder of As Bell
street, reported to the police this
morning that during the night tool
mouse at building work near Union
avenue and Revere street was looted
of many building implements, worth
about $50. and including hammers,
saws, chisels, braces and bits and
other tools.
