COURT SECRETS TOLD
INTERESTING ANECDOTES ABOUT
THE LATE QUEEN VICTORIA.
BY No Means as Sweet Tempered at
Horne as She Appeared to Her
Subjects-Once Threw Cup Of
Tea In Husbands Face.

1.-THE Married Life of Queen Vic
toria,' which has been compiled by
Mrs. Jerrold, carries a stage further
the study of the queen, which she be-
gan in THE Early Court of Queen
Victoria" and many interesting little
anecdotes she tells which never have
been published before.
She prefaces her work by saying
that had the prince consort lived long
enough, the history Of England would
have been very different. There would
nave been, she says, no great Queen
Victoria, for by 1860 the queen had
SO entirely transferred all work to
her husband that, excepting as an
appearance and a signature, the queen
regnant might almost be said not to
have existed, and 1t would have beer
on that point that an English revolu-
ton would have occurred.
Many of the stories of court life told
in the book will cause a smile in these
later days. For instance, it is mar
rated how the queen ardently desired
that Albert should be made king
consort, which caused Lord Melbourne
to respond impetuously: For Gods
sake, say no more about it, ma'am, for
those who can make kings can I'M
make them!"
Echoes of quarrels between the
royal couple got abroad and on n oc-
casion the queen rushed from the
room. Returning after a time, she
found the door locked and knocked i'm
%petuously for entry. "Who is there?'
cried the prince. THE queen Of Eng
land!" was the naughty reply, and all
remained quiet behind the door. Again
and again Victoria knocked, and again
and again came the same question and
answer, till at length the conquered
queen responded: Your wife, Albert"
The door was opened, and the weeping
queen was comforted.
Another time the disagreement vas

suit hat NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
flung the contents of a cup int her
lords face
In 1S47 there was a famine in Ire
land, and the queen wished to ex-
ercise economy in her household.
Two kinds of wheat known as
'~firsts" and seconds" were in
use, the firsts being Essex white and
the seconds Baltic red. Naturally
the residents in the palace were
fed on the, best wheat, which
cost 20 per cent. more than the other.
But now that the time of stress had
arrived a royal order was issued that
no description Of flour except sec
onds should be used in her majesty's
household and that the daily allow
ance should be restricted to one pound
per head for every person dieted in
the palace
The result was that the price Of
second flour rose till it equaled
that of the best, and the want
grew more bitter. The queens eco
nomic example, says Mrs. Jarold,
was commented upon at the time.

Shocked the Mother.

r.. F. Barnett Of Louisville was 60
ing into Louisville from Memphis. On
the train was a white-haired old lady,
with whom chance drew him into con.
versation. She told him that she was
going to visit her son, whom she had
not seen for two or three years. He
had written q few weeks before, ask.
ing her to visit him at Louisville,
naming a certain hotel. At the depot
she was greatly disappointed not to
meet her son, and Mr.. Barnett accom-.
panied her to the hotel. He took her
to the parlor, and volunteered to find
her son. The clerk had not seen him,
but had a letter for the lady. AS soon
as she read the first line she tainted,
and Mr.. Barnett hurriedly sent for a
physician, picking up the letter. The
first paragraph was: my Dear
Mother am now in the peniten-
tiary." Mr.. Barnett was shocked, but
read further. The next paragraph
said: Il have a good position with
the contractors, and 1t is impossible
to get away. Come on to Frankfort.
l have already rented a house for US
to live IN" 1T took Mr.. Barnett and
the physician three hours to bring
the mother to consciousness.

CALIFORNIA; COURSE PROVES
VERY DISAPPOINTING TO

JOHNSON WILL SIGN THE BILL
Agrees TO Wait, However, Until Sec
-stary Bryan Corners with Wilson
-Press sIames Government for
"Fallure OF Diplomacy"

San Francisco.-A cablegram from
Tokyo to the Japanese American, a
Japanese daily of this city, states that
the Japanese government cabled in
structions to Baron Chinda, Japanese
ambassador at Washington, to make
formal protest against the alien land
bill enacted by the California legisla-
ture and now waiting Gov. Johnson's
signature. The message adds that the
position taken by the Japanese gov
eminent is hat the United States is
responsible for the finding of a salts
factory solution Of the question under
It's treaty obligations to Japan.
Describing the receipt Of news from
Sacramento that the bill had passed
both houses Of the legislature, the
message says:
when the Japanese people received
the report that the alien land law had
passed the California legislature all
the people were deeply disappointed"
The Japanese press expressed a
general appreciation OF the efforts of
President Wilson In behalf of a land
bill In California that would be unob-
~Jectionable to the Japanese.
Leaders of public opinion in japan
are advising that an attitude of calm
be maintained in the present sit
uation. Such men as Baron Shibu-
sawa and Chairman Nakano, OF the
Tokyo chamber Of commerce, publicly
assert confidence that the American
and the people alike are
opposed to discriminary measures Of
legislation. They declare hat every
effort now must be made to discover
and eradicate the root Of antagonism
to the Japanese in California that am
scable relations may be restored.

Amateur Doctor.

A touching incident of the visit to
the Holy land occurred during the
course Of the trip to the Sea of Cali
lice. Sickness and poverty are per-
haps as common there today as in BIZ
BILE times, and anyone who can give
medical aid is implored to lend assist
nee. In the crowd Of natives who
pressed about to watch the operation
of the moving-picture machine one day
was a man whose hand had been badly
liberated by caeus thorns. The NOV.
ing-picture operator, Mr.. Hollister,
who had a good knowledge of first
aid to the injured, produced his medi-
cine case and cleansed and bound up
the wound. Instantly scores of suffer
ers from a variety of ills pressed for,
ward imploring his attention. Mean,
while the news spread rapidly and tho
crowd of suppliants increased to q
small mob. Soon the sheiks or head
men appeared and explained through
the interpreter that the doctor" must
remain to attend the sick in the town,
there being no physician. 1t was use
less to argue. A conference was call,
ed and the moving-picture apparatus
was soon hastily packed up and the
party left the town to escape the
throngs of sufferers for whom they
could do nothing.-Christian Herald.

Governor Fixes Sunday, May II, az
Date of Mothers Day.
Pierre.-Gov. Byrne issued his first
Mothers Day proclamation, fixing Sun
day, May IL, as the date for such OBJ
1t follows:
Yearly establishing itself more firm
ly as one of the most worthy of the
American customs, is the annual OBJ
of the second Sunday in u
beautiful memorial month as Mothers
Day, and it is in accordance with this
custom that |, Frank M. Byrne, gov
ernor of the state of South Dakota, do
hereby designate and set apart Sun
day, May II, 1913, as the day of such
observance.
We well realize hat the very foun-
dation stone of our national structure
rests in part upon each individual
home, and we acknowledge as well
hat in like manne the burden OF the
home rests upon the mother, for TO
her it is given to nurture the child,
to encourage and educate the youth,
to elevate the family standards, and
strengthen the cause of truth and
right in the minds of all.
Nothing we might ever do could re-
move the debt Of gratitude we owe to
our mothers; nothing could repay
them for their sacrifices and devotion,
but on this day which has been dedi-
icated to them we perhaps a in
small measure evidence u apprecia-
ton of mother love.
l trust hat the people throughout
the state may observe the day with
reverential respect, and further re-
commend hat the clergy shall devote
m service in their respective places
of worship to appropriate and fitting
exercises.

WAR CRISIS IS NEAR
AUSTRIA MOVES TROOPS ON MON.
TENEGRo's BORDER.
Time Limit for NIehoIas' Answer to

Hinges on Reply.

London, May IA Daily Mail dis
patch received from Antivari, Monte
negro, says that 100000 Austrian
nearing the Montenegro frontier,
while several thousand moro are ap-
~p-oaching Antivari in transports.
Another dispatch to the same paper
from Sarajesto, Bosnia, say that final
preparations have been completed for
the Immediate advance Of Austrian
troops into Montenegro.
1t was definitely stated here that in
the event of Austria undertaking an
independent invasion of Albania and
Montenegro, Italy at once will join in
the movement and take Vallona and
DuraZzo.
The eyes of all Europe are turned
on the British foreign office here,
where the meeting of the foreign
ambassadors will take place and at
which a definite plan of action in re-
gard to the holding of Scutari by
King Nicholas will be decided upon.
Upon the answer of King Nicholas
Of Montenegro to the demand of Aus
tria-Hungary of the evacuation of
Scutari by the Montenegrins hangs
the possibility Of a European war.
The answer is due. the time limit
set by the Austrian government for
King Nicholas troops to leave the
Turkish city. 1t will be delivered to
the conference of foreign ambassadors
Of the great powers assembled here.
Should King Nicholas remain OBJ
durate to the demands of Australian
gary, it is believed Austria will force
her demands for Intervention either
alone or in alliance with the other
powers.
