and that she and Prince t'hritian

Victoria't wealth.
Not until Queen Victoria has it-n laid
to rest beside the pritn-o ronort nt KroK
ninre will the theater or inti-ic hulls re
open. Moreover, business will come to a
practical standstill. The n'iuie in nil
the hotel and public places ceased Inst
evening. Fashionable resorts were emp

were in evidence. The St. Ja rues',
Prince's and other prominent restaurant
bad already discarded alluring color for
svinber black.

her last stay in London, and St. .tames'

Early in the evening from St. Fanl's.
Westminster abbey and other churches
bells were solemnly tolling or ringing
muffled peals. In some cases the shop
were already exhibiting sign of mourn

population, therefore, slowly dispersed
as the night wore ou.
Shortly lefore miduight an otliciu! nu
nouncement was issued calling parlia
incut to assemble at 4 o'clock this nftet
noon io enable members of the house of
lords and house of common to take the
oath of allegiance to King Edward VII
Telegrams urriving from nil part oi
th country re-echo the deep feeling ot
sorrow pervading nil classes. These show
thnt everywhere bells have loou tolled
and public performances and private j
functions suspended. i
In Dublin the expressions of regret !
were universal. The bells of St. Patrick's '
cathedral were tolled. Earl Cadogan. the .
lord lieutenant, wa absent from Dublin
yesterday, but it I expected that he will
return immediately to preside at a meet
ing of the Irish privy council to proclaim
the new king.
The shops closed as soon as the bells
began to toll, nnd the blinds of Mansion ;
House were drawn Jown as soon as the ,
message from the Prince of Wales an
nouncing the queen's death was received
by the lord mayor.
The bell tolled at St. Paul's cathedral
was the gift ot William III and is used
only on occasion of the death of royal
personages, archbishop of Canterbury,
lord mayors of London nnd bishops ol
London. The tolling continued for two
hours yesterday at interval of a minute
and could be beard for miles in the direc
tion of the wind.
Some hundred of people stood in front
of the cathedral around the spot where
Queen Victoria prayed ou the sixtieth
anniversary of her acceiuu to the
throne.

Queen Victoria i dead and Edward VII

of this generation, the most stupendous
change in existing condition that could
possibly be imagined, has tuken plact
quietly, almost gently, upon the miniver

father, the Duke of Keut.
The end of this career, never equaled

women, living or dead, lay in a great foul
posted bed oud made a shrunken atom
whose aged fuce and figure were a cruel
mockery of the fail girl who in LSI!" be
gan to rule over England.
Around her were gathered almost ever;
descendant of her line. Well w ithiu view
of her dying eye there bung a portrait
of the prince consort. It was he who de
signed the room and every part of the
castle. In scarcely audible word tht

Innsual Tribute at WahlBo to
the lrmirr of tlae Dead Hmrrn.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 21. Four days
of anxiety had in a large measure pre
pared official Washington for the news
which was flashed across the cable of the
death of the queen of England. So it hap
pened that all things that could be de
cently done in anticiaption of the sail end
had been disposed of and all wa in readi
ness for the execution of the formalities
which are indispensable to such events.
When the end came, it found appropriate
measures of condolence framed and even
order ready for execution looking to the
half masting of the flag over the execn
tive department and the carrying out of
the usual formalities. The half masting
of the national ensign wa an unusual
tribute to the memory of the deceased
sovereign. It i said that thi has been
done rarely on the occasion of the funeral
of some great world' ruler, but never be
fore in the case of the death of u mon- .
arch.
President McKinley ha sent the fol
lowing message of condolence to King
Edward VII: "I have received with pro- .
found sorrow the Inmeutnhlc tidings of
the death of her majesty the queen. Al- ,
low me, sir, to offer my sincere sympathy
nnd that of the American oople in your
personal bereavement anil in the loss
Great Britain ha suffered in the death
of its venerable and illustrious sovereign.'
whose noble life and beneficent iuflueuce ,
have promoted the peace and won the uf
fection of the world."

an Indian's body that had turned to
solid stone. The mound is localfd on
the farm of Thomas .! me, and bonrs.

skeletons which were found there
crumbled to dust on exposure to the
air. I lie last mm or tne prirmeii In
dian was made nhout six feet beneath
the surface of the mound. Their shovvi
struck something hard and immovable
and investigation showed it to be in
the form of n man's face. The entire
form of the Indian was soon brought
to view, but nid had to be secured be
fore it could be removed. It was a fine
specimen of an Indian, over six feet
tall. Hi features are comely nnd hia
hands small and shnpily. The muscles
of his arms and b gs stand out in bidd
relief, as though carted by the hand
of mitn. and even the wrinkles in the
wrist- are discernible. The relic is now
at the home eif Mr. .leines nnd arrange
ments have beta made fur placing it
in a museum.
