Tho end of this enrocr. never equaled
by nny woman In tho world s history, came
In n simple furnished room In Osbornu
house. This most respected of all women,
living or dead, lay In a great four-posted
bed a shrunken ntom, whose face nnd flguro
wero a cruel mockery of the girl who, In
1R37. began to rulo over England. Around
her were gathered almost every descendant
of her line. Well within view of her dying
oycH. thero hung a iportrnlt of the prlnco
consort. It wns he who designed tho room
and every part of the castlo. In scarcely
nudlbln words, tho white-haired bishop of
Winchester prayed beside her as ho had
often pruyed with his toverelgn, for ho was
her chaplain at Windsor. With bowed
heads tho Imperious ruler of the German
empire and tho man who Is king of England,
tho woman who has succeeded to the title
of queen, tho prlnco and princesses, nnd
thoso of less than roynl designation listened
to the bishop's ceaseless prayer.
Six o clock passed. Tho bishop continued
his Intercession. One of the younger chll
dicn nsked n question In shrill, childish
treble and immediately wob silenced. The
women of this royal family sobbed faintly
and tho men shuttled uneasily.

of International history, for tho court ladles

Thp wheels of tho world wero Jarred
when tho announcement came, but In this

usual course. Down In tho kitchen they
wero cooking a huge dinner for nn assom-

tlons proceeded Just as If nothing had hap-
pencil. Tho bojly of Quoen Victoria waa
embolmcd nnd probably will be tnkon to

Much Interest was evinced In tho way In
whlcii tho queen's Immense fortune would
bo distributed, tho general notion being
thnt Osborno house would go to Princess
llentrlcn nnd thnt she nnd Princess Chris
tian would come Into a considerable por
tion of Victoria's wealth. Tho probability
that King Edward will take up a prnctl
cnlly permanent residence In Hueklnghnm

tion thnt conies very much home to London
ers. Qucon Victoria's preference for Hal
moral castlo nnd Osborne house has been

of the queen t would ho simply on tho

recently.
Ho could not do more thnn emphasize
tho fact thnt Victoria was llko Washington,
because it was tho nobility of her charac
ter' rather than any conspicuous gifts of
Intellect that won for her such universal
esteem. They had been tho most success
ful rulers ot their respective rations, nnd
yet-nelther had possessed nny such shining
talents bb thoso with which Napoleon daz
zled tho world. .
Hlshop Potter also tald: "In my opinion,
thero has Iccn no political bond that has
hound together tho Hrjtlsh empire with
more power, if 11s much, ns tho bond of
personal devotion to this, beautiful charac

on my recent trip nround (ho world, to ob

Tho rapidity with which the news spread

KANSAS CITY. Jan. 23. Judge Henry
of tho circuit court handed down a case of
national Importanco today when In a writ
ten opinion ho decided that tho state of
Missouri, represented by tho State Iluard
of Equalization, bad no right to tax ho
franchlso of tho Western , Union Telegraph
tompaii)'. '
When the State Hoard of Equalization lust
met. tho Western Union turned In tho
valuation of Its nssessmcnt of nctunl prop
erly which tho hoard .practically doubled,
nnd added tho words, "and all other prop
erty, JS02.000." It was to this that tho
company obje tod, contending that the board
had usscsted this value against its fran
chise. Payments was refused and tho
stntv brought suit through tho county col
lector. Judge Henry In his decision says, in part:
Tio principal und controlling iiticbtlon In
this enso Is whether the franchise of tho
Western Union Is tuMilile under the law,
the attorneys for the cnmpiiny coiileiillng
that, Inasmuch up It derived no fruti lilse
from the state, but Its right to place lis
poles und wires on cud iiIoiik the post.il
roads of tho United Stntes In this utnto
and conduct Us business over them, was
erlvil from the irover.-nent of tho I nltirt
States and Is 11 governmental agency under
tne net 111 congress, supra, I lie stnle cannot
Imposo the tux on the franchise. It is an
Important question and has been nbly and
plausibly argued by 1I10 coum-cl on both
sides.
rht' mere fact t tin t n franchise Is tlorlveil
from the government of the United States
wi uld not, 1 should think, exempt il from
tnxtiituu ny uio siuto in which it m exer
cised.
If the franchise of the Western 1 nlon u
nontaxable It must be 011 the sole urounil
thut It Is 11 governmental nuuicy, tor on
no other ground can the puKltlou tnnt It Is
nontaxable by tho bo maintained.
Tho nut of cotiKrcss of ltc gave that com
pany nil the rluhts It has In .Missouri 111.1l
may lie regarded as a new und distinct
charter to the company by tho government
for government purposes so rnr as its n.
Istcnce In this state Is concerned. It Is a
governmental agency under the dcclsloim
of tho supremo court of tho United Stntys
above stutcd.
