He had his daughter play him German airs in his last days. Victoria's stepbrother, the Duke of Leiningen. was with Albert when he died. , The queen mourned long, and some thought her mind would be affected. The insensate London tradesmen shrieked, "Be done with your hiding away and come aud get us trade." Albert, like Handel, the musician before him, knew the difference between German love of art and " knowledge for their own sake and English mining for knowledge as a means of wealth. He had written be fore his marriage of England: "These people cannot understand the profound genius of our German litera ture, and hence . their undervaluing of it." He taught the queen to love scei ery and said that the heavy London at mosphere always weighed him down. Victoria built a mausoleum at Frog more for Albert's remains, and a grand monument the most elaborate in Eu rope is erected to that prince consort in 'Hyde park . gardens. 'I have had God's teaching." said the widow, "and learned to boar all he lays upon tne." - Sho gave renewed attention to the pub lic business from a desire to, carry out the training her husband had given her.

The spirits of Cxoethe, Schiller and Mendelsso'tm have for .3 years been rul ing England. Ten years after her father s death the Princess Louise married the' Marquis of Lorne. Two Scotchmen and several Ger mans are the queen's sons-in-law. Helena married Prince Christian of Sleswick Holstein in the mourning period. Prince Albert resisted the insidious persuasions of Napoleon in to take part in the dismemberment of the United States.. The wise investment the Ger man people made in American war bonds assisted them : to maintain the armies which beat Austria and France, Eng lishmen of as much hypocrisy and as lit tle decency as Carlyle said of the United States, 'It is a dirty chimney; let it burn itself out." The queen sent a message in 1866 to the president upon the com pletion of the Atlantic cable, consoled Mrs. Lincoln upon her husband's death and entertained the son of Lincoln, Gen eral Grant and the son of Harrison. Sit times had this good woman been shot at and once struck in that brutal country struck by an officer of hussars. Not an insult was ever offered her in Ireland or in any other country. - Her learned and. letters .loving hus band, in his effort to improve the civili sation of England, was frequently hound ed by public speakers, press and people. They laid upon him the Crimean war, which was due to that jockey, Palmer stoni the man whom. Mr. Buchanan con gratulated ' upon the strong likeness of his stepchildren to him. After tho queen had received the sultan and the shah in England the king of Abyssinia desired to marry her. He was killed, in 1868 or took his own life, and Stanley, one of our American war cor respondents, sent the queen the first news of the death of her dusky lover.

' SALE PRICE 59C Order House made up of major and minor issues, tho latter simply acting as grace notes. The harmony of the document, say these gentlemen, is complete without thr grace notes. Late advices from Washington dis cover the presence of another minor plank in the Philadelphia pronounce ment which proved a '"good enough Morgan" for 1900. The plank referred to reads as follows: "The Dinsrley act. amended to pro vide sufficient revenue for the conduit of the war, has so well performed its work that it has been possible to re duce the war debt in the sum of $40. 000.000." This naturally implies a correspond ing cut in taxation, for until the taxes are cut, the saving refer red to is sim ply no saving at all. President Mc Kinley seconded the plank quoted by recommending to eongress. in his message of December last, a material reduction of the war schedule. But all this, it now appears, was mere "promise to the ear." We have the authority of such conservative journals as the New York Times and the Philadelphia Ledger for stating that there will be no reduction of war taxes so far as this congress is con cerned, because the republican leaders of the senate are-unable to agree as to where the1 reduction shall be plac ed, and rather than disappoint many in their own party ranUs they propose to disappoint the people at large, re gardless of party. The war reduction bill passed the house of representatives prior to the holidays, in rather promising shape, with some popular features. It was referred in the senate to the finance committee, and that august body has kept it in cold storage ever since. A member of the committee recently stated that It was his impression, from hints offered for his use, "that when required to choose between a bill t.iat tnou- off $?.0 000.000 or nothing, the fi nance committee decided that it should be nothing. Then the pressure or Deer men and other interests to be taken care of by the senate has made it dif ficult to report the bill as passed by the house." That the bill should be passed at this session is no longer regarded as necessary by administration leaders. The word "optional" ornaments the covering of the pigeon-hole in which it reposes. . The war taxes of lSfS will exist on the statute books in i002, four years after the treaty of Paris put an end to the 100-day excursion against the Spanish Dons. Necessity urged the special schedule and led the public to accept it without complaint. It re mains in full force for another reason because the party leaders in the s?n ate are unable to decide between the claims of the brewers and those of the patent medicine interests, seeing that each chipped in liberally last summer BREAK l1 ki LOT 2 MEN'S $2.00 ANO $2.50 HATS AT This lot represents the short lots and broken sizes of our regular line of Men's $2.00 and S2.50 Soft Hats You may from this lot select a hat to your liking and have the full knowledge that you aro owning' it for less money than the raw material cost the munufacturer.
