Tho announcement tlint Cft4"m Vic
toria, la lo leave, by will, Osboruo house
Jo one daughter, tho leftso of Abergol
Olo homo to another, find Balmoral, tho
royal residence In the lllnhlnmls, 10 tho
duke of Connaught, recalls tho fact thnt
the man wha would devour this par
tlculnr wldov,'r, hoiiBca nulst mnko an
uncommonly full meal, says an ex
change. It was discovered n few yenrs
elnco that the queen owned GOO houses
in various parts of England, not royal
residences, but rcnt-yleldlng property,
and that about .C.U00 houses had been
built by crown lessees on building
leaseholds held by the queen. Sho then
had also rents from markota and tolls
from ferries, .besides tho proceeds of
mlnpB and other works upon her prop
erty or tho crown property. Sho had
largo estates In Yorkshire, Oxfordshire
and Berks, valuable lands In tho Iole
of Man and In Alderney, Scotland, Ire
land and Wales, Of tho New Forest
thcro are 2,000 acres of absolute and
nlxty-tlirco acres of contingent crown
property. Her mnjesty enjoys Incomo
from tho forect of Dean, from several
other forests and from rich properties
In and about London.
Osborne, on tho Isle of Wight, and
Balmoral la tho highlands are the
prlvato property of tho queen and are
maintained ont of her own Income. But
eho has the upo of a few royal palaces
besides and these aro maintained by
tho nation at an annual expenditure
ranging from $2,500 to $50,000. Tho
qucon Ib lu the occupancy of Bucking
ham pajaco, Windsor castle, the whlto
lodgo at Richmond park and part of
fit. James' palace. The jfonialndor of
tho lastnamed palace Is occupied by
other members of tho royal family.
Other royal palaces maintained as such
nlthough not in tho occupancy of tho
queen, are Kensington palaco, Hamp
ton court, which, according to a recent
r cstlmato based on the statistics of eight
or ten years, costs the nation on tho
r averago over $70,000 a year; Kew
r palace, Pombroko lodge, the thatched
cottage and Sheen cottage, Richmond
park, Busby houso in Bushy park and
Holyrood palaco. Tho queen when sho
visits the continent has ono great houso
or another, with whatever repairs and
refurnishing aro necessary to fit it for
a temporary royal occupant, although
for all this she pays out of her own in
come Bagshot house, Gloucester houso
and Clarence houso are palatial dwel-
. lings occupied by various members of
' tho royal family.
Tho queen has four rather old-fashioned
yachts, on which she makos her
pea Journeys, although tho oldest of
thorn probably is used seldom or never.
v The four cost originally about $1,375,
000. Tho newest Is of 1,890 tons' dis
placement and cost a trlflo over $500,-
r 000. It cost annually about $G5,000.
Frank Jm ai an Rxprtm Ounrd.
Frank James as a guard on express
tralnB carrying large amounts of money
or valuables Is ono of tho novelties tho
express pooplo are now arranging. Ne
gotiations have beon In progress now
for soveral weeks, but tho possibilities
ore that they will bo closed up wlthtn a
few days. Tho effect of James' name,
in view of his fonnor prowess In rob
bing trains himself, Is what tho express
companies aro aiming after. They do
pot know, they say, that he could atop
a determined rpbber any more than ono
of their own messengers, but they
think the ordinary train robber would
hesitate to tackle him. James Is will
ing to accept tho position, and guaran
tee that no train In his charge will be
robbed exeept ovor his dead body,- with
but ono single provision, and that 1b
that 'tho express people put up a bond
of $20,000, this amount to go to his
widow in case of hla death. Tho ex
press people aro Inclined to yield to
this, though there Ib somo opposition.
Joints haB been firm In standing out for
It, und will not go on tho road unless
. the bond Ib fixed up to his satisfaction.
Clnco he became a respectable, law
abiding citizen he 'has taken very good
core of his family, and he doea not pro
pose to commence dqlng anything olae
. now. When the negotiations were first
begun bo was asked if he could ahoot
with both hands.
"Woll," ho replied, "It used to bo that
I could, and I guoas I have not forgot
ten how yet."
James has been working steadily for
soma time, but has never been able to
mako an exorbitant salary, and for that
reason would be willing to take the risk
of this venture. As one of his friends
Bays. "It is rot as much risk as he has
taken on hundreds of occasions beforo
when out on his raids. The only differ
ence would be that In this he would
havo the law on his side." St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

NAMED AP7EH FAURE.
A Ctinlttl lIuil Henrlnc tlie Kama at
th. frenrli I'rrtld.hr. I
Felix Fauro, tho president of Franco,
has sought popular favor more per
sistently and to better purpoeo than
any other chief executive of that re
public, and the l.test Blgn that suc
cess baa crowned his efforts comes
from a far-off corner of tho world, sayo
an exchange. Ho has. graciously con
sented to the request of tho cltfzcna
of a town In the New Hebrides that
bo become a godfather and lend hla
name to their tiny municipality. Slnco
the beginning of tho now year, there
fore, tho town of Faure-Vlllo has beon
In existence.
The New Hebrides are among tho
few really cannibal islands which yet
resist the cffortB of missionaries. A
peculiar feature about the colony on
the Island of Vato is that they aro a
law unto themselves and answerable
to no nation in particular for their
conduct. They are under tho protec
tion of a naval commission composed
of French and English officers.
Aa n result of this lack of govern
ment thoro are no legitimate birth
or marriages there. In Franco and
ner colonics it is essential that every
birth be registered in due form by an
officer of the government. Neither i
any marriage legal unlesa it Ib sol
emnized by the stato bb well as the
church. Since there is no government
in official existence In the3o islands,
therefore, tho French settlers havo to
content themselves with simply tho re
ligious ceremonies of marriage, which.
In the eyes of the law, should they re
turn to France, would bo no marriago
at all.
The children born In this strange
colony would also have no legal exist
ence in France and could with great
difficulty bo allowed to marry or in
herit property there, for they can
show no "acta do naissance," which is
all important in that country.
