ON Mourned Alike by Prince and Peasant Loved and Rrspectcd at Home and Abroad for Her Womanly Worth and Queenly Modesty Purity of Character, Strong Common Sense, a flotherly Nature and Simplicity of Habit Harked Characteristics of Iter Life. Loudon, Jan. 2M. The London papers pay devoted tributes to Queen Victoria's worth. Following are ex tracts: The Times: "There is but one senti ment today in the hearts of Knglish speaking people throughout the world. Their hearts are saddened at the death of the venerable sover eign who commanded not merely the loyalty, but the personal affection of countless millions. History affords but few examples of rulers who have won the deep personal affection and regard enjoyed by our beiovt d Queen. Even among those not of our blood or speech, among thone who have little that is kind to say of the British people, theiu is unstinted sympathy and warm regard for the Hrilish Queen. Were we more like her, were utir official and individual relations with foreigners carried on with more of her Cat holic urbanity and gracious iicss. who knows but that we. too. nhouhi win something of the kindlv regard testified today in every foreign capital?'' Daily Sews: ' We may be thank ful her Majesty was spared the in tliction of senile decay: that her sub-j.-cts will always be glad to think of her as one summoned from incessant labor to eternal peace." Ihiihj Graphic: "The glorious Vic torian epoch has come to an end, the story of which will live forever as one of the most fragrant and most splendid pages in human history. Pride, honor, country, throbbed I through all her strain; and shall we I praise? (Joel's praise was hers before, land on our futile laurels she looks down." ('hronicle: "The end has come to a uobie life, a brilliant reign, an epoch of our national history. Victoria's monument is already built, more costly than marble, it has sprung up in a night, more enduring than gran ite or bronze, sacred to her memory forever. High ami low, rich and poor, one with another, the .subjects of ictoria have built her monument in their hearts." Morninrf I'ust: "Wept at Osborne and Windsor on every side through out her kingdoms and empire, mourn ed by all the world, never did the de parture of one soul cause such deer feelings of pain to so many hearts.1' Express: "We will leave hergreat- ness to the unerring judgment of time, and treasure her goodness as a precious recollection of our own J to? future will analize her policy as a ruler, and compare her critically with Klizabeth. By her subjects of today her memory will be cherished more nearly' as that of a gentle lady who loved them. And so, goodbv, dear Queen." l)tiihi Mail: "She passes from life beloved and honored. We, w ho must one day follow tier can out pace up and down the shore vet awhile, and. looking toward the unknown ocean, think ol the traveller who sailed yes terday. So in faith and hope, and in the firm belief that death cannot con quer all, we bid farewell to the mitrhtv dead, and pray that the wis dom which under Providence guided her. may descend upon her son, our sovereign lord the King." St. James Gazette: "It is often true of individuals t hat they do not recognize the depth of their affection for some loved one until they are brought face to face with the probable loss. Similarly, although there never has been anv question that the Queen held a place in the hearts of her sub- ! iects such as no sovereign ever hel j before, we probably never quite real- ! lzed until the last dav or two how ! nearly she touched the personal affec j tions of each of us." 1 The same paper goes on echoing I faithfully the general tone: "We re- ; ioice to see," it savs, "that the great i qualities of our sovereign are ac I Lnowledged with appreciation by the i press of the whole world. We do not j refer to our own colonies, for happily it now goes without saving our senti I ments are theirs also It is especially gratifying to see how genuine and deep is the admira tion for the Queen expressed through out the length and breadth of the United States. When it is remem bered that her Majesty is only one generation removed from the King whose short-siirhted follv jroaded short-sighted America into the assertion and vindi cation 01 uer independence, it is touehingly iuteresting to note leader of thought in the United States pays the highest tribute to Queen Vic toria possible from anv American citizen, by comparing her character with that of George Washington. A NEW BOND WITH GERMANY. On the subject of the Gerraau Km peror, whose conduct is keenly ap preciated here, the St. James Gazette says: "We shall not readily forget the promptitude with which the head of a powerful foreign nation brushed aside the splendid ceremonial com memorating the greatness of his own royal dynasty in order to put himself among us and give proof of his re spect for, and devotion to our dying Queen. We do not, of course, mean that any political significance attaches to the presence of the Kaiser, nor even that we look for any chaDge in publio opinion in Germany, but we on our side should certainly find it easier than before, to avoid fAelinir of irritation or offense at the actions of that great kindred nation raled by the warm-hearted grand-son of of our Queen. If these two results, the mollifying of domestic differences and the promotion of a kindred feel- ing for Germany, Ehould in any de gree, be the outcome of these clays ' through which we are passing1, who can doubt that the Queen herself wouiu exceedingly rejoice mat. sucn . should be her last legacy to her i nenril?" ) t 1 LA BO CCH EKE EXALTS HEK. Henry Labouchere, in Truth, pays a remarkable tribute to Queen Victoria, ; a tribute all the more remarkable be- ! cause of his Democratic ideas and j frank criticisms of royalty. He says: : "Among all her millions of sub-j jects, there are but few who will not I mourn for her loss as for one of their ow n household. Nor will the mourn-i ers be found among her own subjects alone. It is not too much to say that ! never in the history of the world has a single death caused such universal grief. Alike in happiness and sorrow she lived a life beyond reproach, without thought of self, anil unre servedly devoted to the duties of the hour. Although occupying perhaps the proudest position ever fil led by a woman, and never wanting in a cer tain cpueenlv dignity, her tastes. labits, demeanor, and even her dress were marked by the rarest simplic- ty. "She has bpen indeed the mother of her people and as a mother, she will be mourned, in all the affairs of stale she manifested the same wisdom that inspired her private life, nor did her own country alone enjoy the fruits of her experience and sagacity. "through her kindred and decend- mts abroad her influence for many ears has been felt in Continental politics 011 the side of peace; and in at least one crisis she is known to rendered service to the whole of Europe. , Her sudden and lamentable break down was clue entirely to worry and overwork. She hail been great! v dis tressed by events in South Africa and by domestic griefs. BE STRONG. (Maltbie U. liabcoc, in S. S. Times.) strong!

ELOQUENT Seconds the Nomination of Hon. F. M Simmons for United States Senator Last Week. When the formal election of Hon. F. M. Simmons as United States Sen ator was taken up in the Senate branch of the General Assembly last week the nominating speech was made by Senator Broughton, of Wake. Senator Foushee, of Durham, who was Gen. Carr's manager during the Sena torial primary campaign last fall, seconded the nomination in a short but eloquent speech which elicted hearty applause. He spoke as fol lows: North Carolina is now upon the threshold of a new era as well as a new century. The sound of guns in Manila Bay were heard across the continent and started a new epoch, upon the century's dawn. Such changes in the life of a State or a nation bring in its wake a change in leaders. New times produce new leaders and North Carolina may well be proud that the revolution wrought in this State has brought with it a leader worthy of the high and noble cause. The man whose nomination the speaker has the honor to second for one of the highest positions in the gift of American citizens is equip ped and qualified to bear the respon sibilities of such leadership, a man of the people, he has used those oppor tunities which God has given him and he possesses marked ability. His career is an inspiration; in no country in the Old World could a boy with such an humble beginning rise by his own efforts and determination to a position so lofty as that of United States Senator in our Republic. When the Gauls went to Rome, then the mistress of the world, and beheld the august body, the Roman Senate, they thought surely that was the home of the gods. The Senate of the ancient Romans was the seat of learn ing and of dignity and the whole populace reverenced the body and helct it almost sacred. The scepter of Minerva has not y-et departed from our Senate of the United States. One has but to listen to the exposition of jurisprudence by Senator Hoar, the eloquence of Senator Thurston and the irresistible logic of Senator Mor gan to be impressed with the ability and dignity of our highest legislative bodv. Mr. Simmons is a man worthy of a seat in that chamber. A March which marks the election of a United States Senator is ever an eventful time in North Carolina. Six years ago the matchless Ransom was retired and was succeeded by a man who had suddenly risen to power; risen, but by what ignoble methods! A man who had beleagued the discon tented, the misguided, with the ne groes and thus achieved a temporary victory by putting together a class of white9 and negroes, forming a union of forces which God had said should never be united. But now that man must retire, and his worthy successor is nominated in behalf of the man hood of the State, for the nobte women, in behalf of all that Is noblest and best in grand old North Carolina If troubled with a weak digestion, belch ing, sour stomach, or if you feel dull after eating, try Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.

Speech of Acceptance Delivered Be fore the North Carolina General As sembly Last Week Profoundly Ap preciative of the High Honor Con ferred Upon lilm fir. Simmons Speaks With Deep Feeling and Earnestness Realizing the Duties and Responsibilities Which it Carries Following is the speech delivered by Hon. Furnifold M. Simmons ob t the occasion of his formal electron as United States Senator by the General j Assembly of North Carolina last week 'It has been said, and truthfully said, I think, that the art of success ful public speaking consists in saying what is necessary and appropriate, and no more. "This rule, if correct, is simple enough in itself; the difficulty arises in successfully applying and follow ing it, and happy is the man who can do it. "Whatever may be proper to be said on the occasion which has called nie before you, there is one propo sition about which I am sure we all will- agree, and that is that this is neither the time nor the occasion for the discussion of governmental measures or questions of party poli tics and policies. I will, therefore, be excused, I am sure, for refusing to talk war in the presonce of Hanni bal, or politics and statesmanship in the presence of Talleyrand. "You have just conferred a great and distinguished honor upon one of your fellow citizens; an honor ac- a ' counted by many, if not by ali, the greatest honor which a State can con fer upon one of its citizens; and you have invited that fortuuate citizen to appear before you that he may have an opportunity to express his grati tude to you and to the people, and give his solemn pledge of fidelity; fidelity on the one hand to the State, its people and its laws, and on the other hand to the general Govern ment, its Republican institutions and our Christian civilization. "In the whole course of a man's life there comes to him but few occas ions when it is proper and lit that in a public speech he speaks almost ex clusively of himself his feelings, his emotions, his motives, his purposes, and his resolves. That occasion has come to me today. If I should attempt to epitomize and condense into a single sentence all that I want to say to you today, I would say: I want to express, but I have not the gift of lauguage to adequately express my gratitude for the high honor that has been conferred upon me, and my earnest, yearning wish, is to well and truly discharge the duties of the office to which you have elected me. "It has been said that of all the emotions of the human heart, that of gratitude is the "most difficult to ex press in words. The consummate, and all but universal genius of Shake speare enabled that great master of the Euglish tongue to express with precision almost every thought of the human mind, however subtle, and almost every emotion of the human heart, however sensitive and delicate. But neither the genius of Shakespeare, nor that of any other mere man, has ever yet been equal to the task of adequately expressing the feelings that move and swell and sway a heart filled to overflowing with gratitude. No being that ever walked the face of this earth, save the Master alone, could have done that, and it was not His to express gratitude to man, but to receive gratitude from man. All that a poor mortal situ ated as I am today can do is to un cover and say simply: I am grateful, sincerely, profoundly, unfeignedly rrr q 1 1 f 11 1 6' " "And so it has come to me, gentle men of the Assembly', that; 1 stand before you today, as since the Gth of November last, I have stood before the Democratic hosts of North Caro lina, with a heart full of appreciation and gratitude, and yet, by reason of the limitation of mv language, help less to convoy to you the pleutitude and power of that feeling "What you have done yesterdav and todav in the matter of electing me to the United States Senate is but a ratification of the will of the people expressed at the polls; yet it was necessary proceeding; a necessary act to give validity and effectiveness to that will. We may nominate a Sena tor as we did in North Carolina last year by popular vote, but, under our system, he can be elected onlv bv the Legislature. "For the part which you have taken in elevating me to this great office, an office which for thirty years has been the acme, and which I rreatlv fear will for many years to come have to remain the acme of a Southern man's ambition. I wish to make to you my sincere acknowledgments, and as I cannot speak to the people and thank tbem as I am speaking to vou and thanking vou, I entreat you when jou go to your homes that you will convey to your constituents my profound acknowledgments. T have said that the human lang- nage was unequal to adequately ex? press the feelings of a grateful heart, but, while we caDnot fully express this feeling in words, we can embody it, we can express it, we can illustrate it by our acts and in our live. We can live it. It is my most earnest desire, and I fervently and reverent ly pray the great good Father to give me strength and courage and wisdom to so discharge the hiyrh duties and responsibilities of this office, that when my term shall have expired and I shall have been retired to private life, the whole people of North Caro lina, irrespective of party, will with one voice say: "By his strenuous efforts to serve and promote our in terest, and do his duty, the man has at least shown his appreciation of the confidence and trust we have reposed in him. It is my equally earnest wish and prayer, that if. peradven ture, I shall be so unhappy as to fall below the just expectations of the people, that they will ascribe my de linquency to no fault of mine, but to the limitations which nature has im posed upon mv humble capacities. "Gentlemen of the Assembly, I do! not regard a term in the United States Senate as implying six years of ease, leisure and luxury. To my mind, according to my conception of duty, as I see it, it will mean to me at least six years of study, of work and of watchfulness; six years of study that I may better understand and better advocate and defend the interest of the people; six years of work and watchfulness that I may t' belter promote and advance that interest". If I understand my self, if I know the impulses of my heart from my earliest youth to this good day and hour, I have known no higher ambition than the desire to well and truly serve mv country and fellowmen. The thing which oppresses me at this moment is a sincere diffi dence in my ability to rise to the re quirements of the great office to which you have elected me. I feel my own weakness and insufliciences for its duties, I recognize my inex perience, I know mv inadequate equipment, and so feeling and recog- nizingand knowing, I shall enter upon the duties of this office with a feeling of profound diffidence, but, thank God, with a feeling of hopefulness and trust. Hopeful, that by dili gence and perseverence in study, in reflection and in work I may, in due season, measurably at least, prepare myself for these great duties, and in the end rise to the full heitrht, and measure of the requirements; of trustfulness that, if after all is done I shall be so unfortunate as to fail to attain to this consummation by mv honest and strenuous efforts to do the best of which I am capable, I may at least win the confidence and re spect of a people who have honored me so highly, and whose respect and confidence I prize far above the pomp and circumstance of office and lower or ease, and comfort, and os tentation, and riches. "Today, by the electee of the peo ple, and your gracious execution of that decree, the mantle which has fallen from the broad and puissant shoulders of Jarvis, Ransom and Vance has been cast upon me. I do not deny that this great honor has tilled my heart witlr joy, but I beg you to believe me when I tell you that it is a joy mixed with a recogniz ing sense of the weight of the respon sibilities that it-has brought to me. "For this reason, while this is one of the sweetest hours of my life it is also one of the most solemn. I accept the office which has been bestowed upon me with joy, and I accept the responsibilities which it carries with due solemnity. "I do not pretend to any superior virtue; I frankly confess I have my private ambitions, but I want now in conclusion to pledge to you and through you to pledge to the people iu the most solemn manner that in the discharge of the duties of this office I will subordinate every con sideration of personal comfort, per sonal aggrandizement, and personal ambition to the high and sacred duties committed to my care. Rev erently and humbly I ask strength from on high to enable me well and truly to keep and perform this solemn covenant.1" MAKING KISSES. Two Methods Suggested Take Your Choice. Iu its "Hints to Housekeepers" de partment the Philadelphia Record gives the following recipe for making kisses: "Kisses are made by beating the whites of three eggs until they are stiff and ffaky; then sift overtheeggs three-quarters of a cup of powdered sugar. Mix the sugar in lightly with a knife. Cover a board with paper, drop the mixture on it by spoonfuls, and place in a hot closet or oven, with the door open, for half an hour. Then remove from the oven and let dry one hour. To make them suc cessfully a moderate heat is re- quired." The individual who conducts ' Mau on the Corner" column of Germantown Independent-Gazette The the de- dares the above is wrong and sub- mits the following: A bachelor friend, after reading the above, rises to remark that in an ex perience of some years he has had no occasion to use eggs in the business or to mix in any sugar. Therels, he says, no use for a knife and fork, the oven isn't in it, and the door should be shut rather than open, with the curtains down. In fact, he doesn't like the recipe, and offers one of his own, which he thinks is much more satisfactory. Now, then, listen: "Take one girl.

Wedding bells have been ringing aronnd here for some time. Their music always excites the good people and everybody talks about the coming nuptials. Mothers, wives and daugh ters are specially interested for it is the bride who has most at stake and is about to surrender everything to a. her lover. But hope is stronger than fear and the women all rejoice in it and wish the good work to go on. They dissect and discuss every phase of the new relationship and crowd the church or the home where the knot is to be tied with anxious and eager interest. The bridal trousseaus and wedding gifts have; especial con sideration and are carefully inspect ed. What a difference between man and woman about such things. What a difference between mv wife and I. It was of small concern to me whether the bride's apparel cost a thousand dollars or u hundred. Just so she was dressed in good taste and wore a few pretty ornaments was enough for me. I like to see a pretty womau dressed in a way that you can tell pretty well how much of her is clothes and how much is tlcsh and blood. Padding and petticoats may fool a man in a new acquaintance, "Mint a nome girt cant .tool auyuotiy. we see them ride and walk and stand up and sit down and run around and we can measure them like David Hani 111 measured a horse. The modern-style of dress is much more pleasing to men than the old style of hoop skirls and bustles. Nothing is lacking now but to shorten up their walking frocks so that they won't drag behind and sweep up the sidewalks with all their filth of cigar stumps and quids and bacteria and expectorated germs of consumption. When I see a girl's skirt dragging along I suspect that she is pigeon-toed or box-ankled and wants to hide it. My wife never wore a dress that way iu her life for she wears a number two shoo and steps like a deer. But it is a woman's nature to love ornament. She cannot help it and it is no sin. John Weslev tried to cure her of it in the discipline, but he couldn't; discipline about ornaments and jewelry and other finery is a dead letter. I have suspected that maybe he was .too hard on his wife about such things and that is why she quit bitu. " What a miserable time those women nau 111 the days ot the run tans when a pretty girl had to wear a plain black dress to church; a home made straw hood shaped like a coal scuttle on her head, and not an ear ring nor a breast pin nor even a string of glass beads around her neck. The Creator adorned the earth with flow ers and studded the heavens with stars. He gave the birds their beau tiful plumage and taught tlim to sing for our pleasure. There are diamonds in the mines and pearls in the ocean and of course they were made for women. We men care noth ing about such things. I wouldn't give ten dollars for a buhel of them. but my wife goes into rapture over them and would give every thing she has got for them, except her children and may be me. Woman is a curious and peculiar creation. I have been studying them for sixty years and don't fully under stand them yet. They arc very near to us and very dear to u. but very unlike in their devotional nature; their love of the beautiful; their long suffering under trial an 1 adversity. Thev go willingly and eage rly to the marriage altar when they know that theirs is all the peril an I theirs to be all the pain and care and grief that inevitably come to a wife and mother. T have pondered over all this and if I was a woman and had only a nin's instincts and emotions I would not marry any man upon earth. It is the God-given maternal instinct that per suades and forces a woman to many. She will launch hrr baat upn the stream and take her c hances to jump the waterfalls. She will many even against her judgment and the plead ings of her friends. She does not realize the force of this maternal in stinct, but it impels and controls her. My little granddaughters are peif.-ct-ly happy with tl.eir dolls. They play with them by day and sleep witii them by night. A little four-year-old said to me last night, "Ganpa. don't take dolly away from me till I get fa-st asleep." Little boys care nothing about dolls. They want balls and drums and firecrackers and guns something that will make a noise. A man loves a woman and marries her, but there is not a particle of paternal , .

I ! s a 1 U V. ' -justenouga to inuem iuC estate. ... When that decays everything else decays. A town or city or a State without children a natural comple ment of children is on the down grade. To arrest or impede the com ing of children i-s a violation of the law of God. The earth must be peopled by hon orable marriage. Milton savs," "Hail wedded Love true source of human I offspring." And again he says of marriage. "It is the sum of earthly bliss." Oilier cynical old poets make sport of it and call it a "lotterv." An institution wheru tlio u ho nru out wsh t e, , tl are in wish to get out." Some of our modern poets ask the question, "Is marriage a failure?" and cUm-uss it iu prose and poetry. Well, suppose that it is, what is to be done about it? Who is going to stop it? How shall the earth lie peopled when we all die off? What kind of incubators do they propose to substitute? Emerson says, "All the world loves a lover," and that is why the good people of every community flock to witness a marriageceremony. Every body loves the happy couple then and wisiies them joy. Will he be kind-to her? and there is a smothered thought in every mother's mind. Dr. (Jains, of the Agnes Scott Insti tute, gave us a discourse the other day on the importance of educating our girls. It was deeply entertaining and convincing. How conies it that six times as much money is invested in giving our boys a high education as there is for our girls? Who are our educators at home and iu our pub lic schools? Sity-si per cent, of all the teachers in Georgia are women and they should have the best oppor tunities to fit them for their oea t ion. Who teaches the children until they can go to school? The mothers the patient, loving mothers all over the land, while the fathers are in the field, the counting room, the work shop, or maybe at the club or the bil liard table. Why should the female colleges be neglected by the State? Who are doing the most good in the school room, the church, the Sunday school or by the fireside in establish ing and perpetuating morality and virtue among the; children? Is it the boys who come from college or the girls who cannot go, but have to be content with such education as they can get at home? Well, the good doctor gave us food for thought and when he closed I felt a wish that I was rich so that I might enable every good girl to get a higher education than she can get at home. Whe n will we have a Legislature that will have heart enough to give to woman ail of her lights? The mar riageable girls ought to form a trust ami vow to marry nobody until their rights were recognized. If it wasn't for th maternal instinct they would. 151 LL" AHP. ; BRITAIN'S NOBLE QUEEN. The Secret of Her Hold Upon the Affection of Her Subjects Her L:x alted and Womanly Virtues Which Ever Command Recognition and Ad miration. ( iSaltiinorc Sun. ) The people of Great Hritain ami of the British colonies mourn the death of a sovereign to whom they were more eleeiilv attached than to anv monarch who ever ru!cl over them, and in their sorrow they have the re spect and sympathy of the world. The secret of Queen Victoria's hobl upon the? affection of her subjects lav in the purity of her character ami in her exemplification of those womanly virtues which have ever commanded recognition and admiration. All the world, the phrase goes, loves a lover."' May it nol also be said that ail the? world repcets a good woman, and that it was t!.e goodness'1 of the ' iue;en rather than her brilliancy, her diplomacy, her knowledge! of state craft er any distinctively regal quality 1 which secured for he"r the, esteem of mankind generally? ; "luess" has i no', often been a eli.ir.u-l erist io of the ' world's rule;--, e-pei-inlly of royalty.
