COCONINO SUN. THE QUEEN'S WILL. MEETS LADY CUNARD. Has Been Opened But Will Nerer Be Made Public DUpoaUloB of Her Intiaenae Estate dan Only Be Gaeeaed. At-Thoacat Prlacesa Beatrice Will Be I'rlnclpal Beaeflelarjr. Queen Victoria's will has been opened 'nnd examined by the duly 'constituted authorities, but nothing will ever be made public officiary as to the provi sions of the instrument or the amount of her private fortune. It is known that the queen made a will early in her reign, which was re pcatidly n'.tered and added to as chil dren and rrnmlcliildrcn were born, and as her estates rapidly adanced in value. Tliis proceeded until ISflG, when her majebty decided to have an entirely new document drawn, and with great personal enre this was accompli.' lud. Those In a position to make any tart of a guess ns to the provisions of the queen's will declare thntl'rinctis Iteat rice, widow of Prince Henry of Ilatten herg, will be the principal beneficiary. She is the govcrnorof the Isle of Wight, and will probably inherit Osborne house and the whole estate surround ing it. Then the duke of Connaught, and his sons, who have been great fa vorites with Victoria, will receive a large portion of the fortune. The duke will probably become the owner of Bal moral and the Scottish property. The grandchildren who are expected to receive the largest bequests are the two children of Victoria's youngest son, the former duke of Albany. The queen's second daughter, Princess Christian of Schleswig-Ho".-steln, is not rich, nnd It is expected that she and, her four children will be liber ally provided for. Edward VII., who will be amply pro vided for by the country, nnd the duke of, York, who comes into the duchy of Cornwall, and will be the prince of Wales, will probably not be sharers in the late queen's private fortune. New York Policeman Cornea to Grief Before the Owner of S-teasn- fcoat Line. ' Lady Bache Cunard, of London, h as had her first experience with a New York policeman and she did not come out second best. The policeman ex plains it by saying tnere never would have been any trouble if he had known anything about it before and he hopes he will be able to keep his detail to the pier. Lady Cunard went down to the Cunard Line pier to meet her husband nnd little daughter, who were passengers on the Umbria, just arriving. As the vessel was being warped into the dock she pressed for ward eagerly and the act caught the eye of an elderly policeman. "Ye'll have to get back,-" he shout ed at her, but her ladyship simply drew herself together and stared haughtily at him. He approached and the noblewoman became more haughty. "Fellow," she said freezingly, "what do you mean by such impertinence?" "Impertinence, is it?" was the an swer. "Move back, nowl Don't be trjing to bluff." "I shall take your number, officer. I am.Lady Bache Cunard." "Ho! Ho! Ho. Lady Cunard own the Cunard line, I suppose? Move back!" Just then a high official of the line approached, doffed his hat and bowed. The policeman shivered and his eyes began to project. "Is it Lady Cunard?" he whispered, in an awe-struck voice. "Sure," was the cold answer. "Do she really own the Cunard line?" "Most of it," was the answer. "Will you kindly take me to the end of the pier and kick me overboard?" For the rest of the stay there he guarded her ladyship so zealously that when a man turned around to stare at 1.1m he threatened to hit him with his stick 'and arrest him for disorderly conduct.

San Praaelseo Knla-hta Templara Ask President MeKlnley to Meet with Them. Capt A. J. Humphrey visited the ex ecutive mansion, Washington, the other day as the special envoy of California commandery No. 1, Knights Templars of Sun Francisco to personally present to President McKInley an invitation from the commandery to meet with it upon his visit to the Pacific coast the coming spring. The card of invitation which he hand ed to Sir Knight McKInley rivals in splendor anything of the kind that was ever presented to a president. It is a solid gold plate 3, by S'2 inche and about one-eighth of an inch in thick ness. In the upper right-hand corner is an enameled maltese cross, with the usual insignia of the order, having in the center a diamond of about one carat weight. The "card" is beautifully en graved.

The title of princess royal, borne by the Empress Frederick of Germany before her marriage, .s not given to the eldest daughter of English sover eigns, but only to the first child should it happen to be a girl. Mary Clair, aged five years, died at Williamsport, Pa., the other day under peculiar circumstances. During the past two weeks the child has been suf fering with eczema, which developed into hemorrhage of the skin virtual ly sweating blood. In the usual cases of eczema the pa tient weeps a watery substance from the skin nnd seldom does death occur. In this case the weeping was of blood. The little one b'.cd for an hour and a half nnd then became so exhausted that dissolution occurred. The attend ing physicians say the case is a rarity and no reference can be found to it in the medical books. Debt of London.
