Duchess of Northumberland was
! associated with her mother in her
I nurture and education. The Prin
j cess Victoria became accomplished
lin music, drawing, and the conti
-1 nental languages; and acquired a
| Know icdge of some of the sciences,
I particularly botany. Her father
| having belonged to the whigs, her
j political education was naturally
derived from the members of that
party,.and to Viscount Melbourne
belongs the credit of having thor

which had lasted 123 years between
the crowns of England and Han

was proclaimed June 21, 1837, and
crowned at Westminister June 28,
1838. She found on her accession
Viscount Melbourne at the head of
the government and during his
premiership and with the Cordial
assent of her subjects, the . young
queen was married at St. James

Prince of Saxe-Coburg

DUPED FRAZER’S FATHER.
Bold Scheme of an Atlanta Swind
ler Succeeds.
Atlanta, Jan. 20. Mr. N. H.
Frazer, of Union Springs, Ala.,
whose son. Bass, was kidnapped
several weeks ago while a student
at the Technological school here,
has apparently lost SSOO by a de
coy letter sent him.
Mr. Frazer received a letter stat
ing that if he would place SSOO in
gold, the amount he offered for his
son, in a sack with a peck of pota
toes and proceed along the road
near the United States federal
prison, several miles from this city,
he would be met by a negro, who
would ash: “Massa, has you got
dem potaters?” He was to deliver
the sack and its contents to the
negro and his son would appear at
a hotel in this city looking for his
father at an early hour Sunday
morning.
The letter was signed “Packard,”
mailed i 1 Atlanta, dated January
-16, and the instructions were min
ute and specific. Threats in case
of exposure and failure to cariy
out the instructions were frequent
ly made in it.
Mr. Frazer’s son, a brother of the
kidnapped boy, carried out the
plan of the letter, met the negro as
arranged, gave the money and
potatoes Saturday night. - ; ;
This morning he was at the hotel
mentioned and has remained there
all day, but Bass P'razer has not ap
peared and no trace of him or the
persons who received the SSOO can
be found.

• HOW HER REIGN BEGAN-
Young Queen Aroused From Sleep
to be Notified.
I *
i It was when a girl of eighteen
that \ letoria was awakened one
| morning from slumder and told
that King George IV. died and
that she was queen of England.
Those who came to Kensing to in
form the princess were the arch
bishop of Canterbury and the lord
chamberlain. They were shown
into one of the lower rooms of the
palace, where they seem to have
beer. f->rg< t.cu.
After a time they rang the bell
and desired that the attendant of
the Princess Victoria might be sent
to inform her that they-requested
an audience on important business.
There was another delay and an
other ringing to inquire the cause.
The attendant was summoned, and
stated that the princess was in such
a sweet sleep that she would not
venture to disturb her.
•‘Even her sleep must give way
to the business of state upon which
we come/’ they said. ‘Go and
awake.”
A few minutes later the princess
entered the room in a loose white
night-gown and shawl, her night
cap thrown off and her hair falling
upon her shoulders, her feet in
slippers; yet, in spite of this sum
mary attire she was perfectly col
lected aud dignified.
The archbishop and the lord
chamberlain bent the knee, and
the former, in a few words, inform
ed her that the king was dead and
that she was queen. For a mo
ment there was silence, and then
the young queen, turning to the
archbishop, with tears in her eyes,
said:
T ask your prayers on my be
half,” and they knelt and prayed
together.
The next day the meeting of the
first council was held, and she was
formally proclaimed queen of Great
Britain and Ireland from St. James’
palace. Amid the thunder of can
non and the cheers of the multitude
she apnea red at the window of the
presence chamber, supported by
Lord Melbourne and Lord Lans
downe. She looked pale, * and,
while the official announcement
proclaiming the death of the king
and het accession was being read,
she wept.
Thus was her reign inaugurated.
HARRIS OF CARTERSVILLE
Begs Frazer to Consult Medium
Harkins About His Brother.
At anta Nows.
Spirits came very near revealing
the whereabouts of Bass Frazer
through the tin horns of Raymond
Harkins this morning. What sec
rets might have been told by the
ghostly will never be known—
Harkins was on a jag.
With impatience and anxiety
plainly stamped upon every linea
ment, a gentleman giving his name
as Harris and his home as Carters
ville, called at The News office
yesterday afternoon enquiring
where C. H. Frazer, the brother
of Bass, who made the deal with
the crooks Saturday might be
found. He was told that the
young gentleman was stopping at
the Williams house.
This morning this Mr. Harris
who had such great aid to offer
Frazer, appeared at the Williams
honse and met the young man.
Enthusiastically he explained to
Mr. Frazer that he had a friend
who could dispel the mystery of
Bess’ wtiereabouts as the mist of
night flees before the ray of the
morning sun.
“He lives at 102 West Peachtree
street,” said the man who was to
lead to the solution of the mystery.
“He is a medium and the spirits
from beyond the grave, who know
all things will tell you under his
guildance where your brother may
be found. Will you go with me'”
“I dont believe in that much blit
I’ll go with you for curiosity’s
sake,” said Frazer.
The two then went to the home
of the tin horn medium on West-
Peaehtree street, where Harris, of
Cattersville, : was to get Harkins to
solve the riddle of Bass disappear
ance.
But if the spirits of Harkins
know where Bass Frazer is the
knowledge remains locked in their
own eternal bosoms. Harkins,
who was again in the toils of the
law through liquor, on last night,
was still on a jag and would not at
tempt to summon the voices from
spiritland.

Mrs. Nations and Companions
Wreck Kansas Saloons.
Wichita, Kan., Jan. 21. —Mrs.
Carrie Nation came back to
Wichita today, alter her recent in
carceration under a smallpox quar
antine, and the net result of ten
minutes of her work this afternoon
are two wrecked saloons, the pieces
of which are being sold tonight for
souvenirs.
Mrs. Nation was assisted by
Mrs. Julia Evans, Mrs. Lu<'\
hoif, of the Topeka Women’
Christiin Temperance Union or
ganization. With axes
under their cloaks they entered
John Burns’ saloon, on Douglas
avenue, and did not leave a com
plete piece of glass or working slot
machine in the place. All show
cases, both for liquors and cigars,
as well as the plate glass windows
and doors were broken. With
lightning speed they ran to John-
Herrig’s saloon and had everything
in front of the room, including
the plate glass windows broken,
when he appeared with a revolver,
placed it at Mrs. Nation’s head
and said he would blow out her
brains if she did not desist. She
yielded before this pointed revol
ver and with her companions ran
to the Carey hotel bar, where she
made her first attack on the sa
loons of Wichita three weeks ago.
There three policemen met her ana
she struck at Detective Sutton
with a poker. He shoved her
aside and a youth struck him in
the face. A policeman struck the
youth anu knocked him down.
The police then overpowered Mrs.
Nation and her friends and took
them to the city prison, followed
by 2,000 people. Mrs. Evans’ lit
tle daughter pushed her way
through the crowd, screaming and
begged for the release of her moth
er, bu| the policemen weie deaf to
her entreaties.
Chief of Police Neudbon dis
charged the prisoners after they
reached the jail and is heartily
condemned by the citizens. They
made him a promise not to wreck
any more saloons before noon to
morrow.

The Soldiers’ Home is expected

Muscogee, I. TANARUS., January 22. —
Washington authorities have been
requested to send fedtral troops in
to the Creek country to quell the
uprising of the full-bloods, known
as the Snake bands, who are creat
ing depredations west of Eufaula
and threatening the lives of both
the whites and the neutral Indians.
The Indians threaten.to finally en
ter the towns and kill, and Chief
Mekko has sent & message to Pres
ident McKinley. The whites are
arming and bloodshed is feared.
LTnited States Marshal Bennett
sent twenty deputies and ten In
dian polioe to the scene, but they
were met by so fierce a fusilade
that they were compelled to ret're.
Oue of the posse named McNac
was captured by the Indians.and
it is feared that they will take his
life. Because of the pressure for
protection for tfie whites,,Marshal
Bennett and Indian Agent Shoen
felt sent a message to tlie Wash
ington officials requesting the fed
eral troops to the number ot £OO be
sent them. They stated that it
would be sure death for the depu

fere again.
Marshal Bennett and Agent
Shoenfelt will, as soon as they
hear from Washington, join the
troops, invade the Indian camps
and endeavor to put the leader un
der arrest.
THE CREEKS THREATEN
that after they have cleaned out all;
the interior whites tfiey' will visit
the various towns in the Creek na
tion, destroy them by fire and kill
the inhabitants. They have threat
ened to kill Chief Pleasant Porter,
and any of the members of the
Dawes commission that attempt to
interfere with them. Great fear is
felt for some of the commission,
who are surveying and alloting
lands in that section pf the country.
