Trying to Prevent Greece From Raising a. Big lfow. BERLIN, July 13.-—The members of the cabinet have nearly all gone on their sum- mer vacations. Prince Hchenlohe, the chancellor, will spend his holiday at his estate of Aussee, upper Austria. Before leaving Berlin Emperor William expressed to Prince Hohenlche his high regard and great satisfaction at what has been accomplished in the reichstag and in foreign politics through him. The rela- tions between the emperor and Prince Hohenlohe are at present most cordial. The prince is now occupied with the Cretan question and is devoting his best efforts to prevent Greece from creating international difficulties. The chancellor’s health is at present good, but it is known that he has made his continuance in office after next .5311 dependent upon his majesty’s consent to military court referm and so has had the Bronsart bill drafted for introduction in the reichstag. But it still lies in the emperor’s private military cabinet, where General von Hasnke, on whose judgment the emperor greatly relies, wishes it to re- main. ' Important Bills. The bundesrath this year reconvenes probably on Sept. 10. There is no doubt that the margarine bill as passed by the reichstag, which would make the imports of American margarine impossible, will be rejected by that body. One of the most important bills before the reichstag this fall provides for the building of several small railroads in Ger- man southwest Africa. They will be built entirely by British companies. The bill also provides for the construction of a big road in German. east Africa from Dares Salem and Bagamoyo via Tabora to Vic- toria and Tanganyika lakes, altogether about 1,800 kilometers. A syndicate has been formed by the Deutsche bank, the German East Africa company and the co- lonial department to raise the 80,000,000 marks required. The empire guarantees the interest. Another important bill provides for an increase in the strength of the navy. The emperor insists that a much larger num- ber of fast cruisers must be built. The fall maneuvers next month will be made to de onstrate the necessity in this. and will al 0 show whether it is desirable to build more large ironclads. Thirty Prussian government experts. are making a circular tour of south Germany to study the recent improvements in fac- tories, mines, etc., for the benefit of the workmen. Prince Bismarck is engaged in arrang- ing the manuscript of letters from mon- archs and princes in his possession, which will be published after his death. Books Seized. The police throughout Germany during the past week have been searching. the book stores for copies of two pamphlets ascribed to Dr. Fritz Friedmann, entitled “The Revolution From Above” and “The Von Kotze Case.” In Lubeck all the copies were confiscated, and several thou- sands Were seized in this city, Cologne and Kcnigsberg. A sensation was caused on Wednesday by the suicide, by shooting himself with his rifle, of a guard before the palace at Potsdam. A love affair was the motive for the suicide. The conviction on the charge of forgery of Herman Friedmann, director of the Rhenish-Westphalian bank, and his sub- sequent sentence to six years’ imprison- ment, has thrown light upon a big usury scandal involving 17 large Berlin and Hanover banks. The state attorney is preparing to prosecute them. 'Trichinosis is rampant among the sol- diers of the One Hundred and Four-El regi- ment at Chemnitz.‘ Fifty-six of them are in the hospital and 14 have died as the re- sult of eating pork of German or Bohe- mian raising. The returns show that all the exports from America during the past quarter have decreased, excepting sugar. . The Frankfort Zeitung states that the czar and czarina will soon start for Kiefi‘, and that they will go from there to Vienna 4 and Darmstadt, meet the emperors and will afterward go to London and Copen- hagen on board the czar’s new yacht, the Standard.

The announcement that Mrs. Alfred Kayne. better‘ known" to the theatrical for the purpose of opening an engage- ment in grand opera at the Covent Gar- den Theatre in London, was a surprise to her acquaintances, who thought that her stage career had ended with her marriage. ‘~ It recalls the sharp rivalry for floral honors between her and Lillian‘Russell several years ago, when they were sing- ing in the same company in Boston. Dr. Kayne, who enjoyed a large income, had been attracted by Miss Claire, and he gave evidence of his admiration by sending a. magnificent basket of flowers to her over the footlights every evening. Miss Russell was annoyed, and finally rebelled. She declared she wouldn’t continue her engagement unless the management prohibited the handing of flowers over the footlights. Her request was granted, and it was said at the time that Dr. Kayne at once hired a vacant store opposite the thea- tre and filled the windows with choice flowers, labelling them for Miss Claire. She retired from the stage a few weeks later, and was married to Dr. Kayne. The Value of a Second Prize. ‘ "They know how much half exceeds the whole,” wrote Hesiod. Perhaps the following anecdote sets forth the mean- ing of the poet’s saying: ' At an agricultural show two prizes were ,awarded to the churns—a first and a second. Three years after, the exhibitor who had received the second prize, meeting the judge of awards, said to him: ‘ Just see the difference between us; the Winner went home, and on the strength of his success kept drunk for a fortnight, and his business is nearly ruined. I went home, determined to succeed, and be at the t0p of the tree. I now have over 200 men at work, and other dairy appliances go all over the world.” THIS GIRL WANTED A WHEEL. But the Sale was Postponed Because of Colored Frames. She was a pretty girl, and when she entered the bicycle score she wore a pleased, innocent expression as she gazed around at the machines with the gentle air of one who has found a new chamber of horrors or curiosities. The salesman was unsuspecting and smiled his best. ’ “I want to buy a. bicycle, please,” she said casually, in the same tone she would have used to buy a spool of thread. This unbusinesslike method of hers left him gasping—if he had been wise he would have dragged out his pencil and order book and said, “Yes’m. What number, please? It will be up tomorrow,” and finished the sale on the spot. But he was not wise. - He scrambled to get back on the beaten path of miles methods. “Do yOu ride?" he asked, as she waited sweetly. “Oh, no," she answered. “I just thought today it would be nice, so I came after the wheel.” ' -' ‘ “Do'you want a drop frame or a dia- mond?" he ventured, mildly. _The pretty girl looked puzzled. “I didn’t say anything about diamonds,” she correctedma triflle severely. “And I should think a frame that dropped would be inconvenient—can’t you fas- ten them up?” ‘ ' The salesman coughed softly and scowled at the man in the gallery who was sympathizing dramatically with him. “We can fix it for you,” he mur- mured. “No,” as he observed her eyes light on a dark blue wheel, that“ would not do for you. The gear is too high.” - - “Why don’t you let it down, then?” she asked, interestedly. “Where is it? I don’t see it.” The salesman retired behind a pile of sheltering machines and had it out with himself. When he emerged he led two wheels and talked himself black in the face explaining their excellencies and differences. ' She had sat looking politely at him all this time, and when he stopped ,to recover breath she smiled courteously. “How interesting!" she murmured. “But there’s no use of you telling me any more, because it might just as well be Sanskrit. I can’t see a bit of dif- ference in wheels—they all look alike to me the same as boats. Why do they have so many different names?” The salesman looked into her deep blue eyes and calmed his turbulent mind. ”I really don‘t know,” he said. “It seems to be a fad of the manufac- turezs.” “And I suppose it gives some one em- ployment, thinking up names in, charitably. The salesman grew desperate, and fingered his pencil. "Which one shall I send up?” he asked, as a gentle re- minder. She was plunged ii thought. “I had no idea they painted them in so many different colors,” she said, half to her- self. “I’ll have to think it over’. You see, I haven’t decided what I’ll get for a bicycle suit, and, of course, the wheel must match it. I’ll let you know.” She floated out—New York Herald. world as Attalie Claire, has gone abroad , COVERED WITH HUMOR When I was thirteen. ears old I began to have sore eyes and ears, on from m eats a humor . spread.
