Cheers For the E1—1—1peror Omitted at
the Opening of the Reichstag.

A LIVELY SESSION LIKELY.

lllany Bills That \Vill Cause Sharp De-

bates—Questions Fogthe Government
to Answer-Naval firmament—Sil-
ver Fight to Be Continued.

BERLIN, Nov. iii—The reichstag met on
Tuesday after a recess of ~nearly four
months. The rcassembling of the house
was a very quiet affair, the attendance was
thin, there was no enthusiasm, and even
the customary cheers for the emperor were
omitted by the president.

The bill providing for reform in mili-
tary procedure will cause sharp debates, as
the Radicals and Socialists have collected
a mass of evidence showing that the pro-
jected reform is only a half hearted measo
ure, which ought to be much more thor-
ough and liberal.

The bills to increase the navy and for
rearming the artillery may also lead to
lively scenes, and them are unmistakable
indications that the Centrists, who fur~
nished the government with its necessary
‘majority last winter and spring, will not
be so docile this session. They claim that

. the government has not kept its promises
- .made to them a year ago, and the tone of

the Centrist press is again almost hostile
to the government, so much so that the
editor of the Centrist Tageblatt of Treves
has been arrested for lese majeste, and the
paper has been seized.

‘ , On the other hand, aunion of all the

Radical and Liberal factions, including
the Socialist wing, for parliamentary pur-
poses is being attempted. Professor Quidde
of Munich is now making a tour of Ger«
many with this object, and meetings with
Herren Richter, Bamburger, Sonneman
Singer and Rickert have occurred.
Attacks Upon the Government.

The interpellations of the government
are expected to create much excitement in
the lcichstag. The Cent1 ists’ attack upon
Piince Bismarck, hea ded by Herr Lieber,
will be fierce,and the Radical interpellation
on dueling and the Bruesewitz afiair will
also stir 11p considerable feeling, as mili-
tarism in high circles and undue military
prerogatives will be fully ventilated. Her~
ren Richter, Bebel and Singer intend to
speak, and Prince Hohcnlohc, the imperial
chancellor, is expected back from his estate
at Posen in order to reply.

The government will also shortly be
asked to give a distinct statement of Gcr~
many ’5 position in regard to the Turkish
question and as to whether she is in accord
with the other powers.

Throughout tl 10 semiofi‘icial and con
scrvativec press runs an advocacy of the so
called zampfzoll, or war tariff, empower-
ing the federal government to apply the
tariff whenever another nation adopts a
distinctly unfavorable tariff toward Ger
many. This matter will also come up in
the reichstag this Session.

Another bill which will be presented
provides for an increase in the pay of army
officers from first lieutenant upward by 50
to 100 per cent. Colonels, if this measure
becomes law, will receive 9,000 marks,
majors will get 6,000, captains will draw
3,600, and lieutenants will be paid 1,800
marks per year.

New Arms For the Navy.

Emperor William’s orders to arm all the
modern vessels of the German navy with
15, 21 and 24 centimeter Krupp quick fire
guns has given immense satisfaction to
naval men. These guns are said by ex-
perts to place the German ships ahead in
fighting power of those of any foreign
navy In fact, they are declared to be six
times more powerful than other vessels of
the same size.

Orders amounting to many millions of
marks have already been placed with Herr
Krupp, who hopes soon to beable to apply
his latest inventions to the 28 centimeter
guns. For the army artillery a similar new
equipment will be made, and the cavalry
will get a new mauser self loading revolver,
which is said to be an ideal weapon at
close quarters, while it also carries up to
1,000 meters. The breach can be lengthen-
cd mechanically and adjusted to the shoul-
der for aiming.

The emperor hopes to effect these gigan-
tic changes without serious opposition in
the reichstag.

The German bimetallists, under Count
von Kardoff, held a meeting on Friday
and decided not to drop the fight, in spite
of the defeat of the silver party in the
United States.

A royal decree just issued makes the
provincial colors of Posen identical with
those of . Poland—white, black and white,
instead of red and white. This is intended
to check Polish agitation.

The members of the American colony of
this city are arranging for a Thanksgiving
celebration on Nov. 26. There will be a
dinner at the Kaiserhof and speeches, fol-
lowed by a ball. The United States em~
bassador, Mr Edwin F. Uhl, will preside
and will hold a reception in his own house
prior to the celebration pioper. The com-
mittee consists of Messrs. Uhl, Kreismann,

McGee, Meller, Griscom, Zimmerman,
Boles and McFadden.

O’Donnell of Everett, while driving home
from Boston yesterday, came in contact

It. Carroway was found dead in her room
in a lodging house yesterday, With deep

ment that there is no foundation .‘-‘ or the
story that President Cleveland and Poet-e-
tary Carlisle will establish a 1.1.11: 1; 2 1. ~-
ship in New York early in March 118-11..

THUNDER CLOUD AND HIS BRIDE.

Miss Hashagan Falls in Love with to Sioux
” Brave.

Hattie Hashagan, an artist, whose
decorative paintings have delighted
thousands at the art exhibitions, is
now Mrs. Thunder Cloud. She- has
married her Indian model, the hand-
‘somest warrior of the Sioux tribe. He
is a big, stalking brave, whose face
and figure adorn many a canvas rep-
resenting life on the frontier.

The bride is romantic by nature, as
might easily be guessed. She is 22

years old. Her eyes are black and as"

fascinating as dazzling gems. They
are curtained by daIk, heavy lashes.
She has black hair, worn in fluffy
style, a lithe figure, rather small, and
:1 face plump enough not to be angu-
ar.

Thunder Cloud was lucky from the
time he was big enough to bend a bow.
He lived in luxury until he was 20
years old, and then attached himself
to a Government surveying party. He
met Buffalo Bill, and was one of the
first redskins brought out of the West
by him. He was with the show in Eu-
rope, and was the most admired of
the redskins who appeared before the
nobility.

Thunder Cloud is as straight as an
arrow, thick- set and has Indian fea.
tures. He allows his jet-black hair to
fall over his shoulders, and takes
pride in his appearance. He has
piercing eyes, a brighter face than
most Indians, and is a remarkably
handsome red man, not only in the
opinion of Mrs. Thunder Cloud, but of
many New York artists.

While employed by Buffalo Bill,
Thunder Cloud posed occasionally for
artists. A few years ago he adopted
that business. He bought a stock of
tomahawks, war paints, bows and ar-
rows, buckskin suits, Indian dancing

costumes, and everything an artist
would want in a picture. This made
him valuable as a model. He added

to his income by selling Indian relics.

Miss Hashagan heard of Thunder
Cloud through a water color exhibited
by Otto Wix, in which the Indian
brave was the central figure. It was
two years ago. She was then 20, just
out of art school, and the noble red
man excited her enthusiasm. She
pleaded with her mother to let her
paint him. Mrs. Hashagan finally con~
She and her daughter were
living in His Hashagan’ s studio, and
there Thunder Cloud posed for his
bride- to— be.

The marriage ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. Henry St. George
Young, an Episcopal rector. In the
bride's studio in New York. Thunder
Cloud adorned the walls in advance
with tomahawks, bows, arrows, pipes
of peace, buckskin clothes, eagle
feathers, war bonnets and everything
to be viewed in a warrior’s Wigwam.
In a conspicuous place there was a sil-
ver medal his grandfather, Trohak-
wente, received for gallant conduct in
a frontier battle. A war bonnet, made
by Thunder Cloud, was given the place
of honor.

The wedding took place in the even-'
ing. The witnesses were-Otto Wix,
whose water color had started the
courtship, and Ella Mockridge. The
bride wore a pretty costume of white
silk, with orange blossoms. Thunder
Cloud ignored the traditions of his
forefathers, and appeared in a frock
coat, over the shoulders of which his
jet black hair fell in a glossy mass.

 

To Stop Bicycle Thieves.

The popularity of the bicycle in all
classes of society has been the means
toward the development of many and
varied inventions appertaining to the
two wheeler. The device suggested
by a young bicycle enthusiast who
had the misfortune recently to lose
his bicycle, which he had left in front
of an office building while he entered
to execute a commission, has the nov.
city of being absolutely original, and
also of putting to practical use one of
Wizard Edison’s most complicated in-
ventions. '

This device he has named the “bicy~
cle stop thief,” and if the apparatus
actually works as the young inventor
contends that it can be made to do, it
will do away almost entirely with bi-
cycle thefts. The young man has af-
fixed a miniature phonograph to his
bicycle directly under the saddle. The
phonograph is enclosed in a square
box, and the apparatus only weighs
two pounds and a half. In the centre
of the box is the tin foil cell upon
which he has imprinted the words
“Stop thief !” many times. A wire con-
nects with the rear wheel of the bicy-
cle, and with that the apparatus is
complete

When the young man enters a build-
ing he presses a button, and his thief
catcher is set. When the thief, who
is always near by to take advantage of
any careless person' leaving a bicycle
on the sidewalk .‘jumps into the saddle

' and sta1ts to ride away, he is stopped

by a voice which shouts apparently
behind him, “Stop thief! Stop thief!"
The faster he rides the wheel the
louder the voice puis'ues him, until
finally the thief in disgust vaults ad
the wheel and leaves it to its fate. A
pr'essme of the button by the owner,
and the mechanism is detached and
the 11 heel 1uns smoothly. The young

invent01 intends to apply for a patent ,

as soon as he has the contrivance per-
fected.

 

Sarcasm.

Sarcasm generally doesn’t pay, un-
less it be of the pleasant kind used by
an Irishman to his employer—7a, coal
dealer—who proposed to discharge
him because "he couldn’t learn any-
thing. ”

“W ell, I vc learned one thing since
l’1c been 111111 you,” said Pat.

"What’s that?”

“That eighteen hundred make a ton.”

Pat was retained. , , _ p .

. ALiving Flag.

At the recent grand encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic at St.
Paul two thousand children of the
public schools were dressed in red,
white and blue caps, toques and other
garments in- such a way that when
massed together and deployed, they
formed a living representation of the
stars and stripes. Marshalled upon :1
slope, the veteraiis of the Grand Armv
as they passed on parade saw and sa-
luted with the singing of the “Star
Spangled Banner,” this copy of the
flag for which they had fought, made
up of the very flesh and blood of a ris-
ing generation.

This was to them not only an im—
pressive spectacle, but a significant
emblem of future devotion on the part
of the bone and sinew of the country
to the foundation principles of the re-
public.

College Smokers Go Down Foot.
Prof. Fiske, official physician. at
' Yale, gives as a page from his expori
once, that of a class of 147 student):
the 77 who did not use tobacco sua-
passed the 70 who did by 10 per cent
increase in weight, 24 per cent, in-
crease in height, 26 per cent increase
in chest girth, and 77 per cent in lung
capacity. The highest fourth of the
class in scholarship were almost all
non—smokers, and the lowest fourth
almost all smokers—Philadelphia
Time".
