If” ooooro noon noon "The Growing French Army Viewed as a Menace to Germany. WILLIAM GETTING ANXIofrs. , He Will Boston the Equipment of His Army With” the New Krupp Quick Firing Guns at an Expense of About 260,600,000 Marks. . BERLIN, Jan. 4,—The news received here from Paris that the French council of war has ordered a large 5increase in the cadres of the army, by which 145 new bat- talions of infantry will be created, has thoroughly aroused public opinion here, = especially in view of the announcement ' ,that the French artillery is already partly rearmed with quick firing guns. ‘ France, under the new system. will have 105 more battalions on a peace footing than Germany, align the German military authorities now int d to hasten the equip- ment of the army with new Krupp, quick firing guns at an oxxpense of 260,000,000 marks. The German navy is being rapid- ly provided with the same type of gun, not only in" the case of the new vessels, but on board the older vessels. At the same time a. skillfully managed agitation has begun, doubtless prompted by the govern- ment, in favor of a further increase in the peace cadres, so as to Catch up with the French. W» The campaign was started by the semi- ofiicial Cologne Gazette and Hamburger Correspondent. The latter regrets that the army increases in Germany and France are like an endless screw, but maintains that it cannot be helped, although to Ger- many, with her 52,000, 000 of population, it is easier than in the case of France, with her 40,000,000. The author of this article, who is supposed to be a high offi- Ifinial of the general staff, even speaks of . the necessity in the near future of warm- ing the German infantry with a. more ef- fective magazine rifle and of reorganizing the system of fortifications. The Von Tauseh Case. The preliminary investigation into the case of Von Tausch, the former commis- sioner of detectives, who is charged with perjury and other crimes, has assumed larger dimensions than at first expected, due to the special order of Emperor Wil- liam that nothing be overlooked. Besides being tried on’four charges of perjury, Von Tausch will also be tried for less majeste, committed jointly with Normann-Schu- menu, a newspaper man of this city. The whereabouts of the latter is at present un- known, though he is supposed to be in Constantinople. The relations of Von Tausch with the press will be thoroughly gone into. Six editors and correspondents have already been summoned-as witnsses. Incidentally the charge of slander and lose ' majeste has now been formulated against Herr Harden, editor of The Zukunft, based on comments on the Von Tausch case. .. Dr. Holleben, the Prussian minister at the court of Stuttgart and formerly min- ister to WaShington, is about to be recalled and transferred to a minor post as a mark of the emperor’s displeasure at Holleben’s serving as second to‘ Baron‘von Wangen- heim in a disgraceful duel fought last week near Canstatt. At a convivial meeting which the em- peror attended on Monday with the offi- cers of the Berlin garrison and his aid-de- camp his majesty spoke severely of this duel. and the duels fought on account of escapades with women. Statistics just published show that the number of duels in Germany has doubled since 1889, and whereas in 1891, 60 sen- tences were imposed for dueling, 107 sen- tences for the same Offense were imposed in 1895 in various parts of Germany. The feeling about the Brueswitz case is still very strong. Some officers who en- tered two of the leading cafes in Breslau were greeted with cries of “Here come the Brueswitzes.” As a consequence, Ofi‘icers have been forbidden to enter the cafes of Breslau. ' The Army Maneuvers. It is stated that big army maneuvers will be 'held this year in Lorraine, east of Metz. Emperor William will reside at the Chateau Urville, and the king of Saxony and the Grand Duke of Baden will attend the maneuvers. An article has appeared in The Bavarian Fatherland, the organ of Dr. Pig], a mem- ber Of the reichstag, presaging the down- fall Of the German empire through the de- fection of Austria from the dreibund, ow- ing to the arrogance of Prussia. This has paused the Hamburger N achrichten, Prince Bismarck’s organ, to express the hope that Dr. Pigl will be driven out of the reichs- tag as a traitor. The Hamburger Nach— richten also advocates the passing of a special law making a bill of attainder ap- plicable to members of the reichstag who ‘ . preach seditious doctrines. . The health of the mad King Otto of Ba- varia has remarkably improved of late. His lucid intervals are becoming more fre- quent and-longer. His illusion of being a stork and able to fly has ceased. He smokes no che cigarettes and has hardly any fits of fury, when he tears and breaks everything, but he displays an inordinate fondness for. can‘dies. ' It is rumored in court circles that Gen- eral von Hahnke, hitherto the powerful chief of the emperor’s private military cab- inet, has fallen into disfavor and will soon be replaced. . Emperor William is planning a series of special favors, which is said to include a new honorary title and a decoration to be seldom conferred upon any but crown- ed heads. . Duke Ernst Gunther of Schleswig-Hol- stein, brother of the empress of Germany, has had his castle at Prinkenau’completely renovated and rebuilt. It is now onset the grandest chateauir in Germany, resem- blin g the chateau of Friedrichshof, belong-V of rooms has been specially fitted up for the accommodation Of the emperor and em- press, who will reside there for some time during the coming spring. ‘ Arthur Dexter Found Dead. grandson Of "William Q.

BOSTON, .l'an. 4.——-Arthur Dexter, great- » in cinema vicxsn eon. monds Dropped. LONDON, Jan. 2._—The\ Daily Mail’s Rome correspondent says that the proceed~ ‘7 ings against 'Signor-Crispi’s son Luigi on a. charge of theft of the Countess Cellere’s diamonds have been abandoned. Luigi Crispi is a natural son of the ex: premier, about 25 years old, whose career has been somewhat notorious, and Who was shippedsoff toArgentina soon after the accusation of the theft of Countess Cel- lere’s diamonds was brought against him. Early in 1893 the lavish expenditure in- dulged in by the young man awakened suspicion, and Signor Crispi was soon 'made painfully aware that the source of his funds was the sale of private papers to the statesman’s’enemies, Luigi abstracting a bundle of documents fromthe record from time to time. Part of these comprised the correspondence with Garibaldi, Mazzini and other revolutionaries. Some of them found their way to private portfolios and some were made use of by Signor Crispi’s political enemies to back up scandalous charges against him. Young Luigi was in consequence locked up in a house of correction without mag-‘ 'isterial investigation or legal procedure. He was released sooner than was expect- ed and very soon got into trouble again". In April of last year he was accused of having stolen jewelry valued at $6, 000 from the house of the Countess Cellere. a lady who gave him the run of the house. Kleptomania was offered as an excuse, and it was charged that there .was a conspiracy to blackmail the then' premier. A man named Malpieri, alleged to be one of Luigi’s confederates, was convicted and sentenced to 14 months’ imprison— ment. Meantime young Crispi was in Argentina. Work For Convicts. SING SING, Jan. 2. ——The contract prison system of labor passed out of existence to- day. Warden Sage, when asked how he would solve the problem of caring for the 900 men, said: “For some time past I have been trying to initiate as many of them as possible into the stonecutting business. I have been trying to get for this prison the clothing and shoe work that will be re- quired in the different state institutions, and if I succeed I can manage to keep a great many of the convicts pretty well em- ployed. ” To Sue For Slander. NEW YORK, Jan. 2.——Comptroller Palm- er of Brooklyn is about to bring action for slander against E. M. Shepard of the Civil Service Reform association. Shep. ard, in a. statement issued two days ago, said the comptroller was the chief offender against the civil service law. He also claimed that the comptroller’s office had been “subjected to as extraordinary a. piece of political looting as has been known for many years.” A Wholesale Bobbing Conspiracy. ST.

LONDON, Jan. 2.—The Westminster Ga- zette says it hopes that the omission of the name of Mr. Wilfred Laurier, the Ca- nadian premier, from the list of New Year’s honors is not'due to the fact that he is a Liberal, adding: “Party politics must not be allowad .to interfere with the recognition of colonial statesmen. ‘ We hope that an early opportunity will be taken to honor Mr. Laurier. ” ' Freight Trains Collide.

'V‘hen a girl is 10 years old she should be given household duties to perform, according to her size and strength, for which a sum of money should be paid her-weekly. She needs a little pocket money and the know- ledge ,how to spend it judiciously, which can so well be given by a moth- ei'. She should be required to furnish apart of her wardrobe with this mon— ey. For instance, if she gets 100.. a. week, she should purchase all her: stockings, of all her'gloves, as the mother may decide; and doing this under the mother’s supervision, she . will soon learn to trade with judgment and economy. Of course the mother? will see to it that the sum is sufficient to do this, and yet leave a trifle for the child to spend as she pleases. This will supply a healthy stimulus; it will give her a proper ambition and pride in her labor, and the ability, to. use. money properly. ‘As she grows oi’d’em these household dutes should be in- creased, _with the proportionate in— crease _of money paid for the performs ance of them. I know a lady who at; vided the wages of a servant between her two daughters. There. is a syster- matic arrangement of their labor; which is done with a thoroughness and alncrlty rarely found, either with a. hired girl or with a daughter who feels that she has to do it, with nothing to encourage and stimulus her in the: work. Eamiestness Brings Success. To be successful, we must be earnest and diligent. I do not mean that we. must be sober and downcast, but that we must be ardent, zealous and al— ways striving giftei' that which wilt ennoble 'us. Of course, we are ex- pected to take recreation and‘to enjoy ourselves at the proper time, but each: one should have some end or aim in view for which he must be ever ear- nestly striving. Many might be temps ted to complain that this method would make life one continual round of strife, but are we not happier when we are: working for some end? Earnestness is the main constituent ’of success. Al- though we may not have gained the end which we aimed at, yet if we have Vstriven earnestly for it, can we say our lives “have not been successful? I. think not. .For, by having earnestly . tried, we have, in a certain sense, gained a victory; we have,"in a meas ure, been successful. She Wasn’thoing to Slight Poor Times. Mrs. S. was much interested at one: time in a poor Irish widow whom she had employed, who found great dif- ficulty in getting a living. After a: while however the widow married a man with some 'money and in a fair business, and Mrs. S. rejoiced over he! fortunate prospects. A few weeks later however she met the former widow dressed in the deepest mourn. ing. Shocked and sympathetic, Mrs. S. said, ‘_‘Why, Mary, I hope you have not met with any loss!” “Sure, Mrs- S.,” replied Mary, “when my poor Tim died I was that poor that I couldn’t put on the bit of mourning for him, and I said that when I could I would, and faith I can do that same now!” Author ofCurfewllIust Not Ring To-night.
