Matters Which Interest the People of

WILLIAM TALKS SOME MORE.
His Last Fad Is Reorganization of Artil-
lery—New Serum For Consumption. ‘
Pappenheim's Separation—Ger-
man Hatred of America.
BERLIN, Jan. 11,—Emperor William a
few days ago held a council of war, at
which General von Gossler, the minister
for war, and Generals Blumenthal, Wei"-
dersee and Winterfeld were present. His
‘majesty supplemented his recent address
to the‘generals on New Year's day by di-
recting attention to the reorganization of
the German artillery. After pointing out
the similar movement in France, his maj-
esty asked for the opinions of those pres-
ent. The exact decisions of the council are
variously given.
From Vienna it is announced that the
same question is being discussed by the
Austrian military authorities, but military
writers in the German press, especially in
the Liberal organs, urge the government
to await some definite action upon the" part
of France before committing the German
army to a specific type. of field gun.
Emperor William’s dueling decree tops
general comment in the German press dur-
ing the week, and it is the general opinion
of the newspapers that the decree does not
go far enough. The famous Leipslc uni-
versity professor, Carl Binding, criticises
the decree in a historical article in The
Deutsche J uristen Zeitung. He denounces
dueling as a relic of barbarism and says:
“He who, after misleadinga man’s wife
and destroying a happy union, crowns his
infamy by putting a bullet into his vic—
tim’s heart is a murderer. W erein lies
the honor of such a man? To t e guillo-
tine with him, a-nd not honorable confine-
ment in a fortress. ”
A New Consumption Serum.
Dr. Ncumann, the bacteriologist, has-
discovered and perfected a new serum for
the treatment of tuberculosis. This serum
is obtained from the blood of goats after
the latter have been treated for months in
a special manner. The serum is entirely
harmless and does not produce fever or
physical disturbance.
The statement made in a New York
newspaper that Count Pappenheim has in-
stituted divorce proceedings against his
wife, formerly Miss Mary Wheeler of Phil-
- adelphia, a daughter of the late millionaire
iron manufacturer of that city, Charles
‘ Wheeler, is unfounded. The count has not
commenced such a suit, nor does he intend
to begin proceedings for a divorce against
his wife. The friends of. both parties, it is
stated, still confidently expect a reconcilia-
tion. The wife’s entire fortune, it is add-
ed, was only $60,000, and it is asserted that
she has never made Count Pappenheim an
allowance. The latter is pronounced to
be a nice, kind hearted fellow, very fond
of his wife, and it is further stated that he
has always treated her well, but being a
gambler and continually in debt his wife
frequently helped him. Their income was
practically confined to the interest on her '
fortune, and they lived chiefly on his im-
poverished estate in the Bavarian Alps.
Since their separation, three years ago,
Count Pappenheim has no' her asked nor
received a cent from his wile. Recently in
Berlin he expressed to a friend the hope of
a speedy reconciliation with the countess.
The old mines found near Albeureuth,
Bavaria, which until 1679 yielded consid-
erable gold, have been subjected to an ofl'i-
cial examination, which shows that they
are still very productive. A test gave an
ounce of fine gold in three hundredweight
of ore. The mines will be reopened and
worked on a large scale. .
Two new measures have been promul-
gated with a view of the Germanization of
the Prussian Poles. One of them prohibits
all Polish recruits from talking Polish
within the barracks or during actual serv-
ice. .
Prince Regent Albrecht of Brunswick is
dangerously ill. He is suffering from in-
fluenza, and his life is in jeopardy.
According to the military budget, which
will be presented to the reichstag on its
reconvening, the peace strength of the
German army for the coming year will be
23,088 officers, 78,217 noncommissioncd
officers and 479,229 privates.
A Gift For Bismarck.
As a New Year‘s gift the Berlin Artists’
society, of which ,Princ'c Bismarck has
been an honorary member since his eight-
ieth birthday, will present him with a
costly diploma, which is a. unique master-
piece of industrial art. The centerpiece is
an iron plate, with verse engraved upon it
and surrounded by bronze ornaments. It
is framed in curved wood, decorated with
trefoil and oak leaves, which figure in the
Berlin arms. The upper part of the frame
is adorned with the arms of the society and
the Berlin bear, surmounted by an antique
sword and shield, with the German eagle
encircled by a green serpent. A device rcp-
rescnting St. George and the dragon is carv—
ed on the lower part of the frame.
The Vorwacrts, during the course of an
article highly praising the arbitration
agreement between Great Britain and the
United States, says: -
“After these two countries, which joint-
ly represent a. larger power than all the
military countries together, have agreed to
submit-their differences to a court of arbi-
tration, which will render war impossible,
may we not hope that the military coun—
tries will also some day come to their
senses or be brought to them?”
The officials of the United States embassy
here have amassed an enormous amount
of statistical, scientific and expert proof of
the frequency of the udulteration of Ger-
man wines and beers exported to the Unit-
ed States. A portion of the documents
will be sent to Washington, and copies will
be submitted to the foreign office here in
support of the contention of Americans
. that Germany is as great a sinner in food
exports as the United States.
Aggressive Toward Americans.
The agrarian press just now uses a. very
aggressive tone against the United States.
In the last issue of its official correspond-
ence appeared the rcmarksn .
“The Yankee, in his arrogance and ha-
trod of Germany, knows hardly any bounds.
The United States has sought many oc-
casions during the last few years to quar-
rel with Germany. The unjustifiable dif-
ferentiation against German sugar and
salt and the levying of tonnage fees upon
German shipping speak eloquently in this
rcspezt. If this could happen under Presi-
dent Clevoland, how much more may we
expect under McKinley? Yet-ye are ex-
pected to bend our necks to the: .”
The exports to the United Sta. as during
the ‘last quarter. of 1896 show 'r general
decrease compared with those-of . 2205 ex-
cept in sugaryivhich shows a big '1 crease.
I
unknown to McKinley. Theyhave been
friends for years, and McKinley on more
than one occasion has expressed the opin-
ion that Hanson was the ablest Republican
In the south. ‘ ‘ 1
Major Hanson: has been a Republican '
only since the lines were drawn on protec-
tion and free trade in the campaign of '
1888. He came out for Harrison then, and
he has staid with the party ever since in
national affairs. His appointment would
‘ mark the beginning of a new career for'
southern Republicans. ’ He is a. man of
wealth, a manufacturer and the owner of
IL newspaper. He is a member of one of
the finest families in Georgia, and in go
ing over to the Republican party he retain-
rd his social prestige, which is not excel-
led in the state. He has never hold public
office. He would not turn over his finger
now foo a cabinet position. When some
of his friends suggested to him that if he
would indicate his willingness they would
bring'all their influence to bear for his ap-
pointment, he replied: “If I thought I had
to make the slightest personal effort to go
into President McKinley’s cabinet, I would
have nothing to do with it. I do not be-
lieve in that kind of business. ’,’ ,
Hanson is a man of fine presence, 3
speaker of remarkable force and a writer
of great power and logic. ,His culture is
commensurate with his means. The Dem—
ocrats of Georgia would regard] his ap-
pointment to the cabinet as a tribute to
their state, and they would be proud of
him.
HAY r03 BMBASSADOR.‘
English Newspapers Seem to Regard the
Appointment as Settled.
LONDON, Jan. 11.—The appointment of
Colonel John Hay to succeed Mr. Thomas
F. Bayard as United States embassador to
the court of St. James appears to be re-
garded here as a settled thing and is gen-
erally well received. The Speaker says:
“The selection will give the greatest
pleasure to this Country.”
The Speaker then proceeds to pay a com-
pliment to him as a manof letters and of
the highest personal character, adding:
“It is no light task to succeed such a
man as Mr. Bayard, but we do not think
We exaggerate in saying that Colonel Hay
is better fitted than most men to perform
the task satisfactorily. The author of ‘Jim
Bludso’ and the ‘Pike County Ballads’ is
certain of a warm welcome from the Brit-
ish public, even if his personal considera-
tions were far less marked than they are.
We may fairly hope that American embas-
sador‘s in London will have an easier time
in the future than in the past, but in any
circumstances it is well that a man of
Colonel Hay’s repute is appointed to the
post. ’ ’
The Chronicle presumes that Mr. Hon-
ry White will return as first secretary of
the. United States embassy.
The change in embassadors has brought
forth gossip regarding former ministers,
and the newspapers point out that four
ministers to Great Britain were also presi-
dents of the United States and that in
three cases the London mission was a step
ping stone to the presidency.
Ernestus’ Victim Dead.
WILLIMANTIC, Conn, Jan. 11. — Mrs.
Mary Coles, the negro woman whose
skull was fractured by her lover, Abraham
Ernestus, who subsequently committed
suicide, is dead. The death of Mrs. Coles
will leave the details of the tragedy a mys-
tery forever. Ernestus and Mrs. Coles
alone occupied the premises that were the
scene of the tragedy. They were last soon
New Year’s night, and it was not till the
following Monday that the murder and
suicide were discovered.
Postmaster Shoots a. Elan.
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa, fan. 11.—Georgc
K. Lenders, the postmaster at Newberry,
shot and fatal); injured Seth T. Foresman,
one of the most prominent men of Wil-
liamsport. Landers had been drinking
heavily for several weeks, and during the
past three weeks his bondsmen have made
good a. shortage in his accounts of 8390.
Mr. Forcsman was one of his bondsmen
and today went to the Newberry post-office
to urge Lundcrs to resign. The quarrel
followed.
Fatal Railroad Collision.
FORT WORTH, Tex, Jan. 11,—A head
on collision between two freight trains oc-
curred on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe railway at Hazlett. Qne train was
standing on the main line waiting for
the other to take a siding. The engineer
of the south bound train came ahead at a.
lively clip and crashed into the north
bound. Two men were killed and two
injured.
Minister \Villis Very Low.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jun. 11.-——The latest
Honolulu advices, dated Jan. 1, say Unit-
cd States Minister Willis is very low, and
his death is expected any moment. ,, The
attack of pneumonia which he suffered has
led to other complications. The doctors
have given up hope. At the request of
Mrs. Willis prayers were offered in the
different churches. - .
Irwin IVIay Go to Toronto.
TORONTO, Jan. 11.-—Arthur Irwin, the
baseball man, who has been trying to get
the Toronto people interested in an eastern
league team, arrived in the city ina. com-
panywith Theodore Gregory. He had a
talk with some of the local enthusiasts,
and although he did not say he had actu-
ally purchased the franchise it is generally
believed he has.

The skeleton in
many a household is
‘th e peculiar weak-
ness of the wife and
. mother, or of the
. wife who ought to be
' a mother and is not.
Happiness is de-
stroyed by the pres-
ence of the secret
sickness that may
lurk like a grinning
death among the
most luxurious
homes. The most
terrible thing about
this condition of af-
fairs is that it is entirely needless. There is
no reeson in the world why every Woman-
in the world should not be strong and health-
ful and capable of fulfilling her whole duty
as a wife and mother. Many women go on
month after month, and year after year, be-
coming weaker and weaker, because of a
very natural hesitancy they feel in consult-
ing a physician. They know that if they go
to a doctor for treatment, the first thing h!
will insist on will be “examination” and
“local treatment.” Thiszmust of course be
distasteful to every modest woman. They
are generally as unnecessary as they are ab-
horrent. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
cures positively, perfectly, permanently, all
varieties of “female weakness” and dis-
ease. It is designed to do this one thing,
and it does it. It is the only medicine now
before the public for woman’s peculiar ail-
’ments, adapted to her delicate organization
by a regularly graduated physician—an ex-
perienced and skilled specialist in these
maladies. It cannot do harm in any condi-
tion of the system. Its sales exceed the
combined sales of all other medicines for
women.
Every woman will be healthier and happier for
\ efollowing the friendly, practiail
* counsel contained in Dr. Pierce’s
’ eat universal doctor beck:
“The Peo 1e‘s Common Sense

WASHINGTON ‘ NEWS?"
Some of the Washington correspond-
ents have the gift of seeing double, or
more, and they tell of crowded galler-
iesand full houses when to the 'normal
.vision nothing of the kind is in sight.
For example, when Senator Morgan
made one of his speeches on the Cuban
question, many of the dispatches said
that he spoke before a full Senate and
crowded galleries. As a matter of
fact, during a large part of the speech
there were less than thirty Senators
in the chamber, and the spectators in
all the galleries, including that re
served for the press, numbered less
than two hundred,‘although.the capac-"
ity of the galleries is about seven hun-
dred. At the close of the speech there
were fewer people in the galleries and ‘
fewer Senators on the floor than when
. it began. And this is only one exam-
ple of inaccuracy that is so gross as to
be inexcusable. ' ~
The suggestion In favor of a tnrifi
commission recalls the fact that Pres-
ident-elect McKinley had this to Say 01
the commission appointed in 1882: 6
“Another thing will be observed, Mr
Chairman, that we have followed very
closely the schedules recommended by
the Tariff Commission. I have no de-
sire to follow. gentlemen upon the
other side who have discussed this
question, in their criticism of the per-
sonal views and interests of the gentle
men who constituted it.
“It is sufficient for me to say that.
so far as my knowledge goes—and it
extends to a number of those who con-
stituted that commission—they are in
telligent, conscientious, capable men.
and peers of the‘best men on the floor
of the House. Their work was well
and, I believe, conscientiously per-
formed.”
Despite the unofficial announcement
that Brazil will not negotiate a new
commercial treaty with the United
States, the Republican members of the
“733's and Means Committee, who in-
tend that the reciprocity clause of the
new Tarifi bill shall be one of its prin-
cipal features, believe that Brazil can
be brought into the agreement. It is
intended that these treaties shall be
di-fierent from those that were 11 oo-
tinted under the law of 1890, in that
they shall be abrogated only by the
consent of both parties and after a
two years’ notification from either
side. ‘
It is pointed out that if Brazil,
whence this country imports the larger
part of its coffee, refuses to treat with
us, the great stimulus given to the pro-
duction of coffee in Mexico, Venezuela
and other countries, will soon shut
Brazil out of this market and give its
control to these countries. Guatemala
is also expected to be a strong compet-
itor in the coffee market.
One of the critics of Congress asks
this question, anent the proposal for
an increase of salary: Should the pay
If so,
should it be for what they do or for
what they kindly forbear from doingi
This matter, it is urged, should be
carefully considered before shoveling
out any more of the people’s money.
People interested in society note
with interest that knitting is the
\Vashington girl’s latest fad. No longer
does she embroider dainty little doy-
lies, but devotes her time to making
golf stocksings, bugs and umbrella
cases instead. Newport set this fash.
ion last summer. Every young woman
when she desired to do fancy work oi
any kind devoted herself to this old-
fashioned employment. Instead 01
making tobacco bugs for her men
friends she knitted them bicycle stock-
ings. . '
“A good story is told of Represen'ta-
tive Catchings of Mississippi, who was
a sound money Democrat during the
early days of the Administration, bui
changed when the question of his re
election came up. The other day
some Democrats in the House 'were»
discussing the possible Democratir
member of the Committee on Rules tc
take the place of the late Judge Crisp
Some one suggested Mr. Catchings.-
“But Catchings is a silver man,” suit
a Southern member.
“Oh, no,” instantly remarked Repre
sentative Owens of Kentucky, “his sil-
ver term doesn’t commence until the
1th of March.” SENATOR.
