This Year’s Court Presentation a
Function of Unusual Splendor.
MANY westerns PRESENT.
One of Them. the W'ifo of Second Secretary
of Embassy Squicrs. Vv'as the Sensation
of the Event——“Anarchism In
the Berlin Town Council.”
BERLIN, Jan. Six—This year’s presenter
tion at court was more brilliant and Was
marked by a larger attendance than for
many years past. Both the native and
foreign prcscntccs at Wednesday’s cere—
mony included a number of distinguished
people. The toilets of the ladies were espe-
cially brilliant, and it was generally agreed
that Mrs. H. G: Squiers, wife of the second .
secretary of the United States embassy,
wore the most beautiful gown and created
a. sensation. Her costume consisted of a.
dress of white satin with gold embroidery
and silver tinsel, ornamented with pink
roses, whose chaliccs sparkled with dew-
drops represented by diamonds. The train
. was of gold brocade.
The United States (ambassador, Mr. Ed-
win I". Uhl, as one of the latest comers,
was presented last, with the French cm-
bussador. the duke of Noailles. A number
of other Americans were presented, in—
cluding Lieutenant A. P. Niblack, the
United States naval attache, and Professor
Guy V. Thompson of Yale, and Mrs.
Thompson, recently Miss Uhl; Mr. and
Mrs. John D. Jones of Washington, Misses
Uhl and Ullman of Chicago and Miss Amy
Heacock. Among the members of the
aristocracy present were the Princess Ly-
nar, nee Parsons, and her daughter, Coun-
tess Jane Lynar.
Emperor William was resplendent in
uniform, wearing all his Prussian orders.
Both he and the empress wore the orange
ribbon Of the Order of the Black Eagle.
The empress was dressed in a gown with a
train of silver brocade.
The court functions this winter will be
very numerous and brilliant. A special
feature will be a costume ball, the designs
for which were drawn, at the instance of
the emperor, by Professor von Heyden.
They faithfully represent the costumes of
1797, in honor of the centenary of his
grandfather. .
Emperor William gave his annual din-
ner to the members of the diplomatic corps
Mr. Uhl was seated at
.a considerable distance from his majesty,
who, however, converscd cordially with
him on nonpolitical subjects during the
evening.
The kin gs of Saxony and Wurtcmburg,
the Grand Duke of Baden and the Prince
Regent of Bavaria will be present at the
centenary celebration of the birth of Wil-
liam I. Wildenbruch has written the
dramatic legends of “William the Ger-
man” for the performance that day at the
opera house. The music was specially
composed by Hummcl.
‘ Attacked the Kaiser.
The discussion by the Berlin town coun-
cil of the proposal to spend 20,000 marks
on a memorial paper on the life of Wiliam
I has raised an outburst of Socialist hos-
tility. The Socialist spokesman, Dr. Za-
dck, warmly protested against this “sac-
rifice to person worship of large sums,
which could be better spent in relieving
winter distress, ’7 adding:
“I also protest against the wholesale dis—
tribution of the pamphlet in the municipal
schools. as I have no confidence that Em-
peror William’s biography represents the
historical truth. Liberty loving citizens
remember the dear departed ones who fell
in the streets of Berlin, fighting for the
people in 1848, and at the same time they
remember the attitude of William, then
prince of Prussia. <We know that in this
protest we have the support of all working
people, who do not forget the law which
for 12 years 'made them outlaws and de-
prived thousands of their families on ex-
istence under the reign and with the con-
' sent of King William.”
The North German Gazette discusses the
foregoing under a leading editorial headed
“Anarchism In the Berlin Town Coun-
cil” and declares that socialism and an-
archism are identical and urges that Every-
body on the side of right and order must
resist the “Socialists’ destructive work.”
The Centrist-s in the diet have declared
against the governments bill to amend the
cxisting“Law of Associations,” drawn up
in order to enable it to suppress the Polish
agitation, and a sensational debate in the
diet on the Polish question is promised on _
Monday, when Herr von Czarlinski, the
Polish leader, raises the debate on the
forcible dissolution by the _p01ice of the
Polish mass meeting in the eastern prov-
inces. Czarlinski will be supported by
the entire Polish party and by the Con-
trists. '
The Snub to Bismarck.
It is stated that the action of Emperor
William in refusing to meet Count Hor—
bert Bismarck at the wedding breakfast
last week of the daughter of Count yon
Weddell, minister of the imperial house-
hold, who was married to Count von Bis-
marck-Holcn, to which the Bismarck fam-
ily had been invited, is due to tho discov-
ery that Count Herbert is at the bottom of
the Von Tauscli-NormanSchubert in-
trigues, and a new Bismarck press law is
expected. Count Herbert, as a result of
the stand taken by his majesty, was asked
by the family to remain away from the
wedding, and he did so.
It is now asserted that Professor Loyden
went to St. Pctersburg recently and ex-
amined the old wound on the skull of the
czar, the result of an attack made upon
him by a. fanatic in Japan while his maj-
esty was touring the world as the czarowitz
in company with Prince George of Greece. ,
The professor is said to have found a bony
excrescencc pressing upon the brain and
causing headaches, but he advised against
an operation at the present stage. He is
also credited with reporting that the con-
dition of the czarina is satisfactory.
Influenza is spreading in Berlin. The
principals of all the public and private
schools have been directed to send home
all the childrcn'attuckcd. Several thou-
sand cases have been reported, but the
number of deaths from the epidemic are
few: 4
Dr. Wrcdc, editor of Die Kritik, is being
prosecuted for lcsc majeste in an article on _
the “undiplomatic” New Year’s reception, ~
in which his majesty was ridiculed.
An unusual number of cxpulsions of
American citizens from Germany have
lately been ordered, one case being that
' of Max Siemens, who kept a. large and
well known cigar store in this city. Ten
American citizens were expelled this week.

by Illegal Voting.
CHICAGO, Jan. t35.—Ex-Governor Ali.-
geld was last night given a complimentary
banquet by his friends at the Tremont
House, and in the course of his speech he
made wholesale charges of fraud at the
late election. He said among other things:
In Ohio there were nearly 200,000 more
votes counted in 1890 than there were
in 189:3, which would indicate an increase
of population in that state during four
years of very nearly 1,000,000 people,
whereas in reality there has not been an
increase of 333,000 in that time. In other
words, it is clcar that in Ohio over 94,000
fraudulent votes were counted, and as the
returns show that Mr. McKinley had only
a majority of 49,000 in that state, it is cor-
tuin that Mr. Bryan carried Ohio by over
40,000. ‘
In Illinois in 1802 practically every legal
vote was cast, yet in 1896 there were 243,-
000 more votes counted than there were in
Illinois our population had not reached
4,000,000. In ten years from 1880 to 1890,
during which our growth was greatest, the
population of the state increased only about
150,000; yet, according to the late election
returns the population of this state in-
creased in four years, from 1892 to 1896,
nearly 1,200,000. This shows the mon-
strously fraudulent character of the whole
proceeding.
It should be said that, notwithstanding
[ thcsc fraudulent votes, McKinley carried
Illinois only by a small majority and not
by 143,000 majority as reported, and it is
certain he, did not carry Ohio, Indiana,
‘ Kentucky or California, and it is doubtful
if he carried a number of other states cred-
ited to him. '
THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
Continental Europe Seems to Fear an
Anglo-American Alliance.
LONDON, Jan. 25.—From the general
tone of the Continental press it is evident
that Europe looks askancc at the Anglo-
Amcriacn arbitration treaty and seems to
fear on ,AnglO-Amcrican alliance. The
Marquis of Salisbury’s dig at- Prince Bis-
marck in his speech in the house of lords
on Tuesday last appears to have touched a
sore point in Germany. The premier said,
referring to the arbitration treaty:
think we are indulging in millennial an—
“ ticipations if we hope that something will
be done .by the treaty of arbitration to
diminish the risk of war. I do not say it-
wlll remove the greatest risks of war. I
do not say it will restrain a Napoleon 01' a
Bismarck. But diplomacy is full of an in-
finite numbcr of small differences which
are caught, up by the people and press of
both countries. And if they are written
upon, exaggerated and enlarged they tend
to diminish the friendship between them
and give birth to a feeling of alienation
and resentment. ”
.The NOrth German Gazette, comment-
ing upon the reference to Prince Bismarck,
refers to the arbitration treaty as an
“agreement to prevent quarrels about
triflcs” and rcpudiates the comparison of
Napoleon with Prince Bismarck, wherein
the North German Gazette sees “another
illustration of British industrial and com-
mercial jealousy.”
The Krcuz Zeitung says that the Mar—
quis of Salisbury, instead of mentioning
the name of two powerful pcrsonages,
would have better to openly admit that
such treaties are of little use, “since they
must be repudiated in all instances in-
volving vital national interests. ”
MONEY IN A SNOWBANK.
South Dakota’s Funds Out of Sight, but
Guarded by Militia.
PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 25.—-The money of
the state treasury, amounting to nearly
$280,000, is stuck in the snow in charge of
a guard of militia 30 miles cast of this city.
Governor Leo and’ the new state officials
had insisted on seeing and counting the
state cash in order to see that it was all
actually in existence, and the state treas-
urer was ordered to call in all funds from
the various dcpositories. This was done,
a company of militia being detailed for
guard duty to cScort company employees
bringing the flfiids here.
The money had all'arrived early Friday,
and the governor and his advisers counted
it carefully, not being satisfied with any
packages, but breaking all open and count-
ing it. This work having been finished
and the funds being found all on hand the
treasure was ordered returned to the banks
and was at once started off. The snow-
storm, however, started up, and the train
on which the money was shipped is snowed
up 30 miles east of Pierre.
“The Blizzard In England. '
LONDON, J an. Sir—Tho blizzard con-
tinues to cause sad havoc throughout Great
Britain and Ireland. Several lives have
been lost as a result of wrecks on the
coast, while other persons have been frozen
to death in different- parts of the country.
The roads are impassable in many places,
and in several instances it was necessary
to dig the mail wagons out of the snow-
drifts.
Hanged on the Main Street.
BRYAN, Tcx., Jan. 25.——Eugene Wash-
ington, the negro arrested yesterday for
assaulting Miss Dehart on Thursday near
this place, now hangs to a limb of a cot-
tonwood tree on Main street in the city of
Bryan, it being one of the most public
places in the city. His death is the work
of an infuriated mob composed of the best
people of the county.

hER OLD SLAVE AIDED HER.
The Reason l. by .‘lle Color Line “as Not
Drawn on One Patron.
Two members from Mississippi were
swapping stories during the intervals
between refreshments when in an ac-
cidental way the name of ’ex—Seuator
Blanche K1“ Bruce was mentioned.
“That reminds me." said one, “ofn
story told inc :1, long time ago by a
barkcc lifl' at the. Ebbitt. I was in there
one day when Bruce came in, went
into one of the side rooms and having
been served, walked out without say-
ing anything to any one. ' .
“ ‘You don’t draw the color line here,
John,’ I remarked to the barkeeper.
“ ‘Not on that man, sir, I don’t,’ was
the reply. ‘I have had a pretty good
opinion of him since a little thing that
happened soon after he first came
here. '
tol one day when a card was brought
to him. He read it and at once went
out to the waiting-room. There he
met the woman who owned him when
he was a slave. With her was her
daughter. Both were in tears. She
had lost all her property during the
war, and was absolutely pcnnilcss.
The negro once her slave was the only
man She kngw in W'ashington. She ap-
pooled to him. Bruce listened to her
story. He got his hat and went out-
side with 1101'. His carriage, drawn by
a. handsome pair of boys was waiting
there. He called the carriage, assist:
.0d the mother and daughter to enter it
\vith'as much deference as he could
possibly have shown them in the old
plantation days, closed the door and
told the coachman to drive to the
'l‘rcasury. Then he called a public
cab and followed. The three entered
the Treasury together, and before
Bruce. came out he had placed in the
hands of the woman he had once called
“Missus” an appointment to a good
clerkship in the Treasury Department.’
“leat,” added the Mississippi mom-
bcr, “was the reason why the barkcep-
or didn’t draw the color line at Blanche
K. Bruce, and seems filo me the reason
was a mighty good one, too.”—~Wash-
Engton Post.
RUBBER TEETH Now,
An Invention of a New York Dentist “’llich
BIuy Prove of Great Value.
An entirely new thing, in teeth has
been invented which places artificial
masticators within the reach of the
masses. The inventor and manufac-
turer is :1 wcll~kuown New York den-
tist.
The invention is a departure from
nnything heretofore introduced in mod-
ern dentistry. It consists of a complete
artificial set of teeth made entirely of
rubber, the base, or plate, and the
teeth being formed integrally. In their
manufacture an ingenious method is
employed which not only insures a
correct formation of the artificial mas-
ticators, whereby Ithey are made to
closely resemble nature’s product, "but
also simplifies the process of what is
caller “setting the teeth up.” A hol-
low, flexible metallic matrix, which
both internally and externally repro-
duces the formation of the natural
teeth, is made, which. when filled with
rubber and vulcanized. produces a per-
fectly formed set of teeth.
One of the greatest advantages of
the rubber teeth, aside from their
cllcnpucss, is their extreme lightness.
They weigh less than half as much as
any other form of denture—Now York

Electrical Plat-Killing.
A Kansas City electrical supply shop
ha. an electrical methad of catching
rats in the electricians cellar. A large
square of plate iron is placed on the
floor, and 'above it another plate, not
so large, and separated from the other,
at the distance of an inch or so. by
porcelain insulators. To each hate is
attached a wire connected with a dy-
namo having a 1,000 volt alternating
current. On the upper iron plate is
scattered a seductive luncheon of bacon
rinds, old cheese and tallow.
When a rat steps on the lower plate
the current has no effect on him; but
the instant he puts his paws on the
upper plate to reach for the. cheese the
full force of electricity reaches every
part if his sinewy body, and, contract-
ing it suddenly, shoots him into the air
in somersaults. The other rats, ob-
serving this, think he is jumping for
joy and hasten to the feast. One after
the Other they are shot into the air
and full to the floor stunned, when they
are easily captured and killed. Thus
it is that science lends itself to even
so humble an occupation as rat-killing.
