earth with blood Of a few fighting
thousands to make n place famous. A
week ago Saarlouis, Saarbrucken and
Hagueman were unknown to the ordi-
nary geographical mind, and seemed
almost unpronounceable, except by a
Teutonic tongue, but now they are rs
familiar In our mouths rs household
words" and We talk about them rs
glibly rs If they were old acquaint-
ances. 1t must be rather notifying
tn the map makers that the opposing
Generals won't fight their battles near
any of the localities printed In Jig
letters, but will select some out Of the
way spot not marked ut all. 1t Is good
for the photographers, though. rs 1t ne
ccssitates n new map every few days.
The supply quite equals the demand.
Two q day Is the average for the past
week. and the cry Is still they come.
Every fourth store OH Montgomery
! street has the "Seat Of War" In Its
window, and no two Of them bear the
least resemblance TO- each other, or
agree In any particular except In being
MISUNDERSTANDING. An uncolored

separated from a pink Prussia by u vel
low boundary line, the effect Is ire

Portraits Of the Day.
A printshop window is an excellent
thermometer of popularity, for the
moment your hero gets a little stale he
Is cast one side for a new notabllity.
10 Judge by this criterion, we would
say that King William was immensely
popular, as fly-speckled portraits OF
the Prussian Monarch have completely
displaced Grants physiognomy, and
grim looking Otto:yon Blsmarck's, res

mans noses quite out Of sight.

Who says that the Germans are q
| phlegmatic. unexcitable race? On
| Sunday night, when the result Of the
late battles was made known, they be-
haved more like madmen than stald,
solemn, lager-drinking Dutchmen:
They surrounded the AIa office, and
fairly compelled TINT paper to issue an
extra, and Mt the California Theater,
where n German play was In progress,
the enthusiasm veered nom the sublime
to the ridiculous, venting itself In
shouts, yells, mutual embracing, and
tears. The beer Nloons were open NIL
night, with free lager for the patriotic
| thirsty, and another victory will GER
tainly clear the brewers out Of all their
stock of the foamy beverage. But
little labor was done by any native OF
North Germany yesterday, and from
| the sounds of revelry In the street at
| this early morning hour, the chances
are not brilliant for aH Improvement
to-day.
Although no official announcement
has been made of the postponement Of
the lottery, there Is now no doubt that
1t will be carried over for another
month. The Pavilion where the Grand
Gift Concert was to take place has been
engaged on the first of September for
Il fruit and flower fair, SO that 1t i
impo islblc the drawing can come Oft
rs advertised. The refusal Of the
Grand Jury to Interfere with the pro-
ject no doubt ends all legal embarrass-
mentq, and It Is not likely that any
further attempt will DO made to stop
the scheme.

who walked In her sleep and suffered
the pangs of remorse for what she

all ideas of the dramatic writers and
converted Sh~akespeare's sublime ira
