Consider Yourself Thrashed.

As a polite concession to the We
hement indignation excited through
out Germany by the scandalous attack
upon German women recently pub
lished in the Wiedmosti, of st. Peters
burg, the Russian police author
tiles suspended for three months that
journals privilege of street sale. 1t
appears that the wrath aroused in
Teutonic minds by the article alluded
to, which, as will be remembered,
stigmatized the matrons and maidens
of the Fatherland when of a lively
disposition as 'prancing COWS crowned
with rose wreaths," and insolently
%asservated that they are not alto
gether human beings at any time, has
brought down upon its author a very
deluge of irate letters from all parts
of the German empire. One Of these,
which may serve as a specimen, has
been made made public by its recipi.
ent, as well as the reply which it
elected from him
BERLIN, October 30.-It is lucky
for you, sir, that you reside in a city
far distant from Berlin, otherwise |
would punish you in a highly exem-
plary manner for your abominable
article upon German women. As.
however, the distance separating us
prevents me from so doing, consider
yourself as having been properly
thrashed by me.

It is somewhat singular that the name
of Kabul should have made its first ap-
pearance in history as term of reproach.
The Old Testament Scriptures record
that when Hiram King Of Tyre, dissatis-
fed with the twenty cities given him by
Solomon, asked, "What cities are these
which thou hast given me, my brotherT
he marked his displeasure by calling
them "the land of Kabul." The pictur-
esque surroundings of the modern city
may fairly exempt it from a similar
taunt: but now a few Afghans still give
the preference to Kandabar, which
actually superseded its elder rival as the
native metropolis for seventeen years at
ter its foundation, the retransfer OF the
seat of Government to Kabul taking
place in ITO. From military point OF
view, however, the strong fortress OF
Ghazni, lying southwest Of Kabul, on the
great northern road from Kandahar
would be preferable to either. 1t was
captured for the first time in 1889, when

BOILER EXPLOSION.
At Hartmann & LASTS Chemical Works.

About O. clock this morning one OF the
boilers of battery of four in operation at
the still house of Hartmann u Lalst S
chemical and glycerine works on Provl'
dence street, between Oliver and Findlay,
exploded with q loud noise and created
considerable excitement in the nelgbor-
hood.
The explosion was Immediately followed
by the crashing of Timber and walls.
The boilers, one of which exploded, were
in shed outside of the main building, and
the roof and walls of the shed were utterly
demolished. The iron front of the furnace
was forced out of its place and the chimney
overturned. The boilers were in the north
ern part of the premises. Three OF the
four were only purchased about two years
ago, while the one that burst had
been in use about six years
At the time of the explosion Mr.. John
Weileman, the engineer, his assistant and
son, Charles Weleman, Adam Rehl, the
Superintendent OF the still house, and
another man named Fred. were in the fac
tory at work, but luckily none OF them
were harmed. The engineer and his son
were sitting about ten feet from the boiler
when the steam blew rent of about four
square feet in the top of the boiler near the
head, and tore out portion of the second
plate. The pieces tore off the roof and also
knocked down the walls.
Engineer Weileman can not explain the
cause of the explosion, as he had plenty
of water in the boiler, which could still
stand pressure of one hundred pounds
per square inch. He had on only pres
sure of about fifty pounds.
The loss is not considerable.

The EmDerer,s wives.

The Emperor of China is allowed three
wives, the chief of whom is the empress,
while the other two are queens. He has
the right, under certain restrictions, of
choosing his own successor. When the
Emperor Hien Fung died, in 1861, he
left the throne to his son Toung-che, who
was only five years old. The empress
and the boys mother, one of the two
queens, were made co-regents. They
reigned very successfully until 1873,
when Toung-che. took the Government
into his own hands, and removed them
from power. In 1875 he died of small
pox, without naming successor. His
wife was feeble girl, with young babe,
for whose rights she had not the strength
of character to fight.
She soon died, and the old Empress and
Queen seized the opportunity to get back
upon the throne. They chose three
year-old nepew of Helm Fung, and ap-
pointed themselves to reign until he be-
came man. The scheme was carried
out, and the two women are now SEEM
ingly firmly re-established. Among the
first statesmen of the Empire was Wo-to-
ku at the head of the civil service de-
partment. He brooded over the wrong
done to the infant son of Toung-che, and
at last resolved to speak out against it.
This was serious matter, for ancient
usage in China DEGREES that whoever ut
ters treason shall at once commit suicide.
Wo-ko.tu wrote and published, in the
most respectful language, demand that
the Empress and Queen should abdicate.
Then he killed himself with knife.

A girl sixteen years old started the ru

Another Escape.

The officers of the Ninth-street Station
house are getting very careless in the mat
tsr of taking care of prisoners locked up in
thsiy house. The escape of prisoners from
that Station has got to be such an easy mat
ter that this morning a woman escaped.
How she got out is q mystery and the Off
psrs cannot account for her release unless
She crawled through the bars. The prison
Or was Margaret Caufeld, incarceratcd for
drunkenness. Her escape is not of much
consequence, but it illustrates that mur,
dsrers or bank burglars could gain theil
liberty the same way. The Police Commits
doners will not be doing their duty if they
10 not give the matter thorough investi
ration and find out who is to blame for the
Humorous escapes which have lately oc
surred.
