stopped in at a gorgeous beer garden
IN Fourtesnth street yesterday and bought
a mug OF beer from German Raron Tbis
sounds ike fiction, but il is a fact. ON
the plate glass window in gold letters is
the name of Otto Won Muhlbach. He is q
German Baron, and belongs to one of the
best families in Prussia. He is handsome.
accomplished and jovial, with ruddy
cheeks, blonde hair and whiskers parted
in the middle in true German fashion.
How is it that he is selling beer? The
Baron is good natured but impetuOus and
headstrong, and one day quarreled with
ms father, who threatened 10 cut Inn off
without dollar. The son smiled. He
told the father, who was towering in
rage above him, that if he would give him
$4,000 thalers he would never enter his
dOor again: Then the father laughed
historically, and said his ungrateful
son would end up by becoming a
Deggar. The Baron Otto Won Muhlbach,
the son, took a more hopeful view of his
future, said he would come to America
with ms money and make his way in the
world. He came. When he talked of
going into business here in New York
people laughed at him. His place in the
world seemed ~ be at convivial table
opening bottles of wine, singing snatches
0t songs aId telling amusing stories. For
such '8an to oe talking of business
veuiur caluef Ndicrous in the ex-
v7a9 9Wnee serious he attempted
EfEA 1ine on this subject, the
ui re insinOere he seemed to be. While
ttns ot lueiss' heer garden one night
with jolly company he called the pro-
prietor to the table and asked him how
much he would take for his garden. The
rotund proprietor roared so did the Ba-
ron's companions. "How muchg' in
sisted the Baron. ''Oh, $19,0OO," replied
Thesis. ''It is mine," shouted the Baron,
and called for bottle of beer wherewith
to seal the bargain. The proprietor of the
garden and the men around the table
thought no more of it, but the next morn
ing the jolly Baron walked into the garden
and threw down a thick pile of crisp bank
bills and asked for bill of sale. Thesis
did not refuse the money, as the price af-
fOrded good margin. Thus it was that
we come to have real German Baron in
New York selling beer.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 30.-Mr John W.
Garrett, President of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, has addressed a letter to
the President of the Corn and Flour Ex-
change, which is rejoinder to the open
letter of President Green, of the Western
Union Telegraph Company in regard to
Mr. Garrett's charges that all cable cor
respondence under the present system is
open to the inspection of the Western
Union officials. In his letter to-day Presi-
dent Garrett reviews his charges and
quotes the reports of his agents, who We're
sent TO inquire as to the possibility of the
transmission of cable business without
passing under the scrutiny Of Western
Union officers. Their language agrees with
Mr.. CARROTS former statement. Mr.. Gar
rett also quotes John Pender as cOntem-
plating the establishment of a separate
cable office in New York, where all dOmes-
tic companies conld exchange cable busi-
ness and each control its own share both
of outward and inward business. and he
says Mr.. Pender's plan resulted from
statement by Mr.. Garrett similar to that
maGe in his Baltimore speech.

Representatives Refused.
BERLIN, Nov. 30.-The Reichstag has
rejected by vote of 153 to 119 the motion
to allow as optional the use of French in
the debates in the Provincial Committees
Of Alsace-Lorraine. During the discus
sion, Herr Boettischter vigorously opposed
the motion, and declared that there was
no chance of the Federal Council ever al
lowing it to become law. The use of
the French language, moreover, was un-
necessary, because 80 per cent. of the
population were Germans and another 80
per cent. speak both languages. The po-
litical tendency of the motion was made
apparent by the satisfaction with which
the French press greeted its introduction.
Herr Bennigsen also opposed the mo-
tion and added that there would be, in any
case, another struggle for possession for
Alsace-LOrraine whenever the increasing
ferment in France came to head

STILL PICTURESQUE.

Representative Emory Speer is nothing
if not spectacular. He fades from the Con-
gressional view after this session. but his
orbit is still brilliant. Mr.. Speer is quite er-
ratio. He read himself out of the "Inde-
pendent" party some time ago and said that
that he was going to be in the future
Democrat of the deepest dye. Now he
has been interviewed, and says that he
has hopes of a new party, and that if that
party is what he thinks it ought to be,
you can find Emory Speer in its ranks, or
words to that effect. Now the question
arises, if you are sufficiently anxious to
inquire, where does Mr.. Speer stand. any
way? Give it up. Ask us an easier one.
