THE "MoTHER COUNTRY.

A German Suggests the Transfer OF
the Title From England to Ger
many.
LONDON. Oct 23-The great increase in
the number of Americans who annually
spend much of their summer vacation in
different parts of Germany is beginning to
attract notice and newspaper comment.
One of the speakers at the Berlin demonstra-
tions called the attention of the au-
dience to the growing relationship
between the citizens of the United
States and the people Of Germany, arising
from the enormous population Germany
had already given to the republic, and said
the interchange Of ideas resulting from these
ties were rapidly Iiberalizing the whole Ger
man people The speaker pointed to the lib
eralism of England as the result of the rela-
tionship which had so long and closely existed
between Great Britain and the United States
during the period when England was fur
nishing the republic with population and
claimed the title of Mother Country. Ger
many, the speaker said, as the result of its
succession to England in the matter of fur
nishing population to the republic would
soon become as thoroughly liberalized, and
now that Germany had taken Englands
place in the one respect. Germany ought also
succeed to the title Mother Country" to the
great republic. This lastremark was greeted
with prolonged applause.

As a Human Skeleton.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-About 4 o'clock p m
Sunday, Mr.. George G. Campbell. of Hins-
dale, was walking in the woods near Fullers-
burg, when he stumbled over the skeleton of
a man, with some remnants Of decayed flesh
still clinging 10 the bones, and some half
rotted clothing. A few feet apart from
the body lay the SKULL in such
a position as to indicate that
the man had fallen face down
ward The body was half-coyered
with some underbrlsh, and the spot where
the CHASTITY thing was found is about quar-
ter of mile north Of the main. road. 1t had
all the appearance of having been there for a
long time. The coat the man had on was a
sack OF diagonal pattern, black, with brown
check The pantaloons were blue flannel
The Insight of the man was about five feet
eight inches. A few tufts of iron-gray hair
were found clinging to the skull, The feet
were incloseds in white hose and buttoned
shoes. "A black stiff hat lay by
the head. In the coat pocket
was found d linen collar, handkerchief and
black neektie. In the vest pocket were a
pair Of eyeglasses in a ease and railroad
timetable Near by the remains lay a
whisky bottle. The general impression
throughout the neighborhood seems to be
that the unfortunate man was tramp, and
may have fallen down in some sudden spasm
of apeplexy There is nothing, SO far, te
point to its being a ease of murder

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. %. "A member Of
the Indiana delegation, interviewed on the
organization of the next house, said: THE
speakership seems to be much IN doubt, as
each one of the candidates, with their friends,
claim to lead in the race. There are appar-
entity very many members who have not COM
mitted themselves and this large unknown ele-
ment renders the outcome uncertain. With
regard to the officers, he continued, there is
the same uncertainty, with one notable ex-
ception 1t is generally conceded that Gen.
J. B. Clark, of Missouri, viii be the next
clerk, in fact his friends confidently predict
his election Considering that Gen. Clark
spent ten years in congress, it is not at all
strange that many men. who occupied seats
during that time should welcomehim back to
the scene of his former labors, especially as
he possesses in marked degree the power of
making lasting friendships
