Emperor Williams "Chlldren"

The emperor of Germany, who is now
eighty-six years of age, still takes in
finite pleasure in behOlding bodies of
his helmeted "childrenn defile past him
by thousands at time. This pleasure
to-day entailed upon his majesty the
fatigue of sitting in tie saddle for three
long hours, exposed to the united
action of sun, wind and driving dust.
1t was precisely 10 o'clock when he
drove on to the ground and mounted
his charger Carefully trained to canter
with gentle and almost imperceptible
motion), and it was l O'Clock before the
review was over.
The troops, as usual, were drawn up
in two parallel lines, each about mile
long-infantry in front, with cavalry,
artillery, and train in the rear-and the
emperor, followed by his brilliant suite
of princes, generals and foreign at
taches, slowly rode along each line,
with sharp eye both for merits and
shortcomings. But what Prussian
would admit that the guards have any
shortcomings? The troops then marched
twice past the saluting point-the in
fantry first by companies at quarter
distance and then in dense columns of
regiments, the cavalry first by troops at
a walk and then by squadrons at the
trot, and the artillery first by batteries
of four guns each and then in sections
of several batteries. German cavalry
rarely or never charges past or up to
the saluting on such occasions, as is
done in England and russia. The eight
regiments of horse-two of Cuirassiers,
one of Hussars, three of Uhians and two
of dragoons-forming altogether an in
dependent cavalry division Ohere are
only three such bodies in the German
army, made a good impression, both
horses and men being in capital condi-
ton. The horses of the heavy cavalry
are lighter than in England or in
Russia, but they are probably more
serviceable and durable. AS for the
infantry, which was in parade order
that is, with white trousers, knapsacks
and cooking tins-it moved past with
the precision of a machine and the rig
idity of O. ramrod.

The United States Richer than
Great Britain.


Statisticians have pronounced the
United States to be not only potential
ly, but actually, richer than the United
Kingdom. Counting the houses, furni-
ture, manufactures, railways, shipping,
bullion, lands, cattle, crops, invest
ments and roads, it is estimated that
there is grand total in the United
States of $40, 77O,0 100000. Great Britain
is credited with something less than
$40 100000 900, or nearly $4,000, OOO,-
900 less than the United States. The
wealth per inhabitant in Great Britain
is estimated at SLIGO, and in the
United States at 1895. With regard to
the remuneration of labor, assuming
the produce of labor TO be 100, in
Great Britain sc parts 90 to the laborer,
p to capital and % to the government.
In France Al parts 60 to labor, Sc to
capital and % to government. In the
United States y parts 60 to labor, 90 to

KEEP NOTHING FROM MOTHER

They sat at the spinning together,
And they spun the fine white thread;
One face was old and the other young
A golden and silver head.
At times. the young voice broke in song
That was wonderfully sweet;
And the mothers heart beat deep and calm,
For her Joy was most complete.
There was many holy lesson,
interviewer with silent prayer,
Taught to her gentle, listening child.
AS they two sat spinning there.
''And of all that speak, my darling,
From my older head and heart,
God giveth me one last thing to say,
And with it thou shalt not part.
''Thou wilt listen to many voices,
And ali! woe that this must be!
The voice of prayer and the voice Of love
And the voice O. flattery.
''But listen to me, my little one,
There's one thing that thou shalt fear
Let never word to my love be said
Which her mother may not hear.
ono matter how true, my darling one,
The words may seem to thee,
They are not fit for my child to hear
II they cannot be told to me.
''If thou'lt ever keep thy young heart pure
And thy mothers heart from fear,
Bring all that il said to thee by day
At night to thy mothers ear. -

curiosity seekers gathered to-day on the
wharf in front Of the spot where the
Riverdale sank Yesterday, and wat ched

since yesterday, and the belief
strengthens that there are none in the

three.
The list of the missing is being gradu-
ally Trimmed ont, as those supposed
to have gone on the steamer or who
were really passengers on IL are heard
from safe and sound in this city or at

by those best informed that the full

Accident to the Republic.

Considerable anxiety was caused
among the friends and relatives in this
city of the passengers who Went to Cape
| May yesterday on the steamer lsepub-
| lie by her failure to return last evening
at the regular hour. AS usual, the Nc
Call went out to meet the boat, but she
did not arrive until near midnight,
when her passengers were transferred
and brought to this city. From infor.
nation it was learned that ON her down
trip the Republic encountered rough
seas and was late in reaching Cape
May. On the return trip the boat left
Cape May at 4,3O o'clock, but had not
proceeded far before she was compelled
to stop her engines on account of a
breakage of the rudder chains.
The steamer Clyde left Cape May
about twenty minutes after the Repub-
lie and was soon overtaken by her,
where she was lying still, blowing of
steam.
The officers of the Clyde saw that
something was the matter, but as no
signal of distress was hoisted they did
not 90 to her assistance.

return was relieved shortly after Il

the public in regard toa matter that

which were as follows:
On Tuesday night special officer
Thomas arrested an aged man named
Joseph Higgins for being drunk around
the Railroad station, and took him to
his sons residence. He however, re.
fused to take him in, and told the
officer to take him to the Hall, which
was done.
About o'clock in the morning
officer Thomas came to the Hall and
told Sergeant Mcconnell that he would
like to see the q Id man get of, as it was
very seldom he went on spree, and
even when he did, he was harmless and
did not injure anyone. He also said
that he would like the hearing to take
to 90 home, and the Sergeant replied
that if he wanted to have the man tried
before Judge COmmins opened his
court, he could take him before Squire
O'Neill, where The case would be heard
Immediately. The officer declined to do
this, and when Clerk Pennington came
the Sergeant told him about the man,
and said the officer did not wish to pros
ecute, and ventured the opinion that it
was a case where justice could be- tenn
pered with mercy.
| In short time afterwards Judge
CummiDs came in, and the Sergeant
also stated the case to him, consequent
ly there was no attempt at concealment
or any desire not to have the prisoner
tried before the Judge. When the
Court convened, Clerk Pennington
came down and asked the Sergeant who
was in charge of the police station, and
he replied" The Chief" who was at
that time standing at the end ofthe al
leyway talking to John & Baker and
Eli Mendenhall, who had stopped him
as he was coming in. Mr. Pennington
stood in the doorway and called to him
twice, but he evidently did not hear
him.
The Clerk then reported to Judge
Cummins, who summoned Sergeant
Mcconnell, and asked him who was in
charge, and he replied, "The Chief"
"Well, tell him | want to see him, "
said the Judge. Sergeant Mcconnell
retired, but returned in a few minutes
wi b message from the Chief that he
would be there in little while" The
Judge then said: "Tell him that have

much longer, as have other business

down and get his prisoner. There was
no attempt made at any time to prevent

morning when he said that he would
like to see the old man gel off, that he
could not release him without the

A FORMAL DEMAND.
City Auditor Rail Calls ON CHEZ
Hawkins for the Fees.

Chief of Police Hawkins had barely
SO ated him. elf in his Office this morn
ing when City Auditor Ball walked in
and read from paper he held in his
hand resolution passed by City Coun.
Gil last Thursday night, instructing
him to make formal demand on the
Chief for the costs which he had receiv-
ed from the 18th of April, the time the
new charter was passed, until the LIST
of June, when the official wheels of the
Municipal Court made their first revo-
luton.
The impression of the bystanders,
while the Auditor was reading the
document, was that the chief would be
stunned, but he didn't stun worth a
cent, and when the Auditor concluded,
merely said "Well ?" 81 now de-
mand those COSTS" said the Auditor,
and the Chief replied: have no costs
in my possession. The Auditor press
ed the matter by saying " want the
costs you received from the time the
charter was passed until the first OF
June" which was met by the Chief
with, How much is it 2" " cannot
tell,' said the Auditor, until

books that contain any account OF

have my answer, SIR" said the chief
a. he opened the record to see if any
arrests had been made during the night
and the Auditor walked out. CHEZ
Hawkins says that when he asked tht

sition of the costs during that time, he

TO which he was elected by the people
he should pay the costs to the officer.
entitled to receive them, and that ht
had done 50 until the organization OF
the Municipal Court, since which timt
he has paid those that have come int
his hands to Clerk Pennington.
1t is supposed that the Auditor also
made d demand on Clerk Pennington
as ~ is holding the costs received by
him under the plea that unless they
were received in case of vi ,lati0n of a
city ordinance, they belong TO the Coun
~. The City Solicitor gave an opinion
that as the Municipal Court is main
tanned by the city, the costs should be
paid into the city treasury, and the
Auditor was instructed by Council tc
make formal demand upon the clerk
for them, but whether he will pay them
or wait for another opinion reversing
the one previously given, remains to be
