the VISIT AT POLAND.
Count kalnosky's Rose-CoIOred Impress
sions of His Tour.

LONDON, Sept. 10.
The whole German and Russian press con.
slider the recent meeting of the Emperors as
one that will result in the security of peace
to Europe.
The Standards Vienna despatch says
Count Kalnosky, in describing the royal visit
to Skierniwice, dwelt upon the contrast be-
tween the number of police and soldiers
everywhere until they arrived at Skierniwice,
where there were no visible measures taken
for the safety of the royal heads during the
whole time the three Emperors were there.
He attributed this to the love of the people
for the Car and the Czarina's winning man
ner. He said Prince Bismarck especially
was good humored. Everybody left Poland
with excellent impressions.

strengthen the confidence of all who feel
friendly towards me, by bringing TO view
the simple thread of truth which is concealed
in this endless tissue of talsehood. You can
imagine how inexpressibly painful it must be
to discuss ones domestic life in the press,
although think with you, under the circum-
stance [ could count on the generosity of
the public to Justify the statement which
otherwise might seem Objectionable. | can
in any event safely commit the facts to you for
personal communication to those friends who
have taken a delicate and considerate an in
terest in nv affairs. The leasure hours of
TODAY, when our campaign is ended and we
wait only for election, gives me opportunity
for this prompt reply and for the following
details
At Georgetown, Ky, in the spring of 1913,
when was was but Is years of age, first
met the ladv who for more than "a years has
been nv wife Our acquaintance resulted
at the end of six months in engagement,
which, without prospect of a speedy mar
riage, we naturally sought to keep to our
selves Two years later, in tine spring of
1850 when was maturing plans to leave my
profession in Kentucky and establish my
self elsewhere, | was suddenly summoned
to PENNSYLVANIA by the death of my father.
1t being very doubtful if / could return to
Kentucky was threatened with indefinite
separation from her who possessed my entire
devotion. My one wish was to secure her
to myself by an ndissoluble tie against every
possible contingency in life, and on the 3Oth
dav of June. Just prior to my departure from
Kentucky, we were, in the presence f chosen
and trusted friends, united by what | knew
IN my native State Of Pennsylvania aperfect-
lv legal form of marriage. On reaching
home | found my family, and especially my
bereaved mother, strongly discOuntenanced
my business plans as involving too long
