A Charleston West Va special
says For many years past the illicit
whiskey-business has been run to the
great detriment Of Government revenue
in the back counties Of this State. Every
effort has been made by the Federal
authorities to suppress the lawless acts
Of moonshiners. Many have served
terms in our jails and penitentiaries,
but vet there are hundreds who either
make or sell moonshine whiskey in the
State. Officers recently made raid
through portion of Greenbrier county,
but failed to catch more than one man,
Simon Pof, who did an illicit-whiskey
business on Brush creek. He was ar
rested by a deputy United States mar
shal. Simon Poh was jailed at Hinton
to answer the charge Of selling noon
shine whiskey without Government
license. officers are arranging for an
extensive raid through the back coun-
ties.

His Mother Kept it Secret.

OSCAR WILCOX LEARNS OF HIS FATHER AND A
FORTUNE AFTER FIFTY-FIvE YEARS.
From the New York Sun.
No. 314 Madison street is a three-story brick
house that has evidently stood for a century.
Two flights of narrow, dark stairs lead to the
top floor, which is occupied by Oscar Wilcox,
his wife and three grown children-a daughter
and two sons. Mr.WilcOt is a fine-looking man,
hty-seven years old with flowing white beard
and iron gray hair. His wife is a few years
younger, and retains an air of refinement that
years OF hard work have not been able to BAN

chair by the table, on which were the remains
of frugal supper, and told story that would
delight a novelist.
Il am an old man now. but until about eight

A CHILD WITH Two BRAINs-A baby about

treatment last week. When the child was born

slowly INCREASED In size and tirmness. Nothing
could be done to reduce the protuberance
which was supposed to be "a tumor, except to
perform an operation on the child's head and
take 1t out. Before this could be done the little
thing died. The consent of the mother being
obtained, DIR. Janeway held an autopsy at the

From the st. James Gazette
AprOpos of the imperial celebration at Ber-
lin, it may be noted that Professor Trei tschke
In the third volume of his German History in
the Nineteenth Century," which has just been
published in Berlin, tells the following
story of the love adventures of the pres
ent emperor: Prince William was the
favorite son of his father, King Frederick
William Ill. In their stern soldier-like SIM
plicity and their good nature father and son
were alike. In political matters, too they were
both agreed in making the maintainauce of
the Russian alliance cardinal point in their
policy. Prince William had fallen in love
with the Princess Elise Radziwill, the most
beautiful Of the ladies of the court. Bat her
father was not a sovereign prince, accordingly
the young lady was not of equal rank and
between the pair could only be morganatic.
For five long years, according to the historian,
every effort was made on both sides to get over
the difficulty. Elshhorn, the great jurist, gave
an opinion that the Radziwili family might be
reckoned as royal. But this decision was op-
posed by the unanimous opinion of other
that Prince Augustus, the kings cousin should
adopt the lady. But the Prussian ministers
declared that adoption could not take the place
OF blood
Meanwhile Prince Charles, the kings third
son, married princess OF SAKE Wemar: and
the grand duke let it be known that ii Prince
William carried out his intention, the claim of
Prince Charles children to the throne would
set up against that OF the offspring OF the elder
1ulS SIcp Drought matters
to "a crisis. The crown prince, afterwards Frede-
ric William ~, had no children, and there was
therefore every prospect of a disputed success
sion, which might endanger the very existence
of the Prussian monarchy. AT length, on the
urgent representations of his ministers the
king made up his mind to interfere. In letter
OverfiOwing with parental affection he repre-
sented to his son the probable course of events
and showed him that it was his duty to sacri.
flee his personal inclinations to the welfare of the
state and of the royal house. When the Prince
received the letter from Gen. Witzleben he
was al first utterly crushed; but he recovered
himself, and wrote to the king the same eve
ming that his commands should be obeyed.
"In the simple and yet moving language that
was natural to him he opened to his father his
whole heart. He promised to justify his faith
ers confidence in him by crushing back his
deep sorrow and steadfastly facing the newt
able, and he prayed God that He would not
forsake him in his heavy trial. From hence
forward his heart should be more entirely
than ever devoted to his beloved father whose
parental affection had never been more plainly
shown than in this last decision.' Strangely
enough the present Empress Augusta is a sis
ter OF the Princess of Saxe-Weimar, whose mar
riage forced Prince William to fOrego his love.
