Brewers May Sign Bonds.

In granting the mandamus prayed for by
Ferdinand Kuhn, IA Detroit saloon-keeper,
to compel the Detroit common council to
Spprove his liquor bonds, upon which two
brewers were sureties, the supreme court
SAYS:
The provisions, however, of this act pro-
hibiting person because of the business in
which he is engaged from entering into
contracts of certain class, the same being
open to all other persons, would be viola
tion of the constitutional principle that no
person shall be deprived of life, liberty or
property without due process of law. =
Property does not consist merely of the title
and possession. 1t includes the right to
make any legal use of il and the right to
pledge or TO mortgage it or sell and transfer
it. The right TO contract a debt or other
personal obligation is included in the right
of liberty, and the right to enter into a bond
is also right of property. The provision
is also "a plain violation of the fourteenth
amendment of the constitution of the

The New Emperor.

Emperor William II. is about % years old
and has chiefly distinguished himself as the
representative Of the most Objectionable
type of the young military Prussians He
is the pride of Prussias military party and
the hope of Bismarck. The chancellor was
not in sympathy with the peaceful aspira-
tions of the dead emperor, and both he and
old Kaiser Wilhelm set their minds to max
ing out of young William young man who
hates everything that is not German.
His hatred of Russia is no less bitter
than that of France. During the last 30
years, and especially since the creation OF
the empire, the relations between Prussia,
Germany and Russia have been regulated
TO certain degree by the family relation
ships existing between the two ruling fami-
lies. Kaiser Williams sister was the wife
of Car Nicholas The late empress was
princess of Darmstadt. The kaiser was
the grand uncle of the car, II was always
the conviction that war with Russia would
never take place as long as the old emperor
was alive But Prince William knows
nothing of sentiment. His boon companions
are the crown prince of Austria, a young
gentleman morally as disreputable as him
self and young Count Herbert Bismarck.
Prince William is well educated, how
ever. He was carefully trained as boy.
He received private instruction in the clas-
sic languages, mathematics, physics, relig-
ion, gymnastics. He was then sent to the
gymnasium at Cassel, where he passed his
examination for the university with credit.
He was then sent to Bonn, where he studied
diligently.
The princes latest military rank was
colonel commander of the hussars of the
guard He is very popular with the army,
and doubtless has the capacity of great
general. From all reports he is very anX
ious to have an opportunity of proving him
elf as his grandfather wished him to be, "a
second Frederick the Great. At present,
however, he is only reckless, hot-blooded
soldier, continually getting into scrapes.
But the old kaiser was very fond of him,
nevertheless He married on Feb. %, 1881,
Princess Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-
Holstein, to whom, however, he has not
been a model husband.
He has already done his share in provid-
ing for the successorship to the Prussian
and German thrones. His oldest son,
Prince William, was born May o, 1882.

ing from 81, OO0 down 10 800. The coroner
accidentally hearing of the case and having
his suspicious aroused, had the bodies ex-
humed and a chemical analysis of the in
testines made, and found arsenic in all.
Suspicion pointed TO Mrs. Whiteling, and
she was arrested and has made full con-
fession. She said she was born in Ger
many and married "a man in Iowa named
Tom Brown and that Brown died in prison.
and in 1850 she married John Whiteling in
Philadelphia Her daughter Bertha was the
child of man named Story. Whitcling,
she said, was sick much of the time. She
procured "Rough on Rats" and said that
her husband committed suicide. She gave
the children the poison and then summoned
"a physician, but did not administer the
medicine prescribed. She said she could
not go out washing with baby and re-
solved to get rid of Willie; that she was
afraid if she poisoned them all at once she
would be found out. When she had finished
her confession she said her conscience was
clear and that she would meet her dead
children in heaven.

Frederick William Nicholas Charles, first
son Of the late emperor of Germany, was
born in the New Palace at Potsdam, Oct.
-, 1881. He entered the military service
at an early age, after having received a
thorough scientific education and doctors
diploma at the university Of Konigsberg,
In the army he rose TO the rank of general,
and had already held several important APP
pontments before the war broke out be-
tween Prussia and Austria, - years ago.
In that struggle he had under his command
three army corps, besides the guard corps,
commanded by the Prince Of Wurtemberg,
force aggregating 125, 900 men.
In the later part of July, 1870 the Franco
Prussian war was at its hight, and the now
dead emderor, then in commend Of the third
German army, 100000 men in all was re-
pulsing the French at Wessenbcrg. He
crossed swords with Canrobcrt and MacMa-
hon, and defeated them, as much by supe-
rior force, however, as by superior tactics.
AT Sedan he was leading against Mac Ma
hons forces, and by skillful move crossed
the River Mouse. On Sept 20, 1870, he was
in Versailles and began the investment of
Paris, which occupied him until the peace
Of Versailles was concluded
The late emperor was married 80 years
ago TO the Princess Victoria Adelaide,
daughter of Queen Victoria, woman of
more than ordinary brilliancy. The mar
riage was opposed by Prince Bismarck and
by Won Moltke, who did not quite fancy the
close union with England which it involved.
AS a result she has had a hard time of il il
Germany, even her son doing her grave in
suit by his contemptuous references TO his
English extraction when called on to speak
in public. Bismarck and she were mortal
enemies, and the opinion had been enter
tanned that she would find way TO crush
the power Of the chancellor and his old field
marshal if sufficient length of life were
spared her imperial husband. On her AS
sumption, with him, of the imperial dignity,
she showed the superior kind of woman
she was by her organization Of the relief
system for the food-stricken people of the
valley of the Vistula, TO whose aid she gave
her personal attention and large contribu-
tons from her private purse She has borne
her husband seven children, the Princes
William, Henry and Frederick Ernest and
the Princesses Victoria, Frederick, Sophia
and Margaret, the youngest girl now sixteen
years old.
During the illness of the emperor the en-
press insisted on having DIR. Mackenzie the
distinguished Scotch surgeon, attend him,
in preference to the German court physi-
clans. This caused great storm of abuse
TO break against her, but she kept her doe
tor, and he kept her husband alive long
enough to make him an occupant of the
throne and her the dowHger empress of
Germany, with immense allowances from
the state.
