The Emperor Frederick William has
issued a proclamation in which he
says: "UncOncerned for the splendor
of glorious deeds | shall be content if
it can be hereafter said my govern
ment has been beneficial to my people,
useful to the country and a blessing to
the empire. The proclamation con-
tains no talk about Germany's reliance
on its own strength or menace to
foreign powers. 1t promises reform,
but in general rather than in Parlia-
ment sense. There is nothing to indi-
cate that the new emperor has any
more intention of enlarging the powers
of the Reichsrath and Landtag than
has been Overdone and speaks against
the idea of state socialism. 1t declares
in favor of race and religious equality,
which is taken to mean not only the
preservation of peace with Rome but
equality for the Jews. This is in
direct antagonism to Bismarck and
Herr Stokes and indirect censure of
Prince William who has been associ-
ated with the latter in his anti Jewish
crusade.

Edison's First Marriage.
NelU York Tribune.

An old telegraph operator, who was
stationed at Menlo Park when Edison
first came there, entertained Tribune
reporter the other day with some
stories about the wizard. He is an odd
ity, doing nothing in the common way
and setting at naught all the conven-
tionalities. The first Mrs. Edison was
an operator in the Newark factory
where Edison was making the ma
chimes to fill his first order for the
stock indicator which brought him in
to- notice and formed the basis of his
fortune. She was a tall, fine looking
girl-One of a dozen sitting at bench
was walking down the line, that girl
spoke up and babe him good morning
without raising her eyes from her
work.
"Good morning." said the inventor.
allow did you know it was 2"
"Oh, | can always tell when you're
near" was the reply.
"See here" said the man of inven-
tons, "l've noticed you a good deal of
late. Suppose you and l get marriedq''
"rm ready"
"When shall it be 2"
"Ihree weeks from tonight"
"All right" and the inventor went
on his rounds while his intended bride
merrily wound away upon her bObbin
of wire.
On the wedding day the first con-
signment of stock indicators came back
from Their purchaser, imperative.
When Mr.. Bachelor, who has always
been Edison's right-hand man, went
down to the shop after supper, he
found the inventor there in his dirtiest
shOp-clothes tinkering away at the
machines. Didn't he remember that it
was his wedding night7 No, he'd for
gotten all about it. Bachelor dragged
the tagging groom to the nearest
clothing store, got HIM into a new suit,
then to barber shop and finally put
him on a car and shipped him to the
house of the bride. Then he went
back to the shop to work, supposing it
was the last of Edison for that night.
In an hour or two, however, Edison
rushed in again, threw his new coat
down on Il greasy lathe, hung his
waistcOat upon the gaspipe, kicked his
shoes under the bench, seized file and
went at the defective stock indicator
as if there were DO such thing as mar
riage and giving in marriage and there
he stayed with his faithful lieutenant
till the morning sun looked in on two
weary toilers and an electrical stock
indicator that worked like charm.

The Old Man Laughed.

A Southern woman here, by the way
tells about dining in Boston last year
when next her sat a very homely OLD
gentleman, who wanted to know how
she passed the time in the country
with her old father.
"Well-we read" answered Miss.
"What do yOn read ?"
"Chiefy The Autocrat at the Break
fast Table,"
"Don't you get very tired of it p
ooh, no. When we get to the end
we simply turn back to the beginning.'
The old gentleman chuckled and
made reply implying that the "Auto-
crat" was no great thing among books
and Miss was rather surprised at his
disparaging air. After dinner she
demanded of her hostess the name OF
the very unappreciative old gentleman
and was told it was Doctor Holmes.

"Not at all. l assure you he was nc

1t is impossible to estimate the ex-
tent of the loss Of life. A great many
people are missing, and the snow will
have to be cleared away before all can
be accounted for. Almost all of the
reports coming in from the surround
ing country bring news of fatalities re-
sulting from the storm. 1t is feared
that over twenty lives have been lost
in Essex county, New York, alone. In
New Jersey a number are known to
have been lost. Albert Livingston,
the New York milknan who disappear
ed on Monday was found Tuesday.
His horse walked into his yard almost
exhausted. In the wagon, seated up
right, was the dead mans body, one
hand clutching a roll of money he had
collected, the other the reins. The
body of an unknown man was found
Wednesday on the meadows near the
pumping station at Newark. John
Horner of Orange and an unknown
man at Irvington were found dead in
the deep snow. Theodore Shelthur of
Newark and a son of y. Brotta of New
ark left Elizabeth Monday and have
not been heard from since. A report
from Hackensack says one man and
two children died in the snow.
