tnorougn GOODNESS and Indifference The
face had been made familiar by
many portraits. 1t seemed indescribably small
and DID, but of wonderful force 1t is not the
face that is usually painted. The upper lip has
sunk IN and almost disappeared, the result of
the removal Of artificial teeth and the whole
lower part Of the face has a look that is worse
th"n distorted The upper face is intelIec-
tual looking.
II We're to see the drawn face as il Law
this morning. and not know that il was once
the German Emperor. he would say that it
was the face OF gentle, kindly, and fatherly
old man.
The coffin was of oak, covered with red vel
vet and embroidered IN gold. Around it was
much of the magnificent insignia of royalty,
glittering in the lights of the tall candles.
These embiems of the dread, might, and
power of Emperor, King, General in Chief
of Freemasons, the decoration scepter. crown,
and orders form a superb array of things
for which men long.
In his hand tire late Emperor holds a small
ebony cross. He wears the uniform of the
Guards, and on the historical gray mantle on
his breast is a string of small iron medals,
commemorative of the wars of 1914, "a, TO
and 20.
These are about the only ones of his hun
dreds of decorations that are to be buried
with him.

TRAIN TELEGRAPHY.
Sending Messages for Assistance
from a Wrecked Train.

The value of train telegraphy was well
demonstrated at the recent accident on the
Eehigh Valley Railroad, at Three Bridges,
Penn. The snow pillow, with three engines
and two construction cars behind it. ran into
a twenty-foot drift of hard snow in deep
cut The force of the blow against the
packed snow was so great to pile the great
engines on top of each other causing a COM
plete wreck of the train, and killing and in
turing several men. The scene of the acct
dent is six or eight miles from the nearest
town or station, which could only be reached
through the almost impossible suowdrifts,
and in the face OF the terrible blizzard that
was then prevailing. and the regular tele-
graph lines were all down for miles in either
direction.
1t was here that the new railroad telegraph
system came into play. It's single steel wire
stretched along the side of the railroad on
short poles had withstood the fury of the
storm, though in many places it was covered
by theigreat drifts and.buried out of sight.
The operator on the train soon recovered
from the shock of the accident, and within
three minutes after it occurred and while
standing in the wrecked and overturned car,
flashed this message to the railroad office
Train wrecked Three engines piled on top
of each other. Several injured. Send wreck
ing train and doctors"
Another message was sent to the nearest
town in the opposite direction for medical as
sistance. A relief train was dispatched at
once to the scene of the disaster, and reached
the place in time to give the wounded prompt
attention.

The great procession started. Five squad
1ons of hussars with fifteen trumpeters took
the lead clad in red jackets and black
fur hussar cloaks. Their gold swords
were wrapped in Grape. They were
followed by two battaliOnS of
dragons in blue and yellow. The officers had
their epaulets and the eagles on their helmets
bound in Grape. Three regiments of Uhlans
followed. These lancers wore shakos, a curl
Gus headgear, something Ike the college cap
and yellow.
The Black Garde du Corps looked as though
horses and men were made of iron, as they
passed along. They wore cleaning armor
with silver trappings Thence for mile the
road was occupied by solid ranks of infantry
in blue, black and red, with flags wrapped in
Grape.
The MarshaIs livery and equerry servants
of the great Emperor next came slowly
into view. Following them were domestic
officials. and then the higher officials of the
court; the late Emperor's lettering cd
private secretary, Bork; his pages in red
and silver, his physicians, Lauer. Leuthold,
and Siman, who kept up the vital flame of
the Emperor so long. Then came relocated
marshals with slaves. There were 400 of
these personal attendants of the illustrious
dead.
Next came the heavy and majestic portion
Of the parade. The eight imperial crown
Ministers, marching with the snowy insignia
of the crown. Then very old Princes FOL
lowed as cup bearers, stewards, equerries,
and so on.
Then came the great hearse, only now the

Four Generals who bore the order of the
Black Eagle held the corners of the pail
They were very oidlooking men, Twelve
Major-Generals walked behind the hearSe,
and after them twelve staff officers
saddled horse that followed without a
rider was the Emperors old charger and pet
that he rode less than two years ago at a
review Following the horse were three old
Generals carrying thestandard OF the Empire.
Then came three Kings and innumerable
Princes following on foot the chariot OF the
dead. AMBASSADORS, Generals, and followers of
royalty 1ocked along by hundreds. many Of
them being world famous names There were
companies of petty Princes, Knights Of the
Black Eagle, members of the Diet and emf
nent ecclesiastics Twenty groups followed,
composed of every element that goes TO make
up great State.
As the distinguished guests arrived at the
arch at the end OF the Linden they got into
carriages and were driven three miles TO the
mausoleum. and there waited until the hearse
with its famous burden arrived
Then the dead was entombed and the great
funeral was over.

The day before Emperor Williams funeral
New York Sun correspondent cabled as
follows from Berlin:
The City of Berlin is to-day a study in
black and white. The city is the scene of a
battle between snow and Grape When the
Erening Suns reporter arrived last night
from Ireland it was like a sudden
entrance into land of ghosts
and phantOmS. The streets were
covered by a heavy mantle of snow from
which rose row after row, block after block,
and mile after mile of huge black buildings
so densely and completely draped il black
that in many instances some windows were
shrouded.
Some of the palaces were literally hidden
by thousands of yards Of black draped in
massive folds from the roof to the ground.
Not a foot of the building itself could be
seen.
The snow was carpet which deadened
every football A few lights were burning,
and on every hand sentnels dismally cloaled
and hooded stood mOtiOnless in the shadows
of the dOorways. As far as the eye could
see in every direction there were endless
throngs
1t was dreary-looking multitude. Every
woman in Berlin is dressed in the deepest
mourning. with faces and shoulders hidden
in long wells. No one is too poor to show this
mark of respect to the illustrious dead. Not
so much dot of color can be found in the
attire of any of the women who move silently
about the city.

All the theatres and public buildings are
closed. Business is practically suspended
while the mourning for the dead goes on.
New Y ork was draped when Grant died,
but her sable decorations We're meagre in the
extreme compared with the funeral emblems
that Berlin exhibits.
The doors of the cathedral were opened at
o'clock yesterday morning. / had worked
my way into a great crowd that stood silently
waiting for an opportunity to take look at
the dead ruler. No one is admitted privately.
The crowd increased'i in front of the cathedral
constantly, and before noon the enormous
number of POO, 600 had gathered. 1t was i'm
possible for those in front to move. The DO
lice were pOwerleSS.
The crush became greater and greater,
until women and children began to scream
for help. Three children were seriously
crushed, and one is reported to the police to
have received fatal injuries.
Near me woman of perhaps sixty-five
years tainted She was raised above the
eighth of mile with her head and limbs
dangling as though the joints were dislocated.
The snow was ground to SluSh and then
became water. Sections of twenty OF thirty
people were admitted at one time
AT O'Clock, after exactly six hours wait
ing, my turn came l hurried into an open
space and was passed rapidly along by the
military.
Everybody was cold and worn with fatigue
In the Cathedral we entered a long bridge
just wide enough for two men to walk breast.
On the right was an altar, and on it the cat
afalque. which was about ten feet high.
The bridge was four feet above the floor.
On the catafalque lay the Emperors coffin.
We were not allowed to stop,

time. 1t is difficult for the most selfish
man to regard such a sight with

A FAMILY DESTROYED.
A Brutal Husband Murders His
Wife, Two Children and Himself

A dispatch from Waterville, Me, tells of
the murder of entire family by Darius NJ.
Warren. He had killed his wife, and after
the Coroner's jury bad found him guilty,
and a complaint had been made out against
him, he waived examination and was about to
be taken to jail when he requested an inter
view with his two children, Cora. aged years,
and Annie aged three. This was granted.
and an officer went with him. A moment
later he drew from his sleeve seven-shooter
and shot the youngest child through the
head. The officer was taken by surprise
that before he could recover the desperate
man had shot Cora through the head and
turned the revolver upon himself, the third
shot taking effect in his heart. The older
girl was instantly killed, the younger was
fatally wounded, and the mother lay dead in
another ROOM covered with bruises from the
top of her head to the soles of their feet.

FREE TRADE IN ENGLAND.

Here is picture Of what free trade
has accomplished, painted by an En-
glish journal
6 The latest published statistics Of
pauperism show that the workhouse
population Of England and Wales is
184, 475, larger number than any re-
corded in the same period within the
limits of the returns. And this, totally
irrespective Of those receiving outdoor
relief. One person in every 153 through
out the kingdom within the walls Of the
warehouses, while in the metropolis it.
self the number has reached the appall-
ing average of one in every seventy-two
Add to these the number Of those receiv-
ing outdoor relief, and the countless
other recipients of public and private
charity, and it will be seen that the
two or three millions reduced to pinch
ing poverty is no figure of rhetoric,
but a horrible truth. The few rich,
growing uniustly still richer, increasing
poor becoming still poorer-that is where
we are after forty years of free trade"
1t only took sixteen years of free trade
in the United States to put the people
in nearly as lamentable condition as
that described above. In 1857 Presi.
dent Buchanan, in message to Con-
gress, declared that the people in the
midst OF unsurpassed agricultural plenty
were starving.

American women who marry foreign
counts instead of some honest native me-
chanic, come to grief very soon and find
that their counts are of no account and
generally dead beats and frauds. Miss
Virginia Knox, OF Pittsburg, the daugh-

Di Montcaleri at her home on the 10th
Of October last with three ceremonies, be-
fore the Mayor of Pittsburg and in the
Episcopal and Catholic Churches. On
October 13 the couple sailed for France
to occupy the Counts castle on the Adri.

the Hotel Bellevue, and early on Monday
morning the guests OF the house were
aroused by the shrieks of the wife because

The unfortunate bride told the mana
ger she had been thoroughly deceived 10
her husband. She believed him to be q
man of means, but learned too late that
he was not only penniless but an inhu.
man brute. At first she supplied him
liberally with money, but nothing seemed
to satisfy him.
When she refused to give him more he
commenced beating her. The manager
told the couple he could not allow guests
to be disturbed and that they must leave
the hotel Immediately. The unfortunate
wife, who deeply felt the disgrace, burs
into tears and pleaded TO be allowed Z
remain, but the manager was inexorable
They were obliged to leave and tool

Rub your duds with Tulip Soap.

The Sewing Machine canvasser is
numerous, frequent aud ubiquitous. He
invades the sanctity of your dwelling with
the freedom of an old friend, and with tho
air of one who has come to stay. Some
times he proves ga blessing in disguise"
as the sequel to my story will show. My
aunt has long had strong and outspoken
aversion to these modest missionaries
who retaliate by sending every new and
verdant canvasser to her house. Last
week the familiar Sewing Machine wagon
halted at her door, not seeking a custom
or however, for the gentlemanly agent
only begged to leave his machine until
his broken wagon could be repaired. Wo.
manly curiosity prompted her to examine
the machine in his absence, and the mer-
its of the "New High Arm Davis" did
the rest. She was pleased, and, on the
agents return, begged him to exhibit the
machine. "Would he sell it?" "No, it
was already sold and would have been de-
livered but for the broken wagon ~
He could, however, IL she wished, bring
her another just like It." mo, indeed
She must have this identical machine, "
and so the poor fellow was obliged to
leave the machine and receive the money
for It, He won his wager Of $40, but my
aunt is so thoroughly pleased with hei
matchless "Davis Machine" and SO happy
in its possession that she freely forgives
the deception.

Hotel Beat Strikes Milford.
Several weeks ago stranger registered
at the Railroad House, Frenchtown. He
purported to be an agent engaged in buy
ing up pumpkins for shipment to the city
markets, but, according to our informant,
no pumpkins were purchased or shipped
by him. After sojourning at the hotel
for several weeks he left and hung up his
hat at Apgar's hostelry, where his stay
lasted for week. He neglected to pay
his board bill at either place. On Mon

The stealing of an engine, tender and
express car Of passenger train on The
Mexican Central by three masked men at
point sixty-two miles below El Paso,
Tex, caps the climax OF train robbing
audacity. The fellows abandoned their
capture some six miles further on, get
ting but ~, 900 for their desperate work.
AS they cut the telegraph wires they had
ample time to escape. As the robbers
are alleged to be Americans, the Mexican
Government may feel disposed to make
some representations to this country on
the subject. The most surprising part OF
the affair, however, Is that despite the
frequency OF these outrages in that To-
cality no attempt appears to be made
toward providing efficient protection fol
trains.
