Emperor Frederick's Proclamation.

Emperor Frederick's Proclamation.
BERLIN, March l3.-An extra edition
Of the official Gazette contains the fol-
lowing proclamation from Emperor
Frederick: To my people. The en-
peror has ended his glorious life. In
the much loved father whom 1 bewail,
whom my royal house with me laments
in the deepest sorrow, the faithful
Prussian people have lost their fame
crowned king, the German nation the
founder Of Its unity, and the newly risen
empire, the first German Emperor. His
illustrious name will remain inseparably
bound up with the greatness Of the Ger
man fatherland, In whose new creation
the strenuous labor OF the Prussian peo-
pie and princes has met with Its most
splendid reward, while King William
has raised the Prussisn army to the
heights Of lis earnest vocation by never
firing care. As the nations father he
laid sure the foundation for the victories
which were sfterwsrd gained by the
German army under his leadership, and
out Of which sprang the national
unity. He thereby secured to the
empire . position OF power suoh
as up to that time every German heart
had yearned for, but had scarcely dared
his people 10 an honorable death dealing
fight, he was destined to strengthen and
beneficially increase by . long and
peaceful term Of laborious years OF gov
eminent. Safely resting upon her
own strength, Germany stands
forth, esteemed In the council OF the na-
lions, and desires only to enjoy In peace
full progress that which she has won.
That this 10 SO we have to thank the
Emperor william. In bis never waver-
ing devotion to duty, and his indefa-
tigsble activity oonsecrsted to the well
fare Of Fatherland, he Was supported by
his reliance upon the self-sscrificinR
devotion Of which the Prus-
sian people had given unvarying
proofs, and 10 which all the
German races shared. All the rights
and duties which are connected with
the crown and my house, and for which
for the time that according to Gods
will may be allotted to me to rule, am
resolved to faithfully preserve the name
now passed to me. Imbued with the
greatness Of my mission, shall make 1t
my whole endeavor to continue the
fabric In the spirit In which it was
founded, to make Germany the centre
Of peace and to foster her welfare. To
my lbituiui poOplo WIN nave stOOu ny
my house throughout the history OF the
whole century, In good as In evil, offer
my unbounded confidence, for l am con-
WINGED that the basis OF the unbreakable
bond between the sovereign and the
people, which. independently OF every
change In the life Of the state,
forms the unalterable Inheritance
OF the house OF HOhenzollern.
Ny crown rests henoefor ward securely,
as IL does, upon the devotion OF the
people. To the government OF which |
am now called, and Of which l solemnly
propose to be q faithful king, both In
happiness and In sorrow, may God
grant me this blessing and strength to
carry out this work 10 which my life
shall hencefOrth be devoted. (Signed)
FREDERICK,
Berlin, March l2th, 1888.

A Card of Thanks.

l desire to express my heartfelt thanks
to the members Of Elk Lodge No. So,
Knights OF Pythias, OF San Antonio,
Texas, and through them to Cosmopoli-
tan Lodge No. 6. OF Chicago, Ills, for
their kind assistance during my hus-
bands long illness, and especially so for
the brotherly spirit In which 1t was ad-
ministered. We came here seeking
health and life. too late, alasl We came
strangers IN q strange land and found In
the noble Knights Of Pythias sympa-
thetlc hearts to encourage, tender and
willing hands to aid. Only the widows
and the orphans far from home and
kindred can feel what balm to stricken
hearts 1t lie to find, when not expected,
the full measure Of brotherly love and
affection. MRS. EUGENE Z. CoMsTocK.

Rather Ridiculous.

The Freie Presse has excited some
ridioule 10 the citizens by declaring thai
Sir Morell Mackenzie, the physician at.
tending the present emperor OF Ger
many, is q "quack." The absurdity OF
this charge carries Its own refutation
because Sir Morell Mackenzie is q REQ
ognlzed authority on the disease he is
treating, and would not have been Sc
lected BY Queen Victoria and accepted
by the emperor had he not have been so.
OF course there was considerable ZEAL
ously on the part Of German doctors
but the most Of them are compelled to
admit that his diagnosis and treatment
is correct.

After supper all left the dining room In

fire. The firemen were soon on the
spot, and finding 1t impossible to do
anything for the burning building
turned their attention to the house Of
Mr.. Woodruff and Abbey. and but for
their efficient services In that respect 1t
is questionable whether both houses
would not have fallen In the fire.
