EMPEROR WILLIAM I'll.
HE is a Military Wan and Lacks Any
Degree of Popularity.

Crown Prince William, who now succeeds
his father as emperor of Germany and King
of Prussia, is a young man of entirely Prus-
sian and military training and views. He is
a HohenZollern of the early Hohenzollern
type junkcr, in all that the name implies.
He has no place at all in the hearts Of the
South Germans, and, it may be added, not
too great one in the hearts of the Prussians
who, with all their admiration of military
matters have just appreciation of the fit
ness of things, and have seen with pain the
young hothead's opposition to his father
when the latter was still crown prince.
If the Prussians could express their wishes
freely they would hail with gladness the sue
censorship Of his brother, Prince Henry, who
is destined to be the future admiral of the
German navy, and is a youth of excellent
and amiable character and exceedingly
popular.
In appearance the new emperor is any
thing but heroic. Though really 80 he has
the look of 25. He has nothing of the stall
wart characteristics Of the Hohenzollerns,
though he is said by his admirers
to bear a strong resemblance to the
great Frederick. He is physically some
what deformed, his left arm being
withered since his birth and entirely use
less, defect which he always tries to con-
ceal He is moreover afflicted with assesses
in the interior of the ears, which it is feared
may ultimately develop into Inflammation
of the brain.
his general appearance is that of a young
man who has inherited constitutional
troubles. In disposition he is brusque, and
often displeased. Any intelligence he has
is bestowed upon his military duties. He
now holds the rank of ma general in
the Prussian army, after having served for
about four years as colonel of the Ziethen
Hussars of the Guard
Born in 1885, he was educated at Cassel
and Bonn. In The year 1881 he married
daughter of the late Duke of Augustenburg,
princess not of royal blood, and by her has
family of four boys, the eldest of whom
was born in January, 1882 His married
life is reported to be the reverse of happy, as
his wife is neither beautiful nor captivating,
has become soured and embitterrd by Ger.

SCALP IN THE MAILS.
Strange Curiosity Found i'm the De ad

The dead letter office gets good many
curious articles through the mails, and the
employees who open the packages are ac-
customed to many strange sights The con-
tents of package received on Monday, how
ever, take the lead. 1t was the scalp of a
white woman, stretched out on bent will
low frame, and from the marks on the pack
age, the conclusion was reached that it was
a trophy of some Indian warrior. The hair
was long and dark, and the scalp had evi
IDENTITY been removed hastily, Judging from
the jagged edges. 1t is supposed that it was
kept as curiosity. An effort will be made to
find the owner, and then, probably, the his
tory of the scalp will be made known.

Following and Fishing.

inches around the waist and forty seven
around the chest. The President SAID
that he is very fond Of a sacque coat. and
would rather wear them than any other,

any othertthan a Prince Albert coat.

In view OF all the facts can 1t not be most
truthfully said that prohibition not only does
not injure but is very great help To any
town. Before Des Moines had Prohibition 1t
had seventy saloons now it has none. and
yet, notwithstanding adverse circumstances
it expended in 1887 for public and private i'm
provements over four millions and a-half OF
dollars, transacted a wholesale, manufac-
turing and miscellaneous business OF over
fifty six millions of dollars, and raised its
population from about forty-six thousand to
over fifty one Thousand; it has not received
one dollar of blood money from saloons. md

IF that is the way Prohibition kills towns"

well pray for similar death. -Tndepende,lt

After the following comes the fishing, yet
the Master has a word Of encouragement
which we should not overlook Follow

distrustingly of their ability to do Chists

catch souls. But Christ nowhere says we are
indeed he most emphatically teaches that we
are not, until he has taught us and trained
