The Peaceful Policy of the Late EN-
peror Declared His own.
BERLIN, March l2-An extraordinary
edition of the official Gazette contains the
following proclamation from Emperor
Frederick:
To my People: The Emperor has ended his
glorious life. In the much loved father whom |
bewail, whom my royal house with me laments
in deepest sorrow, the faithful Pruss.an people
have lost their fame-crowned King; the German
nation the founder or its unity ana the newly
risen empire the first German Emperor Ills IL
lustrious name will remain inSeparably bound up
with all the greatness of the German fatherland,
in whose new creation the strenuous labor OF
the Prussian people and Princes has met with
ITS most splendid reward while King william
raised tue PruSslan army TO the heights onats
earnest vocation by never-t firing care. ma
tons father he laid sure foundation for the
victories which were afteTward gained by Ger
man arms under his leadership, and out
of which sprang the national unity. He thereby
secured TO the Empire position OF power,
such as up to that time every German heart
had yearned for, but had scarcely Jared to hope
for and that which he won for MS people IN
honorable death bringing fight he vas destined
to strengthen and benetcially increase by the
long and peaceful toll of his labOriouS years OF
government. Safely resting upon her strength,
Germany stands forth esteemed in the Council
of the nations. aud deserves only to enjoy in
peaceful progress that which she has woD.
That this is so we have to thank En-
perOr " IMAM. In his never WaNerlnB deVOJOn
to duty and his interchangeable activity conse-
Grated TO the welfare of the fat erlaAd, he was
supported by his reliance upon the sell sacrific-
ing devotion of which the Prussian people had
given unVarying proofs. and in which all the
German races shared all the rights and duties,
which are connected with the crown and my
house, and which for the time that according
to Gods will, may be allotted me to rule | am
resolved to faithfully preserve the name now
passed to me. lmbued with the greatness Of
my mis- ion, shall make IT my whole endeavor
TO continue the fabric in the spirit in which 1t
was founded-to make Germany the center Of
peace and TO foster her welfare. To my faith
ful people who have stood by my house through
out the history OF the whole century, ! offer my
unb0unded confidence. for | am convinced 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
Hohenzoern. My crown rests henceforward
securely as it does upon the devotion
of the people, to the government of which am
now called and of wnicl | solemnly promise to
be a faithful king, both in happiness and in
sorrow. May God grant me his blessing and
strength to carry out this work, to which my
life shall henceforth be devoted.

A JUDGE AND HIS srENoGRApHER.
Sensational Elopement Reported From
Wichita, Kas.


WICHITA, kAS, March IA most SEN
sational affair has developed in the elope-
ment OF Judge f. c. Ruggles, man of -,
with Katie 5teinmetz, his pretty stenOgra-
pher of 20. The couple left about a week
ago tor parts unknown, but the wife and
daughter, both prominent in society, have
been endeavoring TO hush the matter. The
facts did not become public until to-day.
Judge Ruggles came to this city from
Cleveland, o.. five years ago, and rapidly
rose into prominence as a lawyer, becoming
one of the leading attorneys in the State,
and acquired considerable wealth. Before
his departure he mrrtgaged or sold all his
property, even to his law library, and must
have carried away with him several hun
bred thousand dollars.
The Judge is pompous, di5nihed and
learned. When he came to Wichita, being
man Of ability, he rapidly rose into prom
inence and found himself connected with
most Of the prominent cases Of Southwestern
Kansas. At the same time he had gained
considerable wealth and lived III a magnih-
cent mansion in North Topeka avenue in
the center Of the fashion and wealth of the
city. His companion was beautiful girl,
not over 70, bright and vivacious. She
came here about year ago from Southern
Ohio and soon after her arrival was en-
ployed as private SECRETARY for Ragglfs.
An intimacy almost Immediately
sprang up between them. The Judge
would accompany his employe to her
room, give her rich and costly presents,
and was most attentive in every way.
Months ago the Judge conceived the idea of
writing legal treatise on marriage. He
built himself little house adjoining his
home, and there, with his private secretary,
betook himself to enjoy seclusion. Not
even members Of his own family were al
lowed 10 intrude there for fear of disturb
ing HIM. The Judges fine property was i'll
the meantime going by piecemell Every
thing was sold. At last he disappeared,
