The story OF Christian Lorsch.

Some months ago man named Christian
Lolsch, who had, with his wife and three
children, emigratcd from Germany, reached
this city. a stranger in q strange land,
ignorant Of its customs and the ways.of its
people, unfamiliar with its language, and
without single friend, be found it difficult
matter to find employment. He worked at
odd jobs whenever he could get them, but
could not earn enough to keep the wolf from
bowling ct his door. His family took SICK
and starvation stared them in the face. In
q moment of dcsperation-it seemed at that
time the mockery Of despair-he sat down and
wrote letter to his old liege, the Emperor
William, of Germany. Into that letter, writ
ten in the simplicity that ever attends upon
sincerity, he poured his hearts saddest sor-
rows, sealed it and mailed it as onerln
dream. and returned to battle with the world
and fight against his hapless fate.
-Four or five weeks rolled around and one
morning the mail carrier left q registered
letter ct his door, Something. Of Lorsch's
astonishment can be imagined when it IS
known that on opening the letter be found it
to contain draft for comfortable sum OF
money and q personal letter from the en-
peror bidding him to be of good cheer, but II
he could not find steady employment and
wished to return to Germany ne (the en-
peror) would send money to pay the expenses
Of the family's return to Germany. After
the first transports of Joy Lorsch took tie
letter to the Rev. Hertzlcr, pastor OF the
German Methodist church of this city. The
reverend gentleman interested. himself In
the mans behalf and secured,fo him the
janitorship at the Young Mems Christian
association building, where he is now work
ing. When the news Of the cmperor's death
reached this city Lorsch was met on tho
street by gentleman, who, seeing that lie
was plunged into deepest grief, inquired its
cause. It was then that the storyias hero
narrated came out, and it is safe to assert
that not in America or in the fathcrland did
the late Emperor William have more sin
cere mourner than Christian Lorsch, OF
Peoria.-Peoria Qlls.) Democrat.

couple of years ago, briefly referring to this
in a sermon, gave some instances IN which
God had struck swearers dead ut the moment
of their profanity. That sermon brought to
me from many parts of this land and other

LOYAL WORDS.
Fitzhugh Lee Addresses the Demo
Gratis of Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, July 5.-A Democratic
mass meeting was held in the Academy
of Music tonight, which was largely at.
tended. Among the prominent guests ol
the evening were Governor Jack.
son, Governor Fitzhugh Lee, Rep
resentative w. G. P. Breck-
enridge, Senator Reagan and others.
Gov. Lee alluded to the proceedings oi
the Convention, and congratulated the
Democrats before him on not having to
contend with the great question as to
the right of State to withdraw from the
Union. The decision of that question
has been left to the sword and by the
sword the question had been decided,
and to- day Virginia joined all the other
States of the Union in the
single desire to promote the glory
and grandeur and growth of the
American Republic. [Applause.] He
eulogized the public actions of President
Cleveland, and at the mention of the
Presidents name the large au-
dience broke into applause. which
was repeated whenever reference
was made to the action of the
st. Louis Convention in making stronger
a strong ticket by the selection Of the
Noble Roman for the Vice-Presidency.
The name of General Robt. E. Lee, as it
fell from the lips of his rela-
tive was received with tumultuous
applause. He said the Government was
not stained with treason as charged by
John Sherman, for General Lee had fought
as others had fought for what he
thought to be his constitutional privi-
leges and rights. Referring to the tariff
issue he denounced as untrue the charges
that the Democratic party was free
trade party, and declared the Mills bill
was the embodiment of the Democratic
doctrine of protection to the many, not
the enrichment of the few.
Gov. Lee was followed by District At
torney John r. Fellows, of New York,
and Congressman Breckinridge.

ton of Democratic Clubs protests against

on the Chinese resolution of the st.
Louis platform. 1t was stated that there
was a minority report on the Chinese
resolution. Willis, of Kentucky moved

was adopted.
! On motion of Mr.. Schley, of Wiscon-
sin, it was ordered that the officers OF

upon President Cleveland and Judge
Thurman, and pledge to them its hearty
support in the impending campaign, A
resolution commencing the reelection of
