The effect Of the emperor's death in Der.

hours the bright summer look oiths streets

black and men with bands Of Grape tied

Prince Bismarck did not go to Potsdam
from Berlin after the meeting of the minis
Jerial council. where he formally anuouno-
ed the decease OF the emperor. BY order
OF the Evangelical church council the bells
will be tolied at specified hours for fourteen
days succeeding in all the Protestant
churches Of the Kingdom. Prince Bismarck
and all the members OF the ministry, the
aides-de-camp and the officers on duty in
the palace were admitted to the room in
which the remains lie.
A touching scene occurred at the bed
side while the emperor's life was passing
away. Bismarck had called to bid his dy.
ing master a last farewell. The emperor
was thoroughly conscious, and taking the
hand Of the aged chancellor in his feeble
grasp, and mOtioniug to the empress to
draw nearer he took her hand and Joined
it with that Of Bismarck, thus giving a
silent and pathetic token OF his desire for
a reconciliation OF all differences between
his wife and the prime minister.

In his new book Professor James Bryce
gives his views of affairs in this country in
such a way as to command the respect of
American readers for his fairness and for the
care he has exercised both in seeing and re-
porting. His book will be appreciated in
this country much more than the books of
most other Englishmen who have tried to
describe Us have been.
Another distinguished observer has just
made public some impressions which were
made upon him during his stay in this coun-
try. That is Max O'Rell, and his screed is
published in the January Forum. He feels
that the Americans are great people. He
saw no stupid looking faces. The FIRST thing
which caught his attention was the thinness
of the men and the plumpness of the women,
but the American woman, whose husband
rivals the European in devotion, does not, in
his opinion, repay 1.-THE of the devotion
of Americans, the generic American does not
exist as yet to him. The national character
istic traits do not express themselves in the
typical man. The American is full of con-
trasts and contradictions. You cannot pre-
diet what he will do next. He is equal to
any form Of eocentricity and to any amount
Of presumption. With all our lavish use of
money, Max O'Rell does not consider avarice
as a national vice. The present governors of
America seem to him to be the Irish. The
apathy of refined and intelligent Americans
in Political matters is difficult for him to un-
derstand, but the well read, well bred Amer
lean is confessed to be the most delightful of
men, and the best American society repre-
sents the wittiest, most genial, refined and
hospitable persons he has ever met with.
But, for all this, our people have, in his
opinion, missed the path thst leads to real
happiness. They do not know how to live.
The American is so hotly engaged in his
headlong chase after sfhuence that he cannot
stop to enjoy himself. His domestic joys
are more shadowy than real. The French
man locks the door of his shop and goes
home to dinner, saying to himself: 'I want
to live as well and as long as can; know
I shall never have another chance
| The American discounts the future, and
hopes for what he may never attain.

Woman cannot have all the rights she
wants in Belgium. The Belgian courts have
decided against the request of Mile. Pepelin
to be admitted to practice at bar. They take
the ground that woman have other social
duties to perform, and that the laws and Gus

zeitung makes an interesting comparison.
The French artillery, it says, has ten thou
sand more horses than the Germay artillery
in time of peace. Its officers are numerically
superior. A longer time of active service
enables the French artillerymen to acquire a
more complete instruction. The French
possess shrapnsl similar to that of the Ger
mans, and they have powder that explodes
almost without noise and without smoke.
The secret of this powder is difficult to get
at because it rests in the method of its manu-
facture and not in the composition of the
substance. Finally, the ballistie qualities of
the French cannon render it superior to the
German cannon. The French material is
heavier than the German, and, although the
horses are more numerous the German horses
are more vigorous.
High license continues to work well
enough in Missouri. Under the law the min
imum fee for State and county licenses is
$3.50, and the maximum is 81 200, but incor-
porated cities and towns are at liberty to fix
the fee at any figure they please, or to with
hold licenses altogether. Six years ago there
were in Missouri about 5000 saloons; at
present there are less than 5000, two-thirds
of which are in st. Louis. In sixty-fEe
counties of the State there are no saloons
whatever. In forty-thrse of these. slaoons
have been abolished by popular vote under
the local option law, and in twenty-five
petitions for licenses have been refused.
Seventeen eities have adopted the no-license
system under the local option law. There
are twelve counties, in addition to the sixty
five cited above, which have no licenses out
side one city of more than {, 800 population,
and fourteen more counties which have only
from one to three saloons. The fees range
from $3.50 in st. Louis to $4,000 in smaller
cities. There are many towns in the State of
from 600 to 1900 population which have
no saloons.

A petroleum engine is now being exhibit
ed in England, and is attracting great deal
of attention. The petroleum is placed in a
tank to the bed of the engine, and is forced
through pipe into on apartment where q
blast of air turns it into fine spray. A
small battery in the rear supplies an electric
spark, and the spray coming in contact with
this electric spark furnishes the motive pow
er. The engine works with admirable regu-
larity. The piston needs no oiling, the pe-
troleum vapor filling this necessity.

Mr.. Charles F. Mayer, the new president
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company,
is about Eve feet eleven inches tall, and is
spare and thin, though of large frame, but
he is all energy and activity in movement.
He is very precise and vigorous in manner.
His face is thin and features prominent; his
sharp eyes and acquiline nose, long strong
jaw, high forehead and large head showing
him at once to be an uncommon man. In
conversation he can be pleasing, and talks
logically and persaasively, but when aroused
is very determining and aggressive. All
through his life he has been successful, and,
while he inherited large fortune and earned
another, he makes no display, because he has
no time to indulge in luxury and extrava-
gance. Not only tireless worker himself,
he inspires all who surround him to be in
| dustrious.

quiring them before voting to take oath that
they were not members of the Mormon
church by getting themselves excommuni-
Gated and then received again into the church
after election. A law will now be passed re-
quiring an oath that the voter has not been

Democrats showed some willingness to lsgis

their long Indifference and injustice. Terri
torial admission bills we've even made con-

But now it Ia announced that the committee
on territories has decided not to call up any
bill until the middle of January. Even were
the bill they will then present not one which
the Senate win disspprove, still the fixing of
so late day for considering the territorial
question, a day only six weeks distant from
the end of the session, when the appropria-
ton bills will yet remain for consideration
and when handful of objeotors defeat al-
most any measure, indicates that there will
be no action in this regard at this session.

Arbor Day, which originated in Nebraska,

of nearly million acres of forest land in
that State alone. The Importance of forest
culture is illustrated by the fact that the
value of the annual forest product of the

double that of our wheat crop, and ten times
more than the yield of our gold and silver
