BERLIN, Dec. 22,-The Emperor hal
been so Ill as to be compelled to keer
bis bed since Thursday morning. He
arose for the first time to-day, and re-
ceived official reports, His malady was
acatarrh which provoked a recurrence
Of the old trouble with his ear, There
Is also in his throat more than the usual
trouble experienced in such cases.
An injudlcious note on the subject
was printed In the National Zeiiung. 1t
is intended, OF course, TO ease the public,
but had an entirely different effect and
caused almost incessant inquiries to be-
made at the palace. The Emperor for.

in iesting spirit.
MILITARY AMUSEMENT.
Thistrouble originated In a cold caught
while the Emperor watched the effect Of
a night alarm in the garrison at Pots
dam, one OF his military anusements
being to test the rapidity with which the
various regiments can be turned out at
unexpected moments. But that Is not
His Majesty's only military amusement.
At the field maneuYers ut BOrnsted u
regiment oil cavalry was suddenly ordered
to advance at full gallop.
II rode heller skelter down the badly
lighted streets OF Potsdam. Some OF the
horses were killed aud several OF the
townspeople were ridden down and
badly hurt. This caused much public
irritation and was one Of the reasons
why there was very little sympathy with
the Emperor In his illness among his
people In that part Of the empire.

After deciding to purchase Piano the next and most
important question is where byto this end VIC beg to

Is-Bay dealer who strictly reliable and conscer-
tious-who able and willing make his promises good
2d-Buy Of dealer who handles instruments Of an

We modesty claim to be that kind Of dealer and to

In this connection take special pride in referring to
the late Improved EMERSON PIANO that is now receiving
such favorable comment from the Press Artists and Dealers
and is referred combining in remarkable degree the
requisite qualities Of First-class Piano.
The manufacturers have such unlimited confidence in the
EMERSON that they warrant them for seven years.

Too Good for q Dude.

A pale, tired looking woman entered
q car on a State street grip train the
other. evening. Her arms were full Of
bundles, and she was accompanied by
about three years growth Of vociferous
Young America. The weary mother
dropped Into the only seat left in the
car, and her precocious son made Q
bee line toward the grip. She yelled
at him to come back, but he paid nc
heed to her calls. UP near the front
door sat pleasant faced young girl,
who was escorted by a dudish young
man Hastily directing him to get up,
she grabbed Young America BY the
arm as he passed her and gently drew
him into the seat beside her. He
struggled and fought, but her grip was
firm. She looked down on him and
began to talk in a persuasive tone.
Her mobile face assumed such per
feet motherly expression that every
single man in the car wished she were
his wife, and she talked at the little
ayaway until he quit his fdgeting and
became interested. The two carried
on an animated conversation, and
every one in the car wondered how the
girl could interest the boy. She held
him, however, until the poor, tired
mother arose, thanked her with q
grateful look, and called the thorough.
" fascinated hoy. He left the car re.
luctantly, and the dude escort resumed
his seat. That girl was too good for a

I was the other day looking at the

that she might have had a good COM

testimony Of all the portraits, that she

Inoandesoent Gas Light.

There b apparently an epidemic Of ar.
son this spring. Two girls, sisters, Of
Summit, N, j., were recently arrested
for setting FIRE to q number Of buildings
One was an overlooking tenement house.
In the room where the Gre was applied
an infant lay asleep in its cradle The
girls left It to its fate with the utmost
indifference One Of the feminine in
cendiaries IL 10, the other 10. The only
explanation they could give Of their
fiendish conduct was that they liked to
see a big blaze and q crowd. It is
thought they may be insane.
About the same time the girls were
discovered band Of boys was unearthed
in q Catholic protectory in New York
whose amusement 1t was to set fire, time
after time, to the schoolhouse and ovt-
buildings. They had no motive, appar-
emily. One Of them, however, at last
confessed that the instigator Of the crime
was his father, who had been discharged
as a workman from the protectory.
But strangest, most diabolical of all
are the organized gangs Of desperate
men in our large cities who make bust
ness Of setting fire to buildings for
share Of the insurance. Their plan is to
fret gain the friendship Of the keeper Of
q small store or shop Then they induce
him to insure his house or stock. The
firebug puts the torch to it; up it goes in
flames. The insurance money is COL
lected, and the firebug and shop owner
share the proceeds. One hundred dollars
is often paid for such a nefarious piece
of work.
For their purpose the men use bologna
sausage bladders filed with benzine. A
fuse Is attached. The fire fiends have
brought their trade to perfection.
Twenty-four such bladders were recently
found under the bed Of one Of the con-
spirators. Another confessed that he
had belonged to an Anarchist organiza-
ton, but had been turned out because of
his unlawful practices. He was so bad
the Anarchists would not have him.

A genuine instance where oil abated
the force Of q raging sea has &C.
CURED off Cape Hatteras. The coast
line steamer Chattahoochie, bound from
Savannah to New York, was struck by
the tremendous April Atlantic storm.
The most dangerous portion Of the At
lantic coast Is that in the vicinity Of
Cape Hatteras. Snow, rain and great
hail stones struck the ship, accompanied
by furious winds. Sea after sea broke
over her decks. An appalling wave
struck her on the port side, then q SINH
lar one on tho starboard. Her cabin wa
filled knee deep with water. Two days
the storm continued. The second day
the captain hove to and stopped the ship.
He hung perforated bags Of oil over the
vessels bows. It lessened the force Of
tho waves and helped the disabled ship to
ride the storm in safety.

which they do this is very interesting.
In North Carolina, on Green river, in

zircon is dug. It is an ore of the metal
chromium, and the mine on Green river
is the only ono thus far known in Amer
ioa. The black crystals of zircon are
reduced by chemical and electric pro-
cesses to fine white powder. This is

over Bunsen burner. In this chimney
Is suspended q hollow cotton wick. It is
no different from any wick except that
it has been thoroughly filed in all its in
terstices with the white powder. The
gas is turned on and q match applied.
Tho fame runs along the cotton wick
and burns 1t up Immediately. But there
is something that does not burn. This is
the zirconia. When the cotton wick Is
all consumed thin, delicate, now white
hollow column Of zirconia is left, exactly
the shape Of the cotton wick. This heats
white hot and CLOVIS like an electric
light It seems almost to last forever if
it does not get broken. This is the new
