MIXED RELATIONSHIP.
A Missouri Man Marries His First, Second
 and Third Cousin.


 X mar<:age of cousins is not a very lmon occurrence, although there is !. law yet in effect in the State of Mis- surf to preventit, says St. Joseph let ! ter to the St. Louis Republic. Taking advantage of that fact, John R. Lewis, Jr., son of a prominent physician of St. Joseph, recently married Miss Louise Quarles, who is his first, second and third cousin. The story of the mixed relationship is long and interesting, but in brief is as follows:
 Some years before the late civil war Charles Quarles and John R. Lewis, ST., who were first cousins. married two sis tors named Johnson at Charlottesville, Va. When the war broke out Quarles left his wife and entered the Southern army. He had been away some time when he learned that his wife had given birth to a fine girl baby, but during the sickness that followed had died. The baby lived. and was taken care of by it's dead mothers sister. When tho war | closed Ouarles returned to his home, | and after a short time married his 1 sister-in-law and his child's aunt. By 1 this marriage he became the father of several children, and Miss Louise, the 1 young lady married last evening, was l one of them. The second marriage of | Quarles made the child by his first wifs and those by his second wife not only l full cousins but half-sisters as we'll. 1 I-ao marriage of the two cousins to the | two sisters made MT. and Mrs. Lewis 1 first, second and third cousins. The marriage of the two sisters to the two cousins made them first cousins, says one of the parties interested, which wonld make the children third cousins l to their uncles and fourth cousins to each other. In attendance at the we'd l ding was Mrs. Octavia Cochran, of 1 Bonneville, Mo-, the daughter of Quarles' first wife and the cousin and 1 half sister of tho bride. Tho Republic reporter called at tho residence of the brides mother, where he met not only the mother but two of her sisters.
 While d portion of them traced the
 relationship between the newly-mar
 ricd couple so as to make them first
 second and third cousins, the others
 made it go as far as tho fourth
 Whether it goes this far is matter ci
 doubt, but there is none whatever about
 the husband and wifo being first, sec
 ond and third cousins. Both partie!
 belong to prominent families, who have
 never taken much interest in tracin: | the relationship.

GREETING STANLEY The Explorers Triumphal
 Entry Into Bagamoyo.
RECEPTION BY CAPT. wIssMANN
Stanley Made an Eloquent Speech and Thanked God He Had Done His Duty.

ae Said His Motto Had Always Been
 "Onward'-Emin Pasha Nearly Killed
 in Zanzibar-He Falls Out of Window
 and His Skull is Fractured Doctors
 Have Little Hope.
 BERLIN, Dec. 6.-Captain Wissmann reports his meeting with Stanley as follows: On Tuesday Dec. 8, Stanley, Emin, Casati and Wissman met at Atoni, on the Kingani River, and drank one another's health and proposed and re- sponded to loyal toasts in bumpers of champagne.
 Captain Wissmann provided horses for Emin and Stanley and the whole party made their triumphal entry into Bagamoyo at II o'clock Wednesday morning. Bagomoyo was profusely deco rated with bunting and green arches and palms were waving from every window. Wissman's force and the Ger man man-of-war Sperber fired salutes and all the vessels in the roadstead were dressed with flags.
 Captain Wissmann entertained the party at luncheon, and the captain of the Sperber formally welcomed Stanley. Then Emin, on behalf of the Emperor of Germany, and a large number o1 Europeans arrived to greet Stanley, and in the evening there was a grand ban quet at which perfect flood of cham pagne was served.
 The German Consul proposed a toast to Queen Victoria, and Captain Miss mann toasted Stanley, alluding to him as his master in African exploration Stanley made an eloquent speech in re ply, thanking God that he had done his duty. He referred with emotion to the soldiers whose bones were bleaching il the forest and remarked that his motto had always been ''Onward." He alse testified to the Divine influence whicl had guided him in his work.
 Emin then toasted the Kaiser ant Lieutenant Stoirs responded for Stan leys officers. Lieutenant Bracken burg proposed toast to Captain Wiss mann, which was responded to witt tremendous cheers, the whole compan, joining in the song For He's Joll, Good EellOW.'

EMIN PASAA INJURED.
He Falls Out of a Window and Fracture
 His Skull.

He Falls Out of a Window and Fractures
 His Skull.
 ZANZIBAR, Dec. 6.-After enduring the hardships of many years residence in the interior of Africa and the fatigue and dangers of his journey to the sea, it has been the fate of Emin Pasha to re- ceive an injury which is likely to result in his death. The Pasha is very near sighted, and habitually wears glasses. Yesterday he attempted to go about his room without them and unconsciously walked out of the window, falling some distance to the ground.
 He was immediately picked up and conveyed into the house, where it was found that he had sustained fracture of the skull, which all the doctors at Bagamoyo. except Stanley's own physi- elan, pronounced fatal. Stanleys doc tor sustains the opinion of his col leagues that Emin is in very critical condition, but expresses hope that he may be able to save his life. As it is the Pasha can not, under the most favorable circus tances, be removed from Bagamoyo for at least ten days.

KAISER AND GRENADlER.
kn Incident Which Greatly Amused Tv
 Mighty E,nperors.

An Incident Which Greatly Amused Two :
 Mighty Enperors. An amusing incident took place at Berlin on the occasion of the banque given by the officers of the ''Kaiser Al exander von Russland" regiment to the Czar and to Emperor William, says Vienna correspondent of the New York Tribune. During the dinner the two monarchs, who sat side by side, were served and waited upon by Captain Won Hover and the lieutenant of tho color company As soon as dessert had beer put upon tho table the three officers in question resumed treir seats, cigars wero lighted, and a less constrained and ceremonious tone began to reign among those present. When about to light fresh cigar, Emperor William suddenly turned round and asked a stal wart grenadier who was stationed at at tention against the wall just behind the imperial chair to hand him knife for the purpose of cutting off the cigar-end. Utterly taken aback by the request, the worthy soldier looked about him helplessly fer a knife. There was none to be obtained from anywhere nearer than the other
 
 1 thinking that the man had not heard 1 his request, repeated it in louder and 1 slightly sharper tones. Realizing that l his majesty was hecoming impatient i and that there was no time to be lost, the grenadier, with look of despera ton on his face, dived into his trou, sers' pocket and fshed out a gigantic and somewhat rusty clasp-knife of the 1 pig-sticking class, and smelling strong. ly as if it had been recently used to cut | up ''wurst.' This, after opening, he handed to the Emperor. The latter, on having uch an instrument suddenly and unexpectedly thrust under his im- perial nose, started back in alarm, gagged and sniffed at it for moment, and then, grasping the whole situation. burst into roar of laughter in which he was joined by the Czar and every | body else present. the unfortunate sol | iier meanwhile remaining at attention without muscle of his face moving, but with look of despair in his eyes. This, however, disappeared when, after cutting off the cigar-end with the jack. knife in question the Emperor handed it back to him with a couple of twenty mark gold pieces and the good-hu' mored remark: ''Here, my friend, you should keep this knife in future as . souvenir of the present occasion"

Judge Anderson has ruled that the church is incompatible with the oath of allegiance to the constitution of the United States, and that an alien who has taken the former is not fit to become a citizen. Ordinarily no inquiry is applies for citizenship. But when the applicant openly vows allegiance to a church which puts itself above the con- stitutlon of the United States and teaches a doctrine whose practice is in violation of the law of the land naturali- zation is very properly refused by the courts. To grant it would be to abuse American citizenship.

How to Build Grain Bins,

All bins should be made of such sizes as will hold an even number of bushels, and by having marks around the bins inside tho contents of a partly filled bin may be known. Thus, if tho floor of a bin is 50 inches long by 43 wide inside, every inch in depth equals one bushel. A bin 100 inches long by 43 wide holds two bushels in each inch of depth. Thus a bin may be made to measure it. self by marking the depth in inches on tho ends and sides and levelinT tho grain.

Tho hereditary Prince of Meiningen, brother-in-law of tho German Emperor, accompanied the latter to Athens to at tend tho wedding of Princess Sophie. Great preparations were made in Greek scientific circles for his reception. The Prince is probably the cleyerest mem Der of the royal family, and is especially noted for his knowledge of modern Greek. He has translated several of the German classics into that language, and so suc- cessfully that tho society ''Parnassus' elected him an honorary member.

FEDERAL CONTROL OF ELECTIONS.

The republican papers are wondering why President Harrison failed to recom- mend federal control of elections, in his message to congress, as per programme laid out. The Iowa State Register (re- publican) of November IA, in making a forecast of the message said: Ut is stat ed quite positively at Washington that President Harrison will make a very strong recommendation in his message to congress in favor of federal control of election, at which congressman are elect ed. It is to be hoped that he will. A recommendation of that sort would be seconded by all falr-minded people, and appropriate legislation on this subject would be welcomed north and south The republican party is now in a posit- ion where it can not stand still and take no action on this subject. It will have control of each branch of the next con- gress and it will be held responsible if no attempt is made to secure honest cleo tions.''
 It Is unnecessary to say that the es- teemed Register was false prophet, President Harrison consulted Messrs Quay and Clarkson on this important matter and learned that federal control of elections would prove boomerang to the republican party. Hence is painful silence on the matter.

Telep homes in Austria

Long distance telephonic communica. tion was opened on October 1 in Austria between Vienna and Prague, a distance of two hundred and twenty miles. Every subscriber in Vienna can now communicate with Prague, and every word can be perfectly understood and the voice recognized. In connection with this news the London Star gets rather a good joke on the Daily News, who first announced the opening Their correspondent mentions as curi- ous fact that it has been observed that those who listen at Prague hear mora clearly than those who listen in Vienna, and remarks the reason has not been explained. The Star heads it's para graph, ''They speak plainer in Vienna n and says the reason seems clear enough.

vERMoNT,s DESERTED FARMS.

VERMONT'S DESERTED FARMS.
 Years ago Stephen A. Douglas de- clared that Vermont was the best state in the union to move away from. Still the papers published up among the Green Mountains declare that farms there have not been deserted because the climate is severe and the soil has lost its original fertility. They say the people have moved away because they are enterprising. Many have taken up farms in the west for the reason that they could raise larger crops.
 Vermont is now trying to increase its population and find persons to till its deserted farms by bringing over some colonies of Swedes. They are promised farms at the rate of from S3 to S5 per acre, with the buildings ''thrown in.'' Each family is also to have present of a COW, yoke of oxen and some farming tools. Towns will give each family a small sum of money and help them move from the nearest railway station. The colonists will have long time in which to pay for the land.
