BIsMARcK's EYES ARE OPEN.
He Wants to Know How Much We Are
Crippled by the Samoan Disaster.

CT1pD1eQ Oy Lle Samoan O1SaSCeT.
WASHINGTON, april 4.-The German
Minister to-day received a telegram in
cipher from Prince Bismarck instructing
him to cable at the earliest moment the
names of the vessels ordered by the
Secretary of The Navy to proceed to
Samoa and take the place of those
wrecked by the hurricane there of March
Is; also, the number of men and officers
carried by each ship, its tonnage and
horsepower, the number, size and kind
of guns, whether the vessels are
equipped with torpedoes, and whether
the sending of reinforcements to Samoa
will weaken the American navy in any
other part of the world to any consider
able extent. The Minister was also in
structed to find out and report to the
German Foreign Office without loss Of
time the condition of the new vessels in
process of construction.
The genuineneSS of the dispatch may
be denied by the German authorities,
but the New York World correspondent
is able, to vouch for its absolute accu-
racy. 1t will be remembered that sew
eral German naval anG military experts
have visited this country since the ap-
pearance of the Samoan war cloud for
the purpose of reporting to the German
War Office upon the condition of our
naval and military armamentS. From
the instructions received by the German
Minister to-day, however, it would ap-
pear that Prince Bismarck wishes to pro-
vide himself with later and more accu-
rate information.

blowing hard and there was slight
shower of hail. 1t was bitterly cold.
The ladders shook under the ascent.

his hands were so cold he might have
slipped. We came down the ladder and
felt much more comfortable when We
were once more on the staircase. The
ascent by elevator will be accom-

spiral staircase requires forty minutes.
By the electric light on the summit it is

Unprecedented Trip of Locomotive.

BUFFALO, April 1.-The new engine,
A. G. Darwin, of the Strong Locomotive
Company, completed tonight one of the
most unprecedented trips in the history
of locomotive engineering, running the
entire distance from Jersey City to
Buffalo on the Erie road, distance of
423 miles, with the regular day express,
which left New York at 9 o'clock this
morning. The engine, which is known
among railroad men as the Missing
Link. came into town with a train OF
nine cars at 1926 p. m, three minutes
ahead Of time The train was hauled
over the steep grades of the Eastern
Delaware, SuSquehanna and Buffalo
divisions of the Erie by the Darwin, :"
where four of the ordinary Erie engines
are usually employed to carry the same
trains.
George Mckee, the engineer, was in
charge of the missing Link" all the
way through. The record made by the
Darwin has only been excelled by
the engine which carried the Jarrett
theatrical troupe On train of three
cars in 1875, on Their trip to the Pacific
coast on the Pennsylvania road from
Jersey City to Pittsburg, distance Of
t44 miles.

Female Pharmacists.

a young lady who was graduated re-
Gently at the Philadelphia College OF
Pharmacy was facetiously called by her
graduates of the male sex their
..pharma-slster. Many women in late
years have become physicians and
nurses; it is. therefore, only proper that
the female medical corps should be COM
pletely equipped by the addition Of
apothecaries to the staff. We see it
stated that there are more than twenty
women pharmacists in the Quaker City,
where they are highly valued for their
efficiency, faithfulness and discreetueSs.
Women trained to business genera ly
commend themselves by attention to
duty, steadineSs, carefulness and ami
ability of department. These qualities
particularly fit them for the profession
of apothecarieS, and it would not be sur
prising, therefore. if the numbers of the
''pharma sisters" greatly increased. A
druggist with a pharmaceutical wife
would have lots of time to look after
baseball and other manly sports.-Balti-

REAL PATHos ON THE STAGE.
Marie Prescott Plays . Parthenia" With
an Aching Heart, and Gives Way to

PHILADELPHIA, April "A startling
incident occurred at the Arch Street
Theatre during Marie Prescott's per-
formance of ''Ingomar" on Monday
night, which illustrates in a forcible
manner the pathetic side of stage
life. While Miss Prescott was in
her dressing room preparing for the
next act a blue. coated messenger boy
tapped at the door and moment later
handed in a telegram.
1t was only line, but it caused the
actress to grow pale and almost fall TO
the floor. 1t was from her home, and
simply announced the death of her son,
:. Young man of 16, who had been the
idol of her heart Before she had re-
covered from the shock the call boy
came to announce the act. Bya power
ful effort she reused herself, and with
heroism that would have done credit
to a Spartan mother, went on the stage
TO continue the entertainment for the
benefit of the waiting audience.
The most dramatic part of the event.
however, was vet to come. Just as the
actress. in her part of Parthenia, says to
lnsomar: II Will never sec thee more.
she fell senSeles,S and PROSTATE at his
feet. 1t was some moments before the
audience realized the situation. Some
thought it was in the play, but they
were soon undeceived. Several sym
pathetic spectators, grasping the state
OF things, cried out: Lower the cur
t.ins,," This was done and reStorativeS
were applied to the actress.
In less than ten minutes the play wa
resumed, the star sustaining her Difficult
part-rendered still mere difficult unde'
the circumStances-with heroism tina
called forth unstinted praise. After th'
performance she was removed to he
hotel in a coupe.
The whole affair had about it a dra
matte flavor that made it OF intense in
terest, and evoked the hearty synpath.
of the large audience. The majority o
the spectators were under the impres
sion that Miss Prescott was i'll, and lef
. the house without learning the rea
cause of the agitation on the stage
Nervous prostration was feared. but he
manager, John Whitley, stated at lat
hour that she was resting as comfortabl
as could be expected.

CO... Fred. Grants Linguistic Powers.

y physician of this city, who was at
West Point in 1867 when Col. Fred.
Grant, who has been named By Presi
dent Harrison for Minister to Austria
Hungary, was passing an examination
for promotion, tells story of the young
mans linguistic abilities which ought
not to be told at the court of Vienna.
Major Mcmillan, the instructor in
French, gave Grant French passage to
translate at sight, the passage being Ell
titled Leopold Due d Autriche." The
young man was to begin 1t and give an
easy translation to the end of the pas
sage. He read the French with fair
accent, and then began the English. He
halted over the title but an instant, and
then read off Leopold, the duck and
the ostrich. The anecdote IS one of
the traditions OF West Point to this day.

renzo Seavy, a wealthy ranchman and
fruit raiser of California, and Miss Mir
lam Owen, a young English girl, who has
been working in the potterieS Of East
Liverpool, Ohio, were married last night.
4 few months ago she answered news
paper advertisement for a wife. The
exchange of letters and photographs,
and an offer of marriage followed in
rapid succession. The young lady re-
fused to marry the man until she had
seen him, and to prove his love be came
from California to claim her.
During the past month ne has been in
East Liverpool courting Miss Owen, and
in the meantime the lady's friends have
looked up Mr. Seavy's record. They
found him to be as he represented him
self, but still opposed the match. The
young lady, however, was willing and
to-day the happy couple started for their
home on the Pacific coast. The bride
was happy in the anticipation of presid

husband has promised to build for her.
