MomberS or High European Families
Working at Humble Occupations.
The number OF bogus noblemen who
have traded on the credulity of the
wealthy American, says the London
Court journal, is absolutely Incredible.
Many American girls of education, fort
une and social prominence have con-
tracted hasty marriages with pseudo
noblemen, only to discover within few
months after their wedding that they
had allied themselves with men of a
birth even more piebeian than their
own. Nobody ever seems to think it
worth while to make businesslike in
quiry.
Still there. are quite number of men
OF high birth and social standing in the
Old World who, having gone ''crop-
per-" have gono to America for the pur-
pose of retrieving their shattered fort
unes. Tho head waiter at tho Grand
Pacific Hotel in Chicago, is the Baron
Won i, who, in Berlin some eight
years ago, was q dashing Lieutenant of
the Ziethen Hussars, the present Ger
man Emperor's favorite regiment. A
Count Won B, formerly an equerry to
one of the German royal Princes and son
of an ex-German ambassador, was
short time ago acting as commercial
traveller for a particular brand of whisky;
q Count Won d, a member of ono of
the most powerf III families in Germany,
has been earning one dollar day as
driver of tramway car; while Count
of Funfkirchen is employed as money
taker at a low-class variety show.

ployed in the mailing department of q

A DOG WORTH HAVING.

He Arranges Flock OF Sheep In Line to
Let q Wagon Pass.
People living uptown in the neigh
borhood of Sixth and Oxford streets,
Philadelphia, often see droves of sheep
driven through the streets. One man
with his droves has for an assistant only
shepherd dog, who Is expert in his
way. The man is fond of stopping at
saloons and tells the dog, by q wave of
his hand, to mind the sheep while he is
absent. -
Recently a gentleman living near the
saloon timed the shepherd; he was in
the house thirty-five minutes. The dog
lnarshalled the sheep close together
right at the corner, near where his mas.
ter entered door, and then lay down to
rest, but was.on the alert for any move.
ment among the sheep. Ho kept them
packed closely together, and Il one
moved out of the line he rose and with
a few barks soon had the sheep back in
place. He would run around the flock
to see If all was right and then lay down
again, only, to repeat the watch when
another moved. He had them in such
group that they filled the street from
curb to curb, but he would not allow
them to get on the pavement.
At last wagon came along; the
driver wanted to turn up the street, and
not being able to go through the group
of sheep stopped. Tho dog saw the di-
lemma, stepped out and soon had the
sheep arranged in file on one side of the
street, leaving plenty of room for the
horses and wagon to pass. Nobody told
the dog what--he know. After it was
all done his master came out of the So
loon and gave the dog pat on the head
and piece of pretzel by way OF reward.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Davis offered
resolution calling on the secretary of war
for information on the subject of the acct
dent last Friday to the lock of the Sault
ST. Marie canal. He spoke of it as a most
serious calamity to the commerce of the
nation, costing, )" as he had been informed,
"S5000 day." He also mentioned, in
cidentally, the failure of the House to act
on the bill passed by the Senate some
months ago, providing for second and
larger lock.
Cullom hoped the House would be in
duced to take up that measure and pass it.
1t would be well enough for the Senate to
take up the river and harbor bill at an
earlier day than had been agreed upon. so
as to have an appropriation secured for
that very important work.
Cockrell inquired whether 'the business

Odd Fellows and Patriarch Militants.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The Odd Fellows and
Patriarch Militants hold possession of
Chicago. Every section of the United
States is represented. Lieutenant-G General
Underwood, grand sere of the order and
commander of the military branch of the
Patriarch Militant, sent out from here half
a million letters and circulars relative to
the cantonment, and in many other ways
called attention to the great event. The
contests in the civil branch of the order be-
gan early today and will continue
throughout the week Most of these will
be held in the battery armory. The merit
contests in the work of the Rebekah de-
gree OF the womans' department were gal
lantly given precedence and began this
morning. The proceedings were opened
by "Queen of the Lakes Rebekah degree

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug 3.-The danger of
serious trouble in the east of Europe
seems to be somewhat increased by recent
occurrences in Constantinople, and the
action OF England in persuading the Sultan
to grant rights to investiture to Bulgarian
bishops in Macedonia. The Gar is aston
ished and greatly excited over the Porte's
defiance of the ST. Petersburg government
and its utter disregard of the Russian pro-
test against this course. Advices which
were received here from M. Nelidoff, Rus
sian ambassador at Constantinople, led the
Car to believe that the Sultan would sub
NIT to his admonitions. The Gar, how
ever, visits all the blame of the Sultan's
cavalier treatment of himself upon mis-
diplomatic representative.
M Nelidoff left STEAMBOAT for Sebasta
pol last night. He goes away ostensibly on
holiday, but it is. well understood here
that he is really under ban OF the Car, who
has lost all confidence in him. The Car
has openly in court circles complained of
what Re calls Nelidoff's deception, and he
added with every show of rage and dis
trust, Il cannot rely upon single one of
my diplomats. They all lie. oThey always
promise, but never fulfil their promises"
The absence of the Russian envoy from
STEAMBOAT this time, implies there will be
considerable delay in the action of Russia
in this peculiar crisis and that no immedi-
ate compliances are looked for

Between the United States and Guatemala
in Critical Condition.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch.l
New York, Aug. 4.-General Rivas, in.
stead of being captured at the capital, was
taken prisoner in Aculvuaca, a suburban.
town, and brought to the capital where.
with many other leaders of the Indians, he
was shot. With the death of their leader
the Indian prisoners of war all join Gen.
eral Ezeta's forces and march against the
Guatemalans. This is assured by Pan.
He says that Rivas was idolized by the In
dians, but with his death they will look
upon his conqueror as their leader and con.
sequently Anton Ezeta will take them to
the seat of war in Guatemala and incorpor-
ate them into regiments with the Saliva
doran army. They will be detailed to make
night attacks on points of advantage held
by Guatemala. These attacks will be made
with their ugly knives, and their charges
will probably be successful, as
they will be forced to make them
at the point of the bayonet,
and will be allowed no firearms.
AS Ezeta was aware of the methods en-
ployed in warfare by the Indians he was
able to defeat them 3. Molina Guirla re-
ports everything quiet on the frontier, but
says that active operationa are in progress
to reinforce the army of occupation. 1t is
believed by Pan that Amino Ezeta, with
an army of 1000 men and his Indian pris.
oners should have arrived on the Guate-
malan frontier tonight.
On good authority it is stated that the
affairs between the United States and
Guatemala are in very critical condition,
owing to the seizure of war arms aboard
the Colima and the tampering with the
official correspondence of the United States
by the Guatemalan government.

Prince Bismarck and His Newspaper.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable.l
BERLIN, Aug. 4.-Prince BiSmarck's
organ, the Hamburger Mach
richtel, asserts that General Count Won
Waldersee and other eminent and we'll
known persons in the encourage of Kaiser
Wilhelm are strongly urging upon the
Kaiser their belief that both the time
and situation of European affairs are now
opportunate for the contamination of a
combined attack by the powers of the triple
alliance and Turkey and. Bulgaria upon
Russia. Count Won Waldersee has instantly
wired to the newspapers fiat denial of the
assertions of the Ndchrichten. But the lat
ter maintains the truth of it's statement
and declares that such scheme of co-opera-
ton is really advised by the Waldersee
circle.
Prince Bismarck, who is understood to
have inspired the statements of the Mach
richsen, would not be prompted to divulge
such information as this if he possessed it.
not only by his general idea that friendship
with Russia is the best policy for Germany
but by his hatred of Waldersee and his set
This much at least Is certain, that Kaiser
Wilhelm will adhere to this policy pending
his coming interview with the Gar, what
ever course he may choose to take after
| that, so that there is no immediate danger
| of Warlike demonstration.

Murderous Indians Captured.

MIssoULA, Mont, Aug. Especial tele
gram to THE HERALD. Sheriff Houston
returned to-day bring the three Indians,
Pascale, Antos and Williams, who muir
dered a white man at Angel Hill some time
since and left his body to be devoured by
the wolves. The remains OF the murdered
man were found shortly after and the
crime traced to the Indians just brought in.
When the officers sought to arrest the
murderers, Chief Enos refused TO give
them up. Sheriff Houston determined to
have them, and with deputy United States
Marshal Grant formed party of sixty men
ut Demersyille. This psrty made a night
march from the place and surprised Chief
Enos in his camp in upper Flathead- When
Enos saw he had determined party Of men
10 deal with and must give mp the men or
fight, he gave way and ordered Pascal to
be brought in. The other two were found
some distance from the camp by Depu-
ties Grant and Ramsdale, and were
brought in with their principal.
On the return trip the party
captured Chief Marshal, of the Pond
grizzlies. and held him as hostage for the
delivery of Pierre, Paul and Laloze, who
are also wanted for murder. There are
two of the numbering party still at large,
and Sheriff Houston is organizing another
party tonight TO go in seach of them. The
Indians are thoroughly cowed and it is
thought no trouble will be experienced in
securing the men wanted.
