PRINCE BISMARCK AT HOME.

The Ex.Chnncellor Talks of His Illness to
French Correspondent.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I.
NEW YORK, June 3-Prince Bismarck gave
q remarkably interesting budget of information
concerning his public and domestic affairs re-
Gently to Henry de Hour, the famous Partisan
journalist. A translation of the talk has been
made from foreign papers just received in this
vicinity. De Hour presented himself in Erie
drichsruhe without any letters oil Introduction
or recommendation. In b personal note to the
ex-Chancellor he requested the privilege OF an
interview. He received the following answers:
THE Prince invites NJ. de Hour to dinner.
Afternoon dress" De Hour arrived at the
Manor House shortly before dinner time. Bis
marck received him with exceptional fr1endl1-
ness, and till the meal was served entertained
him with all sorts of small talk.
II suffer terribly" said the Chancellor, from
neuralgia and sleep very little. Formerly my
work drove away the pain but now that work
SO little l suffer extremely. Queen Victoria
has recommended to me a dozen or more reme-
dies but they have done me.just as little good
as they seem to have done her,"
The Prince also explained why he had re-
quested de Hour to appear In evening dress
For the last 20 years" he said, u have not
had on evening dress At the time of my sill
yer wedding my wife had superb evening suit
made for me- but have never worn it"
At dinner the best French wines were set be-
fore NJ. de Hour. Bismarck, however, drank
only Rhine wine. While eating the ex-Chan-
cellor became rather taciturn, and was reused
to speak only with some difficulty on the part
of NJ. de Hour. The mention Of the Princes
from public life, however, seemed
eventually to touch the spring. and he referred
with considerable feeling to the fact that dur
ing the three days succeeding his retirement
he received 900 kilograms from all parts of the
world. Although 20 years old he said he con-
sidered himself too young to remain idle,

TAKING CARE OF THE LITTLE ONES.

There is no benevolent institution which
may more worthily appeal to the thoughtful
and the generous than the Cnildren's Hos
pital, which is now being organized and
made ready for Pittsburg. 1t is entirely for
the little ones whose parents have not the
means to provide rightly for them when i'll.
Coupled with the city institution, is an ad-
mirable plan for a place in the country, in
the mountains, where the little unfortunates
can be sent for a week or two in the summer
to gain in the quiet and pure atmosphere
those elements of vitality which they can
not gather in the thickly-built town.
For the adult, INDECENT and afflicted it is
a difficult and in some cases not always a
hopeful task to provide. But Pittsburg
does its duty nobIy in that regard. There
is abundant assurance that it will not fail
where the little children are concerned
those who can by no manner of means help
themselves. The Children's Hospital is
very noble benevolence and the efforts of Its
promoters deserve all praise and encour-
agement

WILL LIKELY GET THE ARSENAL.

Chief Bigelow Says He Will Have the Land
In Three Weeks.
Chief Bigelow, of the Department of Public
Works, yesterday received word from Wash
ton that the city would probably acquire pos
session of part of the Arsenal grounds within
two Or three weeks. Chief Bigelow would not
say who he received the information from, but
stated it was all right and there was not the
slightest probability of the thing missing fire.
Hon. John Dalzell stated a few days ago he
would introduce another bill into the House
which would be approved by the Secretary of
the Navy. asking for the transfer of part of the
grounds to the city. The portion wanted for
a park contains about 10 or II acres, and is on
the lower side Of Penn avenue. Major Mckee,
who is in charge of the Arsenal, is opposing the
scheme but Mr.. Bigelow thinks he ha- over
come the objections. The grounds on the up
per side of Penn avenue will not be touched,
and it is proposed to move the Majors resi-
dence to that section and he would still be in
charge of the place. If the bill goes through
and the property Is turned over to the city Mr.
Bigelow will begin at once to convert the
grounds into beautiful park.

THE FAIR CITY.

ALI my inner life is radiant
With the beauty of q cline,
With the glory OF a city,
Lying in land sublime,
Where the sun goes down in splendor,
And the twilight angel waits
Ere he spreads iswIngs of darkness,
have seen the open gates!
Often since that fadeless morning,
On a winter long ago,
When a voice loved fell fainter
Than the falling of the snow;
When my eyes were sudden-blinded,
As FORM grown still and white,
Passed through ranks Of shining angels.
Out to meet the coming night.
Oh, the perfect hopes that
In that more than midnight gloom,
Hopes Just rich with buds OF promise
Bursting into golden bloom.
Then was never light about me,
grew never strong and brave,
Till my eyes were lifted higher
Than the narrow, snow-crowned grave;
Till 1 through the open portals.
Saw the shining streets of gold,
And the lost all pure and radiant
Crowned with blessings manifold.
Hands Of love unwound the tangles,
In the train Of weary years,
That was stretching out before me,
Shadowed by my falling tears.
So 1 am no longer fearful,
Knowing where my treasures are
Waiting for the end. with patience,
Since have been blessed SO far;
Waiting for the day that cometh,
AS q bridge, on which to climb
Upward to that wondrous city,
From these barren fields of time,

PASSENGER WAR OVER.
The Union Pacific Announces Restoration
of Old Rates on June o.

The Union Pacific Announces Restoration
of Old Rates on June Q.
Thomas 8. Spear, local passenger agent of
the Union Pacific road, yesterday stated thar
the disastrous passenger war between the lines
west OF Chicago had been settled, and for west
ern points beyond the Windy City the old rates
would be restored on June 9. The rates will
not be fixed up for this territory until June Is.
Mr. Spear stated that the lines in the fight
have lost during its progress more than two
thirds OF the revenues that would have
been made if the cutting had not existed. The
Union Pacific was more fortunate than its COM
petitofs In having transcontinental line, and
they made rates through to the Pacific coast.
During the thickest of the fight the road made
no effort to secure Colorado business, but the
result was that the line had good through
trade.
Mr.. Spear says he is selling a number of
round trip tickets, but there is not much de-
mand for tickets one way During the recent
hot spell there were many inquiries for rates.
and quite a number of the inquirers have
gone West Tor a period.

the evening.

The House Committee of Elections ar
gument that registration laws and educational
tests are unconstitutional, would make de-
cided sensation if applied to the cases of
Northern members. But the most remarkable
effort of logic in this report on the South Caro-.
lima case is the conclusion that because an
election is held under unconstitutional provis.
ions therefore the man who gets the smaller
number of votes is to be declared elected The
House managers must feel an urgent necessity
for bolstering up their majority, to decide an
election contest on such logic.

TO Miss Jean X. Sample. of Allegheny.
Yesterday noon at the First Presbyterian
Church, Wood street, Mr.. j. Bennett Cochran,
of MeadvilIe. was married to Miss Jean K.
Sample. of Allegheny. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. DIR. George T. Purves, pas
tor of the church, in the presence of limited
number of guests, including only relatives and
immediate friends of both families. Miss Sam
pie, who is well and favorably known in educa-
tional and social circles, belongs to one of the
old families of Pittsburg, her great-grand-
father having been an elder in the early his
tory of the church in which she pledged the
solemn VOWS. And conspicuous among those
present at the ceremony was the venerable
form of Mr.. William Sample, Sr., her grand
father; who has reached the ninetieth mile
stone in life's journey. The groom is one of
Meadville's representative citizens, having
been until recently its chief executive officer.
He is a nephew of Mr.. James l. Bennett, of the
Northside. and has an extensive acquaintance
in both cities.
The bride was attired in handsome fawn-
colored cloth travelling robe, and. with a tiny
toque of corresponding color, presented a very
stylish appearance. Immediately after the
ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Cochran started for
an extended western trip.
