The Emperor TO Go Hunting.

ror will spend few weeks of the fall or
winter hunting season at the recently acquired
Lorraine possession. The old proprietor has
ordered an auction of all furniture and SO forth
belonging to Castle Neville at an early date. and
after that number of Strasbourg and Metz
decorators will proceed to the chateau and sub
nit plans and estimates of renovations to the
Grand Master OF Ceremonies.

Wissmnnn a Physical Wreck.
A BERLIN gentleman who met Major Won
Wissmann in Africa, tells me in the strict
est confidence that he has little hope of the
Majors entire recovery. The Major is very
1ond OF the Joys of the table, especially when
decorated with plenty of champagne bottles,
and the change of hemisphere has not made
any dlHerence in his way of living. The con-
sequences OF such recklessness in the burning
climate of Africa are known to every physician;
they have already appeared In the Majors
present sickness. Beside being a physical
wreck he is in highly excitable mental con-
@ altion; which delays his recovery, if such be
possible. He cannot stand criticism and the
siightest disparaging remark about his various
adventures made by the press or public is liable
TO throw him into passion.
While Prince Bismarck himself and the press
are apparently only too willing to fan the fires
OF discord between the ex-Chaneellor and his
imperial master, Kaiser Wilhelm has only re-
gret and kindness of feeling for his grand
zollern he lately addressed an order to the Ber-
lin authorities giving the Cross of Honor to all
police officials who were formerly in the serv-
Ice of the Prince. The fact Is generally COM
mented upon as a particularly gracious act, in
the face of the many dsresDeetful remarks
lately accredited to Bismarck about the Kaiser.
How Jewellers Protect Themselves.
THE jewelers. of this city have a peculiar
fashion of saving themselves from thefts
by employees when closing the shops for the
night. At or 10 o'clock, as the case may be-
every employe in the store Is required to take
off his coat and don a long brown Holland
smock, fastened tightly at the wrists, having
an elastic band running round near the feet
They then commence to clear the show win
dows and cases, placing the glirtering articles
into the safes. the master or mistress of the
shop experimenting the proceedings. In this
way it becomes impossible for empoye TO
secrete anything on his person, and as they are
REQUIRED TO call out the number of the articles
handled. they find little. if any, opportunity to
use their mouths or stomachs as hiding places
for their masters property.
Six young couples were married in the Pots
the Royal pastor, Dr. Rogge. The grooms were
all dressed alike in black suits. the brides
ing white tulle, with myrtle blossoms. After
the ceremony they marched into the vestry,
and each received $50 marks in cash and
Bible. bound in sumptuous manner, with the
portrait of Queen Louise on the cover. These
six couples had been found worthy of the
Queen Louise Inheritance, distributed yearly
age. They came hither from all parts
of Prussia.
Calling for Funds.
a NUMBER of Berlin Church people are about
to issue circular calling for the erection
Of a German Protestant Church in Rome. En-
glish, American, Scotch and italian Protestants
have chapels in the Eternal City and it is ar
gued that the German colony on the Tiber Is
also strong enough to call for prayer house of
its own. At the present time the private chapel
of the German Embassy is used by the Prot
estant Germans, but this is at times entirely
too small to accommodate the worshipers.
Last Easter, for instance, 200 Germans received
in the Embassy Chapel. and the
crowd was 80 great that the Ambassador and
his family were literally crowded out of their
own domain,
At the Kaiserhof table d'h0te 1 met Mr..
Coleman, first secretary to Minister Phelps,
the other night, with his charming young
American bride. Both looked in excellent
health, and Coleman told me that he never felt
better in his life. One could hardly expect it
to be otherwise. The young lady who has Sc
lected Mr.. Coleman for her lord is indeed
charming woman, though quite different from
the accepted style of Southern beauties. She
is blonde and 1.-THE, and very quiet in manner
and dress. am sure she will be an immediate
fayorite in Berlin's aristocratic circles
