Bis1narck and the. Rrnpress.

The following excerpt from letter
n Labouchereso TTaLth helps to reveal
the inwardness of the hard feelings of
ex-Empress Frederick against Bis
marck.
Everybody who, is acquainted with
the domestic history of the court of
Berlin during the short reign of the
Emperor Frederick has painful stories
to relate about the relations which ex-
listed between him and the then Chan
cellor, who, moreover, treated the
Empress very harshly and rudeIy, to
say the least of it. When the Empress
arrived at Charlottenburg from San;
Reno, directly after his fathers death,
he was not allowed to speak, and he
informed Prince Bismarck in writing
that the Empress would, therefore,
speak for him In his interviews with
ministers. The first time, however,
that Prince Bismarck came to the pal
ace on business he refused to communi-
cate with the Empress about state
affairs and threatened to resign. If she
were present OF his interviews with the
Emperor. Presently, however, the
Empress arranged to see Prince Bis
marek IN private, and represented to
him that the Emperor required her aid
TO get through his BUSINESS whereup-
on the Chancellor is said to have re-
piled that if repose was necessary for.
bis Majesty he could obtain it by abdi-
eating, but that the affairs of the state.
must be transacted efficiently, regard
less of his state of health.

King George ana the Piano.

The King of Greece was fearfulIy
bored, when at AK, by the sets made
at him by professional beauties who
had not the talent to conceal their art,
One of them hired the fiat near his lodg-
ing, and piano. Her musical edu-
cation was neglected. But she new
how to play the Greek hymn. When
ever his Majesty returned from the
baths she struck it up.
If there is an air the King hates more
than another it is that one. He has
had to listen to it many times every day
at Athens for twenty-seven years.
Whenever he goes to casino, concert,
or opera, the orchestra gives him sew
eral bars. In short, it is,to him so fear
fully hackneyed that it, CRATES on his
nerves if, when it is being played, he
cannot think of something else, and
thus shut it out from his ears. But the
professional beauty stumbled, and so
got involved in false notes that he could
not be deaf to her performance. He
lost his temper over and over again, and
sent message after message to the land
lord to beg that he would silence her
pianoforte. This the landlord feared
to do, as the lady spent money far more
freely than the potentate, and drew to
the hotel rich fools, who. paid for Door
champagne as though it were Widow
Cliquot's best.
The affair wasarranged by Greek
from Ma1seilles. making the acquain-
tance of the lady, and confiding to her
some of his Majesty's defects. One Of
them was born hatred of music,
which he thought noise; and the other
taste for frumpish German women,
who never painted, kept quiet, and had
not soul above knitting and darning
stockings. The beauty changed her
tactics accordingly. His, Majesty was
no longer bored by the Gneek air, and
I should not wonder if he sent an Order
to the diplomatic person who induced
his fair neighbor to shut UP her piano.

20, Dorotheal o, GodI" he cried,
~what shall do? o, Dorothea, DorO-
thea, what have You dOne?"
While Egtert was still bending over
the dead babe, o neighbor knocked at
the door. He hesitated for a moment
and then opened it The visitor was
woman who lived next TO them and who
had come at break of day to tell them OF
the minister's misfortune and to offer
her service to DOrothea. But no sooner
had she looked in at the open door and
seen the dead babe on the pillows than
she turned and ran toward the village,
crying, @Murderi Murder!"
The sun was now shining bright and
clear about the cabin The storm was
over, and new. day had arisen upon
Sagnauck.
The woman ran the whole length OF
the village street, and her cry was heard
In every home. At the sound, men and
women fastened from their brief sleep
and ran toward Hillary's cabin, to which
she pointed them. 1t needed no words
for them to believe that there was some
sad mystery there. On they went, down
the woodland path, one by one, without
ceremony and entered the room. Within
half an hour it was filed with friends
and foes.
Prominent among the latter was the
minister, who anxiously moved about and
tried, with his authority, to Quell the ex-
element. By his side was the constable
and after it was evident to ali that a
murder had been committed, the two
busted themselves opening drawers, pry-
ing into hooks and corners, lifting loose
planks from the floor and making in
quiries Of others. It was a godsend to
the minister. Heaven, in his belief, had
sent relief.
During all this tumult Dorothea sat
upon the bed looking wildly about.
Through the cabin door, now wide open,
in the morning light, she could see 9TH
ers coming, men, women and children,
walking, shouting, pointing toward the
open door. Rude men gathered about
her bed and asked harsh questions,
while half-dressed women excitedly cried
over the little body which, a day before,
they had said looked like a cat. At
length the minister drew near the bed
and said:
az tell you the day of vengeance has
come. The prosecutor of my children
has been pointed out to you. have &C
cused Dorothea Ingram Of Witchcraft,
and to this sin another has been added.
She has murdered her babe. Last night
my house was struck by lightning, and
believe it was at the same hour IN which
this crime was committed"
The wsnderer in the forest, who, IN
observed, had entered the cabin, spoke
up and said:
"Reverend sir, it was at the same
hour"

CHAPTER XIV.
rHE TRIAL OF A WITCH


The little body of the murdered babe
was buried in hollow near Dorothea's
home, and within three days the unhap-
py woman was taken to Salem by armed
guard, there to answer the double charge
of murder and witchcraft. For the crime
which she had committed was so terrible
that not one person in Sagnauck, save
her husband and her adopted parents,
now entertained doubt Of her guilt.
When the little party arrived in Salem
Dorothea was at once consigned to Jail,
and when once there, her condition be-
came so precarious that it was feared
she would never leave it even to answer
to the double charge against her.
Mr.. Granville, unmindful of the fact
that she might be summoned to higher
bar of justice, devoted his time to a care
full arrangement = his evidence against
her.
The witch f6 just then at it's
height in New Ad, and the news
tried in Salem no, ID through the
country and multitn locked to the
city.
Besides Egbert and DR.. Lennox, there
was a third friend who visited the jail
daily. 1t was an old man dressed as an
Indian and so thoroughly disguised that
no one would have suspected that he
was white. True he never gained adj
mittance, but he was always observed
lettering around the prison door when
ever either Egbert or the Doctor were
visiting the prisoner.
The day set for the trial at length ar
rived, and Dorothea, still far from well,
was led before the magistrate. A formal
charge of witchcraft and of murder wei q
read, and, by the advice of counsel, to
both she pleaded not guilty. These pre-
liminaries being over, the evidence Of
her league with the devil was begun.
The Rev. Henry Granville was the
first witness and infinitely he traced the
history of Dorothea and her father, and
of the strange aff1iction of his daughter,
Achsah. Other members Of the settle
ment were sworn also and bore witness
to many strange actions Of the accused,
but the chief evidence against her was
divided into two heads-her persecution
Achsah and her mysterious visitor who
had provided for her at her marriage
and during her illness. Both facts were
supposed to be clearly proven by the
testimony.
But when the defense began and DR.
Lennox was put upon the stand, even
Mr.. Granville was able to see thai
the first part of his testimony would
fall to the ground. The Doctor stated
| that he had made a careful study OF
Achsah's trouble and that he was conf
dent that she was suffering from nerv'
Gus disease, not often met with in the
new world, but which was not uncom
mon in the old. He pointed out that hel
most violent attacks had always occurred
during thunderstorm, and drew the
deduction that her physical nature was
unusually sensitive to the electric cur
rents. To this he added his belief thai
an inherited antipathy to Hillary had
been fostered and exaggerated until his
presence really did have an evil effect
upon the child, but that this effect was
due to anything which Hillary did, hC
stoutly denied.

Some pretty anecdotes are told of their

however, the husband gave the wife
one of those quiet rebuffs into which
enters a sense of humor, and which are
on that account less hard to Der. It
appears that Humbert once asked one
of the Queens secretaries what would
be an acceptable Christmas present for
her Majesty. This gentleman, truer
friend than courtier, had the courage
to suggest to the King that the Queen
had large number of unpaid MILL
ners and dressmakers' bills. The
King took the hint, and begged that
they should all be given to, him. On
Christmas morning Humbert placed
all these bills, receipted, under the
Queens table-napkin. There was no
other present. It is said that she took
the hint, and has been less extravaganza

The Ex-PrSssdent OF an African Republic
Visit to the United states.
Ex-Vice President Joubert, of the
Transyaal republic IN South Africa, is
visiting the United States, and was in
Chicago recently. As his name indi-
Gates, he is of French descent. The
Transvaal. like the Orange Free State,
is peopled by Beers, who are the de-
scendants of Dutch coIonists, mixed
largely with families of, Huguenot
blood, who originally settled at the
Cape of Good Hope. During the last
war with England, which eliminated
Colley, nephew of Lord WoIse1ey, at
Majuba Hill. and the concession of the
Transvaal claims, Joubert was COM
mander of the Boer forces in the Il eld

and was one of the leading spirits in
the resistance to England.
General Joubert's life has been a re-
markable one. He was born in the
British Cape Colony. While child
he was taken by his parents north on
"trekkng" expedition. From poor
boy he became Chairman of Congress,
Speaker of Parliament, Secretary of
Native Affairs, Vice President and
Commander General, a position he
now holds. He is the richest man in
the Transvaal, being large land
owner and planter.
General Joubert has been elected
president of a commission to arrange
for Transvaal display at the Worlds
Fair. According to General Joubert
America is carrying everything before
it in the Transvaa1, American manufac-
lures being given the preference over
those of Europe.
