A Woman Whose Entire Life Was Marked
With Beneyolence,

With Benevolence.
BERLIN, January 7th.-The Dowager Empress
Augusta died this morning at 4:30. Her death
was caused by influenza, from which she had
been suffering most acutely. Last night she
had relapse, and at y O'Clock her condition
was considered critical. At 2 o'clock the En-
peror aud Empress and their two eldest sons
the Crown Prince William and Prince Freder-
ick-and the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess
OF Baden, the son-in-law and daughter respect
lively OF the Dowager Empress, were at her bed
side. Count Won Moltke left her palace at
noon; He was much affected at her alarming
condition. large crowd assembled in Inter
den Linden before the palace, and much sym
pathy was shown for the Empress
The death OF the ex-Empress Augusta was an
nounced to the people by the lowering of the
imperial standard from its place over the palace.
The Empress passed away peacefully, sur
rounded by nearly ali her near relatives. AS the

the Court Chaplain offered prayer and then
blessed the remains of Emperor William and
the Empress, and soon after left the chamber.
At an early hour in the morning the doctors
perceived there was no hope of saving the En-
press life. She had suffered from influenza for
three days, and bore the malady so well that
Monday night her recovery was looked upon as
certain, but III the course of the night pneumo-
MIA developed, and presented crisis too great
for her remaining strength.
The ReichsGnziger says the Emperor and the
whole imperial family are in the deepest afilic-
ton at the sad event.

An Impending Crisis.

LONDON, January 7th.-Great solicitude is re-
ported at Madrid touching the exciting rumors
in connection with the illness OF the King and
the political complications likely to ensue in
the event OF his death. The best information
obtainable to-day was tina the royal patient has
suffered turn for the worse.
Something more than suspicion exists that the
recent Cabinet crisis had hidden significance
and the movements of the Republican leaders
are being narrowly watched. In a word, the
question now agitating Madrid, is Spain really
preparing for a coup de Brazil?

 A busy Chicago housewife had just i dusted the furniture and was about to wash the windows, when there came a violent ring at the door bell A faded looking woman, carrying a green para sol and bag that puckered like to- bacco sack, walked in when the door was opened, and, refusing to give her name, entered the parlor.
 'Would you object to giving me your name?" said the housewife, when the strange woman had seated herself

USING TROUT FOR BAIT.
It Was the Only Thing the Muskallonge
 Wanted, and They Got It.

It Was the Only Thing the Muskallongt Wanted, and They Got It.
 There are several small lakes on the head waters of the Monistique river in Michigan, where there are enormous pickerel and muskallonge. Brook trout are abundant in the streams running into them. Fishermen have always la. mented the failure of all their efforts to capture muskallonge in these lakes with any of the known live baits or lures, but party of anglers who were bait fishing near one of the lakes this season discovered that the muskallonge would not accept any of the ordinary bait simply because they were highly epicurean in their tastes. One of the party of fishermen referred to, after ex- hausting all his skill in trying to capt. ure muskallonge, went to the mouth of one of the streams that empty into the lake and made few casts for trout. He hooked a small one and was reeling it in when there came a sudden swoop and splash in the water and down went the trout and the fsherman's leader in the whirlpool that marked the spot where the trout had been.
 The angler knew that a muskallonge had swept the trout and leader away, and he kept alive the nextsix-inch trout he caught, hooked it to his muskallonge hook and tossed it into the lake where he thought muskallonge would be apt to lie. The trout had scarcely sunk beneath the surface when it was raven ously seized, and the fisherman had the satisfaction of landing a f1fteen-pound muskallonge. By using small trout for bait in that way twelve large muskal- longe were killed in short time by the party. At the same time every other kind of bait was used at the same spot without one muskallonge noticing it. At any time during the party's stay there muskallonge could be caught with trout as bait, but at no time with any thing else. The big fish were connois- Seurs. The stream furnished them with the most delicate of food, and they re- fused eny morsel less choice. Trading of trout for muskallonge seemed like decidedly unsportsmanlike thing to do, but the knowledge obtained was worth the sacrifice.
 Another lake in that vicinity has no- where more than a four-foot depth of water, and it has bottom so soft that pole twenty feet long will not fathom it's depth. This lake is literally full of big pickerel. They bite at almost any thing, but the moment they are hooked they dive into the soft bottom and go down so deep that sometimes they have to be pried out with poles. It Is no un- common thing to mine them out from depth of four feet The lake bottom is not mud or mire. but pulpy mass re- sembling tapioca pudding IN. Y. Sun.
