SORROW IN GERMANY.

 CumbS to Influenza.
SCENES ABOUT THE PALACE.
A Renewal of the Veneration Paid to the . Late Emperor William.

Hcr Nearest Relatives Were Knceling by
 Her Bedside When Death Came Cele- bratton of Emperor Williams Birthday
 Abandoned sketch of the Woman
 Styled 'Empress of issauty.'
 LONDON, Jan. S.-The death of the Dowager Empress Augusta, though from tho nature of her illness and con sidering her advanced age, not unex- pected. has caused profound feeling of sorrow in Berlin. The attack of in- fluenza with which she was seized with the utmost virulence of the malady, gave early indications of developing into pneumonia and culminated in that disease despite the strenuous efforts of her physicians to avert it.
 Scenes About the Palace.
 The scenes in the streets after the announcement of her death wildly re- called those following the demise of her husband, the late Emperor William l., and the reverential demeanor of the crowds which throng the vicinity of the palace strongly suggests renewal of the veneration in which tho old monarch's memory is held by all Cor mans rather than Q tribute to the ono just dead, irrespective of her associa- tion wiGh him.
 In consequence of the death of the Dowager Empress all of the prepara- tions which were already making for a brilliant celebration of the birthday of Emperor William 1 on January !1 have been abandoned, and the occasion will be allowed to pass without special recognition.
 Announcing tho Death.
 The lowering of the Imperial Stand. ard at the palace announced the death of the Dowager Empress to the public. Her nearest relatives were kneeling at her bedside and Chaplain koegel was praying when death came. There was no struggle. The body rests on an open couch, shrouded in white and presents picture of absolute peace. The Dowagor Empress. The Nowager Empress was the widow of i>aisor William l., and was born in Weimar Septem Der 30, 1Sl1, being tn c daugh ter of Grand Duke Charles Fred erick, of Saxe- w eimar.
 She was married to the then Prince William. of Prussia, June II, 1920, who was fourteen years her senior.
 Two children of this union were Frederick William, born in 1881, who married the Princess Royal of Eng land, and Princess Louise Marie Eliza beth, who became the wife of Freder- ick William Louis, Grand Duke of Baden.
 The Empress possessed rare musical gifts and was much devoted to charit- able work.
 She aged rapidly during the last few years of her life, and suffered much, paralysis of the jaw being ono of her attlictions.
 In her youth, however. and in tht first years of her womanhood, Augusta was superbly handsome, being fre- quently alluded to as an Empress ot Boauty.

 WELL DEVELOPED CHILDREN.
 Dr w. G. Anderson, of the Brooklyn Normal college for physical training has published book called guide to systematic instruction in physical train ing. If the reports made by some teach CTS on the physical development of their pupils recently, can be judged from, there is need of such book. In a room of fifty pupils, not more than five are free from physical defects, on the aver age many have one shoulder higher thar the other, from habit of standing or one foot. Many have one side devel oped better than the other and these will be crooked. Round shoulders dropping head and flat c,:est are among the most common deformities. It IS not uncommon to find the hips thrown toe far forward. and the legs and arms shap ed like spindles or pipe stems; there arc also many bow legs. An occasional boy is found who is q specimen of perfect phy sicial development, but a girl almost never. The finest types of children phy sically to be found are those of foreigr birth. The lest formed and healthest are the Germans and Bohemians, tn, next best the Irish. The puniest and scrawniest are our own American

IN AFFAIR CONDITION.
THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON THE
rEBT OF THE PACIFIC LINES.

A Report Embodylng Blll for the Set
tIement OF Their Obligations to the Fed
eraI Government what the Commit
tee Has Learned About the Finances oi
the Union and Central Pacific Compa-
nios.
Washington dispatch: The Senate
special committee on Pacific railroads,
after many hearings, thorough investi-
CATION, and careful consideration, has
finally accepted the report of Senator
Frye on the Union Pacific and that of
Senator Davis on the Central Pacific, and
has agreed on bill providing for re-
funding OF their debts.
The report on the Union Pacific
reaches the conclusions that there is no
evidence of any purpose on the part OF
tho company to surrendar that portion
Of its road over which the government
has a statutory lien; on the contrary
there is every reason tending TO satisfy
any candid person that no such purpose
exists, that this is capable, well man
aged road, abufidahtly able to pay its
debts, requiring only, like any other
railroad, time iii which To- pay; that the
interests OF the government and OF the
railway company will be promoted by a
settlement, and that one. can be made
now under which every dollar of the
government debt with interest will be
paid.
The report on the Central Pacific finds
that the United States has for security
a statutory lien on road commencing at
a point five miles west of Ogden and eX-
tending to San Jose, without terminal
facilities at either end, made subject to
a mOrtRaRe To Secure bonds equal in
amount tc the original Indebtedness of
the United States. That the present
security OF the United States Upon this
property Is entirely ihadeqhate; that a
foreclosure Of the first mortgage would
substantially exhaust, In satitfactidn
thereof, the entire property; that it
would be inexpedient for the United
States To redeem IL from said first iiort-
gage or to become the owner of the
property through redemption and fore
closure.
The report finds that It is expedient,
necessary, and practicable to adjust and
further secure the indebtness to the
United States upon the extended time at
a reduced rate of interest within the
ability Of the company to pay, upon
such terms as to advance the develop
ment of the country through which the
roads pass and afford the inhabitants
thereof reasonable rates Of Transportation
for passengers and freight.
From the report 1t appears that the
Central Pacific has not an ability to pay
at all equal to that of the Union Pacific,
but under the terms of the bill to be re-
ported can make final and full payment
reasonably certain.

possible through the hard pioneer
