THE EXHIBITION AT TREvRs.
The Cerem onies in the Cathedral
Grand in the Extreme.


BERLIN. Aug. 20-The garment known
as the holy coat" was exposed to view this
morning in the cathedral at Treves. Two
Knights of Malta, in full costume, with
drawn swords IN their hands, stood on either
side of the shrine inclosing the "holy coatn
case, which was surrounded by tall lighted
candles on handsome candlsSticks aud sur
mounted by large gold cross There was
an impressive scene in the sanctuary, over
100 priests assisting in the ceremonies,
which we're grand in the extreme.
THE CATHEDRAL RICHLY DECORATED.
The cathedral was richly decorated for
the occasion, and was packed TO the doors
with people. Bishop Korum, during the
course of his address TO the assembled mul-
titude, earnestly urged the faithful to unite
In veneratlng tho garment from which
power and virtue proceed.
The nave of the cathedral was then
cleared so as to allow the municipal author
tiles and parochial societies to march up to
the shrine of the holy coatn and venerate
the relic.
COMMENT CAUSED BY THE ADDRESS.
Much comment has been caused by the
remarks of Bishop Korum in his opening ad-
dress, when he referred pointedly TO the
spiritual Significance OF the "holy coat" as
being a seamless vesture and the symbol of
bhe uuIty VI tno OatuOllC CuurCn. Iuore were
many Roman Catholic members of the
Reichstag present, and it is said that the
bishop particularly, and in a manner not to
be mistaken, addressed his remarks to these
members.
THE "HoLY coAT.n
The "holy coat is distinctly visible in the
body of the cathedral, and is much more
plainly seen than upon any former occasion
of its exhibition. Tho old slken covering
being almost entirely worn away, it ap~
peared to-day TO be of brownisL yellow
| color. The scene in the cathedral was
motley one. English tourists in
light tweed suits and Prussian officers
in uniform stubbcr ily retu ing to kneal
before the relic, aid burgeoise citizens
in evening dress we're prominent In the
crowd. The service, with the monotonous
Gregorian chants and administration OF the
eucharist TO representative ecclesastics,
seemed OF the character of a medieval cere-
mony. Many persons were oyerpowered by
their feelings. and several women tainted.
THE PROCESSION OF PILGRIMS
past the shrine, most of whom handed a
rosary or cruclfiK to the attendant priests
| for contact with the relic, was accompa-
MED by low hum Of paternosters ana aves
Among the pilgrims are aged cripples and
| sufferers from almost every complaint.
There were some scenes of disorder owing
| to the somewhat violent attempts made to
| gain early access to the cathedral.
| THE EAGER THRoEG.
At 10 o'clock tonight pilgrims were still
filing in to behold tho relic, and an eager
throng was besieging the doors of the cathe-
dral The police he'd some trouble to pre-
serve order. The whole town is in commo-
hon. Pickpockets are rampant, and sew.

Won MoLTKE,s HISTORY.
What the Count Has to Say of the
War of 1870.

What the Count Has to Say of tho
War of 1870.
LONDON, Aug. 21.-The Times this morn
ing publishes long extract from Count
Won Moltke's history of the war OF 1870.
Count Won Moltke left the manuscript ready
for the press, which is, therefore, published
before his other posthumous works, al
though it Is numbered volume three
The preface, signed by tho counts nephew.
explains the origin of the work, adding that
his uncle began to write it in the spring Of
1877, and worked on it three hours day at
Breisau. The count returned to Berlin in
the autumn of 1877, and finished
the work in January, 1883, after
which time he never referred to il. He In
tended 1t as a popular account, but invol-
UNFAIRLY arranged the details in accordance
with his own plan Of campaign. Thus tho
work becomes au expression Of his opinion
Of the events of the war. The book is writ
ten in Count Won Moltke's
CLEAR, TERsE AND PURE STYLE.
Thore are no foreign or Germanized
words in it, and it is certain to take
foremost rank in the classic literature of
the century. The work is further charac-
teristic OF the authors modesty, his
own name being mentioned only twice,
once as an officer of the king deputed to
treat for the surrender at Sedan, and again
as the writer Of letter informing the
governor Of Paris of the defeat at Aurelle
and the occupation of Orleans. Elsewhere he
is always simply "chief of staff"
Seekers of new things will find little to
crafty them. The writer closely follows
the general staff account. which was largely
the work Of his own hands.
IDEAS OF WAR.
In the introduction the writer remarks!
warfare is no longer question of small
professional army. Wars at the present
day involve whole nations. There is hardly
family that does not suffer. The country's
whole resources are involved and winter
offers no cessation of hostilities" He OK.
presses the hope that war, although inevita-
BILE, will, in the interest of humanity, become
more rare as it becomes the more terrible.
Proceeding, he states that it is no longer the
ambition of.monarchs that endangers peace,
but the passions and dissatisfactions OF
peoples and the strife OF parties.
Even the bourses' influence Is enough to
precipitate war to protect their interests.
1t follows that parliaments declare wa,
the responsibilities being more easily car
ried by an assembly than by an individual.
Thus weak government at the head OF our
neighboring state must be regarded as q
standing menace to peace.

KANSAS THIRD Party.


One Hundred Delegates Attend tho
Convention in Topeka.
KANSAS CITY, No, Aug. 2J.-The Starts
Topeka (Kan.l special says: Zone hundred
delegates representing the Peoples
party met this morning in Trades
Assembly hall and organized an all-
ance commercial convention. A tenn
porery organization was effected
by the election of Noah Allen Of Wichita
chairman. and Fred Bailey of Wichita sec-
retary. The work outlined is mammoth
one, providing for the ainalgamation Of
every business organization which has
grown out of the farmers uprising in the
state"
OBJECT OF THE CONTENTION.
Mr.. Allen stated that the first commercial
convention which had ever assembled in
Kansas was not intended as q political
organization. It was for the bena-
fit of democrats, republicans aud
Peoples party men alike. All alliance
leaders recognize that there have been
altogether too many business organizations
passing under the alliance name. Il is pro-
posed to investigate thoroughly all Of them
and decide which are worthy Of support.
To put it briefly. the object Of the conyen-
tioa is TO kill mid5lemen.
One Of the delegates this morning stated
that it was nigh time the farmers in interior
Kansas who had cattle to sell we're finding
way to dispose of them TO another farmer
il an adjoining county without making a
deal through Kansas City or some commits
sion company. The convention was called
and seems to be manipulated by the MuN
tual Protective Association.

special train from Austin to Monterey,
one from Galveston to Dickinson, and one

1t is fact long recognized by the sages
OF this and the other world. that a train
dispatcher never makes a successful rod
and rec! artist. Only day before yester-
day Dispatchers Buchanan, Fowble and
Frye undertook to test the soundnesS of
the above conclusion. They started
in at the Convent bend on the
river. After few nibolingS and
bites, Fowble, at the expiration of
or half an hour, caught a one inch sun
perch, not yet out of its knee pants days
He brushed the mud from his shoe tops
and left the camp in disgust. Dispatch
er Buchanan thought that the fish
grew larger farther towards the centre
of the stream, and in attempting to enter
a decayiDg boat, received an unexpected
bath. Dispatcher Fry followed little
perch all the way down to the St. Mary'S
street bridge where he yanked it ashore.
Returning to the original camping place
he found that Buchanan had also yielded
TO his feeling OF disgust, and returned to
the depot, leaving string of fish behind
him. To this Frye added his lone perch
and likewise retired. However, as the
fishermen did not return in a body, but
one at a time, they told three awfully
aWry tales of their catch, Frye being the
only man to show something to subStan-
late his tale. the fish the others caught.

May Day.

With the departure of yesterday, the
last of the oyster months disappeared
for the year. and until September the
oyster season is over.
The month of May, the month of flow
ers, begins with today, and the first day
is celebrated the world over for rejoicing
and making merry. 1t heralds the spring,
aud the farmer can now go
forth and SOW and till the
ground and prepare for the harvest in
July and August.
Working men in the great labor centres
will make today the occasion of general
demand for eight hours as a days work.
The Catholics regard the month as one
for special devotiOns and prayers to Mary,
the Blessed Virgin.
The young people regard it as an I'M
prOpitiouS month for marriages.
The weather for May is thus set forth
by the prophet Hicks:
From the I'd to 5th is a storm period to
be watched. Mercury is on April 10Th:
Vulcan, May Sd, and Mass, May 4th.
1t will be wise prudently to anticipate
dangerous storms at this time. Should
they come, indications will be manifest
and timely to all who watch for them.
Frosts will occur on nights following.
Reactionary storms fall normally about
the 9th, but with new moon on the 8th.
and Mars so near his equinox, we have
indicated the sth, 9th, and 10th as storm
days. The 18th is the center of the next
regular period. and allowing the usual
days before and after, storms are sure to
pass from west to east within the limits
Cool nights with frost will follow. Ex-
pect storms about the 21st and 22nd, The
last period for May is 25th to 10Th. This
is an eventful month.
