HIS ROYAL WHISPERS.

A curious and amusing story is
told in connection with the growth
of the German emperor's beard,
which has so reused the attention
of Europe. A photographer of
Maine, named Graves, has been
arrested for publishing a picture of
the emperor with his beard half
grown, contrary to the orders issued
that no portrait be made until per-
mission was given, presumably
when the beard had attained it's
full growth. In this picture the
emperor's effor. looks like failure,
the growth being stubby and irreg-
ular in spite of liberal applications
of pomade. This picture, of course
was in great demand, for its sale
was cut short by the interference
of the police.
Graves claims that he made the
photographs for Philadelphia
publisher and that he had no inten-
ton of permitting their sale in
Germany. He appealed to the
American consul at Mainz, who
vainly attempted his liberation.
The governor refused on his own
authority and said he must await
orders from a higher source.
The consul has renewed his
efforts and asked Minister Phelps
to bring the case before the foreign
office. In the meantime the public
are impatiently awaiting for the
issue of bearded picture, the sale
of all others having practically
ceased, to the great loss of Berlin
dealers, and it may be months
before the kaiser considers his
beard worthy of photographing.
That the emperor may be
absolved from the charge of vanity
on this score it is given out on good
authority that the beard was
adopted by the medical advice of
Prof. Esmarch of Kiel. .

three weeks the warden had been
prepared for an outbreak. When
the crisis was thought to be at hand
the leaders were quietly arrested
and lodged in solitary cells. No
arms or tools have been found ex-
cept skeleton key, but as there are
factories, machine and carpenter
shops, ETC., inside the walls of the
prison it would be easy to conceal
them quite awhile.

A DARING PLOT,

A daring plot to break from the
state prison at San Quentin, Cali.
fornia, has been frustrated. Sew.
eral CT the most desperate among
the 1900 convicts have been placed
in solitary cells, closely guarded,
while number of others are being
especially watched.
Among the seven are the three
who escaped last year and defended
themselves in fortress among the
hills until the then warden made
terms with them. Tie p'otters are
Charles Dorsey, the murderer, who
escaped in 1887 and was captured
in Chicago; Mickey Delaney, burg
lar; William Hanlon and Harry
Naming, stage robbers; Abraham
Turcott and James Sullivan, muir.
derers, and George Ross, burglar.
Delaney had tools with which he
was to break out of his cell. When
the guard passed he was to fell him
with a slingshot. With his KEYS
all the other convicts were to be
released from their cells.
Then the attack was IN ho r,odo
on the guards in the prison yard.
1t is believed that outsiders were to
be in waiting with arms and des-
perate fight would certainly have
resulted from an attempt at re-
capture.
The plot was detected by guard
overhearing certain words that
reused his suspicion. The men
were watched and gradually the
names Of leaders learned. For

SUCCUMBED AT LAST.
Thomas Wilson, the Banker, Died
Yesterday Afternoon.

Thomas Wilson, one of the most
prominent business men and bankers
of Minneapolis. died yesterday after
noon at his residence, s2S Hennepin
avenue. His death was not wholly I'M
expected. For some six weeks he has
fingered on the brink of the grave. At
times he seemed to be stronger, but i'm
provement i'll every case was merely
temporary. AT least a week ago Dr..
w. j. Murray, the attending physician,
and the immediate relatives had given
up hope. A general breaking down of
the system was what carried him OF.
he leaves wife, but no children.
Mr.. Wilson was born tifty-four years
ago in Indiana county, Pennsylvania.
Throughout his life he has been en-
gagged in banking business. He came
West when young man. One of his
first positions was that of cashier in a
bank at Sparta, Wis. He remained
there several years, and was successful.
But Minneapolis, he thought, offered
wider field. He came here in 1866. In
company with Erastus Byers he estab-
lished private banking institution.
Within lew years that grew into the
Bank of Minneapolis. At the head of
this institution Mr.. Wilson has been
ever since. 1t has become, under his
management. one of the strongest in
the city. All Of his attention was given
to the bank. He rarely specialized in
outside matters. He leaves a fortune of
not less than S2OO.000.
The funeral will occur tomorrow at
$3.50 from the residence.

STRANGE ICE CAVES.
Frigid Scenery of Beauty Below a
Pine-Clad Hill.

Toronto Mail
The ice cave at Dobschon was acct
dentally discovered in 1879 by some gem
tlemen of the neighborh0od when upon
a shooting expedition. They came upon
an opening in the midst of pine grove,
whence a current of ice-cold air pro-
ceeded. Cautiously descending. they
found themselves in glacial halls and
passages. which were afterward thor
Oughly explored. The cold radiation
from that part of the forest had been
generally known for many years, but it
was superstluously attributed to other
causes, and the neighbOrhoOd was care
fully avoided.
Climbing the hill for about half an
honr, we came TO the mouth of the cave.
4 fur coat. which had been heavy
burden in the walk, now became valu-
able precaution against the chilly air
which issued from the opening. The
guide led the way down an inclined
plank walk, carrying a torch, and the
company followed. At the depth of
about 100 feet we came into a large hall
of solid ice, brilliantly Illuminated with
electric lights. We passed on through
three such 'icy halls of cold sublimitY,"
and along numerous passages, t1oOred
and lined with pure white ice.
The floor and walls were of solid ice,
of immense thickness, while from the
roof and along the sides immense
stalactites of crystal ice were hanging
Great pinnacles of ice reared themselve
at intervals from the icy floor. Trees
columns, frozen cataractS and fantastic
forms of dazzling brIlliancy were seen
in every direction. As the light flashed
upon these white and crystal masses
they CLEANED and shown with the luster
of 10000 diamonds. BY means of paths
cut through the ice. and well arranged
flights of steps, it was possible to eX-
plore great part of this wonderful for
nation.
In some parts of the cave the con-
slant dropping of water was forming
huge icicles, and the guide said that it
often became necessary TO blast away
portions of the ice i'll order TO keep the
pathways open, so rapidly did it in
crease at certain seasons. The rock to
which the ice elings and to which it
forms is limestone, and through this the
water percolates, but the mystery of the
formation of ice in these subterranean
chambers has not yet been solved.
There is no lofty mountain above the
hill from whence glacier could de-
scend, and the ice grows apparently in
the same manner as the limestone caves
of Virginia and kentuck and Adelsburg
are created. Whatever may be the
process. the effect is brilliant and en-
chanting, and we were 10th to return
10 the upper air, which seemed, by con-
trast, like that Of heated furnace.

this committee shall have reported.
The committee on railroads agreed to
recommend that the council grant the

quite a sensation in the kitchen of the
hotel while dinner was being served
Monday. Frank, it appears. has been a

evening, without any warning. he at

knife. and when she fed turned upon
Mrs. Aspinwal. Manager Wright ap-

Wilder was brought TO Minneapolis dur
