the principles of the Chautauqua circles in

picture of Mr.. Austin Z. Burwell, of Seat

The German Emperor's Christmas.

BERLIN Dec. 26.-The emperor and en-
press on Christmas evening presided at
the distribution of presents at the new
palace at Potsdam. Each of the little
princess had his own table and tree
loaded with variety of gifts. Yesterday
the emperor sent to his own company of
guards a large pfefIerkuchen, made by the
court confectioner. This pepper cake, the
disuse of which has long been desired by
many, continues to be one of the solid in
situations of the season.

is rather familiar, but there a selection of
new business and fresh gags, and a wild extrav-
