Growing a Beard.

Growing a Beard.
Copyright, 1891, By the ~ Y. associated Press.)
BERLIN, Aug. 22.-Whatever effect the
canards regarding the emperor's health
may have elsewhere, his popularity in Ber-
lin has not diminished in the slightest de-
gree. As his majesty proceeded along
Friederichstrasse to-day en- route to the
Templehof. the crowds packed the side-
paths, and the utmost enthusiasm was
manifested. The emperor is the
picture of health, but the full, sandy beard
which he now wears has greatly changed
his appearance, although it becomes him
well. The growth Of his beard explains his
majesty's prolonged stay on his yacht To
support bis character, which Is well known
for his sensational tendency, he would not
allow himself to appear in public growing q
beard. He feared that he would be made q
subject of ridicule.
REVIEW OF THE GUARDS.
Tho review of the Garde de Corps to-day
was splendid spectacle. The emperor who
was In full uniform, directed the review.
He did not show the least fatigue while on
horseback He was, however. assisted to
dismount, for. though his knee is practically
well, his physicians insist he must not run
any chances Of spraining, or in any other
way injuring his leg again.

needles and thread. Tho "holy coat" Is
now partially overlaid with layer Of the
materials with which it has been wrapped
up, and these wrappers havs become de-
cayed and cannot be separated from the
coat.
CHARACTER OF THE MATERIAL.
DR.. Beck Of Aix-la- -Chapelle declares that
he has examined the reverse side of the
garment, and found IL was mounted on
byssus silk, which was used in TIE first
century, and which was never manufact-
ured after the sixth century, and which was
always extremely costly.
Catholic circles consider the coat is the
genuine garment worn by our Lord. It Is
explained that bysus Is a name given
from ancient Greek and Roman times to a
bundle of silky filaments by which many
bivalve shells attach themselves to rocks

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 16.-Presi-
dent Gompers. of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor. in his annual report,
reviews the growth of the organiza-
ton. He set forth the history Of the
eight-hour movement which had been
proposed to be put in effect by the
miners the first day of last Nav, and
expressed his ehagrin at the failure of
the movement. He impressed upon them
the Importance of the movement and
cited many instances where it had been
a local success. The report recon-
mended the election of a delegation TO
visit the trades union congress of Great
Britain and the trades union congress
of Germany to be held in 1892 and other
labor conventions. He recommended
holding an International labor congress
in Chicago in Septem Der, 1892, or in
May, 1898. He recommended the per-
sonal visitations of representative of
the American Federation to all parts of
the world in order to insure full repre-
sentation at the Chicago convention
He opposed political action as a body,
and urged national legislation making

Important Topics Discussed.
Mr. Gompers criticises the employ
ment of convicts in the mining regions,
dwells on unfair immigra ton, denies
that the federation as whole has
taken political action, deplores
the condition of woman labor
owing to lack of organization
and condemns child labor. He
says 270. 600 organized worlxingmen
have signed petition tavoring woman
suffrage, condemns recent attacks on
free speech and mblage, recon-
mends closer utilization of labor organ

FAMINE AND SMALLPOX.

Disease Rapidly Spreading Among Rus
sia's Unfortunate and Starving Peasant
nv.
ST.. PETERSBURG, Dec 16.-The spec
ter of pestlence has added its terrors
to the famine. In two small viii
lagos Of the government of Ri
azan POO persons are down with
smallpox and fifty deaths have
already occurred. Smallpox is also
ravaging the provinces of Viatka,
Samara, Kharkoff, Vladimir. Kursl1,
Orenburg. Peterho6 and Saratoff In
addition to this visitation of smallpox,
typhoid fever is carrying off humorous
victims in various provinces.
A more gloomy outlook could not
well be imagined, and, although the
few doctors scattered through the
country are ICING their utmost to stay
the disease their efforts are almost
useless. The people have reached a
stage where they think it useless TO
fight against any aiilictlon sent them
At Shadrinsk, in the province of
Perm, a sad condition of affairs exists,
and it may be necessary for the govern
msnt TO interfere to prevent the whole
sale carrying off Of the inhabitants
by famine. The granaries there
are almost exhausted and the poor
people know not where to turn to OBJ
tain food to keep life in their miserable
bodies. Missionaries who We're sent TO
relieve the distress were unable to
buy corn at any price. All the
stocks of grain in the vicinity were de-
pleted or else those who did have grain
refused to sell it for fear that if they
did they would soon find themselves in
a plight similar to their unfortunate
neighbors
