Coming National KrIegenfest.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, August 1.-THE
fifteenth annual Kriegeufest of the
German Military societies of America
will be held in this CITY, commencing
on the 18th inst. Six Thousand Wis
itors attended the feast held last year
at Davenport, Ia, and as Fort Wayne
is much nearer the center of popula.
ton the attendance here will probably
be larger.
The membership Is confined to men
who have served in the German army
and have come to America with the in
tention Of making this country their
permanent home. The nature Of the
organization Is military, benevolent
and social. Aliens and anarchists are
strictly excluded and sixteen members
have been expelled for refusing to take
out naturalization papers. The nation
al president Of the general orgaaiza-
ton Is Hartwig Shusk Of Davenport,
Ia; Rudolph Volkmann OF San Francis
co, Cal, is chief vice president; Julius
Menke Of Cleveland, secretary, and
Louis Ertel Of Cincinnati, treasurer.
One Of the most interesting matters to
be discussed will be the location of q
German Soldiers home. The building
will cost $3.50, 900, which will be raised
by the society with outside help. The
city where the home Is located must
furnish twenty acres of land, and half
a dozen cities are contesting for the
prize

Reckless Match Strikers.

The terror of neat housekeepers is
the reckless person who strikes matches
on all sorts of improper places, leaving
scratches on walls, doors, mantels,
furniture, or anything contiguous to
the places where matches are kept.
The cigarette fiends are the most fire.
quent transgressors in this respect.
They light so many matches that they
get in the habit Of striking on the first
thing that comes handy. On some of
the ferryboats and most smoking cars
there are metal plates screwed to the
woodwork of convent access for strik-
ing matches. but the reckless match
strikers will not take the trouble to
use them, but strike on the first con-
venient surface. The result is seen in
long, ugly marks on the woodwork,
defacing the paint and making ugly
streaks. In many public buildings
there are also many such marks on
walls, especially in corners near exits,
where the match-striking demons have
left traces of their untidiness. 1t makes
no difference to these needless persons
when they see wall or a weinscot
freshly painted or newly cleaned.
With one fell swoop they will slash
away with their matches, leaving long
trails of sulphur to spoil the surface.
The careful man will use the prepared
surface Of the matchbox, or tagging.
or floor, or some place where the match
will not leave mark to be an eyesore.
But, alasl most of those who strike
matches are not careful. Some of
them deserve to be prosecuted under
that section Of the penal code which
prescribes a penalty for malicious mis-
chief.

No Fusion.

Topeka, August 1.-THE peoples
party convention for Shawnee county
met at 10 o'clock this morning, and
after effecting Q temporary organiza-
ton, adjourned until O'Clock this after
noon. There will be no fusion with the
democrats, and those statesman of John
Martin variety, who have been advo-
eating the scheme so bitterly denounced
by the editors find themselves without
q home and without party.
At O'Clock this afternoon the demo-
cratic convention will meet. BY that
time the committee on resolutions ap-
pointed by the alliance convention will
have reported, and Judge Martin and
his friends will have nothing to do but
I'LL their ticket with democrats good

alliance convention Just behind the del

Botkin In Topeka.

Topeka, KS, August 11.-Judge
Theodosius Botkin arrived in the city
this morning from Arkalon, and will
leave tonight for Wichita.
When ssked whe Their he had decided
to preside at the trial OF
James Brennan for the murder Of Col
onel Sam Wood or ask the election of q
Judge pro tenn to officiate in his stead,
he replied:
81 am not in the habit of anticipat-
ing my judicial rulings and l will not
announce what intend to do in this
case until the time comes to act. / am
not of the kind to be Influenced by
threats and bulldozing tactics, but will
do my duty fearlessly according to my
best Judgment.
The Judge then exhibited a number
of letters. Some were anonymous but
purported to come from his friends
while others were signed by the names
of the writer's who are trusted advisers,
all warning that attempts were to be
made to assassinate him. One post
marked Topeka, and signed "a
Friend" stating that plans had been
perfected to shoot him If he persisted
In sitting as judge at Bren-
mans trial and that in that event Bren-
nan would be asiassinated in the court
room. The writer attempts to convey
the impression that he is interested in
Botkin's welfare and that he is in a
position to know of the plans of his
enemies. Judge Botkin does not be-
lieve that this letter was written to
him in friendly spirit but for the pur-
pose of frightening him.
Another letter comes from an old
personal friend of Judge Botkin In Ok
lahoma, and informs him that Ed Short
has left the territory for southwestern
Kansas with the avowed intention Of
revenging Sam Woods murder. 1t also
states that Short has 1t in for Judge
Botkin in particular and warns him to
be on the look out. Ed Short was the
marshal Of Woodsdale while Sam Wood
was mayor and he is known to be one
of the most desperate men In the coun-
try. Short was leader of the Woods
dale faction in the Stevens county war,
and it was he who attopted to arrest
Sam Robinson, the Hugoton marshal,
in the neutral strip, which finally re-
suited in the killing of Sheriff Cross
and party at the hsystacks. Should
the numerous letters of warning re-
ceived by Judge Botkin have any foun-
dation In fact, there is likely to be
trouble In Hugoton when Brennan is
brought there for trial next mouth.

An Englishman's Awful Error.

A dramatic critic in desultory con.
versation the other night said he won
dered why Cinderella wore glass slip
pers; he never saw any one dance in
glass slippers. and he didn't believe
any one could dance in glass slippers.
One man suggested that it was fairy
tale. Another man made every one
tired by talking of malleable glass.
He remarked that he once saw Pitts
burg lady in glass gown-he should
have been ashamed to mention it any
way. The manager, q distinguished
Gallicist-he once went to school with
Tartarin at Tarascon-ssid she never
did not wear glass slippers.
You see." he explained, cinderella
was indebted to q translator's mistake
for her uncomfortable pumps. This
delightful extravaganza was originally
French. and the man who Euglished it
didn't know his business. The French
words are 'pantou1es de vair'-fur
slippers. Now the word for glass is
verre. and the English chump got 'em
mixed up. - CHICAGO Tribune

Mexican Conservatism.

A recent traveller in Mexico says the
natives are unwilling to adopt modern
ways, and it is nearly impossible TO
make them change. An Englishman
engaged in mining put up hosting
plant but found at once that it was
money thrown away. as the workman
would not consent to its use. They
had long been accustomed to carry the
ore in sacks supported by a broad can
vas band passing over their foreheads.
and to receive SO much for each sack
delivered at the mouth of the shaft.
To get it there an ascent of over 200
feet had to be made by means of lad
ders and accordingly progress was
very slow. But nothing would induce
them to use the hosting machinery.
and it had to be abandoned, every man
working In the old fashion.

CHURCH AND STATE.
Little Pleasantries Prompted by Sharp
and Telling Wit

Tradition tells of a fiery Anglo-Indian
colonel who. getting into a hot dispute
with a portly clergyman, remarked
pointediy, 1T is a pity that black ants
should not be useful in proportion to their
SIZE" Whereon the parson at once re-
| torted, 1T is a greater pity that red ants,
which are so insignificant, should YET be
| so offensive
Another collision of this kind between
church and state. in which the church
again had the best of 1t, Is said to have
occurred at an English public dinner,
where would-be witty officer asked a
well known colonial bishop. who sat next
to him, whether ne couid tell the differv
ence between bishop and donkey, and
then proceeded to explain that the one
wears the cross on his head, and the other
wears it on his back.
Every good, Major B. said the
bishop. but now can you tell the diff
ference between an army officer and a
donkeyg'
mo, my lord, | cannot" replied the
major.
Even this. however, was surpassed by
another passage of repaftee between the
gown and the sword which is still pre-
served among the society legends of Cal
cult 1. A certain famous English gem
eral, the hero of two Eastern wars. found
his health beginning to give way beneath
the strain OF long and arduous service
aud was ordered home by his doctors. On
the day Of his EN- barkaiion for England
he was accompanied by a vast crowd of
friends, to whom he began to distribute
various small tokens OF his regard.
"Well, General" asked the Bishop Of
Calcutta, vino was one of the party; .have
you no memento TO leave to an old friend
like me2"
"Oh, have not forgotten you. my lord2n
cried the general. ION the contrary,
have bequeathed to you my entire stock Of
impudence."
''ren thousand thanks. my dear gene
raj" replied the uadaunted bishop. You
have given me by far the largest and most
valuable part of your property"
And then the bishops wife turned to
her husband, and said sweetly, "My
dear. am glad to see that you have come
into your legacy so soon. "-David Ker,
