LONDON, July 6.-Ths Emperor OF Ger
many arose at au early hour this morning
and after light breakfast he left Windsor
Castle on horseback, accompanied by the
Duke Of Connsught and Q brilliant staf
with the intention of visiting Eton. Eng
lands most popular college school. After
enjoying o bracing ride. the Emperor
reached Eton's battle-ground and there
found q welLeauipped, bright-looking body
of prospective collegians. about $50 in num-
Der, drawn up in line for his inspection.
As soon as the Emperor arrived near the
head OF the line the young Eton volunteers
presented arms in most soldiery MANNER
causing the Emperor to almost smile with
approval. As the lads brought their rifles
TO the present the Eton band struck mp
the national anthem and the crowds IN the
neigh borhood cbeered most heartily. As
the last note of tho anthem died away on
the morning air the young amateur soldiers
were put through the manual of arms and
other exercises. The Youngsters then
marched past the Emperor. who sat on
horseback surrounded by staff officers.
The lads marching was worthy of high
praise, and evidently greatly pleased the
imperial guest of England.
THREE CHEERS FOR THE KAISER.
After the march past the Eton Volunteers
again formed in line and at preconcerted
signal gave three ringing cheers for the
Emperor. in which greeting they were
joined by everybody present, among whom
were crowd Of Etonians of the past and
present. The Emperor was evidently much
pleased. When the cheering had subsidized
the Emperor rode 10 the front of the line
and, bowling TO the volunteers. praised the
manner in which they had gone through
their drill. which, be said, was performed
very creditably. The Emperor added:
81 an very pleased with what have seen
of you. If you are ever called upon to
draw swords in earnest / hope that you
will do so in good cause. and that you
will show the same pluck and spirit which
has always distinguished British soldiers"
The Emperor afterward inspected the
college buildings. and seemed to take much
interest in the manner in which the Elton
lads were housed. taught. and fed.
The Elton lads after the parading of the
volunteer corps, asked for permission to
draw the bridal carriage of the Princess
Louise of Schleswig- I1olstein and Prince
Aribert of Anhalt through Eton after the
ceremony this evening. when the newly
married couple will be en- route to Cliveden.

In 1871 Joel Chandler Harris was the asso-

where Miss Essie La Rose and her mother
were temporary guests. Her father was the

usually accompanied him.
Mr.. Harris was an unmitigated blonde,
with red hair and blue ewes, exceedingly
appreciative Of pretty faces. Miss La Rose

April 81, 1873, and lived i'll Savannah until
the summer Of 1876. when an epidemic OF
yellow-fever drove them TO Atlanta, Ga.
Mrs. Harris was born in 1854 near Albany,

for him of his best newspaper articles, the
reviews of his books. and sketches of him

GRAINS POKER STORY.
The Congressman Was Not Shot the First
Night and Escaped on the Second.
fWashington Star.l

Congressman Grain, who represents the
Galveston district of Texas, tells some re-
markable stories of poker-playing IN that
State during wartime. IL was an epoch
there of lawlcssness and mob rule, and per-
sonal bravery was the quality of leader
ship. One night he was playing 10 a
game with three or four others,
one of them desperate named Boyd.
The latter took advantage of the con-
VITALITY OF the proceedings to hold out o
card. and Grain saw him do 1t. On the
snur of the moment Grain said. boyd.
YOU are cheating! 1t was o foolish thing
10 do unless with pistol in hand, because
il meant Immediately murder. But TO the
surprise of every one Boyd simply turned
very pale. laughed. and replied: Cram
boards at my house. you know, and so
can't afford to shoot him."
The next evening Boyd came unlnvlted
into Grams room, where some other men
were. and offered to play Gram game OF
two-handed 'freeze-out." The latter as
sented and they sat down at the table,
while the rest drew their chairs back and
waited for the tragedy they supposed was
coming. A few moments later Boyd again
cheated so openly that he doubtless In
tended to be caught. and Grain at once
charged him with the offence. lmmedi-
ately BOYD leaped to his feet, seized two
chairs and threw them INTO tne ar. one
of them struck BOYD as it fell, and he
drew the pistol he had ready, crying:

it need be. but there's no occasion for
murder!"
Grains GOODNESS of action saved him, and
the duel never came off because friends
intertered. He lived TO secure Boyd's ac-
ouittal of murder subsequently. Later on,
however. Boyd was killed with his boots
on in row.
