the whole region is a vineyard, and some
of the choicest wines placed on German
tables are drawn along the elevations
overlooking the river. A short stretch
of travel brings the tourist within sight
of the spires of Frankfort one of the
most fiourishing cities of the German
Empire. It's character is utterly differ
emit from that of Mainz; the large gar
rison in the latter city gives tone to the
place; it is military in character, while
Frankfort, on the contrary. is CONNER
cial. 1t is a great market for American
goods and securities; it's streets TEEN
with traders from every part OF
Europe; but, nevertheless, it has
not lost those features of antiquity
which make it interesting to travel
ers from new word. In the
older part of the town the streets are
narrow, the houses overhanging; there
appear here and there specimens of
wood carving which would delight the
eye Of collector and in the Oldest por-
tion of the Jewish quarter stands the
house which saw the childhood of the
first and greatest Rothschild. Aside
from the ancient features of the town,
it is one of the most pleasant cities in
Germany in which to spend few weeks,
and no city of its size in Central Europe
is better provided with public parks and
promenades. To the tourist the Council
House will furnish no end of entertain
ment. for here the Emperors of Ger
many were once elected, and on it's bal-
cony after election they showed them
selves to the people in the public square
of Romerberg, below, where were en-
acted those gorgeous ceremonies which
it was Goethe's delight to describe.

SOUGHT HIS son In VAIN
COUNT KAROLYI'S MISSION IN
AMERICA.

The Former Premier of the Austrian Em-
pire Visits This Country In Search OF His
Heir, Who, After Getting Into the
Clutches of Band Of Vienna Usurers,
Eloped with an Adventures, but Re-
turns without Him.
A private letter from Vienna says that
Count Stephen Karolyi, one of the most
powerful and wealthy members OF the
old Hungarian aristocracy, has just re-
turneo there from the United States
without having succeeded in his mission.
The object of this journey across the
Atlantic was to recover his son, the
young Count George, who landed in
Boston accompanied by an actress named
Bariska Frank, the star of one of the
ourth-rate theaters of Buda Pesth.
According to the statements of the old
Count, the woman forms part Of gang
of Vienna usurers, whose sole object Is
to exploit the family of the young man.
The latter has been in their power for
more than year, and it was only when,
)oward the end of last summer, he was
N the point of making full confession
% his father of his troubles and of APP
Sealing to him to save him from their
clutches, that the gang, fearing to lose
him to elope with her to America.
In February the Count received the
news that his son had married the &C
tress, and he Immediately set out for the
United States. On reaching New York
he began search for his son, visiting
Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Chi
cago, San Francisco, Baltimore, Atlanta
and New Orleans. At the latter place
all traces of the couple were lost. The
Count accordingly returned to Vienna.
The object of the gang in keeping father
and son apart will be easily appreciated
when it is stated that the young Count
is an only son and legally entitled on the
death of his father to at least one-half
of the latter's vast fortune. According
to the Hungarian laws he cannot be dis
inherited, and is, therefore, being per-
suaded to discount his future inheritance
at a ruinous rate by the gang.

it is in a measure difficult for traveller

he must not only be independent, but en-

Tooth Powders and Tooth washes.

Powders and washes for the teeth
should be used with great care. Re
garding them, especially, the well
worn but pertinent caution to beware
of strolling vendors applies with the
deepest import. Every one has de-
sire for white and beautiful teeth, and
the itinerant who boasts loudly of the
power of his preparations to "whiten
one minute!" catches the popular ear
and sympathy on the spot. There is
nothing remarkable in the fact that
what he claims can be demonstrated.
Any chemist or apothecary can concoct
preparation which will do all this
and more. If used but short time it
will destroy the enamel, and with it,
of course, the entire set of teeth; since
the phenomenal result is and can be
reached only by the destruction of a
small portion of the outer surface of
the enamel. The result is the same
whether the agent be wash or powder,
since the latter simply contains the
chemicals of the former in an undis-
solved form. All strong acids or aka
lies should be avoided in the mouth,
and if there is doubt as to the compo-
sition of any preparation in this re-
spect, let it be tested with bit of
litmus paper. This paper can be OBJ
tanned OF any drug store, and is in two
colors blue and red The blue if
dampened with an acid solution, will
turn red, and the rapidity and intensity
of the change will indicate the acidity
of the solution. The red indicates
alkaIi by changing to blue, in the same
manner.
Tooth powders, as rule, should be
soluble and slightly antacid. There is
class of insoluble powders which are
of the most dangerous nature, of which
powdered charcoal is notable exam
pie. These consist of fine sharp par
ticles, which being pressed by the
brush between the teeth and gums, or
lodging between the teeth, may cause
the most serious results, even to the
destruction of the gums Or the cement.
The use of the brush in connection
with powders, washes or other treat
ment of the teeth should be gentle.
Bleeding of the gums is always dan
ger signal It shows that the skin has
been broken, inviting the absorption
into the system of any poisonous or
foreign matters which may be present
in the mouth. If the gums are very
tender soft brush should be used and
used very gently, till they have hard
ened sufficiently to withstand more
vigorous treatment. Even then the
liability will be to err on the side Of
harshness. and Home.

Continuing up the Main, the traveller
next passes the bustling little town of
Offenbach, with it's big castle and little
streets, through many of which a cart
would find it difficult, if not impossible,
to pass. Small as the town is. it's streets
morning and evening are filled with peo-
pie in a hurry to get to their work, for
Offenbach manufactures carriages and
cotton and playing cards. The deniZens
of Offenbach, however, do not devote all
their time to their work, for here as else
where in Germany the beer houses are
well patrOnized. The German operative
takes life easily; he is not wei paid, and
much hard work is required to make a
living; but he does not worry over the
fact, but smokes his pipe and drinks his
beer, talks politics with his neighbors,
goes to church on Sunday, grows old in
the same house in which his father lived,
dies, and is buried, if not in the same
grave, at least in one very near it.
Hanau, little further up the river, is
also manufacturing town, where much
is done and little said. The streets are
quiet at all hours of the day. for, whether
at home or in the factory, the German
workman is not noisy, and save on holt
days the stranger would not dream of
the teeming population of the town and
country around. Quiet and small as it
is, Hanau had greatness thrust upon it
by accident, for it was near here, after

The Curious Chain.

Notes and Queries tells the follow
ing from the Persian: A hunter finds
some honey in the assure of a rock,
fills a jar with it, and takes it to a
grocer. While it is being weighed a
drop falls to the ground, and is swal-
lowed up by the grocer's weasel.
Thereupon the huntsman's dog rushed
upon the weasel and kills it. The
grocer throws stone at the dog, and
kills him. The huntsman draws his
sword and cuts off the grocer's arm,
after which he is cut down by the in
furiated mob of the bazaar. The Gov
ernor of the town, informed of the
fact, sent messengers to arrest the
murderers. When the crowd resisted
troops we're sent to the scene of the
conflict, whereupon the townspeople
mixed themselves up in the riot, which
lasted three days and three nights,
with the result that 10000 men were
slain. All this through a drop of
honey.

JOHN WANAMAKER DISAPPOINTS
A SELECT AUDIENCE.
The People Would Like to Know More
About His Juggling With the Stock of
the Keystone National Bank.

PHILADELPHIA, June 29.-Contrary to
the general impression, Postmaster
General Wanamaker did not appear be-
fore the investigating committee of the
council this afternoon, to explain the
apparent discrepancy between his previ-
Gus testimony and the iacts subsequently
developed by the Keystone banks books.
Instead, he sent letter saying if any
information was wanted from him he
should be glad, at twenty-four hours
notice, tolmeet any members of the coun-
Gil and explain every item of his state
ment.
President Dunham, of the Mechanics
National bank, OF Trenton, testified that
the bank had loaned Yard money on a
certificate of Keystone bank stock for
200 shares, in the name of John Wana-
maker, and the transfer was signed by
him.
President Morris, of the Girard Trust
company, said his company once held
certificates of the Keystone bank as col
lateral for loan made to Wanamaker
In November last, temporary loans were
made to the keystone bank. Yard
came to President Morris and borrowed
the money, stating -ab the same time
that it would be great obligation to
Wanamaker. Morris said that conse-
quently his company loaned Wana-
maker the money on what he thinks
were some shares of electric stock.
Howard Spencer Jones, clerk in the
employ of Wanamaker, and in whose
name several of the certificates pledged
by Wanamaker to brokers, stood, ex-
planned that he signed the transfers at
the request of Wanamaker. He stated
that W. Rankin, in whose name several
of the certificates stood, was boy
formerly employed by Wanamaker.
Henry H. Yard was arraigned in court
today to answer to the charge of con-

to unlawfully use public funds. At the
request of the district attorney the trial
of Yard was postponed until September.
The district attorney gave as his rea-
sons for requesting the postponement OF
Yards trial, that a decision was ex-
pected in the suit against the accused to
compel him to answer the interrogato-
ries OF the city councils investigating
committee, and that Yard was expected
to make a statement.

Then he seated himself at an open win

at once began to fire at all
persons passing. He wounded woman,
and when the police attempted

ST.. LOUIS, June 29.-The wholesale:
and retail grocery establishment OF
David Nicholson was completely burned
this morning. The fire was discovered
on the fourth floor, and it spread SO rap
idly that all the firemen could do was to
save the adjoining property. The north
wall of the Nicholson building toppled
over onto one-story building adjoining,
demolishing it. Several buildings adj
jacent to that of the grocery firm were
damaged by fire.
The fire occurred at 4 O'Clock and the
guests at the Ivy house adjoining rushed
from their rooms and climbed down the
fire escape in their night clothes, many
of them having narrow escapes from be-
ing trampled to death. Tie heavy loser
is David Nicholson, whose stock and
building, valued at over $3.50, 900, were
almost totally destroyed. The insur-
ance is $175, 900. Other losses amount
to about $4,000, which are partially
covered by insurance. The cause OF the
fire is not known.

island OF Jamaica, who is at present in
the city. In this communication Blake
distinctly contradicts a dispatch dated
New York, June Goth, stating
that Jamaica is anxious for reciprocity
with the United States, and asserting
that the inhabitants of that island are
holding public meetings in order TO ad-
vocate tire reciprocity 1oea. Governor
Blake in conclusion says the merchants
and people of Jamaica are anxious to ex-
tend their trade in any and every direc-
ton, but that Jamaica is not prepared
to concede diferential duties to the
