WHY The DINNER WAS lArE.


An Exhaustive Search Was Necessary to
Discover Important Utensils.
An incident which occurred two or
three years ago, on the occasion of the
young German emperor's visit to Greece.
illustrates anew the fact, which no one
ever doubted, that the etiquette of a
court may bring as much discomfort TO
the king as to the people who surround
him.
The kaiser holds the honorary rank of
admiral in the British navy. The com
mander of the British squadron in Greek
waters rendered his majesty dinner on
board his ship. OF course the banouet
was to be most elaborate and ,napnif;-
cent affair.
The hour arrived, and the royal guest
and his suite and officers, all in brilliant
uniform, were assembled. Then il was
discovered that an important implement
was missing. Where was the emperor's
knife and fork?
For the kaiser, having but one arm
that he can use-his left arm is with
ered-can WELD the scepter, the sword or
the pen, but cannot use knife and fork
as other people use them. In their place
ne employs an ingenious contrivance
which combines in one implement both
knife and fork, and does very well with il.
just at that moment it was discovered
that the imperial knife and fork had not
been placed by the imperial plate. II
was sought for, but it could not be
found. The emperor's attendants were
inquired of; no one knew where it was.
Then the knife and fork might have
been left ashore, perhaps. A picked
crew were put into one of the ships
boats, and brawny backs bent over the
oars, for the errand was one that called
for dispatch. The emperor's quarters in
the city were searched, but no knife and
fork could be found.
All this time the dinner was spoiling.
The search had been made with all pos
sible energy, but it was now two hours
since the table had lacked only the
kaisers knife and fork. But the dinner
could not be eaten until the kaiser was
ready to eat, and his eating implements
must be found.
Perhaps before this time the happy
thought had occurred to more than one
person, "The emperor may know where
1t is." But up to this time no one had
ventured to ask him. Would he, under
the melancholy circumstances, take it
amiss if he were questioned? Hunger
rendered the host bold; with decorus
delicacy the emperor was approached,
and the momentous question was put.
Could he tell where his knife and fork
might be found?
"Why, yes, here it isl replied William
IL; and reaching inside his uniform he
produced the much sought implement
from an inner pocket.
The host forthwith led the way to the
table, not only greatly relieved in mind,
but deeply impressed with the fact that
the affairs of Germany were in safe

A Magnificent Vessel.

In 1858 B. G. Archimedes devised a
marvellous ship for Hero of Syracuse.
Her three lofty masts had been brought
from Britain, whereas our ships masts
are of iron, or obtained from New Zea-
land or from Vancouver island. Lux
uriously fitted sleeping apartments
abounded, and one of her banqueting
halls was paved with agate and costly
Sicilian stone. Other floors were cum
ningly inlaid with scenes from the niad.
Stables for many horsesy ponds stocked
with live fish, gardens watered by artif-
cial rivulets and hot baths were pro-
vided for use or amusement. Cham

death did not create vacancy in the

The Phonograph and the Dumb.

Recent tests in the use of the phono-
graph in the deaf and dumb institute at
Indianapolis show that it is useful in
concentrating sound upon the drum of
the ear, so that many pupils otherwise
deaf can hear it. 1t is thought by the
superintendent that he can by this
means soon teach the use of their voices
to many mutes whose inability to speak
is due to the fact that they have never
heard speech.-Exchange

ARMOR PLATES.

Armor of the Highest Quality.

Americas Ability to Manufacture
Armor OF the Highest Quality.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The thickest
country was successfully tested at the
Indian Head proving grounds Saturday.
1t is one Of the fourteen-inch nickel-steel
diagonal plates for the Indiana, and is
the first of the battle-ship armor- plates
completed by the Bethlehem Iron Works.
Twenty diagonal plates for the battle
ships Indiana and Massachusetts, aggre-
eating 800 tons, and representing half a
million dollars in value, Will at once be
accepted as a result of the test. The
result shows conclusively the ability OF
the American armor-makerS to supply
armor-plate Of the highest quality. The
conditions were more severe than the
tests imposed by foreign countries.
Under the terms of the contract pro-
jectile might go nearly through the plate
and the backing and be accepted, if no
serious cracks were developed. None OF
the three shots fired succeeded in getting
far enough into the plate TO show back
ing.
Three shots were fired near the middle
region of the plate, the three points of
impact forming an equilateral triangle.
All three shots rebounded, one of them
back to the muZzle of the gun, distance
OF l35 feet. The deepest penetration was
fourteen inches; the other two an inch or
two less. Only few slight cracks i'm
mediately surrounding the burr of each
orifice were made. 4 1G-inch gun was
used in the test. Two of the proiectiles
were Firth imported. The third was
made by the same process in this coun-
try. The latter was thrown out entirely
uninjured, while one of the imported
broke in two, thus showing splendid
record for the American projectile as well
as the American plate. The projectiles
weighed 500 pounds. The powder charge
was 140 pounds, giving a striking veloc-
ity Of ,4l0 feet per second.

the return Of Baron Fava, whose services
in promoting good relations between
Italy and the United States, he said, had
always been highly appreciated. The

he was specially gratified that the differ

granting an injunction restraining the
carrying out of an order setting aside an
order made by Secretary Villas granting

The court holds that the authority of Sec
retary Villas to pass upon the question
was unquestionable, and he having acted
and made the order it could not be an
nulled and set aside except by judicial
authority, and the granting of the order
of 1889 conveyed certain rights in the
nature of title which could only be as
sailed by judicial proceedings.

GREENWOOD MURDER.
The Trial of Carl Schmidt Resumed at
Napa.

Napa.
NAPA, May %. - The trial of Carl
Schmidt for the murder Of Mrs. Lucina
Greenwood was resumed this morning
Captain Greenwood was placed on the
witness-stand and cross-examined. The
only important point brought out was
the denial by witness of the testimony
given at the Coroner's inquest and
signed by Greenwood. Greenwood We
hemently denied giving the statements
credited TO him at the inquest. He testi-
lied he did not see Schmidt lay his hand
on his wife, nor mix any poisons which
were administered to her.
DR.. +. Haun, who dressed Greenwood's
wounds and held the autopsy on Mrs.
Greenwood, testified about the wounds
on both. He said that the bullet wound
IN Mrs. Greenwood's head did not cause
death; that she was dead before the
wound was received, leaving the pre-
sumption that death was caused by poi
sons. He removed her stomach, which
was sent 10 San Francisco for analysis
The pistol which Schmidt used, and
which he had hid under the railroad
bridge, was introduced in evidence.
Professor Price, a San Francisco chem
iSt, testified in the Greenwood case this
afternoon that he analyzed the contents
of Mrs. Greenwood's stomach, finding
liquid chloroform and arsenic acid in
sufficient quantities to produce death.
Hugh Kelly testified to finding Green
wood, bound and gagged, on the county
road, at his gate, on the morning follow
ing the homicide.
John kyser of Penryn, Placer County,
testified that Schmidt worked for him
twenty-siX days after February Is, 1891.
Sheriff Mckenzie related the admis-
sions and confession made him by de-
iendant
