~ Nfiiu sensation at the Court
Chapel, Berlin.
BERLIN, Feb. IA mild sensation

persOnages were present. by a man in
the audience rising and crying out loud

continue lis remarks. but before he
could utter another word the vigiIant
attendants had seized him and hustled
him from the room. Court Preacher
sleregre continued his sermon and the
congregation quickly regained their
composure. 1t inevitably happens. how
ever, that any occurrence in which the
emperor Is even remotely concerned
speedily becomes the subject of most
absurd gossip and eXaggeration. Stories
began to circulate throughout PotSdam
and Berlin of something extraordinary
having happened during the service
The kaiser was said to have
INDUCED in some eccentficity. Finally.
the tale was confidently passed from
mouth to mouth that the emperor had
shouted 10 the preacher To stop talking
nonsense, and had suggested taking the
pulpit himself for the purpose OF ex-
pounding correctly some doctrine with
whose treatment at the hands of the
minister he had found fault. The

FELL ON HIS SIDE,
And May Die of His Serious In
iupieS

And May Die of His Serious In
Juries.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 14.-MeredIth STAN
ley, the bridge-jumper, made what in
all probability will prove fatal leap
yesterday from the Cincinnati & Gov
Ington bridge, distance of over 100
feet, into the Ohio river. Only few
weeks ago Stanley and his wife made
successful double leap from the
Chesapeake & Ohio bridge. Since
then they have been on exhibit
ton at dime museum in this
city. Stanley is now lying IN
bed suffering intensely and unable to
talk. His side is badly hurt, and it is
feared he has received fatal injuries. A
party of men few weeks ago raised a
purse of S25. which they offered to
Stanley and his wife to leap from the
bridge together. This morning she re-
fused on account of the sum being too
small and the water too cold. She ac-
cOmpanied her husband down town and
then went to see her mother when Stan
ley went to the river, telling her he in
tended making the jump. Ali knowledge
of the proposed jump was confined to
those who had subscribed to the purse.
At the hour named he walked out to the
center OF the DrlQg6 ana maze the leap.
AS he jumped he saw piece of wood
floating in the water, and turned his
body in the descent to avoid striking it.
In consequence he fell on his side, and
when he sank into the water he did not
reappear very soon. When he did come
upit was seen that he was hurt. A boat
took him to the shore, where he was
dressed and taken home. Those who
subscribed to the purse were alarmed at
the result, and made themselves scarce
without handing over the money.

PARISIANS EAT HORSES.
The Price of Beef Too Steen for
FrenChmen.

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE rise in prices
of beef caused by the new tariff has
led to a large demand for horsefiesh in
Paris. According 10 report of the
police prefecture, horses and mules
slaughtered represent over one
third of the whole quantity of
meat consumed. Fillet or horse
or donkey is retailed 10 pence pound,
steak at pence per pound and inferior
parts at pence per pound. Worn out
animals are rising in value, and are
being bought up everywhere within a
radius of 500 miles of Paris. Havre im-
porters of American pork have obtained
the abrOgation of the order by which
consignment of pork could not be
landed until the order presented
q certificate from United States in
spector. Such pork can ROW be landed
at the convenience of the importers
through the Havre chamber of COM
merce, which now asks ior The reSclnd-
ing of the order by which meat found
unfit for use is to be destroyed. The
authorities will probably be advised to
hold such meat until the American eX-
porters decide to have it returned.

A MOUND BUILDERS IDOL.
Curious Bed OF Pottery Recent,
EXcaVated in Arkansas.

Excavated in Arkansas.
The state historical society was en-
riched yesterday by an image of pottery
supposed to be an idol of some prehis-
toric race. probably the mound build
ers, says the Topeka Capital.
The idol was found near Aron, lnde-
pendence county, Ark, and was dug
from mound by relic hunters along
with number of decayed human bones,
copper arroWheadS and broken domestic
utensils. 1t is the property of g. w.
Hume. of Stratsburg, Mo.
The idol is seven inches in height by
five inches In diameter. 1t is rudely
constructed, having evidently been
formed by hand, or at best very crude
tools, from common clay and afterWard
hardened by being dried in the sun.
The idol represents human figure in
kneeling posture, the arms extending
at the side. The features are rudely
formed, yet, notwithstanding this, are
not altogether repulsiye. the nose being
gracefully aquiline and the lips we'll
formed.
The ears are missing, but the rem
naDts show that they were adorned
with rings. The body is ''squatty" and
might be said to resemble toad. At
WIZ IOP VI biiO ICaQ IuCIO 10 q I1OlE,
which seems to have a purpose, probably
that of fastening a head dress to the
figure. The image would hardly be cat
alogued with the works of art, but it is,
nevertheless, an interesting relic.
The race whose deity was represented
Dy this clumsy bit of clay inhabited the
Mississippi valley from the great lakes
to the Gulf at time to which the tradi-
tions of man runneth not. Who they
were. where they came from. what their
manner of life was, is all mystery.
True, many mounds, excavations and
burying grounds of this lost people
have been discovered, but so far they
have given but little of their history.
That they lived and died before the race
of American Indians existed is proved
by the fact that the traditions of this
latter race contain no reference to this
lost people, although their mounds and
relics are mentioned.
Many mounds of this kinds are found
In Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennes-
see. Ohio and Indiana, and few have
been discovered in nearly all the states
in the Mississippi valley.
