Won MoLTKE's LETTER
Some Specimen Passages Illustrating Hi,
Military Genius.

Some Specimen Passages Illustrating Hi,
Military Genius.
LONDON, Feb. 29.-The first volume oi
Court Won Mpltke's war correspondence il
of interest chiefly to students of military
tactics. The volume contains 146 letters re.
lating to the Danish War of 1854 The
foresight of Won Moltke was shown as early
as 1868, when writing to Won Room of the
necessity of plan of concentration SO the
army would be ready to meet the French.
He said the plan ought to be based upon the
solid cooperation of the whole of South
west Germany, especially Bavaria.
The development Of the plans discloses
the fact that he attached the greatest i'm
portance to the general international situa-
tion. He wrote to King William in Janu-
ary, 1864, that should Saxony and Hanover,
as then seemed possible, join Denmark, the
seat Of war would be transferred, and fresh
mobilization would be necessary. Amongst
Won Moltke's characteristic phrases occur
the following, in letters to General Blumen-
thai: "For goodness sake, don't make ex-
tensive reports on events about to happen;"
and a-'.in, ''make history; leave the writ
ing Oh it to others. Take Alsen and 5000
pairs of boots, and all other sins you ever
committed will be forgiven you"

NEW CHANCE FOB FARMERS
No Reason Why Sunfowers May Not Be
ProfitabIy Grown Here.

No Reason Why Sunhowers May Not Be
Proftably Grown Here.
In return for the corn which Uncle Sam
proposes to teach the Russians how to eat,
it is seriously suggested that we shall adopt
few hints from them respecting the USE
fulness of the sunfower. There are regions
in the West which might be most profta-
bly, utilized for the cultivation of this plant,
which has been found so valuable for food
purposes in the empire of the Gar that
700, 900 acres in that country are annually
planted with it. Two kindsthere are chiefly
-one which bears small seeds, used for
making oil, while the other produces big
seeds, which are consumed in enormous
quantities by the common people In the
same way that peanuts are eaten here, ex-
cept that they are devoured raw.
There is hardly another plant in the
world which serves SO manv uses, every part
of it being valuable for one purpose or an
other. The oil is so nutritious and agreeable
in flavor that in Russia it has to a great ex-
tent superseded all other vegetable oils 1t
is obtained by passing the seeds beneath
millstones, so as to crush the shells, sitting
them to separate the kernels, and finally
pressing the latter in bags Of horsehair
cloth. The cakes left after the oil has been
expressed are excellent fodder for cattle
The shells are employed for heating, special
ovens being made to burn them in, while
the stalks have almost replaced frewood,
being gathered and dried in stacks in the
fields. A ton of the latter is OBJ
tanned from each acre cultivated.
They make = very hot and quick
fire. The seedcups are utilized as food for
sheep. A big one, when ripe, will yield
1000 seeds. The largest and finest seed
cups are selected in the autumn and hung
by their stalks in a dry place. In the fol-
lowing spring the seeds are shaken out Of
them and dried in ovens for planting. At
harvest time the flowers are gathered as
fast as they are ripe and spread upon the
ground to dry. Then the seeds are beaten
out of them with small stick by whipping
each cup. Finally the seeds are dried in
the sun or in kilns and are sorted by means
of screens into different Sizes
An acre planted with sunfowers yields
1000 pounds OF seeds, from which 25O
pounds of oil may be obtained. Ten million
quarts OF this oil are produced BY Russian
mills. Who knows that the time may not
yet come when small boys in this country
will gobble sunfower seeds at the circus
just as they now consume the festive and
odoriferous goober.

DISTRESS ALI OVER EuRopI
Not In Russia and Germany Alone, but Also
in Austria.

Not In Russia and Germany Alone, but Also
in Austria.
VIENNA, Feb. 29.-The authorities of
this city have at last been compelled to rec
ognize the urgency of the situation among
the poor, and now permit the Socialist re-
lief committee to circulate appeals, hitherto
prohibited, for donations. The distribution
was attended with some turbulent scenes,
which were repressed by the police. 1t is
estimated that 5000 shoemakers, 5000 car
penters, 900 metal workers, 1000 stone
workers and 2, 300 unskilled lsborers are out
of work. As an alleged result Of the Nc
Kinley law 1900 pearl workers were
thrown out of employment, and are now
classed as unskilled workmen. The Aus
trian laws prevent embracing new trade
without serving new apprenticeships, which
Is impossible In the case of adults burdened
with families
Many shocking cases of "sweating" were
brought to light A blacksmith who re-
ceived 16 pence for making 1000 screws or
nuts, earned shillings and 8 pence weekly
and paid out 8 shillings and pence for rent
and yearly tax to the Government Of 10
shillings and pence. Five years ago he
earned three times as much for the Same
amount Of work. In another case sweater
paid 8 pence for the making of dozen
brushes. Many similar cases are told Of
cases of parents and children engaged in
ceaseless toll earning an aggregate of to Z
shillings weekly, and Of widows, with chill
dren In worse plight, earning 8 pence
daily. The fact that womeH work as labor
ers in the building and other trades makes
unskilled labor valueless. The poor seldom
taste meat, even horse flesh, which is sold
at 8 or pence per pound. and fuel is very
dear. The cellar dwellings are often loath-
some dungeons, only separated from the
sewers by few bricks.

THE SOUDAN.
Tho Greatest OF Spectacular Melodramas
Makes a Big Hit at the Alvin.

Tho Greatest Of Spectacular Melodramas
Makes Big Hit at the Alvin.
''The Soudan" paid its respects to Pitts
burgers for the first time at the Alvin
Theater last night It has the reputation
of being the best spectacular melodrama on
the road, and strange as it may seem, fully
sustains its reputation. 1t is, at least, the
best thing of the kind that has ever been
seen in the city. There are 13 different
scenes, every one of which is gotten up on
massive scale, but, so well are they
handled that there is not single wait
longer than a minute during the entire per-
formance. The orchestra does not have an
opportunity to play single overture, which
is, of course, very hard to bear Instead,
the audience is treated to the most marvel
GUS kind of changing and manipulating
of scenery. Perhaps the finest effect
is the Stone Field Farm in the second
act. At first the sky in the back
ground is lit up with all the gorgeous
ness Of a summer sunset. This changes
to gloom and darkness and finally
storm. The imitation of thunder and
lightning is extremity fine, surprising even
in some respects the efforts Of the famous
Meininger Company. Another fine scene is
the African camp Of the English soldiers at
night and their departure for battle Then
there is ''The Desert City," with its streets
crowded with Arabs, and the attack and
storming of the walls by the military. The
climax is rendered in the concluding scene
of the fourth act which gives q splendid
view of Trafalgar Square, London. The
streets and houses are packed with q mob of
excited and joyous citizens welcoming the
return Of the troops from "the war. >" To
the music of drum-corps and full brass
band company after company OF infantry of
the line, highlanders, gunners, etc march in
and pass in review. How the scene with its
crowds OF people, is placed in position in such
ashort time is almost beyond comprehension.
The story of the play is in the
regular order of the good old style melo-
drama Tears and blood are shed in abund-
ance. There arc Williams, adventures,
heroes and heroines without number, as
we'll as plentiful sprinkling of comedians
who supply good, honest fun. The company
is not above the ordinary, although there
are some fairly good performers In the cast.
Forest Robinson, an old favorite here, has
not much to do, but does what there is to
do we'll Miss Maud Banks plays the un-
fortunate wife with all the pathos re-
quired. The other parts were distributed
Judiciously. The audience took very kindly
to the performance of Master Walter Lewis
Is Dick, founding. The little lad
was certainly very clever and has a
bright future before him. Espe-
cial credit must be given the
stage manager, Harry Rose, and his assist
ant, J. c. Callahan. They bundled all of
the heavy sets without single hitch, even
If they had to appear themselves in the
Trafalgar Square scene and show some Of
the mob their business. It marred some of
the effectiveness of the scene, but prevented
what might have been worse, bad blunder.

Tho Story Of Her Adventure In the Com

LONDON, Feb. 29-John Goodall, an
evangelist, was arraigned to-day on the
charge of having committed on January IL
an assault which resulted in grievous bodily
harm, on Mrs. Mary Ann Slddals. When
the prisoner was confronted with Mrs. Sid
dals, she immediately identified him as the
man who had been in the compartment of
the car with her. They were the only occu-
pants Of the compartment, and the man
engaged heY in conversation. He finally
insulted her, which she declined to listen
to, and he then assaulted her. She strug-
gled desperately to escape.
Finding herself overpowered she man.
aged to force open the door of the compart-
ment and reach the footboard of the carriage.
Here, clasping the rail with one hand, she
signaled with the other for help, but, of
course, it was impossible for those beside
the track who saw her to render any aid, as
the train was running at high rate of
speed. Mrs. Siddals says that shortly after
reaching the footboard she became SO
nervous that she lost her hold and fell, re-
membering nothing more. She struck the
ground with great violence, and 1t was feared
that she would never recover from her

FIRST TORY DEFEAT.
Liberals Win Their First Parliament
ary Victory by Two Votes
GLADSTONE Is BACK IN LONDON.
Tales Of Distress Coming From Austria As
Well As Russia.
SOME POINTS. IN Won M0LTKEs BOOK

LONDON, Feb. 29.-Mr. and Mrs. Glad
stone returned to-day from France. Singu.
larly enough, his arrival was signaled by
the first Parliamentary victory the Liberals
won in this session. It was not won over
the Government, 1t is true. but it was
gained over the party which controls the
Government
In the House of Commons to-day the bill
promoted by the London County Council,
proposing to connect the tranwsys Of
South and North London, was op-
posed by the Conservatives as putting
in practice the socialistic principle
held by the majority Of the council.
The Liberals supported the bill. After a
long debate the measure passed its second
reading by vote of 160 to 15s The an
nouncement of the vote was greeted with
opposition cheers, though it was not Gov
ernment defeat.
The division was conducted with the
keenest interest.
There was whip out on each side. The
result was tantamount to Liberal victory.
Replying to question, the Right Hon.
James Lowtho, Parliamentary Secretary Of
the Foreign Office, stated that the Govefn-
ment had not yet received copy of the re-
port furnished to the American authorities
by the United States Emigration Commits
sion. He said, however, that the statement
contained in the report to the effect that
during the last eleven years there had been
an organized movement in Great Britain
to send such convicts to the United States,
was repetition of an allegation made in
1889 by the United States Commission on
Emigration. 1t was then shown to the
United States Government that the state
ment was devoid OF foundation.
While the questions were proceeding,
Mr.. Gladstone entered the House from be-
hind the Speakers chair. As soon as he
was seen he was greeted with hearty
cheer
Sir William Harcourt made a speech at
the Liberal Club tonight. He said he had
snatched moment from his duties in the
House, happy in the knowledge that the
opposition had just beaten the Govern
ment by majority of two. [Cheers ].
The Liberals had the joy of welcom-
ing to she House their commander in chief,
[cheers], who had returned, full of life,
strength and hope. Never had an army a
more experienced and trained leader. Never
had leader more courageous or a more
force. These facts assured them
of success in the coming National struggle.
[Cheers.

FIGURES ON PLAYING CARDS
Original Significance of the Ornamentation
as Applied in France.
Pearson's Weekly.l

Pearson's weekly.l
The French are believed to have been the
first people in Europe to use playing cards,
and, as first made, cards were supposed to
represent the different classes of persons in
the kingdom. The hearts we're the ''choir
men," or ecclesisstics; and early cards of this
suit have cope which, in form, somew hat
resembled heart. The figure by us called
a spade was originally a pike head, and typi-
fed the nobility and soldiery; the artisans
were represented by stone tile, now known
as diamond; while the farmers were SYM
bolized by the trefoil or clover leaf by us
called club.
The four kings were originally David,
Alexander, Cesar and Charlemagne, repre-
senting the four great monarchies, while the
queens were Argine, Esther, Judith and
Pallas. typical of birth, piety, fortitude and
wisdom-Argine being an anagram for
Regina The knaves were either knights or
servants to knights, but which is uncertain,
though the former conjecture is the more
probable, from the fact that on cards Of an
early date appear the names of famous
knights. The French cards of the present
day retain the names already mentioned Of
the kings and queens, these names being
generally printed on the cards.
