THE SWISS REPUBLIC.

dent,

The Recent Election and the New Presi-
dent.
Switzerland's $ new president is Charles
Emanuel Schenk, or, as his German
speaking fellow citizens say, Karl
Schenk. Two Of his sons live in the
United States-one at Fort Smell, the
other at Bernstadt, Laurel county, KY,
where he founded Swiss colony Of i'm
migrants from Berne. DR.. Dietrich, of
: Chicago, is son-in-law of the new presi-
dent. ,....5-~.
The vice president is Colonel Emil
Frey, who was once Swiss minister to
the United States. Before he was sent
to Washington Switzerland had been
represented in the United. States by a
consul general. Colonel Frey returned
home about three years ago and has since
been active in politics. He has been q
member Of the Swiss national congress
at various times, and from 1876 to 1876 he
was president Of the senate. he looks
like soldier, as he is. Colonel Frey has
just passed his fifty-fourth year. 55@

academic title Of doctor" !" began active
life as q clergyman, but quit the church
to enter politics, He is now nearly sew
entyr years Of age and has been prpmi-;
nent since 1860. rom 1857 to 1868 he
was member Of the federal council,
from the canton Of Berne, and il 1862 be,

minister of the interior in 1891 and was
vice president during 1892. He is tall,
broad shouldered, well made. man of .ex-
cellent education, and he has a high rep
utation throughout Switzerland as a pub
lie speaker His home is at Berne, where
he is now living with his second wife.
= The president and vice president are
really only first and second presiding
officers Of the national cabinet, body
which, with these two officers, numbers
seven. They are chosen late in Decem-
ber Of each year by the two houses of
congress and take Office on the list of
January to serve for one year. The 9th
5er members Of the bundesrath serve
three years. The houses of congress are
the senate, Of fOrty-four members, and
the house of representatives, of lat mem
bers. The Swiss call the two houses han
rath, or national council, and the two To-
gether are called Notwithstanding,
or federal assembly.
I The president of the Swiss confedera-
tion has neither great power nor much
patronage. He must sign all bills passed,
but he cannot veto measure. Few ap-
pointments are in. his hands, and his
salary is under $4,000 year. That of
the vice president, as Of the other mem
bers Of the bundesrath, is about s2, 400
year. The president may not serve for
two consecutive terms. He may not in
terfere with the affairs of the Individual
cantons, each of which has its own gov
einor and legislature, like the states of
r1J
ernment building at Berne for the meet
ings Of the two legislative houses, but
no residence is provided for the presi-
dent. So simple are all the federal
affairs of Switzerland that there is
scarcely any formality when the presi-
dent assumes office. He merely takes
the oath at the meeting of the seven
ministers, and there is no excitement
and little interest at the advent of new
administration.

Caused by Change of Fare.

The 'befoh de wah" colored man was
noted for the brilliant whiteness of his
teeth, a quality which is not inherited
by his descendants Of the present day.
Nowadays the teeth Of the negroes do
not seem to be nearly SO good as those of
his brother. The reason is to be found
in the change OF food. The slaves had
plenty to eat, but the food given them
was Of the simplest kind. Pork, meal,
potatoes and such vegetables as they
raised themselves formed their bill Of
fare. Now they eat all sorts Of indigest-
ible stuff, outdoing the white people i'll
this direction, showing particular fond
ness for candies and sweet1neats. The
consequence is that in a single genera
ton the ivory teeth of the slave have
given place to the decayed fangs Of the
freedman,

zen he was. He took especial interest in
educational matters, and though little
was said about it while he lived it now
appears that in proportion to his means
he was very liberal. His name, there
fore, is now honored by his neighbors by
being bestowed on various institutions,
and Curtis Memorial hall is to be
erected.
A public school in West New Brighton
is known as the Curtis school. The
Staten Island academy, founded in 1884,
was another object of interest to Mr..
Curtis, and as it has outgrown its present
and original quarters at Stapleton a
new building is to be erected, and the
memorial hall will be in connection with
this. The building is to be at New
Brighton, the central point for the east
and north shores of the island, and is to
be fashioned after the Tudor style, the
schoolrooms occupying the central or
main portion, which is to be hanked by
projecting wings.
The west wing constitutes a large "
ceun hall, and this is to DO the Curtis
Memorial hall. It opens into the main
schoolroom by doors which can be closed
to exclude all noise when the hall is
needed for other purposes, and has also
two outside entrances. The plans indi-
cate that it will be very complete af-
fair, containing stage, dressing and recep-
tion rooms and large seating capacity,
includinga a balcony ON three sides. In the
basement will be q gymnasium and rec
reation room for the boys, with cloak
and toilet rooms.
The opposite wing is to be used for the
Arthur Winter Memorial library, which
was founded in 1886 by Mr.. William
Winter, the poet and scholar, and his
wife in memory Of their son Arthur.
Mr.. Winter is president of the board of
trustees of the academy, and was the
close associate and personal friend for
many years of Mr.. Curtis, which makes
this conjunction especially appropriate.
Thus the entire structure will in time
comprise memorial to Mr. Winter as
well as to Mr.. Curtis and an academy i'll
which both were interested

WROTE WAR SONGS.
TWO POETS WHOSE FAME WILL EN-
DuRE FOR AGES.

Father Ryan Was u Champion of the Com
federacy, and julia Ward Howe Is the
Author vi the Battle Hymn of tho Re
: public.'
The faithful priest and ardent Virgin
ian, Father Abra1n Joseph Ryan, was
but forty-six years old at death, yet
measuring time by its experiences he
may be said to have lived two ordinary
lives. He was in way dedicated to the
priesthood from his birth, for his mother
was q woman Of the most devoted piety,
and even in his boyhood daysi in N orfolk,
Va, he showed marked tendency to
the study and contemplation of divine
things. He had, however, scarcely com
pleted his preliminary studies and been
ordained to the priesthood when the civil
war began, and he and his brother David
were soon in the Confederate camp shar-
ing in all the hardships Of the soldier.
What a strange contrast does the life
of Julia Ward Howe present! At first
view it would seem that the supposed
or conventional mentality of sex had
been reversed; that the man was all fer
vent emotion and sentiment, the woman
all hard, cold logic. She WAS from the
start Unitarian, he Catholic; she the
daughter Of a we'll to do banker and a
cultured wife, reared in comparative

the entire history and progress of

mechanic arts of the successive eras.
The Northern museum of Sweden will

trate the country's progress, and there
will be fine display Of the present min
ing, manufacturing, dairying and other
products. Sweden will make no exhibit
in the line of fisheries, leaving that en-
tirely to Norway. Thus all the pursuits
of the Scandinavian kingdom will be
well represented.

The death Of Jay Gould and publica-
ton of his will and the real facts us to
his fortune have given renewed impetus
to the discussion on great American for
tunes and the rights of the public to-
ward them. The discussion has of late
grown very heated and bids fair to be-
come acrimonious. The New York Trib-
une had its agents and correspondents
make careful count. and published a
list showing over 1000 million;ires in the
United States, Of whom 1.147 live in
New York city and its suburbs. Putting
their wealth at the lowest estimate. these
4.000 men own one-fourth of all the prop
erty in the country.

McReynolds' efforts acquitted. He took
an early and active interest in politics.
In 1887 he was elected an alderman in
Detroit, and two years later was one of
the delegates to the national convention
in Harrisburg which nominated William
Henry Harrison, grandfather of the pres
ent occupant Of the White House, and he
is probably the only survivor of that con-
vention, of which Horace Greeley and
Historian Bancroft We're also members.
When the Toledo war broke out-a dis
pute between Michigan and Ohio over
boundary lines-McReynolds marched to
the seat of war as a major and then
marched home again, as did the belliger-
ents on both sides, without firing gun.

services at Gettysburg. After peace had
been declared he returned to Michigan.
He continued in active practice Of his
