IT IS COMING. Seven Good Years After
 Seven Bad Ones. The New Year Brings Hope to Germany. Disgraceful Career of Princess Elizabeth and Her Lover. They are Not Married, but Steps Have Been Taken to Have the
 Ceremony Performed.
Copyrighted 1898, by the Associated Press,

Copyrighted 1898, by the Associated Press. BERLIN, Dee. 30.-The conservatives are increasing their attacks upon the government, the latest form being a crusade led by Hammerstein in the Kreutz Zeitung, insinuating that there is misunderstanding between Csprivi and the Prussian ministers.
 The Associated Press is in position to state that there is not the slightest foundation for these reports connecting the chancellor with the crisis. Caprlvi is frmer in office today than ever be- fore. He has the perfect confidence of Emperor William, while the alleged friction said to exist between Caprivi and Eulenb burg are pure fabrications. Business has been satisfactory in Ger many during the latter half of Decem- Der. The impression prevails that seven meagre years are ended and better times are coming with the new year.
 There have been 220 deaths from in- fuenza during the past six weeks, the sickness being more virulent than ever before and not yet diminishing.
 1 Notifications of the commercial treaty with Servia were exchanged today at the foreign offices. The treaty will come in force January l. The Roumanian treaty comes into operation on the same date, but is subject to approval of the Roumanian chambers.
 The Cameron mutinv has led to a renewal of warning voices against further extension of German colonial enterprise. The Vossische Zeitung at tributes the condition of Germany to iucompetency of the government of
 icials and declares neither Governor Zimmerer or his su ubordinates are fitted to administer an African colony and claiming that capable men like Wiss- man and Elin have been replaced by | bureaucrats.
 | The Germania yesterday published the fact that Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Siegfried were not married in order to stop false reports in the in- terests of the Catholic church, Siegfried being Protestant. The Germania wants to impress the people with the fact that marriage is impossible unless all the conditions of the church for mixed marriages are fulfilled explicitly. The parents of the princess finding she was infatuated and had escaped and made the Tyrolese trip with her lover, invented the story of the marriage, for which steps have only just been taken.

His Attorneys Say That He Will Not Hang for Year Yet-Made
 Fatal Mistake.

By the Associated PresS.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Attorney Wade for the condemned man, Prendergast, says there is no possibility of final decision being reached inside year. That an attempt will be made to get a new trial and if this fails the case will be appealed to the supreme court.
 John Prendergast, the assassin s brother, says the attorneys for the de- fense made fatal mistake in refusing to accept the states offer of compro- mise on life imprisonment. "I've been told," said the brother, "that one of jurors made the remark when sum- moned that he would hang the miser. able cur. I hope new trial will be granted"
 Extra precautions have been taken at the jail to prevent suicide.

ANOTHER sNAG.
President Cleveland is Said to Oppose the
Income Tax Proposition of the Way
and Means Committee.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 25.-A Washington
special says: 1t is rumored here that
President Cleveland has conveyed to
the members of the way s and means
committee in a quiet but nevert heless
emphatic manner his decided ojection
to the income tax proposition IN any
shape, and the further fact that it will
not meet with his approval. He is
particularly desirous that the propo-
sition shall not be made part of the
tariff bill, but that if the committee
is bound to report it that it be put IN
the form of a separate bill, so that il
may be considered and disposed OF
as separate issue.
A special to the Dispatch says there
will be three reports from the ways
and means committee on the tariff
one from the Republicans and TO
from the Democrats.

Electrical Photography.

A college professor has hit upon a
means of making pictures of old
coins and similar objects electrically.
The coin, medal or engraved plate of
which figure is required is made to
form one of the metallic coatings of
an electrical condenser, a photo
graphic plate or piece of bromide pa

When a condenser so arranged Is
subjected to rapid charge for frac-
ton of a second by connecting the
coatings with the terminals of an in
duction coil or a similar source of
electricity, the prepared surface Of
the dry plate is chemically altered,
and upon developing the plate in the
usual manner picture of the coin
or medal will be found upon it. Pic

THE DOG DIDN'T FORGET HIS PART.


A Book Agent Found This Out at the Cost
offs Quarter.
Theman was book agent. There
was no use denying that. Any per-
son in his right mind would have
known that he was a book agent.
His trousers were frayed out at the
bottom; his hat was knocked in at
the top, and his general appearance
savored of many miles walked and
few shekels gathered.
He ambled along the deserted
street few rods and then stopped
undecidedly before the gate of a
yard which surrounded a small cot
tage house. He was weighing in his
mind the probability of a sale. Before
he concluded to enter the yard saw
age looking hound put in an appear
ance on the inside of the fence and
made frantic efforts to reach the book
agents trousers through the palings.
Not succeeding in this diversion, the
dog sat down to await the time.when
the man should open the gate and
enter the yard.
The book agent had made up his
mind that he could sell an 'Autobi-
ography" if he could but reach the
front steps of the house. But the dog
was determined that the agent should
not reach the front steps under any
condition. Good doggy" and Mice
fellow" failed to make the least i'm
preston ON the canine. He only
howled defiantly ON his side of the
fence. His howls brought a man
from around the corner of the next
house. He was an exceedingly lean
and hungry appearing man. He
took in the situation at a glance and
came over to where the book agent
was vainly endeavoring to conciliate
the dog. He thrust both his hands
deep into his empty pockets and
drawled out:
Fer a quarter I'll call off the dog.
The book man must have thought
that the chances of sale at that par
ticular house were extra good, for he
drew out the fourth part of a dollar
and handed it the stranger. That in
dividual carefully sounded it on his
teeth, and being convinced of its gen.
uineness he dropped it into his ca
pacious pocket.
Then drawing his slouch hat down
over his eyes and turning up his coat
collar, he assumed a highly dramatic
attitude, and in stentorian tones he
hissed forth: ''Tige, Tige, l say.
Thou coward and thou brute
know'st thou that thy master lies
captive in yonder wood, and dosi
thou inger here2 Begonel Be
gon-n-n-e, sayl"
The dog glanced up with a hall
curious look, and then turned shame
facedly away. and putting his moss
to the ground he skunk quickly from
sight.
"Yer see, pardner, explained the
hungry looking man, that dog an
use ter play in high tragedy, an ht
amt fergot his cue yet. An, by the
way, don't believe yern sell bool
in that house, cuz the folks has gons
off today on a family picnic. They

UNCLE JERRY DEAD.
A Brief Outline of His Career From Stage
Driver to Governor.

VIRooUA, Wis, Nov. 21.-Uncle
Jerry Rusk, ex-secretary OF agrlcul-
ture, died this morning at 8 O'Clock.
His death was very sudden, as it was
supposed ten minutes previously that
he was improving. Just before his
dissolution he talked with his watch
ers and appeared to drop into a
peaceful slumber. Death came with
out struggle and with no warning
whatever. A post mortem will be
held to determine the cause of his de-
mise.
jeremiah M. Rusk was born in Nor
gan county, Ohio, 63 years ago and
20 years later removed to Wisconsin,
settling near his present home In what
was then Bad Axe county. Few men
have held so many public offices. Up
to war times he had served in many
local offices. He was a member OF
the assembly in 1862, and during the
summer following was commissioned
major of the 25th Wisconsin regiment,
OF which regiment he afterward became
colonel and at the close OF the war
was commissioned brevet-brigadier
general. In 1867 he was bank
compt roller, and was elected "a MEM
Der of the 42d. 43d and 44th con-
gress; was rendered by President Gar
field the mission to Paraguay and
Uruguay, the mission to Denmark,
and the chief of tine bureau OF engrav
ing and printing, all of which were de-
cIned. He was elected governor OF
Wisconsin in 1881. and served for
three terms, a distinction never ac-
corded to any citizen OF the state,
with the exception OF Gen. Lucius
Fairchild. When Gen. Harrison be-
came president in 1886, he called
Gov. Rusk into his cabinet as secre-
tary of agriculture.
! Gen. Rusk was a man OF powerful
physique, being six feet three inches
tall ard heBvily built. In his earlier
years he was stage driver. He was
a man of abrupt homely speech, but
had a warm heart. He had been a
candidate for mucn higher place
when he was offered the Uruguay
Paraguay mission. He spurned the
proffered positions: "Where in h
is Paraguay? Twill 60 home and run
for governor of Wisconsin" Nobody
ever dreamed when he made the re-
mark that he would get the nomina
ton, but he did get it these times
His action during the Milwaukee labor
riots OF 1886 in ordering out the
militia to fire on the mob, which was
done with fatal effect, increased Gov
Rusk's popularity in the state and
was largely instrumental in his nomI
nation and election for q third tern
as governor.
The funeral of Gen. Rusk was at
tended by great crowds from the sur
rounding country. Ex-President Har
rison, ex-Attorney General Miller
Gov. Peck and all other state officers
were present. Three special trains ar
rived, the one from Chicago havin,
700 persons on board. The Masons
and G. A. r. men were out in full
force.

CHANGERS RED HOT.
The National Society Pays its Respects to
Secretary Morton.

SYRACUSE, n. ", Nov. 23.-In the
National Grange yesterday afternoon
the committee on the good of the
order submitted a report on the Ian
guage used by Secretary of Agriculture
Morton at Chicago. Referring to the
Grange, it is alleged, he condemned
and censured the organization. The
language is characterized as unbecom-
ing a gentleman and a man in high
office and member of the Presidents
cabinet. 1t was resolved, so far as
the Grange is concerned, that there
was not one word of truth in what
the Secretary said; that the Secretary,
by stating untruths had proved HIM
self unworthy OF his position; that
the President owes it to the farmers
of the largest agricultural nation in
the world to appoint a Secretary of
Agriculture in sympathy with them.
The report was adopted and COM
mittee appointed to submit it to
President Cleveland.

CLEVELAND SHOULD ASSIGN.
Senator Cullom Expresses Himself on the
Administration.

In an interview recently Senator
Cullom of Illinois, expressed the opin-
ion that congress on reassembling
would take up the Hawaiian question
in a vigorous way. He said there
would be an early demand for all re-
ports bearing on the question. 81
can han dly say" he continued, "what
congress can do, as the treaty has
been Withdrawn, but there is nothing
to prevent a general expression OF
opinion by congress, and, If in the
meantime it should develop that the
queen has been restored to the throne
by the Intervention of the United
States, there is no telling what might
be done. The country will not toler-
ate the klngly airs assumed by the
present administration. In my opin-
ION its best course Is to go into bank
ruptcy, where, by it's policy, it has
forced so many good men,"

THE GERMAN SOLDIER.
Two objectionable OfIenses In the Germ,
Arpsy Relate to Efficiency.

Two objectionable Onenses In the German
Arpsy Relate to Efficiency.
There are two things which the
German officer does not and cannot
condone-one is nonefficiency of the
soldiers rifle, the other a chafed foot.
If either of these two takes place on
the march OF during the maneuvers,
the soldier is Immediately punished
with arrest and is not allowed to
offer any excuse. During the differ
ent maneuvers of German army
corps that have attended i cannot
recall a handful of footsore men in
the course of days work, and yet
at all these field operations forced
marches are a feature in order to
test the endurance of officers and
men.
The secret of this uniform excel
lence as regards marching powers
lies in the training which the men
receive. When they enter their COM
pany as recruits in October, the first
thing that is impressed upon their
minds is the importance of the shoe
and themusket. Nopains are spared
in giving the men at the start COM
Portable footgear, and they are ex-
pected TO look after this with as
much interest as if it We're a chro-
nometer.
In the spring following, when the
snow is off the ground, marches are
undertaken, and these are regulated
as carefully as are the strokes and
the courses of the college crew un-
der the hands of the trainer. Each
day the men march half a mile or so
farther than the day before; each
day they carry on their back an
ounce or two more; each day the
speed they are able to maintain Is
carefully noted; in fact, the record
of a company's marching from day
to day until late in the summer
when they move into the open coun-
try is kept as minutely as if it were
single picked company training for
a match or competitive drill.
The German soldier is educated
and trained for the purpose of fight
ing, and to have man fall out be-
fore he reaches the fire line is looked
upon as quite as much disaster as
if he had been shot and wounded by
the enemy The art of war, as prac-
ticed in Germany, is very much the
art of getting there" and it is the
general who posts himself most ad,
vantageously at the critical moment
that may be assumed to have won
the battle.-Harper's.

that the ightest whisper must con-

that such is the fact is based all mod

THE ESSENCE OF GOOD BREEDING.
It Consists In Winding Ones Own Busi-
ness and In Self Respect.

1t Consists In mfnd1ng Onc's own Busf-
ness and In Self Respect.
The essence of good breeding is
simplicity-not the simplicity of the
peasant, although that is good in its
way, but the simplicity of the really
civilized man who has arrived at a
kind of artificial naturalness. Treat
ing of style in literature, The Satur-
day Review long ago remarked, 1T
is not given to every one to be sim
ple." This was profound observa-
ton, and it is as true of life as of lit
erature. The natural man has been
fifty described as "a noisy, sensual
savage" Civilization teaches him to
be quiet, to mind his own business,
to refrain from offending or disgust
ing his neighbor, to respect himself,
to stand on his own basis.
Now, if the essence of good breed
ing is simplicity, it may be said that
the essence of yulgarity is a want of
simplicity TO be vulgar is to be un-
quiet, to have no taste of ones own,
to be in continual disturbance on ac-
count of ones neighbor, either by
way of trucking to him. which is the
manner of, the snob, or of hating him,
which is the vice of the radical, or
competing with him, which is the
weakness of the parvenue. To be
vulgar is to adopt other peoples Ian
guage, to use their cant phrases, to
copy the infections of their voices,
to espouse their ideas; in fine, to
think and do and say not what comes
naturally to one, but what is sup
posed to be considered proper by
other people. Thus to be vulgar is
to lack simplicity.
This want of simplicity, this con-
tinual reference to outside standards,
is possible only in a gregarious So
ciety. If man lives in a solitary
place, or alone i'll city, he is forced
back upon himself; the material for
being vulgar does not exist. Apropos
of that most accurately drawn her
oine, Eustacia wye, Thomas Hardy
truly says, 1T is impossible for any
one living on heath to be vulgar.
We associate vulgarity with large
towns, because in the latter only can
that measure of gregariousness OBJ
tain which is essential to the propa-
cation of vulgarity. Vulgarity is a
town growth, just as rusticity is a
country quality.-Atlantic Monthly.

A Partisan Idea

An entirely Partisan idea is the
project to erect in different parts of
Paris statues of the women who have
been reigning beauties in that city,
either in past generations or in the
present. The idea of the protector Is
that beauty should not be the only
consideration in the selection of mod
els, but finish of costume should be
carefully considered" 1t might do
to have annual balls for the selection
of a lady who shall be honored by
the erection of statue at the public
expense. Philadelphia Press
