HERMIT SINGER OF THE DRACII
ENFELS.

Thousands of Americans who have
climbed to the summit of the famous
DrachenfelS to behold the beauties Of
the valley Of the Rhine may hear with
regret of the death of ''The Singer of
the Drachenfels." The ancient bard
in his fantastic costume, with his
thick, long silver hair failing upon his
shoulders and the flowing white beard
seemed wanderer from the ''minne
singer" days, and in strange keeping
with the rugged mountain whose
beauties. history and romance he
sounded. Ludwig, Eber, to give him
his real, rather prosaic, name, was a
tenor singer of prominence so long ago
that few remember the time. But he
grew weary of the world, and built
his hermit hut on the summit of The
celebrated mountain. There at certain
times each evening, he sang "of the
Drachenfels," and reaped a rich harvest
from the people who heard him. Even
to the last his voice was clear, SYM
pathetic and strong, the result no doubt
Of his mode of life. But he is dead,
and the Drachenfels has lost one Of
its attractions.

ing Milwaukee.

case of John =. kOetting, the Mlwau
kee bank cashier, was this morning
continued until next Wednesday,, bond
being fixed at 5000, which the pris-
oner has as yet been unable to Sc
cure

embezzler. His lawyer says the rea-
son his client does not want to go back
to Milwaukee is because he is afraid
of being lynched. Koetting says he
took but S4OO from the bank when he
left, and that the bank owed him $500.
He denies having taken away the
banks ledger AS to the trust funds
left in his care he said they We're ac-
counted for in the books, and if any

FATHER CHINIQUY AT EIGHTY
-FOUR.

At the age of eighty-four Father
Chiniquy, who created such a sensa-
ten some years ago by leaving the
Roman Catholic for the Protestant
church, is still remarkably active and
jealous. OF late years he has ceased
to be the object of adherence he was
to Roman Catholics for a long time
after his change Of faith. The fact
that his home is now in Montreal and
that to a great extent he is kindly
received by all persons is a striking
proof of the growth of federation. His
zeal will not allow him to take much
rest, though he was Il few months
ago reported at deaths door he is
now on a 1ecturing tour through
Prince Edward Island.
