that one of Emperor Williams Ambassadors
was forced resign his post because he persisted
in his intention Of marrying foreigner after the
consent Of his Government had been refused.
The reason for this is that an Amhassadress
necessarily exercises an influence over her hus-
band and also 10 a great extent Is called upon
TO share his official secrets-secrets of such i'm
pOrtgnce ofttmes that he does not even dare to
communicate them to the members OF his STAFF.
know that this question as to whether an Am
bassador should impdrt State and official secrets
to his wife constitutes a subject Of much con-
troversy and discussion. But the consensus Of
opinion Of those best authorized to express their
sentiments upon the matter is TO the effect that
the wife ought to be cognizant Of her husband
aims and projects. TO be in position to
know when to speak and when to be silent
Otherwise she necessarily walks in the dark and
might, even though exercising the greatest care
and discretion. interfere with some of the most
cherished and carefully elaborated plans OF heT
husband and Of his government.
Ambassadresses have enjoyed in the past and
still retain many curious prerogatives and prv-
leges. Thus. for instance when they give birth

A Treasure Prove.

Young Henry Miller, of New
York, got q bonaza when he was
paid off the other day. His
wages were given him in the shape
of eight new SIS bills. He put
them in his pocket, and sometime
afterward when he took them out
to examine them, he discovered
that two of them were exactly
alike. The numbers of both were
the same. This gives them great
value from a collectors point of
view. The bills were printed by
the government and issued by the
Southern National Bank of New
York. The government number
on each is r. 576,321. The bank
number is 1859 and the consecu-
tive bank number is 1888.
When the exact similarity of the
bills were noticed it was supposed
that one of them was q counter
felt. Close examination showed
it was not. The signatures on
both bills are genuine. Plainly
there was an error. Mr.. Miller
says that several banks have Of
fered him large sum of money
for the bills, and that the South
ern National Bank told him he
could fix his own price and they
would purchase. He says he will
hold the bills.-Picaynne.

The social Of the Jasper knights
Of Pythias at their castle hall on
Friday night last was a decided sue
cess. Just enough guests had been
invited to enjoy the hospitality OF
the Knights to comfortably be ac-
commodated in the Hall.
The evening was pleasantly spent
i'm listening to some short and ex-
cellent addresses by members, and
good music and singing by choir,
and then the company was invited
to surround the tables, which were
laden with splendid cakes, fruits
and candies, and then all were
served ice cream and lemonade till
ability to contain more ceased.
The first address Of welcome t.
the guests was by Sir Knight NJ. A
Sweeney, and was an eloquent trib'
ute to the blessings diffuscd to al
bv the observance Of the rule o.
Knighthood - Friendship, Chart,
and Bcnevolcnce. After music
Sir Knight w. +. Cox read an adj
dress on the principles Of the
Knights Of Pythias, and its benefits
to members. Then came some
patriotic music followed by a writ
ten address by Sir knight X. M
Milbum on Secret Societies, thei
benefits, proper sphere and limita
tons, followed by several songs b.
the choir.
Castle Hall was handsomely dec
Grated with emblematic pictures

The feast of Pentecost was sol
EMMY celebrated at the st. Joseph !
church of Jasper. High mass was
sung by the Rev. +. Martin, and
the sermon preached by the Rev.
Fidelis Maute.
On this occasion the choir pro-
duced, for the first time in its his
tory, a four-voiced mass with or
chestral accompaniment, under the
direction of Rev. Bernard, O. S. b.
This mass was composed by j. G..
Zangl, in honor Of the jubilee OF
Pope Leo Nil, and is strictly Co.
celian in character. There is moth
ing operate about the composition
it is fervent prayer that pro-
ceeded from the pious soul Of the
author. Its rendition (taken as a
whole) was one Of marked excel
lence, and deserving of great praise
considering the short time Of five
weeks that was allotted to its study.
The soprano solos were exquisitely
executed by Miss Flora Vollmer,
the alto by Miss Name Haller, the
tenor by Mr.. John Sermersheim,
and the bass by Mr.. VIM. Schuler.
At the Offcrtory was sung a "Veni
Creator" for soprano solo and cho-
rus with orchestra, composed by the
late Rev. Anselm Meier, o. $. b.
The solo was beautifully rendered
by Miss Flora Vollmer. The i'm
pressive and devotional manner in
which the soloist interpreted the
feelings of the composer was greatly
appreciated by the large assembly
of worshippers.
May this not be the last time that
Gods praises be sounded forth in
this solemn manner, but may the
choir, in conjunction with the or
chestra, continue the excellent
work it has so nobly commenced
and not be dispirited by the shall
low and ungrounded opinions Of in
experienced critics.

Died, May 18th, "a. at his home
in Hall township, John Wesley
Jacobs, one Of the Oldest residents
in this part Of the county, Of paraly-
sis, ags d nearly seventy-two years.
The deceased was the last survivor
of the older Jacobs who settled in
this region many years ago, and Of
that hardy element known as pio-
neers. As a citizen "Uncle Yves"
was one Of the most respected and
beloved, honored and esteemed in
the neighborhood. As christian,
he was a member Of the NJ. +.
church and local minister Of that
denomination.
The deceased was a Union veteran
in the late rebellion, and a staunch
supporter of the Union. The burial
took place in the Jacobs grave
ward. His widow, two sons and one
daughter survive him.

@Some of the Democratic pa.
pers are putting all the blame on
U. s. Senators for not passing a ia
riff-reform bill, and calling them
traitors to the party. There can be
no doubt that the millionaire Sen.
ators never expected to stand up to
the platform on silver or tariff. But
neither did President Cleveland.
Who doubts that If the President
had brought the same executive
pressure to bear to secure the fulfill
ment Of pledges as TO the tariff that
he did to secure the violation OF
them as to silver, that tariff reform
bill would have passed at the extra
session? Cleveland is as much 10
blame as Hill for the demoraliza-
ton Of the Democrats, and their
recreancy to the Chicago platform.
He puts in his time fishing, and
says not word officially about ia
riff reform. His famous message
that beat the party in 1888, and
Hills declaration ~ am Demo-
crat," were each intended only for
self laudation, and without any hon
esty in either author.

~Hon. A. II. Taylor was unan-
imously nominated for Congress by
the Democratic Congressional con-
vention Of the first district at Rock
port Thursday. He has made one
of the most efficient members Of
the present Congress, and will be
reelected by larger majority than
he received two years ago. He has
shown himself friend Of the Com

grasp Of the millionaires, who are
now trying vainly to choke it to
death, he will be able to use his
abilities more efficiently for their
