CAPRiVI THE SOLDIER.
His Devotion to Duty-His Army Corps
His Inspiration.

Ii is doubtful whether Won Caprivi
would give up the chancellorship with
any deep regret for the office. Shortly
after his appointment as Prince Bis
marck's successor, he remarked to a
friend: at is only because | am SOL
der, and because it is nv duty to obey
my superior officer, that am chancel-
lor of the empire to-day" Duty i'm
presses one as being the keynote of
his character, while his inspiration
was his army corps, says the n. Y.
Tribune In reply to congratulations
upon MS maiden speech in the Reichs-
tag, he said: But a soldier is not an
orator. Have you ever thought of the
three men in the world who most must
move the hearts and emotions of their
fllowmen-the preacher. the poet
and the soldier? To the preacher and
the poet are given ali the wealth and
power of language; but the soldier, he
who must move men to the death be-
fore them, has naught but the words
of command" As he spoke his whole
face was lighted with an enthusiasm
that made it easy to recognize how
such a soldier-leader could inspire his
regiments.
At the beginning of his chancellor
ship he spoke very little English, but
read it with ease, being especially
fond of George Eliot's novels BUYS
as have been his three years in Office
he has found time TO devote to the
practice of speaking English, and has
made decided progress. His knowl-
edge Of foreign lands has been gained
from books, from men and from a
stern experience.
Once at dinner when the subject
of uniforms was being discussed, he
said; "Since taking off my little black
confirmation coat | have worn no other
but that of my uniform, save on one
occasion, when | was hidden TO a hunt
by the old emperor"
when travelling in foreign lands,
though, how could you have worn
your uniform?" questioned his neigh
Dor at table.
With quiet smile he answered.:
-Four times in my life have | been out
of Germany. Once went to Italy on
a special mission when nv uniform
was required; once / was summoned
to the deathbed of friend in Switzer-
land, and, having no other clothes, was
given permission to wear my uniform.
Once | went into Austria and once |
went into France-but those were
days when uniforms were not left be-
hind"
Caprivi is not a Bismarck, but in
spite of the overshadowing fame of his
great predecessor he has filled the of
flee with strength and ability. Ger
many may well be proud of such a
man, whose honesty of purpose none
could doubt, whose mbition was for
his country only, and whose untiring
effort has always been to give her
faithful service

AS TO THE ORIGIN OF ANTHRACITE.
Probable solution of One of the Long
Standing Mysteries of Science.

The main difference between an
thracite and bituminous coal is that
the former is devoid of volatile matter.
Heretofore the theory generally ac-
cepted to account for this difference
was that presented half century ago
by Prof. Rogers, while conducting the
first geological survey of Pennsylvania.
Observing that the anthracite beds lay
III the eastern part of the Stase, in
close proximity to the Archean axis of
elevation, he surmised that these coal
beds had, so to speak, been cooked"
upon the elevation Of the Appalachian
chain; that IS he supposed tnat the
heat and pressure accompanying the
Appalachian elevation. acting most
vigorously near the axis, had distilled
and removed the volatile matter of the
coal-bedS nearest it.
TO adjust the theory to increasing
facts, Prof. Lesley added the SUPPOSE
tion that the heat involved in this theo-
~ was brought up by cOnductiOn when
the superintendent layers of rock were
extremely thick, which have since
been mainly removed by the erosive
agencies which have been active over
the region for millions of years.
The inadequacy of these theories has
led Prof. j. j. Stevenson of the Uni
vesity of New York to PROFOUND an
other and simpler theory. which was
ably defended by him at the receut
meetin.of the Geological Society Of
America.
He would account for the lack Of
volati-2 matter in anthracite coal by
the simple fact that it had been longer
exposed to that kind of decay which
takes place in vegetable matter when
immersed in water; and which con-
sists chiefly in the loss of the hydro
carbons which constitute the volatile
elemenents in bitdminous coal. On
this suppOsition the anthracite beds are
those which We're formed earlier in the
swamps and lagoons of the carboni-
ferrous period and remained longest
devoid Of the covering of sedimentary
deposits which subsequently preserved
them from further change.
This theory is confirmed by the fact
that there is no such strict relation of
the anthracite beds to the Appalachion
axis of elevation as Prof. Rogers had
supposed, and Gy many other oousid-
eratiOns which Prof. Stevenson is bout
to publish. This simple cause seems
adequate to account for all the phe-
nomena, and probably solves one of the
long-standing mysteries of geological
science.

Before Judge Archald yesterday testi-

have Maud Carey, now an inmate OF the
Home for the Friendless, committed to the
House Of Refuge.
The child's parents are said to be worth
less people and sometime ago the girl,
who is but z years Of age, was received
with her brother from the North Abing-
ton poor district, by the authorities of
which they had been supported for some
time prior.
The girl is a confirmed victim to a dis
gusting habit, which all corrective efforts,
medical and moral, have failed to wean
her from.
Fearing that she may contaminate the
children, with whom she 10 thrown in con-
tact, the managers tof the home want to
have her removed to the House of Refuge,
to which institution she now properly be-
longs.
The treatment and discipline she will
there receive may have the effect Of cur
ing her. An order has not yet been made

ALARM FRIGHTENED GORDON.
He Jumped on His Clock to Drive Out
Evil Spirits.

IVA
Charles Gordon, of Benton, came to the
city Thursday to see the circus and have a
good time generally. The steady down
pour Of rain affected Mr.. Gordon's spirits
to such an extent that he found it neces-
sary to resort to stimulants to revive them.
After getting thoroughly wet on the in
side it occurred to Mr.. Gordon that it
would be an excellent idea to combine
business with pleasure and he entered q
Lackawanna avenue store and purchased
asmall clock.
1t was Of the alarm variety but Mr.. Cor
don was innocent of that fact until he
reached the street when the alarm began
to ring. Filled with terror at the uncanny
noise that proceeded from his parcel he
dashed the clock to the sidewalk and
jumped upon it again and again to drive
out the evil spirits he was convinced in
tested it.
When the time piece had been demolish-
ed Mr.. Gordon began to yell and was
taken into custody by a police officer. He
expressed a desire to treat the officer as he
did the clock and yesterday Alderman
Fuller in police court sentenced him to
twenty days in the county Jail for his dis
orderly conduct.
Several alarm clocks will be placed in
his cell 80 that he may become familiar
with them before he is released.
