cent accusations that the counts father. the
late Count Harry Won Arnim prostituted his
official duty at the Paris embassy to Bourse

Blum made the accusatio in his "Germa-
ny in the Times of Bismarck" published to
a certain extent under the old chancellor
patronage.
On December 8 Count Won Arnim wrote a
letter to Bismarck which is published in the
newspapers in Berlin, demanding that he re-
tact within eight days the statement that
Count Harry Won Arnim delayed the pay
ment Of the French war indemnity in 1873
so as to give himself and Baron Hirsch a
good chance for speculation"
Count Won Arnim narrates thus the events
which, he says, Prince Bismarck has allow
ed to be distorted and made the basis of an
Infamous accuse ton
In 1873 Marshal Won Manteuffel was al

with Baron st. Waller, the French dplo-
fist, independently of everything else,
despite the fact that Count Harry Won Ar

Cooking Matches.

From the New York Times
over in London they have annual cook

seems to be the cooking matches. These

demeanor necessary to the successful cook
One participant chopped her finger instead
of mushroom. forcing her retirement,
and another made rice cakes out of barley
which also proved disastrous; a third un-
fortunate girl got nearer the goal than
either, for she actually drew from the oven

been a prize winner. from the perfection
of its appearance and the goodness of its
smell. but which, alas, in the trembling

The fact that cooking is an art in which
all may not succeed alike was demonstrate
ed in the competition, for a valuable prize,
of eight novices. Each was provided with
Identical materials, and all. apparently, fol-
lowed the same methods Of preparation, yet
when the eight meat pies were set forth
one two were simply knife proof, others
had tender flaky crusts, and the prize WIN
ner was all that the most ambitious meat
pie could dream of being.

Gently brought the news that the two
young Swedish naturalists, Bjorling and

Cary Islands in August, 1892. had started
for Ellesmere land, and that Mr.. Stein of
the United States geological survey, who

would make 1t his first duty to search for
the lost scientists For this purpose he
communicated with Baron Adolf Erik
Nordenskiold of Stockholm, Sweden, to

addressed. Yesterday Mr. Stein received
the following cablegram:

Baron Nordenskiold is one of the fore

In the steamer Vega to follow the north
coast of Asia eastward through the Arctic
ocean This he accomplished with unex-
ampled rapidity arriving almost within
sight Of Boring strait in September of the
same year. In the following year he passed
through that strait and returned home by
way OF Japan, being thus the first to cir
cumnavigate Asia, a feat perhaps without
parallel in Arctic history. Mr.. Stein has

Virginia Barred Against Them.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In one of your recent issues 1t was stated
that If the decision of the courts Of the
District of Columbia was adverse to Enge-
man ct al, the proprietors of the Ivy City
race track, they would move in Virginia
and secure the Gentlemens Driving As
ISOLATION in Alexandria county. 1t is true
that there is no Virginia law prohibiting
horse racing in its general form, but there
is a sweeping statute against betting or
the selling of books or pools on the result
of any trottihg or running race of horses
in Virginia. The legislature of that state
passed an act February %, 1885, which
says:
O. BE it enacted by the general assem-
bly, of Virginia that it shall be unlawful
for any person or persons or associations
Of persons to make, write sell books,
pools or mutuals on the result of any trot-
ting race or running race of horses, or race
of any kind, or any base ball match, or any
election, or contest Of any kind, or to es-
tablish. keep, lease, rent or use, or know
ingly suffer to be used or occupied any
house, building or portion of building
vessel or place on land or water for the
purpose of making, writing or selling there
in any book, or pool, or mutual, or Of other
wise betting or gambling, or of permitting
gambling or betting therein or thereon, upon
the result of any trotting race, running
race of horses, or race of any kind, or any
base ball match, or any election or contest
of any kind.
(2. THAT any person or associate Of
persons violating the provisions of this
act shall be fined not less than 500 nor
more than $500, one-fourth of which shall
be paid to the informer, and be imprisoned
not less than thirty days nor more than
ninety days"
In my humble judgment, Engeman and his
associates will have to go elsewhere besides
Virginia if the decisions are against him in
the District of Columbia.

Secure Large Profits.
From the New York Evening Post
In a recent report on German labor uues-
lions Mr.. Bragg gives some facts concern
ing the way in which public works are man.
aged to the public profit. OF the forty-four
largest towns in Germany Twenty-Five own
their own gas works. The largest of these
measured by the amount of gas produced,
are the three for the city of Berlin. In
Lelpsic the gas works return an annual
sum of over 1,OOO,OO marks (SlsO OUD, while
IN Breslau the net profit is 4l6,S35 marks
GlOOWW. Berlin is especially remarka HE
for the extent of its municipal industries
and the financial results which 1t achieves
As early as 1S4I the city began to establish
It's own gas works, and for a time used all
the surplus proceeds for their extension
In 1858, when the municipal funds showed
a deficit of about 3WO,0O marks the sur
plus income of the gas works was paid into
the treasury. The practice has since been
continued and the sum thus paid over rose
from S63,235 marks in 1868 to 2,s2. 5sp4 in
1874 and 5,32O.54O in 1S9l-92 In 1873 the

amount used rather than in proportion to
the rental of the property. In ISgl-B2 the
water works showed a surplus of S,6 n5f;

poses. A like advantageous result of mu
nic1pal management appears in the financial
returns of the various markets On the
other hand, the drainage works required a
subsidy from the municipal revenue of
z'hZ e69 marks. Berlin has also established
pubic disinfectant house and public baths

travellers, or municipal labor registry on
the ground that this would be to trench on
ground already occupied by private asso-
Citations. Tramways and electric lighting

concession lapses at the end of a given ne

fact that 1 have reported bill carrying

THE SPANISH ANARCHISTS.
Another Arrest Of One Involved In the
Barcelona Theater Explosion.


Spaniard. formerly journalist, who is
believed to have been involved In the Ly-
ceum Theater outrage in Barcelona, was
arrested at Montpelier. France, yesterday.
Four fresh arrests were made last night in
Lyons.
The anarchists Fogas, Codina. Ripoli.
Cerezuela, Bernard, Salvat Archs. Fon-
tanals. Carbonell and Fruitos have been
handed over to a military judge by the
magistrate who has been conducting the
examination into the Lyceum Theater ex-
plosion. The transfer Of the prisoners is
due to a demand made by the military
authorities who are conducting the inquiry
into the recent attempt at Barcelona upon
the life of Gen. Martinez DE Campos on
the ground that the anarchists above named
were accomplices of Pallas. the man who
was shot for throwing the bomb at Gen.
De Campos. The anarchists, who. under a
strong escort, were secretly handed over
to the military authorities, were greatly
surprised and alarmed when they learned
that instead of being tried by the civil
courts they would have to stand trial by
court-martial.
Hitherto they have believed that long
term of penal servitude would be the worst
punishment melted out to them, but now
they fear what is extremely probable that
they will be condemned to be shot. The
residents of the city are certain now that
strict military justice will be expeditiously
meted out to these men, who have gloried
In their crimes when they thought the
civil authorities would ceal with them. 1t
Is the general belief that the prisoners,
some Of whom have confessed that they
singly were responsible for crimes which
it is almost certain they did not commit.
the confessions having undoubtedly been
made for the purpose of confusing the au-
thorities and delaying their trials, will
now deny the truth Of their confessions
and seek by every means in their power
to show that they had nothing to do with
the crimes with which they are charged.
Much satisfaction IL expressed at fhe
action of the military authorities in de-
handing the prisoners. and equal satisfac-
ton is expressed that the civil authori-
ties SO readily gave them up As is said
by many persons, they will now get more
justice than law.

A Curiosity of the LAW,

Interview with a st. Louis Lawyer.
Additions to rented premises, when made
by the tenant. should never be fastened
with nails, but with screws. The reason
for this lies in the fact that should he wish
to move away and take with him the boards
and other lumber composing the improve
ments he has made, he can simply draw
out the screws and take the planks. If he
fastens them with nails, however. he can
remove nothing, and the improvements be-
come the landlords property. The fact re-
suits from a legal bubble. insisting that
articles fastened with screws are for tenn
porary use. and if put in place by the ten
ant are his own property.
