Kaiser and Monsignor.

In connection with the gift of the
grand cross of the Order of the Crown
by the Emperor William to Mgr. della
Volpe, the grand master of the house
hold of the pope, it was remarked in the
Italian papers that by so doing the en-
peror showed remarkable spirit of for
giveness. On the kaiser's first visit to
the pope he let his helmet fall. Mgr.
della Volpe Immediately stopped to pick
It up. At the same moment the emperor
stopped also, and their heads came in
violent contact, putting the gravity of
all present to a severe test. 1t required
the utmost presence of mind on the part
of Mgr della Volpe to refrain from put
ting his hand to his damaged pate, but
he has not hesitated since to proclaim
the emperor the most hard headed mon
arch in Characterization Globe.

from Wallingford on one electric car.
All the factories in the city resumed oper-
aflons Monday, with fair business out
look. They are all running on the eight
hour schedule. The real estate business is
very dull, as about half of the real estate
sales are to men employed in the shops
and as they have been out of work for some
time 1t has taken all their surplus money
to provide for their families.
The street car horses are being sold, as
electro cars are now running to all parts
OF the city. The prices for these horses
range from one dollar to one hundred dol
lars Ihe markets are good, everything is
abundant, and prices for all kinds of pro
duce are firm. Hay is selling at twenty
two dollars per ton, potatoes one dollar per
bushei' and eggs at forty-five cents per
dozen.

Brother Odd Fellows Intend to Make an
Example of Him.


Example of Him.
PORTLAND Me-, Jan. 24.-Charles Paine
the defaulting financial secretary of the
Odd Fellows, was arrested here late last
night on formal complaint of Eastern
encampment Paine recently left the city,
leaving a shortage of $1,000 in his books,
having been em bezzling from the society
since 1885, During his absence from the
city the Odd Fellows discovered the de-
falcation, but it was generally under
stood that Paine, being an Odd Fellow,
would not be prosecuted. Accordingly
Paine returned to the city last week.
1t is understood that the Eastern en-
campment is following the desire of all
Odd Fellows in the state, and that Paine
will be prosecuted for the moral effect it
will have on financial officers of the order.
Paine is much broken down by his arrest,
which caused tremendous sensation in
the city. and will he surprise t. ODD
Fellows everywhere. He spent the night
