DEVOTION OF A HUSBAND.
Untimely End OF DIR. Dokitsch, President
of King AIexapder's Ministry


Deep and widespread is the regret in
Seryia at the untimely death of DIR. Do
kitsch, the young president of the min.
istry under King Alexander after his
recent assumption of full power. II was
heroic death, however, for DIR. Do
kitsch, whom many of his countryman
considered the most promising man Of
his time, met his end through his devo-
ton to his wife. The romance of his
life had already endeared him to his
people.
When a student few years ago in
Belgrade, Dokitsch, one of the most bril-
liant men at the university, saw girl
pass the house in which he lived. She
was poorly clad, and her appearance
proved that she had come from power
ty stricken home. But the beauty of
her face and her kind eyes impressed the
young man. He learned her name later
and found that she was seamstress,
the main support of her family. De
spite their difference in rank he fell
deeply in love with the girl and asked
her to be his wife. Soon after his grad
uation he became professor of law at the
university and prominent in politics,
and then led her to the altar.
But the young wife was already af-
| tlicted with consumption, and the disease
soon made rapid progress. Naturally of
melancholy disposition, she became
Respondent. Then came the hope in
spring message from Berlin that Profess
or Robert Koch had discovered cure for
| tuberculosis. DR.. Dokitsch endeavored
to induce his wife to go to the German
capital, but the young woman was con-
WINGED that her case was hopeless and
declined to carry out his wishes. He
tried to raise her spirits and prove that
her condition was not dangerous. He
gave up his work, spent almost every
moment of his time with her, drank
from her glass and tried in other ways
to convince her that he had no fear of
her life or the disease The Koch cure
was tried, but in vain, and Nine. Do
kitsch died.
The coup d'etat came and the professor
was summoned to the highest office I'M
der the young King Alexander. But he
had contracted consumption by his de-
yotion to his wife, and his constitution
was undermined. A few months ago he
had become SO weak that he was COM
PEELED to resign, much to the regret of
his king He sought relief in vain, and II
few days ago the people of Belgrade heard
with sorrow that he was dead The
cause of his untimely end was known
and hundreds Of people who never knew
him in life followed him to the grave

President Cleyeland's administration
The Administration is discrediJed, and
Cleveland's party friends say openly
they have had enough of him. and to
a tempt to carry him further would be
fatal to the party, even if air, ady he
had not dealt it fatal blows. Never be-
for" has the inherent weakness of the
Administration been so much felt and
deplored by democrats, in and out of
Congress, as now Its financial policy,
or rather no-polcy, and above all its
Policy of lntamS, and the absence of
anything to cling to AS worthy of praise
these are things of which democrats
speak in sorrow and humiliation as they

"Nhat situation politically is shown

lacks the support of its party in Con-

The wild speed of the Brooklyn trolley
traction system is beginning to pinch
where it hurts-in the pockets of CAPT
talists. 1t is cutting down the profits
and even draining the surplus of the
Brooklyn Elevated Railway company.
AT the annual meeting of the stock
holders of that elevated railway compa-
ny its president, Mr.. Adolph Ladenburg.
told a heartrending tale us to the ruth
lessness of the aggressions of the trolley
upou the innocent and long suffering
capitalist The elevated road, with three
more miles in operation, has carried
$50, 600 fewer passengers in 1898 than in
1892. Its surplus has diminished from
$195, 295 to Sis, $50.
why" eXclaims President Laden
burg, "should carriage coming faster
than six miles an hour be stopped and Il
street car be allowed to run at 10 miles
an hour legally and Is miles per hour ac-
tually?'
Why, to hs sure2
This is question which the public
may now reiterate.
The Brooklyn public has too patiently
seen its first citizens, its firstborn babes,
its gentle old ladies and its children with
dolls or other toys in their grasp felled
and crushed ont of life by the reckless
speed of the surface trolley cars. Now
that it finds this speed a menace to the
solvency of corporations and to the diyi-
dends of capitalists, it possibly may be
aroused to some effective action. New

The efforts of President Cleveland and

continue. The ''insulting'; letter of

spracy' of Minister Stevens. This IIa-

of before. 1t is known to be made up
chiefly of the eotelie which formerly en-

how can the thing ever become law =:
Mr. Cleveland has practically said he
will veto an income tax, and rle people
who are against the bill in congress are
therefore going to vote to put it on.
Now, we make u prediction. The re-
publcans in congress can not afford to
vote for an income tax, and by doing So
defeat the Wilson bill. If they do, they
will get the democrats out of the biggest
hole they have ever been in, and put,
them in position to make far better

not afford to vote for the income tax any
way, unless they are 3, illing to make it
