Recolleetlons OF Bl.marel.,s wartIme.


In the columns of The KTeuzzeitung
Herr Andrae, well known Conservative
politician and friend of Prince Bis
marck, gives some interesting recollec-
lions of the period of the war Of 1870.
He says: Bismarck read ON the 9th of
July the speech delivered by the Duke
of Grammont on the 9th. lie was at
dinner and handed the newspaper TO his
wife, with the words; The Duke of
Grammont must have soon got tired OF
his Office. / shall, of course have to ask
for his resignation. Later in the even
ing, while walking in the park at
Varzin and thinking of the matter, the
idea suddenly came TO him, Napoleon
wants war, and GTammont speech was
dictated by him.
"He went to his room, his first thought
being to telegraph to the king, at Ems,
as follows, 1t would be best to mobilize
at once, declare war and attack before
France is prepared. His nerves were
strung to the highest tension, and he
passed a sleepless night Lying awake,
thinking, there crossed his mind the
text, Blessed are the peacemakers, for
they shall be called the children of God.
so that won't do, lie said TO himself.
Then all the political consequences of
his contemplated action became clear to
him, and he ended by casting the first
message aside and telegraphing to King
William simply not to pledge himself to
anything with Benedetti, who, if he be-
came pressing, was to be told, My min

A pitfall for the imprudent dys-
peptic, who has small control over
his other appetite, is drinking too
freely of ice water at meals. Persons
who eat rapidly of rich food that is
highly sweetened, spiced and sailed,
and who do not digest at equal speed,
must needs drink to quench all al
most steady thirst arising from these
causes, and that only ice water seems
to satisfy. The self control of the
average woman is not always equal
to the task of a sensible apportion.
ment of water, but an excellent check
on imprudent drinking will be found
by squeezing the half of large lem
on into a glass, then filling the glass
but half full from the ice pitcher
and slipping throughout the meal.

to the taste, it cools the throat al
most instantly, a mouthful of it in

THAT the local water company has
a very inferior lawyer is borne out by
facts in the case of Patrick Sweeney
ct al. VS.. Montana Central railway.
Almost every citizen in town is ac-
quainted with this ease and its un-
questioned merits. Mr.. Brady some
months ago, on behalf of his clients,
filed a complaint in the district court
of the sixth judicial district. The
attorney for the railroad had no diff
Guilty in setting aside the complaint
because of the technical errors it con
tanned. The case was again brought
up in Great Falls last week with the
same results. Mr.. Brady has a first
class case, if he can only succeed in
drawing up a complaint that will
hold water in court. This he may
be able to do if he live long enough,
and employ the same assidui-
ty of purpose that he displayed in
having a worthless water system ac-
cepted by the city council.
1t is unkind of the Miner, in re-
porting this case, to say that "Judge
Mcconnell wished to amend his COM
plant" thus taking away from Mr..
Brady, the principal lawyer for
plaintiffs, the honor of drawing up
the complaint. The truth is that
Shores, for the railroad, knocked out
the complaint and that a new one
has to be drafted.

THE silver outlook is brighter to-
day than it has been for some months
past. A steady advance is noticeable
in almost all speculative lines, and
once this week the silver market
reached 63 cents. Without a known
favorable cause of this furry on
change, there is no n can say that
it is for the best. Critics are gener-
ally attributing the rise in quotation
to the likelihood that the Chinese
wal indemnity will be paid in silver.
If such critics are correct in their be-
lief, then there is not much hope
that the advanced price of the white
metal can be maintained, but
rather that a reactionary slump will
follow the payment of war claims.
Gold Y. Curtis, cashier of the
First National bank of Great Falls,
has lately returned from the east. In
speaking with parties from Neihart
he is said to have remarked the great
reversion of sentiment among men of
affairs, there being those now advo-
eating silver coinage, who a few
months ago were strongly opposed
to it.
A.. Nathan, too, having just re-
turned from New York, speaks in
the same strain. Gle was surprised
10 note that bimetallists are common
among the heavy merchants and
tradesmen of New York city.
H. J. Skinner, president of the
State Bank of Neihart, observes the
same change of sentiment. remarking
that it is marvellous, and at the same
time highly encouraging to the
w%esterner.
There can be no doubt that a re-
turn to the practice of bimetallism
will be the result.

BOARDING SILVER IN LONDON.
Anticipate China's War Settlement.
May Spring a demand For Gold on
the United States Treasury
Probable Effect.

The New York World says: The
price of silver advanced Il cents an
ounce, following "a similar advance
in London, due to the beginning of
boarding here and abroad, in antici-
patton of immense financial transact
tons when China begins to pay the
wal indemnity demanded by Japan
of S250,000,000 or $500, 100000.
Whether China will have to pay in
silver or in gold, or in whatever coin,
the effect upon the United States
will be immediate.
If gold is demanded it is feared
that the rate of exchange on London
will suddenly shoot up, and the treas
ury will be subject to a new and
greater drain than any in its history,
a drain that Morgan and Belmont
will be powerless to stop.
1t is announced that Mr.. Charles
5. Drummond, the investment agent
of Baron Erlanger's banking house
IN Germany, has been asked to 90
to the east for his principal.
Long-headed fnanciers in Wall
street say there is a possibility of
some very important results when
this big war debt to Japan comes to
be paid. Japan may propose to
come and sit in the Chinese custom
houses, and by import and export
duties, help hersef. England will
at once object and proffer to accept
a Chinese bond and advance the cash.
If it is to be silver in payment, a
squeeze throughout China may pro-
duce it, or a revival of silver mining
may supply it, but a demand for
gold by Japan will direct attention
instantly to the one source of open
gold supply in the known world
the United States treasury.

Stairways.

Professor Goodman of the York
shire college, writing on this subject,
says that it is a mistake to suppose
that stone stairs are safer than wood
en- ones in case of fire. Stone is Of
ten the first material to fall in case of
fire. AS soon as the fire begins to
play upon the thin slabs of stone,
such as are used for stairs, they col
lapse with a crash. His opinion is
that iron or steel stairs, incased in
coke breeze or broken brick concrete,
makes by far the safest staircase, so
far as the fire risk is concerned.

JAPAN'S PRICE OF PEACE.
Dictates Humiliating Terms to
China.

AS a result of the negotiations be-
tween Minister Dunn in japan and
Minister DENLY in China, the terms
of the peace about to be concluded
between China and japan are now
known with little short of exactness.i
AS understood in official circles they
are as follows:
First-The treaty between Japan
and China has ceased to exist by
reason of the war, but on the renew
al of peace, the new treaty will
grant Japan extra territorial %juris-
diction over China, but the latter
country will surrender the extra
territorial jurisdiction she formerly
held in Japan.
S~econd-There will be no extern
sion of Japanese territory on the
mainland of Asia, but the island of
Formosa, Chinese possession lying
off the coast, will be permanently
coded to Japan.
Third-The japanese will by
treaty be granted the right to con-
tinue the occupation of Port Arthur
and Wei Hal Wei, the two great
naval stations leading to the gulf of
Pechili, for a term of years.
Fourth-The claims of China that
Korea is a dependency of hers shall
be forever relinquished and Korea
shall %henceforth be Independent.
Fifth-The cash indemnity to be
paid by China will not exceed $780,
100000 in gold.
The purpose not to extend Japan
ese territory on the mainland, but to
confine it to the outlying island of
Formosa, assures the conclusion of a
peace without European Intervention.
Probably the most important con-
c~ession is japanese occupation of
Port Arthur and Wei Hal Wei for a
term of years. This will assure a
continuance of the peace for many
years, as China is in no condi-
ton to renew hostilities so long as
the gateway to Pekin and to China's
commerce is guarded on either side
by the great fortresses, which China
grants to Japan for a term of years.
The permanent annexation of For
mosa to Japan will give a rich and
fertile country to the japanese. The
production of the island is very ex-
tensive. Moreover, there are ex-
tensive tracts of land we'll suited to
Japanese coolie labor.

WOMEN WHO APE MEN.
DR.. Parkhurst Calls Them "AndrOmaniacs''
and Defines the Word.

and Defines the Word.
There is an element in the COM
munity-a small one, I would fain
hope, yet the size of a thing is no
measure of the disquiet it will pro-
duce, ever as one little piping frog
in the meadow will Guido all the
crickets that are chirping in the grass
and all the whippoorwills that are
singing in the air-there is an ele-
ment in the feminine world that is
suffering from what I shall venture
to call "andromania," writes the
Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst in The
Ladies' Home Journal. The word is
not an English one, for the reason, ]
suppose, that the English language
makers never supposed that we
should need such a term. 1t is con-
structed on the same principle as the
word Anglomania, which means a
passionate aping of everything that
is English. "Andromania" means
similarly a passionate aping of every
thing that is mannish. 1t is an at
tempt on the part of those affected
with the disease to minimize distinc-
tions by which manhood and woman
hood IRE differentiated, whether as
regards their culture, their interests
or their activities. 1t is that animus
which permits a woman to imagine
that she has achieved a great tri-
umph if she succeeds in doing some
thing that only man has hitherto
been accustomed to do, but that no
woman has hitherto availed to do.
1t is that animus which excerpts to
having woman's public activities
along any line distinguished by any
designation of sex, as when in a
neighboring city not long ago a com
pany of women were organizing for
action in a field where masculine eff
forts already being eXerted,
and they objected to having their So
ciety called 1.-THE women's board of
aid" on the ground that their mascu-
line analogues working in the same
field did not call their organization
"the mems board of aid" Although
these two societies ere occupying
the same ground, yet it was reason
able to expect that the two would
cover the same ground in quite diff
ferent ways, and if the women in
question had realized that fact as
fully as they ought to have done, so
far from wanting to exclude the term
women they would have been
anxious to retain it and to have prov
ed that their work was equally val
liable.
