FROM wAsHINGTON's HEAD.
A Lock of Hair is Among BIsmarck's
Birthday Presents.

Birthday Presents.
LONDON, April IA dispatch from
Berlin to the Standard says that Emperor
William intends TO personally christen
the new German warship Bismarck"
The dispatch adds that the prince still
dresses and undresses without assist
ance.
His weight is about 200 pounds, but
this fuctuates somewhat. He looks
much better and younger than he did
after his illness at Kissengen in 1888. He
seems to be rather stimulated than wear
led by his birthday celebration. Among
the interesting presents that he has re-
ceived is a lock of Washington's hair.
Most of the presents are valuable works
of industrial art
1t is surprising to find that so far all
the gifts are different. Among the
curios is a tablet in the shape of Prus-
sian iron cross. consisting of eighty
squares the size of postage stamp, on
which Bismarck's name is written 90, ,220
times. the number of days he has lived
The center piece is a miniature of the
old emperor in the act of giving his hand
to Prince Bismarck.
This is surmounted by a statue of Ger
mania. This is the gift of an army ma
jor. Head Forester Lang has sent from
Friedrichsruhe sixty-tive young oaks to
be planted in various places throughout
the country in honor of the day.
NEW YORK GERMANS CELEBRATE.

Districts There.

marck's birthday is being celebrated by
the Germans of this city today. Flags
are flying throughout the distinctive
German districts on the east side. All
the German societies, Schuetzen corps
and organizations celebrate in some form
or other.
A committee of prominent men have
arranged a festival at Terrace garden
this evening, the feature of which will
be its informality. There will be
speeches and singing. A series of liv-
ing pictures, representing Bismarck,
William l, William II, Napoleon III,
and other notables of Europe will be
presented.
The two Biggerman societies, the
Arcon and Liederkranz, will hold fes-
tivities in their headquarters.

FREE COINAGE OF
SILVER.

The free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the product ofAmerican mines,
at the old ratio of 10 of silver to I of
gold, is the only solution of and
remedy for the disturbed and unsatis-
factory condition of trade, manufac-
ture and general business of the coun-
try. The surreptitious act Of 1878,
divorcing silver and gold in our none
tary system, was crime of untold
magnitude. 1t was the rankest kind
of class legislation in favor of the
wealthy against the producers of
wealth, and hostile to the prosperity
of the United States. 1t was an act
of treason because done at the instance
of European syndicate and for bribe
money, "giving aid and comfort TO
cur country's enemies" To Shield
the guilty parties, the well authend-
Gated facts, often published, have been
vigorously denied.
The Enquirer viii continue to ex-
pose this objectionable crime until
right and justice are done the people
by the full restoration of silver to It's
old companionship with gold. We
need the assistance of the people in
disseminating the truth, to which end
we invite all in your selection of pa.
pers for the coming season to include
the Enquirer, that costs only $I.oo a
year. ISSUED twice week.

The male population of Hartford

that town Sunday, and hae.alI the
appearances of being mad. It at
tempted to bite dozen or more
citizens that day, among thespmber

Unappreclated Herolsm.

There are moye ways of winning a
wife than there are Of losing one. A
bennington lover has, however, dis.
covered new one. The object Of his
affections admitted that she had
"walked out" with his rival. Where
upon he threw himself into q canal
not very far. but with the water up TO
his neck. There he stood and swore
that if she did not promise to marry
him he would go under. She hesi.
tated, but considering how very damp
he had got, at last consented. The.
report does not say that she embraced
him on coming to land. It was o
bold step for him to take to the water,
and one that, to quote somewhat
similar instance, might not have suo-
ceeded.
A young lady in charge of the cap
tain of P. & o. bout had two suitors
on board and pug dog. The latter
fell overheard, and one Of her swains
instantly jumped after it into the sea.
The other confined himself to leaning
over the side, and crying, "Poor dog
giel" When the resouer came on
board. dripping, the young lady
turned to the captain, and asked him
which OF her two lovers, after such an
incident, he would recommend her to
take. He was practical man, and
replied, "Take the dry one," which
she accordingly did. The only in
stance of wet lover being appreci.
ated was that of Observation-Disclosures

CUSTER'S HEROES.
now TIE PLACE WHERE THEY
FELL LOOKS TO-DAY.
Site Of the Little Big Horn Battle
field Turned Into a National
Gemetery-262 Little
White Slabs.

~ UT in Southwestern Montana,
about sixty miles from Bill
ings and ten miles from Fort
Custer, Is National ceme-
terry. This deaths acre is the site OF
the most tragic and desperate battle
in our military history-the battle Of
the Little Big Horn. Here Custer,
with the gallant Seventh Cavalry, two
hundred and si1ty-two strong, met
the Indians on June 25, 1876, and not
one of those brave men wasleft to tell
the story; only 262 little white slabs
clustering about the cross that marks
where Custer fell give mute evidence
of the heroism and bravery SO vainly
displayed at that terribly fatal battle.
That the battle was fought cannot be
doubted. Custer was leading an at
tack and had located the Indian village
in the valley of the Little Big Horn
and was making forced march in the
night to fall upon them before they
discovered his presence. The Indians,
however, discovered this plan and
when Custer. realized this he attacked
them for fear they might escape. The
battle took place on the brow OF high
hill, which commands o view Of the
whole valley of the Little Big Horn.
1t was not massacre or ambush, for
this field stands out the most conspicu-
GUS in the whole valley, without trees,
shrubs, grass or weeds to conceal an
enemy, When the mutiiiated bodies
