After coffee and cigars had beer
passed, Bismarck's long pipe, with iti
china bowl decorated with the family
coat OF arms, was brought to him and
lighted. A small table at his side held
tray with long queer matches,
small rod, and other pipe appur.

to time used. Never had I seen the

putting at his long pipe-that his
toric pipe, in the cloud-smoke OF
which the Germany of to-day first
took shape-his face animated, strong
md ever-changing, the two dogs now
stretched in front at full length, with
their big heads crossed over their
masters feet. "This one was a gift to
me from the young Emperor. said
Bismarck, pointing to the larger OF
the two.
Talk turned upon the afectionate
pess and faithfulness of dogs, and some
one asked how the unmerited ex.
preston, "gone to the dogs" had
ever originated. Bismarck said:
.'The meaning of that saying has be-
come entirely perverted. In oldep
times, when pack of hounds was
necessity, not a luxury. on every
country estate, horses and cattle
when they had outlived their useful.
ness, were slaughtered and given to
the dogs for food. This is what was
originally meant by gone to the
dogs"
Conversation next turned upor
America, and Bismarck asked much
about his old friend Carl Schurz. "1n

Ehufle-Shoon is old and gray
Amber-Locks little child,
But together at that play
Age and youth are reconciled,
And with sympathetic glee
Build their castles fair to see!
"When I grow to be q mani
So the wes ones prattle ram
"I shall build castle-so.
With a gateway broad and grand.
Here pretty vine shall grow,
There q soldier guard shall stands
And the tower shall be 80 high
Folks will wonder by and byT'
Shuf1e-Shoon quoth: "Yes know,
Thus builded long ago!
Here gate and there a wall,
Here window, there door
Here steeple, wondrous tall,
Riseth ever more and more;
But the years have leveled low
What builded long ago"
So they gossip at their play
Needless OF the fleeting day.
One speaks ofthat Long Ago
Where his dead hopes buried Iel
Ono with chubby cheeks aglow,
Prattleth OF the By-and-By.
Side by side twin castles grow
By-and-By and LonS-Ago'
Long-Ago and Dy-and-By-
All, what years atween them liee
Yet, oh grandsire, gaunt and gray,
By what grace art thou beguiled
That thou sharest in the play

Children both, they build their blocks

To See the Great Llama.

Prince Galitzin, of Russia, is fel-
low of the Geographical Society of st.
Petersburg end one of the most ia
nous travellers Of the world. He will
start soon with an expedition to pene-
trate the plateau OF Thibet with the
intention of entering the sacred city
of Lassa and interviewing the grand
Llama. 1t is said that no European
has ever faced the grand Llama, and
the success of Prince Galitzin in his
undertaking would be open to grave
doubt were it not for his record in
the way of wonderful journeys. 1t is
over a year since his appearance at tho
head of small Cossack caravan in the
passes of the Pamir table land on the
extreme northern frontier of India
startled the English Government. Ha
has demonstrated by journey Of over
1900 miles from the terminus of trans
Caspian railway, at Samarcand, that
the Indian frontier was accessible to
Russian attack through the Pamir
table land, hitherto considered inac.
cessible. Retracing his steps with his
caravan he passed through the Quen-
lun Mountsins, crossed Eastern Turki-
stan into Siberia, until he struck tha
caravan route leading to Irkutsk, neal
Lake Baikal, in Southern Siberia. He
then pursued his way east to Vladivos-
tok, thence through Japan and to
Vancouver and the United States. If
Prince Galitzin succeeds in entering
Lassa and getting out alive his next
journey will be from the eastern term
mus OF the trans-Siberian railway,
along its proposed route to Berins
Sea. Then, crossing into Alaska, he
will try to pass through British Co.
lumbia to the northern boundary o.
the United States.-Piaayune.

JAPs NOT SATISFIED
The War Spirit is Dominant and
I Peace is Not Assured.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-IG is
stated by diplomatic officials that
the extension Of the Japanese and
Chinese Armistice to May s, is in
order that peace terms may be
ratified by the respective govern
ment. There is still positive fail
ure to ratify the agreement.
Accompanying this are reports
Of popular agitation in Japan
against the peace terms and the
suppression OF many newspapers
which assail the government.
These expressions Of popular senti-
ment, coming at time when the
japanese parliament will be called
on to accept or reject the agreement
causes some misrepresentation
as to the outcome. The govern
ment is expected to prevail and
carry out its program.
1t has been feared from the out
set that the negotiations that the
military element of Japan, enco ur-
aged by their constant victories
and supported by the universal
war spirit among the people, could
not be easily induced to accept
moderate terms of peace. The
final terms OF peace are far short Of
what the radical element demand
and the agitation in Japan is taken
to indicate that there will be some
difficulty in getting the terms rat
flied

For a man who has served so
long in the office of Attorney Cen
eral of the state and who is be-
side one Of the greatest cranks on
constitution that the chair Of the
Chief Magistrate has ever held,
Governor Culberson seems to have
a fatal lack Of acquaintance with
that instrument. The Legislature
appear to match him in their ig-
norance Of the fundamental law Of
the state, and between them Texas
is tying herself into a double bow
knot that it will take time and
money to undo. Better cut the
knot and sim plify the whole matter
by adopting new constitution and
firing the present useless and cum
bersome one. The more it is
studied the less is known about it,
and all the use to which it
cal be put w-uld be to
SIT it up as beacon to guard the
trainers OF the new constitution
from adopting any of it's provisions
except few plain and simple ones
that cannot well be set aside. 1t
has served its day and generation
as the antipode of the old recon-
struction constitution and should
be abolished.

San Antonio is tired to death
and disguised beyond expression
with that Brand contract. Wheth-
cr contract like that is good in
law or not is one Of the things for
the courts to decide, but common
sense is not bad law in the last eX-
tremity, and good horse sense says
that contract is not good. Not
good because the people were not
rightly represented by their agents
and have a right to plead the
statute Of mental disability on the
part Of the Common Council when
they entered into such an agree
ment. That contract on the face
OF it, and in the construction that
is put upon it, utterly disregarded
the interests OF the people and
made the collection of the taxes by
the agencies prescribed by the
State Legislature an impOssibility
The Council would do we'll to ig-
more that contract, take the collec-
ton Of taxes out Of the hands Of
its principal and returning to the
old and legitimate method OF max.
ing all tax collections let Brand
take his recourse in a suit at law.

A Two Continent Wedding.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Had it
not been for the Gould-Castellane
wedding, Chicago could have had
the honor OF furnishing the bride
of the most talked Of wedding Of
the year, for the marriage Monday
OF Miss Mary Letter, the Chicago
heiress, to Hon. George Curzon, son
of Lord Scarsdale, of England,
would easily have ranked as the
social event of the year. AS it is,
it will be very interesting, since it
is the first great heiress Chicago
has contributed to the old world
since Miss Ellen Stager, daughter
Of Gen. Arson Stager, married Lord
Butler in 1887.
There are many points Of analO-
gy between this union and that
which took place just twenty-one
years ago between Lord Randolph
Churchill and Miss Jennie Jerome.
In each instance it is a case Of
American beauty and wealth mar
rying man whose principal
claim to distinction is to be found
in their superior mental attain
mentS. For the future Lord
Scarsdale possesses as sma
pretenses to good looks as
did the late Lord Randolph
Churchill. Mr.. Curzon, who is a
member of Parliament, is not a
typical Briton. His stature is al.
most as diminutive as that of Lord
Randolph, but he makes up for it
by a firm conviction Of his superb
GRITTY to the remainder Of his fellow
creatures. Indeed Mr.. CurZon goes
by the name Of that every superior
person." and both at the University
Of Oxford and in the London music
halls verses have been composed

"That superior person,
George Nathaniel CurZon +"

Curiously enough, his pretentions
do not excite the animOsity and
i'll will that might be expected, and
there appears to be a general dis
position to look upon him as a fu-
ture Prime Minister, just in the
same way that people were wont to
regard Lord Randolph Churchill.
He is genuinely clever and an adj
mirable writer. He has travelled
extensively, and has interviewed
in turn the Shah Of Persia, the
King of Corea and Emperor OF ia
pan, and. has lately returned from
a visit to the Ameer of Afghanis-
tan, so that, as far as experience is
concerned, he may be regarded as
we'll equipped and OF the school as
that to which Lord Rosebery be-
longed in his younger days.
Miss Letter is the daughter of L.
Il. Letter, the drygoods prince from
Chicago. Years ago Letter became
multi millionaire and retired
from business. He came East and
selected Washington as his home,
but his family has spent most of
the time in Europe. Miss Letter
is distinctively Partisan, and speaks
French and Italian with fluency.
She is an accomplished musician,
and has painted some really
charming landscapes. Miss Letter
is known both in this country and
Europe as lovely American, and
met her prospective bridegroom
three years ago, while she was
travelling abroad with her parents.
The engagement is reported to be
a genuine love match.
The ceremony will take place in
st. Johns Church at noon, and
will be followed by a wedding
breakfast at which $50 guests will
be present.

to cultivate the art of conversation
and the other the art of silence.
Which of them is more needed

art of conversation is about lost,

SAN JACINTo DAY.

that while an independent repub-
lie she met and defeated the armed
legions of Mexico, which had in
vaded her soil and threatened her
liberties, routed them on the fate
full field of San Jaclnto and secured
her right to self government for
all time to come. This day this
year falls on Sunday. The regu-
lar celebration has been postponed
on account of the later coming of
a multitude OF guests to whom it
is intended to do honor by cele-
brating the Flower Battle usual
on this Dist April on that later
date. None the less, the day on
which the decisive battle for
Texas independence was fought
will be celebrated generally
throughout Texas on the following
day or days, and even in this city
despite the later and more elabor-
alta celebration Of early June
there will be a remembrance OF
the trials and triumphs Of the
fathers Of Texas liberty on San
Jacinto Day, the ever to be re-
membered and immortal Dist
April. Nearly half a century has
elapsed since that decisive battle
which, following so hard on the
heels of that awful massacre of the
Alamo, was as unexpected as a clap
OF thunder from clear sky. At one
blow it broke the power Of the
invaders arm and gave to the Lone
Star state the possession of her.
self with all her rights intact.
1t was ten years later before the
full fruits Of that victory were
secure, but from the day of San
JacintO there was no doubt of the
final issue. The incorporation OF
the immense state into the sister
hood of American States, known
as the United States of America,
commenced the new era for the
brave little republic in this then
remote southwest and planted her
feet on pathway Of progress along
which she has since made gigantic
strides. Her future no one knoweth,
only that measured by her past it
is destined to grow increasingly
great and bright until she shall
shine the brightest star in the fir
mament Of the Nation. 1t is fitting
that her people pause on the just
crossed threshold Of her greatness
today and, marking her progress
