BENEVOLENT ROYALTY.
Bavaria's Oculist Duke and His
Beautiful Wife.
Three Eye Hospitals Are Now Maintained
by the Royal Couple Schloss Te-
gernsee, the Favorite Retreat
of Carl Theodor.

The third of six beautiful and tai
ented sisters, Princess Maria Josepha
of Braganza, became the second wife
of the. celebrated royal oculist, Duke.
Carl Theodor of Bavaria, on April 30,
1874.
No married life could be more simple
or happy than that led by Duke
and Duchess Carl TheOdor, surrounded
by their five children, three daughters
and two sons-Princess Sophie, born in
1875; Princess Elizabeth, 1876; Princess
Marie, 1878; Prince Ludwig Wilhelm,
in 1884, and Prince Franz Joseph, the
Sodson of the emperor of Austria, on
March 2S, 1883.
The duke and duchess, says the
Gentlewoman, lead very busy, useful
life, for the duke has no less than three
eye hospitals under his charge, which
he has himself founded, the principal
and favorite of which is at the royal
schloss at Tegernsee, in Bavaria. The
others are at Munich and Meran, at all
of which places he spends part of
the year with his family. His royal
highness performs the operations very
early in the morning lin summer at
half-past SIX, and he is almost always
assisted by the duchess, who takes the
greatest interest in her husbands work,
and who is herself a very skillful
trained nurse. He also sees all patients
early in the morning, and, as may be
imagined, the poor look upon him al
most with Worship and have an equal
alteration for the beautiful duchess.
The hospital of Tegernsee, which is
in the old royal schloss, now the prop
erty of the duke, can accommodate sixty
patients, each ward containing from
four to six beds. No fees are taken at
any of the three hospitals, but there
are boxes in which richer patients are
expected to place contribution, the
money being devoted to the deserving

Coal Mining br EIectrIcitr.

Coal will soon be hauled out of mines
altogether by electricity. An English
mine has tried electric hauling for
eighteen months. Here is the result:
1t cost $4,000 year to haul 600 tons Of
coal in ten hours with horses; with cleo
tricity, $4,000. American miners are
watching and waiting. Electrical peo-
pie are hard at work urging the adop-
ton of their power. The objection is
the large initial outlay.

A New Use For Balloon Sleeves.

Tho practical utility of the big balloon sleeve now worn by the women has been brought to light at last Two women have been arrested in Boston for shop lifting, and a considerable portion of the contents of several dry goods stores were found concealed in the ample space inside their fashionable sleeves
 An entrance to the storehouse was found to bo secured by loose and elastic continuation of tho sleeve on the forearm This enabled the balloonists to push all sorts of articles up into the storage space The operations of the ladies were greatly aided by the artistic use they made of their swelling sleeves while transferring the goods One of the fair operators would lean confidentially over the counter with her balloon in the face of the salesman and obstructing his view while her com. panion would be conveying away the pur Joined articles.

The Cool Man.

The superiority of those men who keep their tempers in public bodies is so ap- parent that coolness should be one of the first virtues to be cultivated there. Tho discreet member will regard public life of this kind as a school for such a purpose. There arc trials for nervous or impulsive men often in these positions, but part of their tactics must be to resist them if they are to have hope of success. Nothing can be clearer than that it is for their in- terest to do so. The debater who keeps cool is sure to have his opponent at a dis advantage. The cool man is usually master of sarcasm, which is an effective weapon in annoying an adversary, but dangerous one also, because there is al- ways the temptation to carry it too far. The men who have the widest influence are the good natured men, whose words leave no sting behind them. Boston Her aid

GOO at once, and after certain minor be- quests arc made the estate is to be divided equally among tho three children. The attorneys on both sides agreed to have the matter of probate of this document set for April 3.
 The executors do not seem much dis turbed by the production of the holograph ic will. They say that the signature is genuins but that the body of the docu ment is clumsy forgery. They have a fund of S250, ,0o0 loft by Mir. Fair to defend the will, and they propose to spend 1t in fighting the children.
 1T never spoke to my father about his will but once," Charles Fair recently said to San Francisco Chronicle reporter, "and that was one night when I met him on the street. He took me out into the middle of the street where tho cable cars were running and told mo he was about to make a will. He asked me how want ed my property left-whether I wanted it outright or wanted it left in trust with my sisters and how much. I told him to go ahead and leave it any way he wanted; that he was making the will, and 1 was satisfied that whatever he did would be all right. That was all he said and we walked back to the sidewalk. l often thought of that. Funny thing to do, wasn't it? To take me right out into the middle of Market street among the cable cars and tell me he was going to make will p

Judge Gresham and the Irisbmap.

Secretary Gresham usually walks from his hotel to the state department. The other morning while on his way through Lafayette park, Washington, he was stop ped by little, white haired old Irishman, who dotfed his hat, and holding 1t in his hand thus acoosted him.
 ''Is this Judge GreshamP
 "Put on your hat, my man, or you'll catch the grip" the secretary replied. 1T am the judge"
 Well, judge" the little old man re- piled, tits just this way: I have been reading in the papers that we stood good chance to have war with England. I have been waiting for such a chance to get in a few licks for the old country since I left St. Patrick's blessed land Sure, and I hope you are not going to take 1t away from me now"
 And so you want to go to war9' the secretary asked.
 "Indeed do ii England's the spalpeen to be licked, though I know I would get killed, and when I came back, sure, I would vote for you for president.
 Well" said Secretary Gresham, re- straining smile, you send your address to the state department, and if we have war I'll notify you in time to get ready."- Now York Telegram. s

In the Crimea. 1854.

On April 25 our battery had fortunate escape, for the Russians managed to drop a IS inch mortar shell right through tho roof of magazine. It broke the magazine mans neck, but did not explode All though the regular bombaTdment had ceased, thero was at this timo always suffi- cent fire of some sort to prevent perfect repose, and tho following day Captain Peel had narrow escape. 1 was follow ing close behind him through tho covered way to tho advance trenches when bull let passed between his legs and cut a groove in my left gaiter but such incl dents were so common that 1 should not have recorded it had not been so anxious for his safety.
 Toward tho end of the month there was renewed activity in advance of the right attack trenches in which many officers won distinction, but there were also many unrccorded acts of heroism, one of which is remarkable also for the horo's contempt of praise. During struggle for rifle pit an Irishman collared two Russians, and having slung his rifle over his shoulder led them back into our advanced trench, one in each hand. Said he, "Sit down wid ye, and having relit his short pipe he was enjoying it while contemplating his prisoners, when several soldiers of all ranks came round and warmly congratu- lated him on his prizes. He was sitting with his back to tho enemy and listened for some time in silence till without re- moving tho dhudeen from his mouth. but pointing significantly over his shoulder, he. observed, Deed but there's many moro for the bringing.

M'klNLEY, REED, ALLISON.
Editor Medill Says There Will Be Tri-
 angular Battle For the Nomination.

Editor MednI Says There Will Be a Tri-
 angular Battle For the Nomination.
 Editor Joseph Medill and Governor Mo Kin1ey were together in Thomasville, Ga., recently, and Mir. Medill said later: "Gov- ernor Mckinley has got to contest the pres idential nomination with two strong men. Ono of them is MT Reed, who apparently has behind him what MT. Blaine was never able to obtain, the united support of New England. He also will have good share of the New York delegation and is appar- ently strong in New Jersey and Pennsyl- vania. During the time between now and the convention Mir Reed will occupy the most conspicuous eff cial and political po- sition in the country, which is both an advantage and danger and being in con- stant peril both from his own acts and the acts of others there is no telling what may happen to him.
 "Then Senator Allison will come into the next Republican convention with a very serious and determined support, much greater and more influential than he has ever had before. I think this is Allison's opportunity do not believe he ever has been or ever will be again as near the presidency as ho will be this time. He will be formidable candidate. Thus it will be triangular rght. No one man will monopolize the next convention. As it looks to me now tue northorn states will be divided between the three oandi- dates pretty evenly, and the balance of power will be held by the delegates from the south to greater extent than ever be- fore.
 ''Governor Mckinley. judging from my conversation with him here, recognizes that the silver question will occupy lar ger measure of thought and discussion during the next campaign than the tariff, and that the Republicans will have to be more firm and decisive on that point than they ever have been. He sees that re- turn to double standard in the United State without the cooperation and con- currence of the European nations would be disastrous to our commerce and other industries, and he will hold up the flag for sound money.

oeAilficATloh IN CHINA.
The Emperor Makes and Unmakes Gods
 at His Own Sweet Pleasure.

Tie Emperor Makes and Unmakes Gods
 at His Own Sweet Pleasure.
 In China the emperor claims power, not only over his subjects (and indeed, for that matter, the whole inhabited world), but also over the realms of departed spir- its. These he beatifles, canonizes, decorates with titles, mentions with approval in the Peking Gazette when they do anything to deserve that honor and actually degrades and uncanonizes if he secs just cause For example, the Emperor Hieng Flung elevat- ed the god of war to an equal rank with Confucius, who previously had been chief among the state gods.
 Sir Alfred Lyall has drawn attention to some amusing extracts from the Peking Gazette, illustrating the wayin which the Chinese treat their deities. Thus The Ga zette of November, 1878, has the follow ing:
 "The governor general of the Yellow river requests that a tablet may be put up in honor of the river god. He states that during the transmission of the relief rice to Honan, whenever difficulties were en. countered through shadows, wind or rain, the river god interposed in the most un- mistakable manner, 80 that the transport of grain went on without hindrance. Or dor: Let the proper officer prepare tablet for the temple of the river god"
 In April, 1880, the god of locusts was similarly rewarded. A month or two earlier the temple of the Sea Dragon at Hoyang was decreed memorial board for services rendered in connection with rain and in another Gazette the god of water is given new temple by special rescript All this procedure is thoroughly in keep ing with the notions of the common peo- pie of China, who look upon the gods sim ply as human beings in different set of conditions. ns.-Contemporary Review.

 lsFACTIoN AMONG THE MINERS.
 Reports from Corona yesterday brought information to the effect that the operators of the mines at that place are experiencing considerable trouble with their men.
 A few days ago the company cut the price of ton mage 10 per cent, and a number of the men, rather than submit to a reduction, quit work.
 Some of the men however, did not quit. This led to the calling of a meeting ot the miners on Thursday, at which meeting, It is said, resolutions were passed asking all of the men not to work under the reduc- ton.
 The men, it is said, are armed with win chesters and other fire arms, but as yet have attempted no violence. Guards were placed at the mines on Thursday night, but no attempt was made to 0o any injury to the property of the company. e meeting, it is reported was held yester- day afternoon, but the results could not be ascertained.
 Nearly dozen deputies left here yester- day afternoon on the Corona accommoda- tion for Corona o stand guard at the mines.

 uions..
 Corruption does not exist in politics alone. The time was when people were shocked to hear that such conditions pre- vailed in politics, but worse than all else is the fact that this evil should be carried into the drug business and the sick be made to suffer in consequence thereof. For var1- -ous reasons dealers allow themselves to be persuaded to stock up, medicines of all sorts to be sold to the sick on the repre-. sentation that they are just the same as simmons Liver Regulator-a greater out rage has not been perpetrated upon the people. This has been the experience of many who have been duped by these false statements. Take only The Old Friend, Simmons Liver Regulator, with the Red z on every package. and you Il get the medi- cine that did the old folks so much good in bygone days.
