mt few mortalS. The man who rounded
out his eighticth year Monday has earned
his honors as the creator of united Ger
many. From 1896 almost continuously
until his disagreement with the young
emperor in 1890, Bismarck was in the
public service of his country. He it was
who contended with iron will for the uni
fcation of the German States while that
idea was as yet but a dream in q few
large minds like his He it was who in
1862, on entering upon the Office of min
lister, forced upon an unwilling constitu-
ency the project of military reform and
the expulsion of Austria, which was
achieved at Sadowa. He it was who
drew up the constitution for the new Ger

to cement that federation into p%erpetuity
by melting the war with France.

DEMAND FOR HORSE.MEAT.

ket in Germany.

Ndy TIuO q MAR.
ket in Germany.
in view of the closing of German mar
kets to American cattle there is another
direction towards which American pack
ers might well turn their attention. and
ina Is the preparation and sale of horse
meat. The above is the suggestion made
by United States Consul E. w. Tingle.
at Brunswick, Germany, in a report to
the State Department.
He says that in large German cities the
consumption of horse meat is almost as
great as that of beef and mutton and it is
growing in the smaller towns. Of course
the customers are exclusively Of the poor
er classes, but they compose nine-tenths
OF the consumers of the country and the
meat is sold for I cents a pound as
against beef at from Is to % cents.
The consul sets out reasons to prove
that horse meat is quite as good as beef.
He says the demand has increased so rap
idly in Germany that it is difficult to meet
it, and whereas butchers formerly paid
from So to $40 for a wornout horse for
slaughter, they now pay $40 and $50, and
prices are rising. The consul sees here a
great opportunity for American packers.
He says the horse supply in America
is practically ~inexhaustible; they can be
raised in the West cheaper than cattle
and are more easily shipped. The meat
cannot be canned, but it can be furnished
sailed or smoked as we'll as fresh, just as
it is used in Germany.
The report touches upon the astonish-
ingly rapid disuse of horses in America
consequent upon the Introduction of the
trolley car, which has made horse raising
in the West improbable. and urges that
the ranchmen may find relief by raising
horses for food; the prejudice against the
meat in America being no good reason
why he should not profit by the different
state of things in another country.

DEATH OF
Graphic Description of the Last Scene
of the Matabe1e War.

Graphic Description of the Last Scene
of the Natabele War.
A correspondent, writing to a Sorth
African contemporary, supplies what
he states is the true story of the death
of the great Matabele chief, L%Obengula.
1t is a pathetic story. The correspOn-
dent relates: "Lobengula, suffering
from smallpox, worn out by his long
flight, disappointed in his hopes Of
peace, and altogether broken down by
the loss of his country, his power, and
possessions, came to Il halt at last
among the mountains north Of the
Shangani River. Here he begged his
witch doctor to give him poison with
which to end his life, but the man re-
fused. The despairing chief went up a
hill to the foot of the crag which tops
it, and, sitting there. he gaZed for Il
long time at the sun as it slowly sank
toward the west. Then descending, he
again demanded poison of his doctor
and insisted till finally it was given
to him. Once more ascending the slope,
he seated himself against the krantz,
took the poison, and gaZed at the setting
sun stOlidly awaiting the death which
presently put an end to his sufferings
and his blood-stained life. There is
something pathetic and grand in the
picture. 1t is the last scene of the great
epic, the conquest of Matabeleland. His
followers found him seated there in
death, and, piling stones and rocks
around him, they left him. Whether
he was placed in his royal chair, tlanked
by guns and covered Over with his
blankets and other possessions, as de-
Scribed in tlc South African Review, I
know not. All this may be true, and

WINSLOW IN THE LEAD.
May BE Elected to the Supreme Bench
in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin on Tuesday elected a justice
of the Supreme Court to succeed Justice
Winslow, who was the candidate of the
bar on a general call for reelection. His
opponent was Judge George Il. Clement
son, also a candidate on a general call. as
no party nominations were made. While
the contest was therefore nominally non
partisan, party lines were to some extent
drawn, as Winslow n a Democrat and
Clementson a Republican. The vote
throughout the State was light, and the
returns Indicate that Winslow is elected.

A CRACK IN THE EARTH.
Eighteen Houses Destroyed by O
Strange Phenomenon.

Strange Phenomenon.
A remarkable disaster has occurred
in the old German town If Brux, in
Northwestern Bohemia, in many re-
spects recalling the recen; disastrous
earthquake which almost entirely de-
stroyed the town of Laibach. in Car
niola. On Friday evening the inhabi-
tants of Brux were alarmed by the
sudden extinguishing Of the street
lamps. and at first Ii was surmised
that an accident had occurred at the
gas works. The report. however.
spread that a large number of the
houses in the Bahnhofstrasse were in
imminent danger of collapsing. which
was shortly after confirmed and sup
plenented by the news that the tAnne
shaft, belonging to the BruX Coal
Mining company. in the vicinity of
the town, had been completely flooded
by an thrush OF sand and water. In
consequence Of the reports the author
tiles took immediate steps to clear he
houses in the Bahnhofstrasse of their
inhabitants and it Is owing to the
prnmptness with whitn precautionary
measures were adopted that the subse-
quent series of disa Sters We're attend
