Gifts For the Prince.


In the jewelry stores of this city
score of fine Bismarck birthday gifts
are already exhibited, and the cities of
Heidelburg and Mannheim, not waiting
for his birthday, have elected the
prince an honorary citizen of their re-
spectiye towns
AS a practical result of the recent
sensational trials, showing the enor-
nous extent to which usury weighs
upon the young officers of the army,
funds were especially created in all the
army corps, from which officers mo-
mentarily embarrassed could obtain
loans at a very low percentage. These
funds have now been amalgamated at
the instance of the emperor into one
fund, the emperor increasing the sum
total by a large contribution out of MS
own purse. The fund is now known
as the Wilhelm Spende, and the min
lister Of war is made its central bureau.
A Diplomatic Soiree.
Considerable comment has been
caused in court circles by the news
that either during February or at the
beginning of the next month, the en-
peror and empress intend to be the
guests of the French ambassador, M.
Herbert, at a grand diplomatic soiree,
Which is to be held at the French EN-
bassy. Although it is well known that
the emperor has a sincere liking for
M. Herbert, it is said that the imme-
date cause of his majesty's decision
to attend the soiree was the liberal
manner in which the French embassy
was decorated and Illuminated upon
the occasion Of the emperors birthday.
According to court gossip, too, the
emperor and empress have accepted an
invitation to visit, in May, the inter
national art exposition at Venice, when
the beautiful Countess Morisini as
sumes the character of Dogaressa, her
ancestress. The king and queen of
Italy are also expected to be present.
Decorations Conferred.
The Reichsanzeiger announces that
Emperor William has conferred the
grand cross of the red eagle on Wis.,

his majesty with the insignia of the
Order Of the Chrysanthemum. be-
slowed upon the emperor by the mix
ado in recognition of the services rem
dered to the Japanese army by the in
struct1on given by German officers to
Japanese officers. Emperor William, it
will be remembered, has conferred the
collar of the Black Eagle" upon the
emperor Of Japan in return for the
Order Of the Chrysanthemum.
The United States ambassador Mr.
Theodore Runyon. and Mrs. Runyon
were among the guests at a small and
exclusive court ball at the castle on
Wednesday night last.
Mrs. Anna Berg, wife of the German
assistant commissioner at the World S
fair, and daughter of E. G. Halle, of

FULL OF REFUGEES.
GuatemaInns Who Do Not Desire to
Serve Their Country.

Gus;telmainns Who Do Not Desire tn
Serve Their Country.
CONTAIN, state of Chiapas, Feb g.
This border town is full of Guate~a-
Ian refugees who are arriving from
the south daily by secret routes TO
prevent being pressed into the army
service. They report great alarm as
prevalent among the people of the re-
public OF Guatemala, especially among
the frontierSmen, over the threatened
way with Mexico, and say that the
greater part of the army of u 600 men
now along the border have been forced
into service by the Guatemalan GOV
eminent. The most of the refugees
arriving at CONTAIN have come long
distances on foot through a wild coun-
try and are in a very destitute con-
dition. The problem Of taking care of
them is assuming serious proportions
and, work being scarce, it is not known
from where can come the means for
their continued support. Many Of
them are willing to enlist in the Next
3 can army and fight against their own
country if thereby they can contribute
to the overthrow of the rule of Presi-
dent BarriOs. Among the refugees
just arrived is a Mexican family
named Valdez, VINO have been living
for some time in Guatemala. The
family consisted of the parents two
sons and two daughters In making
their escape from the country they
were overtakeE and the father and
two sons killed. After being maltreat-
ed the mother and two daughters sue
6eeded in reaching this place nearly
dead with hunger and hardshipste The
matter viii be called to the attention
, of the Mexican government with "a re-
quest that demand be made upon
Guatemala for indemnity and punish
ment of the offenders who, it is
claimed, were Guatemalan soldiers. A
number of strategic movements, which
have been made by the Mexican
troops within the last few days, have
given rise to the rumor that an adj
vance upon Guatemalan soil has been
ordered. This is denied by General
Lorenzo Garcia, who is in charge of
the TenoSqui forces.

LATEST FROM CAMP FLOYD.
Geyser Mill Has Again Been Placed
In Operation.

Mercur Mercury-The Geyser mill
started up on Tuesday. The pipe line
TO the Rethke spring was completed
Tuesday and from 700 to 1000 gallons
of water obtained every twenty-folr
hours, enough to run the mill to a, ca
pacity Of fifty tons day. Ed. Diclsev
has general charge of operations, Sam
Shrine is foreman at the mine: sam
Trimmer is head solution man, and
under him are Will T. Morgan and
Tom Hughey; A. f. Fox is carpenter
and blacksmith and f. NJ Bish0p as
sayer. The new skips were placed on
the tramway Monday and work per-
fectly. 1t Will take ten DAYS or two
weeks to get the mill running to its
full capacity-then employment will
be furnished to a good force of miners
1t seems that Joe Wilkinson and
Scott Lisle, who left here last fall to
prospect in Nevada, did not get any
further than Vernon, where they have
what they think is a continuation of
the Mercur belt. The BOYS have Sc
cured some good assays, and are still
hard at work. A new district has
been formed, which is already pretty
well staked. Joe was elected recorder.
Charlie Howard informs us that he
has succeeded in extracting oils from
the Mercur shales, a convincing proof
in his estimation that this is a sedi-
mentary formation, and not volcanic.
A prospecting tunnel is being run on
the south end of the Matte No. A.
Bert Keller and George Rowland are
doing the work.

pected to Go In.
Chicago Feb. 9.-The recent reduc-
ton of the grain rate between Chicago
and the Atlantic seaboard from 25 to
70 cents has not had the expected re-
suit of preventing all decentralization,
nor the lines needing with any great
care the positive injunction of Chair
man Blanchard, of the Central Traffic
association, that thereafter the grain
rates must be rigidly maintained"
and 1t is likely within few days to
bear fruit in the shape of open cuts.
The affairs of the Western Trunk
line committee continue to brighten,
and it is now believed that the worst
OF its troubles are over. A conference
between the transcontinental lines, at
which both the Rio Grande Western
and the Union Pacific will be repre-
sented, will be held here during the
coming week and it is the general
opinion that it will end in such a man
ner as to permit both roads to become
members Of the committee. With the
Union Pacific on the inside, 90 per cent
of the difficulty of forming the commit
tee will be ended, the Missouri Pacific
will come in on the heels of the Union
Pacific, and the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas, it is expected, will follow suit
at once.
With these three lines and the Rio
Grande Western as members, the COM
nnittee will be at once able to begin
operations. This is, however, the rosy
side Of the matter. If the Union Pa
cific flies off at a tangent again, as it
has done so many times already, the
patience of some Of the other lines will
hardly hold good against the tempta-
ton to punish it for the trouble it has
coused.

E,rERsnN,s ESSAYS.

To Emerson an essay was rather a col
lection of single sayings than humorous
whole. He was keen-eyed and clear
sighted enough to understand his own
shortcomings, and he once said that every
sentence of his was an INFINITELY repel-
lent article.' His thoughts did not form
a sliftering chain; they were not even
loosely linked together. They lay side by
side like unset gems in box. Emerson
was rather O. poet with moments of in
sight than a systematic philosopher. The
lack OF structure in his essays was. IN a
measure, due also to the way they were
written-Professor Brander Matthews. in
January st. Nicholas.
