TALKED OF INVADING AMERICA.

.tartlins Statements Made by Grand
Duke Alexis at the Kiel Celebration.
From the Washington Post: The
laval officers who were with our white
squadron at Kiel tell some mighty in
eresting stories, "whin so dispoged'
is Sairy Camp might say. They were
n intimate terms with princes and hob
aobbed with emperors and kings, who
or the time unloaded rank and were
rec and easy with s'the boys" Though
The officers are curiousIy reticent touch
ing what their foreign visitors talked
about, two pretty significant stories
aave leaked out. The German emperor
was an aVowed admirer OF the clean,
new, white American ships, and liked
to visit them incognito-that is, with
only an aid-de-camp or two along. One
day he was talking with a famous
young captain, who won his laurels be-
fore he was 20. Captain, l see that
most of your country's war ships are
fast cruisers. What do you call them?
All, commerce destroyers, do you not?"
Yes, emperor said the other. We've
been watching you on this side" the
emperor went on, ''and we have come to
the conclusion that these ships are
built for a war with England. What
stroy?" There was silence after this,
for our captain had said more than he
intended The Grand Duke Alexis was
also at Kiel. He is full Russian ad-
miral now, and the head Of the Russian
navy. He was also frequent visitor
to the Americans and, like all the other
notables, talked with the utmost frank.
ness to our officers. One day. watch
ing the Columbia as she rode the waves
as lightly aud with the easy grace of
a blue-wing teal, the grand duke said
to a captain: I'm glad you Americans
are rebuilding your fleet. Do you know
what most impressed me when visited
your country? Let me tell you. The
first thing was your wonderful national
wealth; the second, the absolutely in
adequate means at your disposal for ma
tional defense. You were like drunk
en- man with pockets full of money and
two or three hungry ruff1ans on the
dark side of the street waiting chance
to attack him."
'Why, do you mean to say be-
gan the somewhat startled captain.
when the Russian put his hand on the
other arm and said:
''Twice in my career l have heard the
project of capturing one or two OF your
great cities and holding them for ran

of European fleets whose countries had
hard work TO make ends meet. And
they meant it, too. once made SEN

black diamonds, or commercially as

drills and for similar purposes, their
color not adapting them to ornament.
The original finder is, we believe, not

is in the hands Of the jewelry firm Of
Kahn & Co. Of Paris, ana the Brazilian
government is negotiating for it's pur-

value is placed by experts at between

for it by the present owners is some

at $4,000, while another said that they

$4,000, or not far from it's probable
maximum value. There is little doubt
that it will eventually be placed in the
Brazilian museum, as no private firm

it's present holders, or which would
likely be asked by any commercial
house into whose hands it might pass

In Memoriam.

Elizabeth j. Brown, wife of Denni-
son Brown, departed life December
4, 1895. at their home in Paris, after
brief illness of some ten days, al
though she had been in poor health
for nearly three years. Her maiden
name was Elizabeth j. Hakes, her
birth place Petersburg, N. Y, where
she was born May 2, 1928, and at the
time OF ner demise was aged ~ years
2 months and 2 days. January II,
1874 she was united in marriage with
Dennison Brown, and they came to
Howard county in 1870, and had been
residents of the comfy for quarter of
a century, when the tie that bound
them as man and wife was snapped as
sunder. She had for years been a
member Of the M. E. church and
worthily lived the life of christian,
and passed away with firm belief
that her redeemer liveth. Her inter-
ment was in the New Oregon cemetry.
There we're no children born to them,
and the husband who survives is ad-
vanced in years, his 76 birthday oc-
curing on the 3rd of January 1896.
Both were highly respected in the
community whore they have spent so
many years, and will be greatly miss
ed. Life will indeed be lonely with
the surviving husband through his re-
naming years.

LLoYD-Libbie, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Lloyd, died of consump-
ton, Dec. 6, 1895, at Lime Springs,
Iowa.
She was a patient sufferer and con-
secrated and dear child of God.
Strange as it was two months before
her death, she selected the hymns she
wanted sung and chose the minister
who should officiate. The writer, who
was assisted by the M. E. and Presby.
terian ministers OF Lime Springs. The
church was filled to it's utmost.
The writer has witnessed many dy-
ing scenes, but few gave such clear
evidence of a hope within as did little
Libbie. The last time the writer vis-
tied her we had a glorious season of
prayer and thanksgiving. Then, as
was about to leave, she drew me close
to her and said, "Brother, now I'll bid
you good bye; I'm going and I'll wait
for you on the other side." While dy-
ing, she shouted, Glory! glory, glory
to Jesus, my Saviour-he's mine; yes,
mine forever!" We read, .sAnd a lit
tie child shall lead them" I prom
ised would meet her, SO now may
our Heavenly Father help me and us
all that we may meet again never to
say good bye.
I'm that beautiful place he has gone to
For ali that are washed and forgiven,
And many dear children are gathering there,
