GERMANY is WATCHFUL.
Three Powers Arrange to Protect Their
Asian Interest.

LONDON, April ga dispatch to
The Times from Berlin says that The
North German Gazette (seml- -ottlclal)
publishes all article of similar import to
that contained in The Cologne Gazette.
The Cologne Gazette said that in
view of the pressure being exercised by
the war party in Japan, Germany at
the beginning of March enjoined the
Japanese government TO be moderate In
the terms demanded for peace, urging
that the cession of territory upon the
mainland of China would be especially
calculated to induce the Intervention of
the powers. When it was shown by
the published terms of peace that
Japan was not disposed to
Follow Germanys Advice
steps were Immediately taken to estab-
lsh an accord with the powers, and a
complete agreement has been reached
with Russia and France. The three
powers Germany, Russia and France,
will now take steps TO protect their in
terests in Western Asia. The question
Of territorial changes will be first kept
In view against Japan's desire to bind
herself like solid girdle around China
IN order to be able to shut off China en-
hrely from Europe. In case of need
the three powers mentioned intend to
avert in good time any injury to their
interests. 1t was added, however, that
Germany would be made to see Japan
enjoy the fruits of her military prowess
On condition that it does not injure
Germany's interests.

Did the Business.

The recent marriage of the widow of
p. T. Barnum to a wealthy Greek has
brought out a story of how the great
Snowman won his English bride. It was
his theory that the people liked to be
humbugged, and he made good use of
the idea in the management of his show,
but 1t will be news to many that he
worked the same scheme in securing his
British wife. AS the story goes, Barnum
at the time was mayor of Bridgeport.
He was lonesome, and his beautiful home,
Waldemere, on the shore of Long Island
sound, was not much visited except by
sightseers. He became interested in the
beautiful daughter of John Fish of South
port, England, il retired manufacturer,
and solicited her hand in marriage. Bar
mum was we'll advanced in years. and
knew his fame as the prince of showmen
fact, that fame might have hurt his suit
more than helped it, for Miss Fish great
iy disliked the notoriety attached to the
greatest show on earth" and after she
married it's owner always managed to
hold herself aloof from the publicity her
husband loved so we'll. But the old
showman's knowledge of the English love
for official celebrity led him to play a
winning card. He had his photograph
taken, with Waldemere as a background.
The picture represented him seated in a
snowy landau, harnessed to four beauti-
full black horses, his coachman on the top
and two footmen up behind. Under
the photograph We're the words, Lord
Mayor of Bridgeport" A copy of this
picture was forwarded to Miss Fish, and
Barnum always thought it 'did the bust
ness.'

Magistrate Harrison is laughing hearth
ly over Il case that was adjusted before
him the other day. A wagon loaded
with mineral water jugs backed up to
the curbstone in front of Il bottling es-
tahliShment last week, and the driver
proceeded to unload his wagon by tossing
the jugs, one at Il time, to a colored
youth who stood on the opposite side
of the curbstone, ready to catch all that
came his way.
When things were moving nicely an
old man who occupies Il house next door
stepped out of his W door, threw a
brick as straight us Il bullet and broke
one of the jugs while it was in transit
from the driver to the colored boy. He
darted back into his own domicile before
the driver could recover himself enough
to make Il protest. 4 few minutes later
another jug was smashed, and again the
old man disappeared with Il merry laugh.
This was kept up until about a dozen
jugs had been smashed, when the angry
proprietor stopped the fun by causing
the old fellows arrest ON the charge
of malicious mischief.
When Judge Harrison read the charge
to him the old man laughed until the
tears rolled down his cheeks, and then
admitted his guilt. In making an ex-

Cunning OF an AFGHAN.

During a shooting exhibition by some
English soldiers in the presence of an
Afghan chief the latter noticed, to his as
constituent, that birds were the ~favorite
butt of the marksmen, who but seldom
missed their aim. Whereupon he de-
clared that it was far more difficult to hit
an egg. One Of the English officers
laughed ut the supposition. but the chief
stood his ground, and the matter was put
to the test, An egg vas suspended from
a wall and the soldiers fired Mt it, but.
strange to say. not one of them hit the
mark. The officers kept their counter
ances and excused the non-success of the
firing party on the ground of the difficulty
of the thing. AT last II soldier fired over
the egg and cut the thread to which the
egg was fastened, and it fell to the
ground without breaking. The mystery
was solved. The cunning Afghan had
used a blown egg, and the feather-weight
shell had been moved aside each time by
the current of air in front of the baIi.
and thus escaped being hit.-London
