SOME GREAT SCENES.

The emperor's two eldest sons, Crown
Prince William and Prince Eitel Fred
erick arrived at the new palace at
Potsdam on Tuesday from Ploen col
lege, where thev are pursuing their
studies, for the purpose of enjoying
the holidays with their parents. On
Christmas eve the imperial family and
the servants of their household assem-
bled in the ante-room of the apart
mentS of the empress, where the en-
press and her children presented the do
mestics belinging to the household with
gifts. The emperor and empress with
the whole court, and Prince and Prin-
cess of Schaum -Lippe, then dined
in the marble hall of the palace. At
> o'clock in the afternoon the Christ
mas trees were lighted and the pres
ents displayed IN the grotto of the
saloon. Conspicuous upon the emper-
or'S table was an immense silver COB
let and a carved clock five feet high
frorI the grand duchess of Baden, the
emperor's aunt. The imperial children
ran about the saloon in high glee,
showing the members of the court the
presents the-Y had received. The EN-
press Frederick is spending the Christ
mas holidays with her son, Prince
Henry of Prussia and his wife, Princess
Irene, at KieI.
MUNITIONS OF WAR.
There is high authority for stating
that the war office is undecided
whether or not to present the reich
stag bill asking for a very largely
increased credit for the augmentation
of the artillery branch of the army at
the present session of the legislative
body. The government is anxious to
secure an enormous credit for the pur-
pose of carrying out its plans for the
additional new artillery. but there is
no certainty that the present reichstag
will grant il. General Won Gossler,
minister of war, in the course of re-
cent address to the budget committee
of the reichstag, in regard to new
gun which he described as being su-
perior to the new French "Canet"
quick firing gun, asked the members
of the committee to observe the strict
est secrecy concerning the whole plan
of the gun. Some indiScreet member
however, disclosed the whole plan of
the gun, and the budget committee has
begun searching inquiry with a view
of ascertaining which of its members
has shown himself unfit to be trusted
with the secrets of the body.
TOLSTOI IN TROUBLE.
Advices from St. Petersburg say that
a sensation has been created there by
the decision OF the holy synod TO eX-
communicate Count Leo Tolstoi the
celebrated Russian author, from the
orthodox church upon the ground that
his works are calculated to undermine
the church. The synod was melted to
this action by NJ. Pobedonostzoff, the
general of the synod, who
proposes to summon Count Tolstoi be-
fore the synod for trial, which will in
volve his being deprived of his civil
rights.

Berlin, Dec. 26.-The Christmas holi-
days, this year, have been very much
duller than for many years past. The
tradesmen have been greatly dissatis
fed at the lack of holiday business in
comparison with other years, and the
workingmen have been discontinued at
the slackness of work and the con-
sequent scarcity of money, with which
to provide their falimies with the bare
necessities of life. Added to this state
of affairs, the damp. raw weather
which has prevailed for the last few
days and still endures, has had a dis
piriting effect upon everybody, the alb
sence of the old time crisp frosts at
Christmas-tide having deprived the
period of its usual glow of festivity.
Last Christmas. the tradesmen COM
planned of bad business, but they all
agree in declaring that this year it is
far worse. 1t is not the lack of at
tractive inducements that retards shop
pers from buying There was never a
better display in the shop windows,
rangement of holiday goods under the
brilliancy of electric lights or a more
elaborate drapery of the stores. Never
thelesS, the jewelers. and all other
tradesmen who were relying upon reap
ing a harvest through their Christmas
sales are complaining bitterly of their
inability to do a satisfactory or even
moderate degree of business and it
is only the cheaper toy shops and
stores dealing in fancy articles that
are doing any business at all.

THE ANGEL CHARITY.

Though less money has been spent
in the purchase OF Christmas presents,
great deal more than usual has been
bestowed upon the absolutely destitute
classes. In addition to those already
existing, two night refugees were opened
on Christmas eve, where yesterday food
and clothing We're distributed to hun
dreds of distressed persons. The num-
bers of bazaars in behalf of various
charities have also been increased and
house-to-house collections to aid poor
children have been made. In conse-
quence of this increase in charitable
work there were general Christmas
treats, and dinners at the asylums,
prisons, casualty wards, soup kitchens,
donations to hospitals, etc, to a de-
gree OF beneficence beyond precedence !
The donations exceed all previous
years in respect of abundance and the
charities to which they were devoted
We're much wider in scope.

FfIw YORK, Sept. 26.-An astonishing
piece of news has been brought here by
certain society folks who spent portion
of their European season in Paris. It is
nothing less than that the fortune of
Anna Gould. the Countess de Castellane,
is rapidly on the wane, and that if it
continues to fade away at the present
rate it viii only be a question of a few
years when it will amount to little or
nothing.
When Anna Could on Monday. March
4. 1895. became the Countess OF Castel-
lane. in the Fifth avenue home of her
brother, George Gould, she had fortune
of $12,oO0,000 yielding an income of $500, 0G0
a year. 1t would seem that this sum
would be sufficient to nobly support any
young couple starting out on the voyage
of married life, but, apparently, it was
not in this case. Today the Countess of
Castellane has less than S7.000000. Part
Of this decrease of 100000 is directly
due to natural causes, namely, the depre-
citation IN value of the railroads, bonds
and stocks controlled by the Gould fam

AN AUTUMN NIGHT.

Some things are good on autumn nights,
When with the storm the forest fights,
And in the room the heaped hearth lights
Old fashioned press and rafter;
Plump chestnuts kissing in the heat,
A mug OF clDef Sa sSel,
And al your side a face petite
With lips of laughter.
Upon the roof the rolling rain,
And, tapping at the window pane,
The wind, that seems wifch's cane
That summons spells together;
A hand within your own awhile,
A mouth rejecting back your smile,
And eyes, two stars, whose beams exile
All thoughts of weather.
And, while the wind lulls, still to sit
And watch her fire-lit needles fit
Admitting, and to feel her knit
Your very heartstrings in it;
Then, when the clock ticks tbs late,
To rise, and at the door to wait
Three words, or at the garden gate
A kissing minute.

of the most fashionable part of Paris and

When the purchase was made it leaked
out that it was the intention of Castel-

THE FINANCIAL ENGINE.
Castellane could barely understand it,
although one of them. He saw his wife
snuhbed in a polite way time after time
The aristocrats looked down upon her,
and upon him, too, and this made him
desperate Then he determined to as
sumo the aggressive, and bring them to
terms by forcing them to acknowledge
his wife as a hostess unparalleled in the
present generation of Paris. He would
use his wealth as an engine to. smash
down all the barriers and leave the road
free and clear to the highest social emil

per cent. This is a serious thing where
tens of millions are concerned. Summed
up, the countess gave $2000,000 to the
estate of non-income earning kind; ST.,
600 GOO has been ost in stock and horse
speculations, and $500, 600 has faded away
by the depreciation in stocks. This brings
the total to s6000,o00. Of this, there is
little to show but the real estate, and as
it was purchased at fancy prices, it would
not bring 70 per cent of its cost if forced
upon the market
If things go on in this way it is easy to
foresee the lime when one of Jay Gould's
children will be short of funds.

There was no doubt as to the social
standing of the counts family. and il was
logically argued that with immense
wealth at his command the young couple
would naturally become an imposing
factor in the best social element.
