BERLIN. July y11.-Copyright, 1s96.)-
The members of the cabinet have nearly
all gone on their summer vacations.
The chancellor, Prince Won Hohenlohe.
spends his time at his estate at Ausse,
near Ischel, Upper Austria, where, il his
health continues good, he will do some
mountain climbing and chamois hunt
ing.
The birthday Of Emperor Francis Jo-
seph of Austria will be celebrated by
the Berlin court in the usual eclat. Be
fore leaving Berlin Emperor William
expressed to Prince Won Hohenlohe his
high regard and great satisfaction at
what had been accomplished in the
reichstag and German politics through
him. The relations between the empe-
ror and Prince Won Hohenlohe are at
present most cordial. The prince is now
occupied with the Cretan question and
is devoting his efforts to prevent Greece
from creating international difficulties.
The chancellor's health Is at present
good. but it is known that he has made
his continuance in office after next fall
dependent upon his majesty's consent
had the Bronsart bill drafted and made
ready. for introduction'in the reichstag.
But the bill still lies in the emperor's
private military cabinet, where Gen.
Won Hahnke, on whose judgment the
emperor greatly relies, wishes it to re-
main.
The bundesrath this year convenes
earlier than usual, probably on Septem-
ber /, but there is no doubt that the oleo-
margarine bill as passed by the reich

port of all oleomargarine impossible.
will be rejected by that body. Both DR..
Won Boetticher, the secretary of state
for the interior. and Baron Won Ham
merstein the minister of agriculture,
urge it's rejection.
One of the most important bills be-
fore the reichstag this fall will be
measure to authorize the building of
railroads in the German colonies of
Africa. 1t provides for the building of
several small railroads in German
Southwest Africa, and they will be built
entirely by British capitalists. The bill
also provides for the construction of a
big. road in German East Africa from

altogether about 1900 kilometers. a syn

Another bill provides for an increase
in the strength OF the navy.
The emperor insists that much larg-
er number Of fast cruisers must be
built, and the usual fall maneuvers
next month will be made to demonstrate
the necessity thereof, and will also show
whether it is desirable to have more
large ironclads.

Wine Prices

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-THE
wholesale price of wine has been ad-
vanced 21ac a gallon by the California
Wine Association. Both dry and sweet
varieties are included in the raise. These
consist of claret, Zinfandel, hook, reis-
ling and Chasselas, and port, sherry
and Angelica. Estimating that there
are 100000 gallons on hand, the ad-
vance will place $2oO,00O in the pockets
of the holders; Ordinary clar-
ct has gone up from 25 to
27h cents a gallon. Its price before the
combinations in the trade were made
was 111s cents. At that figure it did not
pay to produce it. Now, however, the
profit is large for all concerned, grape
growers, wine makers and dealers.
The cause for the advancement was
given by the California Wine associa-
ton is the damage done to the vines by
the frost and the hot winds having
caused the berries to fall.

lemoralizIng element in the female de-

demoralizlng element In the female de-
partment ever since her arrival. She
acknowledged to Mr.. Patterson no later
than Sunday that her temper was apt to
cause her to become morose, and in this
instance she had been at fault and would
endeavor to observe the rules and cease
annoying the attendants. Mr.. Patter-
son stated that in view Of the fact that
she had been unruly since her arrival
and had done much toward creating dis
cord among the other girls, he thought
that vigorous punishment was necessary
ard he didn't think that she had been
too roughly used. The gentleman was
not informed, though of her attempt to
end her life, which, If he was acquainted
with all of the circumstances, might
cause him somewhat to change his
Views.
The testimony Is not limited by any
means to the female department, and
other abuses in the institution in gen.
eral have been touched on. Among
the points brought out Is that OF
drunkenness on the part of some or the
employees and consequent narrow
escape from boiler explosion. Another
ugly feature and probably one OF the
worst in the school Is the revolving con-
dition of affairs In the boys department,
and these are expected to be brought out
more fully at the meeting of the board
tomorrow. Extravaganza in the pur-
chasing of supplies is also said to have
been discovered.
1t has been limited that politics enters
into the matter so far as the board is
concerned. 1t is claimed that the Re-
publican members have been adverse to
the investigation and will attempt to
controvert the evidence on account of
the influence Of Hervey Lindley, who is
alleged to have still a finger in the re-
form school pie. Mr.. Coffin, the super
intendent, is a relative of his, as are GER
tain of the attendants. The testimony
secured by the committee was taken un-
der oath. and those interested in having
the matter sifted to the bottom claim
that the nature of the evidence is of so
convincing a character as to insure
drastic measures being taken as
remedy,

ftottses Built in Trees

Man was indubitably at one period of
his existence an arboreal animal. He
had much to do with "the trees of the
garden" In some places, and as rep
resented by some races, he still lives
among them, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
The natives of New Guinea climb like
monkeys and travel for long distances
from one tree to another, without de-
scending to the ground. The birds
build little fairy-like cabins on the
ground, but the people construct their
houses in the top of the talest for.
est trees. First, native having climbed
the great trunk of the teak or cedar or
oak tree he has selected, begins by cut
ting off some of the branches the right
length to support a platform of bamboo
on which his house is to rest. You
would wonder how he could do any
thing with the tools he uses if you
should see them. He has no saw or
steel-edged ak. but only a sort Of toma-
hawk made of stone and knives of boiG
or hard wood. When, however. he has
in some way managed to get the limbs
of his tree so cut and fashioned as To-
support his house his hardest work is
done
The house itself is soon built and is
made of bamboo strips and thatched
with palm leaves. All parts are firmly
lashed together with strips of rattan
PALM a very tough vine, used by the
natives in place of ropes. 1t is not a
large house, though 1t sometimes con-
tains several rooms, but it is safe and
a secure retreat for the women and
children in case of a sudden attack by
hostile tribes.
The house is reached from the ground
by long ladder or inclined plane, made
of woven Vines. In case an enemy ap
pears the ladder is drawn up, and the
man and his family and the pig are
safe within the house. The elevation
not only secures the household from
wild beasts and from the ants that
roam the country, seeking what they
may devour, but also from disease
germs, whio1, like those of yellow fH
Yer, do not rise above a certain level.
The breeze, too, rocks the house gently,
like cradle. and sets the fresh air
into circula 1on, making it delightfully."-
refreshing after the sultry heats below
If you should climb the long ladder
and peep in al the door, you would find
the family, perhaps, all asleeV or sit
ting about the floor eating yams, cocoa
nuts and bananas, and sharing them
with their pet pigs. parrotS or poultry.
You, would find there no pictures, toys
or playthings, such as even the poorest
children among us possess; no music
and no books; no furniture in the room,
not even a bed, and no mats on the
floor.
Many a tree-buit nest is constructed
with more art and is more comfortable
for the little ones who are born in 1t.
and is far prettier than the rude huts
of the wild men of New Guinea.

Y. M. C. A. SATURDAY LECTURE
A Trip Through Ireland by Thomas A. Bailey
of Cork

OF CORK
An enjoyable lecture entitled A Trip
Through Ireland, illustrated with stere-
opticon, was given last night in the audi
torium of the Young Mems Christian
association, by Mr.. Thomas A. Bailey of
Cork, Ireland. The hall, which holds $50
people, was nearly full. Altogether
about 200 slides were exhibited the tour
being taken from the south to the north,
all the principal towns and castles being
shown, the famous blarney stone not
excepted. Mr.. Bailey spoke at length
upon the persecution of the street
preachers in Ireland, about three years
ago, and also the way in which, by
united effort on the part of the preach
ers of the gospel, free religious speech
in the streets was obtained. Everybody
enjoyed the lecture, and vote of thanks
to Mr. Bailey for his interesting speech
was unanimously carried. Prof. Park
hill of Occidental college, ably assisted
with his stereopticon. The lecture was
given under the auspices of the Forward
Movement club, which has been provid-
ing a series of free lectures of this kind
every Saturday night for the past three
months, and 1t has decided to carry on
the series, which has been very success
full so far, as long as they are able to
do so.
Mr.. Bailey is prominent memper OF
the Y M. C. A. in Ireland, and is passing
through this country on his way to the
northwest province of British India.
where he will engage upon missionary
work among the natives. He intends to
visit the Yosemite valley in eight or ten
days, when he viii take the boat for
Honolulu from San Francisco From
that place he will leave for New Zea-
land, and thence to India. He is delight
u and the exceeding
ly hearty way in which he has been re-
ceiyed wherever he has gone.
