stein, the German FOrger.
Berlin, June 27. The Supreme Court of
the Empire. sitting at Leipzig. has rejected
the appeal OF Baron Won Hammerstein, for
mcrly leader or the Conservatives in the
Reichstag and editor -in-chiPf of the Kreuz
Zeitung. nom the sentence imposed upon
him by the Berlin court upon his conviction
of forgery on April % last.
The sentence or the court was that he be
imprisoned for three years at hard laboi,
that he forfeit his civil rigntS for five years
and tha he pay Il fine Of 200 marks.
This sentence was regarded by both his
friends and enemies alike as being one OF
extreme severity. II having heen expected
tina inasmuch as Hammersten humhly con-
fessed his errors and avoided ma king dis
closures which would have involved many
of his former associates who are still in
high places, he would escape tile ignOminy
of Cunvict labor and receive a sentence OF
simple imprisonment, and the case was
promptly appeal ed, with the result as
announced today.
As nothing further can be done in Hammer.
STEMS behalf that once influential editor
i.u,, powerful ! Oiiticai leader will have
TO don convict garb and begin his term of
penal servitude IA once.
Baron Won Hammerstein became involved
in bitter political quarrels, in the course of
which the fact WAS made public that he was
guilty OF acts Of forgery and embezzl ement
for which he should be prosecuted

nese Thibet.
 An amusing story is told of the Eng fish officer who determined to enter Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man. aged to cross the frontier at night, and so escaped the guard.
 On the following day, however, while the officer was journeying deeper into Thibet, the Thibetan soldiers overlook him, and informed him that as the country was unsafe because of rob- bers, they would go with him in order to protect him, to which arrangement the traveller was compelled to agree. In a few hours they came to a river, which was crossed by rope bridge.
 The Thibetans passed over first, in or der to show that the bridge was safe, and then the official got into the moose and was pulled along by the Thibetans, Suddenly, however, they ceased pull ing, and left the Enghshman hanging in midair above the rushing torrent.
 In vain the officer shouted to the Thibetans to pull. They merely smoked and nodded their heads. The hours passed, and still the officer hung above the torrent. At last the Thibetans agreed to pull him back if he would leave Tibet immediately. This, of course, he was compelled to do, and took his departure from the forbidden land.

A Patheticany Humorous Story Told of
 Cumberland Mountain Fafiner.
 A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells a pathctically humorous story of a friend of his, Jack Negly, Cumber' land farmer. The writer had lent Jack a few dollars, with which to buy pair of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying dl1. ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an enureiy new field, a dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months. When l did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-feld and came out to the fence
 Hello" I exclaimed. ''Is this your farm?"
 'Yes, and I jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long.
 "You must be doing well?''
 q think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel. fer headin' me this way.'
 "Im always glad to help, if l can." T knowed that, colonel, and that's why I come away over here so fer rum home Hit,s kinder strange to me- but ez long ez I'm doin' ez well ez I am I'm a-goin' to stand hit
 Are you making any money?"
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly. ''No, ain't, colonel" he replied, hope fully; "but I'm 1osin' it slower'n ever done in my life afore.''
 It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness.

ANOTHER ICE PERIOD.
A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus
 of Panama.


 'eThe best scientific authorities pre- dict dire effects from the cutting of canal through either the Isthmus of Panama or Tehuantepec. The late George R. Marsh said of this that "a new ice period might be occasioned by the withdrawal of so important source of warmth from the northern zones, and Sir John Herschel wrote: Were the Isthmus of Panama broken through there is no doubt that the whole climate of our island Great Britain) would un- dergo most notable deterioation.' The sum of $9,000,000 has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- tenn; the Hennepin canal has had $1,- 100000 spent on it, and work has stopped until new appropriations can be made. Matt Quay is using his influence for the construction of a ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost SIG, ,00G,0 ,000, and a ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the eX- penditure of $50 100000 in canalizing the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. One of the most stupendous of these engineering works is the Chicago drainage canal, now in progress, which is to cut the divide which bars the way between Chicago and the Mississippi river. The distance is only 30 miles between Lake Michigan and the Illinois river, and one can easily see the startling nature of d union of the great lakes and the father of waters.'"

 Naval Superiority.

How was it that kalf an island over which Queen Elizabeth ruled developed into the worldwide empire over which Queen Victoria reigns? First and fore most, says Blackwood's Magazine, it must be referred to the qualities of the race, their energy and adventurous spirit, their capacity to colonize, to rule subject races, and to administer their affairs. That race was sprung of sue cessive seafaring invoders of these is lands who were trained for generations in the arduous defense of these shores. and taught to achieve naval superior ity as a necessity of their position.
