Greek who won the recent foot race from

ner Of this race. He has been treated as
a sort Of demigcd. All his sayings are
duly reported; he has been escorted in q
carriage by detachment of troops.
When he walks in the streets, crowds Of
respectable men and women follow, and
the king of Greece has not only shaken
hands with him, but both he and his
father have been invited to the palace.
Private individuals have given him
large sums of money; wine dealers, gro

been reported as having offered to shave

HOW BARON HlRscH DIED.
Alone and Helpless, the Man OF Millions
Met Ills End.

Met His End.
Baron Hirsch died Of syncope at 3
o'clock in the morning, at which hour
his means attracted the attention of the
occupants of the adjoining rooms. On
entering his bedroom they found that he
had already passed away.
He was staying at o Gyalla, near
Comorn, in Hungary, as the guest of
Herr EhrenfelA q landed proprietor,
whose hospitality he had accepted, as
the shooting box which he had project
ed on an estate he had purchased in
that neighborhood was still unfinished.
It was only last year, after the sale Of
ST. Johann, his largest estate in Aus
tria-Hungary, to Prince Hohenlohc,
that he bought the estate of o Gyalla,
which abutted on Herr Ehrenfelds
property. While his new shooting box
was under construction he was frequent
" the guest of the Hungarian primate,
Cardinal Vaszary, and of other neigh
bors, like the Ehrenfelds.
There was large company in the
house that night, and the baron was
very gay. Contrary to his usually very
frugal habits, he drank a good deal Of
champagne, responding to all the toasts
that were proposed. 1t was probably
this which brought on the apopletic at
tack that so suddenly ended in his
death. He went to bed at / O'Clock, and
when his meanings were heard it was
too late to render him any etfectual as
sistance Thus the millionaire bene-
factor of the entire Jewish nationality
died in strangers house, alone and
helpless, at q moment when for the first
time in his life he was in need of help
His health had not been good for
some years past, although he knew how
to keep up his martial appearance,
which resembled that of a cavalry Off
Ger rather than of a Jewish banker. But
his appearance was deceptive He visit
ed Carlsbad nearly every year, and
when he was there last he astonished
his acquaintance by abiding to his APP
preaching end.
Again, only few months ago, during
the sitting of the board of trustees for
his Galician foundation, he reverted to
the subject Of death, mentioning that he
had been studying the Austrian laws of
legacy and inheritance, and he COM
planned of the legacy duties being very
high-10 per cent. On some one remark
ing that that must be matter Of COM
parative Indifference to him, since he
had no direct heirs, the baron rather in
dignantly replied Chow do you know
that? My heirs are suffering humanity,
and 1 am thinking how TO make all my
foundations and charitable institutions
independent for the future by depositing
the capital sum for each OF them.
In the course of the same conversation
he mentioned that he would like to die
suddenly without illness, and in this his
wishes appear to have been almost lit
orally fulfilled. Letter.

Forced the Artist to Work.

The famous japanese painter, kyOsal,
worked only when he was in the mood,
and the most munificent offers failed to
induce him to accept commission IN
less the spirit moved him. One of his
admirers, Mr.. Kato Shoyo of Hongo.
had vainly attempted to induce the way
ward artist to begin painting for him.
Kyosai would not bulge. Kato there
upon devised and put into execution a
novel plan. He bought a spurious Kake-
mono, or hanging picture - When
next the artist paid him visit, this
was produced and Landed to the skies.
Kato declared that the daub was the
greatest masterpiece of Kyosai' s slzillful
hands. In vain the indignant painter
protested that it was worthless coun-
terfeit. Finally he rushed away in c
rage, while Kato rubbed his hands at
the success Of his ruse
Confident of the result, Kato invited
some friends for the following evening
and related to them the device he was
employing. They waited for the advent
of Kyosai, and at last, but not until the
small hours Of the morning, be appear
ed. He held a roll in his hand, Rake
mono, on which was depicted a falcon
in the act of clutching monkey. This
he threw toward the host, at the same
time asking i'll an angry voice whether
Kato still persisted in attributing tho
other picture to him. The collector, de-
lighted with the success of his plan and
with the vigor and beauty of the draw
ing he had now obtained, apologized to
Kyosai and explained the trick. The
painters brow was quickly cleared Of
its dark clouds, and in turn he confessed
that he had been working day and night
in order to produce a picture that should
vindicate his talents. - Manchester

cess Frederick took the part of maid
servant. The extremely realistic way in
which she portrayed a vulgar young
woman moistening and polishing a

the king himself, who said, I'VE are

then royal princess ought not to play
so exactly the manners of a maid. -

The Kaiscr's Begging Letters.

The emperor of Germany has received
recently SO many letters from children
begging for presents of various kinds
that he has issued through the minister
of instruction an order TO the public
schoolteachers to discourage the writ
ing of such letters by pupils, except in
cases of necessity. In one mail, few
days ago, his majesty received four let
tiers from Berlin school children. One
wished a new violin TO take the place
of her old one, two desired sewing ma
chimes, and Il fourth asked 1.-THE dear
Herr Kaiser to give her 20 cents TO
buy coal His majesty sent one of his
officers TO see the various families be-
fore answering the requests.
The child who wished money for coal
was found to be the daughter of widow
who had little or nothing. A large load
of coal was sent to her, as well as a
present in money. The musical child
was ordered to a professor who was TO
give her lessons, and if she showed
talent she was to receive the new violin.
One of the children who asked for the
sewing machine was found TO belong to
q well to do family. She was told not
to repeat her offense. The other little
one, however, received a promise of
sewing machine ON condition that, when
she finished her schooling, her record
proved her to be deserving Of present
from her emperor. William III might
deplete his purse if he undertook to re-
ward all petitioners so literally as these
three. Berlin Correspondence.

THE TARIFF AND BUSINESS.
Republicans Dealing Unfairly with thu
People.

Republicans Dealing Unfairly with tho
People.
The Canton correspondent of the New
York Tribune writes that Maj. Nc
Kinley believes in a protective tariff,
and thinks the revision of the existing
revenue law the first step toward pro-
curing a perfect restoration of conf
dence in the commercial world. The
men who have been invited to confer
with him on this subject say that his
conversation is an inspiration, and that
his ideas about tariff revision are so
broad, so clear, so just, and at the SINE
time so exact and SO freighted with the
wisdom of long practical experience,
that they inevitably sink deep into the
minds of the listeners and give definite
form to the purposes of those whose
task it is to grapple with the tariff at
Washington"
It is pity that Maj. Mckinley does
not say in public what he tells those
who are invited to confer with him.
The public needs inspiration, and the
lack of knowledge as to the exact ideas
of Mckinley on tariff legislation is pro-
ducing feeling of anxious uncertainty
in business circles. Business needs in
spiration, and it cannot come too quick
Iy For our own part we belive that a
public announcement by Mckinley
that he approved the suggestion of
President Cleveland that the present
tariff be permitted to stand trial I'M
der the new conditions would be a real
inspiration. The New York Herald
says:
1.-The mere suggestion that there may be
an extra session of congress TO again rip
I'D the tariff has sent q chill through the
country and checked the advance which
started when the victory for sound money
was won. The caution now displayed by
Industrial and commercial circles is based
on good grounds"
The republicans justify the tariff rip
ping crusade by declaring that the St.
Louis platform demanded protection,
and the people voted for the St Louis
platform. This is ingenious, because
there was never a national platform SO
completely smothered and repudiated
by the declarations of candidates, news
papers and party orators as was the
republican platform of 1896. It is with
in the bounds of reason to say that if
the republican campaign had been con
Quoted upon its platform McKinleys
election would be jeopardized. The
St. Louis platform was kept in the
background, and for Mckinley and his
party to assume that the people vdted
for something that was swept out of
the canvass at the beginning is scarcely
dealing honestly with the people
