Germany is now and then unpleas- antly reminded of her political weak ness before the union as in the case of the city of Wismar. Wismar is a. sea- port in the duchy of Mecklenburg The Swedes took 1t during the thirty years war, but gave it as security for debt of 8, ,S00, 900 to Mecklenburg in 1909, with the option to redeem the pledge in a hundred years. The disagreeabla part of it is that if the King of Sweden does not choose to pay the money in 1908 he has the option of another hun- dred years grace. Germany may not erect Qualifications near the place. which is very annoying to her, as Wis mar is well adapted for a naval port. Germany will not, of course, allow Sweden to take possession of the place, but may have to pay good round sum.

 Even the athletic miss is taking bet ter care of her hands this summer than she formerly did. She wants them to be brown, but she gets them so without giving them hard usage. She is likely to wear gloves for rowing, and if she goes in for doing real boys work, dig ging among the flowers and roofing out ferns, she most carefully protects her hands with thick gloves. When she lies in the hammock, then she lets her hands be in the sun, and they say that she sometimes sits with her hands on the window sill. This treatment does not injure the delicate finishing of the nails or the texture of the skin, while the hand takes on beautiful meer- shaun color It has been found that the nut brown hand with perfect nails gleaming and rosy is in it's way as pret- ty as the delicate lily hand.

It is related that Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale went to get registered in Boston the other day, and a young man, who did not know who he was, told him to read a passage from the Constitution of the United States as a proof that he could read. Now, Dr.. Hale is very near-sighted, and had left his spectacles at home, and so his read ing was somewhat lame and uncertain. The young man, during the reading, looked at him in some disgust, and finally told him with provoking look, that if he had paid more attention to his books when a boy than he had base ball. he would now be able to read bet ter.

THE SAME OLD STORY.
A Trusted Banker Can't Tell His Money
From the Banks


From the Banks.
New York, Nov. 13.-Richard D. v.
Wood, for the past six years assistant
cashier of the Metropolitan National
bank lin liquidation since 1880, is wanted
ON the charge of appropriating $4,000 of
the banks funds. He is also said to have
used $4,000 belonging to his father-in-
law, John ]. Lawrence; $4,000 belonging
to his aunt, Mrs. Vim. Lawrence, and
a considerable sum belonging to his cous-
in, Jack Hart, of Sparkll, N. Y, with
whom he was associated in the livery
business. 1t is believed when the full
extent of Woods peculations become
known they will amount to a sum in thu
neighborhood of $780, 900.
1t was said today that no trace of the
man has been found but that the efforts
to catch him will be prosecuted with all
possible vigor.
When the bank failed in 1884 Wood was
paying teller and subsequently acted as
assistant cashier in winding up it's af-
fairs. He had exclusive charge of the
banks vaults and attended to all the
outdoor work. 1t is said he took advan-
tage of these facts to operate in the
stock market, and recently he always
went on the wrong side. Three months
ago Wood became i'll and being unable to
transact his business it fell into the
hands of his old friends in the Office
men who looked upon Wood as a brother
Then came the discoveries that opened
their eyes. Once or twice Wood sue
ceeded In getting down to the Office but
was too i'll to keep 1t up. One day the
vaults were opened and then 1t was
learned that securities had disappeared.
They have not since been traced

about 55 years old and has two sons and

ATKINSON Is OUT.

Odds Now Favor Clay as
the Winner.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 13.--Gov. .Atkinson's
withdrawal from the senatorial race was
announced in the democratic caucus
which met at 8 O'Clock this afternoon. A
letter from his friends to the Governor
was read and Mr. Meldrim, of Savannah,
stated that he was authorized to inform
the general assembly that the Governor
was out of the race. This practically
narrowed it down to Clay and Howell.
The Clay people claimed that they would
nominate their man on the first ballot,
but that ballot resulted: Clay, 81; How
ell, 54 Lewis, 1S; Garrard, II. r
but his friends put him back in today.
The second ballot, resulted: Clay, n;

THE CHRONICLES REPORT.


London, Nov. 13.-The Chronicle will
publish tomorrow what it claims to be
complete summary of the agreement re-
garding the Venezuelan question. The
article is entitled: Heads of proposed
agreement between Venezuela and Great
Britain for the settlement of the Vene-
zuela boundary question as agreed upon
between Great Britain and the United
States of America"
There are four heads.
Under the first the appointment of
an arbitration tribunal to determine the
boundary line Is provided for
Under the second head, provision Is
made for the appointment of five men,
bers, two to be nominated by the su-
preme court of the United States, two by
the supreme court of Great Britain, while
the fifth member is to be jurist selected
by the other members.
In 'the event of these four members
failing to agree upon the selection of the
fifth member, King Oscar, of Sweden and
Norway, will select him. The fifth mem
Der will be president of the tribunal, and
he may be adjoining of either the su-
preme court of the United States or the
similar court of Great Britain.
Under the third head, the tribunal is
directed to examine all the facts nee
essary to decide the controversy regard
ing the territory known to belong to the
United Netherlands and the kingdom of
0pdlH WHtH 1Ttdl DIitdI
Guiana.
Under the fourth head, it Is provided
that the arbitrators shall ascertain all
the facts necessary to arrive at proper
decision. They must be governed in
their finds by three short rules, the most
important of which provides a proscrip-
tion of fifty years. The arbitrators will
give effect to the rights of settlers. In
esta blishng the facts, the ordinary rules
of law shall prevail.
The agreement is dated Nov. u, 1896,
and is signed by Secretary of State Oh
ney and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the Brit
ish ambassador to the United States.
The Chronicle adds that the foregoing
will be the basis of the Anglo-V
Ian treaty.
Treating of the settlement of the Ven
ezuelan question the Daily News in its
issue tomorrow will comment upon GER
tain tory complaints that Lord Salisbury
clombed down from the position first
assumed by him, which was that there
was nothing to arbitrate" and also upon
the complaints of some French and Ger
man critics that Lord Salisbury has inn
properly exalted the United States. The
paper contends that there Is no doubt
that Lord Salisbury did climb down some
what, but that Secretary of State Olney
did likewise 1t adds that Lord Sails
bury has in no wise admitted the new
version of the Monroe doctrine, either
theoretically or formally, but that Mr..
Olney has succeeded to some extent in es-
tabishing 1t. 1t will be interesting,
the News concludes, TO see how far Mr..
Olney or his successor is willing to follow
up the step.

THE VENEZUELAN SQUABBLE
Is About to Be Settled-London Papers
Claim to Know Just How the
Matter Stands.

London, Nov. 13.-An alleged semi-offi-
cial statement on the Venezuelan ques-
ton which appears this evening bears evil
dence of being Identical with a dispatch
sent to a news agency from New York
under Washington date, which was
printed in the papers here this morning
The gist of the statement is that mis-
apprehension still appears to exist as to
the nature of the arrangement between
Great Britain and the United States for
the settlement of the Venezuelan frontier
AS Venezuela preferred to leave the nego-
tiations in the hands of the United States
Great Britain agreed with the latter upon
the conditions on which the question
would be arbitrated. An actual treaty
for this purpose will be concluded by
Great Britain and Venezuela, but the
previous agreement regarding the main
features entered upon by Great Britain
and the United States removes any pros
pect of serious difficulty arising in regard
to the terms of the treaty The state
ment that the finding of the arbitration
court must be completed early in Feb
ruary is unfounded. 1t Is scarcely to be
expected that decision will be reached
short of a year.

Ground Broken In Dallas, Texas, For the
st. Paul Sanitarium.
Dallas, Tex, Nov. 13.-Ground was to-
day broken for St Paul's Sanitarium, a
hospital to be erected under the auspices
of the Sisters of Charity of the Catholic
church, at cost of $15O,Oo0. The secur-
ing Of the hospital for Dallas was the
work of the physicians of the city. They
raised money among themselves and pur-
chased two full blocks of ground as a
site. The ceremonies today were wit
messed by fully 1000 persons. The Right
Rev. Bishop Dunn, formerly of Chicago,
threw the first spade full of earth. Be
sides the Bishop and local members of
the Catholic clergy, Sister Mary Bern
ard, of Atlanta, Ca, who will be the
mother superior to the institution, was
present All took turns at assisting in
breaking ground. The site for the hos
pital is three hundred and seventy three
by four hundred and sixty-one feet. The
building will front on Bryan, Hall and

as absolutely certain that the deal will
go through before the close of the present
month, and that when the history of the
transaction comes to be written, if it

A PLUCKY CONJURER.
He Displayed More Nerve Tian Did His
Volunteer Assistant.

He Displayed More Nerve Tsian Did His
Volunteer Assistant.
A very pleasant anecdote is told Of
Professor Anderson by Mr.. Arthur a
Beckett in his SCREEN Room Recollec-
tions. - He says the professor in his
great gun trick used to give one of the
audience a rife, some powder and a
marked bullet. The marksman was
then requested to load and prepare to
fire.
Thereupon the professor walked to
the end of the stage and invited the RI
fle,nan to shoot him. Then, after the
marksman had fred, he used to produce
the marked bullet, insisting that he
had caught it Oh plate. On one occa-
sion friend of mine, who was an ad-
mirable amateur conjurer, offered him
self as an assistant. He took the gun
and the ammunition and duly loaded.
It was the custom Of the professor to
give the bullet a final tap with his
wand to see that it was rammed down
properly, and this final tap, I have been
told, extracted the bullet This my
friend knew: and when the professor
offered his assistance he politely de-
clined. Anderson did not insist, but
coolly walked to the end of the stage
and called on., "Now, sir, take g good
aim at NE and fire
Ny friend hesitatcd, as he was we'll
aware that the gun he was holding was
really loaded. ''Fire, sir, fre!" cried
the professor.
Ny friend lowered the weapon, and,
saying he could not let it off, returned
it to Anderson, who Immediately, un-
der pretense of seeing whether it had
been properly loaded, extracted the bull
let. Then he gave the gun to some one
else. But before the rife was fired he
addressed the audience. Ladies and
gentlemen" said he, 'tthe person who
has just resumed his seat knew my trick
and foiled it. If he had fred, this prob
ably would have been my last appear
ance before you. But he hadn't suffi-
cient nerve to shoot me. %
When it dawned upon the house that
Anderson had risked his life rather than
confess himself beaten, the applause
was deafening. Ny friend told me that
he felt rather small and regretted his
penchant for practical Joking.
