TALKED OF INVADING AMERICA.

startling Statements Made by Grand
Duke Alexis at the Kiel Celebration.
From the Washington Post: The
naval officers who were with our white
squadron at Kiel tell some mighty in
teresting stories, "whin so dispoged"
as Sairy Camp might say. They were
IN intimate terms with princes and hob
nobbed with emperors and kings, who
for the time unloaded rank and were
free and easy with "the boys" Though
the officers are curiously reticent touch
ing what their foreign visitors talked.
about, two pretty significant stories
have leaked out. The German emperor
was an avowed admirer of the clean,
bew, white American ships, and liked
to visit them incognito-that Is, with
only an aid-de-camp or two along. One
day he was talking with a famous
young captain, who won his laurels be-
fore he was 20. Captain, see that
most of your country's war ships are
fast cruisers. What do you call them?
All, commerce destroyers, do you not?"
Yes, emperor" said the other. We've
been watching you on this side" the
emperor went on, "and we have come to
the conclusion that these ships are
built for a war with England. What
other nation has any commerce to de-
stroy?" There was a silence after this
for our captain had said more than he
intended. The Grand Duke Alexis was
also at Kiel. He is full Russian ad-
miral now, and the head of the Russian
navy. He was also a frequent visitor
to the Americans and, like all the other
notables, talked with the utmost frank
ness to our officers. One day. watch

wealth. the second, the absolutely in

r A VICTIM OF CIVILIZATION.

A Georgia Mayor who Let Man Get
Drunk for Old Times.
"Uncle Ike" as they call him in
Montezuma, has always been a queer
character, says the Atlanta Constitu-
ton. Years ago, as the story goes, he
lived up in the edge of Taylor county.
and every Saturday would come to town
to get drunk and have rousing time
with the boys. The old man finally
decided to emigrate to Texas, where he
remained several years and then re-
turned to his old place.
The old man looked sad and detected
when he was told that since his de-
parture Montezuma had become civil
lized enough to have sidewalks and
the telegraph. He couldn't believe it till
he went to town and saw it with his
own eyes and when he realized the
truth the old man wept like a child.
He hunted up the mayor and told him
that he was so years old and had no
hope of living through the winter. He
had come to town expecting to get
drunk, ride his old mule through sa-
looms and do considerable shooting and
yelling, and it saddened the mayors
heart to tell him that any such conduct
would result in his arrest. Tears were
falling down his aged cheeks as he
asked his official permission to ride
through just one saloon and shoot six
holes in the mirror behind the bar.
When he had to refuse it, he begged to
be allowed to gallop up and down the
street and shoot at glass insulators on
the telegraph poles. His honor couldn't
sanction that, either, but after discuss
ing the matter he made a compromise
with him. 1t was agreed that he might
stand on the public square and utter
a dozen old-time boots and then go and
get drunk, but there was to be no rid
ing or shooting.
Old Ike selected z o'clock in the even
ing as his hour, and the city marshal
was on hand to count his boots. The
first three brought everybody into the
street, and the next three started hall
the population out OF town. The last

got through the old man felt himself taI
| years younger. An hour later he was
blind drunk and by the mayors permis'
sion he was laid away on bed OF shaw
ings in carpenter shop.
The mayor didn't deny that It was
against the ordinance, and he certainly
had no legal authority to permit it, but
he wanted to make old Ike happy once
more and he was willing TO take tbs
responsibility.

from Alps TO Etna.
The government of Francesca Crispi
has sent the country back sixty years,
says Ouida in the Contemporary Re-
view. By him and through him all the
old instruments of torture are in use.
Spies fili the cities, detectives scour the
fields, informers listen to all speech,
public and private; literary clubs and
cooperative societies are arbitrarily
dissolved; packed juries condemn;
senal judges sentence; military courts
imprison civilians; civil courts judge
homicidal officers; time serving projects
deny the franchise to all independent
thinkers and manipulate the electoral
lists to suit their governments; lads as
they come singing through the country
anes are arrested IL the song is az lib
erty; little children writing in chalk on
the town wall are sent to prison for
torty-five days There is a reign of ter
ror from Alps to Etna, and the police,
armed to the teeth, swarm everywhere
and the prisons are crowded with inno-
cent citizens. The country has gone
back to the darkest and worst days OF
Austria and pSpal tyranny and the
name of the tyrant is ostensibly Hum

Of his rule. 1t is already stated that to
procure funds, nominally for Africa,
actually for the elections, confscated
church property, now state property, is
to be largely and without the consent
of parliament illegally sold. To any
Sne who cares for liberty and believes
it to be the sole moral hygiene of a ma
tion the state of Italy at the present
time is painful and humiliating.
Equally so to any unbiased English
thinker is the attitude Of the leading
English newspapers upon italian af-
iairs, which they continuously and sys-
Nematica1ly conceal or distort. 1t is
difficult, well-nigh impossible to make
the most intelligent Englishman com
prehend Italian public life. He is mis-
led by the surface semblance of his
awn institutions of monarchy, parlla
nent and electorate and he does not
comprehend the enormous unlikeness of
all these to his own caused by character
and custom.

Tae Number of Incinerations Growing
Steadily from Year to Year.

Tae Number of Incinerations Growing
Steadily from Year to Year.
The advocates in this country of ere
mating dead bodies will be somewhat
encouraged by the reports that come
from Paris of the number of incinera-
tions that took place there during the
first foIr months Of 1895. The number
Of incinerations that occur, either in
accordance with a previous request of
the person whose body is disposed of or
at the instance Of the representatives,
increases every year with great regu-
iarity, though not rapidly. According
to the statistics published by the Pre-
feet of Police, the number of crema-
tions that took place at the Pere La
chaise Cemetery from August, 1889, to
the end of April, 1895, were as follows:
1889, 40; 1890, 121; 1891, 1874; 1892, 159;
1893, 189; 1894, 216, and 1895 (four
months), IS. The furnace would conse-
quently often be idle were it not for
the remains from the hospitals, which
amount to from 1000 to $500 bodies per
annum. The apparatus employed is
that of NM. Toisoul and Fradet and
works by means of gas with recup-
orator. Incineratlons are accomplished
in an hour and quarter, and the cost
Of the combustible never exceeds three
francs per operation. Another ap-
paratus, invented by N. Fichet, has re-
Gently been inaugurated. The differ
ence between the two inventions lies
chiefly in the application Of oxide Of
carbon. In the contrivance devised by
M. Fichet the body is consumed by hot
air alone and does not come into contact
with gases. According to this method,
incineration takes place little more
rapidly than in the Toisoul furnace, but
the expense is greater by nearly quar-
ter as much.

third repetition of anything is gener-

when lost the third time is lost for
