Emperor William delivered an Grafton,
in the course of which he said:
you have just taken an oath upon
crucifiXes and the standard to me, your
war lord, and to the Fatherland. Just
as the crown is naught without the altar
and the crucifix so the army is nothing
without the Christian religion. You are
called as soldiers in my keeping to serve
me In single-minded allegiance Ever
remember you have received your
weapons to protect the crown and altar
In view of the general mistrust now pre-
vailing it is especially your duty by
obedience always to set a good example.
You are entering the army in the
year we celebrate as the centenary of
the birth of the great Emperor William.
Never forget what he accomplished.
We are in duty bound to maintain what
he created. His eye rests upon the
whole army. God grant that at the cal!
of heaven we may appear worthily be-
fore him."
The Daily Mails Berlin dispatch says:
1.-THE following words, held to indicate
his personal feelings on the recent Brus-
WITT incident at Carlsruhe, occurred in
Emperor Williams spec L: Hold your
uniform in honor. The man who insults
your coat insults your king; who as
saults the kings coat assaults your
chief war lord"
The Bruswitz incident, it will be re"
membered, was that of German army
officer who ran through the body work
man who had inadvertently brushed

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. ia large
crowd filled Commissioner Fairchilds'
office today to hear the testimony of
Mrs. George Sternaman in her own be-

most remarkable document was sub
mitted by her to the court. 1t was a
written statement. signed by her dead
husband and which Mrs. Sternaman de-
clares was drawn up and signed three
days before her husbands DEATH The
document is addressed ITO all whom /;
may concern" and in part reads as fol-
lows:
Il, George Sternaman, have had very
peculiar attacks at times during the
past six mouths, and of which no one
but my wife and a few relatives know
anything about l write this to staN
that if L should die whilst in one OF
them, that no person can say it was
caused by her hands in any way that |
died. 1 have never had doctor, be.
cause / always came out all right
Il hope that what l have written will
convince all that they may not think
my wife had anything to do with such
an uncommon death"
Mrs. Stearnaman said that this state
ment had been drawn up because she
had heard some talk of her former hus-
band dying of poison. The case was

small percentage of our voting popula

illiteracy among them and hence more

AN AWFUL DEFICIT.
Bank Opposite Guaranteed by the Leg
stature of Queensland

BRISBANE, Nov. 12-The govern
mcat committee Of inquiry into the
state of affairs of the Queensland bank
reported IA deficit of GO 1852 900, of which
G1,1S3.000 is reported as lost beyond
recovery. The committee, however, re-
ported that the bank has a sound and
profitable business and it was claimed
that with economy and a reduction OF
the rate of interest paid to depositors.
the management ought to be able to
cxtinguish the remainder of the deficit,
amounting to little more than Giles
000 within fourteen years. Liquidation,
it was asserted, would be disastrous to
the creditors in particular and the col
ony of Queensland in general. After
hearing the report, the colonial leglsla
ture adopted a bill guaranteeing the
current deposits for one year.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Accordng to a

Gibbons, as well as Archbishop Ireland

The cardinal has always shown himself
a staunch friend of Archbishop Ireland
and is known to sympathize warmly

For this reason, ii is alleged, he has be-
come persona non grata at the vatican.
How the cardinal will be disciplined is
not definitely known, although it is be-

be removedf rom his see. This much.
