BISMARCK.S SIRANGE COURSE.


In permitting his personal organ to dis
close state secrets of the highest import
ancc Prince bismarck may be actuateG
by proper and pardOnable desire to
vindicate the international policy of Ger
many under its first emperor, William |,
for which Bismarck was wholly or
largely responsible. He may feel that il
is necessary to the truth OF history as
well rs to his own fame FOR statesman
ship that these disclosures be made,
But il has been suggested that hostility
To his successor. Won Caprivi. has been
the melting motive with him, Il suggeS-
ton which if it could be verified would
reflect unlavorably upon the patriotism
as we'll as the Judgment of bismarck,
The world will be slow 10 believe how
ever. that that great man is capable o.
allowing personal hostility to carry him
so far away from the requirements OF
duty and propriety. In any event. how
ever. his course is strange and remark
able and ii is to be apprchendcd will
not increase his fame. lie has had rea-
son, unqucstionably, to feel that his
great services To Germany have not been
fully appreciated by the present EN-
peror. but this will hardly serve rs n
Justification for the disclosure of state
secrets that might lead to complications
more or less serious.
The reports that the government will
institute prosecutions of Bismarck. by
court martial or otherwise, probably
have no substantial foundation. We are
not aware what German law would
permit to be done in such n case, but it
would seem safe to assume that the GOV
eminent will not invoke the law against
the veteran statesman. 1t would he Il
mistake to do so and it might be Il
dangerous mistake, for bismarck still
holds the first place in the affections Of
the German people and it is more than
probable that there would be vigorous
resentment of anything that savored of
persecution toward him. The matter
may have still more interesting develop
ments or ii may turn out to be merely

Of his impressibe hearers have persuaded
themselves that it would be highly bene-

Bryan has been unfolding a policy OF isO-

KiPliNG'S SNAKE.
Showing the Force of an In-Ordered I'M
agination.


\ writer in McClure's Magazine tells
how he edited a paper in India with the
help of Rudyard Kipling, and he men
tions as Il side issue peril from snakes
which Kipling once underwent. The
danger of snakes in Lahore was real
enough, and the place was rich in sc0r-
pions. The person who tells the story
had been stung by a scorpion in bed one
morning, and Kipling aided him in the
afternoon in a scorpion hunt. They
found &c under the mating in the ver-
aDda outside the bedroom door, beside
a few centipedes, and put the lot into
a large tumbler, and filled it up with
whisky.
One day, when we were dressing in
the morning, l heard Kipling shouting,
and went into his room. His face was
pale with horror, and he was tightly
clasping one leg above the knee.
"There's a snake" he gasped, "inside
my trousers. and think I've got him by
the head. Put your hand up from be-
low and drag him out"
IObseryed that Kipling only Thought"
he had it by the head. and that really
its head might be at the other end, in
which case-but before l had finished,
I saw the horror in his face relax and
give place to a puzzled look succeeded
by fits Of laughter. Endeavoring to as
certain by the sense of touch whether it
was the head he was grasping, he had
discovered that itdid not really feel like
any part of a snake atall. In fact it had
q buckle. and he realized that his braces
had been dangling inside the garment
when he nut il on.

Plan Arranged by Chicago. Milwaukee
a st, Paul Road.

n st. Paul Road.
The employees of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul system, from high-sal-
sTied officers 10 switchmen, are ar
ranging the final details Of plan for
the retirement of old men and their
pensioning on half pay.
1t is proposed thateach man shall put
into pool one per cent. of his monthly
wages, and that after two years all
men who have been in the company's
services for 80 or more years may,
if they desire, retire on half pay, the
pension to be taken from the fund thus
created. The amount paid i'll wages by
the road is about Sl2, ,OOO. 900 yearly and
the fund at the end of its second year
Will amount to about S250,O00, which
has been figured out as ample to in
augurate the scheme. 1t is possible the
company may add TO this fund, and in
that case there will be added sick bene-
fit and disability funds, as the increased
receipts may warrant.
4 plan somewhat similar has been
for some time under discussion by the
Great Northern road and its employees,
differing, however, in detail! This
road proposes that the men drawing
only monthly salaries shall be assessed
ara shall pay 2h Per cent. of their
wages. to which the road shall add a
ike sum the whole forming complete
pension, sick, disability and accident
fund. The wage pay roll of tle Great
Northern on monthly scale is about
S4,OOO,O0c, and under this plan there
would be an annual fund Of about $500
00o This road has until the present
business depression is over laid by the
consideration Of the scheme, but in
tends to push it later.

LIQUOR FROM GAS BURNERS.
Device of Portland. Me-, Hotel 70
EvadinE the Prohibition Law.

Device of = Portland. Me-, Hotel for
Evading the Prohibition Law.
Everybody who visits Maine has a
different story to tell on his return of
his experience in getting drinks, says
the New York Sun. The champion
story is, perhaps, told by well-llnOwn
travelling salesman. He says thatwhen
he asked for drink at a Portland hotel,
he was shown into a room, which had
nothing in ii but table. on which were
pitcher of water and several tumblcrs,
and a few chairs.
Over the table was a chandelier, with
apparently half a dozen gas burners.
When the cocks were turned, however,
not gas. but liquor came out of the
burners, which were horizontal, on the
tips being unscrewed. From one burner
came whisky; from another, rum; from
another, gin. Each burners supply pipe
connected with a cask of some one Of
these liquors in the room above.
The man who tells this story says that
the Indictment papers against the hotel
in question for selling liquor would fill
a bushel basket, but none of them VIII
ever be brought to trial; at least, none
has been yet. Since adopting this de-
vice, the hotel has evaded detection.
