Contrary to tho custom of most mon.
archs, Emperor William III of Germany
has never allowed his efiigy to be en-
grayed upon postage stamp, and philat-
elists and the world i'll general have
wondered at the modesty i'll this respect
of the young kaiser, who usually is not
averse to having his features displayed
before the eyes of his admiring subjects.
No direct and authentic reason has been
given why tho Prussian black eagle has
not been long ago replaced by the kali
ser's effigy, but perhaps an explanation
may be found in the etrain of supersti-
tion which more than once has infiu-
onced the action of the Hohenzollerns
The Prussian stamps issued from 1850
to 1858 bore the image of Frederick
William " But the year before no be-
came legally insane he had it replaced
with the black eagle, for he could not
bear to sec his countenance soiled and
multilated by the postoffice employees
a few years ago an onterprising Berlin
manufacturer had lead pencils made,
upon which was stamped bias relief

ucation Mt once ordered schoolteachers

A Gold Cannon.

A cannon made OF solid gold, mount
ed upon carriage OF rosewood, inlaid
with costly gems, is the unique baublt
OF warfare that has come into the pos
session of the Imperial army OF Berlin
As a valuable acquisition TO the arma
ment Of the Kaiser's own soldlery this
unique field piece Is more interesting
than terrible. No other army In thu
world can boast of field cannon 81
beautiful and so costly. This singular
gun was presented TO the Berlin army
by the managers of the Hamburl
Museum, In whose keeping it has been
for two centuries. Guns of this sort
are not produced today. and war Is
made with cannon that is more effec
tive In its destructive powers than
pleasing to the aesthetic taste. Tho
outward appearance of this monster
jewel is most delicate in workmanship
1t is valued at $4,000, though. as \
matter OF fact, 1t could not be pur
chased for twice that amount
money. The liveliest interest in thii
marvellous military engine has beea
evInced by Emperor William and he
has ordered special guard to ba
placed over the precious cannon
which, for two days in the week, is OF
view to curious Berliners and tn,
strangers within the German capitals

THE BowERY QUEEN.

Miss Opp was educated in the public
schools and soon after her school days
began the study of acting. As a child
she played in benefit at the Academy
Of Music, and like many other children
she had designs on the stage. She en-
loyed the friendship of James Collier,
he actor, who told her as child that
she was well qualified for success on
the stage.
AS she grew older she had some
temporary hesitatlons concerning the
stage as career. For n short time
she wrote for the magazines, and had
considerable success. She did this. not
from any need of money, for Johnny
Opp was well-to-do, and nothing in
ife gave him greater pleasure than TO
supply funds to his clever daughter.
Two years ago Miss Opp went to
london, where she had an opportunity
10 meet many people, fashionable or
otherwise distinguished. She was
stlll occupied with her magazine writ
ng. Among others, she met the late
George du Maurier. and Mrs. Beer
)ohm Tree, both of whom agreed that
She was we'll fitted for the stage and
would make an admirable Trilby.
After that she returned to New York
and tried TO ascertain what opportu-
lities the stage offered her here.
Charles Frohman promised her an en-
yagement in the fall. but before that
season arrived she paid second visit

ler mere presence In such a company
IS great success, for Alexander is
making his reputation by the general
excellence of his players. Among her
colleagues are Julia Nelson. young
Henry Irving and Dorothea Baird
There Is now no doubt that Miss Opp
will have more important part IN the
lext production.
The Alexanders belong TO the small
hut growing class OF English actors
who are received in fashionable So
ciety. Miss Opp has had all the help
they could give but she has rapidly
