THE KAISER AND Mr.. FIRTH.
Small Princes First Attempt at
Painting Was Disastrous.


Although Prof. knackfuss is usually
credited with assisting the kaiser in
the production of his surprising pic
lures, the German monarch owes his
earliest introduction to the mysteries
of art to an English painter, says the
London Chronicle. The first time the
kaiser handled brush was at Wind
sor, when Mr.. Firth was painting the
picture of the prince of Wales mar
riage for the queen. All the royal per-
sonages gave sittings to the artist and
the kaiser, then little four-year-old
prince, spent several mornings in the
room where the picture was being
painted To keep the child quiet Mr..
FIRTH gave him some paints and brushes
and allowed him to dabble on one of the
unfinished corners of the canvas.
As a natural result of this very in
judicious proceeding the princes face
was in very few minutes covered with
streaka of green, blue and vermilion.
The sight of his smeared face terrified
his governess, who begged the artist
to remove the colors; and Mr.. Firth,
armed with rags and turpentine, had
nearly completed his task when the
pungent spirit found its way into
scratch upon the child's cheek. The
future kaiser screamed with pain, as
saulted the eminent painter with his
fists and hid himself under n large
table, where he yelled until he was
tired. Mr.. Frish declares in his "Rem-
iniscences" that the little prince
showed a most unforgiving spirit and
revenged himself afterward by sitting
so badly that the painter failed alto
gether to produce a satisfactory like
ness.

"JIope springs eternal in the human

quently hired to take him out fishing.
This worthy was possessed of unusual
intelligence, pretty wit, and had a
reditablc knowledge of current politics,
but he took a pessimistic view of the
state Of the country.
On the money question he had
thought long and deeply and had de-
veloped a system OF his own for carry
ing on the financial affairs of the ma
ton. He had eccentric and original
views on the civil service, and in regard
to foreign matters he outjingoed the
jingoes.
The ideas and views of this fisherman
were so radically opposed to the ideas
and views of the man who represents
that region in the senate that it was
IN invariable surprise to the visiting
lawyer when he wound up his remarks,
as he always did:
"Wal, they amt no sorter use in
botherin' my head bout these things

A North Pole Theory.

Some II years ago stated my belief
from a geological standpoint, that cleo

scientists ever madc the discovery of the

open sea vast bed of mineral, the home

Brought Out Nothing New.

Brought Out Nothing New.
Frankfort, KY, April 13.A-Today's
joint session for senatorial balloting
was as spiritless as the beginning.
The democrats of both factions and the
anti Hunter republicans all refrained
from answering either to the prelim-
mary rollcall or to that for ballot,
the result being exactly the same as
the one yesterday, except as to the
number of votes received by Hunter.
Jones moved to adjourn, but the Re
publicans resisted by vote of 81 noes
to no yeas, and the assembly refused
to adjourn. The president ruled that
a call of the house was the only thing
in order, except the motion to adjourn
just voted upon.
The motion for a call of the house
was made, but there was no second
and the m mbers sat mute.

Scout the Idea of suioIde.

OAKLAND CAL, Jan. 25.-Mrs. Nord-
hausen and Charles Heeseman, nephew of
G. c. Nordhausen, returned home tonight
after visiting St. Lukes Hospital
"The stories of attempted suicide are
absolutely without foundation" said Mr..
Heeseman tonight. "Mr. Nordhau sen
went to San Francisco Saturday to meet a
party that was to accompany him to
Randsburg, where he was to have gone
to-day. He only returned from Rands-
burg last week, where he has a large ousi-
ness interest, which has proved a very
successful venture. He was TO return to-
day and was at the Baldwin, where he
always stays when across the bay. l saw
him and talked a long time with him to-
day, and he assured me that he had no in
tention whatever OF taking his life. He is
q stranger to firearms and never carried
them in his life till he went to Randsburg.
His financial standing is good and his
home relations are the most pleasant, and
/ am convinced that the whole affair was
an accident. 1t is only flesh wound, and
had he contemplated suicide he would
never have inflicted such wound as he
is suffering from. The proprietor of the
Baldwin Hotel assured me that there is
not a particle OF truth in the story that
the gas in his room was turned on.
T.. 4. NorunauSen Is one OF the most
active business men in this City and a
director OF the Board OF Trade.
He came to this city from the South in
1876 and two years later he and his
brother, Ernest A. Nordhausen, opened a
small store on Broad way, between Fifth
and Sixth streets, which they conducted
until 1885, when they moved to Eleventh
street and Broadway. This latter store is
still conducted by a nephew, Charles +.
Heeseman.
When Ernest Nordhausen died last
