TOO EXPENSIVE.
Probable Disruption of the North
eastern Saengcrlunl.

IrOOaOle nl1ruptlOn Oh the NOrtu-
eastern Saengcrbund.
Philadelphia, June 25. - There was
considerable excitement among the
German singing societies over the ru-
NOR that several of the large societies.
of New York and Brooklyn would
probably withdraw from the North
eastern Saengerbund. AS reported,
the dissatisfied societies included in
the Arion. Liederkranz, Eichenkranz
and possibly Beethoven Mannaerchoir
Of New York, and the Arion of Brook
lyn. What the recalcitrants are al
legged to object to is the expenses Of
training choruses and sending large
delegations to the triennial tests. Pres
ident Leonhart, of the United Singers
of Philadelphia, stated that the Arion
of Brooklyn had proposed to withdraw
but that since the City of Churches
had been selected as the next meeting
place the members of that society had
partly withdrawn their objections, and
he felt assured that the Arion would
continue member of the bund.

Reports from all the large towns
where General Weyler has congregated
helpless Cubans to starve them to
death show that the mortality is in
creasing rapidly. In some sections half
Of the concentrates have died; in 9TH
ers Is to IS per cent has been the death
rate. Riots are occurring in several of
the larger towns and only the guns of
the Spanish soldiers have kept the
pacificos from general outbreak. They
are SO desperate that they woulI about
as readily be shot down as 20 take the
chances of starving to death. Spanish
officials at the palace deny the great
victory Of General Garcia at Manza-
uillo.

THE PARIS HORROR.
Police satlsaed That It Was the
Work Of Anarchists:

Police Satisfied That It Was the
Work Of Anarchists:
Chicago, June %. = The Post says:
According to a story which has reach
ed Chicago from Paris win Washing
tou, the terrible holocaust which wiped
out over one hundred lives at the
French capital May 4, was the work of
anarchists, thirsting for revenge on the
upper classes of France. 1t is claimed
that while the official inquiry into the
circumstances surrounding the catas-
trophe threw little light on the cause
of the fire, the secret service depart
ment is working on clew that points
to an anarchist conspiracy of stupen-
dous magnitude. 1t is said the Paris
detectives have not only satisfied
themselves that anarchists were at the
bottom Of the awful crime, and that
the leaders who planned 1t fed to
America as soon as they had seen with
what frightful success it had been ex-
ecuted. 1t Is also asserted that sew
eral persons are under arrest in Paris
on the suspicion Of knowing more of
the affair than they a1e willing to tell.
A member Of the French legation at
Washington Is said to be authority for
the stoly.
Washington, June 25. - The officials
Of the French embassy here refuse to
impart information concerning any
connection that the anarchists may
have had with the holocaust of the
early part of May. M. I4eFavre, the
first secretary Of the embassy, said
that there had been no communication
received from his government looking
to the apprehension of the alleged
leaders Of the outrage, who, 1t is said,
have fed to America.

The testimony Of the most noted
of modern gamblers as to the profits
of his occupation should be regarded
~ good evidence. It goes long way
toward destroying such false state
ments as are contained in silly news
paper stories Of wealth easily got at
the gaming-table. This modern game
ster of worldwide notoriety said:
"Show me gambler with bank ac-
count. Show me one with a bit of
real estate. You can't do it. II I had
the money I wouldn't scour the earth
for games to play. I'd stay right
here"

"A French physician has invented a
method by which he says iron can be
given in large doses. Hens, he noticed,
have powerful internal organs. They
can digest considerable quantities of
iron, and then render it back, through
the albumen of their eggs, in form
which is easily digested by the weaker
stomach of mankind. So he feeds his
hens with what he calls "a very alb
sorbent salt Of iron," mingled with
grains of wheat, and they lay eggs ex-
tremely rich in iron already digested.

A late scrap Of scientific informa-
ton is to the effect that a single bee,
with all its industry and energy, col
lects only a teaspoonful Of honey in a
season. The scientific statistician,
however. fails to tell us what is to be
expected of the married bee, who is
supposed to have greater incentive
to labor hard and increasingly. Come
to think Of it, though. the married
bee, unlike the married man, has
things dead easy. He does not have to
work.

The "war-chest' Of Germany is kent
in the fortified city Of Spandau. Here
is deposited coined gold equivalent to
thirty million dollars, instantly avail
able for military purposes. 1t is un-
derstood that Great Britain and France
are even more richly supplied with
ready money. although neither of
these countries keeps its treasure in
q "war-chest." Italy, on the other
hand, has very little. and her people
are taxed to the verge Of starvation
that that little may be kept untouched.
Russia has been chronic borrower,
partly to supply fund of which no
one outside Of Russia knows the ex-
tent. It has been asserted, possibly
with some exaggeration, that Germany
could put two million men into the
field. fully equipped. within ten days
after hostilities began. On a war foot
ing the German, Russian and French
armies would number, each, more thai
three million men; the Italian and
Austrian about two millions each. To
support such multitudes would soon
empty any war chest" A country
like Germany, whose public debt is
only about ten dollars per capita
Italy's debt is almost eighty dollars
for each inhabitant-could resort to
taxation, and by various means with
stand a long strain. But it staggers
imagination to dwell upon the burdens
that protracted war would lay upon
the unhappy subjects of the BANKRUPT
nations.

one.seventh the Catholics pay forty
millions for the education of their chill
dren in their own schools. The entire
address was q denunciation of the pub
