Not Tall Enough.


Just at the time when vague reports
were beginning to creep abroad that
Germany was meditating fresh extern
sion of her frontier at the expense of
Holland a Dutch official of high rank
happened to be visiting the court OF
Berlin, and among other spectacles got
up to amuse him review was organized
at Potsdam.
what does your excellency think of
our soldiers?" asked Prince Bismarck as
one Of the regiments came marching
past in admirable order.
"They look as if they knew how to
fight, replied the visitor gravely, ''but
they are not quite tall enough"
The prince looked rather surprised,
but made no answer, and several other
regiments filed past in succession, but
the Dutchman's verdict upon each was
still the same, "Not tall enough"
At length the grenadiers of the guard
made their appearance-a magnificent
body of veterans, big and stalwart
enough to have satisfied even the giant
loving father of Frederick the Great,
but the memorable critic merely said,
"Fine soldiers, but not tall enough.
Then Prince Bismarck rejoined ::
"These grenadiers are the finest men in
our whole army. May 1 ask what your
excellency is pleased to mean by saying
that they are not tall enough?"
The Dutchman looked him full in the
face and replied, with significant en-
phasis, Il mean that we can flood our
country 12 feet deep London Tit

ENGLAND WANTED WAR.
Held Back From Fighting France In 1898
by the German Emperor.

Held Back From Fighting France In 1898
by the German Emperor.
The Gaulois, in Paris, recently re-
lated in considerable detail that during
the Siamese imbroglio of 1898 England
was on the verge of declaring war
against France. The power that opposed
the war most vigorously was Germany.
In fact, said the Gaulois, the war was
prevented by the German emperor.
cat that time" said the Gaulois,
Emperor William was at Cowes with
his yacht. He had won regatta prize
from Lord Dunraven S Valkyrie and the
Prince of Wales Britannia. He appear
ed, literally as we'll as figuratively, to
swim in English waters. 1t was as he
sat at dinner in the house of the Royal
Yacht squadron that he received from
Count Hatzfeldt the news that the Eng
lish government intended to declare war
against France. The emperor rose from
the table, laid aside his napkin and sent
a dispatch empowering his ambassador
in London to protest against Lord Rose
bery's programme. Moreover, he be-
took himself at once to Osborne House
to announce to his grandmother that he
never could approve such a course as re-
CARDS Siam.
Sometimes Paris newspapers publish
articles on European politics that lack
all foundation in fact. and the amazing
story told by the Gaulois might have
been dismissed as one of them had it
not been confirmed at once by the Koel-
nische Zeitung, probably the most trust
worthy journal on the European CONT
nent The Koelnische Zeitung's Paris
correspondent was at Cowes with the
emperor in 1898 AS soon as the eau
lois had made it's statement he corrobo-
rated it. Among the influential English
men at Cowes, he said, it was then
common talk that the German emperor
was England's ally against Siam and
France Lord Dufferin, then English
ambassador in Paris, had come to Cowes
to conclude the negotiations for an ALI
ance, but had been met with the emper-
or's blunt refusal to take the active part
that England wished to assign him. The
Koelnische Zeitung's correspondent as
serts that the correctness of this state
ment is absolute and beyond question
among the initiated who were at Cowes
during the German emperor's sojourn
there.

A Crusher.

An amusing story is told of the crown
princess of Italy, who excited so much
interest during her recent visit to Lon
don. The Montenegrin royal family is
one of the oldest i'll Europe, but also one
of the poorest, and the court is not large.
When Princess Helene arrived in Rome
distinguished lady in waiting tried to
patronize her, but the crown princess
effectually put stop to this at once
Your royal highness must find the
court life a great change. The etiquette
and stiffness must be very novel to your
royal highness, " was the remark made
but the princess replied, with sang froid,
"On the contrary, think it is wonder
full how well things are done at court
demonstrating it is SO very new.

FAMILY DISPUTES.
How They Were Once Settled by Fair

How They Were Once Settled by Fair
Fight In Court.
In some parts of Germany, when the
relations of husband and wife become
strained, SO to speak-in other words,
when each returning day gives birth to
new squabbles and the mans hand is
as ready as the womans tongue-the
couple were brought before the magis-
trate, who, after listening to recrimina-
tions, ordered them to prepare for the
ordeal by battle The man was placed
in cask, which was then nearly filled
with sand, SO that he was covered up to
the waist. In some towns a pit was
kept handy for the purpose, just as the
ducking stool was kept on Bankside, op-
posite St Paul's When he was thus
half buried. the man received a short
stick for his right hand, while his left
hand was tied up across his chest He
was thus one armed and could only de-
liver his blows if his opponent came
near enough.
The lady put on linen garment, the
right sleeve of which was heightened.
In the end was tied up a stone. The
sleeve projected about IL inches beyond
her hand. She had thus a formidable
weapon, but in order to use it she had
to get close to the enemy Now observe
the situation end the chances. If she
succeeded in bringing the stone down
upon her husbands head, she might
knock him senseless; she might even
brain him, but in order to do so she
would expose herself to the full blow Of
his stick. The battle might. in fact be
settled by single assault But mark
the craftiness of man. 1t was better to
make woman ridiculous than to knock
her silly The husband, therefore, if he
was a philosopher, did not try to hit
his wife; he warded her blows with his
stick He tried to catch the sleeve upon
his stick; then the stone flew round and
round and the lady was caught. She
could not move, and the victorious hus-
band dragged her unwilling head first
into his cask. Queen.

ELEVEN HANDS or POKER.

I the great game of poker that mako it 50
/ popular with most Americans Systems
and the law of average do not seem -
obtain as much in the play OF this game
Us they do in most other games Of chance
and skill This point never was more
strikingly illustrated than il was one
night not long ago i'll the short space of
| half an hour
The game is a regular institution ON
one of the late suburban trains out of
New York. The first stop that is made
by this train is exactly 80 minutes after
the train leaves New York The game
always starts ON time, and the cards are
gathered up and the players jump off
usually as the train begins to get head
way after the first stop
This explanation is necessary to fully
appreciate the array of hands that makes
the real point of this story. One player
with good memory held in the 80
minutes play the following hands, with
these results:
-Four aceS-won, of course.
Five full on aces-beaten.
One flush-beaten-
One straight-beaten.
Three aces-beaten.
-Four sets of aces up-all beaten
Three sevens-beaten.
Queens up-won.
Jacks up-won-
Tens up-won.
Mines nm on fOurS-heaton
In this really remarkable collection
of IL hands only 4 of them were win
ners, and yet the man who held them
says that he came out even. He got
scared on his five full and on his flush
and just called. He lost considerable on
his three aces, but he won more on his
queens up that he held only once than
he did on his four aces His jacks up
Melted him more than any other hand,
for he had them pat and played them so
on the opening of fat jack pot
The five full was beaten by ten full
and the flush was beaten by queen
full. None of the other men in the game
thought that his hand was especially
strong or weak, and it would be expect
ed naturally that the array of hands
given above would quit the game con-
siderably to the good if one did not
know that most of them were BEATEN

Headaches.

For most aches of the head the hot
water bag is a good friend. but when
the face has the flush and the eyes show
a pecul ar look which tell of a longest
i've headache then heat in that neigh
borhood is lnsupportable. Instead of
this apply cold. If You have no ice bag
ill your hot water bag pretty full of ice
water, put in pieces Of ice as large as
will pass the mouth and lay this at the
back of the patient s neck. Applied to
the armpits and wrists, ice1ften affords
great relief to the sufferer.

Fairmont, w. Va, September 13.-
Late tonight report was received
here that several shots of dynamite
had been discharged across the river

and could be plainly heard here, while
the shock was severe at Monongah.

because of rumors that have been fly

be used to blow up the Manongah

FOUR WOMEN ARRESTED

BY Deputy sherifrs at Plum Creek-Gave
the Deputies Hard work-Carried Their
Babies to Jail.
Pittsburg, Pa, September 13.-Emma
Haas, the miners Joan of Arc, and
three other women were arrested for
marching at Plum Creek this morning
by sheriff's deputies. The attempt to
make the arrests preeipiiared- am In
cipient riot, in which the deputies
Jared badly. No one was seriously
hurt, but scarcely deputy escaped a
clubbing and Supt. Sam DeArmitt was
cut on the hand. Two of the women
arrested carried babies.
The riot was the result of a care
fully planned attempt to prevent the
men at work at Plum Creek from en-
tering the mines. There were % wo-
men and about so strikers concerned
III it.
The plan was to have the women
march in front with their babies, with
the design of working on the senti-
ments of the men who would be going
to work and to act as a shield for the
rest of the party. The women were to
crowd around each man as he at
tempted to go into the mine, take his
dinner bucket from him and throw it
into the ditch.
About daylight the party started out,
headed by Emma Hass. Those not
having babies carried pick handles.
On the Murraysville road they encoun-
tered a posse Of deputies and were or
dered back to the camp. No attention
was paid to the order and the party
tried to force their way through the
line of deputies.
A scuffle followed and Emma Haas
and three other women who were in
the lead, were arrested. A scene of
wild excitement then ensued.
The moment a deputy laid hands on
a woman he was surrounded by Others
waving clubs in the air and using them
on the head of a deputy when the op-
portunity offered Deputy Walker was
severely dubbed and S. C. DeArmitt
was cut in the hand. He says he was
attacked by woman with a knife.
The deputies finally got their pris-
oners into the company's stable and
later brought them to this city, where
they were lodged in the county jail.
The names of the women arrested
were Emma Haas, Mrs. John Kosar
Mrs. Frank Haas, and Mrs. Eisner
Mrs. Kosar and Mrs. Eisner had their
babies with them.
After the removal Of the prisoners
from Plum Creek the excitement sub
sided and the women and strikers re-
turned to camp.
The reason more Of the women were
not arrested was that four or five
deputies were required to hold one OF
them and the force was not large
enough to take charge Of the crowd.

trouble, and she feels sure that there
will be bloodshed before things are

Charles Town, w. Va, September
13.-In the Supreme Court of APP
peals to-day the petition of Col. Rob-
ert w. Eastman, indicted for the MUIR
der of Frank Z. Thompson. in Tucker
county, for a writ of prohibition
against Judge Holt, of the Circuit
Court OF that county, came up for de-
cision, the hearing and arguments
having taken place September 2.
On the motion to dismiss the tenn
porary rule, made by the counsel for
the State, the court is equally divided
and the rule could not be dismissed.
On the question of granting the per-
manent writ of prohibition the court
is also divided, and it cannot issue.
1t was intimated by one Of the
judges that the court would issue
rule against Eastman, requiring him
to come into court and make mo-
tion to perpetuate the temporary writ
and on that question there would be
divided court and the temporary rule
would be discharged.
The main question before the court
was whether the facts of the case
made it a proper case for writ OF
prohibition or for a writ of error, and
on this question the court is divided
and the writ mill not be issued.
The action of the court leaves the
indictment against Eastman stand,
and his trial will have to take place
in Tucker county, before Judge Holt.
Judges English and Dent were of
opinion that the writ should be grant
ed, from which Judges Brannon and
McWhorter dissented.
In the habeas corpus proceeding in
stituted by Eastman the court refused
to discharge him and remanded him TO
the jail of Tucker county.
Col. Eastman has been confined in
! the Jail in this place since his case
was submitted to the court, awaiting
| their decision and expecting his dis
| charge on the haheas corpus The
