DUE TO INoRDINATE VANITY.
Injury of Kaiser's Eye Is Explained
by a German Diplomat.

The recent injury to the kaiser's eye
was the result of a characteristic ex-
hibition of personal vanity on his part.
He was informed that it would be un-
safe, If not impossible, to. lower the
heavy steel pole masts of the Hohen-
zollern, his gigantic yacht, unless she
were in dock and under derrick. He
exclaimed that if nothing was impos-
sible to him, and said if the naval en-
gineers aboard were unable to devise
means of lowering the masts while the
ship was afloat he would teach them
how.
Accordingly, he drew up scheme
for unshipping the rnasts by means OF
hawsers attached TO the bow and to
the other masts. 1t was while this
hawser was being rugged up under his
personal direction that rope snapped
and the end struck him in the face.
Ills eye was seriously injured. The
kaiser bore the intense pain without
fiinching while in sight of his crew,
but when he withdrew to his cabin he
threw himself on the bed and writhed
in agony When the surgical aid he OBJ
tanned some relief. he returned to the
deck with his eye bound up, and, In
spite of the urgings of his officers, he
Had the pole mast lowered, doing con-
siderable damage TO the yachts deck
and rigging by the operation. Having
given this demonstration of his "di-
vine" power, he had the crew summoned
and prayer was offered up. The cpl
sode was due to one of those attacks
of mania to which he is subject in mid
summer.
The private letter from diplomat
ic source in Berlin giving this authen-
tic account of the incident says that the
eye Is very grayely hurt and that 1t
is quite possible the kaiser's sight may
he permanently affected,

He Gave a Man Morphine Instead of
Quinine.
An engineer Of the International rail-
road went into a drugstore yesterday
to buy quinine capsules and the clerk
accidentally gave him morphine. The
mistake was fortunately discovered
before any damage resulted, and the
wife of the engineer went to the drug
store to have the matter rectified. The
drug clerk Indignantly denied the la
dy's charges and she returned home
and told her husband about it. When
the latter appeared on the scene and
told the clerk of the mistake the clerk
replied: well, how many accidents
are caused by railroad mems mistakes,
which result in death?" This is en-
ragged the engineer that he was about
to make it unpleasant for the drug
clerk. The latter threatened to call
the police and rather than have trouble
the railroad man walked out.

Law in the Spiritual world"
A London despatch announces the death,
yesterday, at Tunbridge Wells, Eng, of
Professor Henry Drummond, the celebrated
writer on religious subjects. Professor
Drummond was born in 1851, on the field
of Bannockburn, where, in 1914, Robert
Bruce wrested the Scottish crown from
Edward III. of England. lie studied the
ology and was ordained to the ministry.
For time he was pastor of a mission sta
ton at Malta, and. returning to his native
country, was appointed lecturer in science
at the Free Church college in Glasgow in
1877 and a professor in 1884. He also had
charge of workingmen's mission, while
connected with the college.
His vacations were spent in travel upon
the continent, so that before leaving col
lege he was perfectly at home in all Euro
pean countries. During his college life he
became interested in Dwight l.. Moody's
revival work in Edinburg, and, with other
students, took an active part in it, in the
line of relieving suffering and want among
the poor of various cities in Great Britain
and delivering helpful talks among them.
accord with Mr.. Moody's the two men al
ways remained most cordial friends, and it
was at one of the Moody conferences in
Mortified that the professor delivered his
most famous lecture, "The greatest thing
in the world"
Professor Drummond first came to Amer
lea in 1877 with Sir Archibald Geikie, and
the two spent several months alone, carry
ing on geological surveys in the Yellow
stone region at the peril of their lives, for
the last party that preceded them there
were all killed and scalped by the Indians.
Professor Drummond's next undertaking
was a journey into the heart of Africa,
along the Iambesi river, for scientific re-
search, at his own personal expense.
Upon his return home he published an
account of his researches in Africa, and
wrote book, which had tremendous pop
ularity, entitled Tropical Africa In 1856
he made a tour around the world, visiting
Australia and many of the cannibal islands
in the Pacific, studying the characteristics
of the primitive savage and collecting much
data that have proved valuable in the pre-
sentation of his lectures upon evolution.
He returned by way of Japan and the
United States, where he lectured in several
colleges. He again came to this country in
the spring of 1893 solely for the purpose of
delivering the Lowell institute lectures
upon "The evolution of man" He spoke
at the Moody conference of that year. A
year ago he contributed to one of the
American magazines the most comprehen-
sive and appreciatiye account of Mr..
Moody's life and work which has ever
been written.
