THE KAISER'S VANITY
Was the Cause of the Recent Injury
to His Eye.

London, July 19.-The injury to the
Kaiser''s eye, which alarmed the Ger
man court and necessitated the sum-
moning of the court oculist of Bavaria,
was the result of a characteristic exhi-
bitiOn of personal vanity on his part.
He was informed that it would be I'M
safe if not impossible to lower one of the
heavy steel mastS of the Hohenzollern,
his gigantic yacht, unless she were in
dock, and under a derrick. He ex-
claimed there was nothing impossible
to him and said if the naval engineers
aboard were unable to devise means of
lowering the mast while the ship was
af1oat he would teach them how. He
accordingly drew up a scheme for I'M
shipping 1t by means of haWSerS at
tached to the bow and to the other
masts and it was while the steel haw-
ser was being rugged under his personal
direction that one of the ropes snapped
and the end struck him in the eye.
The organ was seriously injured, but
he bore the intense pain without finch
ing while in sight of the crew, but when
he withdrew to his cabin he threw him.
self on the bed writing in agony. When
by surgical aid he obtained some relief
he returned to the deck with his eye
bound up and in the teeth of persua-
sion of his officers he had the mast low
cred, doing considerable damage to the
deck and the rigging of the yacht by the
operation.
Having given this demonstration of
his divine powers he had the crew sum-
noned and prayer was offered up The
whole episode was due to one of those
attacks of mania to which he is liable.
1t was stated in a private letter from a
diplomatic source in Berlin in which
this authentic account of the incident
was given that the eye is very gTavely
hurt and it is quite possible its sight
may be permanently affected. With a
defective eye, ear and arm the Kaiser
will be the most seriously manned ruler

AN IMPUDENT NEGRO.
Fired Out Of His Office by Senator

Washington, July 19.-"Get out of

Such were the words Numbered at
Jason M. TiIley of Cleveland. O., by
Senator Mark Hanna.
This happened in the National Re
publican committees headquarters and
was witnessed by a large crowd of Of
flee seekers who, like Tilley, had been
waiting all day, and many of them for
weeks and months, to see Hanna.
Tilley, who is a young cOlored politf-
clan, stepped up to Hanna and asked
waiting in Washington before giving
him a job.

of doing business and want an answer

GREAT BICYCLE PARADE.
5000 Chicago Wheelmen in Line,
With Mayor Harrison at the Head.

Chicago, July 19-One of the greatest
bicycle parades this city has ever seen
took place Saturday under the auspices
of the Chicago Evening Journal. Fully
5000 wheelmen were in line and the
sight was a beautiful one.
Mayor Harrison led the parade, COM
ing directly after an advance guard of
300 policemen who were mounted on
wheels and who cleared the way for the
long string of riders that came after.
Prizes were offered for the best look
ing clubs and for the most original and
striking costumes, and a greater varie-
ty of characters in dress was never
seen in Chicago. The route of parade
was south on Michigan avenue, through
Washington and Jackson parks to the
Coliseum, where the Judges were sta
toned and the awards were made.

NEW SITE FOR COLUMBUS.
Statue, if Secured, Will Be Set Up in
the Public Square or in the
New Park.

Chicago, July 19.-should c. Column
bus desire to shake the dust of Chicago
from that part of the pedestal that
hung to his low cut shoes when he was
lifted from his high position on the
Lake Front park and go to Menasha,
Wis, he will be set up in business either
in the public square or in Menasha's
new public park.
But Colombo is still lying back of the
stables in Washington park, as the
South Park commissioners have not yet
acted upon the petition of the citizens
of the Wisconsin town asking that they
be given the discarded discoVerer. E.
D. Smith has given Menasha money to
build a public library and a piece of
ground for park purposes.
Now all the citizens want is a mon
ument. So they appealed for Column
bus, believing the park commissioners
did not care to have the big navigator
lying around eating his head off in
these hard times. Ex-Mayor Lawson
of Menasha yesterday said that citi-
zens interested in ornamenting the city
felt confident of securing c. Columbus
all right.

FACTS FOR INVESTORS.
Labor Commissioner Johnson Will
Compile Some Manufacturing
Data.

State Labor Commissioner w. L. A
johnson means to show the people of
the east and the country in general the
exact standing of Kansas as manu-
featuring state, and for this purpose he
has taken the preliminary steps towards
compiling a report ON the manufactur-
ing industries of Kansas. He has sent
blanks to all of the manufactures in
the state asking for data, and he ex-
poets to be able to publish the report
within the next six weeks.
Some of the questions asked by the
labor commissioner are: What amount
is invested? What is the average out
put? How many men are employed?
What are the average wages paid?
Has the output increased within the
past two years and if so how much?

fning the duties of the State Librarian
Of 1852. which provided a fund for use
in the State Library
The Act approved March s, 1861, was
also quoted. and that portion relating
to the expenditure Of the library fund
was quoted as follows:
They" (the Board of Library Trus-
tees) shall have power to draw from
the treasury. at any time, all moneys
therein belonging to the State Library
fund, and TO expend the same in the
purchase OF suitable furniture, maps,
charts, and books, for the use of the
State Library"
In conclusion, and after giving a
number Of citations, the opinion con-
Guides as follows:
1t was the evident intention of the
Legislature in the Act of May /. 1872,
creating the library fund. and in the
Act Of March s, 1861, prescribing rules
for the government of the State Libra
~, that the fund thus created should
be expended solely in the purchase of
suitable furniture, maps, charts and
books for the use of the State Library,
and that the Librarian, created by the
latter Act, should be paid in the same
manner and out of the same fund as
are other State officers. 1 can per-
ceive nothing in the subsequent legisla-
tion upon this subject which in any
way changes this original intent. There
is certainly no express provision that
the salary Of the State Librarian shall
be paid out of the Library fund, and in
the absence of any such provision the
payment of his saluary is, in my opin-
ion, regulated by the provisions of Sec
ton 1929 of the Political Code, which
section is as follows:
p" Unless otherwise provided by law
the salaries of officers must be paid
out of the general fund in the State
Treasury monthly, on the last day Of
each month.
Il am further of the opinion that the
Governors veto Of the appropriation
made for this salary in the general ap-
preparation BILL does not deprive the
State Librarian of the right to have his
salary paid monthly, as provided in the
section just quoted. The office has
been created and the salary fixed by
the Legislature: and that. taken in
connection with the provision of Sec
ton 1929 of the Political Code, is suffi-
cient to constitute a standing appro-
priation for the amount of the salary
