NO SUCCESSOR IN SIGHT.

Resig nation of the German Premier Has
Been Thrice Refused.
BERLIN, Oct. 6.-Prince Hohenlohe,
it is, alleged, has already thrice rendered
his resignation as chancellor, but has
been induced to withdraw it because no
suitable successor could be found among
Prussians of princely rank and because
DR.. Won MIGUEL is reluctant to assume
such thorny legacy. The latter has
used all his influence to persuade Prince
Hohenlohe to retain Office.
The Koelnische Zeitung, in frank
article explaining the motives underly-
ing the naval plans of Emperor Will
lam, does not scruple to assert that Gin
the case of Samoa, Germany more than
once has had every reason to establish
law and order by force of arms, but has
refrained and still does not think OF at
tempting anything of the kind, because
the English and all the Americans have
a finger in the pie"
The Koelnische Zeitung, however,
adds: "The alarming defenseless state
of the German coasts, to say nothing OF
German interests all over the world,
shows the necessity of a strong navy" "

CHlCAGO'S PRAIRIE FIRES.
Firemen on the Outskirts Kept Busy
Fighting Them.

Firemen the Outskirts Kept Busy
Fighting Them.
CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-Firemen in all the
outlying suburbs of the city were kept
busy all day fighting prairie fires. The
most serious fire was one which started
about $50 p. m. near the Grand Trunk
tracks at Forty-third street and Ash
land avenue. Near the starting point
were several stacks Of hay and these
were soon ablaze. The high wind
famed the blaze and it spread rapidly
in a southerly direction. The fire
burned until evening, when it was ex-
tinguished one mile south of the start
ing point. No buildings were damaged,
but several hundred feet of sidewalk
and a number of fences were destroyed.
Other sections of the city were more or
less damaged by prairie fires. The fires
in each instance are supposed to have
been caused by sparks from passing
engines, and in many places sidewalks
and fences were entirely destroyed.

There may be an artist in Chicago, but if SC, he must form a set by himself. It would be interesting to know whether the gentleman who humiliated Chicago so- ciety by appearing at a breakfastin even- ing clothes has passed the ordeal of Mir. Lineoln's censors and enlisted in the phalanx. Perhaps he may return with others there, when he has purged his guilt"
 The real absurdity of the attempt to draw lines in Chicago. so as to include three hundred, and exclude the other million or two millions, or whatever it may be, Is that society in what may be called the technical sense does not exist in Chicago. For "society" is com posed of people who have nothing to do but to amuse themselves, and who have plenty of money to do this withal The money exists in Chicago but the leisure is lacking. There Is, of course. a leisure sex, be there more or less, in every American city, but there is no leisure class. Nobody goes to Chicago to spend money he has made elsewhere, and as soon as man has made money enough in Chicago, to live elsewhere. he goes elsewhere to live. For those who are forced to remain and endure, earning their livings the while, society is sim ply a means of mitigating the asperities of life in Chicago after business hours. That is to say, it is not in strictnes5 so- ciety at all. It Is really very fortunate for Chicago that there are not so many idle hands there, waiting for Satan to find mischief for them to do. as in moro attractive places of residence. But meanwhile the attempt of busy and hustling populace to initiate the customs of the idle rich and to form corps of volunteers for Satan seems foredoomed to disappointment.

 Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a maneis slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebod- ings are ten times worse than the most severe pain.

 There was an air of tolerant superiority about him which made his unfavorable comments on the things brought to his attention doubly hard to bear. says the Washington Star. His Washington host was doing his best to show him the city in such a manner as to leave a good i'm presSion for he had announced his inten- tion of writing a book as soon as he got back to London. But whatever he saw served only to bring to mind something in Europe that he liked better.

 No doubt. And it does well enough. Yours is a young nation, one that cannot be expected to hold any great eminence for it's achievements, either artistic or political"

CHICAGO'S THREE HUNDRED
It Is Now Being Formed By Selection Out of the Windy Citys Very
 Best Material.

Our dispatches have informed us that Gan exclusive phaianx" of three hundred is now forming b.. natural or artificial se- lection out of the general mass of the population of Chicago, says the New York Times and that when formed 1t would constitute society" in the esoteric sense. It was in this sense that the late Ward McAllister said there were only four hundred New Workers fin society,"" The prompt rejoinder to this on the part Of young woman of Chicago was the exultant statement that New York must be a small place.. for in Chicago there were over two thousand. This is a liberal estimate, but, on the other hand, that of Mr. Lincoln and his colleagues. who pro- p9>4 to restrict it to three hundred. seems undaly conservative. We stand aston ished at their moderation. It loes not appear why this particular number should have been arrived at for the rem Dant. Possibly t was rerniniscence of the Spartan band, unaffrighted by su- perlor numbers, ana resolved to sell their lives arly.
 There has for long time been an inner circle of Chicagoans composed of those whose ancestors had settled there before the fire. It is understood that there is a larger but concentric circle Of those whose ancestors arrived before the Fair. But even the inner circle must number more than 300. Whether the standard be antiquity, or wealth. or accomplishments, or manners, all of these combined, we decline to believe that there are not more people in Chicago who can bear to be judged by it.. So far as Is known in that fringe of the continent which lies outside the corporate limits of Chicago. the ''sniart set'' consists ofone woman and the literary set of one man and one woman.

RAGE FOR MINIATURES.

A Charming Old Fashion That Is Be-
 ing Revived.
 Too many of our old-time fashions are going out, but one at least Is coming In again. I speak of the wearing of minia- tures says the Woman at Home There is, indeed, quite a rage for these deli cate little portraits just now of our fair est women and children You may have them in any size you may choose; wear them as lockets CT in buttons, waist bands or shoebuckles. They are charm ing, too, inserted as a medallion on the cover of an ivory or stortoise-shell note book, card case or pet volume of any kind. And I imagine 8 miniatur would become the top of a lovely scent bottle upon ones toilet table. Only the other day I heard of an American millionaire who gave orders to a fashionable minda- ture painter to emblazon his watchcase with flowers of rare enamel round the cherub heads of his two tiny daughters. For my part, I would like on opening the watch to see the inside of the case disclose the smiling face of one near and dear to me.
 Iris such a pretty, dainty art, that of miniature painting! Ut needed but that we should wait" for the revival of so attractive vogue Our great and great great-gran randmothers chose to wear the miniatures of their beloved ones in this gold medallions, suspended by a black watered ribbon round their necks and fastened with gold pin or brooch over the left breast. I doubt not we shall be doing likewise in the year of grace 1897. Great ladies, and ladies who like to fol- low their betterS, are giving orders rlgnt and left to miniature painters. The best ground for the work is. of course, ivory, which is practically indestructible. But although we have some clever and care full artists, the brilliant and charming work of others of a bygone day is by no means equalled.

OUR VISIT .To HOWARD COLLEGE

Alabama Baptist.
 In the last~issue we referred to our visit to Howard college. With view of ascertaining by personal observation the precise condition and conduct of the col lege, without the knowledge of the fac ulty or students, we dropped in at dinner and dlned with them. At night we again visited the buildings and slept in one of the rooms. In this way we had first-class opportunity to observe much Of the work ngs, the table fare, the quality of beds. the condition of the rooms, and the morale of the students. As result of our inspection and observation, we say here and now that we were pleased, yes, de- lighted with all the conditions. The table is well kept with wholesome and we'll cooked food, and plenty of 1t; the beds cannot be improved, being equal to any in the best furnished rooms in any priv ate family; the rooms are neatly kept; the grounds cleanly and the department of the students that of well-bred gentle men, No boisterousness or rowdyiSm ap- parent anywhere. We were on the grounds at night. when only half dozen students knew it, hence, of course, our presence had nothing to do with their department.
 The denomination ought to be proud of Howard college, and support 1t better. If you send your boys to this institution, they are put upon their honor, and taught from-t the beginning the duties of young manhood. Whenever a boy for feits his honor he will be dismissed from the college This is the fixed rule; hence all understand, fully the penalty. Not a case of severe discipline has been ad- ministered during the session. With such discipline, the boys will earn, and learn to a purpose. They receive practi- cal as well as theoretical training. No school in this country furnishes supe- rior advantages so far as the curriculum promises.
 We attended chapel service, which oc- CUTS every morning at 8:30 o'clock. By this hour all the day scholars are in. The students, without any suggestion, raise and sing a song, then Scripture reading by one of the professors, after which prayer. From the chapel they begin recitations.
 We have visited this Baptist institu- tion many times before. but were never so impressed with the wonderful in- f1uence it exerts. It is the bedrock of our denominational power and progress Its loss to our cause would be more dis astrous than the wisest and most sa- gacious could conceive.
 We appeal to our people to rally around the college, which is conducted by Q splendid faculty of Christian men. Send your boys here where you know they will be under Christian influence and in- doctrinated in high moral principles and they will learn to be men-high minded educated men.
