THIS YEAR WORTH WATCHING.
Not Since 1851 Has There Deen So
Peculiar n Numerical Conn
bination.

A German statistical scientist, in an
article in the Magleburg Zeitung, calls
attention TO the remarkable attributes
of the year 1898. No man in the present
generation has lived or will live under
such peculiar circumstances, q condi-
ton that has not appeared since the
year 1851 and will not appear again
until the year 211o. People imbued
with supersdtious belief and mem
bers of 13 clubs ought to watch closely
the events of this remarkable year.
AS starter, the numeral 1895 can be
diviSsd by p, and the four figures added
togelhef gISes 20, which can also be
divided by 13. The numeral of the year
1s9s also belongs TO the remarkable
group OF four-sid6d numbers, CT which
only eight have existed since the birth
OF Christ, 1898 being the ninth. Take
1895, for example. Subtract the frs,
figure from the third and the value OF
the second and fourth are received.
These peculiar year numbers have been
1910. 1921, 1892, 13+3. 1454. 1865, 1G76,
1877, and now 1898. The last time the
peculiar condition of 13 existed was IL
1851. This could evenly be divided by
13, and the figures, /, 6, 5, added TO-
getber give 13.

GOING TO JAIL IN STYLE.
The uniQue Way They Have of sur
rendering to the Law in
Germany.

Mark Twain has described the stu
and the police constable or beadle who
addresses his captive thus: when will
it be convenient for you TO be locked
upY Then the student consults his
engagement list and names the day.
But this spirit of quiet resignation to
the needs of the law seems to be fea-
ture of the German generally, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. Witness thereto is
a scene which lately took place before
the gates of the Rummelsburg prison
near Berlin. a bicycle party rode up
at full speed and halted before the iron
sheeted doors. There were three gen
uemen and three ladies; they had
ridden up in pairs, and when they dis
mounted they rested. their bicycles
against the prison walls. Then they
grouped themselves in picturesque
circle before the gate. and champagne
bottles and glasses appeared in the gen
tlemen's hands. They drank toast o
their next meeting and sang When
Mortals Part" and prison walls inter
rene. Then, having taken the pledge
of fidelity in the form of kiss (hey
would probably have objected to taking
the pledge in any other form), the
bridegrooms separated from the brides.
The former vanished. man and machine.

mounted and rode resignedly away.
The criminals had been guilty of riot
ing and reveling on New Years night.
They and their bikes had only a few
days to serve.

SPANISH BOY KING.
A Very Small Monarch who Has a
Great Number of Very
Big Names.

One of the most interesting monarchs
Of Europe is bright boy only ~ years
cid. He is King Alfonso NIL. Of
Spain, and he has so many names and
titles that one would think it would
make him dizzy to remember them all.
No doubt he spent day or two learning
them, as one of our boys would learn
the capitals of the western states. His
eight names are Leon, Ferdinand, Ma
rie, Jacques, Isadore, Pascal, Antoine
and Alfonso. Besides being king of
Spain, he has 81 other titles.
King of CASTLE, of Leon, of Aragon, Of
The l@o Sicllies, of Jerusalem, of Ma
varre, of Granada, of Toledo, of Valen-
cia, of Galacia, of Majorca, of Minorca,
Of Seville, of Sardinia, of Cordova, CT

islands, of the Eastern and Western In
dies, of India and of the Oceanic Con.
tinent. He is an archduke of Austria,
duke of Burgundy, of Brabant and of
Milan, count of Hapsburg, of Flanders,
of the Tyrol and of Barcelona and lord
of Biscay and Molina, and so on.
But in spite of all his dignity he is
very much q boy. Although there are
always courtiers at his heels to serve
him, he likes to ride and run and swim
as we'll as any other boy. In fact, he
doesn't get half so much fun as he
would like boy kings life isn't easy
Alfonso is q great favorite with the
Spanish people. They call him "el
piquenito'-"the little one"-and he is
cheered wherever he goes. His mother
is now ruling Spain as queen regent
but little Alfonso will be crowned king
as soon as he reaches the age of ls.

Al. w. Martins Uncle TOMS Cabin Co.,

As the result of years of abuse, coun-
terfeit productions, cheap mounting
and cheaper performers, the fine old
play Of Uncle Toms Cabin" has of
late years been looked upon with pity
by many who read Mrs. Stoves great
story and felt all the power and pathos
of its lines; but others, and these are
the majority, have ridiculed it and
laughed at its very mention. In theat-
rical circles it has fallen into such bad
repute that to belong to ''Iom show
is to class an actor as ''hors de com bat. 3"
To undertake, in the face of such dis
couraging conditions, the producing of
the play in a manner worthy of it's
story, and to hope for it's appreciation
by the theatre-goers at large, was al
most to attempt the impossible.
Al. W. Martin has taken upon him
self that task and pleasanter still Is to
relate, he has succeeded. MIR. Martins
company has three bands of music, two
cars Of special scenery and fifty people
including the famous minstrel star,
Milt. G. Barlow, who will be seen as
Uncle Tom" This attraction comes
to the Auditorium. Monday, April 18th.

THE SALMON PACK.
Not So Large MS Was Estimated-The
Low Prices Account for The
Ealing OFF.

San Francisco Jan. 1.-The Herald of
Trade and Finance prints the following
review of the Pacific coast salmon PACK
for the season just closed:
The total pack of canned salmon on
this coast is not so large as late esti-
mates made 1t, but 1t comes up to the
early estimates. While the Alaska
pack is net up to last years those OF
British Columbia, Puget Sound, Column
bia river and Sacramento river are
larger, but those of the outside streams
and bays in Oregon are not up to 1896.
The Alaska pack is somewhat sur
prise, because 1T was believed it would
aggregate 1000. 900 cases. 1t was stated
that the run of fish did not come up to
expectations. This also explains why
the British Columbia pack fell below
estimates before the season oSened.
While the runs on Fraser river were
fairly large, there were lighter runs on
the other rivers and inlets.
The Puget Sound pack of sockeyes
came fully up to expectations. but the
run of silversides, a little later. was
disappointing and cut The estimate
pack quite materially. The Columbia
river pack. it was thought, would not
be over 100000 cases. but the excep-
tional sizes of the chinook salmon made
a much larger pack than had been es-
timated, even during the fishing season.
1t is rather singular that the pack OF
this river was in 1883 and 1884 over $780,
900 cases. and in 1855, $4,000 cases, but
from 1856 To 1893 inclusive the pack var
led from 325. 900 cases To $4,000 cases,
with one year. 1892, 500. $50 cases. Since
1898 the pack has been over 100000 cases
each year. This is convincing evidence
that the Oregon state hatcherieS have
proven n success.
The very low prices that ruled for
salmon this year must have caused
outside packers to reduce their output
for by no other reason can so large
falling off be accounted for. The pack
ON the Sacramento river was largely
in excess of last year, Notwithstanding
a strike of fishermen lessened the total
pack.

condition is any worse to-day than il
has been of late 4 dispatch from
Hamburg says the rumor of Bismarck S
death originated in Berlin, and was
received in Hamburg with skepticism,
which inquiry at Freidricsruh proved
to be uniustified There is no doubt,
however, that Prince Bismarcks health
has been rudeiy shaken in the last few
days. owing to his insomnia, which is
due to want of open air exercise and
the agony which he suffered from the
govt.
DR.. Schwenninger has ordered the
prince to abstain from all mental ex-
ertion.
The announcement of the death OF
Prince Bismarck was made by the
Evening News yesterday Afternoon in
a special dispatch saying that the
prince had passed away and that there
was great excitement in Berlin. The
News stated that the report was con-
firmed from several sources, but was
discredited in some quarters.
4 later edition of the Evening News
printed a dispatch from its own CORE
spondent in Berlin, saying:
THE one remark on the lips of every
body is Prince Bismarck is dead Al
though expected for months, his death
has caused a great shock. 1t is the sole
topic Of conversation in the hotels, cafes
and in the streets. To-day being a holi-
day, everybody about the streets was
asking about the sad event. When the
news was first received in Berlin il was
generally discredited. and when con-
firmed from various sources there was
the deepest grief everywhere. 1t is I'M
certain whether death was due to apo
plexy or govt of the heart. Telephon-
ing to Hamburg could not obtain a
confirmation, but here it is generally be-
lieved.'
At about a quarter of I o'clock in the
evening, an official agency in Berlin
sent the following:
Count Herbert and Count William
Bismarck and DR.. Schwenninger are at
present on visit to Prince Bismarck.
There has been no change in the
princes condition for the last few days.
He appears regularly at meals.
This was followed by dispatch from
Hamburg saying: THE report that
Prince Bismarck died to-day is un-
founded. Tine prince to-day received nc
personal visitors Callers left their
cards"

BISMARCK STILL ALIVE
The Report Sent Abroad That
He'd Finally Cashed In.
IT'S OFFICIALLY DENIED
All London Went to Bed Believing That
the Man OF Blood and Iron Had
Climbed an 18-Karat Col
den Stair.

London Jan, 1.-The usual quiet of
New Years day was disturbed yester-
day afternoon by a report that Prince
Bismarck was dead This rHnor. so
emphatically made by the Evening
News and shouted throughout London
by the newsboys, created a deep SEN
sation in the minds of the general pub
lie, and great excitement in newspaper
circles, until a denial was received by
the Reuter- Telegram company. Most
of Londoners, however. went To bed
last night in the belief that Prince
Bismarck was dead, as the dispatches
to the Reuter- company wee not pub
lished in this morning newspapers.
Inquiries made in London bore out the
denial. Baron d Eekardstein attache
of the German embassy, said no news
had been received at the legation, and
the officials were convinced that the
rumor was untrue, because, apart from
the absence of official news, personal
friend of d Eckardstein was staying at
the home of Prince Bismarck and
would certainty have telegraphed had
the rumor been true.
At the British foreign office it was
also said that no news of Bismarck $
death had been received, and the rumor
was discredited there. A denial has
also been received from Berlin. The
feeling is one of profound reticence.
The actual source of the report is
not known. but the rumor was readily
credited. in view of the fact that the
ex-chancellor has for the past fort
night been in bad health and worse
than before. though Ii WAS not thought
his life was in positive danger.
Inquiries made by both Telegraph and
telephone have ELECTED the reassuring
statement that the prince is alive and
there is no reason to believe that his
