PRINCE ,sismarcl,,s VIII.

The Dantzic Gazette says that it has
seen Prince Bismarck will. The late
chancellor beqpeathed all his estates in
Pomerania to Count William, with the
exception of Rhcinfeld i'll Rummels-
burg, which falls to Prince Herbert.
All the valuables, consisting chiefly
of presents deposited by Bismarck at
Bleichroedor' bank in Berlin are made
over to Prince Herbert. Their total
value is said to amount to 1000, 900
marks, and in consideration of their
worth Prince Herbert had to hand over
in money to Count William the sum of
300, 900 marks The daughters of Count
William, three in number, each inherits
100, 900 marks, and the Countess Rant
Eau receives 800, 900 marks. The value
of the property disposed of in the will
is said by the paper in question to have
been estimated at 5000, 600 marks at
the time the will was made, but the
late chancelIor's real and personal CO.
tate is now valued at 20, 900, 900 marks,
or 81, 1000, 900.
Thus Prince Bismarck left 81, 900, 900
under will made at a time when his
fortune was considerably less than that
sum. Those who hold that the laborer
is worthy of his hire will rejoice to
learn that he did not have to save his
country for nothing. As he reproached
Moltke for avarice it is to be supposed
that he was himself able to lay by this
considerable sum without any infirmity
of that sort. His manner of living dur
ing the later years of his life offered no
temptation to extravaganza. He lived
on his own country estate like glori-
fed squire and kept far from him the
inevitable unthriftiness of the town and
the court. London News.

Something Curious From Malta.


Every one who has visited Malta is
struck by the curious hood worn by
every native woman and female child.
This is known as the faldetta. It is
made of black silk. stiffened with
whalebone, and, according to the side
of the head on which it is worn, pro-
claims whether it's wearer is married
or single.
The origin of this garment is very
curious. tits said that when the French,
at the beginning of the century, were
in possession of the island the women
were submitted by them to such indig-
mites that they were ordered by their
priests to wear the faldetta, OF hood OF
shame, for period of 100 years.
This period will soon elapse, and it
is subject for speculation whether the
natives will discontinue tho faldetta or
net. As has happened in other i'll
stances, what was once inflicted as a
penance or punishment is now regarded
as an honorable distinction.

the most part the fatality is hushed up.
Among the Adirondacks met the fu-

Shortly before o'clock last evening
the police of the Third station were

has been closed during the hot weather,
and to the surprise of the neighbors a
light was seen shining through one of

whom he communicated news Of the
burglar.
The officer telephoned to the station.
and I'm a very short time Lieut.. Murray

diers. AS Capt. Lyman. the COM
mander of the Lewiston. was not par
ticularly familiar with the southern
New England coast, a pilot named
Bartlett, recommended by Capt. CraR-
dali, United States inspector from the
district, was taken as additional pre-
caution against accident. A corps of
five physicians were also on board the
boat, together with a number of nurses.
The Lewiston sailed out OF Boston
harbor late Saturday afternoon and
made a rapid and uneventful trip to
Montauk Point, arriving there Sunday
afternoon. DIR. Shea, with a number of
the men, went on shore. and the doctor
ing that he had come to take some sick
men-as many as the boat could i'm
mediately accommodate. Nearly 120
were selected and with the assistance of
the men OF the ambulance corps and
others at the camp, they were taken
over the road, two miles long, to the
pier and there carried on the boat. A
large number of cots and mattresses
were in waiting for the sick men. while
others were carried into the staterooms
of the boat. All were aboard by Mon
day morning. and about 10 o'clock the
Lewiston started for Boston. AS there
was little opportunity to obtain good
water and milk, the Lewiston ran into
New London for these supplies. 1t
took few hours to obtain them, and
at o'clock yesterday afternoon she
again started for Boston. Soon after
she left New London the fog came in
thick and the steamer proceeded slowly
along the Rhode Island shore, blowing
her whistle and listening for signals at
Watch Hill and Point Judith. Watch
Hill was passed all right. and the pilot
shaped his course to clear, as he sup
posed, the well known headland of
Point Judith.
About 10 minutes OF 8 the lookout
suddenly sighted a red light off the port
bow. The next instant he saw a white
light on the starboard bow and then,
right ahead. he saw the breakers. Be-
fore he could even shout out a warning.

part of the breakwater, which has re-
Gently been built off Point Judith. The
Lewiston hit the breakwater so hard
that she carried away nearly half her
keel and she shook from stem to stern.
Every one who was standing at the
time was thrown from his feet, and
many were hurled against the side of
the vessel.
The ambulance corps and the doctors
were soon on their feet, and the men,
who, remembering their military train
ing, waiting for orders, were in a
measure reassured by the statement
