NO HOPE FOR MRS. WATSON.

There seems to be no hope for Mrs.
Albert Watson. She is now in the st.
Johns Hospital and the physicians there
will do all in their power for her. but
they think her spinal cord was injured
by the bullet fired by her husband before
he killed himself.
They will try to locate the ball by
means of the x rays.
Mrs. Watson's condition makes It
necessary that something be done for
her as early as possible.

enough to imagine that he is the man
best fitted to run the affairs Of the
world. Others think differently, how
ever, and Williams ambitions along
these lines will never be reached. There
is nothing he Is not ready to do, and
when he is not kept busy with affairs
OF state he is giving instructions to the
women of the court in the manner in
which they should dress, or he is lead
ing the imperial orchestra or opera.
When these things grow tiresome, Will
liam finds employment among his many
troops, which he keeps in a constant
state of excitement, for, as some of his
officers say, one can never tell when
the Emperor will visit the barracks and
call the men out.
No other ruler in the world is so err
ratio as Emperor William From the
day he became the head Of united Ger
many the daily press has chronicled his
queer doings until now nothing affords
surprise. Court gossip is all about
William and the ridiculous things he
has done and those which he may at
tempt. 1t is never necessary to wait
long, for, whatever else may be said Of
him, it must be admitted that he is a
man Of resources and is never at loss

during the year that the men station
ed in the barracks near Berlin do not
expect visit from the kaiser. With
all their watchfulness he often con-
trives to surprise them, and on more
than one occasion he has had the
troops called out early in the morning,
marched many miles and then put
through maneuvers before breakfast
He never tires Of the army and Is all
ways on the alert for some plan to i'm
prove it. Owing to the surprises he
has given the troops in many of the for
titled towns of Germany he is not only
looked upon as wonder, but has been
nicknamed by the men the Demon
Kaiser" Although not physically per-
feet, William possesses wonderful
powers of endurance and has often dis
played it by witnessing the maneuvers
of troops in enc part Of the empire in
the morning and being back in Berlin
to take part in some reception the same
night. while the following morning he
would be ready to start on, another

CAPT EVANS AND THE WHISKY
SMUGGLERS.

If there is one thing that annoys
Captain Robley D. Evans, now in COM
mand of the battleship Iowa, more than
another, it is to have his men come on
beard the vessel intoxicated. Withal
he is generous to the men under his
command and he will not permit any
one to impose upon chem. To take
liquor on board a ship of the service is
against the regulations Of the navy,
and Captain Evans Is strict on that
point. When a man violates this regu-
lation on vessel that is under COM
mand CT Captain Evans, he is punished
for his offense by being put on short
rat.ons and confined TO the ships brig
for several days. With the outsiders
who take liquor on board 1t is different
and, while Evans cannot make the
punishment as severe as he would like,
he metes out such as he can. 1t is
usually sufficient unique, too, to keep
these pirates" from the vessel there
after.
Several times while he was in COM
mand Of the battleship Indiana and
while that vessel was being overhauled
at the Brooklyn navy yard. Evans had
trouble with some Of the members Of
his crew who had bought smugg,ed
LIQUOR They were put in the brig, but
refused to tell where they got the
stuff
Evans determined to put stop to
this business. and he issued orders that
a close watch be kept fer the culprits.

ing the quarter deck, enjoying his after
dinner cigar. He was approached by
the officer of the deck, who informed
him that he had three prisoners who
had been caught trying to sell liquor TOT
the crew. Captain Evans's anger arose
Immediately, and he walked over tor
wnere the men were standing in charged
OF corporal OF marines. After givinG
them a severe lecture he ordered them
to take their hats of and hold their
heads together. The corporal had
seioed eight pint bottles OF ~whts-
ky" 60. The men were next taken to-
the seuppers and made to bend over,
The corks were removed from the bot
ties and the contents poured over their
heads. As the Liquor ran down their
heads and soaked their clothes they
struggled, gasped fov breath ana coughs
ed. Captain Evans waited until the
last drop had left the bottles and then
ordered the culprits to stand UP. They
were sorry looking lot. 1
How do you like that?' he asked
There was no response. He lectured
the men about smuggling liquor into
the navy yard and told them what he
should do if they should ever come on
board his ship again. Then they were
put out.
When asked why he HAD poured the
liquor over the men, Captain Evans
said: Those - rancals do more to
injure the reputation of the service
than all the bad men In It. They not
only demoralize the men. but they get
them into trouble. poured that LIQUOR
over them to give them a taste OF their
own medicine. 1t will make them SMELL
so - bad for the next few weeks that
they will not undertake TO como into
the yard. and you may rest assured
they will never come on my ship
again"
Since then the vessels commanded by
Captain Evans have been free from
smugglers. The men who do get into
the yard for the purpose OF selling
liquor to the sailors are always par.
ticular to ask who Is In command of thol
ship before venturing on board.

family disordereG brain, and on sew
eral occasions it has been alleged that
he was verElng on insanity. This, how
ever, has been merely gossip Of the
court He has kept within his own
domain since coming to the throne and
has little or no intercourse with the
outside world, SO far as social functions
are concerned. He once visited the
president OF the French republic and
the Emperor of Germany President
Faure returned the visit. and with the
exception CT these there are no other
special functions at which Nicholas was
present.
His coronation was the finest that
was ever seen in Europe and was the
cause OF considerable comment in the
other courts. The criticisms were net
all of an agreeable kind. 1t is stated
that ct the feasts and ceremonies at
tending the coronation more than $4O,-
600, 900 was spent, a great portion OF
which came from the downt1 odden peo-
pie of the Russian empire.
Shortly before he ascended the throne
Nicholas made tour OF the world with
his cousin, Prince George Of Greece. 1t
was On this trip and while he was Wis
iting Japan that an attempt was made
by Japanese to take his life. He was
saved by Prince George ard received
only a slight sword wound on the fore
head. His visit to the several coun-
tries excited no end of unfavorable
comment In appearance he was dis
appointment, and because Of his retir-
ing nature he received the nickname
Of Nicholas the Silent" Like his
German neighbor, Nicholas is fond Of
home life and spends most Of his time
with his family, which consists of the
czarina and two small grand duchesses.
He is said to be man Of little sta
bility and can be easily influenced He

place, as it was supposed that his pres

at first to go, but later started on the
trip. Fer some unknown reason he
never got to the city, and it was said
that he was afraid of contracting the
Tread disease. sOn several other occa-
sionS. also, according to his detractors,
he has shown the white feather"
OF Nicholas II Of Russia little can be
said. He has been IN power only for a
few years, and during that time he has
done nothing of much account. The
only things which have brought him
before the public were the alliance with

issued to the other nations requesting

however, has c used much comment

a retiring nature and is fond of neither |
nor official life. His training
has been more il the line of the sci

would fit him to govern a large and I
powerful country. His slight military
education has done him little good Be-
