BISMARCK A HELPLESS CRIPPLE.


Great Statesman Has Lost Use Of
Both His Legs.
A special to the New York Journal from
Berlin says: Prince Otto Won Bismarck,
the man of blood and iron, whose mighty
arm forged the German principalities into
a great united en- pire, is now helpless
cripple
Today the sad news comes from Fried
richsrhue that until death brings relief the
greatest living statesman is doomed to
life of dreary inactivity, his sole diversion
consisting of being rolled around his gar
den in favorable weather in an inVahd
chair.
The prince has lost the Use of his legs.
Like a tiny infant, he cannot stand on his
feet and it requires the strong arms OF
loving friends and relatives TO MT MIN
from mis- chair onto his couch or BED.
But few even of his most intimate friends
have been favored with an audience by
Prince Bismarck since the beginning OF
this year, the ever vigilant Dr. schwen-
niger insisting that his august patient can
not bear the least excitement, and that
any reference to affairs Of state or foreign
politics exerts a baleful influence on his
nerves. -
DR.. Schweninger is not as candid with
newspaper men as usual. which is regarded
as a bad omen by all who know him, ana
1t is believed that the end OF the great
chancellor is near at hard. There nave
been from time to time many rumors re-
but the persistent silence of the trusted
family physician and the closest friends
and relatives causes the deepest concern.
The man who has been accustomed to
life Of constant stir and excitement finds
it a terrible affection to be famed mentally
and physically, and he is therefore any
thing but meek patient. He insists on
being taken cut of his chair every few
moments and wants to walk around his
room or garden. This request can only be
granted when he will permit himself to be
supported. almost carried, by two OF his
most stalwart servants. These men are
kept all day in readiness to acquiesce to
the whims Of their restless master.
There is only one man who is permitted
to meet the prince, and that is Editor Hoff-
mann of the Hamburger Nachrichten the
acknowledged Bismarckian organ. He fully
understands the idiosyncracies of Bis
marck, and Dr. Schw eninger does not fear
that matters will be discussed which will
arouse the ire or passion Of his patient.
Bismarck himself has expressed desire to
b. spared from interviews with newspaper
men. but he demands greater freedom of
movement, which unfortunately cannot be
granted.
1t Is automatically stated that at times
the prince is unmanaeeable; he is extreme
ly morose and upbraids his best friends in
his frequent fits of dependency, which re-
suit in a general collapse Of pitiable weak
ness,

freed by Wild Dogs.


John Kyle, a huntsman of Vineland. had
a thrilling escape yesterday from pack of
wild dogs which infest the Maurice river
swamp, three miles west of here. That a
pack of wild dogs had caused apprehension
among the farmers living along the out
skirts of the swamp has been known for
some time. Kyle was prowling about in a
rather aimless way, and noticed that his
dog commenced suddenly to run about
strangely, seeming the air as If in the
proximity of big game. Presently the hound
stopped, trembled, and, lowering its tail,
ran to it's master and whined. Suddenly
there burst into view several large, shay
gy dogs of the Newfoundland species, fol-
lowed by pack Of the brutes, all swapping
and snarling
Seized with fear, the nimrod dropped his
He was none too soon, for the dogs circled
about the tree trunk growing savagely.
Kyle, realizing that he was freed. began
to speculate seriously upon the prospects of
spending all night in his airy fort. He did
not have to walt very long, however. for

leader. started into the swamp. followed by
peared. Kyle waited q little while. then
cautiously descended and made a bee line
for home.
While gunEiug this morning near the same
swamp, Joel Chew and his son "Ner'' were
set upon by the same dogs. A volley of
shot staggered them Chew and his son
continued to fire into the drove until they

1T MADE HIM WEEP,
"Take Her and May the Lord Have
Mercy ON Your SOUL"
From the Cleveland leader

"Take Her and May the Lord Have
Mercy ON Your SOul.'
From the Cleveland Leader.
Delaney WalIingford hesitated with his
hand upon the knob of the door to the pri-
Vate office. He was about to ask Henry
Faversham for the hand Of his beautiful
daughter. For a moment tie young man
was inclined to procrastinate, but he drew
himself together at last and walked in.
The rich man received him kindly and
asked him to sit down. Before Wallingford
had begun upon the subject that was near
est his heart, however the voice of Mrs.
Faversham was heard in the outer office,
and her husband requested his visitor to
step into an adjoining room until the lady
had got through with him.
Look here!' said the mother of the only
girl that Delaney Wallingford had ever
loved, as she rushed into her husbands
presence, Il want you to give an account
of yourself! You didn't get home until
long after the hour l set for you last night,
and you have a guilty look Who's that
young woman out there in the front office
that braZel thing with clothes that are
too rich for any working girl to wear?
Where do you intend to take your lunch to-
day? I'm going to go along with you!
Here, l need $3.50 for Christmas presents.
Indorse this check Let me see those let
tiers in that pigeonhole! You're up to
sc netting, Henry FaverSham, and I'm
going to find out what it is! Discharge
that girl out there today. and get hcmely
Cne! I'll be down here again tomorrow to
see whether you have obeyed my orders or
not. When you get home tonight-and see
that you're on time-Ill have some more
to say to you. Remember, 1 expect you to
come to Murkle's for your lunch. l haven't
time to talk to you this morning. Give me
those letters you have in your pocket!'
One of her lady friends was waiting for
her outside in the carriage, so she had to
leave him long before she had finished her
remarks.
When Mr. Faversham was alone again
Delaney Wallingfold returned and sat
down in front OF the benevolent-looking old
gentleman, who asked him to proceed with
the business in hand.
Your daughter Gladys" the young man
said-"we love each other. have come to
ask you for her.
There was deep pity in the look that
Henry Faversham bestowed upon his Wis
itor, and after a long silence he said:
I've always had a sort of liking for you
I've thought you were a pretty sensible
sort OF chap. You heard what was said In
here a few moments ago, didn't you?'
Delaney confessed that he had heard 1t
all.
"WeIl, all right, then. My conscience is
clear. Take her, and may the Lord have
mercy on your soul! Her mother was sweet
and timid once!'
When they shook hands Delaney Wal
lingford saw tears in the old mans eyes.

SPAIN,S WEAKN ESS.

There is a growing feeling that Spain IS so thoroughly demorallzed that there isn't much real fight left in her. The story told by Captain Marshall of the American bark John R. Stanhope, which has just arrived at Mobile, will add to this feeling. The Stanhope was at Manzanillo, on the southern coast of Cuba, and Captain Marshall, just be- fore leaving that port, had an inter- view with a member of the Spanish cavalry troop which was there, who could speak good English, and who told him that there were 40O0O Spanish sol- diers in the city and that 800 had died during the week the Stanhope was there, of neglect and want. From the same source Captain Marshall learned that the troops were so discontented with their treatment that they would willingly go over to the insurgents, but the insurgents distrusted them and re- fused all overtures for such a union The troops were quartered in the streets and at night slept under veran- das and in doorways. They demanded accommodations from the citizens, but it was refused them and they were poWerless to enforce it. The rations for day consisted of barley water, a small piece of bread and small piece of pork. This was doled out by off, cers and carried away all in the same tin dish, and the soldiers devoured it like ravenous dogs. They were ragged and dirty in appearance, unsoldierly in bearing and discipline, and their courage had been killed by vicissitudes and i'll treatment. Captain Marshall was of the opinion that the entire Spanish force, nominally 10000 gathered at Manzanillo, was in a wretched condi- ton and ready to revolt at the first favorable opportunity.
 Judging from the reports that come from Cuba and from Spain it really seems doubtful that Spanish sover- eignty'' will hold together long enough to get thoroughly ''licked." If it doesn't there will be some disappoint- ed soldiers and sailors.
