been several days Frustrated before an
inkling of his decline reached the world
On Friday DR.. Schweninger said:
For the past nine days I have hardly
changed my clothes, having entravei-
inv nearly all the time between Berlin
and Friedrichsruhe, as you may notice
by my shabby velvet jacket" He then
declared that his patients lungs, stom-
acn and kidneys were sound, In fact
that his whole gigantic frame was
sound LAS yet" said DR.. Schweninger,
there is no calcification OF the blood
vessels. but the pains in his face and
legs worry him and shorten his sleep.
DR.. Schwe niger addtd this verdict:
with his extraord nary robust nature
he may, excluding complications, reach
90" During Dr. Schweninger's brief
absence from Fri drichsruhe DR.. Chry-
sander was in constant attendance upon
the patient. Although Prince Bismarck
was extremely low on Wednesday he so
rallied on Thursday that he was wheeled
to the dinner table to celebrate with his
assembled family the fifty-first an
niversary Of his wedding.

TO Michigan People
Lansing, Mich. Aug. LIN his an
nual report soon to be issued Commits
which he has had with the insurance
commissioner Of Wisconsin over the i'm
position of q back tax and penalty Of
s5,975 upon the Standard Life and Ac-
cident Of Detroit for doing business In
Wisconsin and his attempt to retaliate
against the Northwestern Mutual Life
Insurance company of Milwaukee.
The tax was collected from the Stand
ard under an old statute of Wisconsin
which had never been published in the
insurance laws and was not known to
exist by many companies. Commits
sioner Campbell says that to have with
held the statute from publication and
secrete 1t SO effectually that insurance
officials have for thirteen years been
unaware Of its existence, and then to
demand payment from the companies
that have been honestly and fairly pay
ing taxes as great as are imposed and
collected by any state in the Union,
seems from state standpoint to be un-
fair and unjust and lacking every ele-
ment of comfy. The commissioners
adds:
IF, as the honorable commissioner
Of Wisconsin in his last annual report
states, 'retaliatory laws are a relic Of
barbarism and an outrage how much
greater is the barbarism and outrage
that has been perpetrated upon in
nocent companies of other states doing
business in Wisconsin? 1t would be
better to direct criticism in word and
not attempt justification by insinuation
against officers of other states who but
follow plain statutory duty"

AMERICAN MUNICIPALITIES.
An Important Convention Now Being
Held at Detroit.

An Important Convention Now Being
Held at Detroit.
Detroit, Aug flowing to misun-
Outstanding about the place Of meet
ing, not all the delegates were present
when the second annual meeting of the
League of American Municipalities was
called to order. About two hundred
were in the proper hall, viz: the Light
Infantry armory, while a scattered few
assembled in Light Guard armory, three
blocks distant Governor Pingree was
among those who waited at the wrong
place, but he delivered his welcoming
address later, nevertheless. Mayor
Maybury cordially welcomed the city's
guests. The president. Mayor John
MacVicar of Des Moines, Ia, after a
short response, delivered his annual ad-
dress.
After the adoption of some amend
ments to the leagues constitution, pro-
viding that dues be payable to the
treasurer direct, instead of through the
secretary, the convention adjourned un-
til 2 o'clock At the opening of the
afternoon session Governor Pingree
welcomed the convention and charac-
terized it as the most important which
had met in Detroit, because its object
was study of the great problems of
municipal affairs.
A preliminary injunction was served
upon City Treasurer Thompson and
Comptroller Blades, restraining pay
ment of any portion Of the sum Of S.
600 recently appropriated by the city
council for entertainment of the League
of American Municipalities. The COM
plainants are Clarence A. Rack and
dozen other prominent citizens. The
city charter permits an appropriation
Of $4,000 as entertainment fund. The
$4,000 which Is enjoined is balance re-
ceived from a lighting debt owed to the
city by the county. The compliments
aver that the use Of this money for such
purpose is unauthorized. A similar in
junction was recently served upon the
city school authorities. The circuit
Judge decided that the entertainment
appropriation by the school board is IL
legal, but the question whether private
citizens may bring such a suit Is still
pending with the court.
Detroit, Aug. 3.-Some 500 city ia
theirs and officials attended the second
days session of the League Of American
Municipalities. They constituted, on
the whole an intelligent and consci-
entious appearing body. The feature
of the session was an address upon self

ton of Office to the Emperor.
Berlin, Aug. 1.-THE Berlin Local An
zeiger publishes now for the first time
the full story Of the origin of Prince
Bismarck's letter Of resignation of
March Is, 1890, to Emperor William. The
letter starts in by pointing out the i'm
possibility of acceding to the emperor's
request that Bismarck sign in his ca
pacity of German premier the decree re-
scinding the order of Sept 8, 1852, fix
ing with the premier the entire respon-
sibility for all acts of the crown. The
letter dwells on the impossibility and
says that Bismarck could not retain
the premiership after signing the de-
cree.
1t also strongly and repeatedly ex-
presses the belief that the emperor
would be willing to part with the writ
ers services, the emperor's conduct to-
ward him during the preceding weeks
having been such as to induce that be-
lief. The document is about 800 words
long. 1t has been received with the
greatest interest by the German public
The Local Anzeiger also prints an in
troductory article from Moritz Busch,
Bismarck's ex-secretary, rehearsing the
events preceding the resignation.

One cannot care much for the

an actress great actress.
Mckee Rankin was king at the
Alcazsr then, and this ia how the
chance OF her life came to her, at
he tells it:
The cast OF the play calls for
two nuns, and, to realize the pic

aud then I thought, Why, there's
that tall girl with the fair hair
who came to me with a letter from
Peter Robertson. She'll do. I'll
send for her."
That makes Peter RobertIon,
who is the gentlest of good critics,
sort OF fairy godfather TO the
girl.
Mckee Rankin acted on bis i'm
pulse. He hunted up the letter to
make sure OF the name, aud sen,
for the girl, and so it came abont
that on the night of O,tob1r l6,
1893. she walked on the stags OF
the Alcazar in the somber garb o
a nun, spoke few words and
walked of, aud that there was
