ECHOES FROM ABROAD.

Popular is too tame an expression when
applied to the German empress, so far
as concerns the estimation in which she
is held in Berlin, and indeed there is
but one voice in that respect throughout
the whole country. among rich and poor,
low and high-born. Bismarck knew what
he was about when he effected a match
between Princess Augusta Victoria,
daughter of the mediatized ducal house
of Schleswig- -Holstein, poor and uninflu-
entail. and the then Prince William OF

Queen Louise Of Prussia there has not
been a lady on the throne who possessed
the gift of making herself universally be-
loved in such an eminent degree as the
present German empress.
A characteristic incident was told about
the empress lately. An American resident
of Berlin was i'll and az the hospital, and
during her stay there the empress called,
as she often does, in her unobtrusiye, gen
tie way, to console and alleviate the suf-
ferings Of the patients. She described the
scene as so genuinely touching as 10 bring

and kindness was this august lady. When
she approached the bedside of the stran-
ger. this American, there was, If any
thing, a heightened compassion in her
voice and manner as she inquired into the
particulars of the case. The empress

Germany was not acquainted with the
fact. the empress has acquired a new ac-
complishment during the time of her en-
forced abstention from equestrianism-
namely. bicycle riding. This the physi-
clans told her she might indulge in to
some extent. and. although the emperor
did not exactly approve of 1t. and had

thorities that bicycling would improve
the health of his wife. The empress
therefore has learned to manage a good

England. Her teacher was a young lady
expert belonging to her court, Countess
Meta Roeder; and the empress was an apt
pupil, needing but two lessons in all be-
fore being able to mount. ride and dis
mount with reasonable skill. During the
Easter vacations of her two eldest boys
Frederick William and Eitel Fritz, she
regularly rode in their company in the
extensive grounds around the castle of
Hamburg, and TO this park thus far her
bicycle exercise has been confined.
The Romans are laughing at Donna

recently at Rome the celebrated IL An

of two other women, both living at the
time, and without legal separation. The
first Mrs. Crispi he married in Malta with
the religious ceremony. Size was SIM

the second Mrs. Crispi in Italy by the
civil marriage the first wife was made to
believe that the church marriage per-
formed between herself and Crispi was
not legal unless followed by the civil mar
riage. So she made no protest to his sec
ond marriage. She was the legal wife
however, for Malta, being under the En-
glish, was not subject TO the Italian laws

Among these churches built by the en-
press are some of great beauty and archi-
tectural charm. such, for instance, as the
Emperor William Memorial Church, a
structure which cost altogether 5000. 600
marks Tor about $1,000. .OOO), and which was
erected with funds subscribed voluntarily,
some of the wealthiest Jews of Berlin
having contributed considerable sums to-
ward it. This church. until the new Pro-
testant cathedral shall have been finished,
will remain the finest of all in Berlin.
Throughout Germany, especially Prussia,
whenever a church needs to be built the
promoters of the plan are always sure TO
find help and influence in favor of the
task if they appeal to the empress.
1t would, however, be a mistake to sup
pose that the empress is Of a sad or mar
row disposition. On the contrary, she is
cheerful and enjoys all harmless and de-
cent amusement, including sport of every
kind. 1t is well known that she is very
fond of rowing sailing, fishing, of fenc-
ing, driving, bicycle exercise. and, most Of
ALL of horseback riding. She is, now that

doned the saddle, probably the best horse

through six weeks, has been of such

On redirect by Mr.. Worthington Van
Sender stated the understanding between
him and Havener about the note was that
If he (Van Senden) could use it, it would
be worth 500. He told Canty that he had
the note.
Manville A. WertZ, an employe at the
Treasury testified: "On the day of the
shooting was on Street. between Four
teenth and Fifteenth Streets; heard a
shot and looked toward the Ebbitt House
and saw man falling; started east on

where the man was lying in the street.

told him or the officer that the man who
had the knife was over there. The man
gave the knife to officer Riley. who was
about the middle of the street.
The witness was shown the knife in evil
dence. and said it was very similar to
the one the boy had on the day of the

one say that something had dropped.

HIS LAST CIGAR.
,tw a Clergyman Was Cured of the Taste
For Tobacco.

Jaw a Clergyman Was Cured of the Taste
For Tobacco.
| An English clergyman, who was a hard
smoker, was cured Of the taste for tobacco
| by a sudden twinge of conscience.
He was sitting one day in his library
| with an expensive cigar In bis mouth
| when the name of one of his oldest friends
was announced The visitor, when greet
ings had been warmly exchanged, con
fessed that be had come upon begging
Grand
A story of pathetic distress was told,
and an urgent appeal was made for imlne-
diate relief The Clergyman was warm
hearted, generous man, and his hand was
plunged at once into his pocket bot be
found only few shillings there. he then
fumbod in bis desk for his checkbouk, re-
marking 10 his friend that IL was a very
sad and urgent case and that he would 90
what he could, but when he looked at his
bank balance his face changed color. The
account was nearly overdrawn already.
Il am very sorry, " he said. Il can only
give you a bcggarly sum. / did not know
how poor i was
The check which he drew was only a
fifth of the amount which was needed.
He made many apologies for giving the
visitor so little money when his heart was
deeply touched, and he longed 10 do more.
When his friend had gone, he reliahted
his cigar, but it seemed to have bitter
taste, and he took out fresh one. Before
striking match he jotted down on paper
the price of the cigar, and the number
which he usually smoked a day. He found
that tobacco was costing him shillings a
day and over 800 year, or about
$3.50 in American money. The amount
which he had given to his old friend in
dire distress represented the cost of 90
days smoking
The clergyman was an impulsive man.
Instead of lighting his fresh cigar of the
choicest brand he threw it into the fire on
his hearth. He was so deeply impressed
with the thought that little self denial
on his part would have enabled him to
help an old friend in great need that he re-
solved sternly never to smoke again. Be-
ing a man of strong will, he was as good
as his word.
This good mans tobacco bill was a
heavier one than is ordinarily paid. But
many smoker would be surprised if he
were TO count the cost of his own self in
diligence in tobacco.
A recent investigation has shown that
the students of military academy in
England expend enough money on cigar
cites to provide for the education of ~
young men too poor to have the same adj
yantages. The effects of tobacco on health
may be disputed, but no smoker can deny
that smoking is a wasteful habit and that
there would be large compensations for
self denial.-Youth's Companion.

The Chinook.

While the north wind blows every breath
ing thing shrinks and covers. The mere
holding on to life is a struggle for poor
unsheltered animals, and the longer it
lasts the harder is the struggle and the less
their strength for it. But there comes
change in the air. Some night on look
ing out we see that the clouds have rolled
upward, as If curtain we're lifted in the
west, leaving a well defined arch of clear
sky with stars shining in it. That arch
means that the west wind, the preserver,
is on his way, and sometimes we hear his
voice beforehand in long, distant roar
among the mountaips. When next morn
ing breaks, the north wind has fled, over
come.
