THE COUNT REX.
Has Two Hundred Trunks and
Twelve Servants.

Twelve Servants.
From the New York World.
Count Rex, the newly appointed Ger
man minister of Persia, came up from
Venezuela on Wednesday, stayed in New
York over night and left for Bremen yes
terday on the North German Lloyd steam
er Bremen. The interesting point about him
is that he has 200 trunks and twelve ser
wants.
The count has been German minister in
Venezuela. 'T may not be famous as
statesman" said he, but 1 pay more ex-
cess baggage money than any other mem
Der of the diplomatic corps"
When the count handed his baggage
checks to an expressman and told him to
send his trunks 10 the Hotel Belvidere,
Fourth avenue and Eighteenth street, the
checks were almost as much as the man
could carry. The count is a big and broad
Dragon, more than six feet high and he
handled the big weight of brass with ease.
From every pocket he produced pounds of
checks and piled them into the poor ex-
pressmans arms.
"These things should be made of paper"
said he. 81 wonder that a practical race
like the Americans should force themselves
to carry around so much dead weight as
this"
The trunks are numbered from / to 200,
and the trunk valet keeps a ledger con-
tanning a list of the contents of each piece
of baggage. On the way from Venezuela
this book was accidentally dropped over
board, and when on Wednesday evening
the count called for dress suit. No. 9S and
a particular onesof the decorations conferr-
ed upon him by the kaiser they had to open
all the trunks 10 get it. 1t was found of
course in the last trunk.
That's always the way" said the
Count land the plan to avoid il in flu
ture is to always look in the last trunk
first"
It took six servants to dress the minis
ter to Persia the other morning. When
they surrounded him the scene was very
much like battle. 1t looked as if they
were trying to hustle him out of the room

A CRAZY KING NEAR HIS END.
Otto of bavaria Cannot Last Much
Longer.


From the Baltimore American.
Gable news has it that King Otto of
Bavaria is nearing his end at Fuersten-
ried, one of the royal castles of the South
German monarchy. He has been hope
lessly insane since the summer of 1884,
and his aged uncle Prince Leopold, is the
regent of the kingdom, yet the royal title
is sim vested in the useless piece of clay
surrounded by a host of lackeys and
drones, who approach and serve their m
sane master with all outward signs OF
homage and respect, while they and an
the world know of his utter decay-for he
is the King.
From an American point of view it
would make no difference whether a king
or somebody else is crazy, for we have
learned long since that an insane person
Is patient and not a criminal; that the
morbid fancies and crazy antics Ct suen
an unfortunate being should be covered
with the cloak of charity rather than ex-
posed to the public gaze; but in the case
of King Otto the Bavarian government
ignores the fact of intellectual death ami
insists that the mere animal body which
remains is sacred and exempt from COM
ment in press and talk. II is this fact
which makes King Otto's ailment and his
antecedents a legitimate subject for pub
nc view, ana II Is thls Iact, deeply depfor
able from the plane of common brother
hood of mankind, which furnishes one If
the proofs why even the Germany of to-
day is not fit for a government of the
people, for the people, and by the people.
Since a more conservative statement Of
the Kings malady by one of the foremost
journals of Germany, Maximilian Harden
of Die Zukunft, has subjected this journ-
nalist to punishment which ordinarily
is melted out only to tramps beggars,
abandoned women and the like 1t might
be well to speak of the patient and his ilk.
1t will be surprising to most American
readers to learn that the present King
was demented person when he succeed
ed his brother King Ludwig II, who died

TO MAINTAIN ETERNAL YOUTH.
Youthful Centenarian Tells How She
Has Learned the Way.

Has Learned the way.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrst
Trenton, N. Mrs. Lydia Parsons. as
though she had discovered the fabulous
fountain of youth, continues to grow
younger. The disappearance of the IN
ffrmities of age has attracted more atten-
ton to the benign woman who. on her
next birthday, will become a centenarian.
For twenty-five years she wore spec
tacles. Then suddenly, as If by magic
she laid aside her spectacles and read
without glasses, and continues to do so
as easily as she did when she was a
young girl
For twelve years Mrs. Parsons was
deaf. Then, as though quaf1ng more deep
ly from the fountain of youth, the faculty
of hearing was restored to the perfection
or her girlhood. She can detect whis-
per at some distance from her
The last marvellous happening to her Is
the appearance of black hair, of the color
that crowned her head when she was a
bewtching brunette.
IF keep on improving as have In the
last few months" says Mrs Parsons. who
has twenty grandchildren, ''I shall soon be
as gay as I was eighty years ago."
The fountain of youth discovered by
Mrs. Parsons, according to her, is a sim
pie thing after all, within the reach Of
every one. To be young Mrs. Parsons
makes the following recommendations
Read the Bible.
Have a clear conscience.
Eat plain food.
Remember that Sufficient to the day Is
the evil thereof"
Get up early in the morning and go to
bed early at night.
Never worry.
Il was born with a strong constitu-
ton" Mrs. Parsons says, land have al
ways enjoyed good health except that
long time ago I had rheumatism once in
a while when the weather was damp But
that has completely disappeared"

EDITOR News Why do not the Repub-

miners would get an advance in wages,
and that iron furnaces and all the differ
ent Industries would startup on nancy
hanks trot, but since Hanna gained the
day there have been about half n dozen
cuts in wages; counting miners, coke
workers and all. In 1879 when the
Democratic Congress passed the silver
bill, republicans opposed it and President
vetoed it on the ground that so much
silver put in circulation would depreciate
its value and make SOC dollars and ruin
the credit OF our nation, but the Demo-
crats passed the bill over his vetoe and
what happened? 1t put much more
money in circulation and the interest
was cut down so money men could make
more with their money in manufactur-
ing enterprises, iron furnaces, machine
shops, coalmining, timber lands, etc.
And 80 they rushed out in haste In the
South aud many places and built rail-
roads, new towns and business was

The more money there is in circulation
the more business there is done and the
higher the wages of the men. When
there is little money in the country labor
