LONDON, Sept. II, 1S9S.-The leading
newspapers here seathingly review Herr
Moritz Busch S Life Of Prince Bis
march, which was recently published.
The general opinion is that both the
author and his idol suffered greatly by
the revelations made.
The British, naturally, chiefly resent
the late Prince Bismarclxs expressions of
hostility to Great Britain and to the
Queen and her daughter, the former EN-
press Frederick of Germany. with which
the book teens.
The Daily Telegraph says that if the
work reveals the real Bismarck. he low
cred the moral tone of the whole of Eu-
rope, adding
Every one knew he made INSCRIPTIONS
use of the press; but, according to Herr
Busch, he deliberately instructed his hire
lings to disseminate absolute falsehoods.
The Times remarks.-
1T was reserved to the sublime uncon-
seriousness of one of his sincerest wor-
shippers to expose all the meanness. du-

qualities

RELIEF CORPS BUSY.
Five Men Taken to Christ
Hospital = One Case
Thought Serious.

1t was one of the busiest days yester-
day the Relief Committee at the P. r. +,
depot has yet seen. All day long the cots
were filled with soldiers too weak to sit
up, and the nurses had all they could do
10 ship patients to Christ Hospital or
help them aboard the trains. There was
one case, thought to be typhoid, which
looked serious. The majority Of the men
were from the transport ship Alamo,
which arrived in dock yesterday morning,
and the stories they tell of suffering en-
route are simply touching. Sick men
were left without attendance or proper
care. while those in health were without
sufficient food. They were all hungry
upon their arrival here and told the
nurses much Of interest both about them
selves and Porto Rico as they fairly de-
voured the sandwiches offered. The sick
men were of course at once put to bed in
the hospital car until the ambulance or
trains arrived, as the case might be.
Among those taken to Christ Hospital

This morning the committee were again
on hand early as usual, though they
were pretty tired from yesterdays work
There was plenty to do up to about twelve
o'clock when there was a lull with only
one sick man on the cots. He WAS John
Robinson, of the Sixth Infantry, Ken

Hospital The Government Hospital train

A Crafty Little Merchant.

From the Philadelphia Record.
He was about the latest roly-poly of a
boy that one would see in long days
walk. AS he waddled along excitedly at
tempting to whistle after a York and Dau-
phin street car he aroused the laughter of
all who happened to be in sight of him.
The conductor of the car finally saw him
and yanked the bell to stop. The fat boy
pulled I'D and rolled on board. Pretty
hard fur a fat Teller to have to run fur a
car" he pulled, grinhing good-naturedly
upon the carful of passengers. Everybody
grinned back at him. and two or three pas
sengers squeezed up to give him a seat. He
sat down, with his round face still beaming
good humoredly upon his fellow passengers.
The latter watched him amusedly. The boy
carried a small basket on his arm. and
after a while. when he had recovered his
breath, he took handful of chocolate
candies from this basket and walked along
the aisle, giving each passenger a piece.
Then he resumed the seat and the passen-
gers laughing across the car to each other.
began munching their candy. The fat boy
waited until nearly all the candy had been
eaten, whereupon he arose again and with
O Itstretched palm went the rounds again,
saying, 'One cent apiece, please" The
passengers were simply dumfounded, but
they had all eaten their candy, and there
was nothing for them to do but cough up
their pennies. The boy collected about 10
cents and at the next street he got on the
car, whistling merrily.
