PORTRAIT MUTILATED.
Painting Of Kaiser Frederick OF GER
many Cut I'm Two on board the
Steamer Of That Name

A life size portrait Of Kaiser Fred
ericlz, the father of the present emperor
of Germany, which hung in the reading
room Of the North German Lloyd steam
ship Kaiser Frederick, has been cut in
two. The vandalism was discovered by
Capt. Stoermer, Of the Kaiser Fred
erick, as he was conducting a party Of
friends through the steamship, which
is now lying at its pier in HobOken.
There was a rent in the large canvas
across the neck Of the likeness, as
though the miscrcaut had endeayored
TO decapitate the subject of the portrait,
Ever since the Kaiser Frederick ar.
rived two days late on its maiden vOy-
age the officials had more or less trouble
with the 100 members of the crew, but
the differences have arisen mostly on
account Of an ardent desire OF the Ger
mans to help pay Uncle Sans increased
beer tax.
The portrait OF Kaiser Frederick.
Capt. Stoermer said, was painted by
Walter Peterson, Of Dusseldorf, and
cost $4,000.

Job Printers ana sign Painters Are
Great ORenGerH Against the
PrODrieties OF EnEIish.

Spelling has been defined as an act
Of memory, and many great authors
who could remember all the leading
events Of the Peloponnesian war could
not be certain whether IL was "princi-
pie" or principal" Outside Of a com
POsitOr OF proof reader, who are sup
posed to be infaIlible, the next best
speller ought to be a sign painter,
whose work is set in high places As
q matter Of fact, he isn't and neither is
q job printer. OF course, this excerpts
the high-cIass men, but the second and
all the lower classes never consult a die
tiOnary and depend on their memory
with disastrous results
Their and there are transposed.
the plural and the possessive case are
eOnfOunded, and occasionally we see
the s or n upside down. As to faults
Of phrasing, they are exceedingly com
mon. Handsome Ladies Suits" and
superb Boys Pants doesn't mean that
at all, and who has not smiled at at
zone Dollar WOmens COrsets'' and
''CheaP Mems Vests"
Even the big tradesmeu offend. In
certain confectionery store, which shall
be nameless, as the novelists say, there
Is a collection Of candy boxes, and the
sign reads: These boxes are exact
faesimiles Of the eight-inch projectiles
used by our navy, and they are about
One-third actual size"
Further along the same street is a
window displaying women's under
wear, and the sign reads: Every
thing in this window for 25 cents!F
How surprised the proprietor would be
II some grammarian would proffer him
a quarter of a dollar for the lot!
But what shall be said Of the sign
that reads: National Shoe Repairing
Co. Look at Our Pricesl Only IS Min
utes OF Wait" To substitute "ot'' for
''tO" looks as if the painter stood on
his head, but there II is a serene tribute
to the ignorance of the painter and pro-
prietOr alike.-Chicago Times-Herald.

| in width, which gives plenty of room for
a big list of contestants to run on. 1t is
| laid with sawdust which makes it springy
| and soft for the feet. The seats are ar
ranged in ampitheatre style and every
seat in the hall affords a full view of the
track and will enable every one to wit
ness the different contests without any
inconvenience.
The following is the program, which

tlemen chosen from the audience. The

board in full view of the audience so that
every one can see how each contestant is
progressing.

ment and it should be a big success, es-
peciaTy as one-half of the receipts go
towards a worthy cause.-the building of
a new floor and sheds at the Children's
Home.
Special arrangements have been made
for the comfortable seating of the ladies
and the sale of reserved seats already
proves they will grace the occasion by
