Private Life.
Prince Bismarck retired into private life
in March, 1880, when the young emperor,
who evidently feared being dwarfed by tho
great chancellor and wanted himself 20
rule Germany, conferred upon him the title
of Duke of LaneEburg. After his retire.
Rent it became known that deep personal
differences had latterly arisen between
himself and the emperor. and that the ex-
chancellor felt an aggrfeved party. He ex-
pressed his opinions of everything in the
press and elsewhere He was in 1881, in
duced to stand for the reichstag, TO which
he was elected, but in the next year he
announced that he would never again hold
office. But he talked freely in interviews
for newspapers, and Cid not hesitate TO
criticise the government. In 1894 the prince
lest his wife, whom he had married before
he had become a prominent character in
the world.
complete history cf the life OF Bismarck
would be no less than history of Euro
pean diplomacy during half century. In
touch with the men who welded the power
in his neighboring states, he was always
ready TO take advantage of a favorable
alliance TO carry out his purposes to threat
en- war or to play his cards for peace as
the one or the other course might best aid
in the advancement of the empire. He was
long regarded the man who kept the
great armies of Europe from ciashtng. He
was an imperiaiist always. and Il ruthless
foe of the people who sought for greater
voice in the affairs OF government, or de-
sired to limit imperial power through con-
st:tutienal restrictions He was positive In
his opinions and always fought IN the open.
His diplomacy was characterized by an
outspoken manner that often surprised rep
resentatises of other governments His
policies were at least consistent and for
the upbuliding Of the grea: German empire. /

the wagon How the accident happened is
not positively known, as no one was pres
ent, but he probably tried to draw out some
of the sticks on which the lumber rested and
thus threw the pile off it's balance. The en-
tire wall of timbers fell and struck him on
the back Cook no doubt realized his dan
ger and turned to run away, but it was too
late, for the heavy timbers knocked him
against small pile about four feet in height
and pinned him against the sharp corners
OF the boards. Most of the lumber which
fell struck on the mans head and back
Whether his skull was fractured or the
weight of the boards slowly strangled him
will be determined at the autopsy to be per-
formed today.
Foreman Smith heard the noise of the
fall and went to the scene of the accident
and there discovered Cook several minutes
after the timber fell The mans pulse
was beating slightly, but he died in a
short time after the arrival of help.
Mrs. Cook had been visiting at her sis.
ter's house within half a block of the lum-
Der yard and she was notified of the death
Of her husband. She went to the yard and
was nearly prostrated with grief. The
body was removed to the undertaking rooms
of Orr Il Hines, where an inquest will be
held this morning at 10 o'clock. The de-
ceased was about 43 years of age, and leaves
a widow and three children, the eldest OF
whom is boy IS years old. Mr.. Cook had

Corea's Government Is a Farce

Oriental advices give curious details of
the farcical government in Corea Three
times daily sacrifices are offered to the
dead empress which all court officials must
attend. One of these ceremonies falls at 9
o'clock in the morning, and to miss single
occasion may mean disgrace and death.
There are constant changes in office. Of
late the ministers have been trading places
among themselves. The minister of war
and minister of justice recently changed
jobs. Then the minister who went into the
war office changed with the foreign minister.
There have also been several changes be-
tween the home department and the depart
ment of finance. Besides this, all of the
higher officials are rivals in supplying Of
fees to their relatives. One high official,
Kim Kongih, provided valuable positions
for seven relatives, including two brothers,
his father-in-law, brother-in-law and niece.
Four were made magistrates, the niece was
made imperial grave keeper, another chief
of the mining bureau, and the seventh a
commander in the Corean army-New York

about one foot, single timber, in width.

WHOLESALE MILK
Will Remain at the Same Price That
Has Ruled Until Now

The ASSOCIATION of Los Angeles dairymen
met last evening at l2l South Broadway to
discuss ways and means of raising the whole
sale price of milk.
DR.. Luther M. Powers, city health officer,
spoke concerning thS quality of milk sold
in Los Angeles. He characterized the milk
as exceptionally good, better, in fact, than
in most cities of the same size. He stated
that the milk had improved the past few
years from two per cent of solids to an aver
age of three and eight-tenths per cent He
stated that for the quality of milk furnished
that the dairymen were fully justified in rails
ing prices. DIR. Powers also spoke concern
ing the necessity of appointing a city chemist
to assist the board of health.
The matter of raising the wholesale price
of milk from fifty cents per can to seventy
five cents per can or twenty-five cents per
gallon, was then discussed, and on vote it
was decided for. the. present that the. price
should remain as it is.

THE BUILDING ASSOCIATION MISTAKE.


We regret that there is continued
controversy over the denouement of
the home Building Association, the
parent Of much good, and now the
corpus Of much discussion and dis
tress. There was scarcely the nee
essity of so sudden, or really of any
demise. Practically, there was in
herent in lis construction the con.
tinuation of its own existence. The
borrower gave security, always pre-
sumed to be ample and expected to
be first lien. The subscriber was
fully protected by those liens, as
we'll as by his voice and vote in
meetings. Only Withdrawals could
affect them, and they, under the by
laws, were so regulated as not to be
dangerous, and at all times could be
the subject of amicable adjustment.
A little stringency and-puff-away
went the enterprise, only to be adj
ministered by assignees and courts,
with due consideration and applica-
ton of constitution, bylaws and
contracts. Into court it is, and it
is there to stay, so censure now is
useless. That every person who
subscribed has right to his invest
ment as well as profit Herewith, can
not be gainsaid. That evidently was
the ruling motive, as appears by in
ference from the terms of the assign
ment, and the effort to besmirch the
profession of law, by the Statesman,
to cover tracks, is as the shadow of
a fleeing operator. Better let it rest
now, and the court may prove a wis
err counsellor and a more efficient
protector, than those who yielded the
members rights without the form of
their consent. A more tentative
hold of affairs would have tided all
safely into port, and prevented the
injurious rumors and kilograms that
went forth against home interests.
