A lively controversy is raging in
Berlin just now as to where the money
is to come from to defray the cost of
the kaiser's approaching visit to
Jerusalem. Even though his majesty
is to go as a Cooks tourist, the ex-
pense entailed by the expedition wiz
be very considerable; and, as all the
world knows, the imperial privy purse
is by no means too well filled at the
present time. There is rumor that
the kaiser may ask subjects to come
to his assistance in the matter; and,
in consideration of the advantage
that may accrue to the empire from
his stay in the east, add to his civil list
special grant in aid this year. If he
be well advised, however, he will
think twice--nay, even thrice-before
doing anything of the kind, for, judg-
ing by the tone in which the subject
is being discussed, his chance of OBJ
tanning a single pfennig is nil, no mat
ter how pcrsausiyely DR.. Won Miguel
may plead for him. Indeed, bitter
complaints are already to be heard
on all sides as to the way the civil list
has increased in these latter days.
The present kaiser's income is more
than twice as large as that which the
old kaiser had; and yet he is always
in sore need of money, to the infinite
dismay of his cheese-paring Prus-
slams, who cannot conceive what he
does with his income.-Pall Mall Ga
zette.

His name is James Havlik, and he
stands six feet and four inches in his
stockings.
HavlilS was notable parsonage
among the crowd that gathered at the
Pennsylvania depot the other evening
to greet the naval reserves. His long
form was conspicuous from almost any
point of observation and the attention
he attracted and the admiring COM
ments called forth by his athletic
build were sufficient to turn the head
of a prince. But Havlik appeared alto
gether unconscious of the buzz of ad-
miration that constantly surrounded
him. He discussed the fine points OF
Capt. Clark's ship and the command
er's superior ability as naval officer
as coolly as he might If talking alone
with messmate instead of crowd

Havlik was gunner's mate of the
Oregon. He was with that ship when
1t left San Francisco and came with

Horn, and afterward, when Cervera's
fleet attempted to escape from Santi-

deadly effect. He lost track Of the

OF the Oregon's part in the fight
Hawk could not speak too highly.
1T tore through the water after the
Spaniards," he said, "at rate that
certainly astonished the other yes
sells in the fleet, and the way it pumped
shells into the fleeing Spanish vessels
must have given the dons an idea of
their folly in engaging in war with
a first-class nation. We all considered
on the Oregon that the Spaniards made
a foolish and unwarranted move in at
tempting to leave the harbor. Capt.
Clark said to some of the ships off,
GERS after the battle was over that
Admiral Ceryera had greatly assisted
the army in capturing Santiago, and
he also intimated that had he remained
within the harbor for another week a
possible disaster might have overtaken
our soldiers. Chicago Chronicle.

private McElroth wooed Deatb

At the grim battle in the typhoon be-
fore Manila, on the night of July 81,
there was no more dramatic incident
than the death of Private McElroth, of
battery H, Third United States artil-
lery. The darkness and the terrible
flre Of the Spaniards made the situa-
tIon Of the American boys trying
one. and they wayered In their
trenches. Suddenly Private MoElroth,
who was acting as sergeant, jumped
from the trench and mounted the par-
apet. walking courageously up and
down a. an example to the men. The
battery caught McElroth's spirit and
was steadied in moment. But McEl-
roth fell, fatally wounded in the head.

conpanied by as many mon. boarded
the train. At once the young women
spied the invalid soldier. and without
more ado deserted their escorts and
focked about him. The young women
were pretty, and the soldier began to
show signs Of returning health. They
were SO persuasive, too, that finally
they induced him to tell some of his
experiences. The result was that in
a few minutes all the feminine portion
of the audience was in tears, and the
soldier story-teller had to cut short
his narrative.
All the while the train was bowling
along, and soon the home station Of
the youngswomen was reached. Of
course, that meant that they had to
get off. just as the station was
reached demure looking miss, with
the roses mantling her cheeks, looked
bashfully about her, and then, with an
independent toss of her head, stopped
over the young soldier and kissed his
pale cheek. Fourteen other young
women promptly followed suit. Tears
came to the eyes of the gallant Seven
ty-first man; and then the young wom-
EN- were gone.
The soldier looked happy for long
time afterward, and somehow it
seemed that the remaining passengers
on the train shared the happiness.
And 1t was worth noticing that even
the escorts of the young women ap-
peared not disposed to find fault.--N.
