bismarck: Secret Pages of His
Life"

1t is safe to say that, had Emperor
William known what was coming out
in MoritZ Busch's recently published
book entitled Bismarck: Some Secret
Pages of His History" he would not
have been SO persistent in paying his
respects TO the dead chancellor in the
face Of Prince Herbert's snubbing in
difference. Bismarck did not think
highly of princes Of the royal blood,
and to his "Buschlein" did not hest
tate to speak slightingly of them. For
example, during the Franco-Prussian
war, according to Busch's Secret
Pages" the chancellor made this re-
mark:
1.-The principal reason why the bonn
bardment of Paris is delayed is the
sentimentality of the queen of Eng
land and the interference of Queen Au-
gusta That seems to be a character
istic of the Hohenzollerns-their wom-
en- folk always have great influence
upon them. 1t was not so with Fred
erick the Great, but with his successor
and the late king, as we'll as the pres
ent most gracious and his future ma
jesty. They want to be praised They
like to have it said in the. English and
French press that they are considerate
and generous" And Of the princes
about the court he said: "They are
like flies; there is no getting rid of
them, and the Duke of Weimer is the
worst of the lot"
He regarded Queen Augusta, wife of
Emperor William l., with a cordial ha-
tired, and, contrary to general belief,
looked upon the old emperor with
feeling much akin to contempt. "He
loves posing and the appearance of au-
thority," said Bismarck to his conf
dant. "He sees and hears nothing, and
no argument or evidence makes any
impression upon him."
Thus did the statesman record his
sentiments in regard to royalty, and
as one reads thrust after thrust at the
integrity and sincerity of kings, queens
and princes the conviction grows that
the memory Of Bismarck would be re-
garded with much more respect had

actress on the American stage still finds it
necessary to appear regularly as her i'll
health will permit. Clara Morris is still In
since she was one of the most prosperous
actresses in the country. But the number OF
actors who became wealthy is always less
than the number OF those whose earnings are
large. No more striking instance of this
could be found than Sarah Bernhard She
has probably received larger sums in her
time than any other actress on the stage, yet
her chronic impecuniosity is notorious in the
profession.
One of the last acts of the late empress

THROUGH THE COUNTRY,

THE Progressive Women of America" is
a national organization of recent birth, and
of unique character. The working principle
is embodied in the words, 'To be progressive
we must hold communication with many peo-
pie Of many ideas and its method of or
ganizatlon is noteworthy.
Seven or more women may form circle by
sending to the founder and director of the
Progressive Women of America a written re-
quest for a charter Of membership. On being
assigned number-circles are designated by
numbers. from 1 upward, according to pri-
GRITTY Of their formation-the circle adopts q
constitution and bylaws in harmony with
the original one and elects a president, vice
president, secretary and treasurer.
The object of the club is "the discussion of
the topics of the day and questions of interest
to women, and the bringing of its members
Into communication for acquaintance and mu-
tual helpfulness."
The general director outlines the course of
study for the year and each circle announces
to her the results Of It's discussions during
the month Besides this report, each circle
is also to instruct its secretary to write one
letter a month to some other circle for the
purpose of exchanging ideas on discussed top
ics
An important feature of the Progressive
Women Of America, and indeed one of it's
principal reasons for being, is that club life
may be brought to the woman who Is so
isolated-living on farm or ranch, for ex-
ample-as to be deprived OF all advantages
Of clubs or other social organizations. For
her benefit, special provision Is made for nom
resident membership.
Mrs. Merriam, of Minneapolis, is the
founder of the organization, and its general
director this year.
Side Talks to Club Women" by President
Mckinley may be one Of the attractions at
the convention of the Illinois State Fedora
ton, to be held in Chicago, Oct. 10 to 81. If
teasing will count for anything the presi-
dent will come, but even If he doesn't, the
women have prepared a programme which
cannot fail to be interesting and instructive.
To those members Of the National w. C. r
U. who are working for the retention of the
Chicago temple, the knowledge that the pres
ident, Mrs. Stevens, and Miss Anna Gordon,
both intimate friends of the late Miss Will
ard, will oppose them at the approaching
convention, must be formidable. Mrs. Stew
ems was for more than twenty years init
mately associated with Miss Willard and
was among those who were called to the late
presidents death bed. What she says, there
fore, to the assembly that will gather in st.
Paul, Nov. II, regarding Miss WIZARDS wish
es concerning the temple, will have consider
able weight, for the stronghold of the tenn
plars is that Miss Willard wanted the women
to keep the building In their control.

More War BIunders.

While the president Is seeking to find scme
one who has more less OF the public con-
fldence to form a commission Of investiga-
ton of the evils which have disgraced the
nation in the treatment OF the soldiers, the
laundering continues to go on. Take the
case of the hospital ship Relief, for example

wonderful ability Of the war department to

seventy sick soldiers at Camp Montauk who
belong in this state and now can be moved

If the sick Massachusetts men would be in
cluded in the number, ard the reply was
yes. But instead of seventy Massachusetts
men, the Relief brought only sixteen. The
state Is ready and happy of course, to Pro-
vide the sick with comforts, no matter where
they belong, but there seems to be no rea-
son why the Massachusetts, men should It
have been sent on the Relief, as promised
There was more laundering in sending the
Relief here. She arrived four hours before
she was expected, and without notice. Tn =
result was that there was much delay in
conveying the suffering soldiers to places Of
comfort. If these things allowed to oc-
cur at this late date, it Is scarcely to be
wondered at that we have heard such tales
of ineffciency and neglect in previous DAYS

The Sanguine Mr.. Overstreet.

Secretary Overstreet, Of the Repub-
lican congressional campaign COM
mittee, is sanguine rather than
logical. He argues to himself and
to the public that the returns
from Vermont and Maine ARE
gratifying." Mr.. Overstreet has some
thing of a sunny nature. He finds that
there is something gratifying in the
large Republican losses in the two
states named. There is much that is
gratifying, but nothing that should
particularly appeal to his sense Of
what is good.
Mr. OVerstreet furnished the info
nation about which the Republican
press Of the country made such q to
do a couple Of weeks ago. He had
been on a tour of the country and he
had furnished to the elect Of the press
of his party certain figures. The re-
suit of the sending out Of the statistics
was that such papers as the San Fran
cisco Argonaut Immediately claimed
the whole country. The ArgOnaut said
that there would be an increase in the
Republican majority in the house and
admitted that the only state in which
there was a possibility of loss was
Illinois, where two naturally Demo-
cratic districts were expected to go
back The paper quoted said that there
was no chance of Minnesota going
wrong, from the Republican point Of
view-that the entire congressional
delegation would be elected.
The other morning our esteemed Re-
Press, upset all. Of the calculations of
Mr.. Overstreet by announcing that
there was grave danger Of the Repub-
licans losing both the Sixth and Sew
enth districts Of this state The Pioneer
Press has come to a realizing sense of
the danger of the grand old party in
those two districts. Within a week il
will set up a wall about the Third dis
trict. Says the Pioneer Press:
Our advices from the Seventh con-
gressional district hardly bear out the
optimistic view which we expressed
yesterday as to the prospects in that
Populist stronghold. Congressman Ed
dy has a hard fight before him, and
the same is true of Norris"
The fact is Mr.. Overstreet is graft
sounds we'll His party carried Oregon
and Rhode Island in June by large ma
jorities. The war was just under way.
Now that the story of the conduct or
that war, of the heartless rapacity Of
the war department, of the incom-
potency of it's staff, of the sufferings or
the soldiers in camp and field is be-
ing told the effect is showing itself
even in such states as Maine and Yer
mont. The victorious war is likely to
cost the Republican party some power

This little bit Of sarcasm from Dorothy
Morton at the Metropolitan opera house last
evening drew q laugh from the audience,

The opera was we'll presented and sung by
Miss Morton and her company. Miss Morton
sang the dual part Of the title role and did
it excellently. Her solo, Il Love Him So,''
in the second act was encored three times.
In this act also she frightened the perform
ance with a few local hits that brought ap-
preciative laughter. In the scene where she
is alone while her wedding guests are mer-
ry and she determines to have glass of
vine CT her account she made a number Of
local hits that went well. She gave dig

Webb, as Marisqun, was graceful and eff
