In the preface to the new edition Of Mr.. Hen
leys poems curious passage occurs. 1t runs
as follows: For the matter Of my book, it is
there TO speak for itself:
"'Heres a sigh to those who love
And smile to those who hate
refer to il for the simple pleasure Of reflect
Ing that it has made me many friends and some
enemies" As there is not a line in the book ut
which it is conceivable that any human being
could take offence on personal grounds we are
driven to surmsr that Mr.. IIcnlcy's critics are
his "cncmcS." that you only have to disagree
with him for him 10 feel that you are actuaed
by hatred 1t is II strange view and strangcst
of all in Mr.. Henley. who seems rather to brag
OF his Indifference to the sings and arrows of
outrageous fortune. His conception of what adj
verse criticism implies is, alas. shared by many
poets ana other writer's. 1t is one of the oldest
things ever implanted in human nature Why
Should one be IN enemy of Mr.. lIenloy's because
one does MT think him great poet? Intellect
ual differences are compatible with the warm
est affection. To seek in personalities for the
explanation Of severe judgment upon ones
Productions is to play the ostrich.

il may be that Mr.. Lcahcrdalcs fearful rhymes

Parkersburg, w. Va, October 15.-
The Kitchens woman under arrest in
New York City, charged with the rob-
berry of Frank l.. Herdic, the pool
seller, is believed to be tie murderess
of William Beatty, wealthy oil man,
the crime having been committed in
this city on July 8, 1897. Mrs. Kitchens
left her home near Morgantown, West
Virginia, where she married James
Kitchens, a prosperous young mer-
chant, and entered upon a life Of
shame. After living here with Beatty
for several months, the two Quarreled

into his face, the deadly liquid destroy
ing his eyesight and burning mis- body
terribly, causing death. The murderess
was spirited away, and the victim of
her wrath lived but three months, his
suffering being indescribable. Mrs.
Kitchens is known TO have passed
through Farkersburg on her way east
after the murder, her intention being
to enter a hospital to have her foot,

NSOpyflSU 1SoOSioNOo 1885,
Berlin, October 15.-Emperor Will
Jams departure for the Orient has
started discussion as to the advis-
ability of the establishment of a
regency
The rreisinnige Zeitung says:
when the Emperor and King of
Prussia leaves the country for any
length of time, as in the present in
stance, a duly empowered person ought
in the meanwhile to seize the relns
of government"
1t urges that the matter be brought
before the Reichstag.
A number Of the leading papers sup
port the regency proposition, while
several of the Conservative papers
scout this view.
The whole matter of. the Emperor's
trip to the Holy Land will be threshed
out early during the coming session
of the Reichstag. In governmental
circles the opinion is expressed that it
is not fair to expect the Emperor to
bear the entire expenses Of the jour-
ney. 1t is said that the cost of His
Majesty's trip, exclusive Of presents
and liberal backsheesh, will amount to
at least five million marks. The costly
gifts to the Sultan of Turkey and his
harem, etc, also figure up from three
to four million marks.
Therefore, it is suggested, as the
voyage is expected to rebound to Ger
many's greater glory and advantage
that parliament ought to grant a
credit to cover the main expenses,
more especially so as otherwise the
Emperor will have to run into debt.
The conservatives have answered the
governments approaches favorably,
but the Centrists have replied with a
fiat negative.
The inadequate meat supply of Ger
many, owing to the barriers erected
against foreign cattle, hogs and meat
continues. From Austria only some
5000 head of cattle have been admitted
and Russia supplied $4,000 pigs. These
imports are quite insufficient to cope
with the requirements which the home
supply fails to meet. Prices have ris-
en- steadily for months past, and now
they are twenty per cent. above those
of 1897.
The slaughtering of horses for food
has greatly increased, especially in the
large cities, and dog flesh is openly ad-
vertised. In the Chemnitz Neuests
Nachrdichten Fat young dogs" forms
a standing advertisement.
A brewing company of Eisenach has
decided to buy the famous Luther
house there and convert it into a res
taurant. The government of SaXony,
consequently is being urged to pre-
vent one of Germanys most historical
remains from being put to such use.

Meet Behind Closed Doors and Discuss

Cleveland, Ohio, October 15.-An i'm
portant meeting of leading railway
managers was held here today behind
tightly closed doors at the Hollenden
hotel, to consider means for putting a
stop to rate cutting.
The features of the meeting, it is
said, is the fact that representatives of
roads west of Chicago are present at
the meeting, though their business is
outside of the territory covered by the
Central Traffic Association. 1t is said
that possibility the newly form
ed steel trust will try to break the
association and practically make its
own rates, will cause the association
to strain every nerve to strengthen
itself. Cheaper freights will also be
an additional weapon in the hands of
the trust.
