BIsMARcK's LOVE.
A Tyrolese Girl Whom He Offered to
Marry.

A story is just going the round of the
journals concerning Bismarck when [
give for what it is worth. We are told
that Bismarck while still a raw uni
versity student, was staying in the
mountain regions of the Tyrol, near
Ultenthal, and fell deeply in love with
a beautiful young peasant girl. He Of
fered to make her his wife, and in or
der that his marriage should not take
her from her beloved mountains, he
promised to give up his own country
and stay in the Tyrol. The parents of
the girl, simple peasant folk, object
ed, however, to their child, who had
been brought UP a devout Catholic, be-
ing married to a Prussian Junker who
was Protestant to boot. So the ro-
nance which threatened to lose a Bis
marck for Prussia came to a sudden
end, and the hero of it returned to his
alma mater at Berlin In a hall at
Ultenthel there is still to be seen a
picture of Bismarck in the uniform of
his younger days. The heroine Of the
romance died many years ago as the
well-to-do widow of an Austrian landed
proprietor. Vienna correspondent of

A SCALP RESTORED.

A horrible accident which occurred
last August has been followed by a.
marvellous cure. young laundress
employed in laundry In the Rue Van
damme was caught by the hair by an
endless belt for the transmission of mo-
tive power, and was literally scalped
from the back of the neck to the fore
head She was taken to neighboring
chemists shop, and afterward to the
Broussais hospital. Dr. Malherbe took
off the bandages and asked for the I'M
fortunate woman's scalp. 1t had re-
manned entangled in the belt and wheels
and the messenger had some difficulty
in inducing the owner Of the laundry
to let 1t be touched. The laundryman
believed nobody was entitled to take it
down except the commissary of police
Finally, however, he gave 1t up. At
the hospital the hair was shaved off.
and the scalp was washed ON both sides
with soap and antiseptics, and applied
to the patients head The operation
has turned out completely successful,
and marks a new and important step
in surgery, since hitherto scalp wounds
were only cured by grating and by
treatment which sometimes lasted for
years.

1T DIDN'T WORK.
Democrats Try in VAN to Land Man in
City Hall Berth,

Democratic members of both branches
of, the city council took dinner in Zae-
ders restaurant yesterday noon, after
the adjournment of the city council,
the object in dining together being to
nix up trade with any republican
candidates who would give six votes
for II. They couldn't make trade
In spite of all that had been ru-
mored about a deal with Williamson,
the latter and his friends would not
enter into any deal with the minority.
They would not agree to swap votes
for assistant street commissioner or
for assessor. Williamsons friends were
asked what they would do, but the
promises they held out were so inslgni-
ficant that the democrats would not
consider them
An attempt was also made to put up
a trade with the White men. The lat
ter would do nothing either. The demo-
Gratis then agreed to stand by White
as they considered he was most deserv-
ing of their support
They had no chance to make trade
with the republicans who supported
Stone, but it was reported to them that
Prior said he didn't want any demo-
cratic votes. That made them warm
and Prior didn't get any on the first
ballot in either board. The democrats
wanted Gallagner badly, but did not
consider themselves bound to Stone,
as they had no promises from him.
They tried hard to fix up deal
whereby they will get the fourth mem
Der of the board of assessors, but the
republicans would not promise de-
finitely enough, and the democrats only
succeeded in staving ciS the election of
any republican candidate. They ar
gued for delay, as they could lose
nothing by it and might gain. AL
though they won on that point, they
were no nearer their goal at the end
than at the beginning.
They have secured nothing and are
willing to fix up almost any deal which
will net them something substantial.
They think they hold the key to the
situation in the street commissioner
ship and assessorship fights and are
prepared to hang on until they get
something good in sight

Basket Ball as Played in

new game is being evolved in the rink
these days.
1t is called basket ball and is played
with the sort of a ball that is used in
that game.
But ia reality it is not basket ball at
all. 1t is mixture of several games. Bas-
ket ball is one ingredient, foot ball is an
other, Japanese juggling is third; pro-
mischous showing and pushing also find
places in this new pastime.
The game affords good sport, and not

rink last eve ing regretted the manner
in which he had spent his time The crowd
laughed and roared at the efforts of the
youthful players, who seemingly unaware
at the sport the crowd was having,
plunged into the contest as if their very
lives depended upon the outcome.
There was but one regret. 1t was that
the building was so cold. The steam pipes
were frozen solid, SO heating the rink
was out OF the question, but in the eX-
citement of the game and of all the funny
plays witnessed the crowd forgot that the
building, was unheated. The only times
when they remembered the fact We're
during the short waits between halves.
AS one week ago, two games were
played--one between the Lyceum and St.
Stephens teams the other with the
Guilds and Father Mathew teams as con-
teStants. The first named team at times.

other times it was not so good. 1t re-
