Foreign correspondents report that
the industrial associations and the syn

call meeting for the purpose OF franz

the continued systematic expulsion

Swedes and Norwegians. The petition
will ask that the policy OF expulsion be
speedily discontinued. Reports from
throughout Germany show the urgency
OF this move on the part OF the manu-
featuring and exporting interests. The
Danes. especially, are seycrlng their
commercial relations with German
merchants out OF resentment for the
eviction OF their fellow-countrymen

Political banks" organized to re-

he went beyond the laws requirements
TO guard the business men who had
trusted him; but perhaps he felt that.
since he had got into bad company
and stayed-he deserved TO lose his

KING OSCAR ABDIcATEs.

Ousll ths Rebelllous NOrwegiana.

Qusll tbs Rsbsiiious Norwsgians.
Stockholm, Jan. 23.-King Oscar,
who reached his SEVENTEEN year last
Saturday, has Professionally placed the
relns of government in the hands Of his
eldest son, the Grown Prince Gustaf.
While it is generally reported that alb.
dication of the king is only temporary,
those nearest ut court declare that he
will never again return to the throne.
The step was taken by orders Of the
court physicians.
King Oscars condition has been made
worse by the rebellious spirit which his
Norwegian subjects have exhibited Of
late.
Most bitter to the king was the ac-
tion of the Norwegian Storthing in
adopting Norwegian flag without the
union emblem.
Crown Prince Gustaf, who has as
sumed the government, is In many re-
spects the very antithesis Of his Illus
trious father. He is man with nn
iron will, and 1t is believed that what
on account of innate goodness King
Oscar could not accomplish, namely the
quelling of the sedtious spirit In Nor
way, Prince Gustaf will accomplish by
force, IL necessary.

ONE ARMY INNOVATION.

Secretary Root has already made an
innovation in our army system. 1t
consists of the adoption of the English
system of keeping at home one battal-
ion of every regiment sent abroad The
idea of this is to keep the regiments in
the field always up to their maximum
strength, which is done by supplying
vacancies from the home battalion
Thus when a man is disabled or sick
he is sent home and his place is at once
filled from the home battalion, which
is being constantly recruited to fill these
vacancies as they occur.
Secretary Root has ordered the
change in spite of the disapproval of
Gen. Miles, who believes that better re-
suits for the service can be attained by
keeping the full regiments together.
The English plan when in working
order will have the advantage of obvi-
ating the necessity of disturbing the
public mind by calling for further vol
unteers in large numbers at a time to
supply vacancies in the ranks of the
fighting regiments, since under the new
plan these vacancies will be gradually
filed as they occur.

A CURE FOR LOVE.

A French savant, DR.. Emile Lau-
rents, announces a discovery that hyp-
notism viii cure love.
For example, one who has fallen
victim to the divine passion" under
unfavorabe circumstances, or has been
ensnared before he knew it by the
witchery Of pair of eyes, or is unable
to stretch a meagre salary so as TO
cover his enamorato's taste for oyster
suppers and diamonds, has only to go
to specialist, who makes few passes
over the soft spots in his Uranium and,
TO use the expressive language of the
street, it is AL off" The image of the
fair one is banished from his mind and
heart and is succeeded by feeling of
independence and perfect freedom and
profound contempt for all uncured love-
sick idiots.
The uses to which DR.. Laurents's
remedy could be put are numerous. 1t
would be invaluable to the millionaire

love with their coachman, or sons sus-
ceptible to chorus girls, etc., etc., ad

mot GUILTY"

The Weston Asylum Board sitting
as a court of investigation of the scan
dalous charges against the superinten-
dent, Dr. Stathers, has promptly re-
turned its verdict, which is Not
Guilty"
While great many people would
not have rendered this verdict in the
light of the evidence as published in
the press, still the Board was the off,
cial judge and jury in this case, has
heard all of this evidence and it must
be presumed has carefully digested it,
and, of course, its verdict must be ac-
eepted by the general public. At any
rate it is final and closes the case.
DR.. Stathers and his friends are to be
congratulated upon the outcome.
