WHAT IT'S ABOUT.

However, III tell you what it is l
want to do The difference between
what | am writing and the ordinary
biography is as marked as between an
ordinary fat photograph and one of
what-d 'ye-c all-'em - einemato-
graph pictures. Biography is a patch
work of fiat photographs, each of them
giving the prejudiced view OF some par
ticular observer. Perhaps one of the
photographs would be the prejudiced
recollections of the hero's mother, an
other the preiudiced observations Of a
man who hated him, another the stories
told of him by Tom and Dick and Har-
ry-all OF them distorted by some sort
Of prejudice. Along comes the bio
grapher to patch all of these prejudiced
views together, and, 10, he, too, is pre-
JUDGED. The cinematograph picture,
on the other hand, shows the man COM
plete, all around and in action.
But you can't show all sides of a
man without prejudice while he is liv-
ing, or while his friends or children are
living. If he is a friend, you are in
clined to paint him up a little, white
wash him a little; if he is an enemy,
you are inclined to put a little black
paint on him. If you know a story
about him that reveals one whole side
of his character, but that would hurt
the feelings of his family, you will not
be able to compel yourself to use it;
but if it isn't going to be published for
100 years, it can be told without offense
to yourself.
Now, I'm writing on this book at
odd times-and l have been at it for
several months-just as if / were writ
ing about people I had known 100 years
ago, and as if they and their children
were buried. I'm writing as much as
possible, as if time had smoothed down
all my prejudices; as if I'd got far
enough away from my subject to see it
in the proper perspective. Yes, I'm
writing as if I were Rip Van Wrinkle,
and as if the things | remembered as
having happened yesterday had really
happened 100 years ago.

5TEUBENvILLE INDUSTRIAL.

Special to the Register
STEUBENVILLE, o., July 29.-The
sewer pipe manufacturers are much dis
heartened over the failure TO bring
about a combine. They tried it them
selves without success, and the promot-
ers have been the last to go down TO
defeat. The Dos Passos scheme, after
vainly holding on, handed in its checks.
Next a pormoter named Flint came
along with a proposition, but the big
manufacturers hit it with hammer,
and it was not given even a decent
burial. AS has always been the case,
the owners OF the small works desire {
combine. while the big fellows, who
know they can make pipe on smaller
margin than the others, are not par
ticular about a combine, except on
good. well-heeled terms. Rates are get
ting swiped again down to danger
point. and the manufacturers are plan
ming again for a combine in ana OF
themselvek and one informal meeting
has been held.

MILES. TESTIMoNY.


The German press is publishing ex-

testimony is good material TO use
against the United States in the ques-
ton OF American canned meats. The

mony an efficient weapon"
DR. Barth, the well known freissinge
leader in the diet has put himself at
the head of a commission to arrange to
celebrate, on Feb. "A, the birthday of
Carl SchurZ by a banquet, in recog-
milton of his labors TO promote good
feeling between Germany and the Unit
ed States"
Emperor William arranged a great
treat for many poor Berlin school chill
dren early in the week in the shape Of
gratuitouS performance OF Humer-
dincks "HandseI IND Gretel." The
house was packed with !, 400 merry chill
dren. The imperial couple were pres
ent, accompanied by the Princess Lou
Use and the three younger princes. His
majesty was in excellent spirits, and
was seen to be continually explaining
to the children all about the piece.
There were shouts of joy from the i'm
perial box when the wicked witch was
burned. The last act was preceded by
a pretty spontaneous act of homage TO
the imperial family. All present rose
and Justify sang the national anthem.
This was followed by enthusiastic
'Hochs." The imperial party had to
repeatedly bow their thanks.
1t was announced today that the i'm
pegial and Prussian governments had
sold the Deutsche bank 75,00O,00 marks
of per cent imperial loans and 125, 000,-
600 marks of Prussian consols, which
will shortly be placed on the market.
The Reischzanzieger this evening
published a decree authorizing a PEG
cent loan of 1861, 1871 marks under the
law of March 81, 1892, empowering the
government to borrow money for the
army, navy and railway purposes.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press has interviewed United States
Ambassador White regarding the state
ments that the United States wants
Germany to recall the German consul
at Samoa, Herr T. Rose. The ambas-
sador said:
The statements are incorrect. The
truth is that both sides are awaiting
fuller information. Each side decidedly
inclineS to believe that mistakes have
been made all round. But just how
far each is responsible there is no
means of telling until the dispatches
arrive here and at Washington. The
two governments have discussed the
matter in the most friendly manner,
and each has avowed its readiness to
do whatever is just and right, includ-
ing the disavowal of any action of one
or more Of its agents which may be
shown to have been contrary to the
treaty or the comfy of the nations con-
cerned."
