Mr.. WILLIAM VAN WICK of
Pasaic, n. j., has had the oppor-
tunity of taking a dose of German
medicine brewed by his ancestors.
He is doing time in Germany for
having called the Emperor "big
stiff"
Mr.. Van Wyck ought to be a
judge, for his not very remote an
cestors were of that land of Wiener
wurst and beer.
Americans however may easily
understand how Mr.. Van Wyck,
under the influence of successive
cargoes Of beer, felt the oppressive
atmosphere of majesty gradually
roll away until he doubtless felt
himself every inch an American,
and sitting in a New York roof
garden. It is said that the "lese
majesty was committed in beer
garden. That's as good a place as
any other; and the slip was doubt
less owing to his liberal entertain
ment.
1t remains for him not to prove
the truth of his statement. Should
he succeed in that he could reason
ably expect a hot reception on his
return to New Jersey.

To one not acquainted with her
sister ships the Bennington and
Concord, it would not be an easy
matter to distinguish them apart

self arrested in Brooklyn for debt
and was put in Jail. He soon
gave bail to appear in answer to
this charge, and now walks the

Mr.. RUSSELL SAGE says: 81 do
not like to criticise Mr.. Carnegie:

take his slOO,OOO,OOO with him
when he goes.
