Frederick, Prince Frederick Charles-all
the princes of the house old enough to
bear arms. were in the thick OF the fight
ing; and the smaller states OF the confed-
Grafton were also represented by members
of their royal or grand ducal families.
And none of this representation was orna-
mental or perfunctory. These German
princes were actual soldiers sharing the
hardships Of the campaign, and exposing
themselves equally with other officers of
the same rank to the shells, bullets, and
sabres of the enemy.

AN APPEAL FOR A LIFE.
Efforts to Save Howard Benham
From the Electric Chair.


BATAVIA, n. Y, Dec. ia determined
effort is TO be made to save the life OF
Howard Benham, private banker. whose
death in the electric chair is fixed to take
place in Auburn prison during the week
beginning January 2. He was convicted of
poisoning his wife with prussic acid. Ar
appeal was taken, and two years after the
alleged offence the court of appeals af-
Armed the conviction. The time originally
set for the execution had then passed. and
Tor second time Benham was sentenced to
death.
Experts testified at the trial to the find
ing of prussic acid in Mrs Benham's body
Now, Benham asserts, through his attor-
ney. that he has kept the truth from the
public up 10 the last moment. and that
what he would not tell when his life was
only in danger he reveals now. that death
is certainty II ne keeps quiet. He says
that he and his wife both used prussic
acid under medical directions.
Mrs. Benham. the condemned mans
mother, enlisted the services of Arthur C.
Wade, a criminal lawyer, of jamestown.
who will move, on December &c, in Buffalo
before Judge Hooker. for new trial, on
the ground of newly discovered evidence
1t is expected that the testimony of a WELL
known physician, who is said to have pre-
scribed for both Benham and his wife
solution of prussic acid, will be the main
feature.
A molten was made before Judge Hooker
in Buffalo. for an order appointing a ref

nesses-Drs. Townsend, l.. l. Tozier, and
Showerman. and Mrs. Lulu Prentice. Judge
Hooker granted the motion and appointed

The Patho. of Whist.

A small book on whist, by Annie Blanche
Shelby which is 10 be found among the
holiday publications, will doubtless afford
much information TO persons interested in
the game. but there is an immense amount
Of amusement in its pages for those who do
not absolutely regard whist as religion.
OF course anyone who plays a game at
all wishes to play 1t well, and not to be
what an Englishman would call "duffer:"
and to this end it IS good that there should
be books written about games, and that
they should contain all the information
possible. But it does seem unnecessary to
plead with the reader, almost with tears
and a prayer book, not to commit certain
foliies, and not to take the outcome Of the
game so to heart as to be ready to fight
and pull hair over 1t. In this tiny book on
whist there is almost as much rhetoric az
in one OF DR.. Talmage's sermons, wasted
on truths as obvious as those discussed by
those popular preachers who, at great
length. inform their parishioners that they
should not throw their grandmothers down
the cellar stairs.
The author begins with disquisition on
the proper manners for a whist player,
and a part Of it is as follows:
In all phases Of life, in whatever We undertake,
the desire to meet with success is paramount to
every other consideration. This is not only
natural, but right; It is desire implanted by
a divine ordering and should be stimulated and
encouraged to the last degree If We finally,
however, attain the object OF our endeavors is it
courteous, right. considerate. or reasonable that
Haunt success in the face Of those less
fortunate?

women, or to primary-school children?

TRADES AGAINST THE PULPIT.

| OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 16.-Judge- NJ. r
Hopewell, of Tekaman, must appear before
Judge Scott and explain why he advised the
persons having charge of the Dodd children
not to produce them in court in obedience

Judge Hopewell has not been set.
The trial OF the Rev. T. ]. Mackay, rec
tor of All Saints Episcopal Church; H. C.
Herring, pastor Of Congregational Church
and w. p. Hartford, for contempt Of court
has attracted a great deal of attention for
a week.
The gentlemen are officers Of the Nebras-
ka Children's Home Association, which had
in recent years found comfortable homes for
Clara and Mabel Dodd. whose father was
INDECENT and could not or did not support
them.
Recently he conceived the idea that he
wanted his children and the heads Of the
families where the children reside appealed
to the officers of the association to foil the
doubtful designs Of a profiigate father, who
had instituted habeas corpus proceedings
The preachers Joined in letter to the
Judge, giving him the naked facts in the
case, and asking the court, in the interest
OF good morals, to let the children remain
where they are.
This letter offended the dignity Of Judge
Scott, who resented it, noisily. and cited
the ministers TO appear before him to show
cause why they should not be punished for
contempt.
In the course of the trial the Judge fire.

heard in Omaha from any pulpit within the
last fourteen years.

OYSTER SEASON uNPRoF1TABLE


Unusual Weather Has a Material
Bearing ON the Industry.
IRvINGTON. Va, Dec. 1s-The remark
able weather which has prevailed during
the months Of October, November, and De-
cember has had, material bearing upon the
oyster industry. -:
During October and part. Of November
the mild weather was propitious to the
taking of oysters; but its continuance this
month has completely undone the good
work.
The rocks have. been depleted by over
working, and the bottom-what little there
was-has completely. dropped out Of the
market. -.
Those who have caught the bivalve have
profited little and those who have bought
here and resold in market are out Of
pocket. -
A season of the greatest promise for
years has so far proved an utter failure
though the red, oyster has had no little
part in this result. This peculiar tint of
the oyster has been gradually diminishing
for the past three weeks, until now 1t has
nearly disappeared. .se.s.A

PERRY HEATH EXPLAINS.
Wrong Interpretation Placed on n
Recent Ruling.


Recent Ruling.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath recently made ruling affecting
married women in the postal service. To-
day he made a statement in which he
said that the ruling had been misconstrued
to mean that every such woman must i'm
mediately resign. No such meaning was
intended, he declared.
"The case upon which l made ruling"
he said were of two clerks in one post
Office who married. The woman insisted
upon remaining on the payroll. l held
that the presence of husband and wife
as clerks in the same Office was inimical
to the service. and that the woman should
vacate and permit her husband to support
her. thus allowing her position to go to
some one who had no means Of support.
l intend to apply this meaning to women
clerks in postoffices who in the future
marry, but women who are already mar
ried and who hold positions as postoffice
clerks and whose employment under their
married names has been approved by the
department. will not be disturbed.

And are these men and women supposed to
be accustomed to the usages of good So
ciety. or are they the kind Of people in
clined to rise up and crow loudly when
they make correct prophecy as to the
weather. and go into the sulks for an en-
tire day when they chance to get a slice OF
burnt toast at breakfast? 1t is generally
understood that whist is game In which
keen and clever minds take pleasure, but
the tribe Of whist players could not be
blamed for suppressing a lady who seems
to wish the world to understand that she
addresses a lot of petulant. spoiled chill
dren. Again. we find that in case of a
lowering Of score one should not scold ones
partner since the latter will already suffer
from "the tormenting pangs Of self-censure
and remorse''
Possibly diplomat whose blunder had
resulted in the sacrifice Of his country's in
terests, or train dispatcher who had
caused a horrible railroad wreck, might
feel in the way described, but it seems to
be eloquence rather wasted on a whist
player who has led the wrong card. This
page of advice winds up with Biblical
quotation about the mote in our brothers
eye. At the end OF the chapter we find
this magnificent burst OF rhetoric, ad-
dressed exclusively to feminine readers:
Let u.s. then. enter the vast and exhaustive field.

but aspirants ourselves striving heart and soul
for the highest honors which the whist world has
1t in its power TO bestow.
This Is too ridiculous to be funny. II
such a paradoxical statement is permissi-
BILE. When one thinks of a supposedly ra-
tional being with view of the universe
so topsy-turvy that she really strives
heart and SOUL for success in a game,
the picture is sorrowful one. Whist,
chess, golf, and all other games are val
liable as recreations. but when they are
taken up with life-anddeath earnestness
all their value goes the way OF dandelion-
down in fresh summer breeze. OF course.
it is possible to work as hard over any one
Of these games as over scheme which
changes the boundary of an empire; there
are people who spend their lives in gain
ing championships of this kind; but
why, in the name of common sense, with
all that is waiting in this world for the at
tention OF able minds and determined spir-
its, should one become hysterical over
a bit Of sport?
