A recent illustration of the worki3 gs
of lese majestic has afforded food for
sarcastic diversion among the bach
elors of the German empire, but the
married men, it is said, whenever the
subject is mentioned, become judic-
iously reticent. At Spandau, near Ber-
lin, husband and father, while seated
at dinner one day, made various o.
servetions derogatory to the kaiser.
The cause Of the outburst is not dis
closed. The wife was, apparently, Of
the sternly Roman kind, and with her,
loyalty to husband was subservient to
loyalty to ruler. She Immediately
fastened to an adjacent police-station,
denounced him, and had him arrested
and imprisoned. The moral embodied
in this domestic outbreak presents pos
sibilities that must be somewhat dis
turbing to the married men of Ger
many.

A merchant of New York, whose
place of business was recently burned
out, has signified his appreciation of
the good work done on that occasion
by the firemen and the police by con-
tributing to their pension and relief
funds. In doing this he was actuated
by an honorable impulse, but 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful If the effect of such
gifts is salutary. Private rewards for
public servants who have done moth
ing more than their duty may conceiv-
ably have a tendency to betray them
into doing less than their duty under
circumstances which do not suggest
the expectation of reward.

Cotton MIL wages RESTORED.

Boston, April 4.-Cotton mills gen.
orally in the New England states, oper-
ating more than three-quarters of the
total number of spindles in the north,
began work today under an advanced
wage schedule, which in nearly all OF
the mills is about the same as that
which existed prior to the general re-
duction made in the early part of 1898,
and which. it is estimated, directly af-
fects from 10000 to 100000 hands, en-
ployed by more than 120 corporations
The reduction made in 1898 averaged
a little more than 10 per cent. In Fall
River mills. which include 1892, 22O
spindles of the 10.S53,143 in New Eng
land, it amounted 20 IL is per cent.

The charge that college professors
are impractical is sometimes very
practically disproved. A Western
professor tried the effect OF electric
fly in an endeavor to thaw out a
frozen water-pipe. To his delight, in
exactly twenty minutes a full head Of
water was flowing in The house. The
pipe was heated to about sixty de-
grees Fahrenheit. The success of the
professors experiment induced a gen.
eral use of his method in the city
where he lived. A press dispatch de-
clares that speedy relief was afforded
without the tearing up of a foot Of
pavement, and his fellow-citizens no
doubt have concluded that the pro-
fessor is something more and better
than a mere theorist.

For Spring Wear.

"The flowers which bloom in the
spring" are already largely in evidence,
and SO sudden is the transition from
plumes innumerable that the more au
dacious of spring chapeaux appear pos
itively startling. The new bows, too,
are stiff and aggressive, and the Sim
ple Empire knot has evolved into an
octopus arrangement Of many loops,
these generally of varying height, and
in two shades. Ribbon loops and bows
are SO deity manipulated that they
appear of most elaborate weaving, but
stripes of bebe velvet, chenille and Sc
ouin spots or a lattice work of chenille
and beads are all put on by hand and
certainly enhance the value of the rib
hon and increase the effect of the cha
peau. Choux of ribbon, of velvet cut
on the bias. and of rich satin are much
in favor for the relief color under the
brim. Turquoise and nasturtium tints
are very popular on dark hats, and
black feathers still prevail. A new
short coat, with sack back and Ches-
terfield front, is admirably adapted for
spring wear, and has already been cop
led for the Riviera and Cairo and our
own Florida. White cloth has also
been extensively used for Riviera toll
cites OF the coat and skirt type. and.
needless to say, with the Indispensable
stitched lines. The Elton shape has
taken a new lease of life, and 1t is no
longer the sober, sedate Elton. but a
glorified substitute. fancifully shaped
and adorned.

Commissioner-Gener Peck Is much
delighted with the liberality displayed
by congress in the matter of an APP
preparation for the United States ex-
hibit at the Paris exposition. He has
been congratulated by the president as
being the only man who ever got a
bigger appropriation than was recon-
mended. The president asked for ST.
100000 in his message. The exact
amount appropriated is 100000 Of
which 100000 is for buildings, $780,
coo is especially assigned to the agri-
cultural department and 100000 for
the payment of Jurors, which leaves
100000 for general expenses. The
central building will be about 100 :.
square and 100 feet high and cost $780,
QUO. 1t is not intended for exhibits,
but as a headquarters for the commits
sioner and exhibitors, and for the COM
fort of American visitors, like the
German, French and British buildings
at the Worlds Fair. 1t will stand on
the bank of the Seine. with a landing,
and all the river steamers will stop
there. There will be an imposing dome
with an American eagle standing upon
the universe. In the center OF the
rotunda will be an equestrian statue of
Washington. About $4,000 will be
spent for an agricultural annex, con-
nected by colonnades with the Ameri-
can section of the main exhibit build
ing, so that visitors can pass from one
to the other without going out doors.
There will also be an annex to the
manufacturers building. especially for
the exhibition OF newspaper and print
ing presses.

FilIpInos Avoid n Fight.

New York, April A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says:
Repeated efforts to locate the in
surgent army in front of Malolos have
been unsuccessful and our forces are,
therefore, still resting in the former
Filipino capital.
"The attack on the forces under Gen.
Hall, at Mariquina, suggests that the
enemy is concentrating in that direc-
ton.
Col Denby's arrival makes the
early issue of the proclamation of the
Philippine commission probable"
