CENTRIsTs CALLED DOWN.
Won Buelow Shows Them How Far
They Can Go.

Berlin Dec. 5.-In the reichstag today
the imperial chancellor, Count Won Bue-
in regard to the free exercise Of religion
was not acceptable TO the federal govern
ments who, while respecting the convic-
lions wherein it was based saw in the
proposal an intention TO restrict the con-
stftntionaI independence of the states in
matters reserved for their individual leg
islation. Count Won BueloW said that
speaking from a personal standpoint, he
hoped the disparities possibly existing in
the laws of the different state would be
reTnedied- but as chancellor. his first duty
was not to allow the federal character of
the empire and the autonomy of the mem
bers of the federation to be prejudiced
without the consent of the individual
states.

Unique wedding Present.

Most people know OF the peculiar cir
cumstances under which Robert Louis
Stevenson won his wife. But even
more romantic and astounding was the
unique wedding gift he got with her.
When Stevenson met his future fate
at Barblzon. a famous artists resort
near Paris. she was the wife OF Mr..
Osborne. an Oakland gentleman. The
friendship thus formed led Stevenson
TO pay visit 10 California. He arrived
at Monterey in dying condition, but
the loving care OF Mrs. Osborne and
her sister, Nellie Van der Grift. gradu-
ally won him back TO life. The nurs-
ing completed his infatuation for the
lady-an lnfatuation which he did not
pretend to conceal Fortunately Os-
borne raised no objections. He not
only agreed to the divorce. but with a
magnanimity rarely excelled actually
attended the wedding breakfast There
he found his opportunity.
Mrs. Stevenson's one source OF regret
was the positive loss Of her son. Lloyd
Osborne. whstn. OF course, the father
had the right TO claim. Osborne made
a happy speech. fellcitating the newly
married couple. and wound up by Offer
ing the most original OF wedding pres
ents. "To the bride" he said, 81 give
that which OF all things Is nearest and
dearest TO her heart. her own SON.
