Nothing is more incomprehensible
to European walters than the Ameri-
can custom of eating boiled eggs from
glass. Senator Chauncey Depew
likes to follow the American custom,
and one day waiter at the Hotel de
Russo, in Paris, told him that he
must not do it. There was dispute
and the head waiter was called. "The
glasses cannot be properly washed"
he exclaimed. '"They are ruined"
Nonsense" said Mr.. Depew. my
servants at home do it every day In
the year" Then Mr.. Depew broke
his egg into the glass as usual and the
waiter watched him. When the glass
was set aside he came with a dustpan,
cracked the glass on his boot heel
and disappeared with the fragments.
The charge for the glass was put ON
Mr.. Depew's bill, and he refused to
pay it. He was too good customer
to offend, so the hotel people smiled.
They knew that Mrs. Depew was go
ing to remain week longer and they
put the glass in her bill, and she paid
it. When Mr.. Depew found that ont
he also smiled, but in different way

TROUBLE NARROWLY AvERTED
Trial of Caleb Powers mt
Frankfort.


Frankfort, KY, March 21.--The most
thrilling event of the examining trial
or republican Secretary OF state Caleb
Powers occurred Monday afternoon.
shortly after three o'clock, and for a
few minutes is looked as If serious
trouble could not be averted. Judge
George Denny, for the defendant, in
an argument upon the competency OF
a question, said:
ut is perfectly lawful for people 10
come here, and to come armed. ] came
here several times myself"
He was referring to the crowd that
was present at the mass-meeting neld
in the state house yard just prior to
Gov. GoebePs assassination.
Col. Campbell, for the prosecution,
replied that he did not consider it law
full, and was surprised to know that
Mr.. Denny had come armed. Denny
denied having made such statement,
and said he did not come armed. Camp
bell insisted that he had made the
statement. Both men were very much
excited, and spoke with vehemence
and with arms shaking, commenced 10
advance toward each other
The courtroom was crowded, and
the audience evidently thought fight
was on and made a rush for the doors
and windows, people falling over each
other in their wild efforts to get out
of the room. Several policemen ard
deputy sheriffs were crying for order,
and Judge Moore was bringing his
gavel down with terrific force and urg'
ing the people to take their seats. Al
ter five or ten minutes of the most ex-
quiet was restored.
just as soon as the room began to
grow orderly, ex-Gov. Brown, one OF
| the attorneys for the defense, whis-
pered to Col. Campbell, who promptly
arose and apologized to Denny and TO
the court, Judge Denny replying in a
very happy speech. On an inspection
of the record it was found that Col.
Campbell had misconstrued Judge
Denny's statement.
| At the conclusion of the examine
ton of Golden, the commonwealth
rested its case. 1t was stated, Sunday
night, that Mrs. Golden would also be
| introduced as a witness, but she was
not put on the stand. 1t is stated
that she is an unwilling witness.
The attorneys for the defense asked
for an adjournment of court at four
o'clock for the purpose of confer
ence with the defendant as to the wit
nesses that will be placed on the stand
in his behalf Tuesday. The court ad-
journed for this purpose.

OUT OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS.
The Unjust Warfare ON American
Meats in Germany is Con-
demned.

Berlin, March 27.-The meat inspec-
ton bill agitation has been renewed.
The German National Society of DEAF
ers in American Meats publishes Il
statement vigorously refuting thu
agrarian argument. 1t says:
''The first attacks were directed
against canned meats, which, owing 10
the high temperature of boiling were
proved harmless. The next attacks
were upon American pork and san-
sages, which, it was claimed, were
trichinous, but prize of 1000 marks
offered for proof of single American
case of trichinous pork is still I'M
claimed. 1t has been officially demon
strated that since 1882 not single
case of American trichinous pork h :
appeared in Germany"
Herr Bielhaben, the anti-semite, and
other agrarian leaders, are arranging
series of mass-meetings in support
of the bill in it's present extreme fornl.

1t develops that the appropriation OF

payment of special judges and chan
cellors is not sufficient to meet these
claims and several gentlemen who have

in south Africa is Ended.
London, March dispenser Wilkin-
son, in the Morning Post to-day warns
the public against binding themselves
to the magnitude of the task which
has vet to be performed in South Afri-
ca. He then refers to the fact that an
immense distance has to be traversed,
and points out that only the smaller
portion of the Free State has yet been
touched by the British advance.
"It is quite possible" he says, that
the Beers may be able to prolong the
campaign for several months, and the
British advance, though it must have
a crushing effect, can be carried on
only by the persistent eXertions OF
those in the field and those at home.
"Another task which does not az
pear to grow easier on nearer ac~

WAITING FOR SUPPLIES.

Advance on Pretoria Not Probable for
Several Weeks at Least.
LONDON, March 19.-The news from
South Africa is entirely satisfactory to
the British public. The relief Of Mafek-
ing is not yet announced but it is ex-
tremely probable that it has already
been accomplished by Colonel Plumer.
The actual relief movement has not
been publicly developed in detail, but 1t
seems that Lord Methuen only started
very recently and is rather engaged in
dispensing the Beers Of the district than
aiming at actual relief.
Colonel Peckman has dispersed 500
Beers at Fourteen Streams.
Lord Roberts probably ascertained
from Mr.. Frazer, the new mayor Of
Bloemfontein, before dispatching Gen.
eral Pole-Carew southwark that in all
likelihood the railway was clear. The
next movement will be to collect at
Bloemfentein by railway sufficient
stores for the immense army Lord Rob-
erts will have when the Orange river
forces have joined him. This will prob
ably occupy from two to three weeks.
Therefore the next important operation
may be expected in Natal.
The cavalry brigade which Lord Rob-
erts has sent to Thaba Nchu, IS miles
east of Bloemfontein, is destined to cut
off 1900 Beers who are escaping from
the southwark.
The Beers are reported to have de-
stroyed the railway in the neighbor-
hood Of KroOnstadt.
