Count Bernhard Won Buelow, who

becoming the chancellor of Germany
in the place of Hohenlohe- -Schilling-

of the great statesmen and diplomats

at pinnacle of eminence reached by
others only after laborious and haz-

Berlin. Nov. 2.-Considerable impa-

The Inference is that German censor

said he witnessed the following
scene: ''SiXty-eight captives, some of
them not yet adults were tied to-
gether by their pigtails, beaten bloody
by the Germans, compelled to dig
their own graves and then slot en-
masse."

When five minutes had passed the
jests became more pointed and the
shafts of witticism sank deeper, but
still Michael laughed. When ten min
utes had passed, and then Is minutes,
and then half an hour, Michael was
decidedly uneasy.
Then a messenger handed note to
Michael. He suddenly left, without
giving an excuse, and went directly to
the home of Papa and Mamma Plislsa.
They were in a state of great excite
ment.
They could not find Mary! She
had robed herself in her wedding
gown with her mothers assistance,
and then. when her mother left te
put on her hat, Mary mysteriously
disappeared.
Michael thought deeply. At last he
asked the parents if they had gone
to the home of chum of Mary. They
had not. But they were sure she had
not gone there. Nevertheless, Michael
got into a carriage and drove rapidly
to the home of Mary's chum
And there he found Mary-all
dressed in her bridal robes, with
bunch of real orange blossoms in her
hair, crying her pretty eyes out.
Michael asked her why she had not
come to the house. She cried in an
swer. He asked her again; and then,
amid her sobs, she told him she had
feared to face the crowd that would
witness the ceremony.
Michael left without a word. He
drove back to his cottage, told the
guests what had happened and that
the wedding was off. Some of them
suggested that he take the priest to
the home of Mary's chum and be mar
ried there. But Michael told them he
did not care to marry a girl who had
insulted him before his friends.
And the marriage ceremony has
never been performed.

BATTLING FOR LIFE.
Widow of Stonewall Jackson, Fa-
nous Southern Hero.
Has Recently Undergone an Opera
tion from whose Results She May
Not RecOver-Hsr Home Life
at Charlotte, N. q.

Some weeks ago the widow of Gen.
Stonewall jackson had a critical oper-
alton performed in Baltimore hos
pital, and her friends are afraid that
she will not recover from its effects.
Although now over 20 years old her
face, according to Charlotte On Co.
correspondent of the Chicago Chron-
icle, retains much of the beauty which
enthralled the then awkward, diffident
young military cadet from Lexington
when he first met her as Anna Nor
Her black luxuriant hair has few
traces of gray and her blacH eyes are
piercing and lustrous still.
Since the death of Mrs. Jackson's
only child, Mrs. Christian, several
years ago, she has devoted her life to
her grandchildren, who reside with
her. Her home is a plain two-story
building on Trade street, Charlotte,
n. c. To the unpretentious dwelling,
however, picturesque charm is given
by ivy and madeira vines climbing at
will about the veranda, violet bordered
walks leading to the hospitable door
way and stately magnolias casting
their luxuriant foliage over the whole.
Within is the refined atmosphere of
typical southern home. In the draw
ing-room the most conspicuous object
is large oil painting of Gen. Jack
son. Portraits of other heroes whose
memories are still sacred in the hearts
of old confederates are also hung
everywhere upon the walls, inter
spersed with tattered flags and other
trophies of the lost cause.
Here the widow of one of the great
military geniuses of the world has
passed her peaceful days, busted with
her household duties or superintend
ing the education of her grandchil-
dren.
In her "Life Of Jackson" she said:
"The home of my girlhood was a
large, old-fashioned house, surround
ed by an extensive grove of pine for
est trees, on plantation in Lincoln
county, N. C. My father was Rev.

BUYING HAS INCREASED.
Full Forces at Work in Eastern
Shoe Factories.
WOOL MARKET IMPROVES,
A Tendency Toward Better Prices for
This Staple Is RepOrted-The Cotton
Market Partially Recovers from the
Recent Decline.

New York, Nov. 3.-R. G. Dun &c
The period of suspense is nearly over.
Business has been longing for free
tield in which to leap forward, but
restricted buying largely to wants
for immediate consumption. Some
evidence appears of willingness to-
take speculative chances in the move
,nent of few standard goods, nota-
bly, of iron and steel. The resump-
tion OF operations in the anthracite
coal fields has added largely to the
working force, and the closing down
of few small steel plants is only in
the nature of concentrating opera
tions at more advantageous points
and has not much reduced the num-
Der of men employed.
Encouraging signs multiply in the
iron industry. Strength in Bessemer
and grey forge at Pittsburg shows
that the recent increase in activity of
finished forms has at last affected the
market for raw material. Improve
ment in domestic buying of pig is the
more noticeable because of decrease
in exports. Structural Shapes con-

vancing with active demand from
shipbuilders and with talk of pool
to sustain the price. Bar iron would
sell readily at former prices, but hold
ers grow stubborn.
Full forces are employed at New
England shoe shops. and heavy orders
insure brisk work for the rest of the
year. Textile operations are more
vigorous sales of wool at the three
chief eastern markets exceeding all
recent records. With the greater ac-.
tivity there appears a tendency to-
ward firmer prices.
Cotton has recovered little of tho
recent sharp decline, attributed to re-
ports that frost would surely do seri-
Gus damage. The market does not
show much fear of disaster and there
is more reason TO believe that the
slight advance was induced by better
purchases of spinners, who were at
tracted after the fall of $3.50 bale in
less than three weeks. There was
also some recovery in wheat.

reiving quotations. Judge Nail post

HOPE LONG DEFERRED.
When Riches Came at Last George
Wedekind Had Lost His Capac-
ity for Enjoyment.

Luck, as it is interpreted in the
mining camp, has been emphasized in
the case of George Wedekind, of Reno,
New.
Years and years ago, when George
Wedekind was young, he went west
in fever for gold. All up and down
the famed coast country of the Cali
fornias he wande: ed, bootless. The
gold was not for him. AS the country
settled he drifted from town to town,
tuning pianos. 1t was his trade. He
brought his wife to Reno, finally, and
the two settled Gown to the scant ex-
istence that Liano tuning in western
town afforded.
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1900-11-08

Wedekind was 72 years old when
one day he went hunting. Even the
game had suffered from the civiliza-
tion that had come to the state and
then gone to such measures as to
leave it population less than it had
when admitted to the union. He was
discouraged with hunting and was re-
turning moodily homeward. Climbing
down the Size of bluff his foot
slipped
And uncovered gold mine!
He saw the unmistakable "color" in
the yellow earth and he staked right
and left. Reno awoke to a new gold
fever and the stakes were planted
everywhere that they had not been
driven before. One hundred thousand
dollars was bid for his first claim and
the old man and his wife are said to
be worth $1,0OO,OOO.
But long years of hardship have dis
counted this great sum. Privation
and makeshift means to live have so
affected the old people that they have
little capacity for enjoyment of their
great wealth. They live in the same
little house in the same frugal way
that they had lived for 80 years or
more. They have better food and
better clothes, but the old mans chief
pleasure is to potter" around the
mine, while the wife sits with folded
hands looking across the alkali
plains, day-dreaming.
