A Story of Roosevelt.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
 Vice-President Roosevelt is telling anecdotes about his political cam paigning in the west last year. At one fairly large town in South Dakota he was introduced to an immense au- dience by a local orator of the most fiamboyant type-a man with the voice of a foghorn and a vocabulary full of the most vivid adjectives, all of them in the superlative degree. After MT. Roosevelt had spoken this person rose to introduce the next speaker. Fellow citizens," he chanted, with his chest advanced and a wide sweep of his arm. 'it is now my privilege and honor to present to you one who, next to the illustrious statesman who has just addressed you. is the most pro- found thinker and most stirring orator in this broad land of ours; one whose fame extends from the shores of the Atlantic to the surf-beaten rocks of this great Pacific; one whose name is a household word in every American home and by every American hearth side!" Then bending owed the gentle man in question he sai dto him in a hoarse and hurried whisper. which MT. Roosevelt could overhear. Say, what the devil is your name, anyhow"

There are over 1000 pieces in the win dow, including the finest textile fab rics. various bright colored rugs, mat ting and fans of the Orient, Chinese fancy work and Japanese carved work. The crude cooking utensils and war instruments of the native Filipinos are very interesting.
 In addition there are numbers of cu- rios which the officer gathered during his stay in the far East. The window is attractively arranged and each piece Is marked. The relics will be on exlii- bition for some days and will no doubt continue to draw as large crowds as have gathered in front of the window all day yesterday and until late last night,

It Has Been Looming up, But is staiI
 At Some Distance.
 New York Post. .
 Another mater which in open poiIt- ical discussions Is seldom touched up- on. and which yet is becoming from day to day a greater problem, and one with which the German political mlnn, in secret, Is busily engaged, Is the oriIt of events in Austria, and the propa- bility that befor many years more the German nation will be placed III ths dilemma of either having to suHer tn" breaking up Of Austria and the coH- plete political and ethnOlogical deatn or the ten millions of Austrians or ter man blood. or to interfere actiVely III the process, and obtain for tne Hen and women of their own nesn anu blood either annexation to the present German empire or some other means by which they could avoid being sWai- lowed up in the great slavic noou. This crisis. which has been looming up larger and larger, but still at some ols- tance--by some deferred to the deatn of Francis Joseph, by others stiii TUT ther-was the sole property, until re- gently. of the Pan-German party.
 It has now begun to be openly ais cussed in German leading papers potn pro and con, and the aStdtioh see afoot by the Pan-Germans has now fairly spread over the whole or ter many. The "antis"if Germany point out with considerable truth, that the annexation of ten millions of German speaking Austrian Catholics would rentAr the religious complexion Of the Germany that would emerge out or the whole trouble much more douotfui, ana this Catholic Protestant question mas always been very important and dis turbing factor. ever since Luther time. Others point to the probability that before Germany would be allowed to seize and hold Austria's German provinces, and extend her sway py land and sea from the North sea 10 the Adriatic. she would have to fight with and conquer half of Europe, es- pecially Russia and France, with her main ally. Austria, eliminated. or Tn arms against her. But all this does not daunt the day-dreamers, who al ready see Germany riding triumphant to victory in the heart of Europe.
 Tn all this, the German Government, so far as its overt inufence IS con- cerned, takes no sides, but tries co play the ostrich and see nothing. But before long this attitude will become untenable and one or the other side of the road will have to be chosen. Both are beset with difficulties.

STARTING A NEWSPAPER.
How an Old Book Caused "The Fall
 Mall Gazette'' to Be Started.

~Ne~~
 Frederick Greenwood in London Times.
 The origin of the Pail Mall Gazette was the purchase of an old book in HoIborn Pars. The book was a com- plete copy of Canning's "Anti-Jacobin' in it's original newspaper form. The purchaser of the book was myself; and as I turned over it's faded leaves, thought of The Saturday Review in- ttuded (that journal was then at the tcpmost height of its reputation), and the.eeup came this idea: Make as good a combination of the two as the current supply of mind allows. throw in q scrap or two of novel features,
 mix with an eye to the needs and de- mands of the hour, publish every day, and you will have a new thing that ought to be a power and glory. stat ed in outline, that was the hopeful idea. which would have been yet more hopeful but for a suspected lack Of Cannings Pitts and Freres in the available talent of the time. Yet all that was quaintly graceful in the old fashioned form of The Anti-Jacobin could be repeated or even improved up on: and this, think. was done. IT you have ever seen the original issue of that famous publication, you may recognize how closely the old Pail Mall Gazette resembed it typographl- cally; exactly the same breadth or double column; the same choice Of types for the text and the lettering Of the title; the same use of italic capital headlines; and other likeness. But whereas The Anti-Jacobin had a large squat quarto page, the new little pa per was heightened 'nto elegance and became an octave, like The Saturday Review. i,
 After due elaboration. the design was communicated to Mir. John Park er the acting member of a publishing firm in West Strand, which then own ed Fraser's Magazine. The scheme was approved. There were consulta- tions about it with four or five men of the pen and men of the world, ell ents and friends of MT. Parker (among them Arthur Helps. Charlts Kingsley, Froude-who were to write-and more remarSably, certain great statesman, I rempmber) and the thing was set tied. But not lastingly. Parker's fa- ther was an infirm. old man. with only little while to live. it was thought and the risks fthe new un- dertakink fretted him. So Let us put 1t off, said the son. Of course l agreed, and soon afterward it was the son that died and not the father.
 I was then unacquainted with MT. George Smith, and had known him for some time when. the half-forgotten scheme recurring to my mind as we gosiped one evening after dinner. poured iJ forth. And now no more need be said for the present purpose except tbat after little while other evenings were spent in talking over the plan. and then it was carried out. MT Smith chose the title. which 1 did not like. As for the editorship, strongly urged that it should be of fered to Mr. Richard Hutton, of the Spectator. But that MT. Smith did not like: he thought that the designer of the paper should be its editor, and so very unwillingly q went to consult Carlyle about 1t one day, hoping that he might know of some unplaced, high ly capable person) I accepted the post

Five Mince Pies Cost $5, 5,ooo

Philadelphia North American.
 Johnny Foehl ate five mince pies at one sitting. and this little feast cost him exactly 5000 His suit against the Camden & Suburban Railway Com pany for that amount for injuries sus- tained in being pushed from car was progressing fdvorably to him yester- day in the Camden court. Half a dozen doctors had sworn that he was an invalid as a result of the accident, when Willie Brewer, one of Johnpys witnesses. in his rambling testimony, told of Johnny's love for pies.
 Counsel for the trolley company saw a glimmer of hope in this.
 Could he eat whole pie?" was ask ed of Willie.
 Why. yes, he ate five within few minutes last week." the boy replied.
 The three lawyers who represented Johnny was on their feet in an instant. demanding of the court to know what mince pie had to do with Johnny Foehl being injured bv a trolley car. They wanted this portion of the testimony stricken out.

What It Costs to Run the Big
 Steamer Deutschland.
 Ainslee's Magazine.
 Tt was printed frequently just after the swift Cunarders came out that they were not paying ships. This was believed by representatives of the German lines, but 1t is not so. The sea express, even so mighty coal consumer as the Deutschland, does pay and pays we'll in the season when traffic is heaviest on the Atlantic. It is estimated that 1t costs the Hamburg line about $45,00e to run the Deutsch- land across seas. The largest item of expense is that of coal. She sends through her four monumental tunnels every trip vapor representing $5,OO0. Then there is the bill for lubricating oil. and the cost of the ships immense laundry. In the seasons when the cab ins and the Steerage are crowded the ships washing usually consists of nearly 24,000 pieces, including table lin- en. blankets. sheets and the coats of the stewards. The laundry bills for a single trip vary according to the mum. Der of passengers carried, from $500 to $500 There are only two ships in ser vice that do their washing aboard-the cruising yacht Prinzessin Victoria Louise and the excursion steamship Auguste Victoria, both of which have electric laundries.
 Next to the cost of coal is the ex- penditure for wages. The board of the Deutschland's crew of 557 persons, the cost of providing her TOO or more cabin passengers with meals, the wages of the commaI der, her officers and the chief engineer help to swell the list of

Aside from their regular wages. which range from sl.50o to S4.oo0 a year. they have a share in the earn ings of their ships. On the British lines the captains receive from $l, 300 to $6,0o0 a year. without perquisites. If. at the end of the year. a British commander ship has met with no accident, he gets a bonus. The British lines think this system of reward has a tendency to make commanders more careful. The pay of an engineer on the German lines ranges from $l,200 to about s2.5oO a year. The pay of the British engi- neer does not differ materially from these figures, but he also receives a bonus if his engines run without accl- dent during the year"

 Counsel for the plaintiff wanted to bring witnesses to prove the pies were small scent ones. They were willing to send for a pie to show the 1uHy. The railway company's lawyers con- ceded that the pies were small. but contended that even so no invalid could eat five of them.
