and Germany there are a few men ol
considerable intelligence-men like
Rap ael Zadkiel and Papus-who have
spent many years IN studying astrOlogy,
and. as several Of their predictions have
undoubtedly come true, their uttersnces
on any important event. such as that OF
Queen Wilhelmina's marriage, are
worthy OF notice.
Heinrich Daaih, a noted German
sstrologer. was the first TO point ou.
that Queen WilhelmIna was born on All
exceedingly unlucky day, SO far as mat
rimOniaI happiness is concerned. After
drawing attention 10 the fact that her
majesty was born oD August 81 1882
and that on that day the suu was ffitcted
by the planets Herschel and Saturn
while Venus was afflicted by Mars and
the moon was afflicted by Jupiter
Herschel, Sun and Saturn. he points out
that, according to all the old time hon
ored astrological rules, great misfortune
is bound to result from such a confgu.
ration Of the planets.
The affiic.ion OF the sun by Saturn,
ne claims, indicates that her husband
would be "unsympathetic, cold. exact
ing, Indifferent and taciturn." and the
affl iction of the sun by Herschel would
make things still worse. since H rschel
lends to cause divisions, separations,
scandals, etc Iuconclusion, be MAIN |
tains that marriage will be unfortunate
whenever it occurs, and that the Queen
VIII very probably survive her husband.

REGULATING THE SALOONS.

There is likely to be fewer saloons in
Wisconsin. Minnesota and Michigan II
an agreement just entered into by the
large brewers OF those States is not
violated. By this agreement they are
bound in future not to furnish fixtures
for saloons, nor 10 repair or re p ace any
fixtures belonging to the breweries now
in existence. The practice thus tabo ed
has been IN vogue largely IN these
States, as elsewhere. and, the brewers
say, has become a nuisance. 1t has
increased the number ofsaloons, without
a corresponding incl ease in the general
patronage, VIII lie the increased compe
tition has lessened the ability of the
retailer to meet his debt to the whole
ssler. Il has led also to the entry into
the saloon business OF many iTresponsi-
bic persons, the brewers declare, and
has resulted in a lowering ofthe standard
OF the retail trade,

be practically harmless. But pure alco-

alcohol causes total blindness has

CIVIL SERVICE REF ORM

is not Hourishing just now in this city,
and the reasons for its decline in popular
favor are too substantial to be disre-
garded A Congressman who has always
voted for the reform and warmly
champions its basic principles, thus
summarizes the present situation:
Every department OF the Govern
ment is seeking to attach to itself a b ody
% clerks outside of the civil service sYs.
tenn, The Spanish American war opened
the way, under the plea OF temporary
necessity, by bringing into the service
persons by direct appointment. The
forces thus created have been retained,
and there is no disposition to go back
although, OF course, the temporary
plea is without the slightest support
today, and, it may be confessed, never
could have been very sincerely urged.
Members Of the Appropriations Com
mitt e tell me they are much peIplexed
by the situation that cOnlronts them in
regard to these temporary employees
The other day a question came up in
regard to appropriating $40 600 for some
girls in the General Land Office, who
are car led on one OF these outside roles.
They are getting only S7 day, have no
vacation by law, and no sick leave; they

MosBY COMING EAST.

Col. John S. Mosby, the Confederate
ranger chief, who is on his way from
California to Virginia, was shown al
Denver. last Tuesday, a report that
Baron Robert Won Massow. one Of the
men who fought under him during the
Civil war and who is now in the German
army, had willed his fortune. estimated

"I remember Baron Won Massow
WE'LL" said Colonel Mosby He was
a dashing soldier He came to me well
recommended and accepted him He
had been a member of the general staff
OF the Prussia army and was a man OF
fine appearance and OF unquestioned
personal bravery. His :tusl particIps-
tion in our engagements showed that
he was not averse to battle. / believe
he enjoyed them.
THE Baron was severely wounded in
an engagement with a California regi
ment in Fairfax County, Virginia, not
far from Washington, | was leading
the charge, when my horse became
severely wounded. and my progress
being thus impeded, some of my men
passed me, among them Baron Massow.
Ried, an officer OF the CaliiornIans, was
overtaken by Massow, and the former
surrendered AS was our custom.
Massow told him TO go to the rear.
When a man surrendered we could not
afford to spare another to escort him
back. so we usually sent HIM to the
rear. When Massow told Ried to 20 to
the rear he app ared to obey, but when |
he got behind him he shot Massow in |
the back, infictIng a dangerous wound. !
AT the time Massow was busily engaged |
trying 10 take OFF the head Of another
officer of the CaliiornIans with his mag.
nitcent gold sabre, which he brought
with him from P. ussia. We did not use
swords at all, having discarded them
long ago as being obsolete. Instead we
carried two pistols apiece.
"Massow asked me for discharge, as
his wound was such that it WouId be
impossible for him to participate again
In the fighting. not only gave him an
honorable discharge. but wrote and
handed to him in person letter refer
ring in complimentary terms to his
service in our battalion. He returned
to Prussia, recovered entirely from the
wound and served With distinction in
the Seven Weeks War between the
Prussans, Austrians and Italians in 1866
and four years later in the Franco
Prussan War. The last heard OF him

she cannot escape this unhappiness.
Persons who are not superstitious will
laugh at this prediction. but those who

how much truth there is IN the prophecy
and will be especially curious to know
on what ground il is based. AS to ts

The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1901-03-09

Rev. DR.. w. A. P, Martin, president
Of the Imperial University at Pekln.
sailed yesterday from san Francisco to
resume his ,abors in the Orient. In an
address in the Presbyterian mission
house in San Francisco, DR. Martin
stated that he believed the causes Of
the Boxer uprising not to have been'the
labors of the missionaries but the COM
mercial encr1achments and aggrandize-
ment Of the powers and, especially, the
unwelcome construction Of railroads,
which often caused the desecration Of
cemeteries, a most serious offence to the
Chinese. 1t will probably always re-
main a deba;able question whether the
unwlse methods of many of the mis-
slonaries or the aggressions and en-
cheering operations Of the powers had
most TO do with the difficulties but
1t will remain a patent fact that much
Of the trouble could have been averted
by greater wisdom in the former and
greater honor in the latter. The err
ror Of the missionaries has been due
to lack Of tact; that of the powers to
downright dishonesty and outrageous
treatm ent of a free people.

NEW BRITISH INDUSTRIAL BASE.

n. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
The invitation extended by Canadian
journals TO British capitalists TO pre-
Dare for American competition by
erecting manufacturing plants in the
Dominion is significant but belated. 1t
comes almost too late now TO change
the fundamental conditions of compe-
ton. Besides, such transfers of Brit
ish capital and building of plants as
have attracted most attention recently
have been made in this country's favor
There are certain lines of manufac-
turing ia which Canadian natural re-
sources give pre-eminent advantages,
but of these American capital is avail
ing itself more freely than British. No
doubt it would be possible for British
capital to exploit the immense Cara
dian deposits of iron and nickel, and to
build pulp mills in Canada TO furnish
the British supplies of paper; but we
need Canadian nickel and pulp as much
as Great Rritain and it is known that
Canadian business men look to this
country for capital and enterprise to
develop these lines Of natural resources.
Our neighbors have a very import
ant advantage over us in their COM
Dleted waterway system, and it is more
likely that they will succeed in divert
ing to the St. Lawrence route a large
share of our grain traffic than that they
will disturb our manufactured exports ,
by inducing British capital to prefer
Canadian employment to our own. Still. |

forth and that British manufacturers
