Mr.. Ayres had been shot, because the
blood ran down his arm and on to
the pistol, covering my hands and his.
Then he fell over on me, and. being
foot and half taller than l, bore
me to the floor with his weight This
fall saturated my wrapper with his
blood, and, after crying for help, I
stepped on to the fire escape and
reached my room. There l washed
my hands and blood stained wrapper
and waited for the morning."
The police learned that the woman
had been receiving the attention OF
Ayres for months, and, knowing he
was going away, went to his room and
after a quarrel shot him. There Is
evidence that there was struggle for
the possession of the pistol.

Emperor Wllliam's Cook Taking Lessons

Americans will be glad to learn that
Q new bond Of sympathy has been
woven between the German emperor
and the people of the great republic. 1t
is announced that the German sover-
eign has added buckwheat cakes to the
royal menu; also Goldfish cakes. hominy
pancakes. oatmeal and Welsh rarebit!
BY his order the imperial chef took
passage on an American liner, and on
the voyage was instructed In the
preparation Of long list of typically
American dishes. The emperor capitu-
lated to buckwheat ON the occasion OF
q recent visit to the new Hamburg
American yacht, the Prinzcessin Vic
toria Luise. The chef of chefs Of the
Hamburg-American line is Emil Fab
renheim Of the steamship Deutschland.
For the OCCASION he was transferred to
the yacht and for the kaiser's break
fast prepared typical American menu,
which, so the story goes, SO pleased the
emperor that he invited himself to
remain for luncheon and dinner. On
his return from the theater at mid
night he was RECALLED with a Welsh
rarebit. Then it was that the kaiser
capitulated. 'Ach, Gott," he exclaimed
fervently, never have tasted such
delicacies as these buchweizen pfann-
kuchen and hominy pfannkuchen.
They are so light! So tarty! So rich!
My Gordon bleu shall be instructed In
the art Of preparing them" So Herr
Voelkers, the Koeniglich-K aiserliche
mund koch, sailed with the Deutsch-
land and was put through course or
culinary sprouts, taking voluminous
notes and upon arrival at Cherbourg
graduated from the tutelage Of Herr
Fahrenheim with high honors. Some
day he is to make the round trip on
the Deutschland and learn further OF
American cooking. The emperor has
but just embarked upon his culinary
conquest and there are still worlds to
conquer. The Welsh rarebit will but
give him appetite for the golden buck.
the Goldfish cake for brown bread and
baked beans, the buckwheat cake for
mince pie. And after these there Will

that such convicts will be the chief
beneficiaries of the new law.

Oldest and Youngest.

Two veterans who attended the Mis-
souri, Grand Army Of the Republic en-
campment last week are believed to
hold a record each. One was Henry
Dormon, who was born January 10,
1899, and served in the Seventh Mich
igan cavalry through the civil war.
He is thought to be the Oldest of all
Grand Army men. Gilbert Van Zandt
of Kansas City claims to be the young
est veteran. When 10 years old he
enlisted in the Seventy-ninth Ohio in
fantry as drummer boy and was af-
terward detailed as dispatch carrier.

When the ship subsidy bill was be-

senators asserted that without the sub

Morgan's purchase of the Atlantic lines
completely refutes their statements
and the subsidy grabbers will have to
use some other argument in the next
Congress.

HAMMER AND ANVIL.

The attempt of President Mckinley
to arouse the enthusiasm Of his audi
ences by abiding to "the flag" which
he did twenty-six times in three days,
would indicate that we are soon to
be entangled with trouble with some
foreign foe. We are hardly over one
war yet, Mr.. President; better give
us bit of rest and allow the war
taxes we are still paying to be re-
pealed.
The recall OF Archbishop Chapelle
from the Philippines and his journey

tween the Vatican and the United
States regarding the sequestration OF
the property of the monasteries in the
Philippines" So there is conflict be-
tween church and state in the Philip
pines, in spite of the censored reports
that everything was lovely there.

Reduce Army Of Philippines.

New York, March 25.--A special from
Washington says: Advices from the
Philippines are so encouraging for peace
that the war department is considering
the advisability Of reducing the garrisons
in the archipelago. The reorganized army
will be recruited to the full strength of
100 900 men, but it is believed that future
requirements will not compel the admins
trdtion to maintain this maximum.
About 10000 regulars will be entitled to
their discharges in the current year. 1t is
proposed to let these soldiers return TO
their homes and to not fill their places.
Thus the army can be reduced to 10000
men in a perfectly natural way without
interfering with its discipline or effective
ness.
