BISMARCK STATUE
UNVEILED YESTERDAY.
IN BERLIN WITH IMPOSING cERE-
MONIES IN PRESENCE OF EN-
PEROR AND EMPRESS
AND AN ENORMOUS cRowl
A VERY NOTABLE ADDRESS WAS
DELIVERED
By Count Won Buelow. the Imperial
Chancellor, Who Paid . Deserved
Tribute to the Great German
Statesman-The National Anthem
Sung by Eight Thousand.

BERLIN, June 16.-The Bismarck
statue, facing the column OF Victoria in
front of the Reichstag building, was un-
yelled at midday to-day in the presence
of the Emperor and Empress, PrSce
Herbert Bismarck, Count Won Buelow
Prince Hohenlohe, the ministers and the
members of the legislative houses and
the memorial committee. There was an
imposing array of officers, officials, vet
Grams and associations, students, etc.
and an enormous gathering OF people
Emperor William inspected the guard OF
honor and then took his place under
the Baldachin with the Empress. A
thousand school children sang in chorus
and DR.. Won Levetzew, Conservative
leader of the Reichstag, delivered brief
eulogistic address. Count Won Buelow
the imperial chancellor, then made a
speech in which he said:
Among the whole German people
there is no one but knows that no YES
tige of the Iron Chancellor's day upon
earth will disappear; that the admira-
ton and gratitude towards him will in
crease while German hearts beat OF
while German fists are clinched. Bis
marck's was Leonine nature. Upon
earth he stood amid the dust of battle
battle brings with it just opposition
unjust misunderstanding, honorable en-
nifty and blind hatred. when the dust
is dispersed there remains the memory
of unparalleled deeds and of pefilous
personality"
Count Won Buelow then eloquently
sketched Bismarck's stupendous work in
establishing the empire
Continuing, he said:
only fools and fanatics would main
tain that Bismarck never made a mis-
take or that the maxims he laid down
must be applied in all circumstances.
Rigid dogmas do not hold either in po-
litical or economic life What his whole
work teaches us, is that it is essential
in politics always clearly to recognize
the limits of the attainable and to stake
all upon the attainment of what will be
of advantage to the country. Bismarck
belongs to no party; he belongs to the
whole nation.
May the name of this great man
always go before the German people
as pillar of fire on good as in evil
days May our German people face
their future in peace, freedom, we'll be-
ing and strength under the leadership
of the glorious house of Hohenzollern
on whose shoulders the nations future
rests"
Count Won Buelow concluded his
speech by calling for three cheers for
the Emperor and the fatherland.
The eight thousand people present
then sung the national anthem and at a
signal from the Emperor the veil fell
from the statue, and the fountains start
ed playing amid the ringing cheers oil
the assembly. On the pedestal Of tht
statue there appears the single word
Bismarck"

They can go If they want to take the

several members, If not all. will go at
least that far westward. The Secretary
of the Navy has offered to take the
committee to Hawaii to inspect Pearl

tons, and the same ship will carry
them to the Philippines If they desire to
go. The prospect Is a pleasing enc to

BENEFIT
OF CHARITY
Ladies Are Rewarded By
I God Results From
Mardi Gras.

The drill shed presented dismal APP
pearance yesterday afternoon in COM
parison with the gayety and splendor of
the night before. The colored bunting
and evergreens were being torn down,
and the royal throne, with it's dignity
of artistic drapery, was being rapidly
reduced to a heap of rough lumber upon
the floor beside the great gilt crown
which hung above it throughout the
gayety of the carnival, While the fes-
TONED and decorated boxes from which
fashionable Honolulu leaned and smiled,
were being rudely dismantled and robbed
of their gay draperies. Dropping ever
greens were being carried away in carts,
and the numerous potted palms that lent
added festivity to the fairyland of the
Mardi Gras were being called for and
carried away by their owners. In the
refreshment rooms the few remnants of
the banquet were being swept out that
the apartments might again become the
sober headquarters of the various COM
panies to which they belong. Early in
the morning the carriage of the Asso-
ciated Charities had called for the re-
mainder of the bounteous feast A dozen
poor families, and the unfortunates of
different charitable institutions We're
made glad by the generous baskets of
the substant al refreshments left over
from the supper-rooms.
The work of dismantling was begun
very soon after the ball broke up, at 2
o'clock yesterday morning, and by s
o'clock last night there We're only a few
traces left of the gay Mardi Gras-
| Very little could be learned definitely
as to the receipts of the bali yesterday,
and the ladies in charge were seeking
their well-deserved rest after the hard
work they have done for the past few
weeks, and had not gathered in the re-
ports from the various committees.
That the venture was a pronounced sue
cess financially, however, is an assured
fact At last reports nearly a thousand
tickets had been sold and many more
were disposed of on the evening of the
ball. Over $500 was received from the
sale of the boxes alone, and at the auc-
ton of the posters at the ball, Colonel
Fisher took In s136. The expenses, ac-
cording to the estimate of Mrs. Ora
ham, will not exceed $500, and it is ex-
pected that the net receipts. when all
the tickets have been accounted for and
all Indebtedness cleared, will amount to
nearly $1,000.
No definite plans have been made for
the expenditure of this generous gather
ing, but the sum will be used for the
benefit of the Eye and Ear Infirmary
in such manner as the committee, which
will be appointed for the purpose deems
best Probably a monthly rental will be
arranged for, and several old obligations
of the institution wiped out These
things will be determined later, when
the exact amount of the fund is known
and when the ladies to whom is due the
credit of having raised the magnificent
contribution to charity have had little
time to rest and to formulate the new
plans.

SHOT WITH A COTTON SEED.

came into the Ledger's Office, with blood
streaming down his face, which issued
from a hoe directly over his eye. He said
that he had just been shot at the corner
of Eleventh street and First avenue. In
his hand Barney had something round
and hard, which was very bloody and he
said it hit him over the eye when he
heard the noise made by the firing of a
gun. The lick that he received stunned
and blinded him and he could not tell
from which way it came. The little round
thing he held in his hand proved to be a
cotton seed, free of all lint, and had
been hardened until it could not be press
ed in at oil. The seed was as hard as
bullet and with sufficient force behind it.

no louder than the noise made by a par

hit him, had all run away. 1t is thought
