that the shirt waist and stock collar

Correspondence Of the London Standard.
A noteworthy incident occurred recently
when the emperor. accompanied by some
OF his aids-de-camp. was returning from his
customary ride in the Thiergarten to the
old palace here. He noticed a group of the
unemployed on the bridge in front of the
palace. and after returning their salute
looked closely at them and then beckoned
to a police officer and sergeant After
speaking to them he again greeted the un-
employed and went on his way. 1t is said
that his majesty is greatly distressed at
the scarcity of work and consequent suf-
fering and is anxious to relieve IL as far
as possible. With this object he has or
dered that certain public works, which were
to be undertaken at later date, shall be
begun as soon as possible He has further
expressed wish that the Examinations on
the occasion of his birthday shall be linn

on charitable purposes. This wish has been
communicated to the Berlin municipal au-
