Sam. Last year nearly 10000 came
to us from Bremen, three-fourths of
whom were from Poland, Russia, Hun
gary and Bohemia. The Germans
were comparatively few, as these peo-
pie have ceased to emigrate in any
thing like the number that sought us
before and after the Civil War.
Bremen is over LOO years old. It
has had it's share of the ups and downs
which have marked the venerable cit
les of Europe, and when piracy was
looked upon as semi-respectable oc-
cupation Bremen sent out her quota
of buccaneers. Of her industries ship
building is foremost and gives work
to thousands. The city has an old
quarter and a new and both are mar
velously clean. The old cathedral has
been standing 900 years and was taken
over by the Reformers when Bremen
embraced the doctrines of Luther.
There is also venerable church near
it which continued in possession Of
the Catholics. The Town Hall is a

argument among the jurymen as to the
guilt Of the accused, the question Of

The millionaire who was convicted at

Even after his Indictment for bribery
he secured the election Of his son to
Congress and another relative to local

the wealth Of the accused and the tre-

THE CITY OF BREMEN.
Its Historical Attractions and Its
Growth and Beauty.


Bremen is one of the beautiful cities
of Europe. It's cleanliness, no less
than it's attractive buildings, streets
and squares, is noticeable. The Ger
mans stand first in exemplifying this
virtue and Bremen is the highest type
of this characteristic. Nothing is al
lowed to accumulate in public that
would detract from good looks, and
dirt fails to find lodgment in even out
of-the-way places.
The city lies upon both sides Of the
river Weser, and before the era of big
steamships, her wharves were lined
with ships. Her maritime career be-
gan In the fourteenth century when
vessels Of light draught were used to
transport goods over the northern seas.
Her sailors once disputed with En-
gland, Holland, Spain and Venice for
the prizes held out to daring and skill
full seamanship. She suffered severely
from war and saw her population re-
duced to mere handful and property
leveled by the millions by fire before
the invader withdrew. But she sur
vived these setbacks, recovered the
ground lost, and under the benign in
fiuence of peace has thrived wonder
fully. Bremen to-day has more peo-
pie, greater riches, and far more COM
forts than ever before in her history.
She is progressive and some of the
finest commercial structures of the old
world ORC found In bar streets
While the commercial ramifcations
Of Bremen are worldwide, it's greatest
business Is with the United States.
The departure Of immigrants to our
country is a. big share of the total, as
every vessel leaving there now has
hundreds and, in the case of big ships,
thousands seeking a home with Uncle

At the gathering were famous states
men. sculptors and artists Of world
wide fame Governors of half dozen
States, Senators, noted churchmen,
leaders of commerce and finance, dis
tinguished men Of the army and navy
all met to show the nations regard for
the French diplomat who had proved
at critical time that he and the nation
he represented were interested in and
Jealous Of the welfare Of this country.
Senator Chauncey M. Depew and
James Fl. Hyde, of New York, were the
hosts. M. Cambon goes from Washing
ton to the court of Spain, and takes
with him an unusual degree Of regard
and respect from those who have been
best able to appreciate his Jealous eff
forts to more firmly establish the
friendly relations existing between
France and the United States.
1t was during the war with Spain
that M. Cambon won the lasting friend
ship of this nation. He was one of the
two representatives Of foreign powers
chosen by Senior Polo, the last Spanish
minister at Washington before the out
break Of hostilities, to look after SPANS
affairs here, and as such bore an Inn
portant part in the conflict that ensued.
NJ. Cambon is one Of the most distin-
guished diplomats in the service of the
French republic. He has had long years
Of experience in foreign courts and his
career has been most honorable. AT
Washington he gave evidence OF I'M
usual ability in treating with affairs OF
state, and the interests of his govern
ment never suffered from his connec-
ton with them. He has been an elab-
crate entertainer, and during his stay
In Washington the French embassy has
been the scene of numerous receptions
at which the wealth and fashion of the
capital were largely represented.

Rabbit Skins for Hats.

Fur hats are made almost exclu-
sively from rabbit fur, not from the
American rabbit, however, because
the pluckfng of the long hairs from
the skin which is a necessary prelim-
mary, cannot, because of the high
cost of labor, be done proftahly here.
A machine invented for the purpose

country's makers is derived from Eng
lish and Australian skins which are

judged guilty of murder nearly four
years ago, has been acquitted by jury
of his peers. The second trial presented
marked differences from the first Judge
Lambert, country judge, whe presld-
ed, displayed singular fairness, good
Judgment, and patience, in sharp con-
trast to Recorder Golf, whose attitude
toward the defense in the first trial was
the subject of criticism, sharp, if not
harsh. Evidence damaging to Moli-
neux, chiefly in the form Of letters
which the Recorder admitted, was de-
clared by the Court Of Appeals to have
been improperly admitted. In the first
trial the prosecuting attorney had ev-
erything his own way. All the test1-
mony he wished to introduce was let in.
The State is often at a disadvantage
in second trial. Some Of its witnesses
cannot be found, as was the case in the
second trial of Molineux. His long i'm
prisonment and suffering must have in
fiuenced the jury little. All Of these
influences, of course, operated to secure
an acquittal for him. The court found
it necessary to reprove Mr.. Osborne, the
prosecuting attorney, whose eagerness
to secure a conviction exceeded all rea-
sonable bounds. 1t is possible for

one can review the whole case with sat

in spite Of great efforts on the part Of
the State. the murderer is still at large.

Some of the bravest, best-hearted
men of the world are addicted to the
habit of profane swearing on occasion.
They do not mean anything in partlc-
ular. They employ the language Tor
mere emphasis. At the same time, any
clean-minded person who uses profan-
ity will apologize for the habit. why
persist in doing something for when
one is obliged to apologize! LOOK
about you. Listen to swearing boy
He has caught the lowest oaths that
come from the lowest and vilest sur
roundings Along with the profane
and indecent words you realize the
fact the boy must have profane ana
indecent thoughts. Suppose 1t were
your own boy? And why not If you
use profane language? You are his
exempIar. Hear a woman curse ana
swear. Does it not go through one
like an electric shock2 The ideal OF
womanhood is dragged down. HUI
mainly is debased by it. One grows
sick at heart You feel the brute side
of humanity. The distance between
womanhood and a thing seems ali the
distance between heaven and hell lit
sounds so differently from woman:
There's your double standard Of mo-
rality-a false standard that has
wrought incredible mischief. But
again: Does the swearer realize what
it means to handy sacred words? Has
he not lost appreciation Of delicacy?
The name of God ought never to be
spoken save in reverence, spoken when
the heart is tender and a prayer is in
the soul There are those about one
who hold the name in awe and who
love and trust the Great Benefcence.
How shall they feel when name, which
is to them above every name. Is drag
ged into the mud Of careless speech?
AS you would not couple the name OF
your mother or wife or daughter in
coarse ribaldry so you should not take
in vain the name Of the noble Naza-
rene There are worse habits than
swearing-many worse. There are
those who have never sworn an oath
who are liars, thieves, hypocrites, MUIR
derers. That is true. Nevertheless
the man who doesn't swear has the
better chance to be decent, courteous
self respecting gentleman.
