Must Cut on T6eIr Re,r,.

The German emperor has issued his
command, and the doctors must now
cut OF their boards. The kaiser's own
physician as well as the empress and
their assistants, we are told, will be
obliged to shave, and the army sur
geons may next expect to receive their
orders The cause of all this stir, of
course, is the dangerous little mi
crobe. The creatures, 1t is found, at
tach themselves easily to a physi-
clans beard or mustache when he ex-
amines his patients throats, ETC., and
IL is possible then for him to carry the
disease in his beard to some other
person. Two German professors and
French professor have studied the
matter thoroughly, and the former
go so far as to say that a skull can
should be worn by the physicians in
the sick room.

ticles of agreement.
For three rounds the fight was inter
esting and honors were pretty evenly
divided. The chivalrous sports, how
ever, wanted the woman to win, and
while she was being sponged between
the rounds to keep her in good condi-
ton, the man was given long braces
of whisky.
After the third round few iolts on
the chin made him groggy, and in the
fifth he was knocked out by his spouse,
The referee officially awarded the fight
and the boy to the woman, and when
the man came to he was informed that
he had no claim on the lad.

not be strictly according to law, but
there is no doubt that it will hold at

WATCHING FOR JOHN
Rev. William ir,Ver's EoSr Let
Unlocked for % Years.
Faithful Parents Listening for the
Footsteps of SON Who Ran
Away from Home when He
Was Boy.

According 70 the Binghamton On.
" correspondent of the New York
Sun the recent death OF Rev. William
Miller, of Clifford, ends long and
fruitless watch for runaway boy.
Elder William Miller, as he was
known, was one of the best-known
Pennsylvania. He dictated at more
weddings and funerals than any 9TH
er clergyman in Susquehanna county.
He was 81 when he died
He was strongly opposed to games
OF ali kinds. One day, 2S years ago,
he discovered that his youngest son,
John, had been playing croquet. The
father gave the boy a severe scolding
and finally positively forbade him
ever again to play croquet.
John told companion afterward
that he would 'khow father trick"
That night, while the other members
of the family were asleep, he ran
away. The only things he took with
him besides his clothes were the pic
lures of his mother and sister re-
moved from the parlor album.
No trace OF him could be found
from the time he left the house. His
parents were firm in their belief that
he would slip into the house some
night as cautiously as he had slipped
out. They accordingly left the door
unlocked for him at night.
When a year had passed away they
were sure that he would return on
the anniversary of his disappear
ance; and when she retired that
night his mother left on the dining
room table those articles Of food of
which the boy had been most fond.
The custom was kept up every an
niversary of the day for five years.
So certain was the parents that he
would return when he had been gone
five years that they planned to hav
party for him, to which they invit-

ed the young people of the neighbor-
hood.
Then ten years was the time to-
ward which they looked forward, for
they said: Johnny will surely come
home when he has been gone ten
years."
The fifteenth and twentieth an
niversaries OF the boys disappear
ance were as anxiousIy awaited by the
parents. Three years ago they count
ed much on the twenty-ffth year
since their boy ran away, at which
time they were especially sure that
he would return; and the mother was
ready to greet him with an abund-
ance of the delicacies OF which he
was fond.
Since the night that he disappeared
not thing has been heard from the
missing son. But never for one instant
would the parents entertain the be-
lief that he was dead. Up to the
hour of his death the other day Will
liam Miller expected his sons return.
The aged mother, now alone, has
taken up the watch. AS for years
past, in her sleepless nights, she lis

which for more than % years has
never been locked.

PRIZE FIGHT FOR BOY.
Montana Woman Wins I'm Novel Fis-
tic Encounter with the Aid OF
Gallant Miners.

There was a novel prize fight at
Joliet, Mont, recently. The affair was
to have been to a finish, but lasted
only five rounds. The contestants
were husband and wife and the stake
was their three-year-old boy, Dick.
The scene of the affair was Gilbert
Hall, the largest in the town. A we'll
known man acted as referee.
The couple had separated and never
met except by chance. On these oc-
casions there was always a fistic en-
counter. At all times, either by force
or by strategem, the woman remained
in possession Of the child.
1t was decided that the man and his
wife were to enter the ring and fight

ENGLAND'S SHORTAGE
Budget Statement Shows Deficit
of $225,O00,0OO.
NEW TAXES WERE ANNOUNCED

The Tax on Flour and Meat Is In.
creased and the Sinking Fund is to
Be Suspended - SAG 1000, 900 Treas
ury Loan to BE FIoated.
London. April 15.-The chancellor
of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, made the budget statement in
the house OF commons yesterday. He
declared that the past year had not
been exceptionally prosperous. but
there was nothing to depress the coun-
try. Despite the fact that thousands of
workmen had been removed from pro-
ductive labor by the war, the revenue
figures showed no diminution of bust
ness at home. while there was a sat.
isfactory increase OF foreign trade.
and there was no reason for thinking
that there has been any falling Oft of
the consuming power of the people.
He then announced that the total de-
felt would reach S45,000,O00 (S225,-
o0o,o00). which includes about ST..
100000 additional war expenses.
The chancellor of the exchequer
said he had hopes Of happy result
from the conference in South Africa,
but he had put them aside. Prepare
lions for the continuance of the war
were the best guarantee of peace. The
income tax is increased a penny in
the pound sterling. There is no in
crease in the duty on sugar. The sink
Ing fund is to be suspended. The du-
ties on wine, beer. tobacco and tea are
not changed. A penny tax is imposed
on dividend warrants, and two penny
stamps must be placed on checks, In
stead OF one penny as heretofore. A
duty Of pence per hundred-weight is
imposed on -four. The sum of esq.,
100000 will be borrowed. The duty
on meat is five pence per hundred
weight
The revenue from the new taxation
is expected to be 95,160, 900. After
borrowing $4,000, 600 the chancellor
OF the exchequer will make UP the
deficit by drafts on the exchequer.
At late hour last night II was
learned upon excellent authority that
the principal provision Of the budget,
namely the treasury loan of 9S2,00O.-
600, upon which Sir Michael Hicks
Beach was remarkably reucent, has
II serious bearing upon the peace Ques-
Nion. There appears to be a very
strooS belief in the cabinet that, owing
TO the expected early termination Of
the war the G32,000,00 will never be
needed.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach Is seldom
dramatic; but when he referred to the
governments intention to restock the
Boer, as well as the colonial farms.
his voice rose to an eloquent pitch.
His gesture. as he spoke in praise OF
the valor of the Beers, and expressed
his hopes for subsequent friendship
between Briton and Boer, took the
house with him, and the cheers, espe-
cially from the opposition. prevented
the speaker from continuing his
speech for some moments. During this
pause the chancellor OF the exche-
quer turned towards Mr.. Chamberlain,
the colonial secretary, who sat pale
and motionless, palpably none too
well pleased at this Official recantation
OF his unconditional surrender" for
mula.

HITCH IN PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
England Refuses to Grant Amnesty to
Later Cape Rebels.

Later Cape Rebels.
London, April 16.-The Daily Mail
this morning says serious hitch has
occurred in the peace negotiations in
South Africa. The cabinet council
has decided to refuse q strongly word
ed request from the Boer leaders at
Pretoria for an armistice pending the
negotiations. This alone is not likely
to cause the Beers to withdraw from
the conference, but what threatens to
stop the negotiations is the fact that
the government declines to place the
later Cape rebels upon the same foot
ing as the burghers with respect to
amnesty, and is not inclined to with
draw the Punishment proclamation.
These features are regarded by the
Beers as two cardinal points In the ir-
reducible minimum of terms which
Lord Miner went to Pretoria to as
certain, and in return for which the
Beers agree to the loss OF independ-
ence and general surrender.
Their other claims, continued the
Daily Mail, are that Great Britain shall
rebuild and restock the farms, take
over the legal claims and liabilities Of
the two republics and grant a repre-
sentative government within a shorter
period than is now contemplated.
