CREAM OF GERMAN NAVY.

Crew of Kaiser's Yacht Hohenzol-
lern Composed of Picked Men.
On the Hohenzollern, which is to be
the home of Prince Henry in this coun-
try, is a crew comprising the cream Of
the German navy, says the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch. Every man on the en-
peror's yacht is picked man, from the
galley boy up.
There are only 300 of these men, and
a better trained and better disciplined
crew is not af1oat. Every man is typ
ical German. All wear either a little
pointed beard or go clean shaved.
There is no mustache in the German
navy without a beard to accompany it.
The discipline on the yacht is perfect.
The routine is that of man-of-war, in
which class the Hohenzollern belongs.
The emperor's own cooks are on
board the yacht. There are five Of
these. Four arrived on the Graf Wal
dersee recently and will accompany
Prince Henry on his tour. The entire
kitchen force is the same that cooks
the emperor's meals when he is on
board the yacht. The kitchen is kept as
neat and clean as parlor and is
guarded as sacredly as the emperor's
own quarters.
The yacht is fitted with two rapid
fire rifles well up toward the bow.
These are fixed behind screens and are
used for saluting visiting officials. Two
immense searchlights are located on
the bow Of the yacht. In appearance
the yacht is more solid and less luxuri-
GUS than the yachts of some American
mil1ionaires. 1t is finished in splendid
style, but the solidity necessary to car
ry out the idea Of a warship is there.
The most marked courtesy and disci
pltne prevail. among the officers of the
yacht. When the officers are leaving
the yacht in citizens dress they always
raise their silk hats, while the officers
remaining on the yacht salute in re-
turn. When the admiral is going
ashore, the officer Of the deck stands at
salute until he reaches the pier, when
the shrill pipe of the boatswain an
nounces that the commandant is on
shore.

Dur Royal Visitor Devoted to Prac-
maker by Trade and Bad Shot.
How He Recognized a StoLer on
the Kronprinz WiIheIm.
Prince Henry's tastes are simple, and
ne has an old fashioned hatred of debt
says the New York World.
Emperor Williams brother, who is
Bow the guest of the United States, is
bond of his pipe or a good cigar, but
draws the line at cigarettes. The ed
ucation of the prince mas been both
academic and practical. He can speak
readily in six languages besides his
Dwn-English, French, Spanish, Ital-
ian, Russian and Swedish. AS an all
round musician he has few equals
among amateurs, and he is passionate
" fond of a stirring march.
AS has always been the custom among
the Hohenzollerns, he learned trade
IN his youth. His brother, the emper-
Or, chose to be a gloyemaker, and the
prince apprenticed himself to watch
maker; consequently if Prince Henry
were thrown upon his wits for living
he could pay his way anywhere mend
Ing clocks and watches. Everything
necessary In the sailors trade he can
DO, from holystontng the deck to TAX
Ing his place at the wheel.
TNhoyo OF h. ~ foI-
scholar. His restless energy made him
feel more at home in the playground
than at the desk. His mind is practi-
raj, but not brilliant Books are not so
attractive to him as mer and ships
In politics he is Liberal and conse-
quently in opposition to the emperor.
His views upon the question of govern
ment are much more American than
German and make him the most popu-
lar prince among the royalties of Eu-
rope.
Again and again his courage and love
Of risk have led him into trouble. Sew
pral times he has been practically ban
lshed from court because of his out
spoken expressions of opinion. His first
baniBhment was in 1893, when he was
sent abroad for year because of his
opposition to the emperor's army bill
The emperor ordered his brother never
to NEEDLE again with political ques-
tions. On another occasion he aroused
the anger Of the emperor by remarking,
"Oh, I'm. not afraid of William, for /
hare read somewhere that since the
French revolution he has no power
over me-
1t is said that the prince once upset
the graTity of an entertainment by re

An appropriation of $4,000 has ac-
cordingly been asked for. Congress
views the matter with various feelings.
The tall men are a unit for the meas
ure, but the short men view it with
suspicion as the entering wedge of a
flood Of bills in the interest Of their
long fellow citizens.
The tallest man in the house is the
Hon. Cyrus A. Sulloway of New Hamp-
shire, who is so many inches over six
feet in height that he cannot count
them.
81 strongly sympathize with this
proposition" said Mr.. suIloway, in dis
cussing Mr.. Aliens needs, "and be-
lieve that we should go further than

else nature Of the remedy differ with
Mr.. Hay. 1t isn't new legation build

And I'll vote him a barn any time. Of
course, his head might occasionally get

Samuel W. Smith of Michigan, the

100 TALL FOR KOREA.
Consul General Allen Wants
4 Special Building For Himself.
HAS TO ENTER DOORS SIDEWAYS.

Difficulties of Our Representative at
| His Pygmy Quarters-House OF Rep
resentatives May Be Divided Over
Odd Measure Apprcpriating Money.
1 There is some danger of the house Of
Representatives being divided into tall
and short factions, as result Of an ap-
plication made by Consul General AL
len, the American representative at
Seoul, Korea, says the New York
Times. The tail men are disposed to
champion Mr.. Allen, while the short
men look upon the relief he asks as the
first step in legislation for the benefit
of tall men, who, they think, are al
ready sufficiently favored by nature
without calling in the aid Of legisla-
Hon.
Mr.. Allen, it should be promised, is a
- Eery tall man. How much over six
feet he is cannot be definitely ascer-
tanned, but an acquaintance of his in
the state department, to whom recourse
was had for information, says that
mir: Allen looks like 'ta parallel Of
longitude"
The worst Of it is that Mr.. Allen is
-also>ta sideways. He has the mis-
fortune to represent the United States
in a country where all the inhabitants
are lilliputians. In Korea a tall man is
suspected of being an ogre. The Ko-
re2ns build their houses to accommo-
date themselves and not to accommo-
date diplomats from Brobdingnagian
Gtates. To Mr.. Allen the most often
siye feature of his pygmy house in
Seoul is the doorway, which is built in
proportion to the house and is four
feet high. When he enters this door,
Mr.. Allen has to go in doubled up like
"a jackknife. The Koreans are not
only short, but slim, and as the door
ways are built to accommodate slim
people, Mr.. Allen has to go in side
ways.
Mr.. Allen set forth his complaint In
"a communication to the state depart.
ment, in which he asked that build
ding be erected in Seoul especially for
.him, so that he could properly uphold
the dignity Of the United States, in
stead of exciting the derision Of the
people among whom his lot was cast
sty entering his demesne like round
;shouldered crab.
In this communication Mr.. Allen
stated that his official residence was
Just opposite his palace, so that his
lhumiliating position was doubly ac-
centuated He said that he had to bend
over when he entered his doorway.
When he got inside the house, he de-
cIared in his Communication he could
not stand up If he had his hat on.
He estimated the cost of new build
ing at $4,000. Secretary Hay indorsed
sils application. and It was sent to con-

aiding the ordinary seaman IN this
country. He was surprised to find that
we were so far behind in this respect
and that our ordinary seamen received
such little protection. I can safely say
he is as democratic man as ever
met. He never talks about anything
he knows nothing about, and when he
does not know about anything he is

! the stern and clambered upon deck
| again.
At another time he put thaler be-
tween his teeth and dashed up the rig
ging of the Ship crying out, "He who
catches me shall have the thalery' A
number of the crew sprang after him
and chased him from spar to spar, but
the daring young prince lodged all his
pursuers and slid down loose rope
to the deck again. Tossing the thaler
to the nearest sailor, he said laughing
", eff you are as thirsty as am you
must want it, so here's your money"
In 1898 he was nearly killed by an ex-
plosion on the warship Baden and re-
ceived the cross Of distinguished serv-
ice for his presence of mind on that
occasion. He sprang at once, regard
less of risk, to the assistance of the in
jured sailors and did not rest until ev-,
cry sufferer had been suitably cared
for. Two years ago while travelling in
Siam he was held up by bandits and
robbed Of $1,000 in gold.
The prince is a notoriously bad shot.
When a young man, he shot game
keeper and wounded him SO severely
that the poor fellow has been pen
sioner ever since. When on a shooting
expedition in Greece, he fell and ac-
cidentally discharged his gun full into
the back of a Grecian dignitary. A
month afterward he did serious dam
age to Turkish courtier who had been
appointed to attend him on a hunting
trip.
Queen Victoria once asked him at
dinner what sport he had enjoyed in
the hunting preserves during the day.
"Well," said the prince, II didn't kill |
any birds or any keepers, but wound
ed quite few"

WOMAN MURDERED
IN DRINKING ROOM
JUeULAR VEIN WAS SEVERED
AND MAN ESCAPES OUT OF SIDE
DooR-oNLY WITNESS CANNOT
GIVE DESCRIPTION.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 23.-one Of the most
mysterious murders in the city's history
was committed tonight in a drinking
room in the rear of the Traction hotel.
The victim is Agnes King of 139 Craw-
ford street. The murderer. who escaped
is unknown.
The story is that the woman and man
had been drinking together since Monday
at the different saloons In the neighbor-
hood, and the carousal ended in a quar-
rel this afternoon, which was renewed
tonight when the couple met on High
street. The woman went into the hotel
bar and took a seat in the rear room.
The man followed her and asked her If
she would keep up her bluff" This
question was repeated three times and
each time answered in the negative.
Quick as flash the man pulle> a dirk
and made a lunge at the woman, cutting
her under the ear. A second slash sew
cred the jugular, then the murderer
stepped out a side door and escaped. At
midnight he was still at large.
The victim died while in the patrol
wagon on the way to the hospital
The only witness of the murder was
a woman who happened to be in the
room when the couple entered. She says
the whole affair was enacted so quickly
she can give no description of the MUIR
derer.

was sitting on the end of a cross tie near

Sheriff Hasty was notified by telephone

There Is a section about 12x25 miles at
and around Linden that has had no rain
since April 6, and the farming interests
are, you might say. a complete failure.
The courthouse question seems to be
unsettled yet. The contractors are push
ing the work on the lot previously de-
scribed but the injunctionists say that
the commissioners have misinterpreted
the Supreme Court decision and 1t is
altogether probable that the matter will
soon be in the courts again.
