Both in the French and English press
there is at present much talk about
Gambetta's relations to Bismarck, most
of which is wide of the mark. The only
occasion on which the great French
man visited Germany, with view. pos
sibly, of meeting the chancellor, was in
the autumn of 1881, when the Germans
woke up one fine morning to find that
he had been prowling about incOgnitO
among them.
Gambetta went as far as Konigsberg
and thus passed quite close to Varzin,
where Bismarck was staying at the
time. Referring to this at one Of his
parliamentary soirees, Bismarck said
he supposed that the French statesman
had really intended paying him visit,
but had abandoned his purpose on
learning, perhaps en- route. from his
friends in Paris that such an act might
be misconstrued in France.
Within a month of this mysterious
visit to Germany Gambetta had form.
ed a new French ministry and taken
unto himself the portfolio of foreign
affairs. HE works upon the nerves
of Europe" said Bismarck, like a
man who beats drum in a sickroom.'

PENNSYLVANIA ALMANACS.
why One of Them Has Become Fixed
In Public Confidence.

Although the predominating race in
Lancaster county is TeutOnic, it may
be said in favor of those still living
here that they have during the past
fifty years discarded many of the old
time beliefs that were brought by their
ancestors from the fatherland.
There is an oracle in Lancaster cOun-
ty, however, to which all bend their
knee and which. next to the family
Bible, holds the place nearest to the
rural and in many instances the city
heart. 1t is the almanac, the German
almanac.
Lancaster, the ancient, has always
been an almanac city. The first one,
"The Entirely New and Improved
North American Almanac" was pub
lished here in 177G by Francis Bailey
in the German language. 1t became
popular at a bound and was the fore
runner of a great host of almanacs
that have continued to the present day.
In 1T79-S0 three almanacs were issued
by Lancaster printers-namely, Francis
Bailey, Matthias Bartgis and TheOphO-
lis COssart. In the same year the city
of Philadelphia was publishing only
two. Allrect and Lain published al
manacs from 17SS to 1900, and later
sons of Lain carried on the work until
some time between 1880 and 1910.
But the" almanac was still to come.
This was the one issued in English in
1925 and in German in 1880 by John
Baer, a work which is still religiously
consulted in homes not only in Ian
caster county, but throughout many
other regions in eastern Pennsylvania.
Its predecessors commanded the re-
spect Of the people. but Baer's almanac
won their confidence to a degree never
perhaps enjoyed by any publication in
the state of Pennsylvania. 1t all came
about in most peculiar way.
This almanac antedates the weather
bureau in the matter of weather pre-
dictions. Under every day in the yeai
/ is set forth the kind of weather thai
will prevail. and these predictions re
ceive the most unhesltating credenct
from thousands of people. This con
| tidence arose in this way: One year il
the early days of the almanac snow
was announced for day in the middl,
of July. 1t was. of course, typograph
ical error which the proofreader failed
to detect. But on the day SO specified
there was a severe hailstorm. with {
few transient fakes of snow. Tha
was enough and fixed public confidenc,
in the almanac for all time.-Lancaste

Rev. DIR. strObridge DenOunces tn
Unfair Treatment They Receive.

Rev. DIR. strObridge DenOunces the
Unfair Treatment They Receive.
At the recent New York Methodist
preachers meeting the Rev. G. 3.
Strobridge. D. D., Of Stamford, Conn,
read a strong paper on the unfair treat
ment accorded to chaplains in the
United States navy and criticised Sc
verely the abuses to which they are
subjected,
The pay Of a chaplain is $500, with
500 ration money. This is his salary,
however, only when he is at sea. When
detailed for shore duty, his support is I
reduced to $1,000, and waiting Or
ders'' is $1,000.
When he is on shore duty, he is
obliged to rent and furnish a house or /
apartments at high rates in some city, |
so as to be near to his place of duty, |
and all our naval stations are at places
where the living is costly. But the
other officers who sit beside him at the
table on shipboard, when they are de-
tailed for shore duty, have sumptuous
houses of ten and twelve rooms lavish
ly furnished provided for them in the
navy yard at the expense of the gov
eminent. Not only in their support,
but also in their dress. the chaplains
are oppressed by an Odious distinction.
Three years ago a board was ap-
pointed to devise a uniform for the
chaplains. This board consisted of two
distinguished line officers and three
chaplains. One of these chaplains
was the only one Of the twenty-four
in the navy who opposed the use Of a
uniform. He brought in a minority re-
port to that effect. The majority re-
port advised the adoption of fair and
reasonable uniform. The secretary Of
the navy accepted the majority report,
and yet he was apparently so influence
ed by the minority report that he mod
flied the recommendations of the ma
jority report to such a degree as to rem
der them largely nugatory.
As a result of this action of the sec
rotary the chaplains were given a sat
isfactory service uniform. but on dress
occasions they are compelled to wear a
single breasted, long tailed. shad bellied
frock coat
On account of this grotesQue garb the
chaplain is ignored at all official or
dress functions among the officers
whether at home or abroad.
Because this uniform Of the chaplains
is so essentially. indeed so absurdly,
different from that worn by the other
officers one of our most highly esteem
ed chaplains was ordered below decks

The Maryland Senator Also Declared
That Cuba Is Farther From Free.

RuIe-Vote On Bill Next Monday.
Washington. Feb. 19.-It was agreed
by the senate yesterday that a final
vote on the Philippine tariff bill and
the pending amendments should be
taken next Monday afternoon at
o'clock. The only stipulation made by
the minority was that the last days
debate should be devoted to speeches
not exceeding Is minutes in duration.
Mr.. Wellington (Rep), of Mary
land, took the floor to discuss the
Philippine tariff bill, and at once
launched into an attack upon the ad-
ministration's attitude toward Cuba
and the Philippines. He said he had
always been Republican, but when
his party began policy of imperial
ism, to which he was opposed, he
could not bow to the fetish of party.
From that moment his opposition be-
gan. In denouncing the concentra-
ton camps in the Philippines, Mr..
Wellington declared that the United
States today found itself in the same
| position as Spain occupied in reference
to Cuba, when this country declared
war against the barbarities of Wey-
Ter.
How was this method seized
upon?" he shouted. 1T is a method
that brought down the condemnation
OF civilization then as it does now Is
Uncle Sam to be known as Butcher
Weyler II? Why is Cuba not free &C
cording to our promises? Because
there is a desire to rob the island un-
der a cloak of military rule. The
island is further from independence
than when under Spanish rule"
He declared that when MS vote was
sought by President Mckinley upon
the treaty of Paris he was promised,
in response to his firm demand, that
there would be no permanent occupa-
u by the United States of the Phil
es. Was that promise kept?"

Referring to the Philippine tariff
