Mrs. Eliza Longabaugh, relict Of
Henry Longabaugh, died at her home
near North Industry, Saturday evening
about z o'clock from the infirmities of

Not on Good Terms With Kaiser.

With the present Emperor Of Ger
many. as with his predecessors, the
blind old grand duke has long been on
terms the reverse OF friendly. Ever
since 1866 Neu-Strelitz has been known
as center OF everything that is anti
Prussian. In fact, in 1866 the diminu
tive army Of the grand duke. amounting
TO some five regiments. all told. would
have marched in support Of Hanover and
Austria against Prussia had Il not been
for a delay In the contractors delivery
OF the rainproof coverings OF the caps
and shakos OF his officers and soldiers.
BY the time these rainproof coverings
had arrived and been distributed among
the troops the battle Of Langenzalza had
been fought. the King of Hanover driven
to flight and the victory OF Prussia over
Austria assured. So the Grand Duke Of
Mecklenburg- -Strelitz decided that il was
no use taking up a hopeless fight, and
kept his army at home, thereby saving
his throne.
The late Prince Bismarck was regard
ed by the grand duke and by his people
with adherence. all the foes OF the
great chancellor were assured OF a
hearty welcome at Neu-Strelitz, and
many Of the principal Offices at court
are held by intransigeant members OF the
Hanoverian nobility. who have refused
to make their peace with Prussia and
who look for a restoration OF the king
dom of Hanover. Mecklenburg-S -Strelitz
is today the one state OF the German
empire where no notice whatsoever is
taken Of the Emperor's birthday, whose
sovereign has never visited Berlin, and
who avoids all personal and friendly re-
lations with the Kaiser.
Stone blind. infirm. and of late almost
completely bedridden. the grand duke Is
allowed TO have his way both By his
people and By the other states OF the
German confederation. But there is no
doubt that on his death and the acces-
sion to the throne Of his only son. who
bears the Christian name Of Wellington.
as a godson OF the victor of Waterloo,
radical reforms will take place In the
grand duchy both as regards its domes-
tic and it's federal policies.

Prince Henry More Popular.

Perhaps it may be timely to add that
Prince Henry of the Netherlands has
succeeded in living down much of the
unpopularity TO which he was subjected
during the first eighteen months or so
Of his marriage. and which led to the
circulation of all sorts OF fantastic
stories Of most slanderous and
groundless character TO the effect that
he was IN the habit OF ill-treating his
wife and had even mortally wounded
one Of his aides who. It was
said, had endeavored 20 protect her
from his brutality. Gradually the
worthy Hollanders have been able 10
convince themselves that in spite Of all
that has been sad to the contrary, the
marriage of their young Queen is a
very happy one: that her husband is as
devoted to her as she is to him, and
that he has taken immense pains 10
identify himself thoroughly with all the
interests, the views and the preiudices
of the people OF his adopted country.

Holland Again Hopes.

Ihere are great rejoicings in Holland
caused by the semiofFicial announcement
that the recent illness and the delicate
condition Of Queen WiIhelmina arise
from the fact that she once more enter
tains hopes of presenting the nation
with Dutch-born heir to her throne.
whose birth, looked for some time ia
November, will relieve her loyal sub
jects of the dread which they have en-
tertained until now of seeing their
country absorbed by the German empire,
since her death without issue would
bring to the throne of the Netherlands
her cousin. the reigning Grand Duke OF
saXe-Weimar. and, failing him. Prin-
cess Marie Of Reuss, whose sons, like
the grand duke, are Germans of the
most enthusiastically patriotic type.
The young Queen has been advised by
her physician to take the utmost care
OF her health until the happy event
takes place, and as it is imperative that
she should be relieved of all worries and
annoyances, and should likewise enjoy
the benefit of some healthier climate
than Holland. it is probable she will
spend the remainder of the summer and
the early autumn at some quiet resort
either in Germany or in Switzerland She
will only transact the most necessary
and urgent business, and this, thanks
to the telegraphs, telephones and rapid
means of communication of our modern
life, she will be able to do from a dis
tance quite as we'll as If she were IN
Holland. Indeed, there will be no more
need of appointing a regency during her
absence than there was when King Ed
ward visited Italy, Portugal. and France
last spring, or when Emperor Nicholas
makes his periodical stays in Denmark
and az Darmstadt.
