Washington, Dec. 3l.-An interest
ing question has arisen at the war
department in the case of First
Lieut.. Emil Huebescher, of the Porto
Rico regiment. Huebescher was
granted permission to take examine
tion for appointment as second lieu
tenant in the regular army. Be
tween the date Of his application and
his appearance for examination he
married aAd the question arose as
to the eligibility in view Of the strict
regulations against the appointment
of married men. The law officers of
the war department are now consid-
ering whether Lieut.. Huebescher's
to the regular army
might not be legally considered Q
simple transfer from one branch Of
the army to another, in which event
the question Of marriage would cut
no figure.

Berlin. Dec. sl.--King George Of
eaxony has ordered the prepare ton
Of . full official account Of the elope-
ment Of Crown Princess Louise and
the circumstances leading up to IL
for the Saxons, among whom the
most fantastical stories are in circu-
lation to the detriment Of the royal
people, especially with reference to
the future king. The scandal Is un-
dermining, according TO some opin-
ions. the peoples loyalty and respect
for the throne.
The dynasty being Catholic and the
people Protestant the affair is being
utilized for sectarian controversy.
The kings statement, doubtless, will
affirm that the crown princess sole
reason for eloping was her criminal
relations with Prof. Giron. and that
documentary proofs have been found
showing that the elopement had long
been In preparation. The stories Of
Ill treatment on the part Of her hus-
band, OF oppressive court ceremonial
and Of her fettered existence are
classed as inventions.
The crown princess own account
of the immediate cause Of her fight
from Salisbury says her father, grand
duke Of Tuscany, intended to inn
prison his daughter either in luna
tic asylum or In an italian convent.
He already had consulted the court
physician and several medical au-
thorities In Vienna with the object
Of obtaining certificates warranting
him in shutting her up. Her father,
the crown princess adds, was giving
her no time for deliberation. Ho de-
manded, first that she be taken un-
der guard to Dresden to apologize to
the crown prince, and that she then
choose between confinement in con-
vent or in madhouse. The crown
princess asks the Bavarian court to
use It's inflnence with the court at
Dresden to permit her children TO
choose their vocation in life freely.
Affecting Kings AIind.
Dresden, Dec. S1.-King George has
appointed q special court Of seven
Judges to try the suit for divorce
which the crown prince has decided
70 institute against the crown prin-
,ess.
Prof. Curschmann, Of Leipsic, has
,een called here for consultation
With the court physicians regarding
he kings condition, which gives
much concern to his family. AL
hough diagnosed as influenza, his
najesty's condition has grown stead
" worse during the last few days,
ue to excitement over the elopement
I the crown princess, which, in con-
ection with his great age and weak
ess, has had q depressing effect ON

Humility.

The disease known as "swelled head

What is it but blind and imbicie self.
importance that prompts young men,
who have a world OF usefulness and hon
or before them, to drink intoxicating
liquors, TO swagger, to talk fight. to
smoke cigarettes and to strut? 1t is idi-
otic vanity.
What induces the coxcomb with the
high color aud low brow TO ogle at every
female vampire he meets and imagine
that he is a combination of Don Juan and
Apollo? Pure standardization.
What leads youth from the sweet and
wholesome paths of useful labor to the
haunts of idleness and sin? Simply
swollen and pulrid self admiration.
Humility is positive virtue. 1t is the
beginning of wisdom. 1t has been truly
said that it was pride that first changed
angels into devils; il is humility that
makes men as angels. We must stoop TO
rise. Humility does not mean a grovel-
ing spirit, but is merely the exercise of a
prudent care not to overestimate our
selves. Only the humble can be truly
exalted. Humility is strength, for it is a
recognition of the fact that lofty character
must be built upon solid foundation.
Plutsrch tells us that Epaminodas,
finding himself lifted up on the day Of
his public triumph, the next day went
dropping and hanging his head. Being
asked what was the reason of his so gr. at

therefore chastise myself for it to-day"
Before we can amount to anything, be-
fore we can even begin to fit ourselves
for creditable citizenship of the world, we
must first realize our insigniticance, and
that we can have nothing in us that we
should ask he world even to tolerate,
much less praise, until we have Uuilded
by toll and right action, and proven our
selves to be men who can defy the temp
tations of idleness and sensuality as the
oak deties the tempest and the thunder
bolt.
The true attitude of youth whose fu-
ture promise glorious manhood of USE

with bowed head, hat in hand, ready and
eager to serve,-Punxsutawney Spirit.

WHEN such men as Senator Vest arrive
at the opinion that the one issue that the
Democratic party should make is tariff
smashing the paucity of Democratic cam
paign material becomes apparent. Ever
since Cleveland the party has been noun-
dering hopelessly. 1t has run after Bry-
ansm and has flirted with free silver and
so-called "imperialism," and has even
dsbbled in anarchy. The amusing spects-
Gle is now presented of the party getting
back to the old doctrines and theories of
Grover Cleveland, policies which, when
tried, brought the country to the verge
of disaster. And all that Senator Vest
can recommend in the way of a Demo-
cratic issue is a return to disaster.
