New Head of Emperor's War once
VIII Reform All Branches of

Correct All Abuses.

Special interest attaches to the kais-
er's new minister OF war, Gen. Won
Einem- Rothmaler, for the reason that,
after Emperor William, it Is he who will
be responsible for Germany's military
policy, should one of the several war
clouds burst which are now hoyering
over Europe. Apart from the new min
lister of wars own striking personality,

Of Emperor Williams determination to
surround himself With young blood.
Gen. Kari Won Einem- Rothmaler Is
the first man in the history of the Ger
man army TO reach the war ministry
portfolio at years of age. All his pred
ecessors have been veteran soldiers,
and the vast Teutonic army war ma
chine has been run on gray-haired lines.
During the last few years the kaiser has
shown a decided tendency to rejuvenate
every important administrative depart
ment of his government by putting in
comparatively young men-men of his
approximate age-as heads. Thus he
called the 45-year-Old baron Won bheln-
baben to be minister Of finance in the
Prussian cabinet; then Gen. Budde, AS
years old, to be minister of railways and
public works, and now 50-year Lieut..
Gen. Won Einem to be minister of war.
Germanys military organization for
many years has left little to be desired
from the standpoint of efficiency. Yet
the prediction Is made that the young
blood" which the kaiser has called into
the executive service of the army will so
manifest itself in the form of improve
ments and betterments all along the
line. Traditions are to give way to
modern ideas wherever opportunity Of

Young Koko is being strictly
brought up as to discipline and diet,
eating at regular intervals.
His favorite spot in the house is a

MIR. NEWHOUSE.

After more than year of doubt and
mystery concerning the whereabouts of
young Charles H. Newhouse, the cattle
dealer from Culpeper county who dis
appeared in Baltimore on Christmas
morning of 1901, during which period
many reports have been circulated, but
at only one time has there been any
thing like positive information to be had,
adyices have been received from Johan-
nesburg, South Africa, which sets all
doubts as 10 his present location at rest.
Under date of December 3 last Hon.
William b. Gordon, United States con-
sular agent at johannesburg, writes and
sets the question at rest. In his letter
Mr.. Gordon states that he has seen young
Newhouse upon several occasions since
he arrived in johannesburg. He further
states that the young man is apparently
enjoying good health.
Despite the fact that more than a
year has elapsed since the young man
disappeared, after alighting from car
in Baltimore presumably to go to the
Howard House, where he was registered,
nothing definite has ever been learned
of his movements, although his family
sometime since received word that he
had reached johannesburg, after some
hard experiences. Then he seemed to
sink out of sight again and to remain a
young man of mystery until the present
advice that he is still in johannesburg
and in good health.

CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL Assoc1A'
TIoN.-Gen. Clement A. Evans, presi-
dent of the Confederate Memorial Asso-
ciation, has issued a circular in which
he says
"The board of directors of the Con-
federate Memorial Association takes
pleasure in announcing the election of
DR.. J. VIM. Jones as superintendent and
secretary. We feel assured that no
wiser selection could have been made.
The well-known identification of DR..
Jones with all of the great movements
for the promotion of Confederate in
terests, has given him a warm place IN
the affections of the people of the South.
We are very hopeful of pushing our
great enterprise to an early completion,
and of erecting in Richmond, the old
capital of the Corfederacy, beautiful
Memorial Hall, which will be an endur-
ing monument TO orr great leaders, our
private soldiers and the heroic struggle
we made for constitutional freedom.
And we propose to endow the association
with at least 500, 900, and we bespeak
for this cause the warm sympathies and
active help of our. comrades and the
friends of the Confederate cause every
where"
Remittance may be made to DIR. j.,

PRISONERS LIBERATED.

Some time during Sunday night Miss
Eta Aldridge, daughter of the sheriff Of
Blunt county, Ala, unlocked the Jail
and liberated two prisoners, Louis Cur
ley, charged with muIder, and Mayburn
Murphree, held on sentence for minor
offense. The girl accompanied the
prisoners in their fight, or at least one Of
them. The causesof iher act is supposed
to be love for Mayburn Murphree, WI o
is an exceedingly handsome youEg man
Of good address. For some months he
had been an inmate of the Jail, and it had
been noticed that the comely daughter OF
the sheriff often fingered at the bars to
talk to him. On Sunday night the
sheriff was away in the country on bust
ness. His daughter, Miss Eta, had
charge of the keys. She retired Sunday
night as usual 70 sleep with younger
sister. About o'clock yesterday morn
ing the little girl awoke, and missing her
sister Eta, gave the alarm.
Investigation showed that two of the
tour prisoners in the Jail had escaped.
Miss Eta was not to be found, and then
The full significance of the conversation
through the bars with Mayburn Murphree
became apparent.
Louis Gurley, charged with murder,
Who was the beneficiary of the girls
ove for Murphree, is accused of one of
the most brutal crimes in the history of
Oneonta. About a year ago the dead
oody of an aged woman, Mrs. Vaughan,
vas found at her residence one morning.
The head had been scalpedand the body
bore evidence of brutal mutilation.
Charged with her murder, Gurley was
arrested and his case is pending trial.
Mayburn Murphree, the attractive
prisoner. who seems to have bewitched
the fair Keeper of the Jail, had already
been convicted and fined 500. His
Ease was appealed to the Supreme Court,
where it is now pending. Miss Eta
Eldridge is twenty-five years of age and
handsome woman. She has borne an
excellent reputation and enjoyed the
admiration of large circle of acquain-
tances. 1t is thought that Murphree
and the girl are making for some place
where they can get married and then go
to Texas. There were four prisoners in
the jail at the time of the escape, but
Murphree and Gurley departed 50
quietly that the other two were not
aroused. The fugitives also took the
precaution to lock the outside door after
escaping, thus holding the other two
prisoners within.

NO LANGUAGE OF THEIR OWN.
Swiss Are the Only People Who Cam not Boast g Tongue That Is
 Distinctive.

Among the peoples of the world the Swiss are alone in having no language they can call their own, says the Chica- go Chronicle. According to a recent visitor to the little country, about three-fourths of the people of Switzer- land speak German, while the remain der divide four other languages among them, mainly French and Italian, the languages varying as a rule according to the proximity of the people to each country whosetongue they speak. Pub lie documents and notices are printed in both French and German.
 Tn the Swiss congress or national parliament the members make their speeches either in French or German, for nearly all the members understand both languages. The orders of the president are translated by an official interpreter and furnished to the news papers in both languages. Probably it would puzzle even Macaulay's learned schoolboy to name the presi- dent of the Swiss republic. He is M. Adolf Deucher, a name that will be strange to many even of those who are familiar with the names and titles of every other European ruler.
