EMBASSY TO ESPOUSE

American Citizen Illegally Impris-
oned in Germany.

1t is said that the case of Ferdinand
Holzendorf, the German American citi-
zen who was imprisoned at Berlin, in
been referred to the American embassy
at Berlin for consideration The COM
plant Of Mr.. Holzendorf against the
German government was brought to the
attention of Secretary of State Hay and
the local courts about a year ago. r.
S. Tharin. counsel for Mr.. Holzendorf,
called at the State Department and re-
quested that the United States Govern
ment should institute proceedings
against Germany on behalf of Mr.. Hol-
zendorf to recover $500, 900 as damages
for false arrest and imprisonment The
request, it is said. was refused by the
State Department, and then proceedings
were instituted IN the Supreme Court of
the District to compel Secretary of
State Hay to institute the necessary
proceedings.
The proceedings were in the form OF
a petition for a writ of mandamus The
Justice Hagner, presiding in the equity
branch of the District Supreme Court.
After hearing argument of the ques-
lions involved. the court denied the pc
tition for the writ Mr. Tharin took an
appeal TO the Court OF Appeals for the
District. and this tribunal affirmed the
ruling of the lower court.
There the matter rested for some time
when Mr.. Tharin again applied TO Sec
rotary Hay for relief for his client In
response to this request, as already
stated. Mr.. Tharin says the Secretary of
State has referred the matter to the
American embassy at Berlin. In speak
Ing of the matter. MI. Tharin said:
THE German Emperor is by no means
slow TO demand and enforce from re
publics indemnity for similar acts of
oppression, as IN the case of his sub
ject, Mr.. Luders, in 1897. Mr. Luders
was a merchant at Port au Prince. in
Haiti. whose unlawful detention was re-
dressed by the Kaiser, who dispatched
his man of war, the Nike. and at the
cannon's mouth. collected $4,000 per
day for the full time of the unlawful
detention
VIII the Emperor of Germany say 10
the United States that the liberty and
rights of a citizen of this country are
OF less value than those OF d German
subject? VIII he venture to say that an
empire has rights which a republic has
not?
1T is neither absurd nor egotistical
to say that an American citizen has
rights which a foreign autocrat is bound
to respect. Nay, more! The Emperor
himself has no rights superior to those
of an American citizen"

BAMBERG'S OPPORTUNITY.

Even as in the lives of men, do golden
opportunities come in the lives of many
towns In some mems lives the opportune
moment presents itself when manhoOds
bloom is yet unprotected; the young man
with a young mans natural ambition
seizes his chance, makes the best oft, anu
is consequently successful. So now 1t IS
with Bamberg, young town just IN the
bloom of young manhood, this chance is
even now presenting itself, and we be-
lieye from all appearances that Bamberg
will not let her chance for development in
all lines pass by unheeded.
With new graded school building to
be built, and the sanitary conditions OF
the town in a comparatively good condi-
ton, will come new residents, and with
an increase of inhabitants will come an
increase of trade; thus will we grow and
expand But without system of water
works how can we hope that our new
residents will be willing to invest their
money in buildings which will grace our
thriving town? For no one is willing to
invest his money unless he has some guar
antee that it will be protected. So let our
new city council have as their first pur-
pose the establishment of a system of
waterworks.
Our council which is going out has done
good and lasting work in the matter of
establishing good roads in and about our
town; they have brought trade to our
town by this work. Now let it be the aim
of the incoming council to keep this up
and to make people stay here permanently
by making other material Improvements.
We cannot invite people to invest un-
less we have some protection to offer in
return. Now is Bamberg's opportune
time. She will either grow or decay from
now on, and it may be as the citizens of
the town wish. Which will it be, growth
or decay? CONTRIBUTED.

EHRHARDT, May 10.-A small crowd
from our little town enjoyed fish fry at
EowelPs old mill last Wednesday. There
was quite an abundance of fish for dinner
and very nice lot of trout were brought
home.

town, Bamberg, spent day and night In
Ehrhardt last week, the guest of A. T..

By order of the town council, c. Ehr-
hardt, intendant, has built on his lot next
to the old stand of the Ehrhardt Millinery
Co., nice beef market of four separate
rooms or divisions. One of these rooms
will be rented to any one who wishes to
sch beef or any other marketable produce.
John Kearse, negro man of notoriety,
went into the room of Messrs. Edwin
and John Frank Chassereau while they
were at supper Saturday night and helped
himself to several articles of some value.
He was caught right away after supper,
and put in the guard house with chains
about his feet, which were locked to the
floor. 1t was thought that he was secure.
Some friends put something through the
iron bars to him and this morning it was
found that he had priced the chains up
from the floor, knocked off board, and
made his escape He must have gotten
away with difficulty, as he had to walk
with the two large chains locked about
his ankles. The guard house is some dis
tance from any residence or place Of busi-
ness, which is the reason that no one
heard the noise that he must have made
in effecting his escape.
