The late Thomas 3. Reeds portrait
was painted by Sargent during the last
year OF his services in Congress. When
1t was brought to him he looked at it
critically. He noted the protruding lips,
the faithful reproduction of his forid
complexion, of his fabby cheeks, of his
ponderous neck. His eyes narrowed be-
tween the lids. and there came cold
CLINT in them. Then, pursuing his lips
as was his wont. he is said to have re-
marked: II hope that my dearest enc

SLOT MACHINES NOT PROTECTED.
PORTLAND (or.), Nov. 30.-In the
case Of John King, tried today in the
United States District Court before
Judge Bellinger, it was decided that it
is no crime to work Skin game" on
a slot machine by feeding it leaden
, balk at the method Of procedure. 1t
was shown that King, by using his
lead slugs, had emptied one machine in
Baker City Of it's cash, and was fast
accommodating money from other ma
chimes when he was detected.
The prosecution couldn't show who
owned the machines, consequently the
court held that it was not known that
any one was being defrauded by the
use of the lead slugs unless it was the
machine. It was held that it was an
essential part of the case to show that
some one was being defrauded. and on
account of this defect the case was de-
clared incomplete.
The jury found the defendant not
guilty without leaving the jury box
Considerable amusement was occasion
ed by the remark of the court that
the machine appeared to have worked
as well with the slugs as with genuine
money, and he didn't think it was be-
ing defrauded.
CALIFORNIA WANTS PENNIES.
WASHINGTON Nov. 3O.-The Treas
ury Department has been astonished
during the past few days by the over
whelming demand from California for
pennies. San Francisco is the loudest
in it's cry. but the orders have also
come from Los Angeles, Sacramento,
partment sent all the pennies available
here, and issued hurry-up orders to the
New Orleans and Philadelphia MINIS,
Chicago and New York Sub-Treasuries,
and even sent pennies from Baltimore.
Preparations are on foot to equip the
Mint at San Francisco with machin-
cry LOT making pennies, something
never done before on account of the
traditional neglect of small coppers by
the Pacific Coast people.
Department officials asked San
Francisco what had caused the sud-
den demand, and the reply was that
the department stores had chopped
prices to odd figures, making the use
of pennies necessary. The approach of
Christmas is also given as a reason
for the demand, though no such cry
went up on the eve of previous holt
days. Treasury people say they are
glad to see pennies working toward
California, and that when once estab-
lished they will stay and prove a
blessing.

MUSICIANS UNEMPLOYED.

NEW YORK, November 3o.-within
the limits of Greater New York hum
dreds Of musicians have been thrown
out of employment in the last few
weeks. They are, for the most part,
the men who played in the orchestras
of theaters, and they are bitter against
the managers who have dispensed with
their services, as well as against some
of the leaders
The loss of employment is due di-
rectly to the amalgamation of two
musical unions that existed I'D to a
short time ago. The walking dele
gates of the amalgamated union Wis
tied every theater in the city and
notified the managers that they would
hereafter have to pay the union rate
of wages, which was s26 a week. The
managers complied with the orders,
, but promptly reduced the size of their
orchestras, in order to equalize the
amount paid for music. In nearly ev-
cry theater in the city from one to two
| musicians have been laid off, and they
| find themselves unable to secure other
employment, as musicians are engaged
in advance for the season.

PEARY AND THE POLE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Among the
passengers who arrived today on the
steamer Philadelphia were Commander
Robert E. Peary, Lieutenant Com
mander William S. Sims, and Lieuten-
ant Surgeon Henry G. Boyer, U. S. N,
who have been inspecting the bar
racks system of British and German
naval stations with a view to deter
mining the advisability of building
similar barracks at our navy yards for
the housing of seamen to take the place
of receiving ships. Commander Peary
said there was no truth in the report
that he had negotiated for the purchase
of ship for his next expedition to the
Polar seas.
Commander Peary said he probably
would leave here in July and try to
reach the north shore of Grantland and
camp there until the coming of spring,
when the dash to the pole will be at
tempted.
II will make the hardest try to reach
the pole that has yet been made. If
can get my ships to the north shore of
Grantland," he said, 81 will answer for
the rest. I am confident that I shall
reach the pole. I am familiar with
conditions, and I have the experience,
I know the road thoroughly, and /
know what / will have to contend with.
Another reason is that / have reached
that stage in my acquaintance with
the Esquimos that can utilize them as
I see fit and distribute them as I de-
sire. If I get to Grantland I am sure
I can attend to the rest. / will also

Commander Peary said that his wife
would not accompany him this time.

TROUBLE HIDDEN.

AT first the return of the complaint
was hidden from the public. Another
operation was performed without the
German people being told of it.
THE surgeon in this case was DR..
Trautmann and the operation was sue-
cessful for time, but the fatigues of
travel and of multiplied occupations
hindered a radical cure Again and
again the malady appeared. and it was
by this malady of the ears that the
throat was attacked. When this new
complication was certain, DR.. Leuthold.
the doctor who had cared for, but not
cured, the Emperor Frederick III, was
called in.
Possibly because of the sad souve-
Mrs connected with DR.. Leuthold and
the year 1888, surgeon physician MoritZ
Schmidt was added to the council, and
it was he who operated upon the En-
peror the first time, two months ago,
an operation that was kept secret.
"One can easily see into the gravity
of the Emperor's condition by reading
between the lines of the present. bulle-
tins. They prescribe an absolute re-
pose, they prescribe the patient from
riding on horseback, from drinking,
from eating spiced food, and, above ALL
from talking. Much has been said of
the subdued tones in which the En-
peror has to speak, but, as a matter
of fact, he has only been able to pro-
nounce a few words in a muffled
voice."

PARIS. Nov. ga remarkable arti-
Gle on the malady of the German En-
peror has appeared in an illustrated
weekly, which greatly adds to the gen.
eral conviction that the Kaiser's con-
dition is more critical than is officially
allowed.
The author of the article has several
times filled positions of confidence in
the German court functions, which re-
quired him to live in the immediate
companionship of the Kaiser when he
was a young Prince. In part the arti-
Gle is as follows:
During the two years when the
young prince was student at Bonn,
that is, ia 1879 and 1880, he felt for the
first time the symptoms of that mall
ady which today causes such general
disquietude throughout Germany.
1.-THE trouble manifested itself in
acute pain of the ears and frequent at
tacks of insomnia. One of the affected
ears became particularly painful and
after several consultations and confer
ences a young surgeon named Walb
was selected to perform the operation
which was judged necessary.
HIS OLD COMPLAINT.
.'The operation was successful for i
time. but the aches in the ears recur-
red at intervals that We're almost regu-
lar, some of the excuses of pain being
so severe that the young man was OBJ
liged to rest several days in bed
Professor Walb was repeatedly call
ed in and then began to talk of in
flammation of the ear, and one knows
what grave symptoms are indicated by
this word. Sometimes it means chronic
meningitis or granular meningitis,
which weakens the hearing and causes
intense pain at the least cold. Some
times complete deafness ensues, espe-
ciaily when there is an internal ca
tarrh.
Acute Inflammation is often marked
by little polypi fringing the exterior
passages of the ears, which sometimes
appear on other delicate membranes.
Such was the complaint which attack
ed the young prince in 1879 and baffled
all the science of Professor Walb
''The evil not only did not disappear,
it was not even checked.
'Then came the accession and death
of Frederick III, with it's consequent
changes of scene and occupation. and
the 1nalady reappeared.
