Appea,ed TO the Crown Prince.

Berlin, July l3.-While the Grown
Prince was riding from Potsdam at the
head OF his guards, today, an elegantly
dressed young lady, carrying baby,
threw herself before his highness's horse.
The Prince was disturbed for a moment,
then dismounted aud asked the young
woman what she desired. She said she
was an officers orphan, and that promi-
nent courtier had betrayed and then de-
serted her, leaving her alone and dishon.
ored. She besought the Prince to compel
the courtier to marry her. Prince Fred
erick William promised TO report the
case to the Kaiser. In the meantime ne
placed the petitioner under the protec-
ton of the chaplain's wife.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY IS. 1904

Ir WAS uppOsed-certainly hoped
that after Mr.. w. J. Bryan's course at
the St. Louis convention that his democ-
racy would henceforth be as Caesar 5
wife. but like the traditional COW that
welded the tub of milk and then kicked
il over, the Nebraskan seemingly can
not help manifesting his resentment to-
ward the nominee of the convention, as
we'll as the majority of that gathering
whoSleemed it unwise to insert a finance
plank in the platform. His utterances
at his home in Lincoln yesterday were
not in accord with his course at St.
Louis, nor do they fulfill the hopes OF a
large percentage of his friends. The
Nebraskan is seemingly unreconciled 10
Judge Parker and, according to Mr.
Bryap's intimations, the democratic
party has but little more to expect from
him on certain issues than from Mr.
Roosevelt. While Mr.. Bryan speaks
thus Of the candidate, he asserts that he
will support the ticket, but fails to
realize that his injudiciOus utterances
about plutocracy, labor issues and other
matters months before the election, Will
do the democratic cause no good. Inc
influence Mr.. Bryan sways is likely 10
cause lethargy among some oil his iol-
lowers ia the democratic ranks should
he continue to make himself heard on
similar lines during the present cam
paign. The democratic party IS now
reunited aud is presenting a solid 'front.'
and there is every reason to believe that
a Waterloo awaits ROoseveltism next
November. The democrats should
lay aside all divergences concerning
tariff. free silver or anything else, and
vote solidly for Parker and Davis, who
if elected, will do all that can be ex-
pected of them by the party placing
them in power.

PROFESSOR HARNACK, OF the Uni

checked Protestant Germany with his
radical utterances on theological subjects,
now brings out a new and startling de-
claration in regard to the construction and
origin of the Lords Prayer. He says that
a summary of all the data in the matter
iustifes the conclusion that the prayer
read originally: "Father The bread for
the coming day give us this day and for

BARELY TWO years ago untold Anxiety
and no little suffering were caused
throughout most of the country by the
PENNSYLVANIA coal miners. Coal was ad-
vance to such figures that it was simply
beyond the reach of many persons, ana
those who were compelled to procure this
necessity were compelled in some OF the
large cities to pay as high as fifty cents
q bucket for it. As is usual in such cases,
the consumers, who had nothing to do
with that historical conflict between capt.
tal and labor, were the sufferers. Inc
effects of that struggle are still apparent
Coal never has come down to the figures
Drevailing a short time before that
strike And now, almost in the wake
of that unhappy experience a striKe
of 80, 600 operative in western ana
New York packing bouses has sent
meat up five cents a pound within
twenty -four hours. As in the hrst case
cited the consumer had nothing to do
with causing the friction between employ
ers and employees-they knew nothing
about the issues involved-but are again
the innocent victims. This is serious
state of affairs, and no one can say how
grave they may become before the vexa-
tons attending the strike may cease
Meat, is in a sense, necessary OF llic'
especially to working men, while 1t Is
cruel to all classes to compel them to
forgo:its use at the caprices of people
who are ever looking for some reason to
quit tbeT employment

Reported Denied.

Esopus, n. Y, July 13.-The report
in a New York morning paper that
Judge Parker knew the gold plank was
out of the original platform at st. Louis
on Friday evening because it was pub
Iished in the Kingston Freeman, is
denied here 1t is said Parker did not
take that paper, and did not see it, and
did not know the gold plank had been
stricken from the platform until aft er
breakfast the next morning, when the
famous ultimatum was sent to Sheehan.
Ii Judge Parker actually runs his own
campaign, as he gives every evidence Of
doing, thus far, it is certain that Mr.
Sheehan can have the craftsmanship OF
national committee or be candidate for
Governor of New York. 1t is learned
today that William r. Hearst has placed
his pauers at the disposal of Judge
Parker's candidacy and will from this
time forth advocate strenuously the cleo
ton of the regular nominee. Grover
Cleveland will probably deliver one adj
dress. That Mr.. Bryan will enter into
the Parker end the presidential effort is
extremely doubtful. Up to date no word
of congratulation from the Nebraskan
has been received nor has Tammany
leader Murphy expressed joy over the St.
Louis occurrences.
While Mr.. Sheehan is in New York
the date of the meeting Of the national
committee will be fixed and Judge Park
er will be warned of the formal notiica-
ton. It's intimated that the notification
will not take place until after President
Roosevelt has been similarly aPprised by
the republican committee.

Town Wiped out by Fire.

Fire nearly wiped out the business
section of Millington, Md, last night.
The town hall, the postoffice, two hotels,
four of the largest stores, and other

fire company could not cope with the

Del. which sent several engines, but
these arrived too late. A driving rain
storm set in during the confagration
and handicapped the fremen, but had
little apparent effect on the flames.
The loss is estimated at about 5000, 600.

Mr.. Gompers Makes a Speech.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 13--Samuel
Gompers, presidentof the American Con-
federation of Labor, came to Milwaukee
Yesterday to address the national conven-
tons of the International Longshoremen
Marine and Transport association, and
the International Alliance of Theatrical
Stage Employees, both Of which are be-
ing held in Milwaukee. He said: "The
time has passed in America when lot
of capitalists can get together and say
that they do no propose to recognize
labor unions. do not think that any
QUE will assert that the price of meats
has been reduced so that it becomes
necessary to reduce the packers en-
ployees' wages. We know that they
have gotten rid of the middle man in the
meat trades. We know that they have
introduced marvellous system Of econ
omy and every little scrap is saved 10
every beef, sheep, calfor hog that is kill
ed. It is more than probable that the
explanation will be that the fight Is made
against unionism rather than on account
OF inability to grant the raise asked"
