FORETELLS CALAMITIES.

AZ various times in the worlds his
tory prophets have arisen with fore
casts OF calamlties, but perhaps never
in such abundance as at the present
time. And this is one Of the signs
that attract the attention OF those who

THE LADIES IN BERLIN.

The International Council Of Women
has finished us congress ut Berlin
ana the delegates seem to be particular
" charmed with the reception given
them The fact is, that socially, they
have been royalty entertained The
congress has been one brief sweet song
The empress FIRST received the ladies'
most gracously The wife of Count
Won Buelow. the prime minister fol.
lowed suit Then there was a garden
party given by count Posadowsky and
reception by the mayor and city
council OF Berlin, for which no less
than 10000 marks was appropriated
Resides these, there were Innumerable
social functions, teas and fetos II Is
astonishing, IN fact, that the delegates
had the time needed 20 devote TO more
serious affairs.
The closing session OF the congress
was characterized by some criticism.
Count Hoensbroeck thought the dele
gates should not have accepted the i'm
vitatlon from the Chancellors wife, im-
medlalely after the government had de-
cAred against the woman suffrage
amendment to a certain law He main
tanned that this was intended for a
snub, and that the ladies ought to have
declined TO accept the strawberries and
cream that went with IL.
1t would be dinicult to reply satistac-
torily to that criticism Several years
ago, the president Of the Swiss repub-
lie invited the civilized powers of the
world to labor congress at Bern, for
the consideration of the needs of labor
The German emperor caught the idea
ana Issued an invitation for similar
congress az Berlin, and asked the Swiss
president to cancel his invitation This
he courteously did The labor congress
met in the German capital, It was
Toasted and teted, dlned and wmed. Of
ncial functions filled the program, and
an the delegates were In the seventh
heaven, but nothing OF a practical ma.
turc was done for the laborers OF the

It looks very much as n those tactics
had been repeated az Berlin, The Ger.

ON THE CAR PLATFORM.

A recent ruling made by Pennsyl'
vania Judge Is Of interest TO street car
companies. and TO the general pubic
patronizlng tho lines. The suit was
brought at Norristown against the Le-
high Valley Traction Co. for SlOoOo
damages the plaintiff having been IN
jured In a collision between two cars
The defendant claimed that the plain
uff was not entitled 10 compensation
because he remained on the platform
when there were vacant seats inside,
The Jury asked instructions on the
point and the Judge Informed them that
"a passenger who stands on the plat
form assumes not only all the risks or

sltion Unless he can give a valid rea-
son for not sitting in the car the pas

He Was Saving the Country.

Kansas City Journal.
Lawyer W. R. Cline, OF Erie. has
filed a divorce petition in behalf OF
Mrs. Betsy Smith. 1t is different
from the dry-as-dust papers usually
found in such proceedings. as. ior ex-
ample. in this description OF Mr.
Smith:
That for several years prior to
this date defendant became q ire
quenter nf the saloons and spent his
me in loaiing. discussing politics.
whiting dry goods boxes and saving
the government OF the United States
from ruin: that the only neceSsaries
OF life that he was willing TO provide
for plaintiff was water and this mar
ital duty he performed grudgingly,
his whole time being occupied in pre-
pairing for a conflict with the red dra-
gon. the octopus and other monsters
that were breathing destruction ana
devastating the helpless millions OF
American serfs. and so engrossed was
defendant in saving the running gear
OF this government and advocating a
dollar that would be good in Europe
that he took no time to indulge in the
vulgar pursuits OF rustling provender
for the family larder.
That this work was lett solely to
plaintiff. and that she kept the guant
and hungry wolf from the door only
by running her sewing machine from
dawn's early light till the king Of day
had retired to his nights repose In
the western horizon: that plaintiff
has nothing for all these thirty years
work to keep her from want; even
her sewing machine is in the pos
session OF this great financial general,
who is so apt on his dissertations on
finance, per 'capiter' and the mainten-
ance Of the flag in the Philippines;
that this plaintiff is no richer than she
was thirty years ago, when she was
led to the altar by the defendant-ex-
cept in experience-and though she
is broken in health, plaintiff is willing
to take the above asset for her sole
alimony. feeling that it will be easier
to support herself than to provide
longer for defendant.
The plaintiff feels that she ought
to have her sewing machine as se-
minder OF the work that it has per-
formed in the past and as memento
that she was once united in marriage"

Exchange
Naturally, since the Toronto and
Baltimore fces, statesmen OF iireproof
safes have been working overtime.
During the week, two safe salesmen,
representing two different firms, called
simultaneously on local business
man. The first salesman said:
TO demonstrate the quality OF our
safes. it is the custom to put cat in
one Of them. TO lock it, build great
fire around it and to leave it in the
flames twenty-four hours. At the end
of that time we open the safe and the
cat leaps out unharmed.
"Wonderful!" said the merchant.
"WonderfulI
The second salesman spoke up:
We once put cat in safe Of ours
and kept it surrounded by FIRE for a
