Berlin special: The kaiser. who ever
since his meeting with the car at Wies-
baden has let no opportunity slip by TO
show his friendship for Russia, shortly
before his departure not only sent a per-
sonal letter to the czar, but even ordered
Colonel Won Schenck, the commander of
the Emperor Alexander regiment. to go
to St. Petersburg to study the uniforms
Of the Russian infantry.
AS a compliment to the czar 1t has now
been decided TO abolish the present uni
form Of the regiment and adopt new uni
forms for both officers and men after
Russian pattern.
Even the swords of the officers will be
an exact copy of those used by the Rus
sian officers of the guard. and Colonel
Won Schenck Will bring samples of these
back with him from Russia.
The socialists promise to make 1t very
unpleasant for General Won Einem when
the affair is brought up before the Reichs-
tag.
1t Is by no means a pleasure to be min
lister of war under Kaiser Wilhelm.
Protestants Protest.
The repeal of the law against the Jes-
uits. which again opens the country to
these fanatic workers of the Catholic
church. has stirred up the Protestants all
over Germany and several Of the states
as well as the free city of Lubbock are
making energetic protests against their
admission.
It is a general complaint that wherever
the Catholic clergy possess any influence
the population is being kept In ignorance
and educational work is delayed.
From a village near Munich comes a
report which seems to show that the
priests even assist in spreading supersti-
ton among the peasants.

the village and was received by a peasant
who had called him because he wanted
him to drive evil spirits out of his COWS,
which he said were bewitched.
Instead Of enlightening the peasant OF
his mistake the priest accompanied him
to his farm. muInbled mysterious form
ulas over the possessed cattle, pocketed
I his money and returned to the city.
It is not known whether the evil spirits
: left the cattle, but the press Is exceed
inly bitter against the clergy who thus
confirm the lower classes in this kind OF
medieval superstition.
The return Of the Jesuits is sure to cause
serious disturbances in many parts CT
Germany, where their departure was felt
as q relief.
Earned Fortune in America.
A Hungarian farmer. Michael Szepelan.
who a few weeks ago arrived in Hamburg

small fortune on q farm in one of the
western states, has been murdered near
his old home in Hungary.
Overtaken by a snowstorm near his ma,
tive village. he was forced to spend the
light In a wayside inn.
In his JOY at being so near home WITH
money enough to spend the rest of his
days III comfort he treated the other
guests to as many drinks as they would
have and displayed a large roll of Ameri.
can dollars.
When he started out at daybreak the
next morning he was attacked from be
hind by a laborer. Andreas Hanko. who
killed him and robbed him of his money
leaving his body in plain sight on the
road, where it was found while still ..ar1n
Hanko was caught the same day. wher
he tried to dispose of part of the Ameri
can money.

Still less favorable are the reports from
Vienna and Rome. where the mortality |

In st. Petersburg 1t Is even 23.1.
This Is undoubtedly due to the strict en-
forcement of tenement and factory law
