his eoth birthday in exceedingly char
acteriS;ic fashion. Not long ago at a
sitting of the Austrian Diet, he re-
marked genially that the workmen who
took part in the socialist May day cele-
bration were a lot Of rascals. The
socialists. naturally. were displeased
and when they heard that Dr. Lueger's
anti-Semitic of Christian socialists in
tended to do him honor on his birthday
with torchlight procession, they re-
solved to take part in the proceedings
and do what they could to spoil Them
BOTH sides were ready for a free fight
ana a riot seemed imminent, when the
police interfered and announced that
no procession would be allowed to take

the social democracy, and thus given
proof Of shameful cowardice." The
motion was carried ard DR.. Lueger de-
