KAISER WILHELNps COOKS.
From Stray Stories.

Feeding the German Emperor is no
light task. Despite all that is said
about the Kaiser's Spartan habits there
are few monarchs who keep more elab-
crate tables. He has no fewer than
four -Schliedenstucker, a Ger
man; Harding, an Englishman; an
italian and a Frenchman-so that he
can have his meals for the day served
in the style of whatever nation he
may happen to fancy. Each of these
chefs has his staff of assistants, while
IN addition there is an individual who
may safely be described as sausage
maker to the Kaiser" His majesty is
very fond of the huge white frank
furter sausage, and has supply of
them made fresh every day in his own
kitchen. When engaged in maneuver-
ing his army on a big field day these
frankfurters and bread, washed down
with lager beer. invariably from the
Kaiser's luncheon. In addition to all
these cooks there is a special STAR to
prepare meals for the younger OF the
Princes and the Princess, who are not
allowed to partake of the rich dishes
the elder members of the family in
dulge in.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE RAIL
ROADS.


In his annual address before the Ma
tional Association OF Railway Com
missioners at Birmingham on Tuesday
| President John K. Smith took strong
grounds against government owner
ship OF railroads. He said that a po-
liticai party having the right to ap-
point more than a million employees
Of railroads could not only perpetuate
itself in power, but could. in a few
years, build up a monarchy.
There is a good deal of truth in this
statement That the party in power
would use it's patronage to the fullest
extent to retain control of the gov
eminent there is no doubt. The pat
ronage is now used for that purpose.
The Office holders contributed a vast
amount of money in the recent election
to the Republican campaign fund and
did a great deal Of political work.
But it is certain that the railroads
wouldn't be so satisfactory If run by
the government as they are now.
About everyone who has had expert
ence with the government-owned rail-
roads of Europe is emphatic in the
opinion that they do not compare fav-
orably in any respect with the rail-
ways of this country.
But why is 1t that Congress doesn't
take hold of the railroad problem and
ing laws to prevent railroads from
combining? AS a general thing the
combinations are a good thing for the
roads and for the public, except that
they destroy competition. But what
the people want isn't competition so
much as stable and fair rates. Compe-
tition is full of injustice to the public
and is hurtful to the railroads. The
big shippers get the greater part of
the benefit of competition and they
use it to destroy small shippers.
What is wanted is government con-
troll of traffic rates. Let the govern
ment make fair rates and see that they
are maintained, and 1t will not make
any difference to the public to what
extent the railroads combine Not
withstanding the antitrust laws the
railroads go on combining. 1t doesn't
seem as if there we're a disposition
to prevent them from doing so, or else
it is practically impossible to make
laws that will prevent combinations. 1t
is in the power of the government,
however, to regulate rates. If that pow
er is exercised the public win have all
the protection it's wants. 1t will have
the kind of protection it has been seek
ing for a long time. And there will
be no danger to be apprehended from
the evils pointed out by President
Smith

MARRIED. THE FLAGLERs.
From the Chicago Record-Heralt

Louisville, Nov. 14.-To the surprise
Of all members of the church except
the elders, the resignation of Rev. DR..
Peyton N. Hoge as pastor OF the War
rem Memorial Presbyterian Church was
announced to-day. The true reason for
the resignation, 1t is alleged. was that
tho congregation refused 10 become
reconciled to DIR. Hoge's action two
years ago in marrying Henry M. Flag
Ter, the Standard OIL magnate, for
which, It Is said. he received a very
large fee in the form of a present.
After this the congregation refused to
support him, as Flagler's first wife was
said to be insane. The church is the
largest In this part of the country.

Reports of Gen. Kurokis death and
their subsequent denials recall the re-
markable fate of the late Admiral
Ting of the Chinese navy. During
the war between China and Japan
some few years ago the dispatches al
most every day had something to re-
port with respect to the mortuary ant
les of Admiral Ting. One day he
would be blown TO fragments by a
shell, and the next day he would be
well and happy aboard his flagship;
then he would die of cholera and the
following day make a sortie with his
detachment: at another time he would
commit suicide and a day later get
soundly licked by the Japanese. And
thus it went on during almost the en-
tire length of the war. Admiral Ting's
numerous and varying deaths became
a joke among newspaper writer's, and
when he finally committed suicide aft
er the battle of the Yalu, it was weeks
and months before people could be
made to believe it.
