KAlsER's DESIGNS NOT KNOWN.
Statesmen Wonder as to His Attitude
in Controversy.

N controversy.
Emperor Williams visit to Tangier
was characterized at the time as IAN
immense political demonstration"
The demonstration has had, in a dip
lomatic sense, definite results. Ger
many has had her way, and there will
be an international conference on Mo-
rocco. The world is now wondering
what the busy and strenuous kaiser
is after in connection with his second
coup or political demonstration-in
the waters of Sweden.
The Berlin foreign office categoric-
ally denies that there exists. or that
there has been projected, an alliance
between Germany and Sweden. But
the conference with King Oscar and
the naval demonstration scheduled for
July 20 undoubtedly possess practical
significance.
At Stockholm the impression is that
the kaiser has taken sides with Swe-
den in her difficulty with Norway, but
since Sweden, or at least her govern
ment, has no disposition to force Nor
way to remain in the union, and is
willing to let ''the erring sister co.
on terms not incompatible with Scan
dinavian safety, and since Norway
has been eminently reasonable and
conciliatory toward Sweden as to that
aspect of the case. and has offered to
accept all proper conditions dictated
by legitimate interests Of Scandinavia,
no need would seem to have arisen
for the kaiser's patronage and protec-
tion.
Extremists who believe that the
German emperor in view Of Russia's
collapse, dreams of "a Hohenzollern
world-empire" and a general Euro
pean dictatorship will explain coup
No 2 in a very simple way. DR.. Dill
Ion, writing in the Contemporary Re
view, says that Europe will hence
forth be policed and watched over by
Germany" and that "the only contri-
button she will expect from her pro.
teges is that they shall adjust their
foreign policy to her interests" Fur
thermore, England has been very
friendly to democratic Norway, and
the British press has encouraged the
separation movement Germany be-
ing England's rival, and sympathizing
with aristocratic Sweden, the kaiser
has an additional motive for osten-
tatiously befriending the latter nation.
The theory hardly explains all the
facts, however, for not long ago Brit
ish papers argued that Germany
would rejoice to see Scandinavia
weakened and divided, and that she
would not lift her finger to prevent
the dissolution Of the Swedish-Nor-
wegian union. Time will tell what
the emperor's immediate and practical
object is. AS to his unavowed design,
the freedom to speculate is unrestrict

BOY SAVED THE EXPRESS.
Little Fellows Sharp Eyes Prevented
Serious Accident.


Theodore Biedlinger, years old,
whose father is in the postofice serv-
ice and attached to station E, Man
haitian, prevented serious wreck at
New Hyde Park, L. /.
Recently some wheels for farm wag-
ons we're received at the station. They
have tires nine inches wide and the
hubs, spokes and felloes are heavy.
An express bound east rushed past
the depot and the vibration caused one
of the heavy wheels to roll from its
position against the freight house and
along the platform in the wake of the
train, and then out upon the rails,
where it fell. 1t lay so that it was
difficult to see it because of the sta
tion platform. No one saw the mis-:
hap except the boy, who was looking
out of the door. His mother was sit.
ting in the waiting room.
After the train had passed he re.
turned to his mother and told her
that one OF the big wheels had rolled
off the platform. She told him he was
mistaken, but he insisted and said it
was out on the track. Mrs. Biedlinger
finally went out on the platform to
see what the child meant and at once
saw the danger. She first tried to
lift it, but was unable and so called
out Station Agent Ferrant. Less than
a minute after the wheel was removed
the second express went past.

KAISER TALKS WITH KING.
Emperor William Said to Have As

sured Oscar or support.
The rumor is current in European
capitals that the German emperor has
assured King Oscar at Gefe OF his
warmest sympathy and has promised
to support him in restoring the status
quo ante in the dual kingdom.
As a public proof Of his sentiments
the kaiser has made King Oscar
grand marshal of the German feet.
At a Danish cabinet meeting it de-
veloped that the ministers were in full
agreement that Prince Charles of Den
mark should accept the crown OF Nor

A little more than thirty years ago
boy could enter Harvard college and
after four years graduate with the
highest honors without knowing Of
the existence of the declaration of in
dependence or when the constitution
of the United States was framed, says
Henry Cabot Lodge in the Reader
Magazine. What was true of Har-
ward was true of other universities
and colleges. American history was
not included in the scheme of the
higher education. Boys entering col
lege were required to know something
of the history of Greece and Rome.
but not of their own country During
the four years of the college course
they had opportunity to study the his
tory Of England and Europe, but never
to learn aught of the United States.
This condition of education was mere
ly an indication of an attitude of mind
then passing away, but which had once
been predominant. The usual opinion
seems to have been during the first
half Of the nineteenth century that
there was no American history worth
telling, apart from the adventures Of
the revolution, which were both con-
nected so closely with the history Of
Europe that they might be deemed Of
Importance.

MODERN LIFE TOO FAST.
Grave Danger in the Hustiine Habits
Of Americans.


Surgeon General Rixey sounds a
note of warning to the American peo-
pie when he declares that the death
of Secretary Hay and a number Of
other men prominently identified with
the government in recent years is due
to too much work and too little exer-
else. The statement coming from an
authority so high can not be passed
without consideration. The energy
OF the American is one Of the wonders
of the world and there is reason to be-
lieve that persons in private life die
from the cause that has taken so
many public men. The mad pace ap-
pears TO pervade all branches OF so-
ciety, and while some men have the
wisdom to temper their toll with the
necessary exercise they appear to be
the exception rather than the rule

are to live their allotted days they

the American to hustle. evidently one

Confidence in Wall street is at low
ebb, as evidenced by the refusal Of
the public to bite at the bait thrown
to it by promoters, spectators and
financial adventurers. In the good old
days all that was necessary TO sell a
new stock or bond was the indorse-
ment of some alleged reputable bank
ing house. The banking house would
reap the harvest and let the public
hold the bag. But investors have
learned a few things during the last
few years and they are now as wary

where he has succeeded in Matching

sides furnishing thousands Of small

FRAUD ON LIFE COMPANIES.
Scheme Worked Successfully BY Cir

death had for a confederate an elder.
ly man, who passed for her uncle.
Twice in different parts of England
she insured her life in her unele's IA
yor, went into commissions and to all
appearances died. The third time the
game was played with an ingenious
variation. The uncle went to a life
insurance company, explained that he
was in financial straits and wished to
borrow money on his niece's estate.
To compensate for such a loan he
would have to insure her life for its
value, but could not afford to have
this insurance become known. as 1t
would expose his financial condition
and ruin his credit. The company,
therefore. agreed to write the insur-
ance under a bond Of secrecy. AS
usual, the young woman went into
conyulsions and died. Before her
funeral she lay in state for all the
world to see. Her uncle was pros
trated.
He did not try to collect the insur-
ance for some months and when he
did the company paic him in full with
expressions of real sympathy. So did
nine other companies, which he had
silenced by the same ruse. and he
