Come. out for soc,arI.m.

Rev. R. J. Campbell, the famous dt- vine who is almost as we'll known in America as here has shocked London by coming out openly in favor of social ism at mass meeting in the Alex andra Theatre.
 We now have a demonstration of in- ternational consciousness for the first time in the history of the world" he said, and if unfortunately it comes to pass that we have a great railway strike, think we shall find the work : men of Germany. France and the Uni ted States will show an interest in the English workman in some practical form.
 You have been told that Socialism is anti Christian" he added q deny that and deny that 1t is atheistic and ma terialistic, or that it stands for free love and the breaking up of family life, that it will lead to the destruction of property and the maintenance of the idle and vicious at the expense of the thrifty.
 Socialism starts with the assumption that whatever is right is practical to do. I wills admit that there have been Socialists who preached the doctrine of free love, but I would point out that the doctrine has been preached by

IS EMPEROR WILLIAM ILL? Considerable Anxiety Is
 Felt. LOOKS PALE AND CAREW0RN The Kaiser's Physicians Say He Has Throat Trouble. xx Is Relieved That Emperor William win Shortly Take a Long so- tourn on The Island of
 Corfu.
LOOKS PALE AND cAREWoRN
BY WALTER pUNKrRK.

Berlin, Nov. 1e-The fact that the Kaiser hes decided to spend some weeks" In the Island of Wight. at "a time when his presence at home Is of great importance in view of the coming opening of the Reichstag, has created considerable anxiety here as it is fear ed that the health of the Emperor, is not at all as satisfactory. as the of- icial press makes it appear to be.
 Since the harden trial Emperor Will liam has been seen in public but very little and those who have seen him agree that he looks pallid and care- worn, and that he frequently carries his hand to his throat as he did be- fore he was forced to submit to an op- eration for the removal of a growth which threatened to deprive him of his voice.
 Even the Kaiser's own physicians ad- init that their patients throat Is af- fected. but declare that 1t Is nothing more than a slight catarrh. People here refuse to believe that. and as the cli- mate of England Is anything but favor able to persons suffering with catarrh. it Is said that the Kaiser goes to Eng land. because he refused to postpone his trip. and that his few weeks" on the Isle of Wight are forerunner of q longer soiourn on the Island of Corfu. or a Mediterranean cruise.
 xA8t AA1C A6Ct tAAaL lhC AdAlou0 oPON~ saIist In throat diseases. Professor E'raenkel, of the University of Berlin, was huriediv called to the Imperial Palace about a week ago. to show that everything is not as well with the Kali ser as might be wished.
 German Press Pessimistic.
 The German press in general is very unfavorable in It's comments upon the recent financial panic in the United States and declares that the worst is yet to come.
 The concensus of opinion seems to be that a currency reform taking away from the national banks the power to issue paper money and vesting that power in the government alone Is the only way out of the difficulty and there are even those who predict a revolution unless tIl-- Is done.
 The papers described the American Bank Quagmire." and sharply condemn the reckless speculation of American Ananciers.

Brave nnd Clever.

Prince Dabro. the young Egyptian who has come to America to study the cotton industry, said in New York the other day.
 While we produce superb cotton in Egypt, the industry is not regulated there with such wisdom as you em- ploy. Clever indeed is the conduct of your American cotton industry-as clever as the conduct of a young Penn sylvania undergraduate whom heard about the other day.

WATCHING DRUCE VAULT Case May Be Famous
 in England, CONTENTS OF A COFFIN If It Is Filled With Lead, Claimant
 Wins. Rev. ,. R. Campbell Announce. His Adherence To Socialism And
 Lord Roseberry Discusses
 The Subject.
BY ROBERT BRoDERrCK.

London, Nov. 16.-The Druce case is likely to prove as interesting as the famous Tichborne case of years ago and both the Duke of Portland and the former claimant of the vast Portland estates, T, Druce, who Is now accused of perjury, are doubling the guards which nightly watch the burial vault at Highgate where the late T. c. Druce who 1t is alleged was really the fifth Duke of Portland. was supposed to have bsen buried.
 The present claimant, George Hol- lamby Druce, is a very unassuming man, but how good his claim to the title and estates is considered to he is shown by the fact that the five dollars shares in Druce limited have jumped up to twenty dollars.
 These shares are held by few stock : holders and the brothers, John and Charles Crickmer. who are relatives of the Miss Crickmer; whom the eccentric fifth Duke is supposed to have married in his other character as T. c. Druce, has not disguised from his friends the fact that he is anxious about the case.
 If the present claimant can get the grave at Highgate opened and 1t is found that the coffin is full of lead he will have practically won his case and the five dollar shares in Druce Limited will be worth anything from $500 up wards.
