German Cabinet AuaInet Luxnrv.

Berlin, Ger,--A cabinet order direct
ed against the habits of luxurious
living that prevail in the officers corps
at Hanover was issued recently.
This order marks another step by
Emperor William, acting as king of
Prussia, to compel greater simplicity
of living on the part of officers of the
army. His majesty believes an easy
life has a softening effect on the men
and units them for campaigning, and
that the growing scale of luxury in
the army tends to keep comparatively
poor men from becoming officers.
There are at present nearly 500 va
cancies for officers in the German
army.
Only the general terms of this order
are known. 1t refers particularly to
the entertainments gwen by officers at
the messes and requires colonels to
check all forms of luxurious living

Palermo-Hundreds of persons were
wounded Sunday in a clash between
the police and crowds that were DEM
onstrating in behalf of Nunzio Nazi,
the ex-minister of public instruction,
now under arrest for embezzlement.
The rioters stoned the police, who re-
piled with volleys from their revolv-
ers. Elaborate measures have been
taken to secure order, which included
the mounting of artillery in the streets
and the concentration of battleships
in the roadstead.

An old lady met a neighbor in the

about a recent bereavement. Yes,
she said, our Bill died last week.
That's five out of seven gone, and now
there's only me and old Joe left.
Then she added, pathetically: only
two left. suppose | shall be the

Washington-A profound sensation
was caused here by the claim set up
by Vespasian Warner, the commits
sioner of pensions, that his step
mother is not entitled to share equal
ly in his fathers estate because she
is of negro descent.
Even the most intimate social
Warmer uvi Z KIitsw- -rruru1u5 ttuuuc' trTrs
remarkable case, and the action of
Commissioner Warner was a complete
surprise to them.
This development is likely to jeop-
ardize the official position of Commits
sioner Warner and his retirement
from the public service is expected.
Commissioner warner is severely
criticised for his action in exposing the
family skelton, especially as he is a
rich man in his own right, and hav-
ing control of a fortune larger than
the one left by his father.
Warmers relationships are rather
curious. He is the brother-in-law of
his own son, and the commissioners
wife is the sister-in-law and the step
mother-in-law of his son.
Commissioner Warner has been mar
ried twice. He had several children
by his first wife He and his son mar
ried sisters, Young Warner is the
son of his father; he is the brother
in-law of his father, and a stepson Of
his fathers wife
Another curious feature of Warmers
married life is that after he had been
married the second time the father
of his first wife died and left fortune
aggregating several million dollars. He
bequeathed large portion to Warner
and left the remainder of it to his
grandchildren, the daughters and sons
of Commissioner Warner.
The entire estate was turned over
to Warner to be administered by him
in his discretion, and so much con-
fldenCe did his former father-in-law
have in Warner that no bond was re-
quired.
In addition to this, Warner is a
rich man in his own right
He has not been prominent socially
here, but has entertained in a modest
manner. He served in the civil war
with distinction. He served in con-
gress from 1896 to 1903, when he was
a leading candidate for the guberna-
torial nomination in Illinois. He was
beaten after a bitter fight.

Association.

If the future of the association organ
lied in this county on Friday evening
last to look after the interests Of those
who enjoy fishing and hunting is as
bright as its beginning it will be one OF
the most useful organizations in the
county. The gathering was even more
of success than had been hoped for by
the most enthusiastic member of the
committee having the arrangements in
charge. A large tent was erected on
the lot just south of the Wildermuth,
temporary tables placed and fish and
soap supper served to over 200 mem =
bers. 1t was one of the finest spreads
of the kind ever served in the county.
At the business session, Alton Rundell,

Sergeant, Vernon, vice president; A. A.
Crawford, Owosso, secretary and treas
urer; executive committee, F. L. John
s)n. Corunna, John Sweet, Laingsburg,
T. A. Lawrie, Byron, d. w. Middleton,
New Haven. The report of the commit.
tee to draft constitution and bylaws
was read and accepted. The objects
were set forth very clearly, the main
ones being to have all game laws en-
forced, to plant fish in the streams
about the county, and to bring about
an understanding between hunter and
property owner 80 that the rights of
each may be respected. The associa-
tion will also make an effort to have
proper fish ladders placed in all dams
between Saginaw and Byron. Henry
F. Shellenbarger, Of this city, was en-
dorsed for an appointment as deputy
state game warden.
After the banquet, toasts were re-.
sponded to by several gentlemen, Geo. B.

feature was greatly enjoyed by all
present. Former State Game Warden,

made the principal talk of the evening.
