BAKERS IN GERMANY.
Why They Are More Ho@orcd
There Than ElSepherc.

Bakers appear to receive more public recogni-
Zion in Germany than IN this country. They
have guilds of great antiquity and halls Of their
own In some towns bells are rung every year
in their honor. On the records OF their guilds
are preserved accounts of deeds of bakers which
have drawn public attention to them and spe-
cial recognition from rulers
Among the stories told of tho bakers is that
Of a Journeyman who Is said to have saved
Vienna from horrible disaster when the city
was beseged by the Turks in 16S3 He was
mixing dough preparatory to the early morning
baking. With the exception of the guards and
the sentnels on the wall, the city was asleep.
AS he thumped and punched his dough he heard
strange sounds beneath his feet Far far away
they seemed in the bowels Of the earth Could
1t be the Turks burrowing there7 He ran Off at
once to the commandment leaving his dough 70
rise at its will, and told him Of the sounds hs
had heard He had guessed correctly. Ths
Turks were laying mines with The intention Of
blowing hole In the wall Owing TO the young
bakers alertness the plan was frustrated

Conn. was in Washington the other day
looking up some patents on corsetS. and
he talked very entertainingly OF his
business He declared, for instance. that
manufacturers are trying to lower the
price of corsets and to improve the cut
and set of that necessary article.
Roughly speaking" he said, the
four big corset companies of the United
States turn out 200.000,000 every year.
We have never been able to estimate
how many corsets the average woman
wears in the course of a year. but these
figures will give you some idea This
is a great business. The manufacturers
orders for years, and have demands for
months and months in advance.

Baron Wattman. II had pictured your

after all, Americans are no different

BY royal decree. issued by King AL
fonso. the Government of Spain will
shortly pay to the Government of the
United States the sum of 100000, to
wipe out an old claim which has been
standing since the year 1884.

Spain has been in the debt Of the United
Safes for the last 30 years.
The decree of the young King OF
Spain was signed Iune 16 last. It au-
thOrizeS the Minister of Finance to pay
to the United States the debt acknowl-
edged by the Convention between Spain
and the United States in 1884. In that
Convention the Spanish Government
promised to pay balance due for dam
ages done to American shipping and
commerce. amounting to 100000
"rials vellon," which is approximately
100000 in American money. Sin in
scriptions of perpetual rentes" The
rentes were to be distributed by the
United States to the claimants. In the
meanwhile interest has been paid in
Paris. amounting to about $4,000 the
year.
About the year 1873 Secretary of
State EvartS sent a note to the Spanish
Government, calling attention to the
fact that the principal was still unpaid.
He cited that the certificates of indebt-
edness had been delivered and the in
terest had been paid more or less regu-
larly up to that time The Convention
of 1884 had provided for a sinking fund
with which to pay off the principal, and
Mr.. Evarts said if that provision had
been carried out properly there would
nave uetil III the SlHhlHS IunQ S9UU,UUU,
or half as much again as the amount Of
the original claim.
1t was "a years ago when Mr.. Evarts
took up the matter with the Spanish
Government. Spain at that time failed
to accept this hint in finance, and only
recently the matter has been taken up
again. with the result that the long
standing debt is at last to be settled in
full. This was one of the first matters
taken up by Senior Pima, the new Span
ish Minister, upon his arrival a few
months ago. and his voluntary action.
which was surprising at first. relieved
this Government of what had begun to
appear to be the necessity of taking the
subject up once more for a final UNDER
standing.
Announcement is made of the en-
gagement of Elihu Root, Jr., eldest son
of Elihu Root. Secretary of State. and
Miss Aida Livingston Stryker. eldest
daughter of President NJ. WoOlsey
Stryker. Of Hamilton College.
Mr. Root was graduated from Hamil-
ton College with the class of 1908, a
Phi Beta Kappa scholar. with distinc-
ton as debater and orator. In 1906
he was graduated from the Harvard
Law School. He was admitted to the
bar in New York State the same year.
and now is practicing in New York City.

SCHAEFER HOLDS TITLE.
Sutton Beaten in Close But
Poor Game by Wizard
Last Night.

Chicago Dec. 3.-Jacob Shaefer re-
tanned the world championship at ISL
oaIk line billiards by defeating George
sutton at Orchestra hall last night in
their second challenge match.
The score was. Schaefer. 500; SUIT
ton. 4s6.
Unlike their match OF last spring
when Schaefer won the ISL title away
from his big rival. the Wizard led prac-
ucally all the way last night, although
sutton made a dangerous looking chal-
lenge just before the finish.
Inc match was a appointment to
INC fair sized crowd which went TO Or
chestra hall Neither man appeared 10
be In good form, and the contest
dragged along without the usual brill
lant features attendant upon meet
ing of two such experts.
Schaefer was the first to get into
something like his stroke. and he was
given every encouragement by the
spectators. who. as usual were heart
and soul in sympathy with the veteran.
This partiality had the same apparent
effect on sutton that it had in their
49, match In November. but even all
lowing for this handicap. the big fellow
did not come up to anything like what
was expected OF him
lie has returned to his old style of
cue tip using the little. pencil pointed
tip for which he became famous when
he first won himself a place among
the top notchers. Until shortly before
the match of last night he had been
trying the broader tip. He showed his
unfamiliarity with the change several
times at critical places
