Gave Himself AWAY.

The late Gen. Cassius NJ. Clay was
a graduate of Yale, a member of the
class of 1892. Sometimes he would
tell of a rebuke that he once gave TIC
an impertinent classmate- He was
sitting in his room, writing a letter
TO young girl. Three or four of his
friends were with him. One youth,
who pretended to be absorbed in a
book;.was slYly reading the somewhat
ardent sentences that flowed from
the Kentucky students pen, Clay
suddenly became aware of this inn
propriety, but he made no sign. Only
he wrote in his letter:
Il would be more frank than | am
-Iwould say more than this-but
there is an impudent cad looking over
my shoulder, reading every word I
write,
The youth referred to in that way
leaped to his feet.
CLAY" he said. you are a liar.
I havn.t been looking over your
shoulder, and I havn't read a syllable
of your internal letter.

states attorney has decided 10 bring
suit against Herr Htrden, editor Of Die
kukunft. before a bench Of five judges,
This decision apparently is due to the
widespread opinion that General Count
Kuno Won Moltke was hardly dealt with
II last weeks trial Of the suit for libel
against Her Harden. II also denotes 4
complete reversal OF the attitude Of the
states attorney. who originally had re-
fused TO bring SUIT against Herr Harden
at General ven Moltkes instance. leas-
ing the latter to take private action on
his own account
The Frankfurter Zeitung says that
the public prosecutor, acting on an an
onymous denunciation, Is taking pre-.
lirninary informatory proceedings against
Prince Philip w Eulenburg and three
exalted ex.army officers for offences
against paragraph IT'S OF the penal code.
The action Is regarded as the direct Sc
quel Of the defamation case Of Count
kuno Won Moltke against Macmillan
Harden, editor Of the Die Zukunft, which
resulted in a victory for Harden.
The states attorney later explained
his action as follows; won Moltke
had no adequate opportunity
OF the recent trial to clear himself OF
Herr Harden's charges. Hence the states
attorney thinks It necessary to insti.
tute new proceedings and fully clear MP
the matter from all standpointsp
