The inhabitants Of Breslau, Germany,
have started a fund for the erection of
a monument to Josef Won Eichendorff,
who wrote many German songs of
great popularity. At an entertainment
for the benefit of the fund recently
held at Breslau, Paul Keller related
some anecdotes of the writer. He said
that the well known song, I'm einem
kuhlen Grunde,'' was sent in its origi-
nal form in 1912 to Justinius Korner
by the poet, who was then only "a
years old. Korner recognized the
beauty of the composition, laid the
manuscript on the table and the next
moment a gust of wind carried it out
and upon the fields. Korner hastened
to find it and enlisted the services of
every one he could find near his home,
but the search was in vain, and the
manuscript was given up for lost until
weeks later, when it was found serv-
ing as a wrapper for a toy in a ped
dler's basket.

if the Turkish carpet industry We're in
grated. I think that it would be a
very easy matter to do it. The product
is a staple article, in great demand and
with no danger of ever Cutting the
market, as it is all hand work and
there is no machine competition to
fear. I mentioned this matter to Judge
Dole, telling him that I thought the
industry would develop a peculiar
phase here that would produce a Ha-
waiian carpet, with some of the coIors
that environment would suggest. 1
have this thought and give it for what
it is worth.
Il shall go home with great deal
of Information regarding the conditions
here. I even place a greater value upon
the Importance of Hawaii to the main
land than you. in your modesty. put
upon it, and 1 feel most hopeful for
your future. But again say that what
is needed most is not only frequent,
but elegant, accommodations by steam
ship between the mainland and here.
Your country is beautiful, but even if
we of the mainland can get passage
here we want to know that we can get
away. I thank you, gentlemen, very
much and wish you every success. and
I shall do everything within my power
TO aid you in gaining that success"

ing your various races and people is
an object lesson, the value of which

Il can well see, and doubtless in time
we will all realize it, that in shaping
cur laws for the eighty millions on
the mainland we must see how those
laws Will fit conditions for which we
are responsible in the Territorial pos
sessions distant from our mainland and,
as L have said, you are following the
very wisest course of having your
conditions understood by those who
shape the laws.

and Preparations Were Made toF
Double Funeral for Him and
His Mother To-day.

Like Mark Twain, the humorlst. once
upon time, Fred Krsllingur l. In a
position 70 announce that the news Of
bis death u greatly exaggerated. for.
expected a. a corpse, he stepped OF the
Central Vermont train IN Barre yester.
day afternoon IN ilesh and blood and IN
the best Of health. The sorrowing rcIa.
tives who went 20 the station to &C.
company hi. remains homeward, stared
In amaxement at what they irst aus.
pegted was an apparition Then rccoe-
ering their speech they cried;
IL that yon, FrediP
ITS ne, all right, replied the young
man, wondering at the strange reception
and knowing not what TO think. Then
they went np and shook hands with
him.
Finsily convinced that Fred was really
flesh and blood, their feelings Of glad.
ness that be was still alive wiped out
for the moment their sorrow over the
death Of his mother, Mrs. Mary II. Krei-
linger, who passed away Monday, and
they wept tears Of JOY.
Arrangements had been made for a
double funeral Of the young man and his
mother this forenoon, in response to
message from Winston Salem, North
Carolina, sayings
Fred died. followed by announce.
ment that his sister, Mrs. A. Ronea. was
coming from Winston.Salem and would
reach Barre Wednesday night. A short
time before Mrs. Krelinger's death, a
message was sent 70 Winston Salem. an
nouneing her condition, il being answered
as above stated, fifteen minutes after
the woman's demise; whereat the family
here was plunged into double. mourning.
Plans were made for the reception of tia
body Of the young man, and the under
takers cart was ready 10 70 for the body
on the arrival OF the train. When the
Young man walked off the train with
Mrs. Ronca, the surprise may be imag
ined.
The message reads clear enough, as
taken by the local Western Union opera
tor. tilat Fred was dead. The operator
got 10 work last night tracing out the
messagc. to find where the CHASTITY mis-
take was made. There may have been
a slip in transmission, as It had to be
relayed several times in its trip from
the South.
This Is not the first time that Fred
has been thought to be dead,
only to turn up in good health later
Early in the summer Of 1893 he went
away from home for a little trip, and
after eight weeks absence he was given
up for lost, and his parents caused a
reward to he offered ''for his body, dead
Or alive as the notice stated, adding
That It was feared that he had met with
foul play Hence the present experience
will not be entirely novel TO him.
Since arriving in Barre, he has been
sept busy assuring his surprised friends
hat he IS still in the land of the living.
