THE WORST OF ANIMALS.
A Striking Portrait of Man With
Schopenhauer's Compliments,

Schopenhauer's Compliments.
Man is the only animal which causes
pain to others without any further pur-
pose than just to cause 1t. Other ami
mails never do it except TO satisfy their
hunger or In the rage of combat. No
animal ever torments another for the
mere purpose of tormenting. but man
does it. and it is this that constitutes
that diaboiical feature in his character
which is so much worse than the mere
~ animal. / have already spoken OF
the matter in its broad aspect. but it is
manifest even in small things. and
every reader has daily opportunity of
observing It, For instance, II two little
dogs are playing together-and what n
genial and charming sight 1t island
a child of three or four years joins
them, 1t IS almost inevitable for It to
begin hitting them with whip or
stick and thereby show itself. even at
that age, tie worst of animals. The
love of teasing and playing tricks,
which is common enough. may be trac
ed to the same source. For instance. II
n man has expressed his annoyance at
any interruption or other petty incon
venience, there will be no lack of PEG
pie who for that very reason will bring
IL about. This is SO certain that man
should be careful not to express any
annoyance at small evils. On the other
hand, he should also be careful not to
express his pleasure ut any trihe. for.
IL he does so, men will act like the
jailer. who. when he found that his
prisoner had performed the laborous
task Of tanning a spider and took n
pleasure in watching 1t. Immediately
crushed 1t under his foot. This Is why
all animals are instinctively afraid of
the sight or even OF the track of a
man, that animal mechant par excel
lence! Nor does their instinct play
them false, for il, is man alone who
hunts game for which he has no use
and which does him no harm.--Scho-
pcnhauer.

COUNTESS SUES Her HUSBAND
Domestic Difficulties of ShrewsbUTys
Again Aired in Court.
Husband Ordered to Live Up to Legal
Agreement and Pay Wifc's
Allowance,

London. Feb. 9.-The domestic difficult
ties between the Earl and Countess Of
Shrewsbury. which have been productive
of much litigation, We're the subject Of
another suit in the Kings Bench Divi-
sion yesterday.
The countess sued for payment of ST.
80 the amount Of a quarters allowance,
which was due on December . last under
a deed Of separation agreed tc in 1895
Il was stated that the countess was
abroad and that she had requested the
earl TO pay her allowance into her bank
in her absence. Lord Shrewsbury de-
clined to do this and sent check to her
solicitors requesting that it should be in
dorsed by Lady Shrewsbury herself. Lady
Shrewsbury's solicitors refused TO aC-
cept payment in this form and brought
the present action
Lord Snrewsbury's counsel explained
that Lady Shrewsbury's allowance was
for life only and he wanted her indorse-
ment on the check as evidence that she
was still alive.
Justice Kennedy said that Lord Shrews-
bury was clearly to blame for the present
litigation, because he had not complied
with his legal duty. and he gave judg-
ment for Lady Shrewsbury, with costs.

GERMANS DISLIKE HARRYLEHR
Newspapers in Berlin Characterize
His Acts as Franks"

Berlin, Feb. 9.-The pranks of Harry
I.ehr. the wealthy American champagne
agent, in calling on high social lights Of
Berlin in a check tweed suit, yellow
shoes. and colored shirt, as well as insist
ing that his wife should be given preced-
ence over the wives Of ambassadors at
a drawing-room function attended by
royalty. promise to have a more serious
outcome than was at first supposed.
A new turn has been given to the criti-
cism of the German press. which now de-
clares that the American Embassy was
guilty OF a breach of etiquette in having
the Lehrs. presented at court.
Complications may arise from the atti-
tude assumed by the newspapers which
VIII be embarrassing for Ambassador
Tower.
The secret of the animosity Of the press
to Lehr lies in the practical joke on Kais-
er William. several years ago, in substi-
tuting French champagne for German
at the time the Kaiser's yacht Meteor
was christened in America.
Now the newspapers charge that Mrs.
Astor, Lehr's patron, persuaded Mrs.
Tower to have Lehr presented The
Towers, it was pointed out, were under
obligations to Mrs. Astor because of hos
pitality shown them at her summer home
in Newport, and repaid the social debt
by promising to Introduce Lehr.

BRYCE SPEECH DISCUSSED.
Some London Papers Retain Anti
American Feeling.

London, Feb. 9-The speech Of James
Bryce. the new ambassador to Washing
ton. at the Pilgrim Club banquet. as in
dicating his policy at Washington. is cor
daily commended by most commentators.
There is a growing section of the anti
American press. however, which finds in
it a subject Of severe criticism. These
writer's assume. in effect. that the new
ambassador will find in American states
men a set of scheming sharpers TO whom
Mr.. Bryce will fan a willing victim. Thus
to-days Outlook says:
when il comes to n matter of inter
national bargaining, President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root will be required to
be watched as one would watch a New
England farmer in horse deal We are
not quite sure that Mr.. Bryce's vigilance
is altogether of this realistic character
If we may judge from his farewell speech,
if is in a spirit of almost excessive altru-
ism that he goes to his new post. Mr..
Bryce ranges himself instinctiyely with
those who exalt Anglo-American friend
Ship 20 the heights Of supreme dogma.
His devotion TO America and to the idea
of fricuonless sympathy between the two
nations very greatly exceeds his devotion
( 10 the empire.
! Mr.. BTyces appointment, in view OF
all that preceded it. and of his reputation
/ for anti-nationalism and for pro-Ameri-
canism. is very naturally accepted in OF
/ tawa and St. johns as an Indication that
/ the policy Of surrender is to be re-
/ sumed."

Twelve Princes and Mobiles Made
knights of Black Eagle.

Berlin. Feb 9.-The Berlin season can
be said 10 have commenced in real earn
est to-day with the investiture of twelve
new Knights Of the Order of the Black
Eagle at the imperial palace. Through
out the morning Inter den Linden has
been crowded with ambassadors coaches
in medieval splendor. Court carriages
and private equipages conveying princes
of the blood, court functonaries, knights
Of the order. in their Velasquez costume,
and the members of noble German houses
It was the most splendid ceremony Of the
court season.
The following thirteen knights received
the accolade from the Kaiser to-day:
Prince Oscar Of Prussia, Prince of Wal
deck and Pyrmont, Prince Albert of Hol-
stein-GIucksburg. Prince Eulenburg, Gen.
Won Leszcynski. Herr Won RadowitZ. Ad.
miral Senden-Bfbran. Or. Won Studt,
Count Won Zedlitz, Cardinal Won Kopp.
the Duke of Rathibor, Prince of Convey,
and Gen. Won Stulpnagel
Throughout the ceremony the Emperor
preserved the dignified and stern cOunte-
nance which almost all his portraits pre-
sent. but as soon as the knights of the
order had deposited their long, flowing
velvet mantles in the Black Eagle ante
chamber, he was gay and light hearted in
congratulatins the new knights on their
freshly gained honors.

desperate resistance. Bottles, stones, and
other miscellaneous weapons were hurled
at the advancing infantry, wounding a

resistance of the besioged was overcome,
and the whole building passed into the
possession Of the authorities after ten
hours fight.

and faced the liOness. The angry beast
sprang at him and struck him a violent
blow across the breast, which tore his
coat to ribbons and made him bleed pro-
fusely.

greatest bravery, and. finally mastering
the beast, drove her into the 'sabot"

St. Petersburg. Feb. 9.-Further revela-

KAISER PREFERS AUTO CARS.
Careful That His Driving Does Not
Affect street Traffic.

Berlin. Feb. 9-EmpcrOr William has
now almost entirely discarded the use OF
carriages IN favor Of automobiles. and it
is very seldom that he is seen out driv-
ing. When driving. the Kaiser generally
determines beforehand through which
streets he desires to go. as he frequently
has some certain purpose in view, such
as the inspection CT new buildings.
This to a degree accounts for the Sc
lection Of side streets instead OF main
thoroughfares for the route taken. His
chauffeur is also careful to avoid
streets in which tTamCars run, as the
Emperor has expressed the desire that
traffic should be as little hampered as
possible by his coming. Nevertheless,
the peculiar iong-drawn horn signal
which heraids his approach IS frequently
heard in Inter den Linden, and never
fails to attract crowds OF sightseeTs.
Meantime "all the Kings horses and
all the Kings men, in the imperial sta
bles are comparatively idle and filed with
envy OF the newcomers. the automobiles.
