aerlin. Feb. s.--Outwardly calm the
city of Berlin Is nevertheless far from
being pacified. The demonstrations
which the authorities had looked Tor
ON the Kaiser's birthday did not ma
terialixe and to give 1t the appearances
that All is we'll only the usual NUM-
her Of sentries pace the trottoir In
front Of the Imperial Palace. but IN
aide the strong walls of the building,
invisible from without are one hun
dred policemen. armed with swords ana
revoivers. ready for any emergency.
The policemen are being fed on the
fat Of the land with meals and cooked
In the Kaiser's own kitchen and at his
expense.
The authorities do not fear the
Socialists who would never do any
harm to the Kaiser or anyone else
In the palace but they are in deadly
fear Of the anarchists who have been
exceedingly active of late and who are
known to have concocted various plans
Of open violence against the Kaiser
and Prince Buelow.
An order, / am told. is to be con-
ferred upon j. Pierpont Morgan. be-
cause he kindly allowed the Kaiscr to
decorate his palace with some of the
masterpieces by English painters which
he owns and which are at present on
exhibition in the Royal Academy OF Art
in this city.
Because enameled. bricks made in
the Kaiser's own terra Gotta factory at
Cadinen have been used on the walls
OF the stations of the Berlin subway

all materials for public works must bo
given to the lowest bidder, and that in
this case, no one was given an oppor-
tunity to make bid when 1t became
known that the Kaiser wanted the or
der for his own factory.
So far no notice has been tBSen Of
the protest and most likely the affair
will be allowed to die out.
Powdered arsenic used to preserve
the stuffed birds in a museum OF Mats
ural History at Zietz, Saxony, nearly
killed thirty young girls. attending
high schools.
The girls visited the museum with
their teacher and when returning home
were taken sick showing all the
symptoms OF an arsenic poison.
An investigation showed that the
birds in the museum had Just been
sprinkled with arsenic to keep away
vermin and that this was the cause Of
the poisoning. All the girls have re-
covered.
FrauIein Bertha seligman. young
woman of great wealth, living with
her mother on q large estate near
Budha-Pest. has mystified her friends
by suddenly disappearing on her we'd
ding morning.
Although only eighteen years OF
age, she had already broken of six en-
gagements, having on each occasion
sent to the discounted lover check
for $500 as compensation.
Two months ago, at a friends house.

cinated by her beauty and wit. He
wrote to her saying that though he
could never hope to marry her. he felt
he must at least tell her that he loved

brought him to her feet.
The engagement was officially an
