remarked on more than one occasion that he should have a better position than that of clerk. During the time he was employed at the Grand hotel he made many acquaintances who were very much surprised when they learned the nature of the charge against him. He was cer- tainly an artist in more ways than one and one Of his speeialties was pen and ink drawing. He has done great deal of this work since he has been in the city and he always had a ready sale for the work. His work was done over the name of Erie and it compares very fla vorably with some of the work turned out by leading artists.
 In speaking of the case at a late hour this evening Detective Dugan stated that he had had a good deal of experience in this line of work but he was almost in- elined to award the palm to Griffenburg when it came down to being smooth one. He stated that he had been looking into his record for some time and had discovered that he had a. system all of his own, in that he would as soon as he went to new place look up the preach CTS, and then proceed to make good with them. After that he would get busy and get in with some of the best people and then start to work MT. Dugan seems to be under the impression that had he not been arrested when he was he would have had the entire hotel.
 Grfmenburg is in trouble now but it must be said to his credit that he con- ducted himself as a gentleman while he was at the hotel and he was intrusted with large sums of money on more than one occasion. After his arrest, his ac- counts were checked up and they were found to be absolutely correct.
 Detective Dugan and MT. Hoyt arrived in Birmingham this afternoon and were met by City Detectives Patton and Par sons. Acquisition papers have been for warded from the governor of Illinois to Governor Conner and it is expected that he will sign them and have them in Bessemer by Monday afternoon.
 Griffenburg was to have had a hearing before Judge Jackson this morning at Il o'clock, but in the meantime, a picture of him was received and after a comparison, the judge was so certain that he was the man wanted that he ordered the trial postponed until Monday morning, provided the officer did not arrive in the meantime.
 There have been lots of sensational cases in Bessemer during the past year or two, but this one has excited more interest by far than any of the previous ones.

The American WoodpiIe.

Official estimates place the standlnS timber supply of the United States at from 1400 to 2000 billion feet. Taking first the figures based upon the mlnl- mum estimate of 1400 billion feet, With an annual use of 100 billion feet Of timber and an annual growth Of 40 billion feet, all the timber will be cut within 23 years, says the March Apple tons. With 2000 billion feet estimated as the maximum of the standing tim Der supply, an annual use of 100 billion feet and an annual growth of 40 billion feet, there is just enough timber to last 33 years. Without timber the building of homes would be curtailed. The heavy timber frames for houses could not be had, and sheathing, shingles, lathing and the hardwood for finishing would also be impossible of procure ment. Where, in view of this scarcity, would the 00,000,000 crossties used by the railroads each year be obtained? At the present time books, magazines and newspapers, which are vitally nec- essary to the happiness and intellect ual life of human beings, require about 2,900,000 cords of wood made into pulp every year. Already we are beginning to import wood pulp at an increased cost, and the substitution of another paper material would raise the price of literature. The wood used in mak- ing barrels runs to enormous figures, and in the mines of the country about 165,000,000 cubic feet of timber, most of it hardwood, is used. More than 1,1So,130 cords of wood are used each year for distillation, and for. the seem- inSly insignificant item of veneer no less than 326,000,000 feet, log scale, of timber are used. The telegraph, tele- phone and electric light companies use about 3,500,000 poles each year and about 120,000,000 cords of wood are burned. A single match factory, of which there are more than 150 in this country, consumes 100000 board feet of sugar pine or yellow pine logs day. Inese are by no means all of the uses to- which wood is put, but, immense as is the tax upon the forests and as great as it may become in 1850, it is no more than the supply of timber will meet if the forests are properly cared for. But before such care can be exercised in this country-it is an actuality in Ger many-save upon the national and state reservations which constitute only 22 per cent of the total area of forests, spirit of national economy must replace one of national waste.

KAISER PREPARES
 FOR QUICK RELIEF Equips Carriages With First
 Aid- To-Wounded Kit AROUSED BY REGENT ACTS Recent Reeicides and Attacks Upon Rulers Have Led the German
 Emperor to Take This Nec-
 essary Precaution.
AROUSED BY RECENT ACTS

Berlin, March 21-The recent regicides and attacks upon rulers have induced the Kaiser to place in all carriages, used oy himself and members of his family, a com plete first-aid- to- -the-wounded kit This consists of two rubber bandages, a ruo- Der tube and two antiseptic bandages. Besides, the Emperor, his adjutants and all members of the household wear a cer- tain kind of suspenders that can be used, at a moments notice, for bandages. This suspender is an invention of William uncle, the late Professor von Esmarch, inventor of the ''bloodless operaton:
 Medical reports recently reconsidered by the Berlin and Paris medical faculties, state, according to the findings of the late Czar Alexander ITS physicians, that the Russian Emperor did not die by the bomb hurled at him, but on account of the loss of blood due to the wound. II the flow of blood could have been stopped quickly by bandages, such as Kaiser Will liam now carries with him, the life of the Ltberator-Cz might have been saved despite the wounds he received.
 The Prussian Minister of Cult, learning of the medical findings, reported to Prince von Buelow, and the first aid to the ln- jured kits were ordered at once. They are done up in very small packages, ana can be fastened to the saddle, if the Kaiser goes out on horseback. At any rate the Kaiser has consented never to leave the palace without the kit. Owing 10 the same considerations, the peculiar kind or braces that may be turned into bandages were furnished free to all attendants up- on the royal person. .
 Those of the Emperor's physicians who are not army officers are now taking rio- ing lessons to enable them to accompany the Kaiser on mounted excursions. when William drives, one of his body physicians now always follows in a second carnage. 1t is the physician's duty to see to IL tilae the kit is in working order. Besides hay ing a duplicate in his own vehicle, he car ries the most necessary surgical instru-

An UntoWard Mishap.

From Modern Society.
 At one of the side shows in certain fair the principal performer was knife- thrower who made a speciality of throw ing knives all around a lady into board at the back of the stage.
 The partner of this artist was middle aged, stout, and--well, very plain, and when she came on the audience gasped.
 They had not thought it possible for any one to be-well, so plain, and live through it.
 The man arranged her to the board, and at the critical moment threw the knife.
 It flew through the air and stuck quiv- ering in the board

Restaurant Stories.

81 don't care for the vulgar type Of
restaurant story" said New York ho-
tel keeper. II refer to that type where
the guest shouts angrily to the waiter:
ugh, this steah is not fresh! What
a horrible smell! Here, waiter, judge
for yourself!
But, shaking his head. the waiter
points to the next table and answers
grimly:
beg pardon. sir, you're quite
wrong. It's the other gentleman's
fish,
"Or the story Of the man who COM
planned about his planked shad, wind
ing up:

"'No. no, SIR the waiter answered.
You're the sixth person what has COM
planned about that portion of shad.'
ION somewhat higher plane are the
meat stories. Thus strange guest
says:

we'll as a restaurant? see lot of

Youthful LOGIC.

Mrs. L., young and inexperienced
Sunday school teacher, was at times
sorely perplexed how to answer the
questions put to her by some of her
unusually bright pupils. One DAY just
after she had finished telling the chill
dren the story that Adam was the first
man God created quiet reigned in the
class room for several minutes. Sud
denly up jumped little Rosie and IN a
piping voice said, ''Oh. teacher. you for
got to tell us whether God created
Adam right away man or baby"
Embarrassed Mrs. l.. looked up to the
ceiling and then to the children for an
inspiration Happily she quickly spied
Betty's little hand raised above the
others eager to answer the question.
Teacher, l am surprised my sister
Rosie should ask such foolish ques-
ton. Why, God must have created
Adam right away a big man, because
if God had created him a baby he
would have had to have mother to
take care of him."

The Servant Girl In Germany.

In most German households there IN
no such thing as the strict division of
labor insisted on here. Your cook will
be delighted to make a blouse for you,
and your nurse will turn out in the
dining room. while your chambermaid
will take the child for an airing if you
order it so. They are more human in
their relation to their employers. The
English servant fixes a gulf between
herself and the most democratic mis-
tress. The German brings her intimate
joys and sorrows to good herrschaft
and expects their sympathy.
When a girl has bad luck and en-
cages with a bad herrschaft she is
worse off than in England because she
is more in the power of her employers
and of the police than she would be
here She has to have dienstbuch.
an official book in which her age and
personal appearance are registered. In
this book her employers write her
character. 1t is under the control of
the police and has to be shown to them
when she leaves and when she enters
a situation. 1t is hardly necessary to
say that when girl does anything
seriously bad and her employers record
it in the book the book gets lost"
Then the police Interfere and make it
extremely disagreeable for the girl.

No Need of Suffering from Rheuma-
tiSm.

1t is mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved, and in most
cases a cure effected by applying
Chamberlain Liniment. The relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. 1t makes
sleep and rest possible. Even in cases
of long standing this liniment should
be used on account of the relief
which it affords. Do not be discour-
aged until you have given it trial.
