About the strangest job ever perfcrmo1
by 4 messenger was that given to Walter
Wiley some time ago. when he was sent TO
an East Side tenement house on hurry
call Wiley found the source of tho call
without difficulty. and a small package di-
Tected 20 the MOrgue was handed 10 him.
Messengers. as a rule. are not curious. but
the idea OF carrying an unlabelled package
TO the Morgue was little too much for
Wiley. and he asked the person who ten
dered him the bundle what II contained
lie was told that II was none OF his busi-
ness. and that there was physicians GER
tifcate accompanying the package.
Walter did not make any further objec-
ton. After he had delivered the package
at the Morgue II was found that il con-
tanned the body OF new born negro baby.
Wiley says that this was the first and only
time TO his knowledge that messenger had
been used as a hearse-

friend of Princess Marie, their relations
dating from childhood. and had attended
her as lady-in-waiting until her mar
riage to Prince Waldenar
When Princess Mare showed these let
ters to the late Czar during one of their
walks in the woods around the chateau
of Bernstorff, in order to convince him
of the truth of her assertion that Bis
marck was playing him false, the effect
vas electric. Although he was perfectly
well aware that in spite of the Three
Emperors' Alliance Bismarck had negoti-
ated a secret agreement with one of the
allies, namely, Russia. against the other
that is TO say. Austria-yet he could
not, until Princess Marie showed him the
letters. believe that while Bismarck was
publicly sdenouncing Ferdinand for hav-
ing accepted the throne of Bulgaria, in
defiance of the opposition of the Court OF
st. Petersburg. he was secretly support
ing him in his venture. So angry did the
Car become that, although he had ar
ranged to attend the German grand army
maneuvres that autumn at Stettin as
the guest Of his uncle. old Emperor Will
lam, he at the last moment declined to
fulfil his engagement, or even to touch
at Stettin on his way back to ST. Peters
burg. the slight being all the more
marked by reason OF the fact that Stet-
tin is but a few hours distant from
Copenhagen.
That was the end of the Three En-
perors' Alliance and the birth OF the
Franco Russian alliance. The Bis
MARKHAM press always insisted that the
letters shown by Princess Marie to the
Gar had been forged. But no proof OF
this could ever be produced. and IL Is
not probable that if they had been for
geries King Leopold would have had
them on the desk of his private library
at Laeken. or that the French Foreign
Office would have paid through the
banker Hentsch the price OF 900 for
their acquisition.
Let me add that one OF the grudges Of
the present Kaiser against Bismarck
was due TO the latter's duplicity in deal
Ing with Germany's allies. He never
forgave him for alternating Russia by
the double game which he played in
connection with Bulgaria. and he still
more deeply resented the old Chancel-
lOr's virtual betrayal of Austria by the
secret agreement which he had conclud
ed with the Russian Foreign Office.
And IL the Kaiser has always been so
popular i'm Austria, il is because of the
sterling loyalty of his friendship toward
that country. as compared with the dis
loyalty of Bismarck; a dislOyalty which
led Emperor Francis Joseph to refuse TO
receive the latter or even to recognize
his presence when he came to Vienna
not long after the resignation OF the

P|I1SbURG GOES BUGS
over WINNING H0N0RS

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 1S.-Pittsburg
is base ball mad tonight, the time Of
ficially set for the great celebration
in honor of Pittsburg's base ball club,
winner of worlds championship.
Traffic along Fifth avenue in the
downtown section of the city was
abandoned early in the evening, the
street car company running cars by
other routes. This street, as far as
Oakland, where Forbes field is locat-
ed, was roped off this afternoon in
preparation of the monster parade
tonight.
Such q parade was never seen in
Pittsburg before and perhaps not in
any other city Of the country. Led
by Mayor McGee and members of his
cabinet and all members of the Pitts
burg base ball club, the 14th and 18th
regiments of ~ National guards of
Pennsylvania, formed the vanguard
of the most unique assemblage that
ever traversed the streets Of this city.
Practically every political club Of AL
legheny county was in line as was
also about 100 athletic organizations,
members marching in uniform. Each
section Of the city constituted divi-
sion of parade, while business men
and various trades unions marched

there was large number of the

mission, introduced Judge Chas. A.
Pollock of Fargo, who presided.
Pressing engagements kept Attor-
ney General Miller and Judge Craw'

Judge Pollock said that those who
are coming into the state had gen.
orally the right notion in reference
to the obedience of the law, and that
they were joining hands with the Of
fcers for the enforcement of the law.
He said that it is the duty of the
citizens to take an interest in its
enforcement and that the citizenship
of the state should put their hands
to the wheel to help it go. 1--WE are
long way. said he, beyond what
we once were. We get in too big a
hurry. The past twenty years we
have worked wonders. You too Of
ten measure the whole system by GER
tain localities, when the law is not
observed. Ministers of the gospel
have been preaching for nineteen
hundred years and still there is need
to do so. It comes. slow. You can
not expect a body Of people coming
from a1l the. countries Of the old
world to come in a moments time to
adopt one system. The law does not
enforce itself and never will. 1t is
not the law that the law breaker
fears, but the men behind, the laws.
There is a feeling that the officers
should throw their mantle about
them and not speak. It is indeed
proper for the governor and the
judges to stand on the platform and
say that the law should be enforced.
If the officers say so it helps to the
enforcement of the law"
Then turning to the governor the
Judge pointed to the ministers and
said:
"These are. the conservators of
peace wherever they CO. They will
be first to give encouragement to the
enforcement of the law, and they are
only a part of the great army who
stand for law enforcement
