Prince Won Buelow. the chancellor
of the German Empire, announces
that he intends to retire from that
eminent position, as soon as the pend
ing tax measure is disposed of. Prince
Won Buelow came from the German
embassy az Rome twelve years ago
without either title or fortune and
will go back to Rome with fame,
fortune and title to live in the villa
recently bought by him there at a
cost of half a million dollars On
the day that Emperor William con-
ferred upon him the title of Prince,
Won Buelow was informed that his
share of the estate of Herr Godfrey,
the wealthy sugar merchant of Ham
burg, amounted to 81. 375 900. Herr
Godfrey had never met Won BuelUw,
but had became interested in his
public career and left him this
fortune. Aside from Bismarck, the
grand old man who was known as
the Iron Chancellor, Won Buelow is
perhaps the most able man who has
ever administered the affairs of that
exalted position.

Should you have any old tin cans,
bottles or other receptables behind
your wood shed or barn dispose of
them, as the mama mosquitoes will
find them and use them as a cradle
for the new crop. One tin can full
Of stangnant water will furnish
mosquitoes to supply whole block.
The mosquito is rather domestic,
unless blown away by the wind. It
does not leave far its breeding ground.
1t does not thrive in running water,
but rain water barrel, tin can or
bottle are fertile nurseries for this
pest.
Taking a drive over the city, one
will find the lawns and gardens
charminglY clean and neat. But le-
turn to nor til east corner of the court
house yard and drive around the block
east of the court house, you will
wonder that such sore spot could be
found in beautiful Lancaster. If one
could reverse the surface condition of
this block, placing the great Baxter
building toward the Metho dist church
and the livery stable and its APP
purtenances facing the Wright House
and the beautiful court house yard,
what contrast it would be. 1t is
hardly possible to believe that such
a varied sanitary condition could
exist in one block.
All scandal mongers should be
impressed with the sentiment expressed
by President Hadley of Yale College
in his baccalaureate address to the
seniors. 1.-THE man who is cynical,
whether about women or business or
politics, is assumed-and in nineteen
cases out of twenty with full Justice
to be immoral in his relations to
women or business or politics. The
man who has faith in the integrity
of others in the face Of irresponsible
accusations is assumed-and in nine
teen cases out of twenty justly assum-
ed-to have the confidence in others
goodness because he is good himself.
This is why people will follow the
optimist even though he is sometimes
wrong, and shun the pessimist even
though he is sometimes right. -
For forty years Father Eaton. (God
bless his memory filled, the pulpit in
the Congregational church with much
credit. He preached the most scholar
ly sermons ever delivered in this
church. Many years ago the fire
brand dancing set the churches in
Lancaster in great agitation. Some
of the preachers were strongly OPP
posed to dancing, Father Eaton had
to get into line. He took the ground
that there was no harm in dances
properly conducted and which did
not interfere with other duties to be
performed. He was strongly opposed
to public dances, where everybody
could join them. This opinion was
not dictum but dear decision, an
authority that should have settled for
the Congregational church of Lancas.
ter at least, the controversery which
at present has stirred up several of
the gentlemen who have never tripped
the fantastic toe. One Of the then
pillars CT the church took exception
to Father Eaton's opinion and left
the Congregational society. There
is nothing in the creed of the Con-
gregatlonal church that prohibits
dancing. The motto of the great
English order. THE knights of the

To a reasonable person this motto
should govern the matter of dancing.

To her amazement, she saw the snake

sun as II 10 digest them at leisure.
The girls went home and told their
papa and mamma. Sonstrom, seizing a
club, ran TO the bridge. The snake was
still there and showed fight, but Son
strom killed 1t. He took the reptile
home with the hope Of recovering the
two quarters. He did so with interest.
In fact. before he got through with the
snake he felt like a usurer. a mine dis
coverer. or a bank robber
In the provident and thrifty snakes
midst were one half dollar. eleven quar-
tSrs, nine dimes, fifteen nlckels. and two
ceEts.
More remarkable still, the coins were
stacked so as to be accommodated to
the diminishing caliber of the snakes

nearest TO the mouth Of the purse. then

NEW YORK. Nov. s.-Edward Son

person, killed a blacksnake FIVE feet
long yesterday near the bridge over
Toney's brook, Montclair, n. J. The

mamma gave Mary two silver quarters.

Situation Changed.

ATHENS. Nov s--The political situa-
ton here has again undergone a com
pIete change. and the Loyal Navy party
now appears 10 be IN control OF the
cOuntry's affairs. The loyal officers
gained great strength by their attitude
in the Typaldos uprising.
The naval party has forced Colonel
Tsorbas, president OF the Military
League. which has been IN contrel of af-
fairs for months, to leave the punish
ment OF Commander Typaldos for his re.
volt entirely TO the navy. This has been
insisted upon because Il was generally
believed that Typaldos' insurrection was
but the premature opening Of a revolt
planned by the Military League.
IN this the naval officers have secured
the support Of the moderate army Of
hcers, and It now seems probable that
the Military League viii be completely
overthrown.
Whatever the outcome Of the present
situation may be, there is no doubt here
that King George viii be forced 10 abdi-
