REAL HOG AGAINST ROAD HOG.
English Motorist Sues Farmer Be
cause Animal Caused an Accident.


That the motorist is not the only
road hog has just been proved 40
amusing case in London. ,
The owner of a motor car sued the
owner Of a large fat hog for dam
ages caused by a complication of cir
cumstances. It seems that the hog
was thoughtlessly sleeping in the cen
ter of public road near Truro, in
Cornwall, when horse and cart and
the motor approached. Reused by the
pounding of the horses hoofs on the
road and the footing of the automo-
bile horn, the old hog, slowly and la
boriously struggled to his feet.
When human beings are in the way
of the motor car nowadays they loose
no time in scrambling to a place Of
safety. Not so this particular Corn
wall hog. He had his own ideas on
the right of way.
1t was at this point in the narrative
that the court evidence became anus
ing, and incidentally, conflicting. 1t
is not easy to tell from the testimony
just what the hog really did. If We
are to believe some of the witnesses
he is master of bag of tricks that
would entitle him to a place in Ring
ling's circus. The concensus of
opinion was that the dog refused to
bulge from his position in the center
of the road. One witness contented
himself with saying that the animal
"snorted' at the oncoming motor cal.
Another declared that tfsS hog
"barked" several times at it.
1t was neither of these actions, |
however, which was responsible for
the court action. Evidently "snGN
ing barking hogs are eXeDtSS
sights in Cornwall. Finding his defasItS
grunts of no avail, the hog actually
sat up on his launches with his front
feet in the air. Such an exhibition
of cleverness was too much for the
horse attached to the cart, and she
SHE'D across the road. One witness
said he thought the horse was trying
to emulate the trick of the hog. but
the others who were called refused
to be drawn on the psychology of the
animal.
When the horse SHE'D the motor
was close behind and in attempting
to avoid collision, the driver ran his
machine into stone wall. One witness
Iacetlously remarked that he thought
the motor was trying to go both horse
and hog one better, and turn back
somersault.
The plaintiff based his case in court
On the fact that the defendant had oc-
cupled the public highway with some
thing dangerous. The court how
ever, refused to believe that the
hog was really dangerous. The lord
justice remarked that !" man cAan sit
down by the roadside when he is tired
why should not hog?
Upon witness being called who
gave the hog an excellent character
Judgment was given for the defenfE
ant.

NEW CHANCELLOR
OF STURDY TYPE.
FRIEND AND FRATERNITY
BROTHER OF KAISER
WILLIAM.
OF JEWISH ORIGlN-FAMILY
CAME FROM HOLLAND 200
YEARS AGO.

Berlin, July 16.-The recommends,
ton of Prince Won Buelow TO EN-
peror William that he appoint DR.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, imperial chancel-
lor has been followed and the new of
fetal has accepted the responsibility
of the offioce.
Dr. Won Bethmann-HOllweg IS col
lege friend of the emperor. They
were members of the same fraternity
in the Borussia corps at Bonn, and
during the entire reign of William,
Dr. Won Bethmann-Hollweg often has
advised him; but he has shown dis
Inclination to accept hign office. He
is man of reserved and thoughLful
habits, and sometimes has been called
the philosopher statesman. He is a
tall man with a long face that looks
longer than it really is because of his
small, dark, pointed beard He has a
habit of STOPPING from his greater
height, and looking at smaller men IN
a searching way through his specta-
found rest and comfort in DR.. Won
-Hollweg's repose of man
ner and his agreeable conversation.
Or. Won Bethmann-Hollweg is of
Jewish origin. The Bethmann family
left Holland two centuries ago on ac-
count of it's religion and settled in
Frankfort, where the man entered the
banking business. His great-grand-
mother married John James HollWeg,
who added his wife's name to his own.
His grandfather was the first mem
Der Of the family to enter public serv-
ice. He became a professor of Jurls-
prudence at the Bonn university, and
received patent of nobility for his
learning. Later he was made a mem
her of the Prussian Diet, and became
active in the constitutional agitation
Of the '40s, and ten years later he was
appointed to the Liberal cabinet as
minister of education. He is now
ffty-three years old. In his youth he
studied law, and was appointed as
sistant Judge. Before he Vas thirty
years old he had been made district
governor Of Ober-Barnim, and later
he became provincial president Of
Potsdam, where the suburban palace
Of Emperor William is located. Dur
ing his three years at Potsdam, he
saw much of the emperor, and the two
men took long walks and rides in the
envlrons II was the doctors custom
to ride out with the emperor in a
tweed suit Of sober cut, and he always
selected a quiet horse.
Following his sojourn at Potsdam,
Dr. ycn Bethman-Hollweg' promo
ton was rapid. He became presidents
of the government Of Rromberg, presl-
dent of the province Of Brandenburg'
from which post he took the portfollo
of Prussian minister of the interior.
He then followed Fosadowsky as I'M
perial minister, and showed in par
lament his powers of plain and effec-
tive statement. He is without the
eraces of expression and the Wit OF
Prince Won Buelow, bue he is g man OF
convincing thought and substance. AS
he has had no experience in foreign
affairs. it is presumed tina he VIII
relv on the foreign secretary in this
branch to a greater extent than Prince
Won Buelow has done.

IN GRAND ARRAY
ARMADA OF 148 VESSELS
STRONG ANCHOR IN THE
THAMES RIVER.
PROPHETS OF EVIL SILENcED
BY GATHERING OF
$4,000, 900 NAVY.

London, England, July 17.-One
hundred and forty-eight British war
ships dropped anchor in the Thames
last night, the array extending from
the estuary at the south end of the
river to Westminster bridge, in the
heart of London. The total tonnage
of this fleet is 100000, its cost is
e62, 900, 900 ($310,000, 000), and it is
Differed and manned by $4,000 of the
picked sons of the nation.
Every Vessel Is Useful.
More warships-165, to be exact
assembled for the naval review at
Spithead in 1897, but at least 80 of
those could neither steam nor fight,
and were there simply for show pur-
poses. The feet now converged ON
the Thames is without useless or OBJ
solete unit. Every one of the 14S YES
sells could go into battle at moments
notice and give a good account of it
self.
What is the object of this extended
and supurb display of Britain's fight
ing power afioat? First, it is an anti
panic show. Uneasiness prevails in
every quarter of Britain. Anxiety in
the higher circles as to the condition
of the country's defense has bred
apprehension and pessimism through
out the body polite
Heroic Sedative for Nation.
Lord Roberts says the army is a
tragic joke Admiral Beresford says
the navy is not what it has been con-
sidered. And Germany is accused of
having aggressive designs against the
peace and liberty OF Britons. The re-
suit of all this ferment is that the
country is in danger of "going off its
head, The mighty armada on the
Thames, the assembling of which has
been saddened by the loss of sub
marine in the north sea, is the admi-
rally heroic sedative.>
"They have made the country think
that we have no navy" says Admiral
Fisher. THE British millions may
now line up along the Thames, go out
in boats and see the great reality for
themselves.
