GERMAN CHANCELLOR MAKES
ANNOUNCEMENT
Will Hold Office Until Pending FInan-

Special Request of Emperor
William
IRy Associated Press.l

BERLIN, June 2S.-Prince Won Bue-
low authorized the announcement that
he intends to retire from the chancel-
lorship of the empire in any event as
soon as the pending finance reform
measure is disposed of in one way or
another. The prince remains in Of
flee only temporarily In an endeaVor
to pass the bill.
The semi-official Nord Deutsche Ale
gemeine Zeitung, commenting today on
the current reports published tending
to weaken the significance of Chan
cellor Won Buelow's statement, says:
Prince Won Buelow besought the en-
peror to permit him to go at once, but
his majesty, in the warmest terms, ex-
pressed the wish that the prince re-
main in office until the final proposals
had been put through the reichstag.
Probable Successor
Emperor William has not considered
the question of a successor to Chan
cellor Won Buelow. The most probable
choice, however, is Won Bethmann-
Hollwig, imperial secretary of state of
interior and vice chancellor. He is an
able parliamentarian but never has
had anything to do with foreign aftalrs.
The emperor may ~also consider
Baron Marschall Won Bierstein, the
ambassador to Constantinople, for the
office. Among the other possibilities
are Baron Won Rheiphaben, General
Won Lowenfeldt and General Won
Wedel.
Prince Won Buelow, who came from
the German embassy at Rome twelve
years ago without title to be foreign
secretary, will go back to Rome and
live in the villa recently purchased by
him there at a cost of 100000. A poor
man twelve years ago he retires with

.BURKE'S JUNGLE
lOM'S CABIN" "

Taking into consideration the faci |
that Burk's Big Uncle Toms Cabin
Co" is coming and will exhibit al
Montpelier Friday evening Sept. II,
the following bit Of history relative to
this the most successful drama the
world has ever known, will no douhl
prove interesting to many. MIR. Ed
ward Skidmore, prominent New York
journalist, saw the first production
of ''Uncle Toms Cabin" more than 81
years ago. When the great work OF
Harriet Beecher Stowe, "Uncle Toms
Cabin, was dramatized and first per-
formed on the stage of the old Chatham
Theatre in New York City.
Mr.. Skidmore at that time was re-
porter on the old New York Evening
Post. Having an acquaintance with
the manager ef the theatre, he was
invited to an evening performance OF
this truly remarkable drama He was
so falorably impressed with many Of
the scenes of "Uncle Toms Cabin"
particularly with the illness and death
of Eva, when scores of the audience
shed tears, that he induced Mr. " ill
lam Cullen Bryant, the editor of the
Evening Post. to attend the perform
ance few nights after it was played
in New York. Mr.. Bryant the next
day wrote and published n friendly
notice and recommended the play to the
religious community. This started
Uncle Toms Cabin" on the road to
popularity, and to this day it is safe to
say it is the drama that attracts
Christian people to the theatre Like
Shakespeare's works, Uncle Tom
Cabin is Not For A Day But For All
Time
Bura's Big Uncle Toms Cabin Co
has not been presenting this popular
drama for fifty years, but they have
for the past ID years, and the same o
Burk's "Uncle Toms Cabin" Co. ha.
become established throughout every
state III the Union, and the fact that i

CHILD EVINcED REAL HERolsM.
Pathetlcally Brave in Hour That
Brings Terror to us All.

A pathetic story of a child's heroism
is told by Dublin gentleman. Re-
Gently he proposed to drive with his
wife to the beautiful Glasnevin ceme-
terry Calling his son, bright little
boy, some four years old, he told him
to get ready to accompany them. The
child's countenance fell and the father
said:
Don't you want to go, Willie?"
The little lip quivered, but the child
answered, Yes, papa, If you wish"
The child was strangely silent dur
ing the drive, and when the carriage
drove up to the entrance he clung to
his mothers side and looked up in
her face with pathetic wistfulness.
The party alighted and walked
among the graves and along the tree
shadowed avenues, looking at the in
scriptions on the last resting-places of
the dwellers In the beautiful city OF
the dead. After an hour or SO thus
spent, they returned to the carriage,
and the father lifted his little son to
his seat. The child looked surprised,
drew breath of relief and asked:
why, am I going back with your"
"Of course you are; why not?"
Il thought when they took little
boys to the cemetery they left them
there" said the child.
Many man does not show the her
oism in the face of death that this
child evinced in what, to him, had
evidently been summons to leave
the world.
