BUELOW CARRIES
OUT HIS THREAT
RESIGNS AS CHANCELLOR or
EMPEROR. HoLLwEe HIS
SUCCESSOR.
COMPELLED TO LEAVE BECAUSE
OF ADVERSE PARLIAMENT
TARY MAJORITY.

Berlin, July 15.-Prince Won Bue-
low. chancellor of the empire, retired
yesterday and was succeeded by DR..
Won Bethmann Hollweg. The latter
was succeeded by Herr Delbrueck as
minister OF the interior and vice
chancellor, Herr Sydow, secretary OF
the imperial treasury, has been APP
pointed to the department of com
merce, Herr Wermuth, under secre-
tary for the interior, is the new Sec
rotary and treasurer. Herr Won
Trott zu Solz, president OF the PROV
ince of Brandenburg, succeeds Ludwio
HOLE as Prussian minister of public
instruction, who has retired owing to
Ill health. Various other minor
changes have been made after con.
ferences which the emperor had with
his ministerial advisers. The emper-
or transacted the business pertaining
to the change of chancellors with
broadcast publicity. He warmly re.
ceived Buelow upon the garden ter
race, being in view of the crowd of
spectators who had gathered on
electors bridge and in Burgstr2sse on
the other side of the spree.
The political aspects of the change
are important. Beulow is the first
German chancellor who has been
compelled to leave office because OF
an adverse parliamentary majority.
Caprivi fell partly on account of con
sentative opposition, but not through
direct parliamentary defeat. The
change yesterda- is regarded by the
liberals as long step towards min
isterial responsibility to the reich
stag. 1t was brought about by con-
servatives and clericals, parties OPP
posed in principle to absolute parlia-
mentary system. They are in CO.
operation with IS Polish members
whose policy is opposition to all gov
ernments and were able to defeat
Beulow's finance measure by eight
votes. The chancellor could have
remained in Office had he accepted
coalitions of the finance bin, with the
direct legacy duties eliminated, but he
chose to retire.

ICE GosLETs.

Instead of putting ice into a goblet
OF beverage, it occurred to a Hol-
lander that it would be well to put
the beverage into goblet of ice. The
thought led to experiments which, ac-
cording to a report given in the Sci
entif1c American. have resulted in the
manufacture of ice goblets in a plant
near the Hague, Netherlands. A de-
scription says:
The Ice goblet is conical drinking
vessel like tumbler made entirely of
ice which is placed IN a smaller paper
shell for convenience in handling and
for protection against surrounding
heat and direct contact with warm
bodies such as the hand, table, etc.
1t weighs three and one-half ounces
and is five inches high. The walls.
which are slightly tapered are about
one-eighth of an inch thick and ter
inmate in an arched bottom of three
eighths inch thickness. 1t has ca
pacity of one-quarter liter (about one
half pint. BY a special process the
Ice may be made in all degrees of
Transparency or capacity, and even
with a fiowery structure. 1t can also
be colOred to give it a pleasing as
pect, A drink out of one of these
goblets is said to be delightfully."- re-
freshing and not as cold as one would
think.
Visions of the goblet melting away
into nothingness ere one has finished
his beverage need not disturb us, we
are told, for the stability of the glass
will endure for half an hour in sum-
mer It collapses, however, on refill
ing and can thus be used but once, a
desirable sanitary property.
In its manufacture it is not
touched by the hand, and by using
pure or distilled water an absolutely
clean goblet is obtained. The paper
she'll is thrown away after being used
a single time, because when wet it
loses its shape and it does not pay to
dry and reform it.
The fact that the ice-goblet will
resist melting much longer than
would an equal quantity of ice if
thrown into water is thus explained:
In the goblet the ice is insulated
by the paper incasing it and itself
insulates the liquid within, while the
difference of temperatures between
the two diminishes rapidly, thus ar
resting the melting of the inner side
Owing to these yer favorable condi-
tons the goblet has an astonishingly
longe existence. The same ice goblet
throw in water would melt away in
a few minutes

Ieggmen Again at Work.

A fire, which originated in the Nation
al Bank, at Chilhowie, Va, about three
O'Clock on last Saturday morning, wiped
out several splendid buildings, entailing
a loss of about $50, ,OOOO. The following
business houses were among those de-
stroyed; w. II. Copenhaver, hardware
merchants, j. S. Morris, undertaken, j.
w. Heninger, merchant and lumber
man, Holston Manufacturing Company,
makers of overalls, B. T. Sanders, drug
gist. The fire is supposed to have been
started by gang of yeggmen who evil
IDENTIFY were bent on robbing the bank,
as the fire started directly in front of
the safe in which the money of the bank
was deposited. The condition of the
weather made it out of the question to
follow the burglars with bloodhounds,
but the citizens of Chilhowie feel their
losses so keenly it would hardly be
safe to take the men back there even
should they yet be captured.

Roosevelt Did Not Hit Horse.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 1.-The
President has received a letter from
Mrs. Elizabeth M. Rhoades, at Los An
geles, Cal, mother of Miss May
Rhoades, who was one of a party of
young ladies who met the President
while out horseback riding near here q
few weeks ago, when it was said he
struck her horse when she sought to
precede him on the road.
The letter is as follows: my daugh-
ter, Miss May Rhoades,. whose horse, it
has been widely reported, you struck
while riding in the park last Thanks
giving Day, most emphatically denied
any knowledge of such an occurrence,
and as it is deemed of such Importance
as to be referred to in Congress, may l
be permitted to ask you why you do not
deny this story"
Secretary Loeb said the reason the
President had not denied the story here
tofore was because it was so absurd
that he did not care to pay any atten-
ton TO it.

A Distressing Death.

On last Saturday evening, January
30th, Mrs. Sallie Davidson, wife of Jos,
S. Davidson, died at their home on Plum
Creek, two and a half miles west of
Tazewell. The cause of her death was
pneumonia, to which she succumbed
after few days illness. She was a
good Christian woman, and there is a
peculiar sadness in her death, as she not
only leaves her husband but family of
eight children, the youngest being an
infant only two months old.
Funeral services were held at the
home of the deceased on Monday after
noon, conducted by Rev. W. M. Patty,
her pastor.
The remains were buried at Pleasant
Hill, in Thompson Valley. Much SYM
pathy is felt for the bereaved husband
and orphan children.

THE STATEHOOD BILL.
Provides For The Admission Of Arizona
And New Mexico Separately.

Washington, January 3O.-An omni-
bus bill providing separate Statehood
for the Territories of New Mexico and
Arizona was introduced in the House of
Representatives today by Mr.. Hamil-
ton, of Michigan, chairman of the House
Committee on Territories.
The bill was framed by the Republi-
can members of the Committee and sub
mitted to the minority members, who
have approved it.
New Mexico is given two representa-
tives in the House of Representatives
to be elected at large, and the city of
Santa Fe is designated as the capital of
the State until 1920.
For Arizona, Phoenix is designated as
the capital until 1920. Arizona is given
one Representative in the House of Rep
resentatives.
Hearings on the bill will be heard by

A MASON At SIGHT.
This Rare Honor rendered President
Elect Taft.

Cincinnati, Ohio, February 9.-The
Grand Master of Ohio Masons, Charles

dered to William Howard Taft the rare
and high honor of being made Mason

Judge Taft has accepted and will re-
turn to Cincinnati on Thursday, Febru-
ary Is, when the Grand Master will
convene a distinguished company of
sons in the Scottish Rite Cathedral and
exercise the high prerogative which
belongs only to Grand Master of Ma
sons.
This honor is so rarely conferred that
there is but single instance of it on
record in the hundred years of history
of Masonry in Ohio, when in 1892 the
Hon. Asa A. Bushnell, of Springfield,
was made Mason at sight.
In addition to prominent Ohio Masons
invitations will be sent to the Grand
Masters of all the other States in the
Union to participate in the convoca-
tion.

OUT OF RACE
FOR GOVERNOR
Hon. Henry c. Stuart Announces His
Withdrawal From The Contest And
Will Go to Bedside of Wife.

Richmond, Va, February Henry
c. Stuart, of Russell county, last night
announced his retirement from the can
didacy for the office Of Governor of Vir-
ginia.
The announcement came as a surprise
as Mr.. Stuart is known to be one of the
most popular men in the State. His
action was forced by the condition OF
the health of his wife, who is now in
Paris, where she has been undergoing
medical treatment for some time Mr..
Stuart returned to Richmond only day
or two ago, Immediately thereafter re-
ceiving advices from Paris which de-
manded his presence by the bedside of
his wife. He will leave at once for Eu-
rope.
After denying the rumored report
that he had withdrawn his candidacy in
favor of Congressman Carter Glass, of
Lynchburg. Mr.. Stuart dictated the fol-
lowing statement:
''On my return from my home in Rus
sell county on Wednesday to Richmond,
l found information from Paris, where
Mrs Stuart is now i'll, as to her physical
condition, which has determined me,
after consultation with a few intimate
friends, to go Immediately to her.
realize that a second trip abroad on this
account at this juncture, with the prob
ability of an indefinite absence. must
necessarily mean my withdrawal from
the contest l feel that the duty which
calls me is above any personal ambition
l may have, or any desire to serve my
State.
Il am deeply sensible of the honor
which has been done me by so many of
my fellow citizens in the steadfast sup
port which they have so generously ex-
tended to me, and which has greatly ex-
ceeded my expectations. For these evil
dences of confidence and esteem coming
from all parts of the State, l am, and
always will be profoundly grateful, and
as l am now leaving for Paris in some
haste, wish every friend, wherever
situated, to feel embraced and remem-
bered in this general statement until
circumstances allow me an opportunity
of more personal and specific expression
of my thanks and appreciation.
Il wish to add that my conclusion has
been reached without consultation. di-
rect or indirect, with any candidate for
the Governorship, or other Office, or
with any friend or friends of any of
them, and is without reference to the
cause of any of them.
81 had returned to Richmond for the
purpose of beginning actively the work
of my campaign. My reason for with
drawing is purely personal, and such as
any man must understand and respect,
and is in no way caused by political con-
sideration.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Stuart from
the field leaves but two avowed contest
ants for the Governorship, Harry St.
George Tucker and Judge William H.
Mann, but it is confidently expected
that the latter end of the week will find
Congressman Carter Glass an active en-.
try into the contest.
