MAD KING OTTO,s LIFE

Some remarkable details relating to the mad
King Otto of Bavaria are published from dip

Chronicle says. Though shut up for forty years
In castles, at the Castle Furstenried and
though sixtytwo years of age. Otto is still fine
handsome figure, with a magnificent beard and
flowing gray locks.
The stories about his periodical fits of fury ara
quite untrue. His court is presided over by Mar.
shall Baron RedWiz and consists of few trusty
gentry belonging to the most ancient families Of
the Bavarian aristocracy.
King Otto suffers terribly from insomnia and oft
en- sits up in bed half the night staring toward the
door, as If expecting somebody to enter. He how
ever, rises punctualy every morning at and mute

has holy horror of soap and water and Of hav-

titles of cigarettes and is always putting away save
when he is absorbed in his favorite pastime of
studying the operate music of his pet composer
Verdi. Often he causes the castle to resound all
day long with the melodies of 'Rigoletto"
The diplomat relates that the first symptom of
brain decay IN the young prince, till then SO
bright, forceful and courageous, was manifested
during the Franco-German war. Just before the
seige of Paris Kaiser William summoned him to the
headquarters of the general staff and kept him I'M
der observation, in company with Bismarck and
Moltke, the reason being that King Otto had called
out squad Of cavalry and ordered them to charge
straight at stone wall, which, he insisted was a
body of the enemy's infantry.
He began preaching everywhere the stern neces-
sity Of concluding peace with France ct any price
Soon after intercepted letters brought to the
Emperor William which the Bavarian prince had
been dispatchtng secretly to the enemy It was

about 121 years old, few men can be
found today to identify without look
Ing at the names. the pictures and
the busts Of men high in official gov
eminent position or of great fame in
their time in contemporary history.
In the senate chamber placed in
inches about the gallery walls are
busts Of the vice-presidents of the
United States. Only the guides Of the
Capitol who have their lessons letters
proof, can tell the names of these
men without reference to the printed
lists or the printed inscriptions.
When the house cleaning days were
over only a season ago two pictures
were replaced on the walls of the
corridor OF the senate. One Of them
was a picture of Patrick Henry and
the other was that of Thomas JEFF
ferson. For weeks the fact that JEFF
ferson's picture has been labeled
Patrick Henry and Patrick Henry's
had been labeled Thomas Jefferson
went undetected. Finally visitor
noticed the error, called attention to
it and had the change made
Perhaps the most striking picture
In the senate corridors is that which
shows Commodore Perry standing in
the row boat to which he went from
his sinking flag ship Lawrence to the
ship Niagara at the battle of Lake
Erie. Perry is pictured erect in the
boat while small boy evidently a |
'midship-mite," also standing trying
to pull the Commodore down to a |
seat SO that he will be less exposed |
to the furious rain of the shot of the
enemy The boy who is trying to in
duce the commodore to take the nee
essary precaution to save his life was
nephew of the great sailor, and it |
was he who later opened the ports
of Japan to the commerce of the
world. So it is that in the painting
are the portraits Of two Perrys, both
of whom are famous in the naval an
nails Of the United States.

Itself IN matters Of procedure, and so
1t is. The senate does things as no
other legislative body in the world
does them. The senators pride them
selves upon the dignity of their body
and they take no little pride appar

which govern them and in the ac-
cepted method of doing things with

Curari a Queer Poison

Curari, the vegetable poison with
which the Indians of the upper ANA.
zon tip their hunting arrows, remains
a mystery in its composition after a
hundred years Of investigation by sci
entists. The Indians will sell it fo1
its weight in silver, but will not reveal
the plants from which it is derived
Not long ago professor In a German
university was sent to the Amazon
wilderness for the express purpose OF
discovering the secret, for curari. or
urari, as it Is otherwise called. is now
thought to be Of great value in medi
cine. The professor lived two years
In Indian villages, and while he was
permitted to witness the boiling of

eral days, he could not tell what
plants went into the brew. Returning
from his baffled quest down the ANA.
zon with quantity of the poison, the
professor was met by another traveller,
Dewey Austin Cobb, who had got pos.
session Of native blowgun. The lat.
ter tells in the National Geographic
Magazine how he put some of the pro.
lessons curarf on some of his blowgun
arrows, which are like toothpicka
feathered with cotton, and tried it on
a buck deer in the forest.

hard work connected with it. NO one knows yet
who will succeed the powerful Senator Aldrich of
Rhode Island the chief of the finance committee,
a position which carries with it ordinarily the Re
publican leadership of the senate of the United
States.
A good deal of historic interest centers in some
of the committee rooms Of the senate. The pres
ent senate wing of the Capitol not completed
til the year 1859, but there several committee
rooms still located in the old part of the great build
ing. Even in the new section there are two or
three rooms which have witnessed stirring scenes.
In the room of the committee territories for in
stance, body of which Senator Beveridge of In
diana Is the chairman, there held the hearings
the Kansas-Nebraska bill and on other free or
slave soil state" matters In the room of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections, of which Sena-
tor Burrows of Michigan is the chairman, many
senators have had what might be called grand
jury hearings the question of their right to their
seats The Utah cases have been heard here, and
it was here that Senator w A. Clark of Montana ap-
peared through his counsel to try to prove that
he did not use wrongful means to secure his seat
in the senate
In the of the committee military af
fairs hundreds upon hundreds Of problems were
worked during the days of the civil war. Since
the United States has become world power Sena
tor Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman of the commit
tee the Philippines, has had many puzzling
questions on his hands, and the hearings which
have been held in this room at times have at
traeted crowds and nearly always have been of
deep interest In the Philippines room the anti
Imperialists" have argued on behalf of indepen-
denoe for the Philippine, and there have been met
in debate by men who have maintained that the

FREEDOM OF LONDON
PRESENTED TO TEDDY

A cable from London dated May
81, says that Colonel Roosevelt was
on that day presented with the free
dom of the city of London, and he
accepted the honor with a liberalism
that led him into frankness of
speech, which, it is said, caused a
sensation. He said at the old Guild
hall that it was either right or not
right for Great Britain to be in Egypt
and establish order there. If it was
not right, she should get out He
also declared that Great Britain had
given Egypt the best government
that that country had had in two
thousand years, bur in certain vital
points it had erred Timidity and
sentimentality, he claimed, might
caused more harm than violence and
Injustice. He discussed, without
seeming fear or favor, English poll
cies in numerous countries His
outspoken views sent a thrill through
the vast audience which is likely to
be felt far outside the walls of the
ancient council hall.
The parchment conveying to Mr..
Roosevelt the freedom of the city,
was contained in a beautiful gold
casket. The presentation was made
by Sir Joseph Cockfield Dimsdale,
the city chamberlain, who, extending
his hand to the city's guest, spoke
briefly. Sir Joseph dwelt particular
" on Great Britain's friendship tow
ard the United States.

FRUIT INSPECTOR GIVES
SOME TIMELY ADVICE
Jmportant Information Given for
Every Fruit Grower in the
County.

Many owners of young orchards
have applied to me for a remedy for
pear and cherry slug. Young trees
are especially troubled with this
pest. 1t lives on the young, tender
foliage and will completely strip a
tree unless it's progress is arrested.
The remedy is spray with arsenate
of lead as often as you notice them
on the trees. Young orchards should
be we'll cultivated now to retain the
moisture and keep them growing.
No tree can do well If the soil around
1t Is allowed to become baked and
hard. BY proper care young or
chard can be kept in fine condition
throughout the summer If you are
troubled with aphis spray with coal
oil emulsion. Go over your trees
If possible and look for blight. That
is the only sure way to keep it out
of your orchard. 1t is far easier to
take out one case than a hundred,
as some of our orchardists have
found out to their sorrow. A few
neglected cases will work incalcul-
able harm. Above all, do not neglect
to spray for codling moth, as you
value your fruit crop. Everyone
should have finished the third spray
ing by the 10th of the month No
wormy fruit can enter the market,
tnat is certain. In other words,
worms have no especial market value.
So don't neglect your spraying.
