Asheville Citizens.
The other. night there was shot
down in cold blood an American
citizen who had dared to openly
charge the police system OF New
York with the rottenness with
which it has reeked for hall a cen.
tury. 1t is true that Herman
Rosenthal was gambler, self

1t filled with his tribe, and the
police trust of New York shares

Never Knew his Mother but Through

His Life He Missed Her.
Editor Mike Heherington, in his
paper, (the Lakeland Fla. Tele-
graph on Mothers Day, paid
the following tribute to his moth
er whom he meyer knew save in
infancy: "He never knew her.
His coming into the world was
the signal of her going forth. A
tew brief days she clasped him to |
her heart-the heart whose Last
heats were most for him; then
ere the baby eyes had learned to
look with recognition upon her.
she kissed them-and closed her
own forever. Vaguely through
lite he missed her. Times. az a
boy, when the night wind moan
Cd outside, and within fantastic
figures and shapes offear formed
in the darkness, he covered be-
meath the covers OF his cot and
wept passionately for something
that he wanted but could not
name-though afterward he knew
that the thing he craved was shel
teriug mother loye. His play
mates had ever a source of nn-
failing love and sympathy from
which he saw them copiously and
continually draw; and hefelt that
the Fates had left something ont
of the scheme of his life, and in
the midst of the buoyancy OF
youth his eyes would grow visit
iul and his heart be sad. Then d
nan-and sometimes, after the
struggle OF the day when came
; the quiet hour-musing DER food
and fell or gazing far out into
the sad and solemn sea-he would
dream ot the land beyond the set
ting sun-of the mystic glories
which Eye hath not sren-and OF
her who loved him first. Others
came and crept into his heart
and filled in with love that was
almost pain; but in its innermost
holy OF holies he kept ever a
chamber iuviolate tor the mother
he never knew. And it pleased
him to belieye that. though he
saw her not, she walked through

made her presentce telt in sweet
suggestion OF kindly deed, in Vi
lent STRINGS of the heart that
turned him from temptations

ASSOclateu FreSS.
Berlin, September, 25.-Prince
Henry of Prussia has taken the mi
~tiative in regard to German partici-
patton in the GermantAmerican
"sonder-class" yacht races. which
were won by the American boats at
Kiel last year and which are to be
repeated at Marblehead in 1913. At
a meeting of yachtsmen called by
him, steps to bring out a large field
of German challengers were taken.
The d~esirability Of sending over
three types of boat, one for light
winds, one for moderate breezes and
one for heavy weather, was recogniz-
ed, and yachtsmen planning to order
new yachts for the International
struggle were asked to communicate
with the Sonder-Class Committee of
the Imperial Yacht Club so that the
new craft should be divided as even
ly as possible among the three class
es.
Slight hopes for success are enter
tanned, as the German designers
have not so far as produced a single
boat markedly superior to those de-
feated last year., while American pro-
gress is taken for granted.

An imposing list of army generals
has been detailed to participate in
the naval manoeuvres in the North
Sea this autumn aboard the battle
fleet. They are headed by Field-Mar-
shall Won der GoltZ, reorganiZer Of the
Turkish army and Germany's first
st%rategist, who, it is generally as
sumed, would command the German
forces if var were to break out; and
include Gen. Won Moltke, chief of
the German general staff; Gen. Won
Heeringen, minister Of war; Gen.
Mudra, chief of the Engineer Corps
and inspector-general of fortifica-
tons; Gen. Gallwitz, inspector-gen-
eral of field artillery and the COM
handing generals of the third, fourth
and nineteenth army corps.
The assignment of so distinguished
a party of officers to the naval ma
noeuvres indicates that more emphas-
is is now laid upon the cooperation
of the army and navy in a possible
future war than before was the case,
and it will undoubtedly cause pertur-
baton in England among those
preaching the possibility of a Ger
man invasion of Great Britain under
cover Of the strengthened German
fleet.

a monumental gateway and doors in
artistic wrought iron, is now on ex-
hibition at the Berlin Academy. The
work was produced in compliance
with the resolution unanimously
adopted at the Second Peace Confer
ence in 1908, calling on the govern

vention to contribute toward the
Peace Palace building material or
decorative objects typical of each
country's industry or products.

Labor unrest in Germany has
spread rapidly in the last twenty
years. Figures show occasional recess
sions, but on the whole the labor
wars increased steadily up to 1911.
In that year, although the number
of strikes and of firms affected in
creased only about 80 per cent. the
number of workmen affected jumped
from 1873, S21 in 1910 to 277,345, an
increase of more than 107 per cent.
In 1891 there were but two strikes
in the metal trades. involving two
factories and only 1914 men. In 1909
there were 90 strikes, involving 622
factories and 3,54S men. There was a
slight recession in 1901, but in 1902
5,017 men were. on strike and the
number trebled the succeeding year
and had risen to 1882 in 1906. In
1908 and 1909 the figures dropped
surprisingly to about 10000, the only
recessions of Importance in the TWEEN
ty-year period.
