! portant Happenings In the
u German Empire.

Kaiser Wilhelm Is expected to issue
an order to the effect that q man who
declines q challenge to q duel from
religious motives shall not be prose-
cuted. Such an order will no doubt
tend to check the custom of Dwelling.
Kaiser Wilhelm has announced that
he is going to establish a children's
home In one Of the healthiest .locali-
ties on the Baltic sea. Every year 800
workingmen's children will be cared
for at the institution. Miss Mathilde
Kirshner. Berlin lady, is to be at
the head of the home.
The central station at Frankfort,
which has heretofore held the record
for size among the railway terminals
In Germany, must now give place to
the station at Leipsic, which has just
been completed. This station has cost
$34,000,000, an outlay represented not
SO much by ornament and decoration
as by enormous size for The accom-
mediation of freight as we'll as pas
senger traffic.
museum of Vienna made a magnificent
historic find in cave at st. Karzian.
in the Horst mountains. The expe-
dition found almost one thousand
bronze dishes, swords, axes, spear
heads, etc., which are at least 5000
years old. The objects lay in 150-
foot chasm in the cave, and they are
supposed to have been thrown there
rs sacrifices to some underground

The Duchess Of Hohenberg, morgan
attic wife of Archduke Franz Ferdi-
nand of Austria, who is heir to the
throne, has asked the pope to use his
influence with Kaiser Franz Josef to
obtain for her the full rank accorded
her husband. 1t is learned on reliable
authority that the pope has instructed
Mgr. Scapinelli, the new papal nuncio
at Vienna, to confer with the kaiser
on the matter. The nuncio is very apt
to succeed, for the duchess has won
the good will of the aged monarch.
London.-It is reported that the
kaiser has sent a special invitation,
which has been accepted to the prince
of Wales to spend his summer holi-
days next year at Potsdam. There

| A funeral at Zurawica, Hungary,
came to a most unexpected close.
Georg Mosny, rich farmer, was to
be buried. The parson said the last
prayer at the open grave and the pail
bearers were about to lower the COT
fin into the grave. Suddenly the cover
! of the coffin was seen to move and
means and cries for help were heard.
4 A terrible panic seized the relatives.
The coffin was ia ken up again. and
the man who was supposed to be dead,
who looked pale and exhausted, was
taken out. Mosny regained his
strength fast, and he was even able
to walk home without assistance! It

coroner, that had declared Masny to
be dead.
London.-A general conference for
the purpose of promoting better I'm.
derstanding between England and Ger.

It is being organized by a special
committee representing the National
Peace council, the British-G German
Friendship society, and the Council OF
British churches "A number of in.
fuential Germans are coming over to
take part in the conference" said Dr.
T. Evans Darby, member of the com
mittee, "and we hope through the
presentation of their views materially
to influence public opinion. Our one
aim is to do all we can to remove the
cloud of misunderstanding which in
the past admittedly has led to the
verge Of war"
The Germans are carefully consid
ering the proposition of taking part
in the San Francisco exposition. Ger
many has thrice taken part in inter
national expositions in the United
States without direct adequate re
turns, an exhibit worth more thar
