The New Philipplnss.

The Philippines is q name famil-
lar in American ears, but few know
that the title Of the "New Philip
pines" was once given to a large area
Of American soil. The first settle
ment in what is now Texas was
made by French immigrants in the
year 1855. During the next twen-
ty-five years there was an intermit-
tent struggle between the French
and the Spanish for supremacy, re-
sulting in favor of the latter, and in
1914 the name of the "New Philip
pines" was given to the country.
This was it's official name in Span
ish records for many years and until
the name Of Texas, from a tribe Of
Indians. gradually came into vogue.

FAME OF KoPENlcK.
Two Curious Events In the History Of
the German City.

the German City.
"'The town of Kopenick, situated
ten miles southwest of the German
is built on an island formed
by the confluence of the rivers
Dahme and Spree" says a bulletin
of the National Geographical socie-
ty. "The history of Kopenick goes
back to the middle a.es. 1t is said
to have been the residence of the
Slavic Prince Jaczo in the twelfth
century and hundred years later
came into the possession of the mar
grave of Brandenburg.
':Kopenick has been the scene of
two unique events-one tragic and
the other highly farcical, but both
having military setting. The first
was the trial of Frederick the Great.
then crown prince, in 1890, and the
other the laughable escapade of the
captain Of Kopenick.'
ut was in the royal palace of the
electors of Brandenburg that the
unhappy Frederick was courtmar-
tailed by order of his father, King
Frederick William l. His offensc
was his attempt to escape from the
malevolent persecution of the king
Lieutenant Katie, one of the two
Prussian officers who had tried to
assist the prince in reaching the
English court, was condemned to
two years Imprisonment, but the
irate father, in order to set an ex-
ample to his son, had the sentence
changed to the death penalty, and
the unhappy officer was beheaded
before the window of the eighteen
year-old royal youth. After this
tragic spectacle the boys spirit was
broken for a time, whereupon his
own death sentence was committed
to a period of nominal imprison-
ment for more than a year.
"The captain Of Kopenick' cpl
sode is in pleasing contrast to the
foregoing grim incident. Not so
many years ago daring young shoe
maker, Voigt, secured the uniform
Of a Prussian captain, put it on,
went to the barracks and command
ed company of soldiers to follow
him to the Office of the mayor, de-
claring that he (Voigt) had been or
dered to arrest the magistrate for
malfeasance in Office. The funds Of
the city were seized by the sham
army officer, who quickly escaped
with his booty. He was caught,
however, and paid for his practical
joke on the Prussian army with a
long term Of imprisonment"
