BARON VON sTEUBEN.

There are exceptions to prove every rule-and that applies to Prussians as well as to everything and everybody else. For that reason there are not a few Germans, and good Americans, too, who will commemorate today the anniversary of the death of a Prus- sian-or better, an ex-Prussian, who figured as one of the heroes of the American Baron Freder- ick William Augustus Von Steuben.
 This is the 124th anniversary of Steuben's death, which occurred on his estate in Oneida county, N. -Y., given him as a reward for his assist ance in the revolution. The Baron was born in Magdenburg,- Prussia in November, 1730, and at the age of 14 served as volunteer under P, his father at the siege of Prague. Later he attained high rank in the Prussian army, and in 1762 was made a mem Der of the staff of Frederick the Great
 Baron von Steuben abandoned his honors and an ample income to come to America, arriving at Portsmouth, N. H., in November, 1777. He inn mediately offered his sword to Wash ington, joining the army at Valley Forge. Washington appointed him l inspector-general of the army with tn

ST. EUPHRASIA.

Euphrasia, who later became a saint, was taken to Egypt by her widowed mother and reared near a monastery. At the age of seven the pious child begged her mother for permission to become a nun and her mother readily assented. The latter died not long afterward, and when news of her death was carried to Emperor Theodosius he sent for Eu- pharsia, having promised her in mar riage to a favorite young senator. The young woman, however, refused the alliance, and requested that her es- tates should be divided among the poor and all her slaves set free. The emperor executed her desires shortly before his death in 395. Euphrasia warded off temptation, it is said by heavy labors, such as carrying stones from one place to another, and it is in the performance of this labor that she is usually portrayed. She was only 30 years old when she died, in the year 40.

WILLIAM OF WED.

William Frederick, Prince of Wied, and for a brief period Mpret or King of Albania, has not sent out any inVi-
 tations to attend a celebration in honor of his birthday tomorrow. The Prince has been lost in the shuffle which has eliminated the kings from Germany's political deck of cards. About two years ago he was reported to have been at Prisrend with Aus trian, German and Bulgarian troops,
 planning triumphal return to the throne to which he was elevated in 1913, and from which he was igno- miniously driven the following year. It is perhaps lucky for him that he did not regain the throne of Albania at the time, for thrones are not very popular in Europe at the present mo- ment, and neither are those who have been occupying them. Prince Will liam is a nephew of the late Queen Elizabeth of Roumania, better known as Carmen Sylva. The Prince will be AZ years old tomorrow, as he
 was born in Neuwied on Nov. 30, 1876. Until his elevation to the AL | banian throne he held the rank of CdpldAH III liIC | luSSlah al my dAu
 after he was compelled to doff his crown and flee Albania he returned to
 military service under the Kaiser. The
 Prince is the scion of a family which dates back to the thirteenth century,
 and which long ruled over the petty but independent and self-goNerning l country of Wied. This little state
 was gobbled up by Prussia a little
 more than a century ago, and since
 then the princes of Wied have been | princes in name only.

rank of major general His first eff fort was to introduce a system of dis cipline, such as prevailed in the Prus- sian forces, among Washington's dis organized troops, and prepared manual of tactics which was approved by Congress.
 After the close of the war the state of New Jersey gave me Prussian gen. eral a small farm, and. the state of New York presented him with 16,000 acres of wild land in Oneida county, l while the federal government gave him an annuity of $2,5OO. The Baron withdrew from society and established himself on his wild domain in New York state, living in little log cabin north of Utica. On his death, he be- queathed tenth of his estate to his aides, North, Popham and Walker and his servants, and distributed the remainder among his tenants. His remains were wrapped in his cloak, placed in a plain coffin, and buried | in the village of Steuben, where a monument was erected in 1926.

The attempt was made on the evening of Nov. 29, 1880, and, while 1t failed of it's object, the populace of War saw rose in revolt, and the troops fraternized with the people. The in surrection was soon suppressed, and, as result, Poland was made a Rus sian province in 1892, and all it's con- stitutional liberies were lost.
