F0ILED PLAN FOR ALLIANCE
How Bismarck Frustrated Neeotia-
tions Which Had Been Opened Be-
tween France and Austria.

An incident from Mr.. G. G. Robert
sons life of Bismarck throws inter
esting light on the mTnethodicaI way in
which Bismarck worked out his state
policies. 1t concerns the negotiations
opened between France and Austria
after 1866 for an alliance against
Prussia. Emperor Francis Joseph had
emerged from the Seven Weeks war
desirous of revenge and with substan-
tial forces still intact. Napoleon met
Francis Joseph at Salzburg and few
weeks later the Austrian emperor trav-
eled to France with his military suite
and gave orders that the imperial
train should stop nowhere On German
soil, and, in particular, that it should
pass the South German courts at night
in order to avoid embarrassing inter-
views.
Nothing marred the mOnarch's peace
of mind until, In the dead of night, the
train approached the German frontier
near Baden-B2den; there it suddenly
came to q standstill. The aide-de-
camp, on inquiring for the reason, was
shown a lonely figure wrapped In
dark military cloak standing in a
pouring rain. The stranger wanted to
speak to the Emperor Francis Joseph.
Who was he? 1t was King William of
Prussia!
Thus, on a dark September night in
1857, did the emperor of Austria and
the king Of Prussia meet for the first
time since Koniggratz. The interview
lasted several hours and took place in
the rear carriage of the imperial train.
What PASSED is not known but the
writer Is satisfied that William of
Prussia asked Francis Joseph not to
betray the German cause, and warned
him Of the forthcoming Franco-German
war On reaching Paris Emperor Fran
els Joseph proved adamant to the
most tempting offers Of alliance. The
incident remained q secret; a few local
papers referred to it as merely a slight
mishap to the imperial train Youths
Companion.

CROssVLLE. TENNESSEE. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 10, Ie9

that Of Ierne, Iouernia or Erin. Gaze
sar does not use the word Albion; his
name for England was Britannia.
Pliny says: "The name of the island
was Albion the whole set of islands
being called Britannia" The word
"Albion" is still the only name by
which the Gaels of Scotland designate
that country; and the word signifies
in the Gaelic language, white or fair
island. The word "alb" itself is not
now in use in Gaelic, but is probably
the same root that we find in the Lat
in adjective "al-bus," and In the word
"Alps." The name of Albion was prob
ably given to England by the Gaels
of the opposite coast, who could not
fail to be struck by the chalky cliffs
that characterized the nearest part
of Kent. Some authors derive It from
Albion, son of Neptune by Abphritite,
who according to the fabulous story
went into Britain, established king
dom and first introduced astrology and
the art of building ships. He was killed
at the mouth of the Rhone with stones
thrown by Jupiter, because he op-
posed the passage of Hercules.

Bulgaria Land Of Roses.

If one visits the rose fields Of Bull

morning he will find the peasant fork
busy gathering roses. Evewone who
can goes to the fields to pick roses.
The picturesque costumes amid the
blooms of roses look very beautiful to
one standing on hilltop overlooking
the sea of flowers.
The roses are gathered while the
dew is still fresh upon them, because
the roses yield more altar if gathered
before the heat Of the sun dries out
the leaves. AS the baskets are filled
with open and half-open buds and
blossoms they are taken to the distil-
lery nearby, where the altar Is dis
titled.

ELECTRIC LIGHT ORDINANCE
What It Was Before and After Being
Amended by City Fathers.

There has been considerable discus
sion relative to the ordinance govern
ing electric lights for the town. While
it is reasonable to assume that every
person in Crossville is very deslrous of
having electric lights in the town, it
was felt by the board of mayor and
aldermen that the original draft as
presented did not sufficiently safe
guard the interests of the town.
The main amendents added by the
city fathers consist of the following IN
substance The privilege is to termln-
ate at the end of ten years, whereas
the light company wished the privilege
granted for twenty years. The CON-
pany "shall never be consolidated,
leased, assigned or otherwise allienated
without the express cons ent of said
town." Unless a plant of sufficient
power to supply all needs for light and
power is enstalled within five years
their privilege shall cease. The light
company is to mold the city harmless
from any dangers that may result
from damages through accident by
the wires, etc., of the company. The
foregoing was not part of the ordi
nance as first introduced.
1t is specified that the ordinance is
not to become effective until it is ex-
cepted in writing by the Electric
Light Cor Dany. The company has
not as yet accepted it but as it Is
going aheat putting up wires it is
reasonable u assume they intend to
do so.
Or NANCE NO. 81.

Left the Secretary Guessing.

The following story Is told of the
late Joaquin Miller, the poet of the
Sierras." A certain club desired the
poet to address an annual meeting,
for which an elaborate program had
been prepared. The secretary wrote
a letter to Miller, telling him of the
purpose of the gathering and request
ing his cooperation. In due time
there came an answer from the poet.
1t was in his own hand and covered
four pages. In vain the secretary puz-
zled over the manuscript. He passed 1t
on to the president, the board of di-
rectors and the members In turn, but
all failed to decipher the scrawl. The
question before the club was, HAS
Miller accepted or has he declined?"
The secretary finally sent the follow
ing note to the poet: MY Dear Mr..
Miller-Your letter received, but ]
have been unable to determine wheth-
er you have accepted or declined our
invitation. If you will be present on
the date mentioned will you kindly
make cross at the bottom of this
letter? If it will be impossible for
you to appear, will you kindly draw q
circle?p In due time the letter came
back, but the secretary could not de-
eide whether the poet had drawn
cross or circle!

l.. 7. Thurman and Roy Jackson. A
small payment has been made to bind
the trade, and the stock will be in
voiced Monday and the deal finally
closed Tuedasy.
The purchasers arc active and ener-
getic young men who enjoy the conf
dence and respect of our people to a
high degree and there is every reason
why they should make the business a
pronounced success. Mr.. Thurman
will continue to conduct his garage
business and does not contemplate de-
voting much of his time to the store.
Mr.. jackson will devote his entire time
to it.
1t will be remembered that +. X.
Washburn sold his farm near Pomona
q few months ago and purchased the
business that had been conducted for
several wears very successfully by W.
+. Bandy. While the business has
proved satisfactory to MIR. Wash
burn he has several openings offered
him in Chicago that he teels will
prove more profitable than to remain
here. He and wife will leave for
Chicago so soon as the business trans
fer is completed. They are most ex-
cellent people and it is with much re-
gret that many of our people will see
them go away.
