FROM HOLLAND Another Interesting Letter From Abroad Wss Hattie Stodabakcr Tells of Htr Travels and the Places of Note and Interest. Brack's Doe ten Hotel, A raster dam, Holland. June 18, 1905. Dear Brother Dade: The last week we have been traveling rapidly. Monday morning at woven o'clock Margaret, Mrs Hyatt and I left the party at Dresden and -went to Berlin. It is only three (hours distant by fast train. The -country is flat and has mnay canals. It looks mere like Holland than the other parte of Germany. Germany is large for a European country, about the size of the state of Texas, and has a great diversity of scenery. Some parts are quite ■different from others Only everywhere many large factories new buildings and seeming prosjierity The farming is so different from ours. 1 can hardly tell you how Will have to tell you when I see you. Old methods are used and ■very little machinery Berlin is a large modern city, more like Chi cago, than any other place 1 can think of. We drove out to Charlottenburg, four miles We went through the beautiful park, called the Theirgarten We went to Charlottenburg to visit the Mauseleum, which is in a park adjoining the palace. No carriage is allowed to enter the park All must alight and walk about a quarter of a mile A wide avenue leads to the beautiful granits building, erected in the style of a Greek temple. Within are four tombs—Queen Louise, the mother of the old emperor, William 1., and her husband, Frederick 111 of Prussia, and the ■emperor William I and his wife, Augusta. On the sarcophagus of each is a marble statute, a little larger than life-size of the deceased. They are perfectly lovely, especially that of Queen Louisa. We have since seen in Cologne. Richter's famous portrait of her and realize how faithfully the sculptor portrayed her in stone, She was “ Koenigen Louise, "lying there with the drapery of her couch wrapped about her. We had a long ride about Berlin and saw all the famous buildings and statutes, for it is a city of many beautiful marble and bronze statutes and fountains. We rode through "Unter den Linden ” The trees don't amount to anything. Berlin has many streets whose trees are beautiful, but "Unter den Linden" is a fake. We enjoyed the art gallery and saw Morillo's "Saint Anthony of Padua,' which I'think one of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. But I greatly admire Murillo. We had several days in Dresden, after oui return there. Os the great pictures ■of course Raphael's "Sistine Ma. donna" ranks first, then Corregio s "Holy Night", Titian’s "Tribute Money," Huffman's "Christ in the Temple" and many other famous pictures of the old masters. I was pleased to see the original of the "Chocolate Girls ” 1* i 8 pastel picture, not large and dainty and sweet as can be imagined. Much prettier than any copies represent her. From Dresden to Mainz was an all day's ride, with changes of cars at Leipsic and Frankfort. It was very tiresome for their cars do not have as many conveniences as ours. Our trip down the Rhine was grand. All day we sat on deck and watched the windings of the river as we steamed past towns and vinyards, castles and fortresses. The scenery is not finer than onour Hudson, but the great charm comes from the historic asooiations —the wealth, of history, of poetry, of legend and of song which clothes

it with a mantle of romance We left the river at Cologne. We were several times in the great oa thedral which is one of the largest and I think the most beautiful one 1 have seen in Europe Next to the cathedral the art gallery claimed cur attention. From Cologne we came to Amsterdam It was a vey hot, dusty, uncomfortable journey. Not a drop of water could be obtained on the train or at the stations, and we really suffered from thirst. Now we are in Holland and like it very much indeed Margaret s German was a great help to us in Germany. She could talk quite well. None of ua can talk Dutch, but that ia no d ffionlty. Many of the English people talk it It ia taught in the public schools now, I am told. Hattie Studabaker ARE SPARRING Peace Envoys Busy’with Their Troubles Japan wants to be Reimbursed for the Cost of Their >ar with Russia. Portsmouth. Mass., August 11— i There is general cause for congratulation that the Japanese did not use the word indemnity, in their discussion, but in its place the word "reimbursement” was used Japan demands that they be reitn bursed the cost of the "war, the amount of which is to be mutually determined'after peace is declared At this time the amount could only be estimated. They also demand the session of the Isand of Satkhalin. These two demands are officially known. The amount of the reimbursement not being Indicated, it leaves it open for discus’ sion. ■y United Prase News Association. St. Petersburg, August 11—Allis speculation here on how the czar feels concerning Japaanese terms, which ware received about mid night. The czar was awaiting them, and a conference was hurriedly called this morning. It is thought possible the czar's instructions and reply will be wired tonight, and that Envoy Witte will be able to form a reply by Saturday. Os course Russia will not accept the terms in their entirety as presented, and it is not believed that the Japanese expect this. Portsmouth, Mass , August 11— Everything here now’bends in anxious expectancy on word from St. Petersburg. The Russians spent the day figuring, while the Japanese enjoyed outings in small parks Both the Russians and the Japs seem determined to draw tighter the lines about proceedings limiting the public information to what is given out by the commission officially. Special Telegram To The Democrat Portsmouth, Mass.,'August 11— Unless an agreement is reached by the p?aoe envoys, the demands of Japan for the settlement of the war are not to be made public officially. This is due to a tacit understanding between the two governments. Russia is manifesting a desire to take the public into confidence, believing that publicity would win her sympathy. Services Saturday. By United Press News Association. New Orleans, La., August 11— Later in the day by arrangements of Father Scotti with Surgeon White, it was decided to hold still further ceremonies over Archbishop Chapelle on Saturday, when services will be conducted and gone through with in a more befitting manner for a man of his rank.

MORE DRASTIC Need Modern Legislation to Curb Trusts President Roosevelt Talks of His Foreign and Domestic Policy at Chatauqua Meeting. By United Prae* Naws Association. Jamestown, N. Y., August 11— President Roosevelt arrived this morning and was taken to the Chautauqua in a private traction car. Notwithstanding the early hour thousands were at the station to greet him After breakfast in Memorial Hall, the president was taken for a tour of the ground. He I will*return to Oyster Bay late this afternoon, after making an address By United Press News Association. Jamestown. N Y., August 11— The president's address this afternoon was taken up in discussion of * C. a FasaXDKXT aooaxvxt* his foreign and domestic policy, and inoidentally'conoerning the big corporations. In speaking of how foreign reverence has grown toward the Monroe doctrine, he said, "This is due to our growing willingness to show not only we mean what we say, but that we are prepared to back it up and at the same time recognize our obligations to foreign powers. Now let it be understood that no just government need fear from us and under no circumstrance will this country use the Monroe doctrine as a cloak in territorial aggrandizement.” Os trusts he said: It is my conviction that in some oases against trusts such as that of at least certain beef packers, who were recently indicted in Chicago it is impossible to longer show them lienienoy. Moreover there should be further and more modern legislation on this subject. If the legislation was more drastic than I prefer it to be it is because of the stubborn determination of these trusts themselves. At the same time I would advise against haste, lest we find ourselves going in the wrong direction. TO ROCKFORD Ira Steele to Move There Where he has Bought a Restaurant. Ira Steele, living a short distance from Pleasant Mills, will give a sale of all his farming machinery, stock and other personal property, and will go to Rockford, Ohio, where he will engage in the restaurant business. All arrangements to this effect has been made, and before long he will be a full-fledged citizen of this Ohio fawn. Mr. Steele has been one of the substantial citizens of Adams county for a numbei of years, and has many friends here who will wish him well in his new mercantile undertaking. Rockford is a good town, and Jhe will no doubt do well.

AN INQUEST Henry Deimer Deranged Through Excess of Alcohol. Henry Deimer, who was arrested yesterday afternoon by Policeman Sam Franks and turned loose in the evening was picked up again last night by Sheriff Butler and taken to jail upon the same charge as his former offense, that of being demented, and giving an exhibition of pole climbing on the Boston Store corner. The insanity board, composed of Drs Beavers, Miller and D. D Clark and 'Squire Smith, held an inquest last evening at the jail,'and, although they found some symptoms of insanity, there was not enough to warrant sending him to Richmond. The doctors are all of the opinion that if Deimer would leave drink alone be would be all right. They recommended that he be kept in jail* several days and he would be all right again.

COME IN I Postal Cards Being Now Sent Out The Adams County Detective Association to be Organized Here Wednesday. Sheriff Butler within the next day or two will mail out postals to all those who signed the articles of agreement of the Adams County Detective Association. The postals convey the information that the organization of this association will take place in the court room in this city on next Wednesday, August 16. A state organizer will be here and bring to life this auxliary. whose mission on earth is to hunt down and run to earth every son of-a-gun that steals a horse. These county societies where they have been instituted have proven of value. It creates a fund for carrying on the work, which is expensive, no matter how much economy is practiced. This has heretofore been the greatest drawback. It usually costs as much to capture a horse thief as the stolen property is worth, and this fact causes a hesitation by those whom misfortune has visited The attendance at this meeting the 16th should be large and the proper interest should be given that will make this county association an important one. The horse thief has done his work here, and enough of it to cause the farmers and others to want to properly defend themselves. FROM PHOENIX Hattie Moore is Reported as Resting Easier. Mrs. Charles Moore, who is visiting here with relatives, received a letter this morning, from her bus band, who is at Phoenix, Arizona, which was written Sunday morning, stating that his sister, Miss Hattie, was resting easier, and was 'somewhat improved. It also stated that T. R. Moore was expected there; Thursday morning, when arrangements would be made to bring the young lady home. A letter or some word is now being daily expected from f. R Moore, telling the condition of his daughter, and what the arrangements are about returning here. 1

GO TO “A Reader” Handed a Few Mild Ones Frank B. Porter Resents the Suspicious Inquiries About His Marriage. Special Correspondence. Geneva. Ind , August 11—Frank B Porter, keenly appreciating the fact that "A Reader," is very much interested in his domestic affairs, even going so far as to inquire into the legality of his marriage, wishes through the Democrat, to state for the benefit of "A Reader” that the marriage of Miss Lillie Blackmore to Frank B Porter, which was performed at Center ville. Mich., on July 20, I*os, was strictly legal in every respect and that "A Reader," who it appears, has a propensity of sticking "its” nose into other people s affairs need not feel the least alarmed about the matter For the further benefit of i"A Reader" Miss Blackmore, who "A Reader” will now recognize as Mrs. Porter, probably never knew that there was sucu a place as Schum, Ohio. She never lived in Ohio. Her parents live in Ceylon, Ind., but she, for some time past has lived in Portland with her sister. Now, Mr. Porter wishes it announced, if "A Reader" will only come to him, he will tell it several more facts concerning the mar riage whi.h will further nroave that it was legal and, after he satisfies all curiosity on that point he will tell a few more facts, which will show what he thinks of "A Reader's" talent of "butting in.” Mr. Porter was advised to tell “A Reader" to go to that place where they never cut ice, but Frank is too thorough a gentleman for that, and being a gentleman, he has many friends who feel the insult, as they consider it, made by "A Reader," and are justly incans ed over it. If “A Reader” can not keep out of other people's business "it” had better kill itself and thus confer a favor on the public. An effort is being made to get a special train over thefG.R. & 1., to Decatur next Tuesday to carry the crowd of Geneva fans who want to see the Bluffton-Decatur ball game. Os course the Grand Rapids company, that company which has such a wide spread reputation of being a most aocommudating gang, has not seen fit as yet to reply to the word sent them asking the price of a train, but in the event that they should and if their price is at all reasonable, it is more than likely that the train will be secured, and that several hundred rooters from here amt* Berne will attand the game. If a crowd like this does descend on Decatur, {life will be miserable for awhile at least. Word from the railroad company is anxiously awaited here.

Mrs. Sim Acker, who has been confined to her home by sickness during the past few weeks seems to be some better, and her present condition seems very favorable for recovery. This will be very welcome news to the many friends of Mrs Acker, who are hoping to know that she has completely recovered. Condition Critical. •pedal Telegram To The Democrat Hartford City, Ind., August 11— The condition of Speaker Cantwell took a turn for the worse today. His condition is critical. Mr. Cantwell has been hovering between life and death for two weeks, and many times during this peroid he has not been expected to live from one day to the next. At this time Jail hope has been abandoned, and his death is motuenlarilly expected. ■

LEGAL BATTLE Grand Rapids Railroad in a Contest I 1 I Mrs. Henry Mayer Causes a Railroad Employee’s Arrest for the Charge t of Trespass t r II Louis Collins a brakesman on t the Grand Rapids railway was ar- , rested last evening by Marshal I Green on ajcharge of trespassing, the affidavitjiaving been filed by Mrs. Henry Mayer. Collins was arraigned before 'Squire Smith last night and entered a plea of not } guilty, and his oase was set for hearing August 18. The ciroum B stances surrounding this proceed are are of a peculiar nature, and the company wiil no doubt fight the r case to the bitter end It seems that several years ago when Miller t & Williams were engaged in run ning a stone quarry in the north part of the city that they secured a lease from Jacob Yager, Henry Mayer and Kirsch & Sellemeyer for i the purpose of running a switch > track from the Grand Rapids to the > stone quarry This lease was I given for ten years, which time 1 has not yet expired, and the railroad s sidetrack is still upon this 1 land. About three months ago Williams, who was Milller’s partner, in the stone quarry, and who was instrumental in securing the lease, assigned his right in the lease to Mrs. Henry Mayer, who a few months ago became the rightful owner of the property by the right of purchase. After coming into possession of the property Mrs Mayer served a notice on the Grand Rapids railroad not to deliver any more cars or goods on this spur unless they paid her the sum of eighty dollars a year for the use of the land. This the company refuse to do, and during the past several weeks the railroad has been running freight up on this sidetrack for the interurban company. Mrs. Mayer noticing this fact, filed an affidavit for trespass, and last night Collins, while engaged in running several cars ou this track was arrested and brought before the 'squire. The attitude of the oompaany is this, that no party can take the rights from them by assignment and that the only time they will cease to use the spur is when their lease rune out. The case will make a nice legal battle. Buried Today. Special Telegram To The Democrat New Orleans, August 11—The body of Archbishop Chapelle was laid to rest today, after solemn mass. The burial was advanced one day, owing to the situation. —
