ninetieth year. Mr. Villiers is a remarkable example of longevity in a class not altogether famous for length of ' days. In one sense, he has always been a man about town. Probably no man lias dined oat so often, and no ono of his rank has passed so many days in London. Mr. Villiers is not a teetotaler or abstainer. ' Ho it in fairly good health, still remark able for mental activity, which in earlier years used to rind pleasant exercise in a xery large privato corresoondence. If some of those who hare long enjoyed his friendship including the late Queen of Holland and ir.Iohn Lambert hare preserved his letters, and they should hereafter be made public, the world will recognize in Mr. Villiers one of the most incisive and interesting letter writers of the centary which his life has almost spanned. Born m 1ST2. Mr. Villiers has a clear recollection of the receipt of the news of Waterloo, and was reaching mature age when the first reform bill was passed. He has made no sign of withdrawing from Wolverhampton. And will probably be the only unopposed dissentientmembcrof the House of Commons.

Germany and the World's Fair. Copyright. 1S01.DT the New York Asoclatrd Press. 1 Berlin, Jan. 10. In tho course of the discussion in the Reichstag on the question of a grant for a German exhibit at the Chicago Columbian exhibition. In 1893, Dr. Van Rottenberg, secretary to the Chancellor, said that while a large number of manufacturers in some trades, such as the silk and leather trade, would bo represented at the fair, others, notably the owners of Iron-works, had rerused to send exhibits. This, Dr. Von Kottenberg said, was a wrong policy, and especially In view of the German interests In the fouth American trade, which trade the United states government Is now aiming to obiln tf r r A aAtnpli m pairfaa a a (Ha principles of the Monroe deotrine. German manufacturers, he declared, would best consult their own Interests by sending exhibits to Chicago, where their products would be seen by t-outh American and other traders throughout the world. Tho ill-feeling entertained against America on account of the McKlnley bill was all wrong. Every state hid a right to protect Us own Interests. Other speakers took similar views, and the grant was passed unanimously. Prince Louis Bonaparte Released. Loxdox, Jan. 16. Prince Louis Clovls Bonaparte, who, ontbe complaint of his first wlfo , ' Rosalie Bonaparte, was arrested on the charge of conspiring to defraud her of Jewelry valued at X 20,000, was again arraigned in court to-day. At the previous hearing bail In the sum of 5,000 ' was demanded, bat to-day the magistrate reduced the amount to 1,000, and the prisoner was released, the mother ol Prince Bonaparte becoming his security. Mr. Rosalie Bonaparte, from whom Prince Louis Clovls Bonaparte Is trying to secure a divorce, alleges fiat her husband has given her Jewelry to his second wile, formerly Misa Laura Elizabeth fccott. Spain Too Poor to Exhibit. Madrid, Jan. 16. The energy and activity of Mr. Little, agent for the Chicago fair to the government and people of Spain, have so far been . powerless to move the Spanish government to action In behalf of a proper representation. . With army officers and soldiers, teachers and other public employes unpaid, the government Is bewildered by any proposition of outside expenditure. Every penny that comes into the treasury Is clamored for from a dozen sources. It Is clear that much co-operation need not be looked for from traders and manufacturers. So ropery" Feeling at Oxford. EOXDOX, Jan. 16. The local press of Oxford Is flooded with protests against the project to erect a statue of Cardinal Xewmanln a publio place In the vicinity of the university. Theextent of the "o Popery" feeling exhibited Is rather surprising to thoso who have accustomed themselves to regard bigotry as on the decline in England. A favorite form of protest in connection with the subject Is that It would be especially inappropriate to honor a Catholic predate on the spot where Cranmer and Uldley were burned at the stake. Dual by Moonlight. Crrr or Maxico, Jan. 16. A duel took place by moonlight last night between Carlos Esperza, a discharged prison official, and Innocencio Arriola. of the editorial stall of the Dlaro del llocasu.

Tho Rhino wine-growers are making elaborate preparations for an adequate exhibition of their products at the Chicago fair. Among other features of their display will be the erection of cafes where the numerous brands of the vintages peculiar to the Rhino country will be dispensed. The Flight of the Wild Geese. roTest and Stream. We have often wondered, and probably many others have, also, why tho sight of a noble flock of wild geeso on the wing will , tsnd thrill thiowia cvety nerve in one's

system. If the flock is near to a sportsman the feeling is nothing strange. When ho, in his excitement, quickly grasps his shot gun or his trusty rule for the purpose of piving them a shot it is very plain to every one present that in him the ardor of the true hnnter is fully aroused, and his love for sport then comet forth in its full strength. But when the Dock is far beyond the reach of the longest-ranged rifleshot, and the angle made by those converging lines is grandly cutting its way through the blue on a course straight as an arrow toward the south, or if in springtime, toward the unknown lands far to the north, even then at the sight that same thrill comes over one. be he sportsman or not, and one will stop to watch the dock with all eagerness, and to listen to its resonant honk, honk, until the sight and sound of the flying angle is lost in the distance. In that thrilling sensation due to the natural feeling of the hnnter. a feeling latent in the breast of nearly every member of the human family, civilized or savage, which then comes over the watcherf Or is it owing to a slight momentary development of the germs of that state of unrest that through all past ages has impelled man onward to wander by sea or land over the face of the earth and to make discoveries and settlements in the uttermost parts of itl Or is it due to some other cause? Who can tell?

TROUBLE AT COAL CREEK. Miners Reported to Be Preparing to Attack the Soldiers Who Guard the Convicts. Knox villi:, Tenn., Jan. 1C At 11 o'clock to-night alarming reports are received from Coal Creek. A man just in from Keathlyon alatetrain eays the miners to tho number of two thousand are assembling on the mountain overlooking the soldiers' camp with a view of making an attaok. At 11:30 a telegraph operator in the. camp telegraphed that many miners were massing on the mountain and that there had been some firing by the pickets. The miners were doing a good deal of shooting, but at that time no one bad been hurt. The camp was in much confusion, expecting an attack, but the men were in good trim to hold the fort at all costs. The operator then said he would investigate and report, but at ll:St nothing further bad been beard from him. To-day was pay-day at Coal Creek and some persons bad been predicting trouble. A number of miners from Blocton, Ala., went to Coal Creek last night and this morning one of them, who was drinking', said they were going out there to "clean up" the militia. At this hour (11:53 r. M.) the wires seem to be np and working. Something definite is expected every moment. The fact that the wires have not been cut is construed to mean no trouble, and' what firing has taken place by the miners is simply frr demonstration to harass the troops. Should the wires be cut it may be taken for granted that there is trouble. WILL PLAY WITH LOUISVILLE, Williams Boys an Interest In the Club and Will Take rfefier with Him. Louisville, Jan. 16. Fred Pfeffer will play second base for Louisville next year. George Williams, of Chicago, came here last night and to-day bought an interest in the Louisville clnb and a saloon, and made an agreement with the Louisville directors that Pfeffer should receive 26,000 for playing here next year. Five thousand dollars salary and $1,000 bonus. The olaims of St. Louis and New York that Pfeffer bad been signed to play in those cities and the impression that Pfeffer had been assigned to Chioago at the Indianapolis meeting prove to be withont foundation. It was arranged there that Pfeller was to play wherever Williams desired. This was one of the situations in selling. Pferfer will captain the Louisville team. Louis ville is Pfeller's home and he owns a row ot houses here. Chapman to-day also signed Canavan and II ess. Brown has acknowledged his obligation to play here, and Grim will sign next week.

Concluded from First Page. judges of the Supreme Court of the United States and should say when be was back in Chili that Justice Brown or Justice Brewer made him sign a paper that he could not read. If we are knaves we are not fools. Is it reasonable that any court of Chili, even though that court were acting in -what yon call 'star chamber session, would tamper with tbe testimony of an American, which it was to forward to the American government, knowing that the man was to return to his country and have the privilege of giving his testimony in person to that same government? Bah! If the judge had made tbe sailors sign some paper, and then had killed the sailors, it might have done. 1 know the sailors have testified different to this government, but I tell you since it narrows down to a question of veracity between an American sailor and the court of Chili, tho former are in it no longer. It is like a question of veracity between Justice Brewer and a Chilian sailor between two men, a judge and a sailor. Now, answer me, which has most at stake!" "If this is the view you take of it, Senor Montt. how do you account for the apparent determination of the United States to go to war with Chili!'' I don't. Your press and your politicians are ambitions, perhaps; may be: I do not know: 1 cannot say. . The English-speaking people in Chili are mainly English subjects. The Americans who have been ill-treated there are mainly Irish, perhaps; may be; I cannot say." LOOKS WARLIKE. The Old Monitor Montank to Be Pot in Fighting Condition at Once. Philadelphia, Jan. lfi. Orders have been received at League Island navy-yard to put in proper condition and get ready for sea the monitor Montauk, which, in naval parlance has been "laid np in ordinary" on tbe Delaware river front, moored to the monitor... wharf since 1&3. The Montauk was built during the war of the rebellion and served during the latter part of that struggle in the naval campaign on the Mississippi river. She has a single revolving turret, in which are mounted two fifteen-inch rifled guns, which are formidable weapons for nso in coast and harbor defense.7 The lirat thing necessary will be to place tbe Montank on the dry-dock, and preparation for doing so will be be sun to-morrow. The dock needs slight repairs, and in order that it may be in readiness to be pumped out and receive the monitor a force of men employed in the construction department of the yard will be obliged to give up their Sunday holiday and set tho dock in condition. There are two other monitors at Leagne Island the v Nabant and tbe Jason. They are similar to the Montauk in construction and armament. They have both been recently docked and had their bottoms cleaned and painted. It is understood that as soon as the Mont an It's machinery has been connected and made ready for operation, similar wort will bo done on the Nahant and Jason. Can Get Plenty of Coal at Acapnloo. Ban Diego, Cah, Jan. 18. Admiral Brown was asked last night for his opinion on the report that a vessel had been chartered by the government to take a cargo of coal from Kanaimo to Chili. He said be did not believe a word ot it; that the governmsnt would not take coal there except under stress of circumstances. "We can get all the coal we want at Acapulco and in Pern." he said, "and it is absurd to think that the government would go away up to Nanalmo." With reference to the probable future movements .of the crolter.tho Admiral would not admit that he know anything as to the future. The Baltimore, Charleston and Ban Francisco are under orders to await further instructions. That was all. Big Shipment of Gnn-Cotton. Newtoht, R. L. Jan. 16.

Van Tassel, of New York, Loses About 8200,000 One Man Perishes in the Flames. New York. Jan. 16. E. M. Van Tassel'a bite grain eleyator and -warehouse, corner of Thirteenth' atenoe and WestElerenth street, m destroyed by fire this morning, together with the old stables of the Knickerbocker Ice Company, on Bank street, involving a loss of about $200,000. Van Tassel's elevator was horned down just a year ago, and a new elevator ana warehouse was erected. It was completed only a short time ago. The new warehouse was seven stories hieh and built of brick. When the fire was discovered six men were at worfc on the top floor of the elevator, and tho first warning they bad was when the thick clouds of smoke ponred in upon them. They made a rush to escape by way of the stairs. Two'of them Martin Wehirt and John Ounsleir tumbled head long down to the fourth story and ran for the windows on the Eleventh-street side. There was a rope attached to one of tbe windows, and down this they slid to the street. Another man Henry Spittlar climbed down a cable attached to the grainchute to a telegraph pole, and thus reached the street. He was prostrated by smoke, and removed to St Vincent's Hospital. Henrv Kopp fell back, overcome by smoke, and perished in the flames. John Kinsley, another of the carpenters, is missing, but be is supposed to have escaped. The mill was started only last week, and there were thirty thousand bushels of oats and ten thousand bags of wheat bran and flaxseed on hand. Vau Tassel's warehouse and elevator and the new machinery cost $150,000. There is an insurance of $30,000 on the Van Tassel building and $10,000 on the machinery. Fire In the President's Church. Washington, Jan. 16. While Dr. Hamlin, the pastor of tbe Church of tbe Covenant, was ongaged in his study in the church this afternoon, he noticed a smell of smoke coming apparently from tbe direction of tbe basement of tbe chapel adjoining the church In tbe rear, lie made a hurried Investigation, and found that a fire had broken out in the basement. Dr. Hamlin gave the alarm, and the whole fire department responded promptly. It was soon ascertained ' that the flames had started in a room in which is located a gas engine. Tbe flames spread rapidly, and it was not lon before they had worked their way . up to tbe second floor and Ignited the wood-work In tbe large Snnday-Bcbool room. Thence tbe tire progressed upward, and soon tbe ceiling and roof of tbe chapel were burning, but after an hour's vigorous -work the tire waa got under control. Although tbe entire interior of the chapel waa gutted, it is believed the damage will not exceed $10,000.

The whole sum of this title of life is service. Service to others and not to self. Self is a narrow space. I wish to speak to the young men who have just opened the door of life, and the old men who are just before the door that opens to a lifo beyond. Life is not an existence for self. It is this service that is the grand exponent of a successful life. To determine what success a life may attain is to see how much a life may accomplish for the bettering of humanity. I wish I had the power to convince every one of my bearors of the importance of service. In service yon throw yourself into another life. The other life becomes part of yourself, you part of that other life; you are one. Yon work together tor the bettering of the world. Just so you enter into God and the divine life enters into you. You do not surrender to pope, priest or church, but still have your own independence. You simply surrender to God. To make lifo as successful as you can, yon should not go away by yourself and say that yon will live a good life, and then do nothing else. To cherish self is not tho way to do service. You must lose self. Make yourself so strongly a part of the whole world that you inlluence all tbe other parts, and the more strongly cement them together. Take in some other life. Serve and show U that there is a divine image hidden in it. Develop that image, and in so doing you beautify your own life. A Doom that Goes Afoot. Washington Pot.

She Received but One Lone Letter and th,st from m Crazy Man. New Tbrk Commercial Advertiser. "In the course ot her entire career remarked a veteran actor yesteraay, "Charlotte Cusbman, according to her own statement, received only one of those little documents that are known to tho profession as 'mash notes,' "It arrived one evening dnring the performance of Meg Merzilies,' and as I was prompter, stage manager and general fac totum behind tbe scenes it devolved uporv me to bear it to her dressing-room. It was addressed is a wavering hand to The em press of her art, Charlotte Cnshraan.' and in company with it came a bunch of very expensive roses. "She lookea at the envelope with a pus zled air, handed tbe flowers to her maid and slowly read the note. Then she burst into a laugh. " lake it, Charles,' she said, handing tha note to me, 'and tear it up. It's the first one of those things that was ever addressed to me, and the writer must be a very silly person. Mary, you may have the roses.' Despite Miss Cusbman's order I did not d stroy the letter. Pre got it home, where it hangs in a little frame above my desk, ana I regard it as a very valuable relio. Its text is as follows: "Most adorable Miss C tubman: V 'I am one of those who are appealed to by spiritual and artistlo excellence rather than by xuere physical beauty. In view of this fact, can you wonder that your genius has enthralled me and enlisted me among your leglcn admirers! To be granted the privilege of paying my addresses to you, mot admirable of women, would be a happiness and an honor, to express my appreciation of which mere words would be unequal. Should you look favorably upon tha petition from a wretched suppliant, wear one ot the roses which I end during the second act, and I will present myself at the stage door when the play Is ended.
