BERLIN, March CO. Emperor William's ipeech at the indication of the new barracks, near the imperial canle, of the Kmperur Alexander Grenadier regiment, Is still the sensation of the hour. The Voerwaerts to-d.ty vouches for Its version of his Majesty's speech. The Hamburger Correspondent also says that the version published by the Kruez Zeitung is much milder than the Emperor's original words. The prens la till puzzling over what caused Emperor William recently to indulge in such pessimistic talk, and considers hh- words to le unwarranted by fact?. They point out, cl?, that the Emperor's prediction, ant werir.g a toat Thursday niht, to the effect that Germany would soon have to fight BKainst overwhelming odds, is at variance with all the declarations of Count Von Due1 )W, the Imperial chancellor, who presents Germany as surrounded by friends. The Vosüische Zeitung and the Berliner Tageblatt attribute the depression of the Emperor which inspired these speeches to recent determining Influences and "irretp -nsible adviser," by which ihey refer to Dr. Von Lucanus, the head of his Majesty's civil cabinet; General Von ilahnke, the chief of his Majstyd military cabinet; Admiral Von Senden-Bibran, chief of the marine cabinet, the adjutant general and ethers, who must systematically misreprefcont the actual internal situation, and especially with regard to the Socialists. The Vorwaerts is of opinion that the Emperor"s speeches are momentary signs of mental depression occasioned by the Bremen outrage, which the Emperor continues to attribute to a deep laid plan, instead of regarding it as the irresponsible deed of an epileptic. This opinion is systematically strengthened by the Conservative press, clippings from which persons of the Emperor's entourage take care regularly to place before him. Gütside of Prussia the disapproval of the press, including the bemi-oirtclal newspaper?, to the Emperor's sensational speecnes is even greater. The comments of the Stuttgart Sehwaebbif che Mercury are to the efleet that the speeches are calculated to arouse widespread misunderstandings. The feml-oincial newspaper of Augsburg, the Abend Zeitung, says the speeches till every patriot with deepest regrets and greatest tears for the future and awakens the fear that the Bremen incident has bred images In the Emperor's mind which ar the product of an overexcited fancy. The Munich Neuste Nachrichten says it is impossible to promote monarchical sentiments when the nation Is systematically misunderstood, insulted and debased before the world by Its own Emperor. XXX In the House of Lords Professor Friedler, rector of the Charlottenburg Technical High School, made a powerful speech against the Prussian minister of Justice, Dr. Schienstedt, charging him and the Prussian bureaucracy with trying to defeat again Emperor William's school reform, favoring sciences and modern languages against ancient languages and training in the present gymnasiums. The jnlnlster weakly denied the charge. X X X The monuments In the Siegges Alle to the great elector, Frederick William, and William the Great, were unveiled this morning In the presence of the Emperor and EraSress, a number of princes. Count Von uelow and the generals. The French residents of Berlin placed a wreath at the foot of the monument of the great elector. After unveiling the troops marched past. Subsequently there was a luncheon at the castle, those present Including the commanders and staff officers of the Life Guards. J. C. SHAFFER'S PAPER. Former Indlanapollta Coiiclnde Purchase of tue Chicago Poat. CHICAGO, March J). The Chicago Evening Tost was to-day sohl by II. II. Kohlsaat to a company headed by J. C. Shaffer, of Evanston, who will be president and publisher of the paper. Samuel D. Clover, for reveral years managing editor of the paper, will be its editor. The publication, which will be known hereafter as the Chicago Post, will appear Monday In an entirely different form. The pages will be reduced one-half from the present size, but Increased in number from eight to sixteen. The Chicago Post, it is announced, will make a feature of financial news, but will "present all the news of value to its readers, and will continue to take especial Interest in the literary, educational, reformatory and social life of Chicago." The aper will be strongly iiepuuncan in poitlcs. Th Pnal tn-dnv nrints a statement over the signature of Mr. H. H. Kohlsaat, In which he says: "I find journalism too jealous a mistress to permit longer of a divided fealty. Strive as I have striven to pay impartial attention to the business of the Times-Herald and the Evening Post, 1 have found my time too short and my powers too limited to give equal and sufficient attention to two papers of such essentially different constituencies. It has been with me nn attempt to serve two masters demanding service practically throughout the twenty-four hours. I therefore decided, some time since at the first favorable opportunity to transfer my control of the Evening Post to other hands and devote myself to the editorial management of the Times-Herald, which last Thursday became the Kecord-Herald by a consolidation with the Chicago Itecord." A LA FUNSTON. Xnv York Jloy Capture "AKuinnldo" on the llnwcry. NEW YORK. March SO. Giving an imitation of General Funston capturing Aguinaldo cost Thomas Hart, ten years old. of No. 76 East Fourth street, and Louis Jacobson, eleven, of No. P3 East Fourth street. J 10 fine each in the Yorkvllle Court to-day. They captured Aguinaldo," a luckless son cf a cigarmaker. but were captured themselves before any harm was done. Hart had a loaded revolver, and, taking Jacobson as his chief aid and some other boys, he started out cn a hunt for the Filipino chieftain. On the Bowery near Third street they came upon the one they insisted should play the part of Aguinaldo. He was the ten-year-old son of Louis Eisberg, of No. 34 East Third street. "Surrender, Aguinaldo. desp ret chief or the Flepeenos. Surrender, or we'll bust yer In der Jor." said Hart. "Aguinaldo" gave up in a hurry, and. to the disgust of his captors, began to whimper Just then Policeman Conkllng interrupted the capture by seizing Hart and Jacobson. The other American generals and soldiers fled. BUCKET SHOPS DOOMED. Proprietor Munt Either Client Uncle 8am or Admit They Are C. am bier. NEW YORK. March 30. Wall street is Winning to believe that bucket shops are doomed to extinction by the net of Congress of March 2, amending the war revenue laws. The office of Charles H.

Adjutant General Corbin said to-day to the News correspondent that there was absolutely no truth in the report that exPresident Harrison, just before his death, had written a letter to the War Departhent concerning the treatment which his son. Russell B. Harrison, had received. No such letter has come to the secretary of war, the adjutant general or the War Department, directly or indirectly, and careful Investigation has been made, following newspaper reports, to find the alBerl 1,1etter- General corbin added that Russell Harrison had no occasion for complaint. He had been honorably discharged from the service, just as officers irc being discharged every day, but he had seemed to interpret this as a reflection upon his services and had demanded a court of inquiry. This the department had refused to grant and should continue to refuse. An honorably discharged officer is not entitled to a court of inquiry. AN ALLEGED TRUST.

Effort to Punish a Combination of Insurance Companies. TOPEKA, Kan., March CO. County Attorney Nichols brought suit In the District Court to-day against fifty-nine Insurance companies doing business in Topeka to prosecute them under the anti-trust laws of 1S97. The companies are all known as "union companies, ".and th$ petition names them as subscribers of the rate book issued by the Eldridge Inspection Bureau. If judgment Is rendered against them each company will be liable to a penalty of Jl.uoo and $10o a day for all that continue to do business after Judgment is recovered. The suit will be known as the State of Kansas vs. The Aetna Insurance Company," and is the first to be brought under the anti-trust law. The petition states that defendant corporations have willfully and unlawfully agreed and combined with each other and with fire insurance companies to form an insurance trust to fix, regulate and maintain the rates and premium to be charged by each of said defendant corporations for Insuring the different classes of risks on property against loss by fire. REORGANIZATION IN ZINC. Ilrtt Steps Taken to Rejuvenate n Valuable Missouri Property. JOrLIN, Mo.. March SO. A step toward the reorganization of the International Zinc .Company, .which is now in the hands of a receiver, was made to-day, when Judge William Robinson, a member of the Missouri Supreme Court, bought In 110 acres of mineral land, known as the Free Coinage property, one of the company's former holdings. Judge Robinson, who was one of the mortgagees, bought in the property for $30,000, and under an agreement with Henry B. Shoemaker, of the New York reorganization committee, he will make a warranty deed to the committee, or persons designated by them, on payment of Jti.Ooi), they. In turn, to make a trust deed to Judge Robinson and the other mortgagee for $:M.oi0, the balance necessary to obtain a clear title to the land. Under the present arrangement all stockholders will receive new stock in the reorganized company on deposit of their old stock. It ls understood that the capital of the company will be reduced materially. NEW CANADIAN PRECEDENT. Marriage of Catholic by n Protestant Clergyman Held to lie Legal. MONTREAL. March SO. Judge Archibald to-day dismissed the action of a former secretary of the Lieutenant Governor of the province of Quebec, named Delpit, who asked to havo his marriage annulled after having lived seven years with his wife arul after she had borne him children. The ground on which he based his action was that, though Catholics, they were married by a Protestant clergyman; therefore there really existed no marriage. The case was taken up by the ecclesiastical court of the Roman Catholic Church, which upheld hH view of the case, but Judge Archibald dismissed the case on the ground that marriage is a civil contract and that religious differences cannot affect it. This Judgment establishes an important precedent and is the first serious instance of the civil law in the province of Quebec which is molded on the old French law, differing with the ecclesiastical laws. BURGLAR SHOT DEAD. "Wounded In First Attempt to Enter a Building nnd Killed In Second. CHICAGO. March SO. After having been wounded In a previous attempt at burglary a few hours before, Cornelius Doherty, ono of the four who attempted to break into the Newbery -building on East Ontario street, met a tragic death last night while running away from Watchman Frank Kelly, who shot him In the .left tempi and the left thigh.

Son of n Former Congressman Accused of Taking Jf.TTT of the Island' Postal Funds.

SAN JUAN, Porto Kico, March Sa.-Har-old Crowley, of Lockport, N. Y., son of exCongressman Crowlej. 'and an employe of the postal department, who was recently ordered to Buffalo, has been arrested, charged with the appropriation of $377 of postal funds, and released on Jl.OK) bail. Crowley is charged with appropriating this money from funds registered in Ponce, and en route from Yauco to San Juan. The package was missed March 25 and Crowley intended to sail from here on March 27. He was detained by a postofiice Inspector and an Investigation showed that he displayed considerable cash March 24. On that day Crowley said he had received a remittance from his father. The preliminary hearing has been set for April 2. Crowley has an excellent reputation, having filled many positions of trust since lS. POHTO IlICAX SOTHS. Code for District Courts to He Revised Blow at Coffee Industry. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, March 30. Governor Allen has appointed sixty-eight police and established a new code for the District Courts. The commission, pusuant to recent legislation, has designated Senor Lopez, a member of the old commission, to revise the laws. The commission has retained J. W. Kecdy to aid Senor Lopez in inls work. From a private cablegram received here from Paris it Is learned that the French government purposes levying a heavy duty on Porto Rican coffee into France. France is the greatest consumer of thi3 product of the island. This action will prove a serious blow to coffee industries. A native orchestra ls organizing to attend the Pan-American exposition in Buffalo. The United States naval forces here fired half-hour salutes yesterday in honor of the funeral . of ex-President Harrison, which occurred March 17. The army, however, observed this ceremonial on the actual day of the funeral. The cause of this apparent hitch was that the army received its instructions by cable, whereas Secretary Ixmg. of the navy, mailed his orders for the naval funeral observances. UNUSUAL COURT RULING. Prisoner Who Wants a Chance to Do Better Released on Bond. CINCINNATI, March SO. There was an unusual release on bond in the United States Court here to-day. James Considlne, a brother of the well-known pugilistic manager, was arrested for the alleged robbery of the postoffice at Granville, O., In He skipped his bond and was only tried after he had served a term in a Missouri penitentiary for an alleged diamond robbery, committed on his way back from the Fitzsimmons-Corbctt fight at Carson City. He was tried before Judge Thompson and an effort was made to prove an alibi. He was convicted and given a five-year sentence. He pleaded for suspension on the ground that he wa3 earning an honest. living as a theatrical manager and would report weekly to the court. His record was against him, however, and the case was taken to the United States Court of Appeals, where his release was ordered today under a $10,000 bond, pending a new trial. PLUMBERS BURNED. Two Fatally and Throe Seriously by an Explosion of Gas. PITTSBURG, March 30. By an explosion of gas at Furnace C, of the Edgir Thomson steel works at Braddock, Pa., to-day, five men were terribly burned, two fatally. Their names are: George Rader, will die; George Hosack, will die; George Goga, Charles Porter and Michael Grannon. The men were plumbers, and the explosion was caused by escaping natural gas from a broken main igniting from the furnace. THACKERAY IN GEORGIA. YonnK Ladies Found Him nt First n Dull and I'nresponslve Visitor. Augusta (Ga.) Herald. Here are the facts of Thackeray's visit to Augusta: In an old-fashioned room, quaintly and richly furnished, full of mementos of other days. Interspersed here and ther with modern photographs and dainty bits of bric-a-brac, known only in these later days of the century in a room dignified with book cases filled with standard works, and frivolous with low chairs and cushioned divans, the story of how Thackeray was entertained there was told. Very few in passing Dr. Garvin's old home, on the corner of Broad and Elbert streets, and noting the statellness of its stonework and the old world fashion of the low-lying veranda and iron railing, know that many associations connected with the great men of the last century cluster about the place. Of those entertained by hospitable and brilliant Dr. Garvin, no guest was received with greater pleasure than was the author of "Vanity Fair." It was in 1851 that the famous English writer came to Augusta to deliver three of ...s four lectures on George 1, George II, George HI and George IV for the benefit of the Young Men's Library Association, then in its infancy. The association brought many wellknown men here, but in those days of no lyceums Augusta was always spoken of as a graveyard for lecturers, and the receipts did not amount to very much, so, in order to save expenses, the lecturers were entertained by each member of the association in turn. It was not Dr. Garvin's time to entertain, and the great man was not expected, and so the young ladies of tho house were thrown into quite a llutter of excitement by the sudden appearance one cool winter evening of the great Englishman, who had been brought In by the master of the house for an informal visit. One of the young ladles declares her delighted excitement was so great that she was too breathless to acknowledge her Introduction. She was soon sufficiently at ease, however, to note everything said and done by their distinguished guest. The lion did not care to be lionized, It was evident, sho said, for he was reserved and cool, even beyord the reserve and coldness habitual with the typical John Bull. All the brilliant conversation of the gifted host and the bright talk of his young daughters failed to thaw out the icy manner of the tall, dignified Englishman, with the iron-gray hair, rather fiat nose and steely eyes. It was with a sigh of relief that his entertainers saw Thackeray leave, but the relief was speedily changed to anxiety when they learned that Dr. Garvin had hospitably asked him to tea the following evening. Probably with the idea of the early English tea In his mind Thackeray arrived at the house several hours before he was expected and before his host was prexared to see him, so again the daughters were called upon to entertain him, and again they found the task a hopeless one. He was observant to an almost miraculous degree, absolutely nothing said or done seeming to escape him, but he wns entirely unresponsive. Finally he heard the children playing in the next room and begged to listen to their chatter, expressing his great fondness for children, and saying quaintly, "I do not keep little boys." This was a relief to thd girl hostesses, whose embarrassment had become unendurable through the unexpected visit of an old lady who did not catch in th Introduction the world-renowned name, and who persisted in entertaining the whole company with detailed accounts of her many ailments. Later, when supper was over and the wine began to circulate, Thackeray, under its warm Influence and the magnetic responsiveness ot the renowned Dr. H. V. M. Miller, who had been invited to meet him, awoke to sudden animation and positively electrified his hearers with his sparkling conversation. He was rcuch more communicative about his own works than really great authors generally are, and expressed freely hla sentiments in regard to the children

Ills characters were neVer copied, but always created, was his emphatic declaration, but one day, long after "1'endennis" had been given to the world, its author was sitting in a coffee house in London, when Captain Costigan himself, it seemed to that character's astontsned creator, walked in. Thackeray watched the man for some time and was astonished to lind that ho was a reproduction of the eccentric captain in his every gesture, expression and manner of speaking. The experience must certainly have, given the author a very weird sensation, although some writers have declared their characters to be so intensely real to them that they would never be surprised to meet them in everyday life. TI1K VANISHING IIANDKKItCHIHF. A Chenilcnl Iteuclion Hint Antonnded u Washerwoman. Harvey Sutherland, in Ainslee's Magazine. "The facetious chemist took an ordinary cotton handkerchief and soaked it in nitric and sulphuric acids. Then, after so lontf a time, he took it out and rinsed it carefully so as to remove the free acid. It looked then like any other cotton handkerchur. It went to the washerwoman, who put it through all the waters that handkerchiefs go through, hung it out on the line, and took it in again when it was dry. She spread It out on the ironing board, put the hot iron on if. and-lt went away. There was a Hash, a puff of smoke, and thenno handkerchief, not even the ashes of one. When you consider how frightened the poor woman must have been at such goings-on In the broad, open daylight, how worried she must have been lest the gentleman should think she had stolen the handkerchieffor she was an honest woman I make no doubt whatever, at least as far as cheap cotton handkerchiefs were concernejand, of course, she thought he wouldn't believe her when she told hint what had become of it. you will see at once that this is really a very fine joke Indeed and ought to have been in Die Fliegende "What happened to the handkerchief is what happens to the manufacture of gun cotton. The sulphuric acid takes the water out of the cellulose and the nitric acid makes an arrangement whereby a certain amount of nitryl gets to take the place of it. so that when fire 13 applied to it it all burns at once. Starch is the same thing chemically as cotton, same proportions of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, only the patterns, so to speak, of the molecule are different, and out of that law-abMing box of white grnlns at this moment In the lefthand corner of your kitchen cupboard, madam, could be made enough nltro-starch to wreck your happy home while you are saying 'Jack Robinson.' The molasses Jug Is just as potent for destruction. ?.nd an explosive is now marketed that is made from straw, nitrated in the same way as cotton. It ls so powerful that It has to be diluted with infusorial earth, each tiny particle of which, long years ago. was the shell of a little animal that never dreamed it was going to assist In torpedoing an oil well. It seems to me a queer use or this terrible destructive that It should be a medicine, a heart-stimulant.

this moment, however, the success of the British arms in South Africa has mado popular heroes of the military men. and as a result of the new conditions an order has been issued that hereafter all officers must wear their uniforms in public. This change is charged to the influence of the Kaiser, who has enforced such an order in his own realms. Naturally the remarks of the British officers are such as would subject them to punishment for lese majesty if uttered in Germany. AlTOMOllILKS TO-DAY. The Xcxt Step a Cheaper Vehicle Merit of the Various Kindn. Edward Emerson, Jr., in Ainslee's Magazine. The first step toward a cheaper vehicle must be that of standard or interchangeable bodies, with wheels, tires, axles, springs, gears and other parts of uniform size. Electric automobiles must sooner or later be provided with interchangeable batteries so that old batteries can be thrown out and newly charged batteries substituted without long waits, as is now the case. To accomplish this result manufacturers will either have to agree upon a standard battery or the Inventive genius of our electricians must be called up to produce some quick-charging means. Apart from the present slow system of charging electric batteries and the rapid deterioration of motor batteries the American electric automobile of to-day surpasses all other automobiles in many points. First of all. it is the easiest to manage. It starts at a touch without having to wait for the generation of steam or for carburation. It has no noisy and conspicuous exhaust, nor does it offend by its odor, as is the case with automobiles propelled by gasoline or kerosene motors. No skill is required to run it. On the other hand, there are some distinct drawbacks. There is the undue weight and bulkiness of the batteries, which in itself is bound to interfere with grace of design. As a vehicle Its runs are confined to narrow limits. The motive power ls measured by the capacity of the storage batteries. Charging stations outside the large cities are few and far between. If the power gives out between stations'lt is impossible to replenish. Another bad point, already Indicated, is the fact that it takes several hours to charge a battery to its full capacity. The steam motor, while the farthest advanced, likewise has its drawbacks. First of all comes the question of fuel. The lightest and most effective fuel for generating steam at present appears to be gasoline. Yet even with gasoline it takes several minutes to generate steam for propulsion before starting. Nearly three times as much gasoline is consumed In this way as it would actually take to run a gasoline motor. This increases the running expenses. While the gasoline is light enough to carry a supply for fifty or sixty miles, the water tank in the average steam vehicle will hold only enough for twenty or twenty-five miles. This means that a stop must be made for water at least once or twice during a good day's run. In longdistance races this is a serious consideration. The most economical motor for light road purposes, without a doubt, is the gasoline engine. As perfected In France, the gasoline motor comes broadly under two systems. The first of these Is dependent upon direct carburatlng. Air is passed over gasoline in a tank. The gasoline Issues forth in such a manner as to mix with from seven to nine parts of air. The chief disadvantage of the system ls that the density of the gas ls affected by atmospheric conditions and the temperature of the fluid. The gasoline must be kept at a temperature approximating 70 degrees Fahrenheit, or It will refuse to volatilize sufficient!- to mix with the amount of air admitted to the carburator. The othr gasoline system depends for it effectiveness upon vaporizing or spraying. Limited quantities of the gasoline in the tank are sprayed into the carburatlng chambers, where, mixing with the air, t forms the explosive mixture which driven the motor. The trouble with this system is Its uncertain Ignition and explosion, often causing annoying delays at the start. Roth systems have the advantage of cheapness and peculiar adaptability for light and rapid work. Cheaper still than the gasoline motor, though similar in its workings, ls the kerosene or petroleum rsctcr. The troutla x:llti

9 9 O this motor, as now produced, is that it takes fully ten minutes to get it in working order whenever it is stopped. Another serious annoyance is the penetrating odor of kerosene, which soon pervades all parts of the automobile, entering even the cushions rnd woodwork. Many are the attempts that have been made to deodorize the oil, but none of them so far can be pronounced an unqualified success. In Conversation a. Lont Art? Eliot Gregory, in Harper's Razar. Conversation calls for training of two kinds; a talker presupposes a listener. Now, listening is a platonic occupation out of fashion on this side of the Atlantic. Watch carefully a group of our compatriots chattering together and you will notice that the speaker is rarely allowed to finish a sentence. His companions will snap the thread of talk away from him. unconscious of any incivility just from sheer nervous inability to listen to the end; having "cadght on" to the drift of an idea, they can no more listen placidly to its development than they can wait until a play is over, or a cable car stopped, to make their exit. Have you ever been in a barnyard when a hen more fortunate than the others unearthed a nice fat worm? Long experience having taught the fowl that she will not be allowed to enjoy her prize In peace, ehe tarts to run with it. pursued by the other chickens, who snatch the tidbit from her and from each other, until the mangled dainty disappears. When our Impatient compatriots discuss a topic of interest, it gets much the same treatment as the worm. Interrupting is a national peculiarity; we are so quick-witted and seize a train of thoußht with such facility that any attempt at its elaboration gets on our nerves. Here, perhaps, lies the reason whv no "salon" ever has or ever can exist on this .continent. The fundamental idea of such a center Is the tranquil discussion of a subject, its analysis and dissection by i circle of unoccupied and calm-minded people, and requires something difficult for ui Yankees to accord, time and undivided attention. ;irU Vm. IIojk. Edward Marshall, Monthly. in Frank Leslie's In making their interesting experiments with the school children of Chicago thgentlemen did the weighing on ordinary physicians' scales, and the children wore their ordinary school clothing. The average weight of the boys clothing was 5.1S per cent, of the total weight of the boy. The average weight of the girls' clothing was 5.5-10 per cent, of the total weight of the girl. After the pupils had been carefully weighed, an equally exact tept was made of their strength of grip. Different records were made for their right and for their left hands. These records are so closy associated with each other the records of weights and the records of strength of grip that Dr. Christopher summarizes them together. The weight of the girl surpasses the weight of the boy something over a year Jater than the time at which her stature surpasses his. The boy begins to be heavier than the girl after he has begun to be taller than she is. So the girl maintains her superiority over the boy in weight for a shorter time than she keeps her superiority In height over him. The charts also show that while the girls also increase very slowly In helpht after tl-,y have reached the age of fourteen, the weight continues to increase rapidly until sixteen, and less rapidly thereafter. The usefulness of the machine showing the power of gripping with the two hands becomes most apparent when considered In connection with the matter of weight. The investigations nil show a marked increase In the hand-iower of boys commencing with the time when they cross the threshold of physical manhood. Thin gain continue until after they pass the public school age. In girls, as the tests prove, there Is no such acceleration of muscular strength at this time. After sixteen, among girls, practically no Increase in the strength of grip occurs. A Shocked Contemporary. Atchison Globe.
