SLICKER

KING OF ItOlDIAKIA.

TELLS OF WARFARE AGAINST THE JEWS. Say That It Is Just and Accuses These JVople of Kxtortin? Wraith from the l'rotlucer They Are Fuutl of Mortgage. (Special Letter.) King Charles of Roumania has published a book of reminiscences which ha.ve a peculiar value to students of tlie Eastern situation. It does not profess to be philosophic nor even purely autobiographic, but just a record of the struggle of his kingdom to lift itself to a place among European nations. and of the conflicting influences which were applied in order to attain eucces.i. The most interesting chapter in the volume tells the story of pro-Semitic agitation in the East, and the resistance to the Jewish demands for equal rights. It was upon this question that th Western nations, with high philanthropy, made such earnest protest, and despite the opposition of Russia finally secured for the Moldavian Hebrews something approaching fair treatment from the government and king by whom they had long jecn oppressed. The king takes constant opportunity to define and defend the positions on this question, from out of which he was forced one after another to retreat. He declares that the Jews held mortgages on the greater part of the estates, and that as universal providers they had monopolized the trade in spirits. They had in times of famine and scarcity always been ready to lend money to the heedless landowners and peasants at exorbitant ratft?. and had thus acquired a hold upon them which could not be shaken off. Even the bitter hatred with which the Moldavians regarded the Jews- and the violence caused by that feeling were powerless to prevent the constant immigration of Jews from Poland and southern Russia, where they experienced a far harder lot than in Roumania. It is pointed out by the regal apologist that the Jews were alien? and strangers by reason of language. ?ustom and religion and desired to remain so; that they refused to send their children to the public schools, although entitled to do so free of expense; that they controlled trade md practiced ucury; that they were dirty and altogether undesirable from every point of view to the state. Nevertheless, when Sir Moses Montefiore began his earnest crusade in Europe and enlisted for the Moldavian Hebrews the sympathy of the civilized world, so much pressure was brought to bear upon the crown that the proposed Israelites were advanced step by step to a relation to the state which, if not entirely satisfactory, is far removed from the one in which it was sought to restrain them. The whole history of the legislation and the correspondence with crowned heads is given in the volume and to it the reader must turn for details. King Charles cannot refrain, however, from giving a parting thrust when he says with bitterness in his concluding lines on this subject: 'One miict know the villagers of Moldavia to be able to judge the noxious influence excited on the rural population by the Jew and his adulterated brandy. In Poland and Hungary the Jew is to this day forbidden and rightfully, too to keep a village pub lic house. On the other hand, it is a pity that in Roumania Jews may not hold licenses for the sale of tobacco, as they now have become the most arrant smugglere." This is the last slap by the king. The rest cf the volume extols his reign, but there are some letters which are worth preserving. One was evoked by a letter of sympathy written to the unhappy mother of the slain prince imperial by the king: "Chiselhurst, Aug. 13, 1879. "You recall to me the days of happiness, and by recurring to the present you share my illimitable grief. Everything has fallen from ma, and only two tombs are left of all I loved. I rest near them, and here my isolation seems less great. 1 have known both extremes, and the want of stability of human fortunes. We are wrong in not fixing our eyes beyond this life and on that one where nothing changes and where we shall rejoin those whom we love to all eternity. EUGENIE." The volume is singularly barren of personal incident and if it were not for the title and an occasional lapse of the writer into the use of the third person its authorship might be questioned, but there is one incident which reveals much of the personality of the writer. When he was summoned to his principality it was necessary to cross the Austro-Bavarian frontier at Salzburg. He traveled in mufti with Councillor Yon Werner and stopped at Zurich on the afternoon of May 11, 1861, to arrange about passports. Von Werner telegraphed a Swiss official, whom the prince's father had already asked about the passes, to arrange a meeting at St. Gallen, but. as this official wa; not at home at the time, a delay of twenty-four hours occurred, which Prince Charles spent in writing Hi. KING CHARLES, to the Emperors of Russia and France and the Sultan of turkey. The prince and Von Werner occupied themselves also with erasing the marking of the prince's linen and reducing tlie baggage to the smallest limits. "The following day the prince obtained his passports under the name of Karl Hettingen. traveling on business to Odessa, and at the prince's request a note was made on the document of the fact that Herr Hettingen wore spectacles. The acquisition of these passports and the fact of traveling second class were not alone suffi-

' Luckily, with great presence of mind. Von Werner flung himself into the breech by insisting on paying duty on some cigars and so diverted the intruder's attention until the Odessa merchant refreshed his peccant memory with a furtive glance at the passport.

Here they were joined by Joan Bratianu. who was to accompany his future sovereign upon the last stage of his journey. But as sirict secrecy was still imperative, I was compelled to treat him as an utter stranger. The Roumanian frontier was reached at last and the boat drew up at the quay of Turnu Severin. As the price was about to step ashore the master of the steamer stopped him to inquire why he should land here if he wanted to go to Odessa. I replied that I only proposed to spend a few minutes ashore, and hurried forward. As soon a3 he touched Roumanian soil Bratianu approached obsequiously and with hat in hand begged that his highness would deign to enter a waiting carriage. As I did so I heard the captain's voice exclaim, By God, that must be the Prince of Hohenzollern!' It had been, but it was now Prince Charles of Roumania."

YOUNG GIRL HANGED IN LONDON. The English papers are still finding fault with the government for permitting the execution of Mary Ann Ansell, the lS-year-old girl who was hanged the other day in London for the murder of her sister. A great eftort was made to procure the commuMARY ANN ANSELL. tation of her sentence to imprisonment for life. One hundred members of the house of commons signed aa application to the home secretary asking for reprieve and an application in her favor was even made to the queen personally. In spitf of all. however, the sentence was tarried out. The girl poisoned her imbecile sister in order to obtain $C0 insurance on her life, which she needed for wedding expenses. Her betrothed husband sat by her side during the trial. PROFITS FROM THE SEA. Estimate Value of f isheries l'roduet o the North Sea, The average value of the product of agricultural lands per acre or square mile is often computed, but probably few of us have seen similar computations relating to the sea. Prof. Heusens writing in the German geographical periodical, Globus, has figured out an average of this sort for the North sea, which is well known to be one of the world's great sources of value derived from fisheries. He says the value of fish caught in the North nea yearly by the countries bordering it is about $41,000,000. The yearly tatch is never known to be less than $37,500,000 nor more than $45,000,000. The North sea, including the Skager Rak or gulf between the southern part of Norway and Sweden, has an area of 22Ö.SS4 square miles, and therefore the average value of the North sea fisheries each year is $18.15 for every square mile of the sea. England and Scotland take the lion's share of the wealth of these waters, the annual value of the English fisheries being about $21,250,000; Scotland, $6,C."0,000; Holland, $4,750.000; France, $3,120,000; Germany, $2,500,000; Norway, $950,000; Belgium, $300,000; Denmark, $400,000. Thus all the nations around the North sea share in the wealth it yields, and it gives some idea of the direct monetary value of this great watery waste to know that every square mile of it adds over $18 a year to the production of the nations living along its edge. New York Sun. To Kim Ship to the Philippine. Consul-Genera! Pratt of Singapore transmits to the state department a copy of a letter addressed by him to Gen. Otis, at Manila, in which he states that upon relinquishing his position in the consular service he contemplates the establishment of a line of steamers under the American flag to ply between Singapore and the different ports of the Philippines, especially the southern ones, which can be reached with special facility by way of British North Borneo. Such a line of steamers, of sufficiently light draught to enter the shallower island harbors. would. Mr. Pratt tninks, be useful for the transportation of troops and supplies. The boats would, in the first place, be at the disposal of the government, and serve, secondarily, for the convenience of the public. Not ; it illy.

IT COSTS 35 MILLIONS. An Enormous Sam Spent In Rebuilding and Ite-eqnlpplng the B. & O. K. 11. The receivership of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which has just come to a close, was remarkable in many ways. Messrs. Cowen and Murray did not follow precedent, but went ahead and placed the property In first-class shape, Instead of attempting to maintain it in the condition that they found it. Of course the receivers were upheld by a majority of the security holders and the court, but the Baltimore and Ohio receivership marked an epoch in such affairs that will be historical. The vast sums expended were put out in '96 and '97, when trade was at a low ebb and money scarce. During their administration the receivers purchased 15,350 box cars, C.751 wooden gondola cars, 6,000 pressed steel cars, 310 misctllaneous freight cars, postal, express and dining car equipment, at a total cost of $17,000,000. The 21G locomotives cost nearly two and one-half millions. The steel rail purchased amounted to 123,010 tons, costing $2,142.152, and there were bought over 3,000,000 cross ties, costing $1,200,000, and 750,000 cubic yards of ballast amounting to $525,000. The new steel bridges aggregate in value $750,000, and ful.y as much more was spent in improving the several terminals, erecting new buildings, reducing grades and changing the alignment. The maintenance of way payrolls, or the amount paid directly to men employed in making improvements on the tracks, etc., in three years was nearly twelve millions of dollars. The total amounts to about $35,000,000, of which about $15,000,000 were secured by the Usuanee of receivers' certificates and the balance through car trusts, earnings from the property and from the reorganization managers. Most of the purchases of equipment and rail were made when material was low in price and manufacturing concerns were in great need of orders to keep their plants in operation. Steel rails are worth now from $6 to $9 a ton more than when the receivers made their purchases, and locomotives have advanced from $2,000 to $30,000 in price. The equipment alone, if purchased today, would cost $5,000,000 more and the other improvements $1,000.000 more. President Cowen is authority for the statement that the new company intends spending $10.000,000 more in improvements in the next year or two. Confession In Ilnglisli Ctmreli. A parliamentary return issued in regard to tho number of Church of England churches in which there are confessional boxes seems to show the accusations of the Anti-Ritualists in regard to this specific alleged lawlessness to be totally groundless, as all the dioceses, except five, say that not one exists. The five exceptions arc London, Chichester. Exeter, Oxford and Southwell. At the same time there are scores of churches especially in London where confessions are heard at the altar rails or in chairs placed in defined positions in the nave, in order to avoid possible scandals through hearing confessions in the vestries or rectories.

JUST WHY WE LAUGH LEARNED DEDUCTIONS ON THIS IMPORTANT SUBJECT. Originality of Liugb Meant a Crow of Triumph Over the Fallen FoeSavages I .Hugh When They See Iaii Inflicted. Why we laugh is a question that has always puzzled those who are accustomed to think deeply. The laugh, w hich is now so closely associated with good humor and kindly feeling, originally expressed the exact reverse. It was the crow of triumph over a fallen foe. Such is its nature still among savages, and its unexpected manifestations are occasionally very .startling. Dancing on the body of a prostrate enemy is, in fact, to them hilarious fun. Any new device for torment is a clever jest. The inflicting of a ghastly wound as eome poor wretch runs the gantlet makes them yell with glee. The things that shock or horrify or disgust the civilized man are about tbe only things worth laughing at from a savage's point of view. With the exception, therefore, of rough practical jokes, which may possibly wrinkle his stolid features with a momentary grin, the barbarian has no appreciation of civilized humor. Even the knowledge that he himself is to be the next victim does not spoil the fun of a cruel spectacle for a barbarian thoroughbred. Some Siamese who had been engaged In a revolt were captured redhanded and sentenced to military execution. A company of soldiers had been drawn up with loaded muskets, before whom the doomed men were led out in squads of five or six to be shot, while tho?c who were waiting their turn stood by, under guard, looking on. When the first volley was fired the victims, torn hy the storm of bullets, leaped into the air with violent contortions and fell dead. And this to the poor wretches whose turn it was to next go through the same experience seemed so fine a show and so excruciatingly funny that they ere fairly convulsed with laughter. Such is the humor of the uncivilized, and such doubtless were the beginnings of mirth the world ever. Strange as it may seem, there are many hints of this barbarous origin in the fun of the most highly civilized. We no longer laugh at really tragic occurrences, it is true, for other and more humane emotions are too strongly excited. But if we chance to see a ridiculous mishap which does not quite rise to the dignity of tragedy an accident by which some one is greatly inconvenienced and annoyed without being seriously injured the remnant of the savage breaks loose in us, and we laugh, sometimes until the tears come. WASHINGTON'S WEDDINC. Attended it Ith an Mneh romp and Splendor as a Hoya! Marriage. "In a EUit of blue and silver with scarlet trimmings and a waistcoat of white satin, embroidered, with buckles of gold on his knee garters and on hie shoes, his hair powdered and by his side a dress sword, the bridegroom (Washington) towered above most of his companions," writes William Perrine of "When Washington Was Married," in the Ladies' Home Journal. "Mrs. Custis, his bride, did not reach higher than his shoulders when she stood with him before ihe old Episcopal clergyman in his full canonicals. The mist res; of the ' White House' wore a costume which hal also come from London. In her hair and ears were ornaments of pearl; she wore white satin slippers, and on the buckle of each wa a diamond. The sprightly little matron, with light brown hair and hazel eyes, had a plump and pleasing figure, an easy and graceful carriage, a comely face and fine shoulders; nnd with her three bridesmaids, and with the fine women of the families of the neighboring domains in attendance, there wa? a splendid display of the charms and graces of Virginia womanhood. Nor were the men less distinguished. The country gentlemen, in their gayest raiment, and the provincial officers from Williamsburg in their uniforms, were beaded by the gallant Lieutenant-Governor Fauquier. Around him stood a group of English officers, hardly less showy in their trappings, together with members of the legislature and other civilians. When the biide entered her coach, which was bright with the Washington colors of red and white, and drawn by six horses guided by black postilions in livery, the bridegroom did not enter with her. There was his favorite horse, with the tall body servant holding the reins and waiting for him to mount. When Washington mounted the richly caparisoned charger he rode by the side of the bridal coach, closely followed by a cortege of gentlemen on honsebaek." Tempting Cyclists to Chiireh. The Rev. L.

Mountaineering Qneen. Queen Margaret of Italy has promised to climb Rocca Melone, one of the highest peaks of the Italian Alps, to take part in the dedication of a statue of the Virgin, of which the queen herself is the sculptor. About two years ago a company of Alpine militia were marching over Rocca Melone, when the avalanche started and nearly all were buried beneath a vast mass of snow. Assistance was summoned quckly fom the nearest military post, and all the entombed men were rescued. The queen was stiangely moved by the incident. She composed a thanksgiving prayer to the Virgin, and resolved to make a statue and erect it on the spot of the rescue. A verse of this prayer is engraved upon the pedestal of the statue.
