BISMARCK’S BIRTHDAY.

Eightieth Anniversary; of the Famous German Chancellor, Enthusiastic Demonstrations by His Admirers In Germany and Elsewhere. - . ' A Berlin cable, April 1, says: Twothirds of United Germany joins to-day in celobrating the eightieth anniversary ;q1 the birth of the “Grand Old Man” of the Empire. Only the socialists and other extreme thinkers, who have realized in the past that he was indeed an “Iron Chancellor,” aro holding aloof from celebrating the natal day of the great statesman. Greater birthday honors have never been paid to any European ruler than those which are being showered upon the venerable ex-Chancellor, who, still vigorous In mind, though feeble in body, is awaiting his final summons under the shadow ol the elms at Friedrichsruhe. Sad thoughts and exultant thoughts doubtless mingle to-day with his contemplation of the fact that he has passed by a decade "the" span of life allotted to man by tho prophet. Sadness, because during the year, his brave and noble hoi pnject, the mainstay of his declining years, has passed to a better land—exultation, because within tha same.period, the Emperor, who, in tha first-flush of his assumption of power and authority T drove him from tha arena of Statesmanship to the retirement of a private citizen, has since acknowledged his error. Taken all in all, however, this is a proud day for the greatest of all amongst civilians of the Fatherland. To-day simply witnesses the climax ol tho birthday celebration. As a matter of fact, it has been going on for a week, having begun on Monday, and a large delegation from the Reichstag visited the Prince at Friedrichsruhe, and presented presents and congratulations. Every day since large delegations have inundated the little village, bearing addresses and birthday gifts that for weeks have - been exhibited in the jewelry stores of the -principal cities. To-day, however, Friedrichsrulio is literally taken by storm. Only tho representatives of the various : delegations could be personally received by the Prince, and the great mass of those j who were successful in reaching the estate j were compelled to content themselves by I cheering his appearance on tho balcony of the castle and listening to tho feeblyspoken words of thanks, j It is not only at Friedrichsruhe, howI ever, that the day has been observed. Celebrations are in progress in hundrsds, if not thousands, of cities, towns and villages throughout the empire. To-night there will be banquets without number, and bonfires will be lighted on tho high bills and mountains. All the public and most of the private buildings in this city are bedecked with flags aud bunting. At all the schools the pupils assembled this morning in order to j bear special Bismarck addresses, after I which the day was a holiday. Many ol , the business bouses are closed and all the main streets'a~re crowded witit sightseers. At tho theaters there are special performances, with prologues appropriate to the lay, A cable from Friedrichsruhe, April 1, ■ }ays: Since an early hour this morning trains havo been arriving hero loaded | with visitor's from all parts of tho Empire, desirous of congratulating Prince ! Bismarck on his eightieth birthday. At j 11 o’clock a deputation from the Zeidlich Cuirassiers regiment, of which the Prince Is honorary eolonel, arrived in the castle I In order to congratulate him. Tho cuirassiers were followed by a stream of other deputations, including one composed ol university professors and another of Senators from Hamburg, Lubeck and Bremen. The dispatch of congratulation which King Oscar of Norway and Sweden sent to Prince Bismarck alluded to tho latter as the creator of German unity. Emperor Francis Joseph of -Austria was among those who telegraphed their congratulations to the Prince today. A. deputation of four thousand strong, from the different universities, proceed :d to tho castle at 2 o’clock this afternoon. When Prince Bismarck appeared he was greeted with deafening cheers. The King of Wurtemburg sent a letter jf congratulation from Stuttgart ty an aid-de-camp. Tho anniversary was also celebrated by Serman-Araerican citizens in* all the prominent cities. ' »

THEY DISAPPROVED.

Indianapolis Socialists Publicly Sbonr Tlieir Hatred of Bismarck. At Indianapolis, Monday night, at the close of a German theatrical performance at English’s Opera House, in honor of Bismarck’s birthday, a “living picture” representing Bismarck reading Emperor William's proclamation, at tiio palace of Versailles, which brought all of tho German States under his imperial government, was presented. The manager requested every German present to rise and join in the national hymn, “Die Wacht am Rhein,” while tlie "picture” was on the stage. As tliecurtain rolled up and the, living picture came into view, instead of complying with tlie request of tlie management, more than 2(X) socialist Germans, witli their families and friends, arose and—left tlie house. Thus they manifested their disapprobation.

IN MUNCIE DURING THE PARADE.

Senator Voorbees Retained to Fight (the Measure. A Louisville special, March 27, says: In a private letter to a friend in New Albany SenatorYoorhees says the Nicholson temperance law passed at the last session of the Indiana legislature is unconstitutional. It is understood that Senator Voorhees has been retained by the Indiana liquor dealers’ association to fight the law when an attempt is made to enforce Us provisions. It is said the liquor dealers’ association is willing to spend 8100, (XjO to havo the law declared invalid. One claim, and the chief one against the validity of tlie law. is that Governor Matthews did not have the bill three days before the legislature adjourned, the constitution declaring that tho Governor may havo three days to consider all bills 1 before signing or vetoing. In the case of the Nicholson bill the Governor only had it two days before the legislature adjourned by limitation.

VOORHEES VS. NICHOLSON BILL.

Senator Voorhees in an interview at Washington, March 23, denied that he had been retained as an attorney by the Indiana Liquor League to fight the Nicholson bill, but said that ho expected to light the law before the people of Indiana, because it is opposed to freedom and liberty. Continuing, the Senator said: “II such measures are necessary, then the people are incapable of self-government, and I, for my part, am not willing to confess that they are not able to govern themselves and determine for themselves what they shall drink, eat or wear. Such prohibitive measures are pernicious and. there must be a limit put upon lawmakers. Hut my views are too well known to. need any exploitation at this time. Samuel J. Tilden well enunciated those principles and before him Thomas Jefferson. There should be no interference with the prerogative of an Individual to depide for himself what he shall drink, eat or wear. The operation of the Nicholson bill will "Soon be followed by Its repeal." Ex-Attorney-General Michoner, in an Interview<at New York, said ex-President Harrison was “in no sense a presidential Candidate, but In certain contingencies might accept the nomination." A bed of solid rock salt has been discovered on Joe Jefferson's Island, near Abbey ville, La., at a depth of 080 feet. It is reported that there were thirtyeight cases of cholera in ono day among the **panese soldiers at Port Arthur.

It is said that the Catholic Knights of Pythias of Terre Haute, as the result of several conferences, have resolved to disregard the order of the Propaganda at Romo and will remain with the order. The explanation is, that the church gave permission to join the order and that nothing has transpired since making it difficult for a Catholic to remain in the order and at the same time retain his church standing.

But it is 'only within the last few years that it has begun to manifest its capacity for mischief.

A WHITE AND GOLD NEST.

How an Ugly Room Was Transformed By an Artistic Girl. Philadelphia Times. She lives most of the year in a small halt bedroom, not an ordinary square room where one has room to swing a cat around in if such a eruel fancy should seize upon one, but a small, oblong bit of a room which seems specially designed for no better purposes than to cut off the light from the hall, but which in most boarding-houses are used to tuck away .young men or young women who are probably used to big farm house rooms at home. She was artistic; that made people say she would never be able to stand it, but with the. aid of the landlady's carpenter, a pot of white enamel and her last winter’s yellow evening gown, she made a very cozy noolc for herself. Her bed was an extension lounge. The bedclothes were folded up in a bureau drawet .in the daytime, and the pillows in cased in yellow and white slips tc j serve as cushions. Over this bed i sofa was a shelf, draped with a piec* i of white crepe embroidered with gold ! figures; on this she placed her favor- , ite photographs in frames o! i imitation gold metal and frames made of rough linen I paper, brushed with a gilded paint brush. Her pitcher and basin wen placed under a window shelf, from which was hung a curtain of yellow satin. On this seat was placed tb« teacups and brass kettle, which made life cheery for herself and friends at 5 o’clock every afternoon. Near the window was placed the bureau, a cheap old oak one, painted white by her skillful brush; opposite to it was a tiny desk. Over this and opposite the sofa were shelves enameled white for books, and a white rocking chair finished this really lovely little nest. M. Puvis de Chavannes, the distinguished French artist is to receive $50,000 for decorating one room in the Boston public library. Bishop Samuel Fallows, of Chicago, in speaking before the Sunset lub on his home saloon, said he was glad to report that he had a steady run of custom and that it was a profitable business. He was for blending the best features of the saloon with the restaurant. The ancestor* of the American people could drink any other people blind.
