Kaiser Believes People Can Be Held in Country if Given Assistance.

BY STEPHEN BURNETT. BERLIN, Spt. 27. Close students of social condition all over the country i '-redid that the suffering from poverty and unemployment during the coming winter will break all records, and, true to the principles of patriarchal government, the state and municipal authorities everywhere are busy planning new schemes to minimibze the suffering without pauperizing the workers. I do not know of any country in the world where so much is done to provide work for the unemployed as here and the efforts of the authorities are now everywhere directed towards getting the surplus working population of the great cities to go back to the land, where living is cheaper and conditions healthier. Statistics show that during the last year about $50,000,000 annually have been spent in Germany to better the conditions of the poor with very gratifying results. Poor Need Aid. As an experiment the Prussian state last year turned over to a colony of 40 unemployed Herlin families a tract o fpractically virgin land and an expert adviser from an agricultural college was sent with them to render them all the assistance needed. The result has been a splendid success. The health of all the colonists has greatly improved, the anaemic and emaciated children now look brown and strong and their parents have cleared six acres of woodland, manufacturing their furniture 'from the thousands of trees cut down and fencing in the whole tract. The sale of the timber has realized enough not only to keep them all out. of want during the coming winter but also to buy seed. With manure supplied them free of charge by the German Agri-

Senora Kiano, wife of Senor Don Juan Riano Gayangos, the present Spanish Minister to this country, will become one of the leaders in the Washington diplomatic set when her husband is made an ambassador. Spain is waiting for the United States to raise the rank of our envoy and then Senor Riano will be made an ambassador. Senora Riano is an American and was a Miss Alice Ward of New York before her marriage. The addition of the name of Senora Riano to the list of ambassadresses makes five of the eleven foreign embassies in Washington presided over by American women. The others are Mme. da Gama, Mme. Jusserand, Mme. Hakhmeteff and Countess von Bern-storff.

cultural society they have put twenty acres of arable land in first class condition and there is no doubt whatever that next year the colonists will be Letter off than they have been during a lifetime in the city. There are thousands of acres in Germany where similar experiments might and undoubtedly will be attempted, for the Kaiser is greatly interested and thinks that only in this

manner will it be possible to put an end to German emigration. King Constantine of Greece, during his visit to this country proved

'hat he is as great a diplomatist as a trategist and became immensely opular v'ih all the people with whom c oan:e ' nntact. From his Danish father h - inherited not only good looks .-o the true democratic spirit wl.i h is the greatest asset of a ; modern kins- He used every opporj tunity to meet men of the laboring ; classes who fell easy victims to his charming ways and never has a royal visitor had a more friendly press in Germany, for even the Socialist papers have been loud in their praise )f him. The hearts of our army officers from the Kaiser downwards he captivated immediately by declaring j that when he had had a good fortune j of winning a number of great victor- ! ie she owed thi3 first of all to the j splendid military training he had received in Germany. His words were j a much needed balm on the smarting ! wounds of German officers who have been told over and over again that the Balkan war had conclusively proved ! the superiority of French over Ger

man military tactics and who were almost beginning to believe that they were to blame for the defects of the Turks. Encouraged by the words of the chief hero of the Balkan wars and stirred by his personal presence in their midst they outdid themselves during the Kaiser manouvers which have never been carried out with such a dash and daring as this year, and which aroused the enthusiasm of all foreign military attaches and quite restored the god humor of the Kaiser. Germans Are Practical. Germans are too practical and sober minded to take much stock in occultism and mysticism, sciences which they are content to leave to their imaginative and temperamental Southern and Western neighbors. But Berliners are greatly interested in a proposed international congress of occultists to be held here this winter or early next spring, under the auspices of such famous mystics as Maurice Maeterlinck, Camille Flammarion, the well known French astronomer, and Sir Oliver Lodge. Connected with the congress will be an occultistic exhibition which promises to be exceedingly interesting. Bureaucrats Lose Ground. The war betwen the bureaucrats and Kerr Ballin concerning the participation of Germany in the Panama Exhibition in San Francisco continues, but although the former have the support of the whole official and semiofficial press it is evident that they are rapidly losing ground and the president of the Hamburg-American line, who has never yet met with de-

HOSPITAL FOR DOLLS

There is only one place between Cincinnati and Indianapolis where little girls can have their dollies repaired, and that is at George Brehm's store, where toys and sporting goods are to be obtained. Brehm's is known as the "doll hospital."

i Seven years ago George Brehm ! bought ought J. E. Morrow. Toys and I other lines were added by Mr, Brehm I and now he has almost the exclusive ! businessa in these lines. The Reach : and Spaulding sporting goods are sold at this store. The store has has made good along , these lines and has built up a steady trade.

feat during his whole career, is more confident than ever of victory. When it was cabled here that the American government had approached Ex-President Roosevelt with a view of including him to come here to agitate for the exhibition. Herr Ballin was delighted with the prospect of this powerful ally though he is quite confident that he can manage to win single-handed and the committee of prominent bankers and captains of industry that he has gathered around grows more imposing every day. There is not the slightest doubt in my mind that although German manufacturers to a certain extent may be tircci of exhibitions and inclined to doubt whether the results justify the trouble and expenses they consider the San Francisco exhibition as being in a class by itself, and if the government officials, before rendering their decision, would have approached really representative manufacturers they would have found a strong feeling in favor of official German participation in the exhibition. As matters stand now the officials may or may not reconsider their decision, but this really does not matter very much after all for it is practically certain that a representative German exhibit will be sent to San Francisco in any case.

AVARICE. Avarice is an incurable malady, an ever burning fire, a tyranny which extends far and wide, for he who in this life is the slave of money is loaded with heavy chains and destined to carry far heavier chains in the life to come. St. John Chrysos-tom.
