thi: li:gl;xi or Much has been written concerning the famous 'White Lady of the Hohenzollerns." who, whenever a death is about to occur in the Prussian reig nine

family, is op

posed to appear in the old royal castle of Berlin. Uut there is another legend just as singular and another ghost, the presence of which is quite as much dreaded by the Hohenzoll o r n s as that of the Countess Gertrude of Orla-

ii t ii tu munde, the PriiK-vvs IlntUlwill. ........ V . ., hue Iady, sacred to tradition. It is the legend f the Ild Hand, which shows its'.lf on the walls of certain rooms in the castle, at stated intervals, and the sight of which is supposed to herald great misfortunes, not only to the monarchy, but also to the Prussian state. King Frederick William II was a man whose morals had from his earliest youth been most slack. The number of his mistresses surpassed any before known, even at the Prussian court, where there had been f-w scruples as to questions of the kind; and parents when they happened to have a pretty daughter never liked to present her at court, for fear of her attracting the attention of the king. The latter pushed his indiscretions so far that to two women, the Countess Ingenheim and the Countess Dönhoff, he fc'ave marital rank, declaring that he had married them with the left hand, notwithstanding the fact thit his queen was alive. His children 1 y the.v left-hand marriages were to be recognized by him, and given titles.

TIIK IIHD ILAXn. remembers the legend connected with it and the curse of the Count

ies Julie of Ingenheim.

It would he curious to know whether this minister sign has been sren recently in the old castle of the Prussian king.. If we are to believe all that is told in Perlin, it is due to his dread of encountering it that the kaiser ever since the war began, has transferred his residence to the palace of Pellevue in the Thiergarten, where both h? and the empress at present reside when they happen to be in their capital. The castle, which stands at the end of Unter den Linden, is closed at present, and the last time it was honored with the presence of its royal master was on that memorable occasion when he had the impudence to tell his people that it had been attacked by France and by Russia on the day' following that of the outbreak of the war. If we are to believe all of the. reports that have reached the ears of the public the lied Hand was observed for weeks during the winter preceding the deaths of the old Emperor William I and of h; successor, Frederick III. The Empress Victoria was told of it by one of her ladies in waiting, ar.d she is said to have remarked that she did not wonder that misfortunes were about to befall the Prussian dynasty, since its fate was to be intrusted to such a headstrong man as her eldest son. Whatever illusions the world may have had concerning the character and individuality of William II, they were not shared by his mother, who also, perhaps, foresaw, more vividly than did the masses, his insatiable ambition and disastrous vanity.

The Countess Ingenheim was a weet girl who really loved Fredcrick William and who would have beep content to remain in obscurity and to enjoy his affection without being thrown violently, as was the cas before the notice of the public. Everybody who knew her liked her and pitied her every one with the exception of her rival in the affections of the king, the Countess Dönhoff. The latter was a cruel and ambitious woman, who tried to eliminate the unfortunate Julie von Ingenheim and to ruin her in the eyes ol their common lover. To this effect she spared neither time nor money, and she intrigued so well that at last she brought about an estrangement between the Countess Ingenheim and Frederick William, who began to believe that Julie had been unfaithful to him. He upbraided her in the most violent terms and would have turned her out of the palace had not the queen herself interfered, and taken pity on the girl who had supplanted her. Prur Julie was so broken-hearted that she gave premature birth to a son and never rallied afterward, but went into a rapid decline. As Julie lay dying the Countess Dönhoff broke into her room, to ftast eyes upon the agony of the woman whose rival she had been. This proved too much for the miserable victim and she adjured the king to spare her this last insult. Hut Frederick William had not sufficient courage to order his new mistress out of the apartment, and Julie von Ingenheim in the presence of this weakness rose up in her bed and cursed both the man for whose sake she had fallen and the Countess Dönhoff, saying that she would haunt them and their posterity forever. As she spoke she touched the wall with her hand, v. hich happened to have bloodstains on it, and then fell back exhausted on her pillows, dying a few days later unreconciled to the king.

Strange to say, whenever since that time a misfortune has been about to befall the dynasty of the Hohenzollerns some one has claimed to tee. at sunset, the shadow of a red hand upon the walls of some apartment of the castle. People tried at first to explain the vision as a natural phenomenon and to attribute it to shadow effects, but the superstitious could not help observing that the apparition of this emblem always foreboded some ill or other to the Prussian royal house and the Prussian state. liefere the disaster of Jena the hand could lie observed every evening in the room generally occupied by Queen Louise of Prussia, who was so affected by the sight that she removed to another apartment. Again before her own death the hand showed itself, this time in the bedroom of the king. When the mutinies which broke out in Herlin in 1S4S threatened the very' existence of the Prussian monarchy, the hand or rather its shadow because it is nothing but a red shadow that one sees was noticed sometimes in one and sometimes in another room of the castle, frightening King Frederick William IV so much that at the sight of it he is said to have bad the first attack of the mental disease to which he tinally succumbed. io great ha.s been the fear of the apparition that servants employed in the castle have left it in haste, dreading to see the mysterious object, the presence of which no one could account for. The fact is that this famous specter, whatever it may portend, does not strike one at first as being anything supernatural. It seems more like the rejection of a living hand, covered with a red glove, as seen in a looking glass. It is enly after a while that one realizes hat there is something uncunni' lc the soectaci.

CINCINNATI, O., Jan. f. Trades and then more trades were dis-cus-sed by the score of baseball magnates? in town Monday to attend the National commission meeting here Tuesday, but no trades res-ulted from the discussions insofar as close observation could tell Monday night. At an informal meeting of National league members the subject of war taxew proved to be the most interesting topic. Previous to the meeting Pres't Tenor had appointed a committee consisting of tec'y John Heydler of the league, John Foster of the New York club and Walter Hapgood of the Boston club, to consult with government officials relative to the payment of war taxes on passes to baseball games. At the meeting this committee was empowered to widen its scope and to include the entire war tax problem as it will concern baseball. The old Federal league peace agreement likewise came up at he meeting of the National league members;. A representative of the Federal league was present for the purpose, according tc Pros't Tener "of seeing if the matter could not be forwarded." Fres't Tener stated ihat inasmuch as the meeting was entirely formal no action was taken, but it was stated, tinofficially, but reliably that the Federal league will be paid shortly and finis written insofar as the National league is concerned. Owing to the absence of Pres't Johnson of the American league, who wired that he was snowbound in Chicago and could not reach here until Tuesday morning, the annual meeting of the commission was postponed until its American league member could be present. Numerous baseball men, however, put in e-arly appearances.

With a view to giving the public a correct understanding' of the sugar situation, the following' FACTS are presented : Existing conditions are world wide in their effect, not in any sense local. Any consideration of the question of available sugar supply must take into account a series of extraordinary factors. The immediate effect of the declaration of the European war was to cut off from the world's market the sugar of the Central Powers. About one-third of the world's total production formerly came from within the present battlelines of Europe. The Western battlefront passes through the sugar producing territory of France and of Belgium. In consequence, England, France and other foreign countries have competed with the United States for Cuba's cane sugar. Not only did this cause an advance in the price of raw and refined sugar, but until competition was checked by the recent agreement among the Allies, it resulted in lessening the supply available to the people of this country last fall. At the same time, an abundance of sugar hundreds of thousands of tons has been locked up in far-away Java, owing to the lack of ships to transport it. It is no more available than unmined gold. To provide ships to bring this sugar here or to Europe would withdraw them from the more important business of carrying our soldiers and their supplies overseas, as Mr. Hoover has pointed out. The nation-wide movement to save the fruit crop last season greatly increased the use of sugar. While the quantity in the sugar bowl was for this and other reasons lessened, this sugar is wisely stored as food in preserved fruits, jams and jellies. "Every jar of fruit preserved adds that much to our insurance of victory, adds that much to hasten the end of

this conflict.1

Because of the increased demand for sugar, more sugar cane has been planted in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and Louisiana, the chief sources from which the United States gets cane sugar. The reports from Cuba and Porto Rico make the situation more favorable than a month ago for a supply to meet the sugar needs of all who are dependent on this source including this country, our soldiers abroad and the Allies. We buy raw cane sugar in the open market and refine it. To the extent of our ability, we are co-operating with the Government to insure a fair distribution of cane sugar, to stabilize the price to the consumer and to prevent hoarding and waste. We kept our refineries working last fall so long as there was a ton of raw sugar to be had. In order to make our output of refined sugar go as widely as possible, we distribute Domino Cane Sugars in convenientsize cartons and small cotton bags. These small-size packages make it easy for grocers to limit sales to actual needs and to prevent hoarding. They help to prevent waste in the home. Housewives can cooperate with this plan by asking for these package sugars. It will be necessary for grocers and consumers to watch carefully their distribution and purchases during the approaching period of readjustment. The refineries are now starting up and supplies of raw sugar coming forward but it will take weeks, and possibly months, for the return of normal conditions. In war-time and at all times it is our aim to safeguard the interests of the public we serve.
