IMPERIAL CRUSADE.

POSSIBLE PHASES OF THE KAISER'S VISIT TO PALESTINE.

Knmeroa* Dignitaries of the Protestant Church Will Accompany the Versatile Emperof-Soine Uncertainty as to What the Vatican Wilt Do.

[Special Correspondence.]

BERLIN, Aqg. 80.—The universal interest aroused' by the first news of the Emperor William's projected visit to the Holy Land was significant as point ing to a general belief that important motives of a bidden character were determining the trip. The foreign office here remained mute and enigmatical on the subject, and no amount of coaxing or dipiortiucy could draw forth from it a plain ami straightforward state-

KMPKKOi: WIM.IAM.

ment. Ortahi details, however, have now transpired, and tho following in formation, which has not hitherto been published, may bo taken as conveying absolutely the latest developments in the matter:

Fir.st of all tho kaiser will proceed to Turin. In that city ho will be lodged in the royal palace, and his attendants will ho pnt up in the sumptuous Palaz 7.0 Chiable.se. He will visit tho Interimtion exposition, which is thero being held, and will have a meeting with the king and queen of Italy. The interview will give William II the opportunity of winning over Humbert I to syinpa thetie consideration lor his voyage. This, from his point of view, will bo useful, as the other party to tho triplo alliance, the Emperor Francis Joseph, is, for reaisonH j^iveu below, very far from satisfied with tho project.

From Turin tho emperor will proceed to Venice, and on Thursday, Oct. ltt, he will set out from that port for Conn tan tinople.

After visiting the sultan ho will turn towfjjrd Bucharest and Oostanzaand will call upon Charles I,king of Roumania. From there he will direct his steps once more toward Constantinople, where he will embark for Haifa, in Asia Minor Thcnee he goes direct to Jerusalem. On leaving Palestine ho will proceed tc Egypt to pass ton dnys as tho khedive't guest.

The kaiser has beon liberal in issuing invitations for persons to join him in the "pilgrimage." Ho will bo accompanied by numerous dignitaries of the Prptestaut church, not only from Germany, but also from Belgium, Austria and Switzerland. He likewise urged prelates of tho Roman Catholic church to join the expedition and was particn lar, above all, that Cardinal Kopp, arch bishop of Breslau, should ipuko one of the party. The Vatican, however, which reserves to itself a- decision in similar matters, has not yet rendered judg ment. Probably it will not countenance auy direct participation in the journey. The apostolic delegate in Jerusalem will, however, be instructed to go forth and ceremoniously await the emperor'f arrival, and it may be that a cardinal will proceed to Jerusalem to bo present at the more imposing functions.

From Vienna comes word that both court and government are greatly pre occupied by this voyage. It is there be lioved that the kaiser wishes to establish a German protectorate over Palestine.

The latest issue at hand of The Reichs wehr. the oflieial conservative orgau of Vienna, coutains a heated article on this subject, which is being much com men ted on in government circles here. The authoritative Austrian newspaper remarks in a tone of derision that the coming expedition has all the appearance of a ernsade aud queries if the German sovereign will proceed to Jerusalem in the same manner as did fytrbarostti and Geoffrey de Bouillon. Comiug to toe question of protectorate, the tone of the paper is serious aud even minatory Only two kinds of protectorate. it state*, can be aspired to by the emperor, and neither of them is possible in this ease. The spiritual and ecclesiastical protectorate over the Holy Land is already being exercised by the pope, assisted bv the French episcopacy The temporal protectorate no longer exists, but if it is to be renewed it can only be In favor of the emperor of A us trie, the traditional protector of the faithful of Palestine.

It is a well known fact that the kaiser entertains the purpose of endeavoring to influence the choice of the next pope. Ho would, above all, have the prelates like Cardinal Rampolla and Cardinal Paroccbi, who lean toward France, sot aside anl some man, such as Cardinal Serafino Vsnnutelli. who has sympathies for the triple alliances, elected. To further this end he has already done much to win the good will of the sacral college of cardiaals. In the Holy Land he will have anew opportunity of ingratiating himself with that influential body. It ii hij intention to buy hack from the saltan «ome of the ihore celebrated shrines, audi these he will intrust to the custody of tho Fran *i*ean monks, who at* already in charge of many of tho« historical 9oto.

DRYDOCKING BATTLESHIPS.

Encle Sain'a Giants May Be Taken In Two at a Time.

TSpecial Correspondence.!

BAOOKLVS, Sept. 12.— Although the big timber drydock officially known cs dock No. 3 has been completed for somttime, it was only made available for service a few days ago, and, strange to relate, the battleship iowa, which was the first vessel to enter the dock after it was tested, is the first ship to be placed in the big structure after the repairs to it have been completed. This dock is the most capacious one of its kind in the United States and was built for the purpose of taking in the largest ships of the service. It has been under construction for several years, during which time many scandals have arisen over the work. Defects were found in the plans whicli uot only caused" consider able delay in completing the work, but added many thousands of dollars to the cost over the contract price.

The navy was considerably hampered for want of docking facilities for the larger ships, and, while the regulations prescribe that each of the steel ships must be docked every six months or at least once a year, there have been some of tbem that have not been taken out of the water for 18 months, and conse quently the hull plates have become very foul. It was found necessary to send the battleship Indiana to the Eng lish drydocks at Halifax in order that tho bilge keels could be placed on her hull, as it was found that without them the ship rolled to the danger point.

Tho dock was begun early in the nineties, bat it was not until a little more than a year ago that it was completed, or at least ready to be tested The first vessel to enter the big structure was the monitor Puritan. Tho great size of the dock was not shown until that vessel was placed in it. The Puritan took up very little of the room In fact, two vessels of her size could easily be placed in the dock. This test was considered to be satisfactory, and the Iowu, then being prepared for her speed trial, was placed in the big structure. A few mouths later the battleship Massachusetts was placed in the dock, and it was then that the weakness showed itself. The alters on the right sido of the dock began to bulge, and in less than an hour after they started the dock was half full of water. Quick work was necessary to get the big battleship out of the dock, as the officers in charge of tho dock feared it would collapse. An investigation was ordered, and two of the officers who were in charge of the work were reprimanded. Tho trial of the other is still going on.

An inspection of the dock was made, and it was found necessary to close it and remove considerable of the heavy sea wall and drive sheet piling around tho dock. The ground on which the structure was built is filled with quicksand, and it was believed that this was the cause of the damages to the big structure. Upon investigation it was found that a larsje hole had beeu made in tho apron of tho dock near the caisson seat. It was also found that much of tho piling that was supposed to be

driven into the solid ground at the entrance to tho dock for 45 feet was only plucod 15 feet below the gate seat and in some placos even less than that. The dock was in a serious condition, and it was thought by some of tho experts that it would have to be abandoned. Naval Coustructor Bowles, however, was of a different opinion, and he was ordered to take charge of the work of repairs. These were begun soveral months ago under the most disadvantageous conditions, as the officers of the yards and docks bureau declared that the work of repairing the dock belonged to them. Then there was no Jiaterial with which to do tho work properly, and this caused considerable delay. When the work was commenced, everything worked satisfactorily. The greatest part of the work was in constructing the cofferdam at the entrauce to the dock. It is the lar gest cofferdam that has ever been built and is in itself a marvelous piece of engineering. It ran aoross the entrance of the dock about 135 feet and cost about 0,000.

The dock is 670 feet long and 105 wide at tho top It is deep enough to take the largest vessel in the service when fully loaded. Three large pumps, with a capacity of more than 300,000 gallons a minute, are installed in the pumphouee near the big structure and are used to empty the dock, whi*t when full contains more than 17,000,000 gallons. The dock originally was to have cost, about $600,000. With the re pairs and tne many changes that had to be made the cost will reach nearly $1. 500,000. F. A VERDC.

Wanted the Baby tilted.

W© may not all reach the point of abstraction of the man who put his umbrella to bed and stood himself up in the comer, but nevertheless absentmindedness is a common fault.

We have all sent off envelopes without a stamp and sometimes minus an address, though we may not have gone to the length of the man who addressed the letter to himself and signed itwifch bin correspondent's name, so we can all appreciate the following anecdote:

A Manchester father, of a "wool gathering turn «f mind," entered a grocer's shop lately, with his baby on one arm and a paraffin can in his band. Setting the can down on the counter, he said, gently: "Sit there moment, dear," and, holding the baby out to the dazed shopkeeper. be mid:

Little Marble Imported Now.

The importation of marble to the United States has almost ceased. It is only now and then that a cargo arrives at this port, while a few years ago a fleet of sailing vessels brought many cargoes annually from the famous Carrara quarries in Italy to Philadelphia. Marble buildings seem to be becoming things of the past, aud the tombstone makers find little demand for marble tombs, slabs or monuments. Granite has takeu the place of marble everywhere, even in the cemeteries, where marble shafts and slabs were formerly the only proper things. Granite, unlike marble, does not require very frequent cleaning aud looks well without being touched up for years. It also admits of a high polish and does not show thr marks of rust by contact with metal, a marble does.—Philadelphia Record.

The instrument was caused to register ice water a number of times in the regions below, but there was no response. The thirst kept on increasing and the gentlemen got hot in the collar. One of them spoke of going down and challenging the clerk and the bellboys to a boxing match. "No, don't do that," remarked one of the gentlemen. "Just watch me— I'll befc-I'Il get 'em."

Cargoes

Shifted.

"Once in awhile we read," said Mr. Bozzle, "that the ship So-and-so or the steamer So-and-so has returned to port, or has arrived perhaps with 'a decided list cargo shifted.' Sometimes we see a land craft, a truck, with cargo shifted—a big pile of boxes, towering high, shaken over to one side or the other by continued jolting along on the side oi the street on the slope. "A load thus shifted can't be shaken back by running along on the opposite slope of the road. It is like a stick of wood that has been bent and kept bent till the grain is set. Whatever you do with it the crook stays in. "If care iB exercised in turning corners and in navigating generally, the shifted load can usually be carried to its destination as it is without upsetting, though it may work harder. The experienced truckman knows just what can be done with it, and whether it hat shifted as far as it will go, and all that. If it is so bildly shifted as to make the operation of the truck difficult or dangerous, he hauls to one side by the curt and anchors—that is to say, he halts and unloads the shifted top courses of bis cargo and then reloads agd makes everything trim and secure and sets out again."—New York Sun.

Practical, but Cold Blooded.

I have a .friend here in town, a young business woman, whose common sense is enough to make one's blood run cold at times. I went to see her new flat a few days ago, and I was delighted with a cushioned divan in one corner of her sitting room. It was, us many divans that belong to young business women are, a box with a hinged lid, but as it had handles on it aud was bound with iron bands and was alto getber so much stronger and more desirable than divan boxes usually are. I asked her where she bought it. "I didn't buy it," said she. "It was giveu to me. You know the woman where 1 boarded last year came into a lot of money through tho death of her grandfather. The old gentleman died in Florida, and the remains were sent here They were in a mahogany coffin, and the coffin—well"—and she kicked the divan with her heels—"the coffin was in this. I didn't see any reason for letting the box go to waste, and it makes a lovely couch. Don't you think so?"

It Was a Pretty Hat.

A young lady of the east end had just received several proofs of different styles of photographs of herself and had kept them until the usual semiweekly visit of her best gentleman friend. He was punctual in arriving that night, but he never imagined that it was to bo his last call for an indefinite period.

He had no sooner seated himself in the parlor than the young lady brought in the photographs for his inspection. He looked them over very carefully and finally selected the only one of tho several pictures showing a hat on tho subject. It was a pretty big hat aud beautifully trimmed. The piece of millinery caught his eye at first glance, and he most innocently remarked: "I think this is the best photograph. The hat is so pretty. It is a very fine picture of the hat.

The young man did not notice his fatal error until too late. His visit was short and uninteresting that eveniug, and now he wishes that' the art of photography had never been discovered.— Pittsburg Dispatch.

The English Army.

In the 40 years that elapsed between the battle of Waterloo and the fighting in the Crimea the British army attained a maximum of inefficiency. It is only now, when tho chief actors in the great drama of tho struggle with Russia are dead, that the public is beginning to learn the extent of the incapacity aud inefficiency of the men responsible for the equipment and training of the British army. But for the courage of the Br tish private the Crimean campaign would have been a disastrous failure. Indeed but for the accident of a fog on the morning of the battle of Inkerman, which enabled a handful of British troops to impress 40,000 Russian soldiers with the idea that they were more numerous and better supported than they really were, tho English army would have been driven into the Black sea ai-d the subsequent history of Europe altered beyond recognition.—Lon don Standard.

The hurry and bustle of the housewife Is extremely wearing upon the delicate organism of womanhood.

Her intense earnestness in whatever she undertakes, tempts her constantly to go beyond her strength.

Mrs. L. E. Browning, of Pueblo^ Colo^ was one who did this. "Eight years ago," said she, "my husband died and I was left with three children to care for and educate. "The burdens of life fell heavily upon me# but I determined to make the best of it. "I succecded in my undertakings for a livelihood, but in doing so overtaxed myself. and undermined my health.

I was very ill about two years ago with blood poisoning, caused by an abscess that had not received proper treatment. "The disease settled in my throat for a time, causing intense agony.

Then inflammatory rheumatism set in. For four months and a half I was a prisoner in my room, most of the time confined to my bed.

My hands were swollen so that I could not feed myself, and the swelling in my feet and ankles would have made walking impossible if I had been strong enough. "One day, after considerable treatment, my physician brought me a box of pilk. 'You need a tonic,' he said, 'and something that will act at once, and this is the best medicine for that purpose.' "Pills 1" I exclaimed in surprise as he opened the box and showed them.

Yes,' he replied,4 th«e are Dr. William's* Pink Pills for Pale Feople, but you need not be alarmed, they are not physic, and my word for it, they'll do you good.'

Before I had been taking them a week I noticed a great improvement in my condition. Soon my rheumatism was gone*

I grew stronger each day and now am inthe best of health. I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, the best tonic.

A friend not long ago was telling me of her mother who is at a critical period in her life* "She was subject to terrible fainting spells, and the entire family would work over her. "Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills have not only stopped the fainting spells, but given her so much strength that she is able to take up life's duties again."

To more highly endorse her words, Mrs* Browning made affidavit before George W. Gill, Notary Public.

All diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the blood, and most all come from that, are cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

They act dircctly upon the blood. Building it up with lacking constituents? it becomes rich and red, the various organs are nourished and stimulated to activity in performing their functions, and thus disease is eliminated from the system.

These pills are sold everywhere, the sale being enormous.
