From the London Graphite. The German emperor is, without doubt, one of the busiest men in Europe, and it can be no sinecure to hold any ap- pointment in his immediate entourage. State affairs, to which he has to give his close personal attention, are almost of hourly occurrence, and it is known that he never neglects any dtity of this sort. As a matter of fact he gives personal atten- tion to all matters, even in some cases those of minute detail, wherein he consid- ers the welfare of the country over which he rules is concerned. In addition to this he is always moving about from one place to another, 30 that the number of miles he must travel during the year if computed would, doubtless, be found to exceed the total covered by the most rahid American | globe trotter. How he manages it all-is a source of speculative wonder not only to the majority of his subjects, but to the peo- ple of other nations, who read with as- tonishment of his ubiquity. ‘The system adonied by the emperor to enable him to keep abreast of the work he has to do Is clearly shown at the army maneuvers. There is certainly no fussy hurry exhibited, but still there rever is a minute lost through want of forethought on the part of those responsible for the ar- rangements. Every hour of the day from early morning till late in the evening has its duties, and to enable the emperor to fulfill his engagements calls forth some able generalship and skillful organization. Take the program of one day as an ex- ample. He js sleeping at some place a few miles from the scene of the maneuv- ers. Early in the morning he has import- ant interviews with his secretaries and the chief of his staff. At 7 o'clock he is in uniform and starting for the maneuvers. After Kis arrival, about 9 o'clock, at the scene of operations he remains in the sad- dle, riding sbout, watching the fighting until close upon 1 o'clock. Then on the “cease firing” sounding, he has the com- manding oflicers assemble, and there is the usual “critique,” at which it is clear that he has given the very closest attention to the tactics of the two for This duty fultilled,he is always as fast as four horses can take him back to the railway, and then on by his train to a town perhaps thirty miles oft, where he lunches with the chief officials, and afterward honors them with some good advice. After an hour or two devoted to the work that has been follow- ing him about all day, he again enters his train and is whirled off to the schloss where he intends sleeping. There he is kept busy until the dinner hour, at which he may entertain over one hundred guests. It is a late hour when the last of them, the favored few, are allowed to leave. On one occasion I met two of the attaches who had beea with the emperor the whole of a day when the time had’ been occupied as described, and they looked wrecks of humanity, but when I saw the emperor himself an hour or so later—it was then S$ o'clock—he looked a3 fresh and smiling as usual. +e0-——____ QUAYS MODEL FARM. His New Home in Lancaster Will Be One of the Finest in the State. From the Pittsburg Commercfal Gazette. Senator Quay visite. his Lancaster coun- ty farm on his return home to Beaver from the meeting of the state republican com- mittee at Pniladelphia. He has not seen the place since last fall, when he spent a day there in company with Senator Came- ron. Since then it has been improved un- der the direction of Deputy Auditor Gen- era! Friday by the addition of a magnificent new barn, fences and outbuildings. The purpose of Col. Quay’s proposed visit Is to arrange-for the remodeling of the house and other improvements. This 1s one of the finest farms in Lan- caster county. It consists of 135 acres, and lies along the line of the Lancaster and Columbia electric railway, midway between Columbia and Mountville. It is bounded on the south by the Pennsylvania railroad, which has built a small station near by known as Glen Manor. The land was taken up in 1741 dy Christian Garber. It remained in that family continuously until last October, when it was bought for Sena- tor Quay by Mr. Friday. Shortly before the sale the large stone 2arn was destroy- ed by fire. The new barn fs the finest and most con- venient in Pennsylvania. It has a front- age of ninety feet and a depth of ninety- three feet. The basement 18 used as a stable, and Is so arranged tha: one can stand anywhere on the lower floor and see ell _the horses and cattle feeding. Each stall is automatically supplied with water from a large spring. The second floor is fs lent depth to admit of three four- being driven on the floor at the same time. Two immense corn cribs and an agricultural implement ehed are built In the barn, for the publie over all the land Irinz | | 7 CONDITIONS OF THE STAR’S GREAT OFFER. 1.

CHAPTER V.—“THEY'D TEMPT A PRIN- = CESS.” No sooner had Ben Golding thus given vent to the absorbing passion of his life than he began to rage inwardly with vain regrets. He rather prided himself upon his knowledge of human nature, and, like many another who flatters himself with the same conceit, his real attainments in that direc tion were meager. That he could amuse ing, desperately. stand?” her people to.keep for-h'm,” wsested Werren, with a faint smile. The color mounted again to the traveler's cheeks. ‘ “You're likely to make a lot of trouble for yourself, Mr. Warren,” he exclaimed, wth wavering control of his passion; “the diamonds I am speaking of are mine as much as they are Freeman's, and I tell you plainly I wouldn't trust the-honor of any himself by drawing out such simple char- acters as he had found congregated in Sam Springer’s store seemed to him high proof of his ability, and it exasperated and hu- miliated him that this backwoods farmer should not only balk and puzzle him, but cause him to Icse his temper and expose himself. Perhaps the chief difficulty with Golding was that his knowledge of human nature had not extended to a thorough under- standing of his own. He had certainly not realized that the imperious will that he masked under easy, affable demeanor had been for months, aye, years, devoted to one purpose, until he had become a man of one idea, toward which he had bent his own life and had tried to bend all other lives They Would Tempt a Princess. and circumstances with which he came in contact. He did not realize this now, but he saw only too plainly that the methods he had employed to extort the truth from Nicholas Warren had signally failed. Golding wished that he had been more cool and diplomatic, and there again he failed to see that such conduct on his part would be utterly im- possible when the issue directly concerned the secret desire of his soul. “Diamonds!"" The word was the epitome of his am- bitions, and at the very thought of them his passion had burst the bends of pru- dence and laid bare his motives. The mischief done, he sought to make the best of it, not by retreat, but by standing his ground and watching for some like ex- pression from Mr. Warren. Golding’s face Was wet with perspiration, and his cheeks flamed with excitement. Mr. Warren's attitude had not changed since he had expressed his resentment at being suspected of crime. He stood erect, his arms slightly bent, his fists clenched, his brows contracted, looking steadily at Golding. He did not start or wince when Golding made his statement about Dutton. In his own way he, too, was analyzing the situation, and his forced calmness seemed to the traveler as certain evidence that the’ announcement concerning Dutton’s dia- monds was not news to him. “Well, Mr. Golding.” said Warren, after a moment, “I didn't find any ioads of dia- monds, nor anything else to betoken that Dutton carried any such stuff about him.” Golding wiped his face, muttering: “He had plenty of ’em when he left Af- rica.”” ‘Africa is a long way off,” Warren, with a elight sneer. “I know it,” responded Golding, deter- mined not to let his passion break forth again; “no one should know it better than I, who have just come from there, but you mustn’t forget that diamonds are not things that a man loses easi! or that he spends ike money, or that he gives other people to keep for him.” “Exactly, but I should say they were just the sort of things other people might take frcm a man if they had the chance.” Golding was puzzled again. Was there some subtle meaning in this farmer's half- contemptuous language? Was that fierce g.eam in his eyes indicative of the fact that ‘Warren already had possessed himself of Dutton’s diamonds, and meant to keep them at all hazard? “Tnat’s what I’m driving at, Mr. War- ran,” gaid Golding, “and that’s what ex- plains my getting hot about it. I aon’t mean, didn’t mean to accuse you, you un- derstand, but somebody has got Freeman Dutton’s diamonds. Why! man, they'd tempt a princess! The president ‘alone is worth 2 kingdom!” “President of what?” asked Warren. “The president is the name of one of the diamonds,” responded Golding, !n a broken yeice. “Well, look here, Mr. Gold'ng, it seems to m) your eapianaticn doesn’t expliin as much as it ought to. If you was Freeman tton, and you was lying in hel most kelied, nd your diamonds had been stulen, I could understend you. But why do cut up so ibout qnothér man’s proper-y?”" “Yreemian and I are partners,” said Guld- remarked human keing who saw them-and found an opportunity to get them. I'll,tell you more; they have already caused contention and blocdshed; nothing, understand me, nothing shall stand between me and my recovery of them. I have a right to.demand what you know of Dutton?” » “And I've a right not to answer.” “Careful! I've told you my determina- tion—” 5 1 “Mr.Golding,” said Warren 6lowly,“you're getting on your hizh horse again, and I've @ great mind to kick you out of the house.” ‘The traveler heaved a great sigh and took a turn across the room and back. “Don't,” he said, “it will be much better if we can understand each other. Shall we postpone this discussion until after the dac- tor comes? It does nelther of us any good.” “I don't quite see the use of postponing or continuing either,” responded Warren. “The only thing is I ain't going to stand here and be accused of crime. You ought to say plainly what you mean.” “I've no right to make an accusation yet,” admitted Golding, in a pleading manner. “I've been hasty, but you must see that b: and-by something's got to be asked about how Freeman came te be almost murdered and how that cabin was set on fire, and—” Golding stopped abruptly. His reflection were leading him again straight to an ex- pression of his suspicions as to Mr. Warren. “Yes,” said Warren, “I suppose those questions will be asked, and it beats me to know who will answer them. We may as well let the matter drop for a while. I ain't much good on argument, but I can see that if you hold the whole world in distru3t so far as these diamonds are concerned, you're not exactly singling me out for insult in suspecting me of stealing them.” ‘I didn’t say—" bezan Golding, when the dcor opened and Elsie peerel timidly in. She had been there alone from the time when Dutton had been laid on the bed in the spare room and Will had rode off to bring the doctor. ‘The excited tones of Golding’s voice after the villagers had gone aud her father’s quieter but not less earnest replies had come to her as vague, uncertain warnings of danger, as thunder rumbles in the distance before the storm breaks. She had caught occasional words, but not with any connected meaning. She was trying not to listen, and Goldin hysterteal exclamation about “Icads of 4 promised to throw any light upon the sit- uaticn. And far from clearing it these words only made the situation the more perplexing and troublous. What could diamonds have to do in Granite, where all but murder had been dcne upon the person of a strange man, whose presence had thrown her parents into extreme agitation. Elsie thought that it would be hard enough to bear it if only she knew gomething about it, but to be in ignorance and he condemned to sit in the kitchen by herself with so much excite- ment raging in the house that the atmos- phere itself seemed to tingle with it was intolerable. She had wanted to run to her father when first the voice in the sit- ting room became passionate, but she had restrained herself, influenced by the very plain desire of her parents to keep their trouble from her, but as the moments passed the loneliness of the kitchen be- He Laid His Hand on Her Shoulder. came too oppressive, and she ventured to open the door from the hall that ran threvgh the house into the chamber where her mother was watching the wounded man. The man lay with his face turned from the light. Beside the bed her mother knelt, her hands clasped upon the quilt that seemed not whiter than her cheeks. Her eyes were strained in a fixed gaze of— Elsie knew not what, terror, supplication, dread, defiance—it cculd not be told wheth- er any, or all of these, or more were writ- ten_uyon Mrs. Warren's face, unless one could penetrate the mask of mortality and read the undying secrets of her soul. Startled and abashed, Elsie quietly with- drew, and more than ever depressed, not alone by vague fear, but by the sense that she was shut out from participation in mat- ters that she was certain concerned her deeply, she turned to the room where her father and the stranger were conversing. She believed that her father would forbid her to come in, for anything contrary to his habit was to be expected of him now. Indeed, when first he saw her at the half- opened door he séemed to be on the point of turning her away, and then an expres- sion of profound relief came over his feat- ures and he said: “Come in, Elsie. Have you been alone? I thought you were with your mother.” Mamma is—I guess mamma thought I was with you,” stammered Elsie. “This is my @aughter, Mr. Golding,” sald Warren, The traveler bowed graciously. Her pres- ence was a relief to him, too. It would give him time to think, and perhaps to master the passion that, though it ruled his life, was only an aggressive, trouble- some force when it was arotised by an emergency like this that demanded coolness and steadiness. “I think I saw Miss Warren as we came in,” he said. Elsie acknowledged his words with an in- clination of the head and sank into a chair, “I hope the excitement of the evening won't affect you disagreeably,”” continued Golding; “knowing my friend as well as I do I am very hopeful of his recovery.” Got company, Nick?” queried Gran'’pa Kirk, awaking at this moment and peering curiously across the room at Golding. “Why didn’t ye wake me up?” ‘No company, father,” responded War- ren, with a significant glance at Golding; “a stranger dropped in for a moment in Passing. Don’t you know it’s long past your bed time?” Is it?” The old man began slowly to rise. Mr. Warren stepped to his chair and helped him. “I mustn’t get into the habit of siiting up late at my time of life. You needn't help me, I guess I'm old enough to go alone.” ‘I'll just go with you to the stairs, fa- ther,” insisted Warren, again glancing at Golding, who nodded his head, as if to say that he understood and excused his host. Gran’pa Kirk’s room was in the back of the house, over the kitchen, and he reached it by stairs that opened from the latter room. The old man hobbled along, grumb- ling first at the lack of attention by which he was allowed to fall asleep in his chair— “sleep that didn’t do nokody no good"—and then at the over attentiveness which his scn-in-law displayed in conducting him to his_room. Warren ignored the childish plaints, closed the sitting room door behind him, conducted gran’pa to the stairway and left He Felt in the Pockets. | him as soon as he had begun to ascend. He then went quickly and lightly to the spare room, and when he opened the door he saw his wife in exactly the attitude that had startled Elsie. She did not notice him until he laid his hand upon her shoul- der, whereupon she bent her head and buried it in the quilt, moaning, “Oh, Nicho- las!” ~ “Has he been conscious?” asked Warren, in a whisper. “No,” she answered, sobbing, “he has lain just as he is. I should almost think he was dead.” : Her husbard stood with his hand still upon her shoulder, silent, and she looked up at him suddenly, with alarm in her eyes. “What is the matter?” he asked. | “I was"thinking,” she replied, “of what you said on the mountain when I brought him from the cabin, and I was afraid the same thing was in your thoughts now.” “What did I say?” “Don’t you remember? that it would be better ff he died!” “Yes, I remember. I wasn’t sure that you had noticed it. That was why I asked you to repeat it. Well, Martha, the same thing was in my thoughts just now. “I knew it!” gasped Mrs. Warren, “and od forgive me, it was in my thoughts, too!” Mr. Warren was painfully shocked. It sounds so much worse wien you say emarked, somber! she admitted, “it’s a wicked thought and I have been fighting it and praying that it might be taken from me. It won't go. I can't see why he should have—" she repressed a sob and added, “we must do everything in our power to help him to get well, Nicholas.” “Yes,” he answered, absently, thing.”” He went around to the further side of the ted, where, on a chair concealed by the footboard from Mrs. Warren as she knelt, Dutton’s clothing had been placed. With arms akimbo he looked down at it a mo- ment. “And this stranger?” Warren. “His name is Golding,” said her husband, raising Dutton’s coat, with an appearance of carelessness, from the chair. “Does he krow?” Mr. Warren was passing his fingers over the pockets of the garment. All seemed to be empty save one. A little pressure of the fingers and a glance into it showed that it contained nothing but papers. “Does he know, Nicholas?” “Oh—excuse me; no, I think not.” Mrs. Warren looked at her husband earnestly a moment. She could see only his head and shoulders. He appeared to be in deep thought, and she again buried her head in her arms, oxtending them full length upon the bed. “What is he, and how did he come here?” she asked. Mr. Warren was feeling with thumb and forefinger all along the edges of the coat. There was no telling what hiding place might be concealed in that lining. “I don't know what he fs,” he replied; “he says he and Dutton were partners. He didn’t say in what. They've both come from Africa recently. “Africa!” repeated Mrs. Warren. It see! ed so far away, so like another world. Yes- terday it would have seemed that anything in or from that dis tinent would be in any manner connected with her peaceful home. There was nothing in the coat, and Mr. Warren laid it carefully across’ the back of the chair. Then he picked up Dutton’s vest. He had himself spoken in whispe since he entered the chamber, and_ his wife’s responses had been almost as light, for in a sick room one instinctively lowers the voice. Had they listened they might have heard the murmur of Golding’s voice in the sitting room, as he carried on a one- sided conversation with Elsie, but they were intent upon their own thoughts. They neither heard the low base of Golding’s speech, nor its sudden cessation, nor his quick, light step across the hall. He threw open the door just as Mr. War- ren had thrust his fingers into a pocket in the vest, In which he felt something Rard and irregular. “I allow,” said Golding harshly, “that we won’t stand on ceremony here, and I'll just come in and help.” (Zo be continued tomorrow.) “every- continued Mrs. (Some misunderstanding has been caused as to the prize story competition by an error in a reading notice stating that the prize would be given to the first correct solution received.

Bacon, Georgia's new United States Senator, de- nies that he has in any wise changed his mind on the silver quesfion, he having been practically elected as a free silver man. “I did not make up my mind hastily on the subject,” said he, “an the opinion I have formed wil! not be easily changed. I be- lieve in practical bimetallism, in which both gold and silver ure required and used with equal interchangeable value as. the money of final payment. I am opposed to either gold monomeiatlism or silver mono- metallism. Practical bimetallism is, in my opinion, the great need of the business world, and I do not think it by any means impossible of accomplishment. The iuves- tigations I was able to make while abroad have greatly strengthencd my previous convictions on this subject.” | monologue performers, THIRTEEN TIPSY COONS. The Carousers That Farmer Anderson Discovered in His Cider Mill House. A Copper Hill, N. J., special to the New York Sun says Thirteen new coon skins are hanging on the back of Hosea Anderson's barn. They were taken from the bodies of thirteen coons whose fondness for cider resulted in death. In fact, they went to a drunkard’s grave. Anderson owns a big farm and an exten- sive apple orchard. He is the largest manu- facturer. of cider and applejack in Hunter- don county. About two weeks ago he began making cider. The cider mill is under the corner of a large building situated a short distance from his dwelling. It is the custom to shut and lock the doors of the cider-mill house every night when work is finished, but they were left open by mistake a few nights ago. Anderson had just got into hed and begun the first chapter of an all-night's sleep when he was aroused by Mrs. Ander- son, who gave hime a nervous shake and asked: “Hosea, what's that noise?” Anderson got his eyes and ears open after a while, and heard a racket somewhere in the vicinity of the cider-mill house. After lstening attentively a few minutes, he jump- ed out of bed with his temper up to the ex- pressive point, and, pulling on his trousers, said: < “Confound that Jim Watson, he left the eider-mill door unlocked and the wind’s blowin’ it open. I'll hunt this county over tomorrow for some man that I can depend on to look out for things when I'm busy.” Bang went the door, and with a growl Anderson slapped his hat on and started for the cider-mill house. When he got about half way down to the building he heard a peculiar sound that came through the open door. It was a combination of sharp yelps and snarls. Something unusual was evidently up, and with a thought of cider thieves he hurried back to the honse, and, getting a shotgun, sneaked back, in the shadow cf the trees, toward the cider mill. Creeping up to a place where ther’ was a knoat-hole in the side of the building, he examined the interior. The sight he saw quieted his fears. There were no burglars in sight. For the purpose of letting in sun- light and air, a portion of the roof of the elder mill had been removed, ani through the opening the mooniight was streaming, making the interior of the build!ng bright as day. The floor was partly covered with barrels filled with cider. The bungholes were open to give the cider a chance to work. Some of the cider was a week oid and had what the farmers call a tang to it. That means a bite to it, and at that age cider Is pleasant to take and it is very apt to put a twist into the drinker’s walk if he swallows enough of it. Around and over these barrels were crawling and staggering a lot of coons, and some had their sharp noses thrust into the bungholes. Coons are very fond of sweet cider, and this party had struck a picnic. + Anderson counted thirteen animais, and every one of them was pretty well jagged up. Some were on the floor waddling round with an uncertain gait; others were striving to get to the top of the barrels once more, but were too weak and groggy to pull them- selves up. A couple sat’on their haunches facing each other, and as they swayed from side to side snarled like a pair of old women. Occasionally three or four got into a muss over the possession of a bunghole, and in the rough and tumble rolled off the barrels to the floor. Anderson slipped around to the other side of the building and locked the door. Then he went to the house and turned in for the night. The next morning he went to the eider mill bright and early. He found the thirteen coons there. With the exception of three they were stretched out on the floor sleeping off their debauch. Three of them were wandering aimlessly around the room, occasionally coming together and fighting like bulldogs. Anderson got his dog Jeff in- terested in the coons, and inside of ten min- utes Jeff had shaken every one of them into eternity. ——__+e+_____ GOOD TIMES FOR VARIETY ARTISTS. Change In Their Fortunes Caused by he Continuous Performance Theaters From the New York Sun. . Prior to the beginning of the era of farce ecmedies in regular theaters the variety or specialty houses were regarded as the chief schools of acting. That ts, a clever young man or woman found it nearly impossible to secur: employment in one of the regular theaters with any prcspect of advance- ment. On the other hard, a variety man- eger either in New York or one of the reighboring cities would be willing to give the newcomer what vas called a chance— the privilege of appearing without pay at @ performance, usually at a matinee on Monday. The conditions of the arrange- ments were simple. The aspiring young man or ambitious young woman would go on, az the expression is in the variety thea- ter, for a turn, which means that he or she would appear before the audience to sing, dance, recite or give imitations, as the case might be. If the audience re- garded the newcomer favorably and testi- fied to its approval by applause, then the man or woman having left the stage would come on egain for a second turn. But if the specialty or act of the tyro was un. satisfactory or objectionable, then the m: ager or stage manager would whistle, and the sccncs would be run together or, es variety people say, close in. Such was, in fact, the ordeal through which nearly all the persons now prominent in the variety profession had to pass. If it was passed stecessfully the newcomer was engaged for the rest of the week. If not, the profes- sicnal career of the newcomer was _ re- garded as at an end. Once in the variety profession, the poptlarity and compen: tion of the performer was dependent not simply.on his or her cleverness, agility, or accompliskments, but also on his or her success in getting an act or specialty which would present the ability of the performer in a favorable light. When the era of burlesque and farce com- edy began, there was no preparatory school of,training, and so the specialty or variety stage was heavily drawn upon, and those who had been seen before that time only in the east side or west side theaters found themselves appearing before admiring crowds in Broadway. For many years the most popular specialty performers have been engaged for the traveling companies, presenting farce comedians and light bur- lesques, and, to a great extent, the ranks of the variety professign have been denud- ed of clever people, except in the line cf equilibrists and gymnasts. The man or woman who could sing, dance or recite with ability has found no difficulty in getting permanent employ- ment and is not obliged to depend upon precarious and uncertain engagement in variety theaters out of New York, with but a few wees of steady work in the me- tropolis. Since the continuous performance theaters have become so popular and s much of an element in the theatrical busi- ness of the country, they have been draw- ing back many of those who left variety theaters to go upon the regular stage, and in the number of those they have attracted are may former negro minstrels and bal- lad singers of the first class; so that the admirers of specialty or variety entertain- ments may now again see the familiar and welcome faces of old favorites, and the farce comedy managers are obliged to look for new material. see ____ Protectorate in Madagascar. It is sem!-officially announced that a rig- orous protectorate will be established by France over the Island of Madagascar, as- suring to France the preponderance of the entire administration. The queen, Rana- valona III, wiil be retained, but the prime minister, her husband, Rainilairivony, will be transported. Mr. Frederick Turner, a merchant of Antananarivo, has just arrived in London, and his views have been sought upon the situation in Madagascar. He says that foreigners in Madagascar will welcome a sound French government, provided they be accorded equal rights under it with Frenchmen. “The country,” he said, “‘must be open to all comers. Naturally, France will try io improve her commercial relations with the island, and it is hoped that she will do so without making the English, American and German trade impossible. America will have to be reckoned with, as the Uniied States government has not recognized the French protectorate, and the Americans cannot afford to lose this important grow- ing market.” a0 ——___ Prince Pak Makes a Call Prince Yanghio Pak, who was formerly prime minister of Corea, and is now an exile from that country on a charge of conspiracy, called upon Acting Secretary McAdoo at the Navy Department yesterday and presented letters of introduction from mutual friends, The prince expects to re- main somo time in Washington, ——_—_————— | MARVEL OF THEAGE ‘Kagene Sandow on Muscle Making and Digestion. Doesn't Believe in Dieting, but Pays Strict Attention to Aesimilation of Food. How He Takes Care of Himself. One look at Eugene Sandow, the modern Hercules, is enough to make the average young man heartily dis- gusted with himself, and to turn his thoughts from cigarettes and frappes to light dumb bells and proper care of the digestion. When Sandow came to Boston, Dr. Sargent, physical adviser of Har- vard University gymnasium, was amazed at his muscular development. He said he-was the most wonderful man he had ever seen. Strong, ac- tive and graceful, he combined all the characteristics of the ideal athlete. His stomach is indulged in every- thing the appetite craves for. He smokes and drinks, but never to ex- cess. This may seem surprising, but Sandow only laughs at the surprise his methods create. “Keep the digestion in order,” is one of Sandow’s precepts. “T use Johann Hoff’s Malt Extract with capital results. It is pleasing to the taste, toning to the system, and helps along the digestion of food. Everyt!iing depends on keep- ing the digestion in proper order.” The Genuine JOHANN HOFF’S MALT EXTRACT is a true builder of flesh and muscles. It creates ap- petite and aids digestion.

Queer Cause Assigned cor the Trouble With the Battleship Texan, Mr. Trigg, president of the Richmond Locomotive works, the builders of the machinery of the Texas, is endeavoring to Pave the vessel ordered into dry dock be- fcre undertaking any further trials. He says that the whole trouble lies in the fact that the openings admitting the sea to the condensers have been nearly closed by a growth of oysters and marine grasses while the ship laid at the dock, and this is the cpinion of the engineer officers at the de- partment. As -these apertures are twenty feet below the water line the ship must be docked to permit the removal of the grat- ings. Meantime her bottom can also be cleaned so that she may make a better showing both in speed and horse power on her trial trip. = —+-o.+—___ American Firemen Prefer to Live. The large number of suicides of firemen and coal passers on German ocean steam- ships, committed in temporary insanity brought on by intense heat or overwork, hes led the German government to examine the subject, and to ask the views of other nations. The commissioner of navigation has just completed an investigation, which shows that during the ast five ye: only three firemen on the American steamships of the International Navigation Company, New York and Cuba Mail, Red D and Spreckle’s Oceanic Lines have committed suicide. The record can probably be equal- ed by no other nation, and is regarded in official circles here as indicating the excel- lert provisions for the health of the engine cer force on American ocean steamships. ——————~-—o.__ American Warships at Hawnif.
