Moxien, June 13.—Ludwig's deposition has thrown a gloom over the Bavarian me- tropolis. Business 1s partially suspended and many evidences are vresenting of the deep attachment of the people for the unfor- tunate king. ‘The ministerial deputation to secure the release of Count Holstein had the utmost difliculty in gaining access to the castle, which was surrounded by armed guards in great numbers. The mountain peasantry were also much excited and threat- ened to kill the deputation, but after an ex- planation of their harmless mission they were permitted to enter. They replaced the King's servants, placed & strong military cor- don around the castle and loft two physicians to guard the king, who will ba removed to Berg castle. The Catholic clergy appreciate the “gain fo them in Ludwig's deposition. They will undoubtedly exert more influence over Luitpold. The poe has sent congratu- lations and ordered the nunico at Munich court to establish more cordial relations be- tween the regency and the vatican, At Ber- lin the deposition is regarded with supreme indifference. King Ludwig to-day took his departure for Berg Castle, on Lake Starnberg, The scenes along the route of "the journcy were very affecting. - Peasants knelt in roadways weep- ing.

DEs MoiNgs, [, June 13.—[Special to the Bir.]—Since the proliibitory law was passed the various temperancesorganizations in the state, particularly the Women's Christian Temperance union, have been in somewhat of a study toknow how to turn_their talents tolaccount. Like Ottello they find their oc- cupation is gone for if prohibition prohibits there is no need of further tenperanee work, and a temperance society would be the last thing in the world to_admit that it didn't So with much useful talent and a well organ- ized foree at command, it seems a pity that their energies should not still be directed in some useful channel. The ladies of the W. %, T. U., of this city, have solved the problem in a novel and commendable way. They have turned their activities in the direction of an Orphana’ home, which shall provide a refuge for friendless children—babies especially, and keep them till homes ean be found for “them ;\'lu'_n they will be received as wmewmbers of the amily. \'mnrmrrmlpmnlent hunted np the place and learned about its methods and objects, and found it was an_enterprise that could well be commended to the yarious temper- ance unions of the county. Out on Twelfth t, where the air is pure and bracing, far ‘trom the noise and dirt of the business , there is a modest little *Home,"” which is now dedicated to the blessed babies. A benevolent looking matron met tha BER rc‘\ruwnmllm and told him about the work being done, which is only as vet in its in- fancy, The Home was opened on the first of this month, and sois just bezinning its career. The ladies who have established this IHome for the friendless hope to have it filla field not yet occupied. There is the State Orphan’s Home at Davenport, but that takes children of several years of age. Then three foundling asylums for the little innocents of guilty parents. One of the latter is located ip this city i conneetion with the Benedict ome for Fallen Women. 'This has between twenty and thirty little babies on hand now, little chappies that may know their mothe: but will never get a sight of their fathers But this new home for_the friendless is for the regular, orthodox, all correct little babies, who have 1o parents, or have crucl, unkind or impecunious parents, unable or unwilling to care for them and bring them up in the way they should go. ‘There are a great many of that sort that ought to_be saved from the cruel fate of the poor house, and the zood women who have been fightin the saloons for 50 many years have concluded to cone np to the help ot the babies, particularly as the saloons don’t need much more attention. Of the babies at this new home the oldest is but two years old, and the ?'nunuht is about four weeks, The oldest bears thy title of Garfield wd he is red headed, full and looks as if he had already made up his mind to be president, One little chap, threo months old 'is called Charley Basket—a namo that suzgests the conveyance in which the young man took his first ride to the front steps of the hospital. He has marked Hebry s, and a Hurso remarked that she believed if he were given a bunch of laces and ribbons and placed in the front yard he would do a good ~business and make the proper change without any assistance already. 5 f; “After the instifution gets fairly to work, it is proposed to haye in connection with it a place where working women can leave their babies during the day while they are at work, and then take them home at night, after the stylo of similar institutions in Paris. ‘Thero aro many women who coula work out by the day or week, if they were not kept at liame to caro for young children, 'T'his homd, Will, take care of thelr babies for a slight {66, and leave them free to work.

The Rate Wa CRICAGO, June 12.—[Special Telegram to the Brk.]—The war between the Rock Island aml Milwaukee & St. Paul roads on passen- ger rtes west and northwest goes bravely on and indications now are that before the end of next week the fare between Chieago and St Paul and Chicago and Omaha will be $1, or less. The Rock Island’s cut of yesterday to competitive points in Towa and Minnesota is niore serious than it appears on its face. It makes rates to all these points at $4.25, and how great this reduction 1s is shown by the fact that the regular rates to some of these polits were as high as $15. The new rates by the Rock Island’s Albert Lea route, $4.25, from St. Paul and Minneapolis to Chicago, were put in effect this morning, To check- mate this action on th t of the Rock Is- land the Milwaukee & St. Paul has decided to malke a rate of $4.25 from Omaha to Chicago. “This opens up the war both on the east and west bound business between Chicago and St. Paul and between Chieago and Omaha, and will compel all roads between those points to take a hand in the conflict. The affairs of the Chicago, St. Louis and Missiouri river pas- senger association have now assumed such an aspect that it will be safe to predict an ex- tension of the business to and from all Mi souri river points, including Kansas Ci The statement heretofore published that the Hannibal & St. Joe, Burlington and Chicago & Alton had decided to withdraw from the association, aftera lapse of thirty days, is now fully contirmed. Arbitrator Wilson informed the various roads in the association that he has received official notiication from the managers of both these companies of the with- drawal. ‘This, it is confidently expeeted, will disrupt the association Freight Rate War Imminent, Cmicaco, June To-morrow the west- ern freight pool between leading roads will have reached its end and the prospects of a lively freight war following close upon the heels of a general cut in passenger rates to St. Paul and converging points were nover beiter. -~ The Northwestern road formally notitied Commissioner Late on Saturday afternoon that from and after to-morrow it Jjould no longer act undet the azreement.

He Killed Thirty Men Because of His Devotion to Law and Order. A crowd following a rather good-look- ing wan around, stopping when ho stopped, listening as to an oracle when he had anything to say,and all the time gap- ing at him in open-mouthed wonder, pro- ciaimed the fact that an important per- senage was in town, writes a Silverton, Col., correspondent of the New York Sun. “Who is t sked. Sheh-h!” replied a companion; “that's Doc Holliduy.
