WEDDING OF SECOND SON OF KAISER ARRANGED FOR 33 Prince Eltel Frederick and the Duchess Sophie Charlotte, whose en­ gagement is just announced, are dis­ tinguished scions of reigning families. The first named is the second son of the German Emperor and King of Prussia. His full name is William El­ tel Frederick Christian Charles, and he waft born in the Marmor palace, near Potsdam, on July 7, 1883. He is a lieutenant in the guards and in a landwehr and other regiments. Prince Eltel wears the decoration of the Or­ der of the Annunciation, and he is a chevalier of the Order of the Black Eagle. He is one of the popular princes of Germany, and is held in high esteem by all classes. The bride to be is the oldest daughter, of the reigning grand duke of Oldenburg, Frederich jSugust. She was born at Oldenburg on the 2d _of February, 1879. Her mother, Prin­ cess Elizabeth of Prussia, died in 1895, #.nd the following year her father mar- tied Princess Elizabeth of Mecklin- furg-Schwerin. The young duchess is itescribed as being pretty, bright and amiable, and as being a great favorite • In grand ducal circles. The house nirom which she is descended has given RUSSIAN NAVY OF LITTLE USE. Country Could Use Money in More Profitable Way. A distinguished Englishman made a remark some days ago that the states­ men of Russia might seriously consid­ er. It was that Poland is likely to give her masters serious trouble, and he intimated that Germany was a par­ ty in interest. The socialists of the German empire are a formidable po­ litical party who give the government great concern. Poland has their sym­ pathy in her longing for liberty and socialistic ideas have taken strong hold on Poland, in which there are Immense communities of artisans. Russia will require all the money it |s proposed to putt in a navy to pay • the expense of reform in Poland, in fMnland and at the south. It would take ages for Russia to create a navy that England or Japan would not sink during the first six months of war-- If it ventured to sea. A sailor is not made in a generation or two genera­ tions. Nelson and Decatur were sprung from ancestors who sailed the seas before the time of Alfred the Great. The race that produced Togo were barbarian fishermen before the time of Barbarossa. -- Washington Post. Record-Breaking Business Year. The year 1905 stands out as a rec­ ord breaker--"a year of superlatives ih the business world," as Dun puts It. Prices of the sixty most active railway securities have reached the highest point on record; the output of pig iron in the first half of 1905 not only far surpassed any preceding six months' production, but exceeded every full year prior to 1898; prices of hides are at the highest position since the civil war; wool quotations have not been as strong since the early 'SOs; shipments of footwear from Boston are close to the maxi­ mum, and including all shoe centers tjhe movement this year is beyond precedent. Foreign commerce in July surpassed the corresponding month fti any previous year.--St. Louis Post- Dispatch. PJUNCE EITEL ffilEDRft sovereigns to Denmark, Scandinavia, and Russia, and is said to be de­ scended from Wittikind, the celebrated leader of the heathen Saxons against Charlemagne. Five years ago Duchess Sophie, whose mother was the elder sister of the present Duchess of Con- naught, was reported engaged to the Grand Duke of Saxe-.Welmar, but for some unknown reason the match was broken off. THE MANUFACTURE OF PAPER. Different Materials Called For In the Various Grades. William R. Stewart, in his article on "Papef and Its Manufacture," in the Technical World Magazine, de­ scribes the process briefly as follows: "In its broad outline the process of paper-making may be described a3 collecting the raw material (pulp), whether made from wood, rags, or other substances, diluting with water, forming a sheet on a porous surface, so that the water may drain off, and drying the sheet of paper thus formed. Different materials are used for the pulp being now used in the manufac­ ture of nearly all the fifte paper, straw and manila in making wrapping pa­ pers, etc. But a large amount of pa­ per is given its dj^tinctive character after it leaves the paper mill by sur­ face coatings with various substances. Grandson of Robert Burns. Robert Burns Thompson, a grandson of the great Scottish poet, is a hale and hearty octogenarian, living in a suburb of Glasgow. His mother was a daughter of Robert Burns by Anne Hyslop of the Globe tavern in Dum­ fries. In the days of his young man­ hood Thompson' was the counterfeit presentment of him whose name he bears. Also he has the same pithy humor, which was a. distinguishing characteristic of his noted grand sire, combined with a taste for poetry and music and a characteristic sense of manly independence.

Last spring her neighbors sprayed their peach trees as usual, but while they sprayed, Mrs. Cade prayed. Godly people in the neigh­ borhood--at least those who do not own peach orchards---are greatly en­ couraged by the fact that the prayers seem to have been more effective than the sprayers, for Mrs. Cade raised a fine crop of peaches, while those of her neighbors were almost complete failures.--Chicago Chronicle.

Safe Burglars Get 9IS. Burglars broke into Asa Tpdd's hardware store at Belle City iand robbed the safe of $35. They Jifure not been apprehended. Gray dawn was breaking at the Pine Ridge agency when an Indian runner broke headlong into the village of the surrendered Sioux. He stopped at tho tepees of the principal warriors long enough to shoyt a message, and then leaving the camp where its end rested against an abrupt hill, he made his way with a plainsman's stealth to the group of agency buildings, circling 'Which had extending beyond crowning ridge after ridge were the white Sib­ ley ten^s cf the soldiers. -- Breakfast was forgotten in the troubled camp of the Sioux. The chiefs and the greater braves rushed to quick council, and the lesser war­ riors, the squaws and the children stood waiting with dogged patience in the village streets. The council was over. An old chief shouted a word of command that was caught up and passed quickly to the farthest outlying tepee. An army might have learned a lesson from that which followed the short, sharp order. Mounted men shot out from the vil­ lage, and as fast as fleet-footed ponies, pressed to their utmost, could accom­ plish the distances every outlying ridge was topped with the figure of rider and horse, silhouetted against the morning sky. Every sentinel warrior ha'd his eyes on the camps of the white soldiery. Suddenly from the east of the agency, where lay the Sixth Cavalry, there came a trumpet call that swelled and ended In one ringing note that -sang in and out the valleys. .The motionless figure of one of the hill-top sentinels was moved to Instant life. A signal ran from ridge to ridge, finally to be passed downward Into the camp of the waiting Sioux who sprang into action at its coming. The pony herds of the Sioux were grazing on the hills to. the west, unrestrained of their freedom by lariat or herds­ man. In number they nearly equaled the people of the village, a few ponies for .emergency use only having been kept within the camp. Upon these jumped a score of warriors, who broke out of the shelter of the tepees for the hills where the herds were forag­ ing on the snow-covered bunch grass. It seemed but a passing moment be­ fore every pony in that great grazing herd was headed for the village. The animals were as obidient to the word of command as is a brave to .the word of his chief. During the gathering of the herds the women of the camp had shing their papooses to their backs, ha'd col-* lected the camp utensils and were standing ready to strike the tepees, while the braves, blanketed, and with rifles in their hands, had thrown them­ selves between the village and the camps of the soldiers of Gen. Miles. The Sioux who had surrendered less than a week before were preparing to stampede from the agency and to 8enator Clark's Troublesome Pipe This story is told about ex-Senator J. S. Clark of Calais, Me.: One day, while awaiting his turn in a barber shop in Calais, he was talking with a friend, and was so deeply interested in the conversation that he allowed his pipe to go out several times. Each time he would ask Melvin Noble, a local practical joker, for a match. About the time he wanted the fifth match Noble said: "I don't begrudge you the matches, Jed. but I think it would be cheaper for you to put a grate In your pipe and burn coal." Great Singers "Found," • Some of the world's greatest singers have been discovered accidentally. Once upon a time Wachtel, the great­ est tenor of his day in Germany, was cracking his whip and hailing fares In a musical rondo. Mme. Scalchi, the greatest of contraltos, is said to have called her wares in the street before she was found for the opera stage. Campanini, the king of tenors, was a blacksmith, but was heard singing lik"e an angel and was enabled to ^esert the forge for the footlights. make necessary the repeating of a campaign that had lasted for months. The Indian runner had brought word that Great Chief Miles had ordered his soldiers to arms in the early morning, and that the surrendered Sioux were to be massacred to the last man, wom­ an and child. . The medicine men had told the In­ dians that this was to be their fate, and the runner's word; found ready be­ lief. Gen. Miles had planned a review of the forces in the field as a last act of the campaign, and it was the order for the gathering and the marching that had been taken as an order of massa­ cre by the fearful, suspicious Sioux. Trumpet and bugle calls of "boots and saddles" and "assembly" burden­ ed the air. The troopers and "dough­ boys" had fallen in, 5,000 strong. The column started west with flags and guidons fluttering. The head of the command, the greatest that had been gathered together since the days of the civil war, reached the bluff above the Sioux village. A . shout would have started the stampede of the sav­ ages; a shot would have been the sig­ nal for a volley from the warriors lying between the white column and the village. What a review was that on the snow-covered South Dakota plains that January morning fifteen years ago! Gen. Miles on his great black horse watched the 5,000 soldiers pass, soldiers that had stood the burden of battle and the hardships of a winter's campaign, and had checked one of the greatest Indian uprisings of history. The First Infantry led by Col. Shaf- I ter, who afterward was in command j in front of Santiago, was there that I day. Guy V. Henry, now lying In peaceful Arlington cemetery, rode at the head cf his black troopers, the "buffalo soldiers" of the Sioux. Capt. Allen W. Capron was there with the battery that afterward opened the bat­ tle at Santiago. The Seventh cavalry was there, two of its troops, B and K, having barely enough men left in the ranks to form a platoon. These two trocps had borne the brunt of the fighting at Wounded Knee, when ninety men cf the Seventh fell killed or wounded before the bul­ lets of the Sioux. When. the two troops with their attenuated ranks rode by the reviewing general remov­ ed his cap, an honor otherwise paid only to the colors .of his country. The column filed past, broke into regiments, then into troops and com­ panies, and the word of dismissal was given. The Indian sentinels on the ridges signaled to the camp in the val­ ley. Inn another minute .there was a stampede, but it was only that of the thousands of Sioux ponies turned loose and eager to get back to their breakfast of bunch grass on the prairies.--Chicago Post. Tennyson's Honeymoon. Tennyson waited for his bride ten years. When the wedding day came the dresses arrived toq late. The cake arrived late also.
