pER ASSERTS HE IS I INSTRUMENT OE GOD ■.• man Ruler Pledges Himself to ■ laintain Military Standards. HCH CAUSES SHARP CRITICISM ■ of Protest Throughout Empire When ■ Kaiser Said He Rules by God’s § Free Grace. Kdenigsburg, Germany.—Proclaim ing I himself an Instrument of the Lorf, Kaiser Wilhelm pledged himself to maintain German’s military stand ing at a high level. The sentiments «’re expressed in a toast to East Prussia, given at a banquet here. The kaiser said: “We are ready to keep our armor without a flaw, seeing that our neigh boring powers have made enormous progress. Looking upon myself as an -instrument of the Lord, regardless of the views and opinions of the hour, l will go my way, which is devoted solely to the well-being and peaceful development of the fatherland.’’ Berlin, Germany.—The speech de livered by Emperor William of Ger many before the provincial banquet at Koenjgsburg, in which he reiter ated and emphasized his belief in the divine mandate by which he rules, re ferred to the Prussian crown as be stowed by God’s grace and not by Parliament’s or people's . assemblies laid a lance against the present movement for women suffrage, is the political sensation of the hour. The leading organs of the German press devote extended comment to it, generally criticising the emperor's ut terances, and there are indications that the discourse will have a deep political effect on the country, nearly all the Berlin papers discussing the in connection with the politi- Ical crisis of November, 1908, when the publication by the London Daily Tele graph of an interview' with the em- B&rqr aroused a storm against the luncontrolied public speaking of the emperor. Criticising the suffragette move ment the kaiser reminded the house wives of his empire it was his belief they should rule the world from the fireside and the cradle, and, inciden tally'. added that women should fur nish the inspiration for heroic mili tarism. | German women, said the emperor, should learn from Louise of Russia •hat their duty does not lie in par -11 eipating in public meetings and so cieties nor in attaining supposed Hmhts^^Ktlje exercise of which they to '1" the sa tilings as lie ! . oik at home ami j, '• ~ •' Ihe I lines in an with the speech or says: is not likely to regard it that the two tigures Hi cue rea< lied fan llest in ||gM|lßi world ot their day should . \ I in language so similar and force on the old cations which men w r ere seeking to escape.

Dreaded Cotton Pest Appears in Franklin, Coun ty, Alabama. Russellville, Ala.—The boll weevil has appeared in Franklin county, in the northwestern part of the state. Cotton squares yvere punctured and dropped off. Specimens of the pest will be sent to the state agricultural department, althougn Texans residing in Franklin county are positive the bug is the genuine boll weevil. The appearance of the pest in Ala bama bears out the recent prediction of a government expert that it would invade this state this fall. Montgomery, Ala.—A report of boll weevil in Franklin county, sent out from Birmingham, is not credited by Commissioner of Agriculture J. A.Wil kinson. In the march of the pest eastward it would not ordinarily get so high up as that for two years or more. Just now it is near the lower £or ner of the state, If not inside, but Franklin county is almost on the Tennessee line. It is thought that the specimens are corn or pea wee ville, which at times do some damage to cotton. However, there is a bare possibility that real bugs may have been transported to the reported trou ble zone in cotton seed or some veg etation. PELLAGRA IN AUSTRIA. Heroic Measures to Stamp Out Disease. Washington. Heroic measures have been taken in Austria to stamp out pellagra, which lias a run there similar to that in the Southern states of this country. Commercial Agent Henry Studnichka of Vienna has sent a statement to the Department of Commerce and Labor as follows: “In order to stop the popular use of infected corn meal, which is held re sponsible for the disease, the Austrian government has constructed in south ern Tyrol six modern steam rye bak eries, which are under the direct su pervision of the governor of the province, assisted by a number of subordinate officers. The city gov ernments of this section also rigidly supervise and inspect all private bak eries. A HUMAN OSTRICH. Hatpins, Keys and Pistols Found in Man’s Stomach. Cairo, 111. —Before Frank W. Wilson, an advertising solicitor of St. Louis, died here i» a hospital, he told the physicians fie had swallowed several articles of foreign nature and that they had better put tiie X-ray at work. Three incisions were made in the man’s and according to the physicians the following articles were removed: Qne shoe button hook, la dies’ hatpin, three keys, one lead pen cil, one belt buckle, one tin toy pis tol, three nails (small), one needle and one thermometer. Wilson, according to his physician, had been in a depressed mental state for some time, during which he swal lowed anything he could get down his throat. He had been in the hospital tor a month. Cholera in Russia. St. Petersburg.—A slight improve ment in cholera conditions in south ern Russia is shown by the latest re ports to the government sanitary bu reau and to the Red Cross. This is taken as a sign that the epidemic is now on the wane. Reports to the sanitary bureau for the week of Au gust 14 to 20, inclusive, give 16,106 new cases and 7,743 deaths as com pared with 23,944 cases and 10,723 deaths for the previous week, making a grand total of 121,091 cases, and 85,030 deaths for this year’s epidemic.

In addition to the ob jection of cost, the army officers re garded the proposition as certain to prove futile. Choked to Death by Collar. White Plains, N.

My body and face were covered with sores. One day it would seem to be better, and then break out again with the most terrible pain and itching. I have been sick several times, but never in my life did I experience such aw’ful suffering as with this eczema. I had made up my mind that death was near at hand, and I longed for that time when I would be at rest. I had tried many different doctors and medi cines without success, and my mother brought me the Cuticura Remedies, In sisting that I try them.

To impress on young children just what should and what should not be d«ne and why, is among the most try ing problems of parents, as evidenced by the recent experience of a West Philadelphia mother. Last Sunday she asked her small son, aged eight, to carry a chair for her from the dining room to the parlor. He started off willingly, but in the hall he tripped and fell. Amid the crash could be heard the boy giving vent to utter ances that would have done credit to a pirate of ancient days. The mother w‘as taken by surprise and was greatly shocked. She gave the boy a long and serious talk on the subject of pro fanity. This apparently did not make the right impression, for when she concluded the boy adder to her dis comfiture by exclaiming, “I am sorry I swore, mamma, but I forgot it was Sunday.” All the Difference. The professor was delivering an elo quent address on cruelty to animals, and to illustrate how a little judicious forethought would eliminate to a great extent the sufferings that even small insects are subject to, said: “As I was coining through the hall tonight I saw a bald-headed gentleman very, harshly treat a little innocent house-fly which had alighted on his bead. "Now, if there was any justification for such bad temper, 1 would be quite justified in indulging in it at the pres ent moment, for a fly has just alighted on the back of my head. I can’t see it, but I can feel it. “Possibly some of you can see It now; It is on the top of my head.

Midshipman Smith, who was strick en with typhoid fever on the Indiana at Plymouth, England, contracted the disease, it is said, from smoking a briar used nearly a year ago by his roommate at Annapolis who had a bad case of typhoid. This theory is taken as proof that concentrated nicotine cannot destroy a typhoid germ. The medical department of the navy will examine into the theory with the re sult that midshipmen of the future may confine themselves to their own pipes. A W l6© Old Owl.

Senator Smoot of Utah tells a story on the late E. H. Harrlman, which sounds somewhat familiar. He says that when the Salt Lake cut-off was completed Mr. Harriman took a large party of big railroad men out to it. They had their pictures taken at the right spot scenically. Mr. Harri man stood at one end of the group. When the pictures were printed and the photographer brought them around the railroad men examined them. “Why," shouted one of the guests, “where’s Mr. Harriman?” “Do you mean that little chap that stood at the end?” asked the photog rapher. “Why, I cut him off.” Points of View.
