TALKING WITH MOLTKE,
EX-PRESIDENT ANDREW D. WHITE’8
DESCRIPTION OF HIM.
Ha Met Him at a Reception In Herlln on
Clio fterttftlou nr the Golden Wedding of
tlic Old Emperor William—Garun No-
tliomli'* Felicitous Introduction.
By many people ex-President Andrew
D. White, of Cornell university, c*t-min-
ister to Germany, is regarded os one of
the best authorities on German affairs in
t he U ni ted States, years of patient study
and observation give great weight to his
views on the new Germany of today.
Regarding the great German soldier
and strategist the ex-president says:
I lirat saw Von Mollke just after my
arrival at Berlin at the festivals attend
ant upon the golden wedding of the old
Emperor William. The first of these
was a great theatriral representation at
the Koval Opera house, at which the
ernperoriind empress and very nearly all
the crowned heads t r Germany, with
representatives of the various royalties
of Europe. were present, and besides
'hese, attracting even more attention,
Bismarck. Von Mnltke and tile leading
generals of the Franco-Prussian war.
The appearance of these people comes
hack before me very vividly, but no one
is more distinctly present to mo than Von
Mnltke. lie seemed absolutely different
from every other personage in that great
hall He was a tall, spare man, his face
a mixture of determination and kindli
ness. his whole appearance, as more than
one person has said at various times,
being that of an intelligent, kindly col
lege professor or schoolmaster.
There was something singularly gen
tle about his whole bearing, yet ft was
impressive. He sat very quietly, exchang
ing some little conversation witli his next
neighbor, Manteuffel, the dreaded vice
roy or Alsace-Lorraine. The contrast
between-thetwowos very marked—Man-
reuffel. apparently, all keenness and se
verity. Von Moltke firm, but gentle.
INTRODUCED BY DAKON N0TI10MU.
When I next saw him it was at an
evening gathering where there was not u
large number present, and where 1 had
'the opportunity to converse with him. i
was intmd need to him by the dean of tile
diplomatic corps. Baron Nothomb, some
times called "the father of constitution
al liberty in continental Bnrope," a man
of very wide political knowledge and
who more titan once, as 1 sat at the table,
gave me accounts of his conversations
with Talleyrand anil other men of the
first Napoleonic period.
Baron Nothomb in presenting me to
Von Moltke took advantage of a little
sketch published in one of the German
newspapers, and said: "Sir Field Marshal,
i wish to make yon acquainted with n
gentleman who w:i9 born in Homer, who
lives in Syracuse and who has aided in
founding a university at Ithaca.”
,'.t this Von Moltke laughed pleas
antly, mid evidently did not understand
tiie allusion, wheren|ion 1 told him that
hi the earlier days of this country no
imd a way of naming our townships and
villages after noted heroes of nutiquity,
but at present we did better, naming
them after the great men of these times.'
and telling him that no doubt in the
newer states be would find his own
uume and that of Bismarck attached to
some of our younger towns, tie seemed
interested in this and talked on very
pleasantly
I look hack to that evening ns one of
tiie must interesting daring my stay in
Germany.
MOI.TKE IN PARLIAMENT.
At various other times I inet Von
Moltke. but do not recall anything of es-
jiecial interest. No man was more free
from tiie slightest tincture of vunity. As
he walked through the streets and in the
parks, going to and from the office of the
general staff, lie was undistinguishable
save by his tall, scholarly form from the
crowd of military men alsiut him. He
evidently wore just as little in the shape
of orders aud decorations as was permis
sible.
At court he was expected, of cotirso,
to upliear in more splendid attire, but
eveu tlien there was always tiie same
quiet modesty und simplicity, lie seemed
to me in some respects "the noblest li*
iimn of them all."
Unt perhaps bis most impressive ap
pearance was ns a member of the im-
periul parliament. From time to time
::a I happened in to bear the discussions
I saw him in his seat, quiet, imperturba
ble: lint on two occasions I heard him
speak, and on each of these his subject
was the necessity of larger votes of
money and men to maintain the mili
tary supremacy of Germany.
Nothing could be better in their way
than these speeches of his. Re looked
and spoke ns I could imagine Julias
Ouear looked and spoke in the Roman
seuate. Nothing could bo more simple
and yet nothing more effective. He was
iisteued to liy men of all parties with the
ntinost respect
He seemed to stand in a sense aloof
from all purties, and to he guided simply
and solely by what he considered the
best interests of the German empire. On
hearing him speak one could not resist
this conclnsion, and as his manner was
simple, voice good and statements very
clear, direct and strong, but without the
slightest tendency to exaggeration, his
words carried great weight
1 remember hearing him say in sub
stance in one of these speeches that
Germany must be prepared for auy
emergency, and must maintain the very
highest condition of military efficiency
possible for at least fifty years. And 1
remember, too, with what a sort of sol
emnising effect these words, quietly ut
tered, but evidently the resnlt of con
viction baaed on knowledge, had upon
the audience. They seemed to carry a
sense of responsibility to the heart of
every peraou present.—New York Her-

A young clam farmer from Cunarsie.
accompanied by his 250 ponud wife,
created much amusement on a bridge
train coming to Brooklyn Sunday a little
before midnight. The cars were as well
filled as is usual at that hour. Tiie
rustics drew attention to themselves by
the loud tones of their conversation
“Now, baby,” the man was saying, “you
know I ain’t a bit stingy and I wouldn’t

“No: I don’t want it I wish yon

A hurrying crowd was pushing its
wa.v ilowu the bread steps, of the ele
vated platform at the city hall elevated
station Wednesday afternoon. A hand
somely dressed woman, accompanied by
a tall man of the sporting class, moved
leisurely along, trailing a foot and n half
of her skirts behind her. A big, clumsy
boy in his eagerness to reach the street
planted a heavy foot on the trailing
skirt, almost throwing tiie woman over
backward. Naturally she was very an
gry and speedily found some very harsh
words to liestow on the boy. Her male
companion wus angry, too, and at the
foot of the stairs he collared the lad and
raised his cane to administered chastise
ment But the blow did not fall. A
burly workingman canght the arm to
which the cane was attached and half a
dozen determined voices exclaimed
“Don't hit that boyl"
The tall sporting man braced himself
for a fight, when a mild looking yonng
gentleman looked him fixedly in the eye
and said: “See here, my friend, yon bad
better calm down right away. Yon have
got the unpopular end of this dispute.
If yon have ever walked down stain be
hind a woman wholets her skirts drag,

sentiment is ou that subject.” The
sporting man made no reply. He let go
of the boy and walked rapidly away, fol
lowed by a very indignant and talkative
woman.—New York Times.
There is another and equally important
cause of mental depression and physical
disorganization as is that of overeating,
and lock of sufficient exercise. This
the constant application to occupation
which is in vogue in this country. Men
and women alike, since women are for
midable competitors of men in profes
sional pursuits, have a practice of going
on in the same treadmill manner, year
after year, without any lapse for rest
We live in this country at too high a
pressure, in • business sense. Men en
gage of connie in business, more actively
and in greater numbers than women, yet
being brought into so close contact with
the former, women naturally absorb
not only personal interest, bat are often

bound up by Its demands as the men
themselves.
It is not nnnsoal, in fact, for women
to ussnrac and carry ont the management
of the coanting room, office and store as
well os the household. The strain of
these demunds upon the system is nat
urally very great tinder the moot favor

SUn Who Eat- Pie.
A truly charming gentleman Is Mr.
Edmund Russell, apostle and expounder
of the Delsartean faith. We take back
all the uncivil and cruel tilings we have
uttered against old Delsorte and bis
creed, for we have seen Mr. Rnssell eal
pumpkin pie at Rector’s restaurant late
of nights. In the wliote wide range of
philosophy there is none other that np

ing of pumpkin pie.
Mr. Whittier, the Amesbury poet, ft
as famous a punisher of pie as Ralph
Waldo Emerson was, snd that is saying
much, for Emerson was mighty iu the
pursuit, comprehension, mastication,
digestion and assimilation of that cheer

pumpkin, was Emerson's favorite diet,
