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- ald. ■ ■■ ' Unfortunate. •The effect of Rev.

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 care for the money at all. but I don’t want any catfish of a toll grabber to do the dead swindle ou me—Sunday nights anyway.’ “Oh, never mind Reulien.’ said •baby” consolingly. “Well, now, baby, you can see foi yourself.

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, yon onght to understand what the public 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.
