THE EMPRESS_VICTORIA. lse Is verywher Greeted With EathuMsiam es Be UympatheUe Mlasfo.. Buinrw, April 9.--Emperor Frederick passed a good night last night. He arose eirly this morning and bade arewell to the Empress previous to her departure for Posen, with Princesses Victoria, Sophie and Margaret, to inquire ars to the condition of the sufferers by the floods. The Empress arrived at Posen this after noon. She stopped at other places besides Landuberg, where she was received by the municipal and other officials, and was every wher greeted with enthusiasm. The Polish leaders have issued a manifesto asking the inhabitants of Posen to sink their nat onal disputes and unite in welcoming the Em press. In reply to the deputation which met her at thi station in Posen Empress Victoria said that the Emperor, regretting his Inability to come himself, had sent her to examine as to the condition of affairs and to report to him. The pessons who have been prominent in helping the sufferers by the floods were presented to the Empress, who thanked them for their efforts to alleviate the distress among the people. The Governor of Posen met the Empress at Kreuz. Burgomaster Mueller received the Empress at the Posen station and pre sented to her the leading officials of the dep utation and the relief committee, composed of officers of the Second Hussars. Arch bishop Dinder and a number of Protestant and Catholic clergy were also present. The road from the station to the town was lined with trade guilds, carrying flags and em blems, the Landwekr associations and school children. The Empress drove slowly and was incessantly cheered by the people. She first visited the asylum, a large school house where the homeless are temporarily lodged, and thence went to the Governor s house, where she took lunch. Addressing Councillor Jacobs, the lEmpress said: "I commission you to express to all taking a helpful part in the present danger the thanks of the Empror and myself. The calamity that has befallen you arouses our deepest sympathy and we hope to alleviate the suffering as far as human help can 'llieviate them." Speaking of Klitsing, the Empress said: "The old steadfastness of the people of the Mark has once more been tried and proved. The Emperor is especially thankful for their conduct." It is stated today that Prince Bismarck has abandoned his opposition to the mar miage of Pripee Alexander, of Battenberg, and tlb Princess Victoria, having gained - cettrain other concessions, and that all the differences between the Emperor and Prince Bismark are now settled. The Emperor today conferred decorations on Drs. Howell and Mackenzie. Prince Bismarck and Herr von Bennigsen, leader of the National Liberals, had a con ference today which lasted two hours. THE EMPRESS WINS. After a Long Conference with DHImerek She Retirea Smiling. BERLIN, April 11.-In regard to the crisis there is only one important event. The Empress had a two hours' conference with Bismarck toilay. The high spirits displayed by the Empress after her return from the interview were hardly compatible with a rumor that the projected marriage is to be deferred to some remote future time. The whole affair is mysterious, and one is tempted to believe that some great surprise is peniing. The rumor is still circulated that Bismarck intends to resign. While the name of Count Munster, Ger man Ambassador at Paris, is mentioned as his successor, it is stated that the Ei.peror's choice is Baron Von Rogrenbach, a long and intimate friend of the Emperor. The Baron Is 68 years of age. There nowv seems no longer any doubt that the betrothal incident was only a pre text employed by Bismarck to bring mat is somewhat better a gain and took an hour's drive today, had a long conference with Bismarck. Roggenbachi is said to have attempted to arrange ruatters between the Empress and the Chancellor. The Post, the National Zeitung andl other pa prs publish t.his evening, probably on a hint from the Government, articles advis ing people to give up sending addresses to Prince Bismarck.-Special to the Philadel phia Times. 81,000 REWARD FOR A BABY. Siolen from the Stdewaik in, Front of a Store in New York. NEw YoRK April 10,-Seigel & Co. run a dry goods store at Seventy-seventh street and Third avenue. Yesterday afternoon a stylishly dressed woman left her fifteen months' old baby in its carriage on the sidewalk for a few minutes while she went into the store to make a purchase. When she returned to the sidewalk, baby and car riage had disappeared. Detectives were at once engaged, and the following adivertise ment appeared in the mornimi papers: "One thousand dollars rewardi and no questions asked for return of baby stolen from in front of Siegel's dry goods store April 9.

"Well, they are people of wealth. They have put the matter in the hands of pri vate detectives and have authorized us to offer $1,000 reward. The detectives, how ever, have advised that all names be sup pressed for the time."

The Festve Knight of the Grip.1 Do you know that there are about 80,000Ocommercial travelers in the United States? Burprised to hear it? Yes, moat people are when they are told of it, but it's a fact, nevertheless. You may also be surprised to learn that every one of them spends on an avers e 8.3,000 a year, or a total of $240, 000, 0. If you add to this their salaries, averaging at least $1,000, you have a total expendi ture by commercial travelers of $320, (000,000 a year. This is naturally spent in all parts of the country, but the hotels and railroads get the lion's share of it. During the last ten years there has been a great change in the character of the commercial traveler. The old Bohemian type has almost entirely disappeared from the road, and drinking men are snuch more rarely met with there than formerly.-Jewelers' Weekly. "I IGAVE UP' TO DIE."

(From the Gridley, Cal., Herald.) Dr. Harris, of this city is the owner of a dog whose remarkable Intel*genoe is worth recording in the historical an nals of marvels peculiar to this age. "Don" is a thorough-bred bird-dog, spaniel and pointer combined, and al ways at his master's heels when that gen tleman is at home. About six weeks ago the doctor was called to Biskiyou county and did not return until last 13aturday. "Don" was compelled to stay at home, and stuck very olose to the house. When parties would call and inquire for the physician the dog would invariably in terrupt the conversation, and, taking hold of the caller's coat or dress, en deavor to lead them to the depot, at the same time barking vigorously. He would also be at the depot regularly every morning when the train arrived from the north, apparently looking for his master. The last week of the gen tleman's absence "Don" was at the depot upon the arrival of every train from the north, hence when the doctor got off he was met by a gelftleman who seemed too much astonished to speak. "How in the world did you know that I wanted you? Did you come purposely to see me?" he said as he greeted the physi cian. "Yes," replied Harris; "but I shouldn't have come here if the dog hadn't almost forced me to." Harris then ascertained that the gentleman had been at his house the previous night and left word for him to call as soon as he arrived home. In as much as Dr. Har ris had not seen any person and acted as he only to please the dog, the logical conclusion is that "Don" heard and un derstood the conversation the previous night and did that which his dog sense dictated. That the canine has pretty near as much sense as a great many human beings is further evidenced by the fact that he will, at his master s command, traverse the town in search little Joe Harris (aged 7 years) and com pel him to come home. "r'llEt DYITNG OIIAMNPIoN." The Augusta Chronicle is impelled to re mark thus upon the (lying condition of Roscoe Conkling and the failing strength of James U. Ilalne: "The illness of Roscoc Conkling in New York recalls t lie fact that another conspi cuous figure in national politics is fast fail ing, and that before the year is closed James 0. Blaine will be no more. Latest advices from Europe, through medical sources, leave no doubt that the Maine statesman is dying from diabetes, lie has lost flesh heavily of late, and looks old and infirm. It is said that Mr. Blaine is im pressed with the belief that he is going to (lie, and his friends admit that he has failed very rapidly this winter. In the past twenty years no men have had greater part in moulding public affairs. Each was elected to Congress during the war, and both made distinguished records in the up per and lower houses of Co,gress. Conk ling was haughty and imperious, but learned, logical and cogent. Blame has been ii Table, popular, elouient and mag netic. Naturally, they have been rivals and are now enemies, Blaine contriving always to humiliate and nettle Conkling, while the great New Yorker has twice managed to block his rival's nomination to the Presidency in his party, and, when vic tory was almost within his grasp, threw New York State to Cleveland by the solid vote of Oneida. "'Both are now out of piolities. Blaine forced Conkling from the Senate, and Conkling knifed B3laine in the last national race. Neither wifll ever resume his pla1ce in the councils of the party--where each has fought with giant-like abilities. It may be said of Blaine that no party ever worshlipp)ed a man so closely or 'onttinu-l ously since the days of IIenry Clay. It muay be said of Conukling that no b)reath (of dis honesty ever attaintedl his name or clogged1 his career. A statesman withi Islaine's tem peramnen t and Conl ing's character might revive cveni tihe drooping decstinies of the Republican party, which seems now~ about to lose the abilities of both and to be near its own hIour- of dlissolutionu.

The Occupaeta or a Bad Bebavlag House, for Uoafort's Bake, Leave, The house recently occupied by P. L. Wise is now vacant. On the night follow ing the shock mentioned in last week's Press and Reporter, while Mr. Baird and his wife were at supper, a conslderable noise was heard in the direction of Mr. Wise's house. He wanted to go fnd see what was the matter, but his wife was too much frightened to allow him to absent himself from home. On the Sabbath evening following, while Mrs. P. L. Wise and Mrs. Abram Long a neighbor who was paying a visit-were getting supper, all at once, without warn lug, something began popping around over the floor. A sound such as is made by fire crackers was heard, and a scent like burnt powder or sulphur was noticed. At the same time the house shook. The family became so frightened that they all left the house and went over to Mrs. Long's to spend the night. Mr. Wise and his wife returned home Monday morning, and the occurrence of Sunday was repeated while they were there. Mr. Wise immediately went to work and moved out. At sun down, we understand, is the favorate time the house selects to commence its shaking. This information is obtained from Messrs. Wise, Baird and others of the immediate neighborhood. They do not understand why the house acts as it does. It certainly has caused Mr. Wise a great deal of incon. venience and trnuble.-Prospetity Press and Reporter. A FOOTMAN'S GOOD LUCK. He Fall" heir to a Fortune of Thirty Thou.-. and Dollar.. Sydney 11. Phipps, a young Englishman 20 years of age, employed as footman by Lawyer G. 'T. Bisphanm at 1805 De Lancey Place, has received word that he has fallen heir to a fortune of $30,000. lie received a letter last Saturday from his mother, who lives in Liverpool, England, notifying him of the death of his grandfathor, M. A. Chriaman, a money broker at Cheltingham, who had made him joint heir with her. Young Phipps has been in this country since May, 1885, and has been employed by Dr. Stewart, of Broad street, and others, and latterly with Lawyer Bispham. When he received the letter Saturday lie was a very much surprised young man, and could hardly believe his eyes as he read the let ter over ani over again. Plipps is the son of Alexander Phipps, one of the best known local Liverpool mu sicians and a professor of music in the Uni versity of Liverpool. The family is an eminently respectable one, of what is known in England as the middle class. Young Sydney came to this country in 1885 on a visit with his mother and some friends. Shortly after their arrival in this country Mrs. Phipps received word that her father was dying and she at once returned to England. Sydney, however, decided to stay here and see what the country was like, as his father had an idea of setting him up in business here if he liked the country. ills father's idea was for him to become a farmer, but Sydney had an alto gether different notion for his own welfare and went to Chicago. IIe stayed there a few weeks, but the lake city did not suit him and be caine to Philadelphia, where he secure(l employment as attendant in the home of )r. Stewart, of Broad street, and later with Lawyer Bisphamn. Phipps's intention is to go to England when he receives word that it is necessary for him to appear at the Cleltingham Court of Chancery, but he says he has made up his mind not to stay there, but as soon as he gets the money to return to this country, which he likes.-Philadelphia Times, 9th.

Judge Ilarlan, who read the decision of the court, held that it was not necessary to inquire whether the act was wise or other wise. ''hat is a matter for the people who elect legislatures to determine. Whatever may be thought of the wisdom or propriety of the legislation in dispute, there can be no question about the right of the State Legislature to enact it and the decision of the court is in line with many others up holding the power of the State to regulate its own affairs.--Philadelphia Times, 10th.

It is while examining a collection i s Japanese, Chinese and Corean porcelain, ' pottery and faience that one realizes the fact that no hard work illuminated by taste or genius perishes from the world. The original designers of a certain form of porcelain may be forgotten these thousand years, and so may the men whe discovered this color and that, and thoe who found out the secret of under glaze and over; the way to heat jest so much at one stage of the painting and just so little at ar other; the inventor of a har monious blending of all that his prede cessors had discovered. But all their work told, and here is time result-a bitol -. porcelain that when examined at leisure and in the sympathetic frame of mind it found to rank itself with great poetry, great music, great sculpture.-New York Cor.

A Canadian writer draws attention to the fact that many horses are subjected to much pain by the bits being put into their mouths on very cold mornings with out precaution being taken to free them from frost. lie makes the following re- I marks on the subject., which are certainly worthy of consi<deration: '"'The bits should be carried into the house and thawed out by the kitchen stove, or dipped into a pail of water. If you want a lesson you will not soon forget in regard to this matter, put your tongue against a bit that has been exposed all night, to a zero temperature. It will stick fast, and you will not get it free without leaving some of the skin behind.''

Here is a new danger. John Clayton, of San Francisco, sometime ago com. menced taking phosphorus for a nerve tonic. He found that the drug braced up his system at first, but a little later it begs'u to impair him. Last week he was admitted to a hospital in a pitiable con dition. His teeth had dropped out and his lower jaw was crumbling away. His physicians are giving him stimulants, btthe constantly bogs for a few pills of phosphorus. The case is a new one in the medical profession, and the phos phorus habit will have to take its place along with the cocaine habit. It may be that fractional paper cur rency will again be in circulation in the United States. The House of Rlepresen tatives has passed a bill providing that the Secretary of the Treasuryr issuo frac tional silver certificates of 10, 15 and 25 cents, on receipt of $10 and upward in standard silver dollars. Th le friends of the measure urged that this currency would not supplant, but would supple ment, the fractional coin now in exist ence, and that it would furnish to the people living in the country and in small towns a convenient and necessary cur rency for the transaction of the large retail trade which is transacted through the mails, and which is rapidly increas ing. ha BHOWLESCASES 1*W'9-CASE ; A .
