THE1MPRESS VICTORIA. she to Everywsere Greeted Wih Enthusia. cserSympathetse Mien. BMn., April 9.-Emperor Frederick passed a good night last night. He arose early this morning and bade farewell to the Empress previous to her departure for Posen, with Princesses Victoria, Sophie and Margaret, to inquire as 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 municipalandother officials, and was every where greeted withenthusiasm. ThePolish leaders have issued a manifesto asking the inhabitants of Posen to sink their national disputesand unite in welcoming the Em press. In reply to the deputation which met her at the station in Posen Empress Victoria said that the Emperor, regretting his inabilkty to come himself, had sent her to examine as to the condition of affairs and to report to him. The persons who have been prominent in helping the sufferers by the floods were presen to the Empress, who thanked them for their efforts to allevIae-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 seated to her the leading officials of the dep utationand the relief committee, composed of oflicers of the Second Hussars. Arch bishp 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 schoolchbldren. TheEmpressdrove 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 Councilor Jacobs, the JEmpress said: "I commission you to express to all taking a helpful part in the present danger the thaskofice Emperor and myself.

M trrmA NICHOrS. 27 Florida ret.a A BUSINESS-LIKE DOG. ao Compels His Master, the Doctor, to Cal Upon a Patient. (From the Gridley, Cal., Herald.) Dr. Harris, of this city, is the owner >f a dog whose remarkable intelligence is worth recording in the historical an nals of marvels peculiar to this age. "Don" is a thorough-bred bird-dog, paniel and pointer combined, and al ways at his master's heels when that gen deman is at home. About six weeks ago the doctor was called to Siskiyou county md did not return until last Saturday. "Don" was comled to stay at home, md stuck very close to the house. When parties would call and inquire for the physician the dog would invariably in errupt the conversation, and, taking hold of the caller's coat or dress, en ceavor to lead them to the depot, at the ame time barking vigorously. He would also be at the depot regularly every morning when the train arrived from the north, apparently looking for bis master. The last week of the gen tleman's absence "Don" was at the depot apon the arrival of every train from the north, hence when the doctor got off he was met by a gentleman 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 hysi aian. "Yes," replied Harris; "but I shouldn't have come here if the dog hadn't almost forced me to." Harris then asoertained 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 doe Harris (aged 7 years) and com pel him to come home. " ER DYING CHAMPIONS." The Augusta Chronicle is impelled to re mark thus upon the dying condition of Roscoe Conkling and the failing strength of James G. Blaine: "The illness of Roscoe Conkling in New York recalls the fact that another conspi cuous figure in national politics is fast fail ing, and that before the year is closed James G. Blaine wall be no more. Latest advices from Europe, through medical sources, leave no doubt that the Maine statesman is dying from diabetes. He 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 die, 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 Congress. Conk ling was haughty and imperious, but learned, logical and cogent. Blaine has been affable, popular, eloquent and meg 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 politics. Blaine forced Conkling from the Senate, and Conkling knifed Blaine in the last national race. Neither will ever resume his place in the councils of the party-where each has fought with giant-like abilities. It may be said of Blaine that no party ever worshipped a man so closely or continu ously since the days of Henry Clay. It may be said of Conkling that no breath of dis honesty ever attainted his name or clogged his career. A statesman with Blaine's temperament and Conkling's character might revive even the drooping destinies of the Republican party, which seems now about to lose the abilities of both and to be near its own hour of dissolution. "What a leveller, what power of peace making has impendn death! The -two gladiators have droppe their weapons and ceased their hostile designs. An ocean rolls like eternity between them. One of these, in sunny Itally, sees his life ebb slowly out like the tide of the Vesuvian bay; the other walks the room in his de lirium and feels the voleano itself burning in his brain. In alittle while both shall sleep in the flower crypts and under the blue vaults of old New England." POWDERLY AND HOURS OF WORK. He Urges the Knight sto Perfect a Practical Plan. NEw Yonx, April 10.-General Mlaster Workman Powderly has written a letter to the Knights of Labor throughout the coun try in regard to hours of labor. He advises Knights to discuss the eight-hour plan dis passionately with their employers. He says that an immediate change cannot be insisted on. but that a practical plan should be per fected. He says that the workingmen and com mon people generally rule cities and towns and they should vote for men who favor shortening the hours of labor of municipal employes. The order, he says, must not be dragged into partisan politics, but the mem bers- should take an active part as citizens in the movement. He continues: "Begin at once to perfect a practical plan of operations looking to the inauguration of the eight hour day. Pass no resolutions of any kind!, but work on the plan and when the times comes to put it in operation it can be done without resolutions. "Consult employers, get their views, ar range with them for meetings to perfect plans and make an attempt to bring about a better feeling between the workingmen and employers than has existed for some time back. "It is true that many employers will not condescend to meet with or talk to their employes. Purse proud worms, who are to be classed among the .'ignorant rich,' will live to stand in their own and the com munity's light for ages to come, but the world does not move- around them. The day is coming in this land when the em ployer who has the manhood, the patriotism and the sense to talk in a straightforward way to his employees will be entitled to and will receive more honor and wealth than the selfish fellow upon whom fortune has showered riches and nothing else. Our members should not miss an opportunity to discuss some plank in our preamble at each meeting during the coming year. Take up the eight hour plan and discuss it side by side with the one which calls for the establishment of a governmental tele graph."j ______ PIANos AND ORGANS.

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 considerable noise was heard in the direction of Mr. Wise's house. He wanted to go and 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 ing, 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, Baira 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 trouble.-Prosperity Press and Reporter. A FOOTMAN'S GOOD LUCK. He Falls Heir to a Fortune of Thirty Thous and Dollars. Sydney H. Phipps, a young Englishman 20 years of age, employed as footman by Lawyer G. T. Bispham at 1805 De Lancey Place, has received word that he has fallen heir to a fortune of $30,000. He received a letter last Saturday from his mother, who lives in Liverpool, England, notifying him of the death of his grandfather, 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 he was a very much surprised young man, and could hardly believe his eyes as be read the let ter over and over again. Phipps 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. His 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. He stayed there a few weeks, but the lake city did not suit him and he came to Philadelphia, where he secured employment as attendant in the home of Dr. Stewart, of Broad street, and later with Lawyer Bispham. Phipps's intention is to go to England when he receives word that it is necessary for him to appear at the Cheltingham Court of Chancery, but he says he. has made up his mind not to stay there, but as soon as he sets the money to return to this country, which he likes.-Philadelphia Times, 9th. Mr. Healy's Warning. Drsm, April 10.-Mr. Timothy Healy, M. P., presided at a meeting of the National League held in this city today. He maintained that last Sunday's meet ings disproved the boast made by Chief Secretary Balfour that the league was dead. He said that they proved that the people were still willing adherents to the league, and that they were anxious to rid them selves of the thraldom of the British Gov ernment. If they once got an opportunity they would rise in their strength and shake off the galling yoke.

WAImGroN, April 10.-The Navy De partment has received a long report from Commander McCalla, of the United States ship Enterprise, respecting the Tangier affair and the strained relations between the Moorish Government and United States Consul Lewis. The communication, which is dated Tangier, March 21, says the present unsat isfactory situation is due to the unsettled condition of certain so-called mosque im proved real estate, which is leased by Amer ican citizens or their proteges, and to the circumstances attending the case of El Hofir, a protege of Leon Rofi, a citizen of the United States. Hofir is now imprisoned at Rabat. Commander McCalla thinks that our gov ernent is at a disadvantage in Morocco, because it has only a consul there, while all the other powersexcept Sweden are rep resented by ministers resident. A Youthful Murderer. Laney Walker has just been lodged in the Union jail for the murder of Sibby Ashe. Laney is a negro boy only 9 years of age. Sibby Ashe was a negro girl 12 years of age. The diffiulty in which Sibby met her death occurred in Gowdeys vile Township. A negro woman was washing clothes down at a spring when a dispute arose between the two children, and as the arguments of each had reached that stage when the debaters had exhausted their reason, they appealed to brute strength and a struggle ensued. The girl apparently got enough and fled to the woods. The boy pursued, and, overtaking her, plunged his knife into her side. From the effects of the wound she soon after wards died. The boy's age may save his neck. It is reported that he killed another child last year. Fire Ravages in the Orient. VASCOUvER, B, C., April 10.-The steamship Parthia arrived last night with Japanese advices to March 26. On March 18 the steamer Hayakkan Maru was burned in the island sea of Har imanada.

Fire at Sappore on March 18 destroyed 150 houses. Six teen houses were burned at Ikeshimu~ra Nakagory and 340 at Kashiwasaki Bosue on the 20th of March. Two earthquakes were felt at Tokio on the 16th, but no damage was done. The $10,000 verdict recovered by E. H. Lewis against the Jacksonville, Fla., News-Herald is a queer thing. Lewis is a wealthy tourist who was in Florida with his dying daughter. It was charged that he neglected the girl, and while she was onher deathbed he spent his time getting drunk in her room and fondling a Mrs. Carvanno in a suspicious manner. Lewis denied all the charges and claimed that his affection for Mrs. Carvanno was purely platonic. The case was tried in the United States Court with the result above stated. The defendants will con GENERAL NEWS NOTES. Items of Iluterest Gathered from Various Quarters. The latest figures show that there are 16,447,990 Sunday-school scholars in the world.

The Supreme Court of the United States yesterday decided that a State Legislature can legislate upon matters pertaining to the public health, even though such legislation may destroy what has hitherto been consid ered a legitimate business. The decision was upon the validity of the Pennsylvania statute making it unlawful for any person to manufacture or sell any imitation of butter or cheese. The court held that the act was valid; that the Legislature has an undoubted right to suppress the sale of manufacture of any article it may regard as prejudicial to the health of the public. Judge Harlan, who read the decision of the court, held that it was not necessary t< inquire whether the act was wise or other wise. That is a matter for the people wh< elect legislatures to determine.

AN AFTER THOUGHT. "All the stars are angels' eyes, Filled with heavens light." Mused the poet; and the skies Seemed fairer still that night. But it knocked the poetry out When he stopped to think: How could angels pure, devout, Ever stoop to wink? Overwork is a waste of capital. The secret of thrift is knowledge. A last resort-The shoemaker's shop, What is the longest voyage recorded iI the Bible? The widow's cruse. Many a broadcloth husband owes hi prosperity to the fact that he married gingham girl. Notwithstanding that itis leap year ther will probably be as many hops as usut this season. "Witness, did you ever see the prisone at the bar?" "0 yes; that's where I go acquainted with him." Rich people who are covetous are lik the cypress tree-they may appear wel) but are fruitless. Help others whenever you can; yo would yourself be grateful for a helpft hand in a moment of need. Conviction is in itself a power. Th -man who is sure of what he says gives as surance to those who hear him. The London Lancet tells "how to Ii when asleep." If it will teach some peop) how to keep from lying when awake it wi) do a puh~ic service. A worn-out society belle is like old mapi sugar.

A newly rich woman, being asked hos she liked her new house, replied, with aa air of 'supreme delight, "I like it ver; much; it is so very contiguous and high]; adjacent.!" A lazy fellow who was idling away hi time was asked by a minister where he es peted to go when he died. "<I shall no go," was the reply; "I expect to b carried." He was giving more attention to the foo< at a dinner party than to the lady to whoa he had been assigned to take in, and she annoyed, turned to him and sweetly said "You breakfast early, do you not?" He who is anxious to tie his tongue it knots will do well to attempt the followini exercise in pronunciation: A day or tw< ago, during a lull in business, two littlb bootblacks, one white and the other black were standing at the corner doing nothing when the white bootblack agreed to blaci the black bootblack's boots. The black bootblack was, of course, willing to hayi his boots blacked by his fellow-bootblack, and the bootblack who had agreed to black the black bootblack's boots went to work. A Fatal Accident. A fatal accident occurred near Smith's Mills, about thirty-five miles from George town, a few days ago, by which a colored man named Ben Davis lost his life. It seems that Davis, accompanied by two young white men named Perry, went into the woods in pursuit of turkeys early in the morning, and that one of the Perrys imitated the yelping of a turkey so closely that Ben mistook him for the genuine bird and undertook to creep up on him. Perry mistook the negro for a turkey and fired away at him and killed him. Davis is said to have been a very deserving man. He leaves a large family. Deadly Work of Lightning. Mr. J. F. Ingram, who lives in the Pri vateer Township, had a fine mule, a cow and a pig killed by lightning yesterday afternoon on his place. It is also reported that lower down in that section of the county, a negro boy and his mule was killed and the buggy to which the mule was attached was shattered to pieces by the same agency.-Sumter Watchman.

With broad green blades below? Madge has, within her chamber, This scion of Nilotian race To typify the purity That reigns about the place. One day a bud, fresh opened, Shone out a flower, full bloom and fair, And Madge-it was a way of hers Bent down and kissed it there. Her ripe, re:l lips touched softly Upon the cup of creamy snow Oh: would that I a lily were That Madge might kiss me so' -George Arnold. A Bit of Porcelain. It is while examining a collection 01 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 those who found out the secret of under glaze and over; the way to heat just so much at one stage of the painting and just so little at asnother; the inventor of a har monious blending of all that his prede cessors had discovered. But all their work told, and here is the result-a bit of porcelain that when examined at leisure and in the sympathetic frame of mind is. found to rank itself with great poetry, great music, great sculpture.-New York Cor. New Orleans Picayune. A Lesson to Horsemen. A Canadian writer draws attention to the fact that many horses are subjected to much pain by the bits being put intc their mouths on very cold mornings with out precaution being taken to free them from frost. He makes the following re marks on the subject, which are certainly worthy of consideration: "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." Giving horses ice water is. also cruel, and not calculated to conserve the health of the most useful helper man has on the farm.-Chicago Times. The Deadly Jungle Fever. Siam's great teak and ebony forests are several hundred miles from the coast. These are so dense that the superintend ent of the construction of telegraph, Mr. Fritz-an American-consumed two oa three months in cutting a way for a line through a forest of sixty-five miles. There was an advance party of some 500 natives cutting the trail, and a sec ond party of 170 putting up the poles and wire. Elenhants were used for all carrying. So terrible was the jungle fever that in that one jungle some 250 natives died within two months. If a dose of twenty grains of quinine.failed to break the fever death almost immedi ately ensued.-Carter Harrison in Chi cago Mail. There has not been one single im s provement in Russian railroads in the a last twenty-five years, and none are ex pected for fifty years to come. e During the first three months of this year 5,000 more immigrants arrived at New York than in the same time last Syear. There 'were 28,945 arrivals in tMarch. An Ohio man has patented a revolving hall tree with twelve pegs in it, and the man 'who comes home drunk can proba bly manage to hit one of them 'with his - hat. North Carolina, as announced some emonths ago, has been created a diocese in the Catholic Church, 'with the Rev. Leo Haid as first Bishop. The reverend Sgenitleman is at the head of St. Mary's eCollege in Belmont, and 'will be conse 1crated Bishop of North Carolina on the 8th of July by Cardinal Gibbons, 'who was at one time Vicar Apostolic of that State. 8Here is a new danger. John Clayton, of San Francisco, sometime ago comn Smenced taking phosphorus for a nerve tonic. He found that the drug braced up his system at first, but a little later it began 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, but he constantly begs 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 Represen tatives has passed a bill providing that the Secretary of the Trauyissue frac tional silver certificates of 10 15 and 25 cents, on receipt of $10 and upward in standard silver dollars. The 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.
