The Berlin doctors have agreed
that the Crown Prince is a doomed
man, the victim of an incurable
cancer. His days are numbered,
and both he and his royal father
will soon pass away. The heir ap
parent to the throne is described as
a young prince full of ambition and
inspired by a military ardor. It is
feared that he may not have the
wisdom which prefer peace to war.
If the government runs the tele
graphs, says the New York Sun
why may it not proceed to take and
run the railroads and the express
companies, to work the mines and
the oil wells, and then go on to the
management of all the manuxactur-
ies, and finally to the control and
monopoly of all business to the en
tire destruction of private enters

The Ghieago public have reached

It is earned in accordance with

According to an old Russian rule,
the bride-groom makes his bride a
presant of a wedding costume, as
well as of jewelry. The dowry of a
Russian maiden will consist of a
full wardrobe, household utensils,
silver articles, carpets curtains,
china, furniture and a piano. The
latter is indispensible. Everything
must be of solid silver. Should a
young wife die without leaving any
children behind, her dowry can be
lawfully claimed by her parents.
Sometimes young ladies form par
ties to help the intended bride make
her clothes. The month of May is

The change politically in the state
of Virginia during the past seven
years has been very marked. The
official returns of the recent elec
tion, omitting .one county from
which two reports come, show that
119,555 Demcatatitjrotes were cast
in the'state agSnsF 116,940 Repub
lican, s democratic majority of only
2,615. In the presidential election
of 1880 the combined Democratic
tickets received 129.976 asrainst 84.-1 Scald
020 rnsfc fnr ftm-fiplil Tn 1SS1
there was the fight between the
Democrats and Keadjusters, which
resulted in 99,757 votes i8or the
former and ill&73 for the Read
juster candidate for Governor. In
1884 Cleveland receivec 145,497
against 139,356 for Blaine. In
1885, when Lee ran against Wise
for Governor, the Democrat received
152,544 to the latter's 136,510.
This time the vote was much reduc
ed in both parties, having fallen off
in all 48,658; that is, 25,942 Demo
cratic and 22,716 Republican from
the vote of 1884, h 62'559 less
than two yrfcp,.-or nearly 22
