Why German Officer* Are Unhappy.
Berlin Correspondence of Collier's
Weekly: Lieutenant Bilse, at the mo
ment talked of In every officers casino In
the empire. Is the author of a romance
picturing German army life so merciless
ly and truly that he la In arrest pending
a court-martial for disclosing military
secrets. The accusation rests upon In
discretions of statement that are not ob
vious to the civilian eye. Bilse's book Is
really an analytical study of the depress
ing effect of the profession of arms on
men of heart and lively minds. In it may
he found on explanation of the frequent
Sulcldee In the officers' corps.
The officer who falls to qualify for the
genera] staff or to obtain an appointment
In the household troops must endure the
unending tedium of garrison duty. Bilse
served In a small post an the French
frontlor. He describes the unchanging
routine, the gossip of every day with the
same persons, the limited social life be
cause of caste prejudices, the deadening
of aspiration stimulated only by hollow
loyalty to the crown—as alone represent
lng the nation—and by decadent Ideas of
honor.
The unutterable weariness of such a life
after the man has reached 30, heightened
by a marriage for money, reduces one of
sensual temperament to a life of ease and
Indulgence or Irritates the man of sensi
bility to mental revolt sometimes ending
In suicide. This Is also why the socialists
receive secret aid from many officers.
r Bilse's work has been suppressed as tend
ing to bring the military profession Into
llscredlt.

PUNISHING ARMY i.
BULLIES SEVERELY
Kaiser of Germany Earning Ap
proval of the Socialists
in New Way.
FRANCIS JOSEPH VISITS
Emperor of Austria Will Probably
Make a State Call on Hia Brother
of Germany—At 73, He Still
Feels Young.
The kaiser is winning the approval
even of the socialists for the way in
which he is endeavoring to punish the
real guilty persons in the many cases of
maltreatment of private soldiers in the
army.
The case of Sergeant Breitenbach,
who was recently sentenced to eight
years in prison, having been found
guilty on 1,207 counts of abusing pri
vate soldiers, has had an epilogue, and
there is no doubt that this is the kais
er's heavy hand which is being felt.
Emperor William is known to have
said to the minister of war that when
soldiers had been abused those who
were really guilty were not the petty
officials, but those in command of the
companies and regiments.
The colonel of Sergeant Breitenbach’s
regiment has, therefore, been removed
from Ills command and sent to the post
of Thionville, which means the same
as absolute disgrace. The captain of
the company in which all these abuses
have taken place has been sentenced by
the court-martial to one month in pris
on for having been found guilty of
gravely neglecting his duties in toler
ating the actions of Sergeant Breiten
bach. The lieutenants of the company
have received similar sentences. All
the non-commissioned officers of this
company whose testimony has been
taken unanimously placed the blame on
the captain, accusing him of too great
leniency toward the privates and de
fend Sergeant Breitenbach for trying
to maintain by acts which, in their
eyes, were perfectly justifiable the old
fashioned German military discipline.
Wrhen seeing the testimony the kaiser
is reported to have told the general
in command of the First division of the
Infantry of the Guard that it was de
plorable that non-commissioned officers
in the army could be so perverted as
to defend these cruelties, which have
shocked Germany, also informing the
general that his most important task
at this was to see that the officers and
non-commissioned officers of his di
vision were taught to take a different
view of their rights and duties.
Emperor to Visit Kaiser.
It Is being stated here that Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria is seriously
thinking of paying the kaiser a visit,
and though no politics are connected
with it, the wish of the aged head of
the nation, whom Prussia fought and
vanquished in 1SH6, to see the kaiser af
ter, his illness has caused a very favor
able impression here.
In spite of his 73 years, Francis Jo
seph by no means regards himself as
old, and very few young men do as
much work as he does.
He was recently advised by his doc
tors to shorten his day somewhat—
he rises at 4 in the morning—-but he
replied, decidedly: “It is quite impos
sible. I can only do all I have to do in
the day as it is.”
The emperor, who is every inch a
soldier, is never seen in citizen’s
clothes except when on his hunting ex
peditions.
His recreations are few; one of his
favorites being the stalking the
chamois.
For this purpose he sometimes visits
one of his shooting boxes, generally in
the Styrian Alps.
He has an extraordinary gift for lan
guages, and not only can he speak flu
ently those in every part of his realm,
but he has a perfect command of
French and English.
Like the venerable king of Denmark,
Emperor Francis Joseph is quite a fa
ther of his people, and he frequently
walks alone through the narrow streets
of the poorer part of Vienna.
The risk he thus runs from anach
ists has been pointed out to him, but he
refuses to change his habits, saying
that no Hapsburg was ever a coward.
A few days ago he was driving in an
open carriage through a side street,
when a little ragged boy ran up to his
carriage and threw a dirty, badly
spelled letter into his lap, asking the
“Dear Mr. Emperor” to help his poor
mother, who was sick in bed.
Within two hours the poor woman
had food and wine, and now the boy is
working in the imperial stables, earn
ing enough to keep his nlother in com
fort.
Should the emperor visit this city
the people will not be barred from the
streets through which he will pass on
his way to the Imperial palace.
Prince Louis Ferdinand of Bavaria,
brother of the king and a nephew of the
prince regent, is probably the only per
son of royal blood who plays in an or
chestra In a public theater.
During the recent Wagner Cycle at
the Royal theater at Munich the
prince, who is an excellent musician,
could oe seen playing his violin in the
orchestra, subject to exactly the same
discipline as the other members.
The prince is a believer in work, and
he has not only qualilied as a doctor of
medicine, but, like his oculist cousin,
Duke Carl Theodore, he practices and
gives hs services to the poor free of
charge.
He is a clever surgeon and an ex
pert gynecologist. He is 44 years of
- age and the father of three children,
whom he has educated according to his
own views.
A son, aged 19, studies medicine; a
daughter of 17 is an artist.
When the Prince Regent recently ac
cused him of being eccentric and low
ering himself by forgetting his dignity
; us a member of the royal house, he re
i plied: “Must I then be a drone be
i cause of my royal descent? My work
as a doctor makes me a useful member
i of society.”
French and German Army Service.
The people of Germany have never
been able to understand how It was
possible for the young men of France
to look forward with pleasure to serv
ing their terms in the army.
The number of young Germans who
have emigrated, mutilated themselves
i or .even committed suicide to escape
! putting on the dreadful uniform runs
up into the hundreds every year.
When one has followed the dis
closures brought to light by the com
mission named to look into the many
complaints of privates against their
officers one understands the young Ger
man's fear of the military service.
In the French army a recruit is
treated as a human being, a prominent
Berlin paper explains, and in proof
publishes a general order Just Issued
by General Dalsteln, chief of the
! ->ch cti»th trmy corps, which says:
1/ • *0 :ers should always re
| member that the young recruit should
be received as a son in the great mil
tary family, the Frtsnch army.
"Our army is a great fraternal broth
erhood and the new members, who be
I long to all classes of society and wh t
I join us with hearts glowing with patri
I otism, should be made to feel at horru
' from the very first day.”
"These few words taken from the
French general’s order may possibly
explain to the German people why a
Frenchman is proud to be found capa
ble of service in the army, while a
German dreads it,” writes a prominent
Berlin paper.
Too Many Princes.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg say.
that the czar has decided that there
are too many princes in Russia and
that most of the exotic creatures car
rying this proud title, and whom we
know so well in Paris and at Monte
Carlo, have no right to any title what
ever.
As a rule they come from Caucasus,
where they are as numerous as colonels
in Kentucky.
Convinced that these half civilized
people disgrace Russian nobility in
other countries, Czar Nicholas has ap
pointed a commission to separate the
tares from the wheat.
The poor members of the commission
are having no sinecure, as many of
these princes claim that the titles were
conferred upon their ancestors to the
time when Colchis Mingrelia and Im
eritia were independent kingdoms.
The kings of ti.ese ancient states
were evidently very liberal In bestow
ing titles.
One Caucasian prince claims that one
on his forefathers was made a prince
because of picking up a belt which his
sovereign dropped and was very much
hurt when the commissioners decided
that he was to be called prince no more.
The origin of the kaiser’s polypus,
which has started the people of two
hemispheres Is no longer a mystery.
The Society of Anti-Tobacco Smokers
have settled beyond a doubt—< r, at
least, to their own satisfaction—that
had the kaiser never smoked his vocal
cords would never have needed the sur
geon's knife.
A Great Smoker.
Like most Germans, the kaiser Is ar.
inveterate smoker, and delights in a
pipe of good Havana, especially pre
pared for him. He recently added a
most gorgeous meerschaum pipe, with
a turquoise mouthpiece decorated with
the German eagle artistically carved,
and a large "W” in gold, to liis already
unique collection of pipes.
The society is said to have sent a
petition to the kaiser asking him for
the sake of the fatherland to give up
smoking.
The kaiser, however, has no such In
tention, and is looking forward with
great pleasure to the day when his phy
sicians will allow him the use of his fa
vorite pipe.
American gourmets, who form a very
large part of the clientele of the fash
ionable and high priced restaurants of
this city, would be surprised if they
knew the ingredients of many of the
savory dishes which they eat here.
WAGNER AS A HUMORIST.
How He Complied With the Suggest
ion of a London Newspaper.
Collier’s Weekly: Richard Wagnfer
was not a man to whom one would nat
urally ascribe the faculty of ready jok
ing. It is not from the creator of the
serious, somber "Flying Dutchman”
or the composer of the half-mystical,
half-religious opera “Parsifal” that one
would expect cheerful pranks at the
expense of other people. Nevertheless,
an instance is on record of how the
great tone-painter of Balreuth played a
very funny trick on a newspaper and
probably a good many of the readers
accustomed to relying on what it said.
It was in the fifties. Wagner, then
still climbing the ladder of fame, was
conducting the Philharmonic concerts
in the British metropolis for a season.
Being, as he remained to to the end, a
very ardent admirer of Beethoven, and,
in fact, knowing that master’s nine
symphonies by heart, he selected sev
eral of them for performance in the
said series of concerts.
The first time, then, that Wagner
conducted a Beethoven symphony in
London the public received the rendi
tion kindly enough, but the next morn
ing a certain newspaper with a very
large circulation, came out with a
rather severe criticism. The author of
“Lohengrin" was in cold print, but in
unreserved terms, scolded for directing
a symphony by the immortal Beethoven
without a score in front of him. Such
a proceeding, to which London was un
accustomed, was sheer presumption, so
ran the criticism. And after further
uncomplimentary remarks, the greqj;
and influential journal advised young
Ilerr Wagner to use a score when he
conducted a Beethoven symphony
again. Well, soon Herr Wagner did,
thl3 time with a l)Qok of music open be
fore him on his desk. lie was seen to
turn over the leaves with a certain
amount of regularity, too. His reward
came, tl e next day, in the form of a
commendatory article in the aforesaid
newspaper, which praised him for a
very much better interpretation of
Beethoven than his last, due, of cqurse,
to the suggested use of the score.
Whereupon Wagner (we think our pun
is justified in this particular instance)
announced the fact that the score in
front of him the previous evening was
that of Rossini's opera, "The Barber of
Seville," turned upside down.

THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER.
Has Some Seven Hundred Important
Rules to Remember.
Harper’s Weekly: Officials who operate
the fast trains recently put on between
New York city and the west are just now
facing a problem in philosophy which, on
paper, looks something like this:
“How many iron-clad rules can the hu
man mind keep within instant recall if
death is the penalty for forgetting?”
The answer is supposed to lie somewhere
in the code of rules and signals which the
officials have devised for the operation of
these fast trains. These rules, of which
there are about 7C0 for each 125 miles be
tween New York city and Chicago, were
made for the safety of the public, but the
public may look askance when it learns
that one man must remember 700 of them,
and that a slip on any one rule may mean
a shocking loss of human life.
Tbeso 700 rules are the average for each
division of the chief railroad lines run
ning west from New York. Each set cov
ers the work of one engineer, who drives
his train until another engineer, with a
fresh set of rules, and presumably a fresh
memory, relieves him. In other words,
eight men, the average number of loco
motive engineers who drive a fast train
between New York and Chicago, must
keep constantly in mind nearly 6,00) dif
ferent rules, in order that patrons of these
trains may travel without risking their
lives. What this means to the public, in
twenty-four hours’ ride on one of these
trains, can be judged from the following
list of what an engineer on a certain 100
mile run has to watch, while his locomo
tive is going at sixty miles an hour:
Five hundred “cross-over” switch lights,
to learn whether they are red or white.
Fifteen “interlocking” switch lights, to
learn whether they are red, white or
green. Seven “non-interlocking” switch
lights, to know whether they are red or
white. Three “non-interlocking” switch
lights, to know whether they are red or
green. Semaphore arms at twenty-five
way stations, for possible red lights. Four ]
hundred highway crossings, to know
whether they are “clear.” Locomotives
of a dozen trains approaching on parallel
tracks, for red or green lights. Telegraph
operators at twenty-five way stations, who
may be waiting near the track with or
ders. For a red flag at any conceivable
point in the 100 miles, displayed as a dan
ger signal. Whether one or two torpe
does are exploded at any point in the 100
miles, signifying “caution” or “stop.”
Whether his clearance card is good for
each of twenty-five way stations. Whether
there is enough water in the engine boiler.
Whether there is enough water in the en
gine tender. Whether there is enough coal
in the engine tender. Whether the steam
pressure is being kept up. Whether the
fireman is obeying another lohg sot of
rules. Whether the engine bell rings at
400 highway crossings.
By day the switch and signal lights are
replaced by signal boards and “blocks,”
the color or direction of which must be
read as literally as the lamps. The engi
neer who notes 699 of these signs from
his cab window, and misses the 700th, has
takfin, in race track language, a ”700 to 1
shot” with a trainload of human lives.
The public has good reason to ask
whether the safety limit has not been
reached with both speed and rules. There
must be a point where the locomotive is
so large, and its speed so great, that one
human mind connot safely control it, no
matter how few the levers are. A ninety
ton passenger locomotive going at seventy
miles an hour, and operated by one man
“inside” it., is as much a psychological
freak as a 250-pound human athlete would
be, if turned loose with the brain of a
V year-old boy.
WOMAN AN ENGINEER.
Candidate Successful in Business ant
Has Studied Law and Medicine.
Chicago Record-Herald: Miss Annie
Ball has Just been licensed by the city
board of examining engineers to run a
stationary engine, and thus becomes
the only woman In that class In Chi
cago, and perhaps in the United States.
She was refused a license upon her
first application. Then she offered to
give the examiners $1,000 each if she
could not take an engine apart and put
It together again in their presence, but
was told that that was not the way to
obtain the permit. She submitted to an
oral examination, but failed because,
she says, of the "rapid-fire” method of
propounding wordy questions, latter
she took the written examination and
came off triumphant with an average
of 84.
She took the test, not because she
desires to follow the vocation of an en
gineer, but for the reason that, as she
expressed it, "I was told that I couldn’t
do it.” She manufactures playing
cards and composition goods at 85
Market street, under the firm name of
“A. Bali & Brother,” although Bhe is
the sole proprietor of the place. Re
cently she found her engineer intoxi
cated and discharged him and started
to operate the engine herself. The en
gineer complained to the authorities,
who ordered her to cease operating the
machinery or be fined $25.
"After I had finished the written ex
amination one of the examiners told
me that I was competent to run the city
pumping works or any other stationary
plant,” said Miss Ball last evening at
her home. 304 West Monroe street.
"My knowledge of engineering was ac
quired from actual experience at my
plant before the present rigid laws
were passed and from the study of
technical boks.
The oral examiriation, w hieh I took
three months ago, consisted of such
verbose questions, propounded so rap
idly that 1 think only a small per cent,
of even the most competent applicants
could have answered. The written
questions, also, are too Involved und
wordy, and I have no doubt that many
a deserving applicant fails on this ac
count rather than from lack of practi
cal knowledge. If the examining board
would have an engine in the examining
rooms and ask applicants for licenses
to demonstrate their ability, not a few
of those who now fail would be able
to get licenses.”
Miss Ball has been reinargably suc
cessful as a business woman. She was
brought to Chicago from Holland by
her parents when very young, and has
been in business here since the fire.
She has large interests in phosphate
and real estate near Bay City, Fla.,
where she operates mining machinery
or directs its operation the greater part
of every year. She speaks Dutch, Ger
man and English fluently, can converse
in French and has tuken courses in law
and medicine.
His Idea of It.
Judge: At the theater the ladies are
discussing the attire of those about
them, as usual. By and by their atten
tion is attracted to a lady who is the
central figure of a box party.
"Isn’t she stunning?” murmurs one
of the fair ones. "She is dressed in
mauve satin, is she not?”
"Now," laughs another of them, "let
us leave it to the professor, here. What
has he to say of it? What is she
dressed in, professor?"
Here the professor, who had been
studying the sights and scenes with
all the interest of a sava.pt, stakes a
casual glance at the object of the dis
cussion and ventures: "As nearly as I
can Judge from here, she is dressed in
puris naturalibus.’’
Whereat they laugh, thinking he re
fers to peau de sole, or some such fab
ric, and has merely made one of the
numerous blunders which are common
to the untutored mail.
THE HEN PHEASANT AND MATE
A Fable for the Spouse Who Envies
Masculine Prerogatives.
London Truth: Once, at the Fag end
of the Shooting Season, a Hen Pheasant
Bald to Her Mate:
"It strikes me, Sir, that I have been
subservient to your Majesty long enough.
After all, I am as good as you. I can
Strut as proudly." (Here she suited the
Action to the Word.) "I can get up In
the Coverts with as loud a ‘Wh-r-r-r.
-and, In short, there’s Nothing you can
do that I can’t do as well—or better. I
decline, therefore, to be a crushed Worm
of a lien any longer. From henceforth
I live the free. Independent Life of a |
Cock.”
Next Day, when they were out together !
In the Woods, they were disturbed by
the sound of a Man’s Footstep. Up flew
the Cock with a loud Wh-r-r-r. and the
Hen, not to be outdone, faithfully 1ml- ]
tated his Uolse and Flight ns she rose.
Deceived by th(p, the Sportsman (who
was out for Cocks) let fly at her with
both Barrels and wounded her. not, >
however, so badly but that she managed
to get away, and presently to rejoin her
Mate in a Place of Safety.
"Did you ever hear the Like?" she
clucked. In furious Indignation. "When
It Is the Immemorial Prlvlllge of us Hens
to be exempt from Powder and Shot at
the end of the Season!"
Her Mate replied:
"This Is unreasonable, my dear Part
let. You cannot expect, while claiming
the Status of the Cocl( Bird, to retain also
the Immemorial Privilege of the Hen.”
Moral: Women cannot be both Femi
nine and Masculine.

Sioux Falls Press: Did you ever no

you noticed the size shoes they wear?
It Is a rare thing that you will ever
see an Indian with shoes that are large
enough. Last evening a reporter of
the Press spoke of the fact to Jones,
the shoeman. “Oh, yes," said Jones,
"Indians never have their shoes fitted
and they buy the smallest size they can
find If they think they can get their foot
Into it. One time we bought a bargain
lot of shoes for a certain purpose and
advertised them at $1. In came the
Indians. Guess they read the Press.
Well, sir, they rushed in and said, 'Give
me six,’ 'give me five and a half,’ ’give
me five.’ We sell a good many shoes to
the Indians and we seldom sell a shoe
to the longest redman that is larger
than a No. 6.” Mr. Jones confessed
that to him the fact was very percept
ible for he himself wears a No. 12.
"Some time," said Mr. Jones, "these In
dians como In here with their big toes
extending through a hole In the uppers

had a complication of female trouble*
and I could not have any children un
less I could be cured. He tried to cur*
me, but. after experimenting for sev
eral months, my husband became dis
gusted, and one night when wo noticed!
the testimonial of a woman who had'
been cured of similar trouble through'
the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound, he went out
and bought a bottle for me. I usedi
your medicine for three and one-half
months, improving steadily iu health,
and in twenty-two months a child'
came. I cannot fully express the joy
and thankfulness that is in my heart.;
Our home is a different place now, a*
wo have something to live for, and:
all the credit is due to Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. Yours very sincerely, Mr*.
