Wo hoar complaints from various
sources that it is dilHeuh to buy copies of
the BKE , while the other papers are al
ways to bo had. The BKE being the most
popular paper , is sold out first , and late
comers are disappointed.Vo are at all
times prepared to supply newsmen so
that they can meet the demand , and
people who are unable to obtain the BEE
will oblige us by notifying us of the fact
at once.
Tun German people are showing their
friendship for America by contributintr
generously for the relief of the Charles

M . BLAINE is reported as doubtful
whether ho would care to contest the
Hold again with Mr. Cleveland in 1888.
The republican uarty is beginning to bo
doubtful whether they would care to
have him.
A iiEvoiiT is current that a son of the
Prince of Wales is engaged to Miss Jennie -
nio Chamberlain , of Cleveland. This is
the first intimation the public has re
ceived that Miss Chamberlain is about to
enter the theatrical profession.
THE report that cx-Uovornor Kirk-
wooil , who is the republican candidate
for congress in the Second district of
Iowa , is steadily gaining ground , is
gratifying. But ho has a very largo job
on hand in the effort to overcome a
democratic majority of 0,000.
BISMAIICKis not above nepotism. lie
has made excellent provision for Ms son
Count Herbert , in the diplomatic service
It must bo conceded , however , lha
Herbert Is an uncommonly clover fellow
and owes his honors quito as much to
personal merit as to paternal favor.
WHAT is to become of Mr. Manning is
still an undetermined and interesting
question. It would bo very easily and
promptly decided were bo simply a clerk
Iii the treasury incapacitated by sickness
for discharging his duties. In that case
ho would be unceremoniously bounced.
VEIVT little effort is required to fan the
embers of riot in Belfast into a flume. A
street fight on Sunday led to an outbreak
wlilch resulted In the wounding of twenty
people from bullets fire.I by the police.
Iii this case ovor-zcal on the part of the
authorities was probably at fault , but the
occurrence serves to show the quick sus
ceptibility of the popular temper to the
least exciting influence , and that there is
a volcanic undercurrent from which an
eruption is possible at any time.
TIIEUE is undoi btodly no substantial
foundation for the report that the son o
the prince oi Wales contemplates a matrimonial
menial alliance witji the Cleveland belle
Miss Jennie Chamberlain , who for sev
eral seasons baa boon ono of the
reigning beauties in London , and who
ia nqxr sojourning iu Scotland. The
lady has only her presonal charms
which are somewhat exaggerated , am
n rich uncle , who might not bo over
generous in the matter of dowry , to com
iKend her to royally , and it may bo
doubted whether these modest appurton
AIICO.S would satisfy the young man's
grandmother , who will have something
to say , and who has shown , as in the case
of lialtcnbnrg , that she will accept any
body who has the Jabol of royalty , bu
that the label is indispensable. Being re
Btrictwl to an inferior and deteriorating
circle from which to select a husband o
wife , (3 ( ono of the most serious disadvait
tages of being u seion of royalty , and i
is one that in time will have to be over
.come , if royalty Is uot to become extinct
IJie County Koprcscn.tn.Uvos.
The two nominees from Douglas county
mUidc of Omaha , selected by the late
cpubllcan convention , will command a
initcd republican support. Both are
armors ot experience , citizens of nnbloin-
shed reputation , nnd men of high char-
ictcr anil ability.
Mr. W. G. Whltmoro I.s well known in
) oughs county. As a member of the
ast lugislaturo from this district , ho
n.idc an enviable record as a faithful , tip-
ight and elllcicnt member of the delega-
ion. His services to his constituents were
ccogni/.ed in the practically unanimous
ote which ho received from the convcn-
ion on Saturday. Mr. Whltmoro is a
clear-Headed thinker , a strong speaker
and an earnest worker. He is a pro- .
lounced advocatoof General Van Wyck's
election , in which respect ho voices the
'venvholming sentiment of the people of
lis section of Douglas county.
Mr. 1' . B , Hlbbard , who comes from the
oahlern part of Iho county , is ono of the
jest educated and most successful far-
ncrs of the-state. Hois a staunch and
Ifo-long republican , an excellent btisi-
icss man , who has made farm-
ng u sclcntilic and profitable
study , and a citizen who has kept
dmsolf fully abreast of the progress of
.ho times and Iho issues of the hour. Mr.
Hlbbard is honest , active , energetic and
i man of strong convictions. No butter
representative of the farming interests of
liis district could have been selected , lie
will bo found to bo ono of the strongest
members of the delegation , and an ardent
supporter of Senator Van Wyck.
Jjot Them I'ull Together.
There is no reason why the ticket nom
inated by the republican convention on
Saturday should not bo elected by the
largest majority over given in Douglas
county. The convention was a represen
tative ono. All elements were on the
lloor. There were no contested delega
tions , no factional wrangles , no scones of
discord , no wounds inflicted to leave
ugly scars and engender still more ugly
resentments. For the lirst time in years
the republicans of Douglas county , with
out respect to east differences , mot
in harmonious conclave , and carried
through the business of the hour orderly ,
peaceably , and in a spirit which bodes
well for a successful issue of the cam
paign inaugurated.
A united republican party in Douglas
county means a certain republican vic
tory in November. There is no reason
why every republican should not put his
shoulder to the wheel. Let all factional
issues bo forgotten , and the ticket nomi
nated in Saturday's convention will bo as
certain of election six weeks hence as a
republican senator is of election in the
next legislature.
The AttHtrlnu Mission.
There are renewed rumors that Secre
tary Manning will retire on October 1st
from the treasury department , and that
upon his retirement he will bo at once
nominated to the va6ant Austrian mis
sion. This piece of news is in contra
diction of the generally accepted de-
cisibn of the administration to leave the
mission to Vienna vacant during the re
mainder of .Mr. Cleveland's term. The
public has accepted for some time , as the
correct view of the differences between
our government and Austiia , the
alleged discourtesy on the part of
the latter in the Keiley matter.
Soon after the rejection of Mr. Keiloy by
the Austrian court , Count Kalnoky , the
Austrian prime minister , recalled Baron
Schaeflbr , the representative of that coun
try at Washington. It is now asserted
by those who are in position to know ,
that the real cause of the trouble was as
follows : Baroji ScliaclTor communicated
to Secretary Bayard certain instructions
ho had received from Count Kalnoky.
Ho did this for Mr. Bayard's personal
information. In return for this
kindness the secretary violated the
confidence placed iu ' him by
Baron Schaeffer , and embodied this in
formation in his ollicial dispatches to the
Austrian government , which were pub
lished. Kalnoky , exasperated at the
publicity given to his orders , at once re
called Baron SchaciTcr , and at the same
tlmo told the Mccrotary of state vor\
plainly his opinion of the blundering di
plomatic methods of the administration.
This open slap in the face of Mr , Bayan
he has resented by refusing to tnko anj
stops to fill the vacancy at Vienna
Whether the story bo true or not , it is
quito of a piece with the remainder o :
Bayard's blundering diplomatic perform
ances. The "Delaware statesman" has
been a bull in the state office china she |
and the smashing of diulomatio crockery
and the precedents of ordinary business
transactions has boon mortifying to the
American nation ever < since ho assumed
charge. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The Dohrlngjijoti Seizures.
Secretary Bayard haying expressed the
opinion that the seizures of the Canadiai
schooners engaged in seal lishing ii
Behring sen are likely to raise an issue
which will lead to a lively diplomatic con
trovorsy. and in the same connection hav
ing suggested or implied a doubt as to
whether the claim of the United States to
the supreme control of that sea would bo
allowed or can bo mahuainod , it becomes
interesting to know the basis of the claim
now for the lirst time brought into con
trovorsy.
Alaska was purchased by tlio Unitci
States in 1807 , and while it was a Russia !
possession there had never been n ques
tion regarding tlio absolute jurisdiction
of that government over the entire waters
of Bohring sea. When the purchase was
made the fur trade was regarded as the
interest of first importance. Indeed
until the mineral resources of the country
were discovered , a number of year
afterward , the fur trade was thought to
bo the only source from which the
government could expect any return fo
iu outlay of seven million dollars as pur
chase money , The Aleutian islands am
adjacent waters , as the ! breeding nut
hunting grounds for thoscal , were , there
fore , at the time deemed the most yalu
able parts of the acquisition. Hence the
United States government was careful to
have the rights coded by Uiihsia tcrri
torially described in the most exact tun
explicit manner.
The convention by which Alaska was
conveyed to the United Statcii follows ii
its description the western line .of delimitation
limitation , which starts at a point it
Uelirin. Straits on the parallel of 05 de
grees 80 minutes north latitude and ex
tends north to the Arctic ocean , run
southwest from the same point throng !
the straits nnd sea of Bohring to the me
ridian of 173 dpgrooa west longitude , and
hence continues southwest , passing mid-
vay between the Alton and Copper
.stands , so as to include the whole of the
Vlcntlan islands cast of that meridian.
V reference to the map will enable the
cador to readily delineate the course of
hcso Ilnci , from \vblc h they will be scon '
o embrace nearly the whole of Behring
soa. When the cession was made there
v.is no question from any source as to
he right of Russia to make it , and this
act Is to be taken as a virtual acknowl
edgment of her right. Tlio government
of tlio United States evidently never en
ertained a doubt that Its jurisdiction was
complete , congress having enacted that
'no per/son / shall kill any otter , mini : ,
narten , sable , or fur , seal , or
> tlicr fur-bearing animal within the
imlt of Alaska territory , or in the waters
hereof , " prescribing severe penalties for
each offense , and further that "all ves
sels , their tackle , apparel , furniture and
cargo , found engaged in violation of this
section , shall bo forfeited"but providing
.hat "thosccrotary Df the treasury shall
nivo power to authorize the killing j > f
such mink , marten , sable , or other fur-
joaring animal , except fur seal , under
such regulations as ho may prescribe ;
mil It shall bo the duty of the secretary
.o prevent the killing of any fur seals ami
to provide for the execution of the pro
visions of thisscctlon until it is otherwise
provided by law ; nor shall he grant any
special privileges under this section. "
The passngo of this law and its pre
valence until now attests the view which
this government has held for nearly
twenty years regarding its rights in
Alaskan waters , audit remains to be seen
whether Iho English government , having
made no objection to the transfer of
jurisdiction by Russia and never having
questioned it since , will now , to gratify
Lho pique and malice of Canada , serious
ly iittcnipt to disparage the claim of the
United States to the exclusive and
supreme control of this sea , a right that
is indispensable to the protection of a
most valuable interest. As yet the mat
ter has not reached the state department
in an ollicial or diplomatic form , but in
the present temper of the Canadian gov
ernment toward the United States , there
can be no doubt that it will make all pos-
sihle haste in bringing the subject to the
attention of the homo government and
insisting that it shall tnko cognizance of
it. In the meanwhile our state depart
ment ought to bo so well prepared lo
meet the issue as to avoid the stupid and
ImmUiatiug blunders which have char
acterized its treatment at the outsrst of
other matters with which it has recently
had to deal.
Uoml Calls and tlio Surplus
Bondholders are declining very gener
ally to surrender the o per cents which
the government has called in for redemp
tion. Out of the ten millions which the
government olio red to redeem between'
the end of August and the middle of Sep
tember , only $878,000 were presented
for cancellation. The compulsory call of
last week will withdraw ? 10ODOOtO addi
tional by the 10th of October , leaving
after that date only about 100,000,000 of
the 3 per cents to bo called. Including
the last call , the amount of bonds called
within the fiscal year , beginning ' July 1 ,
is $52,000,000 , exclusive of the ? 10000,000
voluntary call , of which , as already
stated , less than $1OCO,000 has been 10-
deomed.
The soundness of the demands of the
Morrison surplus resolution has been
freely demonstrated by the heavy re
ceipts of the treasury within the last
month , which during that lime have
averaged a million a day and have boon
largely in excess of the expenditures.
Should this volume of receipts be main
tained the whole of the outstanding 3 per
cents will have to bo called for redemp
tion before the Fiftieth congress meets in
December , 1887. This consideration will
doubtless impose on the present congress
at its next session the duty
of taking measures to enable the
secretary of the treasury to apply the
surplus revenue to the purchase of
bonds not due or of making n substan
tial reduction of the tariff in the interests
of American nruiufacturcrs by an en
largement of the free list. The demands
for free materials for use in our factories
are increasing m.tho very hot beds of the
high tariff men , as manufacturers sou
that by such a course now markets
would bo opened and additional employ
incut would bo afforded to labor.
The only alternative to a rational tariff
revision for revenue reduction will bo the
purcliaso of bonds in the open markets.
The ! } per cents redeemable in 18U ! are
now selling ni $1.12 and the 4 per cents of
11)07 ) at $1.20. * Should the government
enter the market as iv purchaser they
would go still higher.
The Business Situation.
If the long expected boom has not ar
rived at lost , all signs fail , All eastern
markets report unusu.l activity. In Now
York the fall trade is said to bo of unpro
cedentcd volume. Elsewhere through
out the country the distribution of all
kinds of merchandise for homo trade re
quirements continues largo. The only
noteworthy decline in prices during thu
past week has been in the grain markets ,
where it results from the pause in for
eign buying and the steady growth of
domestic stocks.
Wool continues lirm and docidely more
active , owing to the advance in Australian
wools in foreign markets. Dry good are
more in demand with stocks in all de
partments cast well sold up. The iron
and stool trades continue strong at all
points , with a favorable outlook for fu
ture business.
Wheat prices have declined 3 to 2j
cents a bushel under the pressure of ac
cumulating stocks in this country and a
comparatively light demand for export.
Stocks in sight , including the amount
afloat and in transit from all parts of the
world to Great Britain nnd the Conti
nent , show an increase of 3,000,000 bush
els. The movement of winter wheat at
primary points is smaller , but receipts
at sprilig wheat centers continue
large. Foreign markets are weaker
nnd exporters are Holding oil' . The
situation is favorable for n good export
business during the balance of the crop
year , but foreign buyers are evidently
inclined to allow the depressing influ
ences now nt work in American markets
to spend their force before they again
make free purchases. Corn has de
clined : } to 3 } cents per bushel under free
soiling in-all grain centers , induced by
largo receipts and more favorable
weather for the growing crop , which will
very soon bo secured from tlio risk of
injury by early frosts. There is very lit-
, \o \ export demand for corn nad stocks
an ? increasing. Local reports show a
satisfac'ory business among Omaha job-
jers. Bank clearhfgs ciuitinuc to regis-
; i-r the usual increasoj weekly , , Omaha

financial centers of the country.
Tlic IlenU of the Ticket.
Mr. George W. Liningcr , who heads
: lie republican legislative ticket , stands
n no need of an introifjiction to the citi
zens of Douglas county" Ho is one of the
foremost of our successful and ontorpri-
ng business men ad ono of the best
nown ami most highly respected clti-
/.ens of the stale. HP is an American In
the fullest scnso of the word and in every
respect n representative man. Although
lie has travelled all the world over , ho bo-
liovcs in America and American institu
tions.
Starting out in life with no silver spoon
in his mouth , Mr. Liningor has car.ved
Ins way up to competence by hard work ,
lionest dealing and largo executive abil
ity. Ho has been identified with most of
our manufacturing enterprises in their
Infancy , and has been directly and indi
rectly n heavy employer of labor. In his
sympathies Mr. Linluger is outspoken in
favor oi liberal pay and fair treatment of
Iho workingman , and stands squarely
upon the labor and railroad regulation
platform adopted by tlm convention.
While temperate himself , Mr. Liningor'
bnllovcs that prohibition does not pro
hibit , and favors high license as the
proper solution of the temperance prob
lem.
lem.It
It goes without saying that Mi. Llnin-
gor is heartily in favor of returning Gen
eral Van Wyck to the United States sen
ate for nnothor term. Mr. Liningor is
not a politician. Ho is. a republican from
principle , but has never sought office
and declares that ho will not solicit votes
personally. The only olilce. ho has hold
in Omaha is that of councilman from the
Fourth ward. In that capacity ho proved
himself a very useful and olliciont public
servant.
It may not be out of plsice to add that
to Mr. Liningor Omaha is largely in
debted for the success of her rccont ex
position , of which he was the superin
tendent , lie gave up six weeks of his
valuable time , free of cost , and labored
night and day to make the exposition
worthy of the name.
If elected to the senate , as ho doubtless
will bo , Mr. Liumgor will bo the peer of
any man who will hold a seat in that body.
Mil. S.N"Ktr. , who misrepresented Jeffer
son and Thavor counties in the last legis
lature , is up again' ' for rc-nommat'on.
Mr. Sncll was one of ctha republicans
elected on anti-monbpoly pledges which
were no sooner malfo tljan broken. Ho
introduced sovcraUniphjctlcable railroad
bills , which ho knc\y could not pass , anil
finally was a warm supporter of the rail
road commission fraud.1 * ) Mr. Snell ought
to he loft at home. " Jl

Ford as his right bdwer , , is already hard
at work to rally tiro.pacjdng'house forces ,
They boast that Jthgjrv will crush the
Charley Brown oufli.tan'thc coming prim
aries and teach them liow'to submit and
behave in the future. There's ) music in
the air all along the line , and don't you
forget it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
THE "Dolphin" now belongs to the
navy. Secretary Whitney has made the
last payment of $20,000 in settlement.of
John Roach's claim of $15,000. Having
saved $33,000 by the transaction Mr.
Whitney feels that he is square with the
veteran ship-builder whom ho has bank
rupted for the sake of gaining a tem
porary notoriety as an economist.
TIIKKB is wailing and gnashing of
tooth among the boodle loaders who took
the contract to deliver Douglas county
over to Church Howe and the enemies of
Senator Van Wyck. Republicans who
have party success at heart are satisfied
with the situation.
THE next great political act in Douglas
will bo the attempt of "Hiz/.onor" Mayor
Bo.yd to mop the lloor with the Brown
brigade. Pat Ford says it can bo dona

"War isnn I'lomentiptheGod-ordnlncd
order of the world. " it was Count
Moltko who wrote these words to Prof.
Bluntsehli.anciit . the bit tor's invitation to
participate in tlio international peace
congress at ( jcnura in 1872. In America
or Kugland , where the love of war for
war's Bttko is rapidly vanishing , it is
hardly possible that one should conceive
fully the Gorman idea of war the idea
of a ] ) cole | ) educated , yet combative ; ad
vanced iii many directions of thought ,
yet left fr.r behind in one of the most es
sentially civilizing- The army is the
pride of the nation. For it thu people
sulfor an almost unbearable burden of
taxation , and not that this military spirit
depresses their culture and keeps their
manners rude and boorish. Military
rigor is enforced in the school-room , and
the questioning spirit of military obedi
ence bids fair to quench all individuality
of character. No wonder that above all
others Count Moltko is worshiped , forte
to him mainly is dun the cuicicnt state of
the army and its brilliant victories. The
career of tins great military genius is
uniiiuc iu one respect there is , perhaps ,
in all history no other man who rose .so
high and yet had attained his (18th ( year
without attracting tne notice of the
world. It was not till after Sadowa that
the name of the "Groat Taciturn" be
came famous as a household word over
the entire globe.
Retiring as the man , is his home in
Silesia , Of the great soldier's peaceful
.surroundings a correspondent of the
Jsorddeutsohe Allemcino/citung recently
gave an interesting description. Two
hours ease of Schcwcidnitz is the quito
hamlet of ICrcisau , ho says. Twenty
years ago the name of it was not known
in wider circles. Only after the wars of
1SUO and 1870 had created a powerful ,
united Germany became Kreisau , like
Varan , through its owner , far-famed.
Here , in rural quietness , Field Marshal
Count von Mollke has created a tuscula-
nuin , whore he rests iroin his arduous
labors for a few months of every year.
"
Gathering new strength for his work" and
perhaps shaping plans for anothergigan-
tic campaign , lie keous company only
with his nephe > v and a few of the lords of
manor in the vicinity. It is rarely that a
traveler comes to Kreisau , for it is far oli'
the great routes of the public traveleven
far otl'the ordinary couutryroad. Count
Moltke's homo is not , a proud , feudal cas
tle. It looks more like a plain , unpreten
tious seat , mellowed by ago , of an Eng
lish country gentreman than the abode
of n man whoso present rank is but a
creation of a few years back. It is a sim
ple , square structure , one-storied , with
high gables. Broad , iron-bound stairs
lead to the portal over which
the coat-of-arms of the von
Drosky the former owners looks
proudly down upon those who enter.
Count Moltko bought this pleasant coun
try seat \\ith money from the donation
which a grateful country made him after
the Austro-Prussian war. The entail ,
which was granted in ' 08 by the then
King William , comprises Kreisau , Nicd-
orgraouitz and \Viorisshau. Moltkc
loved this quiet home from the time ho
first saw it , and so ttid the countess. Sha
died after a few months and was laid to
rest on a little promontory in the magni
ficent park whore the count built a mau-
soiem over the nioinul of the partner of
his days. Outwardly stofn though he
seems , Moltko has a warm and tender
heart. Of this his undying affection for
Ins wife is a proof , while innumerable
stories of unobtrusive , thoughtful acts of
kindness to friends and perfect stramrers
still further testify to his amiable dispo
sition. Strange that a man with so gentle -
tlo a spirit , so loving a nature , should bo
utterly devoted to a profession so cruel
and ferocious , regarding it not merely
as a sad temporary necessity , but as a
divinely appointed institution.
There is a stone bench near ttie mauso
leum , almost hidden by the boughs of
trees and the foliage of dense shrubbery.
Ilcro Count Moltko remains alone for
hours , looking thoughtfully into the wide
iilain which stretches below to the far-olT
Silcsinn mountains.
Count Moltko's wedlock was childless ,
and his nephew , William von Moltkc , a
captain on thu general' stall' , is a heir to
the estate and to the title. A younger
brother of the captain lives at ICroisau ,
and attends to the management of the es
tate. Ho receives the rare visitors cordi
ally and makes the most amiable guide
through the wide halls and spacious
rooms at Kreisau. To both sides of the
. - tone stairway which leads into the hall
rest mighty cannon trophies from
Mount Talariou , the great Parisian bul
wark , which the emperor presented to
the count. The silent weapons of war
are of bron/.o and covered with roliofs ,
and finely chiseled ornaments. They
boar the three lilies of the royal bourbons ,
but the inscriptions wore destroyed by
howlinir sans culottes long before the
mementoes of a great past came to Km-
sail.

mngnilicont equestrian statues , cast in
bronze and placed on mighty pedestals ,
greet us. The one in the centre repre
sents Kmperor William in military cloak
and holniot. It is a present of the
cmpororanonttho sixtieth aniversary of
the military career of the count. To the
right is a masterly copy of Hanch's great
monument of Frederick the Great in Ber-
lin. Tliu third is the equestrian statue of
Moltko himself a present from the
oilcurs ! of the general stall' . Heavy oaken
doors load into the sitting-rooms of the
building. They are plain almost to ex
cess , and exemplify more than anything
else the si in ill a character of the count.
In the library wo Jind the plain , Iron

At Kreisau , Count Moltko relaxes a lit-
lie the iron rules of Ins dally routine life.
He Invi-s hi.s little farm back of tin-
manor house , and he spends hi.s moral nu
hours in supervising his laborers. Thru

he musters as strictly as if the young sap
lings were a regiment of recruits , lie
prunes weakly or dead branch/ ! with his
own hand. It is oneof the silent soldiers
most prominent characteristics that hit
hates all that is incompetent , all that H
nnlltted to its task and purpose , The
outer aspect of the man is true to hi.s
character. Spare , tall , upright , his figure
is not bent by the burden of four-scon *
years ; one sees at a glance that this man
is born to command. The man that had
inscribed over the tomb of his departed
wife "Lovo is the fulfillment of the law"
is the ideal impersonation of a German
olllcer reticent , tinquestionahlv devoted
to his sovereign , narrow-visioued in his
patriotism , wanting in imagination , self-
negating , of stern , unbending , unolastio
devotion to his profession and Its duties.

A. Now Kalian Vessel.
A correspondent writes from Naples ,
under date of August 25 : "Tho princi
pal event of the week has been the launch
of the Tripoli from the government
yards at Castcllamaro. She is not one of
those monster vessels which have been
built at Custcllaniaro , but is ono of a
class of four vessels now in course of
construction , corresponding as nearly as
possible to the new typo of fighting ves
sels , to the larger of which they will be
powerful auxiliaries. The 'Iripoh is
seventy motors in length , and seven and
seven and eighty-eight meters in breadth.
She will bo provided with six boilers , ai d
it is calculated will make eighteen miles
an hour. As usual , the launch was a per
fect success , thousands of visitors were
present , and , besides crowds from Na
ples , Sorrento anil other places of villo-
giatura were emptied for the occasion.

persons of distinction wont over by the

Restoration of the HiiHtllo.
The bastilo is going to bo restored. Ono
of the sighta of the Paris exhibition , in
celebrating the centenary of the revolu

house and place of amusement , la to bo
ntili/cd for an exhibition "do luthorlo. "
This has nothing to do with Luther , but
means that all the musical instruments
of the present time will bo exhibited in
the temple ; concerts will bo given oc
casionally from the music of the old mas
ters , such as Grotry and Meliul. It Is
said Unit the organizers of the exhibition
are on the lookout for souvenirs of the
revolution. They are after Marat's Imth ,
which was recently sold by a Drcton euro
for several thousand trancs. They will
probably also try to got the original guil
lotine , it it was not it which the com
munists burned , or hunt up thu red cap
of liberty which Louis were when 1m put
