It is Just a few days ever tfaree months
since Froderlck III became the emperor of
Germany. Emperor William died en
Friday morning, March 0. Tbe Crown
Prince Frederlek Wllhelm Nicholas Karl
ascended the tbrone and was crowned as
Frederick III. He was the only son of the
late Emperor William, and was In tbe
ilfty-tsevanttLyear of his age, having been
born en tbe ISth or October, 1S31. At the
ge of seventeen be was sent te the Unl.
versify of Benn, and at the conclusion
of tbe unlverBlty course was recalled te
Berlin and entered tbe army as a pri
vate, according te tbe universal custom in
Prussia, te pursue his military studies.
After a short service In the ranks be re re
eelvsd command of company, indfrem
this gradually rose te tbe grade or general
field marshal. On tbe 25th et January, 1853,
be waa married at Londen te Vieteria,
prince royal of Great Britain, the eldest
ehlld of Queen Vloterl. By ber be baa bad
aevn children,-three sons and four daugh
ters, Ttae acquaintance between tbe reyil
couple began In tbe summer et 1857, wb n
the latter paid a vl.lt te the royal family of
England. Queen Vieteria has related In
ber "Diary" tbe atery of bis royal love;
hew, daring an excursion te the Highland',
tbe princely hearts came te an understand
ing, and bow tbe royal parent wished te
postpone tbe premised marriage for a while,
"beeanae Vicky waa still e young I"
Nevertheless, the marriage took place en
the 25th or January of tbe following year.
Tbe marriage waa celebrated in tbe Chapel
Royal, at Londen. The Prince of Wale a
and the Dnke or Edinburgh was present In
Highland oeatumo. Tbe crown prince

The wedding was cele- i
brated by state concerts and brilliant
Illuminations, and a week later the bride
bade farewell te .ber parents and embarked
at Gravesend with ber husband for their
German home.
Tbe prince began bis prominent military
career in tbe Schlnawlg Helsteln war a a
lieutenant-general and commander et the
Second army corp. Although he was net
engaged In actual fighting during the cam
paign In which Denmark waa despoiled,
he cheerfully shared In all the hardships
suffered by bis troops during that winter
campaign, and achieved, in oensequence, a
great popularity with tbe army and ac
quired tbe reputatien or being an accom
plished soldier. At the outbreak et tbe
war with Austria, In 1800, be waa placed In
command or the army et the Oder, and, In
oencort wltb the army commanded by
Prince Froderlek Charles.hls cousin, moved
en converging reads te Sadewa. Hemarebed
his army with celerity, and arrived en tbe
battle field while the engagement was
at Its height, en tbe 3d et July. Promptly
throwing bis columns Inte action, be struck
the Austrian flank and com polled tbe en
tire army te retreat In disorder. Tbe vic
tory gave him a military reputation second
only te that of Prince Frederick Charier,
wbete army was skilfully bandied and
bore tbe brunt or the battle throughout the
day. In this campaign his chief of stall
wai Majer General von Blumenthal, and
he bad under bis orders three army corp,
tbe army ltself being composed of about
125.000 men.
The prince held one or tbe chief com
mands in the war of 1870-71 against France,
and fully maintained bis high reputation
aa a soldier. Tbe clese et July, 1870, found
him en the .Rhine frontier, In com
mand of tte 31 German army, com cem
prising the 5th, Ctb, and 11th North
German corps, the 1st and 21 Bava
rian corps, and the division furnished by
Baden, Wurtemberg, and Hesse, In all
about 200,000 men and 500 guns. On tbe
4th or August he vigorously attacked tbe
position held at Welssenburg by tbat por
tion of Marshal MaoMaben'H corps wblcb
was commanded by General Abel Douay.
Tbe French were repulsed and dlspeistd
sfter a severe struggle. Following up this
Important victory, he attacked en the fith
the united army corps of General MacMa MacMa
ben, Fallly and Canrobert, drawn up In
position at Woerlb. MaoMaben bad under
him 50,000 men in all, and occupied
a strene defensive position en the elopes
et the Vesgea. Tbe crown prince arrived
from WelBienberg en the evening of
the 5th with an army et 130,000 men, and
rgan tbe attack at 7 tbe next morning. Tbe
Frere'i lice was turned at two points, and
tbelr left and contre broken, notwithstand
ing a desperate charge of cavalry, whleh
waa ordered by MacMahen as a last roert.
At the memorable engagement c e ir Se Jan
(September J) bis troops and tbose ef
Prtnee Frederick Charles were engaged
against tbe greater part et MaoMahen's
forces, and the Germans succeeded In
crossing the rtver Meuse, this extremely
difficult operation being effected by tbe
crown prince with his Prussian and Wur
tembergera supported by tbe Bavarians
under General veu der Tann. He next
made bla way tewartla Pails, entered Ver
sailles September 28, cemmenced te threw
additional troops around tbe capital and re
matned In the vicinity of tbe Invested city
until after the conclusion or peace. On Oc
tober 2S he was created a field marshal et
Prussia, and en November 8 a Kusslan
field marshal. Ill promotion te the rank
or held marshal was announced In the fel
lowing characteristic telegram te tbe em
press then Queen Augusta:
"Vkksaillrs, Ojl 29, 1870. The de
feat of tbe two armies which rocently
marched against us, warrants me In confer
ring upon our two commanders, Fritz and
Frederick Uharlea, tbe batons of Held mar
shalthe tint Instances or each appoint
ments in our family history. William,"
After the close of tbe war with France
tbe prince led a comparatively uneventful
life, and did net figure conspicuously
before the world until he waa stricken wltb
tbe terrible malady whleh brought him te
death. He began te sutler from catarrh
and boareeness In January et last year, and
at tbe beginning or March a morbid growth
was discovered en tbe lelt vocal cord. In
the middle or April be was ordered te
Ems wbere he took the watera for a month,
and then returned te Berlin no better,
Tbe growth in his threat was at that tlme
found te bave increased In size. The
German doctors who were called In con
sultation all agreed tbat tbe growth
was caneer, but before performing
any operation for Its removal advised tbat
Dr. Merell Mackenzie, of Londen, be sum
moned. Tbe latter took charee et tbe pa-
tlent en May 19, and en tbe following day
removed a portion of the growth, a second
operation being performed en June 7.
Frem tbat day te this the actual ntUure of
the malady has been In dispute batweeu
the doctors, and It has net yet been oor eor oer
talnly determined whether the ailment Is
of a cancerous nature or net. On June 13
tbe royal patient arrived In England, wbere
he remtlned under the entire charge of Dr.
Mackenzie until September 3. As a Ben-ln-la
w or Queen Victeria be took a conspleuous
part In the ceremonials and proeesitlons
connected wltb tbe celebration of the
tatter's jubilee. Towards tbe cloee of June
Dr. Macken zle perf ormed another operation
upon bis threat, and again, en August 4,
removed another portion of the growth in
the threat On tbe lOUi el August he ar
rived In Edlnburg, with the view of trying
tbe bracing air of Scotland. He flnallv left
for the continent ou September 3, and after
a visit te Berlin and a tour through Tyrel,
settled down early in November, at San
Reme, en theltlvlera, wbere be remained
and wbere he submitted te the operation of
tracheotomy rn tbe 9th of February. Tbe
recent progress of bla malady baa been be
fully reported from day te day tbat no do de
tails are necessary In this connection. He
remained at San Reme until summoned te
Berlin by bis father's death. His brief
career of emperor Is known te the public.
Emperor Frederlek was a man or com
manding presence. A correspondent once
wrote or blm :
When seen en horseback, at tbe beid
eta brilliant stall be can well be compared
te Mars, tbe god of war. 'Unser Fritz' Is
certainly a magnificent specimen el tbe
German soldier. He bat net only been
popular In tbe army, but baa been a social
favorite In Berlin, wbere be bas made it a
rule te mix wltb all tbe upper clrclea.ne

men of letter, savants and artists, even his
political enemies being welcome. Bis wire

In all its branches, and la herself a geed

in the creation of these museum, lad ustrlal
schools and literary secletlea that are doing
such excellent work in Germany, The
new sovereign have heretofore resided
sometimes at Potsdam and sometimes In
the 'Kronprlnzllehe Palest,' a house whleh
land next te tbe Imperial one In 'Unter
den Iilnden.' It la much larger than the
mansion occupied by the late Kmparer
Wllhelm, and it la fllied with objeeta of art
or all sort, while the oelleotton of both old
and modern paintings la among tbe first in
Berlin. The gems of these galleries were
peiaenally selected by the English prineesa.
11 All the HehenKllerns are put te learn
a trade In their boyhood, and the new em
peror learned te be a cabinetmaker. Ha
baa also displayed fair ability aa a writer.
Aa long age as tbe fall or 167G be made bis
appearance as an antber In a modest sort of
way, by printing a little book entitled "My
Journey te the Orient," containing an ac
count of what be aaw and beard when be
went te Egypt en tbe occasion of the formal
opening or the Sner. canal. Tbe volume, of
wbleb only rerty copies were printed, waa
In quarto form, containing 163 pages. Tbe
ceptea were presented, with the prlnee'a
autograph, te his personal friend. Last
November It waa announced that a Berlin
Cubllsher was about te Issue another work
y him entitled " Jagden und Beobaobtun Beebaobtun Beobaebtun

notice of Ita appearanee baa been made.

Frederick William Albert Viator,

January 27, 1S59. He was educated at Gas
sol and at Benn, and while net a particular
bright young man he has ahewn some mil
itary aptitude. Unlike bis rather, he la a
Hohenzollern type,and he Is entirely Prus
sian In his military training and political
views. In appearance, tee, be Is his fath
er's opposite, Though In his thirtieth vear
he does net leek mere, than his twenty.

mirers that he resemblea the sreat Fred

be is deformed, bis left arm being withered
alnce bis birth and nearly useless, a defeet
wbleb be alwaya tries te doneeal. He has
been moreover sulfated wlthabsctsKs In

overbearing temper.
In 1881, when be was only twenty-two
years old, he married the Prineesa Victeria,
of Sehleswig Helsteln-Augustenburg, who
was born May 3, 1EG0. Four children have

Previous te his twenty-seventh birthday,
when he waa made a major general, Prlnee
William ranked only as oelonol of the

he ranked only as a msjer and people In

The aeventeen-year locust, the cicada
aeptendeelm of the scientists, is beginning
te make Ita appearanee In some parte of the
Pequea valley. Farmers at plowing or hoe hee
lng them up In the fletd,and the probability
la tbey will seen cover tbe tree and bushes
In Immense number. It la a little tee
early yet for their appearanee,the last week
in June or the first In July being tbelr
season for coming te the earth's surface
alter tbelr seventeen yeara el subterranean
existence.
Ne doubt some or the elder Inhabitant
will remember when tbe locust visited
tbe Pequea seventeen yeara age. Prof,
Riley, a noted scientist In the employ et
tbe Uelted States governmenr, several
yeara age predated that the locusts would
appear thla year In the Pequea region.
Almest everybody remembers the swarms
of them that appeared In Lancaster and
Yerk oeuntlea In 1S85. It la a well-known
fact that the aeventeen-year locust appear
In different sections In dlirorent yeara. Dr.
S. 8. Rath von -remem bera tbelr appear appear
ance in Holism township in 1817, when be
waa a small boy, and subsequently In
1834, 1851, 1SC8 and 1885. These were in
entirely dlstlnet breed from the Pequea
locust, though It occasionally bappena that
the two breeds overlap In the torrltery oc
cupied by them, and bence appear (tWca In
seventeen years ; but Ibis is only an acci
dent, a portion of the breed having ever
stepped Its territory, and thus apparently
come up at the wrong tlme, but everyone
of tbem had tbelr aevoutuen year under
ground,
It bas been noted tbat there are two va va
reolic of these locusts, a larger and smsller
variety. The smaller variety la very dark,
nearly blaek, and has very fine wing trac
ings ; the larger variety is of a lighter
brown color.
Our friends along the Pequea will be ren
dering a aervice te aolenee It tbey will cap
ture specimens el tbe locust and forward
them te Dr. S. S. Rath von, 500 North Queen
street. Tbey should be captured alive, and
sent In small paper boxes, or wldomeuthod
bottle, unoerked, and with a plece of thin
muslin or mesquite bar tled ever the mcutti
of the bottle
There have been la times past a gecd
many ateriea circulated tbat poraena hid
been alung by the seventeen-year locusts.
Dr. Ralhven tells na there Is net upon
record one well authenticated rase or a
person being stung by a locust. Tbey may
be gathered by tbe handful, and bandied
with impunity. Tbey are perfectty barm

Eds, iNTHi.MOKNCKn The writer waa
mueh aurprlaed at reading In your paper el
last evenlng the report of the chairman el
tbe railroad committee of the Lancaster
Beard el Trade en the propeaed Safe Har Har
eor railroad. The understanding the rartle
Interested In thla matter bad wltb tbe rail
road committee waa that the coat et the
right of way rer tbe propeaed railroad waa
Urat te be ascertained before report en I he
enterprise waa made te the Beard et Trade,
And no Intimation whatever waa given te
tbe paitlea working en tbe matter of right
of way, tbat the railroad oemmttteo would
report te the Beard et Trade en tbe pro
posed railroad until the work et aeeurlng
the right et way bad been oempletod and
the coat ascertained. Regarding the change
of route, aa suggested by the chairman of
tbe railroad committee, I would eay tbat It
would Involve the expense of building a
longer line or railroad, alae mueh greater
expense en right et way than It the line
were built en the present survey.
A a te the station at the Safe Harber end
of propeaed railroad, I would say tbat when
tbe proper tlme oemoa te take up matters
of this kind, I think tbey can be satisfac
torily arranged without mueh trouble.
Net wishing te occupy tee mueh of your
valuable space, I would merely eay tbat
when a leglllmate enterprise like the above
railroad, la submitted te a committee of the
Beard or Trade ; an enterprise whleh la
admitted by all parties who have taken the
trouble te investigate the matter thoroughly,
would net only pay a fair Interest en tbe
Investment, but would also be of great bene
fit te tbe business Interests of Lancaster
city and county ) In our opinion If tbe com
mittee, for reasons or their own, de net aee
lit te onderso the entorprlse, they might at

The Trenlile That la Canted by Parsons Strik
ing Alarms Improperly,
Fire alarms have been numerous tbia
week, bat none of the Area which caused
them have been destructive. Shortly be.
fore nine o'elock last evening there waa an
alarm arlulng from a slight fire In the
building In the aeuthern part of tbe city
Whleh waa formerly occupied by the Miller
Seap oempany,but la new used as a planing
mill by S. J. Martin, Over tbe
boiler there la a frame ahed, and In
this tbe Ore waa discovered by Harry Sbaub,
who la engineer of company Ne. 2 and la
employed at the Laneaater gaa work. The
fire waa extinguished with buckets ef
water, after considerable of a bole had been
burned In the reef. The tire likely started
from a spark from the furnace under tbe
boiler.
Frem the manner in which the alarm
waa atruek last night It was dlllleult for tbe
department or any one else te locate tbe
fire. Tbe alarm waa aent from box 50, at
Hazsl and Prlnee street, and the man who
atruek it pulled down tbe lever In the box
no teaa than three tlmea In ranld succession.
This mixed up the alarm ae tbat no one
could tell where the Are waa and It caused
mueh trouble. Everalnce Lancaster adepted
tbe eall system tbe chief engineer , firemen
and newspaper bave been trying te In-
atruet the people bow te atrlke lire alarm,
but it aeema that they de net have tbe idea
yet The right way te atrlke a Are alarm
la te pull down the lever te the left and let
It go, Tbe right number will then be atruck,
and If that la net sufficient te give tbe
alarm the lever ean again be pulled after
It baa stepped atrlk lng. It ta net noeeaaary
te pull tbe lever up anddewn llke the han
dle et a pump, as that only aorvea te make
trouble. There are several new boxes In
the contre of tbe elty and these are the only
enea that cinnet be interfered with by con
tinued pulling. This la a very Important
matter te clttzena as well as firemen, and
persons holding keys might with profit
atudy hew te atrlke an alarm oerreotly,
