Just by the greatest luck, about two weeks ago. Kate sent me a check for SI,OOO, and I had It cashed, so that 1 am unusually lucky, having about 2.000 rubles in the embassy, part of which I have had to lend to the other secretaries whose money gave out entirely. Ph. D. at Stenography "Then all prices have gone up enor mously with the war and many people are wholly dependent on charity—for instance, this morning a man and lady came in to know what to do; they have exactly sls between themselves and nothing at all; and they're not the only ones; there are any number of people in exactly the same situation. In the room next to me is an Ameri can. a professor of philosophy, who, having sold all his baggage and clothes, is working in a shirt and pair of trousers, a pair of shoes and an overcoat, at some stenography which we want done—we gave him the work in order that he might earn a little money. Of course, $2,000,000 has been appropriated by Congress to help the Americans in Europe, but until some of it arrives here many of them are in a very bad way. 1 lend what I can, but as I shall have to stay on here during the war, and as the $2,000,000 is not meant to help such as I am, 1 can't afford to lose much money, for 1 don't know how long it will be before 1 can get any more. Vntler the Only Eagle "About a week ago the German ambassador left here in greatest pos sible hurry. He and his wife took with j them only the clothes necessary for the journey, leaving everything else j behind in the embassy, and Wilson | gave them an American flag to go out, under. They put it at the mast of the I ship which look them away ami as far as we know they reached Germany safely. When they left they handed over all the German interests to l>e looked after by us. and three daya ago when the Austrians left the Austrian interests were put on us also. Wo protested as strongly as we could to the department, but it did no good, and so now we have the double thank less task on our hands of caring for all tho Germans and Austrians in Russia. There are 18,000 Germans in Petersburg alone and several thousand Austrians. so you can Imagine what a 4 work It is which makes us unpopular with the Russians and for which we don't even get as much as "thank you" from the German and Austrian gov ernment. Tilko Ships that Pass In tho Night "The troubles of the 200 Americans aro as nothing compared to tho troubles of the Germans and Austrians —there are over 500 Germans here that we know of that haven't one penny and are dependent entirely on charity here, for their food. Then tho Russian government is arresting all Germans and Austrians who are liabel to mili tary service, and yesterday wo had 120 telegrams from frantic relations in Germans and Austria asking where their male relations are who have been arrested. What makes it very difficult is that when the Russians arrest them they don't let us know what becomes of them —the majority are being sent to out-of-the-way towns in Siberia to be held until the war is over. But two policemen arrive and arrest a man ana then as far as his relations and friends can see he just vanishes. This is par ticularly hard In the cases of tourists where a husband is suddenly taken from the hotei and the wife doesn't know what becomes of him except that he is gone. Then they come to us In a frantic state and we have to do what we can. As Sherman Said It "We have hired four extra men in the embassy, as the whole pla£e is overrun all day long with hundreds of people In distress. I've never hefore come face to face with what war I Prepare Against! I War Tomorrow! §1 CI To-morrow is September 15 on which day the country will declare war go against the straw hat. The good old straw lid, kelly, dicer, bonnet, sky-piece, chapeau, tile, headgear or whatever you feel inclined to call it, is doomed. c® C| It matters not how faithfully it has served you in protection from the heat of summer sun or the rigor of drenching rain—it may have stuck to you like a So brother for weeks, aye months; it may have grown sere and yellow in your ser- vice—but it's got to go—in time of war kind deeds are forgotten. d Count not upon the manner of its going either, if you have the temerity to 6S r§? wear it after to-morrow. For, mark you, the Anti-Straw Lid Klan has been organized in many cities for the purpose of carrying on the siege. Not only will fg> the old straw lid be frowned upon severely, but it will be jammed, smashed, Kg broken, torn asunder and mangled bv the cohorts of this Klan. Who knows, perhaps a branch of this ever-growing body may have secretly formed : n Har- risburg and have planned to do dire deeds here to-morrow. So Beware! Be- Kg ware, be circumspect and be advised. ffl Your allies against the foe arc the hat merchants of Harrisburg. Here they set forth to-day instructions as to how your neutrality may be maintained. £§] {§£ Arm yourself to-morrow with a derby or a soft hat —it is your only safeguard, M your only protection against the horrors of the straw hat war.

It was a terrible thing—| one evening last week. I can't re- I member exactly when, as everything | is a jumble in my mind, a big demon stration assembled in the square In front of the German embassy and be gan throwing stones at it in revenge for the Germans having pelted the Russian ambassador in Berlin with mud and having beaten the members of his suite. There were only about twenty or thirty policemen in the i square, who couldn't have done any thing against a crowd of several thou sand men even if they had wanted to. j As soon as the trouble started we tele- I phoned to the foreign office and asked | that a sufficient force of soldiers be sent to protect the building and they replied that everything was being done that could be done. Of course, they were just winking at the whole matter. When the crowd saw that they weren't Interfered with they broke in the doors and entered the building. The Hun at the Gute As the Pourtales had left everything in the embassy', even down to most of the countess' dresses and her jew- i elry, they had left two clerks, Ger-1 mans, to look after it all. and the younger of these clerks. Limbertz byl Attractive Team at Orpheum This Week j f|| They are Bronson and Baldwin, who arp offering one of the biggest suc cesses of the new vaudeville season with their sitit oX ggng, , name, told me afterward about it all. , After the mob entered the police threw , i off all pretense of restraining them i ; and joined in the work of destruction . as vigorously as anyone. When Llm i hertz saw the mob taking the lower ' i tloor and the courtyard he took refuge 1 in a little dining room ON the second j tloor, bolting the heavy wooden doors I .and hiding behind the portieres of the I • window. Th.- mob came up the stairs, i and found Kattner. the old elcrk. on I the second tloor and chased him up to ! the top of the house, where Limbertz heard him calling for help. After it | was all over Kattner was found with j one side of his head crushed in and ; two knife wounds In his body. The Mob Arrives "After that the mob found Lim bertz, threw him on the tloor, took everything of value from him. and then, as they couldn't get the rings I oft' his lingers someone took a knife to j I cut off his lingers. At that, he said, ! | his courage came back to him and, | seizing some heavy object which lay on the floor near him, beat the men ; off him and managed to escape down 1 a side stairway and into the Italian j embassy next door. The mob went I onto the roof of the Italian embassy and tore down the Hag. but did no fur ther damage, as the Italians had tilled i their courtyard with sacks of gun powder ready to throw at the mob if they tried to break into the building. After that there was a regular carnival of destruction in the German embassy. All the furniture and everything in tlamable was thrown out of the win dows into the square, where a bontire was made of them, and everything that remained was smashed to little pieces. I went the next day, after it was all over, and there was not one whole think In the building. They had even smashed the marble fireplaces and porcelain bathtubs, and the floor was strewn ankle deep with clothes, china hangings and everything ruined. The worst of it was that Count Pour | tales had a wonderful collection of I pictures, among which were ones by Rubens and Titian, and that day I saw them all over the floor, torn into little dance and patter. The girl is "cute" ! and clever, while her partner Is a j natty comedian and an eccentric I dancer.

They continue to arrest the Germans and the treatment of Russians In Ger many is something beyond belief. The Germans seem to have gone mad. lost all sense of civilization and to have become as barbarous as the Mexican Indians. The report is that they are treating American women and chil dren as horribly as they are Russian ones, but I don't know if that is so or not.
