Mor gan, a prominent attorney and business man of Chicago, was injured by an automobile in his home city from which he died a few hours later. Mr. Morgan had gone for a walk and was on his way home when the accident occurred. Always a believer in insurance Mr, Morgan ten years ago purchased an accident policy in the General Accident Immediately upon being notified of the death of Mr. Mor gan, the Chicago representatives of the GENERAL had the necessary proofs completed and handed the beneficiary a draft for Fifteen Thousand Dollars The GENERAL does not arrogate to itself any special praise for having handled this loss so expeditiously. It is the kind of service that makes accident Insurance practical, . We are demonstrating that fact in this city every day. Isaac Miller, Genl Agt.

It la true, hut highly appreciated. Victoria had to assist In this char itable enterprise, and did so with good grace, for everybody's uyoe wore upon her; but when, at last, tho children were dismissed, sho ran to her apartments in hot haste, ami, calling her matd. orled: "Off \rIfJU this dress, quick, Fm afrnkl I smell of poor people!** The expression of disgust was In bad taste, and exceedingly Impolitlo besides, for Victoria's attendant be longed to the royal household and forthwith blabbed about the Incident In tho "flunkies' own." And so it came to her mother-in law's ears, and the same things be gan happening at tho palace that happen at Mrs. Brown's or Mrs. Jones' house on the avenue or tho boulevard. As a consequence the young princess was warned to mend her ways toward Her Imperial Highness. She refused to do so; she would rather make a Brockdorff her friend and invite a Walflersee to be her governess, than submit to the higher intellect of her husband's parents. At all times Auguste Victoria nev er loved, somotimes fought, and al ways feared her mother-in-law. There are people who assert that the similarity of their characters was one of tho chief reasons for the strained relations between Kai serin Frederick and her son. Both were too pig-headed, too prejudiced, too much wedded to the "no sur render" policy, to come to an un derstanding. "Knowing both her husband's and her mother-in-law's weaknesses, Auguste Victoria ought to have in termediated, or, that failing ought to have done her part toward bring ing about and preserving amicablo relations. But she did nothing of the kind. In those awful days of Junfc, 1888, when the new Kaiser, attended by the madman Normann, exploited his cruel egotism at his father's death bed, when he made his mother and sisters prisoners of state until his ERUPTIONS GO, SO* WELL DOES POSLAM HEAL If It's Eczema, yon need Poslam.

Cvea as she displayed none when her husband ordered outrages upew fito woman and children of Belgium, Northern France and the eastern countries and when his representa tives hi Turkey winked at tho kJll • tng of a million Christians and tho I crucifixion of hundreds of girls and i buMce. The Baroness continues her story. Savagery hi the House of the Bead If ever wife and mother ought to have stood up for another wife and mother; if ever woman ought to have thrown the halo of womanly love around another, —that was the time! What did Augusta Victoria do? Sbe said she would come to fl"r 1 edrlchekroa as soon as her crepe gown was ready. Meanwhile, William had deolared the property rights of all the people in the palace-—his palace—forfeited for the Utno be Ins; as the feudal lord of old'seizod & bondsman's per sonal estate while the body was yet warm, so had the presence of death —a tether's vuen face—no re straining influence over tho now master. The late Emperor's, his wife's and daughter's writing-desk.3, their strong boxos, trinket-boxes, bedrooms, and boudoirs, were sub jected to a rigid examination before the owners were allowed access Kgos,, And In Che midst of the rumpus a four-horse coach brought the new Empress! Kaisaxta Frederick had no pa tience to hear Auguste Victoria de claim. "Send EroeUdorft away," she said, curtly. And then the proud old woman unbent enough to ask, nay, lmpioro, her daughter-in-law to stop William's ravings. 'T?y all that is holy to vou," she la said to have exclaimed, "stop that man from desecrating my home and my aoblo dead. I have appealed to his iovo, to his sense of decency, to his manliness. It Is your turn now. Talk to him with the author ity of a wife and mother. He must listen to you. And unless yon ex pect to be treated by your sons as I have been treated by my son during tho last two hours, —restrain him, re-establish me as mistress within my own walls, and I will be forever grateful to you." Auguste Victoria went into the library, and returned after a few moments, her face flushed and trembling. "I can do nothing." she faltered out; " 'WTlllof is here as Emperor, and I cannot Interfere with his offi cial business." Empress Frederick Chases Away Empress Auguste Victoria "Then have tho goodness to go back to your Marble Palace and play with your children." cried tho wid owed Empress hotly. And the hostilities were reopened. In the interval occasioned by the new Kaiserin's reception, William had In formed his mother's officials and servants that he was their master now and that they must obey no one's orders but his own. Thereupon the old Empress; "Whoever refuses to carry out any of my commands promptly and will ingly, will be instantly dismissed and forfeits his rights to pension." i Victoria had furnished her Court marshal with a list of persons who were to be admitted to the house in "order that they might have a last look at her dead hero. Frederick's personal and political friends were on the list, but William tore It up. Have ever such scenes occurred In tho presence of death? The new | lord's "drill-ground tenor" cutting short tho impassioned speech of an outraged wifo end distracted moth er! Entreaties, appeals, threats, on tho one side; cold Indifference, scorn, sneering references to "facts" on the other.' There was no peace betweon the reigning Hohenzollerns and tho proud mother, shorn of power, thereafter. A resemblance of fa miliar intercourse was kept up as long as the Empress Auguste lived, but after hfer death the Kaiser's en mity to his mother became a mat ter of political significance. German statesmen trimmed their aoils ac-. cording to Its fluctuations. Tho Empress Frederick and Au gnsto Victoria had one more mo mentous meeting when the nogotia tions for tho Dowager Kaiserin's re moval from C'astlo Fried rlcbhkron | were pending. Tho older woman strenuously op posed her son's claims to the prop erty. first because she herself de sired to retain the house whore she j had lived so long, and, second, be causo she feared William would ruin himself in the possession of tills cas tle, whose vastness and splendor of fer particular temptations for estab lishing a Court out of all propor tions to the Kaiser's revenues. How ever, the "Augustcnburgor" would not see it In that light. She was as eag£r to branch out a la Versailles | as her husband. After three months of widowhood, Empress Frederick left Friedrlchs kron. Sho was crying bitterly as she went through the park amd haJls, taking leave of everything and every body. "Flare I have spent the most beau tiful days of my married life, and afterward endured the awfulleet hours woman can endure," she re marked to General von Llndequlst, then commander of Potsdam. To the officials and servants, each of whom, sho shook by tho hand, she said; "If you ever want to sec your old mistress again, yen must come to Berlin, where I will make you welcome with pleasure. May palsy strike my foot If ever I thrust it, over this threshold again." Empress Frederick a Good Hater As was to be expected from a wo man of her character, she kept her word. Occasional quasi enforced vis its between their Majesties and Em press Frederick took place on neu tral ground The Dowager Kaisorin received her son and daughtor-in law In the manor-house of tho farm BoißOtadt, a mllo or so from the Nones P;ilnis, and next day they re paired to tho Marblo Palace or Stadt Sob loss to give Her Majesty an op portunity to return tho compliment Empress Frederick was vory sel dom In Berlin, and had always an excuse ready for declining invlta i tlons to official or private festivities hold at her son's Court. Even when she lived Under den Linden at Christmas time, she deollned the pleasure of seeing the children. After tho eoencs at Frederick's death-bed, she had been driven forth from her home, and this Insult tob quickly followed by another, aimed at her dead husband.^ ' After William and Auguste Vic toria took possession of Friedrlchk ki-on, this nam® was abolished by royal decree and the old, now mean ingless Noues Palais reinstated.

The Kaiser's menage never al lowed butter for second bneafifast. Now it happened that the servants transferred from Empress Strcdor ick's Court to that of WllllWm, were among the first to petition for redress. Ergo, the cry of Itynpress Frederick's enemies, that "the Britisher" was at tho bottom* of the quarrels," said tho Dowager Kaiser revolt. "I knew nothing about th.fcui petty quarrels," said the Dowager Kaiser in, some time afterward, ts Count- Wilhelm Hohenau, "bist I cer tainly think that this latest make shift was most disgraceful.

Though the strong-minded English woman was noted for **r outspoken criticisms, this remark, slimed di rectly at Auguste Victoria and coin ing to her ears in the quickest pos sible way, created first consternation and later on a demand for reprisals.
