Victoria Louise of Germany Has
Arrived at tho Marriage
able Age
THE KAISER'S ONLY DAUGHTER
She Is Over Seventeen Years Old, and
Already a Monarch and Two or
Three Princes Have Asked for Her
Hand In Marriage.
Berlin, Germany. Emperor Wil
liam's only daughter, "the little prin
cess" as she is affectionately styled
by relatives and the people, It is re
ported, is soon to have the weighty
responsibility of choosing a husband.
While "the little princess" is not a
beauty, there are several princes be
longing to Europe's most august royal
houses who would eagerly accept an
alliance with the little girl who Is the
apple of the mighty German emperor's
eye. The identity of the royal wooers
who have already laid marriage pro
posals before the kaiser has not been
revealed, but It Is known that one is
a monarch, another a Russian grand
duke, and- one an English prince.
The kaiser, while he wishes his
daughter to meet these suitors, has
declared that she shall not be hurried
Into marriage and that she shall have
as much freedom In choice as is com
patible with the dignity and Interests
of the Hohenrollern house.
Hitherto the princess has been lead
ing rather a retired life with her
books, her painting, her needlework
and, It must be added, her dolls. In
a few weeks she will blossom out as a
full-blown Hohenrollern princess.
Princess Victoria Louise Is an unas
suming young woman and reticent
What her opinions are no one knows,
unless it is her English companion.
The probability is that her opinions
are In an imperfect state of develop
ment. Her studies have not been re
markable for extent or variety.
She cares nothing for dress and is
utterly Indifferent to what she wears.
Her English companion seeks to in
still into her right views on this Im
portant point, but it is of no use.
Princess Victoria Louise of Germany.
Sometimes the princess goes to
breakfast in the shabbiest of old
skirts, put on anyhow, and resents It
if she is told to return to her room
and make herself less dowdy. She is
far younger than her English com
panion. She shows considerable in
terest in kindergarten work, in in
fants' homes and in the improving of
the condition of poor mothers with
niultiitudinous families of babies.
The princess has somewhat im
proved in looks lately and promises to
develop into a pleasant-looking Ger
man girl, without pretension to beau
ty, but with kindly, winning ways and
absolutely devoid of vanity. In fact,
her lack of dignity is a source of wor
ry to her English companion, and
more than once lately she has been
sharply taken to task for neglect of
the dignity of her position.
BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE.
Lad Fell Over 150-Foot Cliff, but was
Found to Have Escaped Death.
Jackson, Cal. Lying unconscious
In a coffin, Cecil Miller, a sixteen-year-old
boy, was drawn up a one
hundred and fifty foot cliff on the
bank of the Cosumnes River, near
Plymouth, on Sunday.
While hunting on the banks of the
river Miller stepped out on a large
rock, which suddenly gave way and
threw him down the bank to the wa
ter's edge. A companion ran to Ply
mouth, a distance of three miles, for.
assistance. Believing that Miller was
dead, a coffin was taken along by the
rescuers.
After much difficulty two men were
lowered with tho coffin over the bluff.
The boy was found alive, but terribly
Injured. He was placed in the coffin
and raised to the top of the bluff.
For Paying Salvage on Human Life.
Brussels. The International Con
gress of Maritime Law adopted, prac
tically unanimously, the provisions of
the proposed international convention
relating to collisions and salvage at
sea. One of the clauses provides for
the recovery of salvage upon human
life aa qrell as upon cargo.

Eugene Walters
Great Play J
That "Paid In Full" is a story
of absorbing interest has been
proved by its phenomenal suc
cess in dramatic form. For two
seasons there has been no dim
inution in the drawing power
of this vital piece of realism.
In its present form it is not less
engrossing. The features which
made it so powerful as a play
are not less potent in the serial.
It is the same keen exposition
of human motives put into the
simplest forms of expression.
There is no waste of material,
no attempt to moralize, no break
in the continuity. The three men
who are the central figures in
the story stand out in admirable
distinctness from the very first,
and the one woman whose splen
did rectitude illuminates it alt
lives from tho moment of hor
appearance. Although it is cer
tain to produce frequent thrills,
the story is neither melodra
matic nor sensational. Its power
lies in its humanness.
CHAPTER I.
N
0; I'll not give 'em a raise of 8
cents an hour nor of a cent
an hour; nary a raise, un
derstand. And I don't want
you to come hero thinking you can
bulldoze uic, because you'll find mighty
quick you're mistaken. If any man
thinks he can do that I want to see
him."
The words, uttered in a wrathful
bellow, came through the closed door
of the president's room and were
heard by every employee and visitor
In tho main ofilce of the Latin-American
Steamship company, which occu
pied an entire floor of a big building
In Bowling Green, New York city.
Some of the employees smiled and
passed the remark that the boss "had
'em bad" that day, but the smiles
were of the sickly, apprehensive order,
for the fact that he was in execrable
humor was perfectly -well known to
each and all, having been impressed
upon them very forcibly at intervals
from the minute the great man had
made his appearance with his unvary
ing punctuality as the clock struck 0
a. in. Others scowled and kept their
reflections to themselves.
The voices of the other parties to
the conversation were not audible to
the listeners, but that of the president,
with its all penetrating roar, burst
forth again:
"I don't give a tin whistle what you
or your unions do, understand. Let
'cm strike, strike and be d d. But
you tell 'em this from me that any
man who's fool enough to throw up
his job does so for good and all. He'll
never work again for tho Latin-American
Steamship company in this or any
other port. I'll take care of that. I'll
show 'em who and what I am if they
don't know."
The door opened, and two white
faced, intimidated men emerged, cap
in hand. They were rough looking
men, evidently laborers inured to tho
hardest kind of work. They shuffled
quickly past the neatly dressed clerks
and did not breathe freely until they
found themselves In the cross streams
of hurrying passersby on the street.
There, as they mopped their brows
and looked arouud for a saloon, some
thing of the arrogant insolence with
which they had demanded audience of
the head of the company and which
had been speedily cowed out of them
by that formidable and choleric per
sonage returned to them.
Meanwhile at the open door of tho
room in which they had been through
tho ordeal of their Interview Captain
Amos Williams, president and general
manager of the line, glared after his
departing visitors and round the of
ilce. There was dead 'silence, and ev
ery employee, from the highest to the
olllce boys, Impudent and irrepressible
there, as everywhere else, save when
Captain Williams was nigh, became
deeply engrossed in his work.
"Call up Mr. Smith and tell him I
want to see him at once," he growled
to no ono in particular. Then ho re
entered his room and slammed tho
floor.
In a few minutes, however, his bell
rang, and a boy responded to it with
nn alacrity not customary In any. other
ofilce in nil New York.
"Tell Mr. Brooks to come here," was
the order he received.
The boy hurried out and approached
one of the men behind the brass lat
tice screens.
"Mr. Brooks, tho captain wants you,"
he announced.
Mr. Brooks did not reply, but he got
down leisurely and with bad grace
from his stool and moved with equal
deliberation to the president's room.
"Brooks, has Fernandez & Co., that
Pernambuco firm, been heard from
yet?" demanded his employer.
"Check came today," was the la
conic reply.
"Full amount?"
I EUGENE WALTER, j
Author of "Paid In Full" and "The 1
Euiett Way" I
"Yes, four thousand eight hundred
and soTonty-flvc."
"All right. That's all."
Brooks went out, closing the door
behind him, and returned to his desk.
Ho was in a bad temper himself and
made no effort to conceal it, for a sul
len scowl marred his handsome and
usually genial face. Not only was
Joseph Brooks handsome, bnt a rather
distinguished looking young fellow,
whose clothes sat well and becomingly
upon him, albeit they were somewhat
shiny from wear and from Ironing by
inexpert hands at home. And if his
collars and cuffs also were just a trifle
the worse for wear at least they were
Immaculately clean.
"Cheer up!" admonished one of his
fellow clerks, noticing his ill humor.
Brooks' moods were never taken se
riously, for with him fits of despond
eney alternated with n contagious cor
dlality and an optimism that knew no
limit. Of late, however, his spells of
gloominess had become wearisomely
frequent, nnd usually they were ac
companied by a nervous irritability.
"Cheer up?" he answered, with some
heat. "I don't see any reason foi
cheering up, nnd I don't feel like
cheering up. Did you hear how the
brute received those delegates of the
Longshoremen's union because they
asked him to add a little to their star
vation pay to help them keep skin and
bone together? Why shouldn't he raise
them? Why shouldn't he raise all of
us? He's reeking with money, doesn't
know what to do with It, yet what
does ho do but grind us down grind
nnd grind and grind grind us as a
grain of wheat is ground to powder
between the millstones grind us with
his heel, squeezing from us the very
sap of brain nnd life that he may add
to his pile."
The clerks near him had listened to
this outbreak with amused surprise.
"Well," said the man who had ad
dressed him before, "I haven't noticed
"f hope the longshoremen do strike!"
you sweating blood to any extent un
der tho grinding process."
"Jenkins, you're a a camel," retort
ed Brooks. "For a wisp of hay you'd
let yourself bo loaded till the last
straw broke your back, and then you'd
lick the hand that crushed you."
"Sure," said Jenkins enthusiastically.
"Anybody can load me up that wants
to."
"And I'll back his liquid capacity to
equal that of any camel," chimed In
another clerk, while every one within
earshot grinned.
"Oh, you can laugb," grumbled
Brooks, "but it doesn't alter the truth
of what I say. It's men like him that
have made our society today what it
Is, a soulless, heartless, oppressive
civilization in which Croesuses walk
roughshod over tho men who are
down and thrust them deeper Into the
slough with one foot as they climb
higher and higher to the power that
the possession of .Inconceivable wealth
aarrifta with It."

"'Twns ever thus!" sighed Jenkins.
"But there is yet hope. Our Joseph
hath received a call to uplift the down
trod." "How did he get it? What Is his
record?" went on Brooks, ignoring the
interruption. "Why, he started out as
a sealer or a south Pacific trader,
which in those days was the .same as
being a pirate, and you know and I
know that his name was a terror to
sallormen from San Francisco to Aus
tralia. Ho made his first money by
bullying nnd 111 treating other men and
killing them, too, on occasion. It's a
matter of common knowledge. And
he's been a buccaneer ever since.
Didn't be bnnko and sandbag my fa
ther-in-law out of control of this com-.
pany? And what has he done since
then but act tho brutal tyrant over
everybody connected with it, beating
us down to the lowest wage a man
can exist on that be may add to his
dirty heap, running this office with
fist, boot and rope end as though it
were his lawless ship and we wero his
groveling Lascar crew. I hope tho
longshoremen do strike! They would
bo doing humanity a service if they'd
Oil him full of bullets."
"There's a lot of truth In whnt
Brooks says," assented a youthful
clerk In low tones, looking around cau
tiously as he did so.
"Well, after nil, I don't see that
you've got such a fierce kick coming,"
observed Jenkins to the disgruntled
orator.
"You don't, eh?" sneered Brooks.
"You think $20 a week is big pay for
an accountant and collector who's
handled half the money of the line for
five years, eh?'
"No; I mean that you are at least
solid with the boss and sure of your
Job, which Is more than anybody else
here is, and that you stand to become
nn officer high up in the company one
of these days. Williams is a friend of
your family. Isn't he? You yourself
have boasted often that he visits you
nnd your wife."
"That's just it. The swine takes ad
vantage of his relations with my
wife's people to keep me down and
rub it in. Other people get their sal
ary raised, but I don't. Do you call
that a square deal?"
"It hardly seems so. but perhaps
there's a reason. He may have some
object that will appear in due course,
and you'll go up several numbers at
one sweep. In the meantime," contin
ued Jenkins, lowering his voice, "I
wouldn't let on like you have this aft
ernoon if I were you, Joe. It can't do
any good and might do you a deal of
harm. You don't know who might hear
you. and the boss somehow knows
everything that goes on In the office."
"I don't care," affirmed Brooks sul
kily. "I'd Just as lief tell him to his
face what I think of him, and, by
gum, I will one of these days, darn
him!"
"All right," laughed Jenkins. "I hope
I'll be around at the time so that I
can perform for you the last sad rite
of gathering up your scattered re
mains. Ah, here's Jimmy Smith!"
, to be continued.
Smuggling Chinese.
Australia Is perturbed by tho dis
coveries of Mr. Batchelor, the com
monwealth minister for external af
fairs, who has been inquiring into the
Illegal Influx of Chinese. There is a
wealthy organization in China with
agencies In all the principal Auslra
llaa ports and with the connivance of
ships' officers the systematic smug
gling of Chinese Into Australia has
be;n carried on for a long time.
The ships trading between Hong-
Kong and the Australian ports have
been so cunningly supplied with false
bulkheads, walls and floors that hid
ing room has been provided for eighty
Chinese stowaways on a single voy
age. Ship cooks have been secretly
paid to supply the stowaways with
food.
The trade Is very profitable, as Aus
tralia Is only a few days' steaming
from China and many thousands of
Mongolians are always ready to pay
large sums and run all sorts of risks
to get to the land of gold.
A Poor Man's Drink.
The yerba mate of Paraguay tea
haB an Immense consumption In the
lower parts of South America, almost
to tho exclusion of tea and coffee. It
grows wild and plentiful, is cheap as
dirt and has a good per cent o!
"thelno," the active principle of tea
and coffee, but lees than either. It
has a genuine high therapeutic sooth
ing, stimulating effect upon the atom
ach and tho whole system. The peo
ple over a large part of South Ameri
ca have the very strongest belief .in
Its curative and consoling effects
Tho Argentine peon and cowpuncher
live on so much meat and so few veg
etables that If they did not drink
"mate" the effects of so much animal
food would certainly hurt them. They
usually suck up the hot mate tea
through a straw, and that la all they
get from sunrise to midday. It may
become the poor man's drink of the
world.
