The New York Tribune gives this brief
biograpb) of the genial Gen. I). II. Stroll
er, who was known to a number of our cit

man, was greatlj admired by them,
who died at Charleston, West Va., March
8th:
ThU well known author and artist was
born In Martinsburg (then Virginia, now
WesfVirelnla), in 1S1C. He Mo lied art In
Philadelphia, under S. F. It. Morse in New
York and abrnid. As early as 1644 he was
engaged in illustrating books in the metrop
olis, but retired to Virginia In 1549 In
IMS, over the signature "IVrte Crajon."
he began contributing articles to Harptr't
ilngminc, on the south. Illustrating
them with sketches on the block,
iotne of these were collected In a volume.
"Virginia Illustrated." The productions
of his pen and pencil appeared in other pe
riodical aNo. He erved in the federal
army during the war, in the Sd Virginia
cavalry, rising from the rank of private to
brevet brigadier-general Upon the return
of peace he resumed his work, which had
already made h'ni famous. In 1979 he was
appointed consul-general to Mexico, and
iccupled that post six years. His nominal
tome was Berkeley Springs, W. Va.
THK SlTl'ATIOX JV OFJMMM
Nothing like the political situation now
existing in German) ha-. eer been known
la the history of civilization. A great and
good man an experienced and capable
military leader and a statesman and at
the same time a patriot and a Christian,
with popular sj mpathles a man who loved
his people and who was beloved by them
peaceful!) breathed his life away
in the Imperial palace at Berlin, at half
past eight o'clock, on Friday morning,
March 8, 18SS. The last utterances of the
great soldier the greatest and tho best
monarch of his time were expressive ol
peace and good will, but also ot faith and
loyalty to Germany's allv, Austria.
As the breath left his bod) his oldest son,
the crown prince, becamii the Kmieror
Frederick III, but takes to the throne of
the empire a broken physical constitution,
and, at b3t, but a short lease of life. The
ablest medical experts of Europe differ as
to the disease in his throat, but no one of
them ventures to hope for his recovery. He
assumes the burden ot the ruling ot one of
the greatest of the world's empires, with
the feeblest ph)sical powers and a mind
undoubtedly gieatiy affected by his phys
ical wexkness. 1 hat this is to, is. so far as
human tys can see, a great misfortune
for the German people, for the new
emperor Is unqtieittionaMi worth) son of
his father a soldier who has shonn his
qualities as a fUhter and a militar) leader.
In the Held, with tits father, and who has
shown himself to bo a good and strong n-an
In other lines
His fiiccevor at an early ptriod -is to
be, sj far as human probabilities Indicate, his
oldest son, thn Prince William, who leaned
over the form of Ills grand-father during
his Ian hours, and ho seemed to f e 1 and
appreciate tho supreme gravity of the situ
ation. About tills )onng man there are
conflicting opinions. We have alread)
quoted trom bis utterances sufficiently to
show that there Is enough In his head, of
sound principle-, in morals, patriotism and
statesmanship, to make of him a great and
safe ruler if he will abide by Hk dictates of
bis heart and his conscience. All Christen
dom will hope and pray that he will. Hut
Germany must, hereafter, be oul) an em
pire In its greatness, not an empire, solely,
because iU emperor Is an aboInt- sover
eign. Tho German people are Intelligent
and strung ami their government must
become essentially a popular gov emment.
ItLs quite evident that the late eniemr
toresaw this: and it is quite evident that his
grandson also foresees It.
It is now. and It will henceforth be, im
possible that any man whether emperor
or premier shall rigidl) rule the German
people. There Is the same condition of
things In Oreat Britain. Queen Victonn
has bjt little more, if any, power than the
president of the United States, and we pre
dict that if the prinee of Wales reaches the
throne he will find that ho has even less,
and no one need b surprised, who lives to
tee the death of Queen Victoria, to see the
people change to their alread) popular form
of government to a nominal and real re
pjbllc What the friends of Germany de
sire and her tons and her well-wishers
abound in all portions ot the civ illzed world,
and especially are they numerous In the
UnitedStates-ls that the government of Ger
many, whether under an emperor In name
or a premier In fact, shall be of, and
trom, and by the people. Only auch a
government can endure the test and strain
which the coming years shall put upon It.
The American people mourn In common
and mingle their tears with the people of
Germany. The death of uch a man as the
Empror William afflicts and bereaves the
civilized world. It is not at all probable
that this generation will see his like again.
He was a man ot gigantic mold, a hero in
the field of battle, a great-hearted and
great-minded man In the councils of stnte.
and he seemed to be greater and more he
roic on his death-bed than he had shown
himself to be at any prev lous period of his
lite.
We give herewith a brief sketch of the
life and career of the great emperor. Ho
was the serond son of King Frederick Wil
liam III and Queen Louie, princess of
Mecklenberg. and he was born March 2J
1737 dying. Friday, March P. ISSS. as we
have already said In the foregoing, and at
the age of 91. The young William had al
ready dlstlugulxhed himself In the wars
with and overthrow of Napoleon Bonapxit.
In 1S13-1S14, and became known as an ei -
thusiastic soldier and as a man of popular
sympathies. In IS 10. on the death of his
fatber his brother. Frederick William IV,
became king of Prussia, and he the prince
of Prussia, as heir presumptive.
On the outbreak of the European revolu
tions In 1S48 he was compelled to leave the
OJuntry. and went to Kngla-id. In the
spring of tho following) ear. however, he
supresed the revolntun in Baden and
the Palatinate. In 13S he was
made regent of Germany, and king In
f8t, when our American civil war Ut
broke out. He went to the throne in pe
culiarly unfavorable circumstances. The
people are ald to have been especially ir
ritated by the reorganization of the anny
which he deemed essential to the elevation
of Prussia. The feeling against him was
onl) increased by the appointment of Bi
marcfc as president of the cabinet. After
the war with Denmark in 1S-14, however,
and particularly after the brilliant vic
tories over Austria and her German allks
under the personal leadership of the kini.
the tide of public sentiment turned and the
king and Bismarck and Moltke were the
Idols of the people. Pru-sia Mradilv
forged ahead. In 1807 William put
himself at tho head of the North
German confederation The war with
France (1S70 71) resulted in the German
princes uniting In offering King
the imperial crowu of German).
William
. A new
emperor
contest then arose between the
and the cbnrcli and the emperor
and the
popular party. The emperor,
however.
and Bismarck stood firmly together to the
end.
We close with this press dispatch, de
scribing the last hours of the emperor:
During the last thlrt) -six hours the em-
speror was drows) , delirious and conscious
alternate!, starting at times excltedl) to
make remarks relative to family or polit
ical matters. Obce he mistook Prince
Bismarck for the crown prince, and
taking his hand pleaded that hn
would always be kind to the Czar
He afterward recognized Prince Bismarck
and expressed in broken sentences his sat
isfaction with the Austro-German allixnce.
About 5 o'clock In the morning he talked so
much that the Grand Duchess of Baden
said he would tire himself. The emperor
replied: "I have no time to be tired."
Prince William stood at the foot of the bed.
During the last moments the emperor did
not sutler. Ills face wore a tranquil, alinrst
smiling expression. A few minutes before
his death the emperor exclaimed, "Fritz.
dear Fritz." Emperor William left SOu.-
000.000 mark in cash. It Is expected that
the funeral will take place next Thursday

A misslonar) reviral, of grand propor
tions is In progress. We do not say a foreign
missionary revival, for nodlstlnctlon should
be made, b) Christians, between foreign and
home missions. Our home missions are
foreign to people of other countries and
their mission work Is a home work to them.
This revival, therefore, affects all Christian
work, here and In remote lands. It Is now
thought that 3,000 ) oung men and women
are now e igaged In preparing for mission
work, in the colleges and seminaries of this
ouutry and England, anl the Methodists
ot America, having just raised a million
and a quarter in all, for mlxsioas
in ono year, are abont to raie
another million or more this )car,
and we should not he surprised If they
should contribute two millions year,
henceforth. They are capable of doing It.
Then the Presbyterians have set about
raising $5,000,000 for missionary and edu
cational purposes. The Cougregatlouallsts
hxve raised 70,000. this ) ear, far, for j
foreign mlvslons, more than they did for
the corresponding period, Ixst jear, and
this Is true In the face ot th tact of the
dissatisfaction of the Andover wing ot tbe
denomination. We believe that we are
entering ujKin a new era of inlionar
work.
This great revival of interest in the con
dition of the unchrlstlanized nations abroad
wilt react most favorabl) upon the churches
at home, for their memlters cannot become
fired with true zeal for tly; salvation of men
and women ui Chins and Africa, without
hat lug the sxme feeling In behalf of their
o n unsav ed neighbors. We pre.Hct there
fore, that this revival of what Is called
foreign misslonar) interest and work, as
shown In volunteers for the foreign
filil and enlnjged contributions, will
reaet upon the home fild and the
home workers and abvdutely revolutionize
our American and Knlish church vnnk and
Christian enterprises and activities. This
ought to be, a-id mnst be. the fart. Such
a revolution is a supreme need. Tbe
Christian world must grow out of the Idea
that it is simply the mission of a church to
s tpport, comfortably, a popular pastor, a
quartette choir and a skillfull organist, and
to squeeze all Its members into Heaven.
Theie are some churches that seeem to be
ba.lt that way." But such ci,urches will
neer save the world, awl it Is doubtful
wUether they will save themselves. U Is
the dut) of Christians to save others. In
grand, unselfish work, that embraces not
simpl) families or communities but the
vxliolrt world.

directed by the master, BLsmarck, with re
luctance at tlmM but always with dignity.
Here is one of the most splendid Illustra
tions in history of the supremacy of brains
over birth. Tht re is a change in emperors,
but the ruler Is the same. It would be bet
ter If the people could rule, but the nation
that finds a man has always, whatever the
form of government, a good thing.

the lesson the professor intersperses her
remarks with the wools "Souriei' Son

After half an hour of these general ex-erci-es
at tbe bar there comes a rest, and
the little girls begin once more to chatter

dust by watering the floor n geometrical
interlacements. Then follows the adage,

The dancers take place in the middle of
the room In rows, Mine Theodora holds
up her skirts and indicates the step, and
the littlo ones begin to boaud, whirl,

in unison, tvhilo the fiddle scrapes queer
tunes and the professor cries in strange
terms. "Bailcnnc, foadu, Ossemblez.

At Intervals there are moments of rest;
bnt the zealous pupils do not rest; they
run to the bar r.nd work their knees and
loins, muitipl)lng the efforts to gain
their suppleness and lightness that the
public often seem to regard as natural and
innate.
Tho third part of the lesson is the varia

the professor, who wlih her fingers dic
tates the steps that are to be executed,
one finger of each hsnd reprtsentln the
two legs of the dancers. "Attitude, pas

Suddenly the fiddle stops. There Is a

During an engagement of tho Strakosch
Opera company some years ago, "Car
men" was presented. The stage manager
instructed the captain ot tho supes to
make his first entrance with his men from
the back in single file, come down the
right side of the stage to the front, cross
the stage as rear the footlights as possible,
go up on the left side and there form line.
Tho directions were so simple that tht
stage manager thought It quite unneces
sary to rehearse the supers in the busi
ness. They obeyed to the letter. When
the cue came for their entrance they filed
on exactly in accordance with Instructions,
the captain at their head, walked down
the stage to the footlights and started to
cross when they were brought to a sudden
halt by the prompter's hood, which stood
exactly in their line ot march. Ther
was not sufficient room for them to pas?
between it and the footlights, so, after t
momentary pause to consider the dilemma,
tho captain proceeded to crawl over tht
hood, and every man Jack ot his crowd
followed suit Detroit Free Press.
