STAID BERLIN HOW JHLOJBOF PARIS German Capital Is Attempting to Rival the Giddy French City.
(Special CaM" from thn International Nrwa tfrvir.) BY STEPHEN BURNETT. Berlin. Feb. 25. Everyone knows that Berlin has a secret longing to rival Purl 8, and plenty of German will tell you that their capital ia as Interesting to Grangers, if strangers could only recognize the fact. Accordingly many efforts have been made of recent year to attract visitors, some of them being direct copies of Parisian Institutions. The Grune-
wnld race course was built to emulute Longchampa. Two Ice "palaces" have lately been opened to rival the H known I'alals de Glace In the Champa Klysee. Borne pears ago the I kaiser, who Is as keen on attracting ; rich people to his capital as anyone,: tried by personal example to establish ' sort of Avenue Du HoIhc1 Uoulcgne , In the Tlergarten with the aid of court '
carriages and fashionably clothed court friends. The very latcFt effort of a Parisian sort has been a carnival procession across Merlin, similar to that of the Latin Quarter during tho Mi-Careme. The Derlln cortege consisted of forty carriages, headed by an Knglish mall coach, fitted with a bund and followed by a motley crowd of pages, fools, Pierrettes, pierrots, fairies and clowns The procession st ruled from the center of the town at noon for the Zoological Gardens, where after a little nourishment had been taken, it returned to its starting point four hours later. Years ago, a similar attempt was made but was coldly received. This time the reception was quite genial and at one or two places, enthusiast Ic. Still, one swallow does not make a summer and there Is a vast difference between sober Berlin and gay Paree.
Women Should Use This To Clear the Complexion And Make the Skin Velvety
Here Is a Simple Recipe for a Massage Cream You Can Easily Prepare at Home.
Germany has three kings their majesties of Prussia, .Saxony and Wurtembergs and two of them are now on foreign leave from their respective thrones Frederick August of Saxony and Will: m of VVurtemberg. King Frederick August left the other day for two months hunting In Egypt and the Soudan, and King William has proceeded to Italy for a rest cure in the salubrious climate of that sunny realm. The Baxon king has left affairs In charge of his brother. Prince John George, while King William of Wurtembcrg designated his ministry to fulfill Jointly the functions of a regent. There are suggestions In the newspapers that the kaiser Is preparing for a Mediterranean cruise In the llohenzollern In March after the close of the court "season."
.Mr. Joseph Brucker of New York. Pr. Hans Kabrlco, head of the Munich military school of aviation. Prof. Alt, custodian of the Munich meteorological station, an engineer named Mueller, a naval officer, and a mi I lor will
No woman need suffer the humllia
tion of an unsightly complexion ifi she massages the skin nightly with , plain cerol cream. This can be prepared at home at small cost if you get 2 ounces of cerol at the drug store and dissolve in a scant pint of boiling water and stir until smooth. j Using this dainty and delightful massage cream quickly rids pores of blackheads, overcomes the oily, shiny ;
condition and makes the skin sort and velvety, giving it a natural, healthy tone which powder and rouge cannot successfully Imitate. attempt to cross the Atlantic shortly from a point in the Cape Verd Islands in a non-rigid dirigible. The route followed will be maily that of Columbus, over that part of the ocean which, owing to its comparative quietness, the Spaniards
still call tho Indies' Sea." The season of the year chosen is that of the northeast trade winds when there is no fog. The chief difficulty of a long voyage Is to prevent the expansion of the gas under the rays of the sun. and the consequent necessity of letting gas escape, thus leaving the balloon with too little bouyancy when the gas contracts again. Prof. Alt and Mr. Brucker have devised a scheme to mitigate this expansion. A force pump which can be worked by the engineer with one hand draws water up a tube to the top of the ballon, whence a series of sprays distribute the water in fine jets over the whole of the upper surface.
Experiments at Munich during the
summer showed that the spray al
most neutralizes the effects of the
sun, and only needs to be repeated at Infrequent Intervals.
Meanwhile arrangements are being
made for escape In the event of dis
aster. The car of the balloon is a
motor boat 30 feet long with a 10 h. p.
motor which can drive either the boat
screw or the two propellors of the bal loon.
The aeronauts, however, do not ex
pect to have to use these motors much as the dirigible will mostly drift with
the trade wind. They hope to reach the coast of Florida or Barbadoes in
about five days.
The car Is fitted with explosion proof
tanks containing 3.000 litres of bensine, and also an adjustment for suck
ing up water from the sea or from a ship, If necessary. The vessel Is not Intended to proceed against a head wind, so It Is bluff bowed. Its total capacity is 9,400 cubic meters, and it
has air ba lionets on the Parsaval sys tern.
Egypt), Pan-German jealousy of the crown prince's close intercourse with Englishmen in India, and others of the same unfounded kind are in turn suggested to explain the chancellor's request to the kaiser to recall his son and heir. The crown princess has prolonged he rstay in Egypt far beyond original intentions, so that it will be possible for her husband to Join her there and travel with her back to Germany. Germans, Inveterate critics of everything their Imperial family does, have not left the crown prince's sport filled program in India without comment, and to certain captious souls the in
terruption of his travels is not dis-j pleasing. Most people, however, are ; genuinely sorry that China and Japan j have had to be left out of the tour, for , high hopes of political and economic
results were cherished from the impression the future kaiser was expected to make on his Pekin and Tokio hosts.

friends of Harry C. Dell, formerly of
New York, who is a captive of the Mexican federal troops in Ixjwer California, as a result of the Mexican
revolution, are trying every possible
means today to obtain his release. Dell is somewhere In the mountains In custody of four soldiers. It is reported that he had been tried by courtmartial and sentenced to death, but
this proved Incorrect.

Washington, Feb. 25. The feeling prevails at the White House today that perhaps there will be a vote on reciprocity after all. The visitors who called told the President it was not hopeless yet it was far from encouraging. Democrats in the senate were also visitors to the executive office. Some of them came to introduce friends but others called to say that they would assist the executive all they could in getting a vote. Among these was Senator Smith of South Carolina. This southerner said that the members of his party wanted a vote and d!d not want any extra session, lie Baid in the first place the Canadian agreement was good and thdt it should be supported by all members of the party on that account.
