KAISER IS A GREAT LOVERJ- TRAVEL Is Rarely Seen These Days at His Capital New Opera for Berlin.

BY STEVEN BURNETT. pecil Calilt from the International NevK Sitv!ci. ) Berlin. July 22. Berlin is rather a dull place at present, for everybody who can possibly afford to get away from the city is in Norway or Switzerland. In tht matter of traveling, the Kaiser himself iet3 his subjects an example of energy and persistency. Since his Journey to Corfu, His Majesty has spent considerably less time in his Koyal palaces in Merlin ami Potsdam than away from them. The long dolour which brought him away from Grecian waters by way of london has been followed by a series of uhortqr trips which have taken him all over Germany, winding "P with the visit to Kiel. He is now away again on his annual cruise in the North Sea. The list of the guests invited to accompany him on this pleasant excursion along the Scandinavian coast is always scanned with interest here, and made the' basis of subtle deductions as to the prevailing trend of Iloyal thought and feeling. A few years ago a good deal of attention was attracted by the fact thHt. the list or persons singled out. for royal favor included several civilians far better known to the world of business and practical aTfairs than to the court. This year the guests have been limited rather strictly to mem Iters or the suiite and military men. The only exceptions are a marine artist, Professor Hans Bohrdt, and Count van Hulsen Haenler, the general director or the royal theaters. The complaint that the stereotyped and well-groomed productions or the Berlin royal opera do not meet the needs of public taste Is to be answered next season by the opening of a new opera house. It will be known as the Kurfursten. Oper, and will be under the direction of llerr Maximilian MoriH, formerly of the Komische Oper. The avowed purpose of the management is to get away from the routine operatic repertory and ahcieve variety. The sincerity of its intentions in this respect may bo judged from the program of the first season, which provides for premieres for Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari't new opera "Der Shcmuck der Madonna." and Karl Weis' opera, "1770," together with the productions of such little known or altogether unknown works as Hermann Frankenstein's "Rahab," Mascagnl's "Iris," Nougese' "Quo Vadis," founded on the Selnkiewicz etory and Broil's "Der Golden Kreuze." These will be sandwiched In with more familiar things. The caBe of Pastor Jatho of Cologne has aroused deep and widespread Interest in Germany, An eloquent divine of blameless life, he was dismissed from his office on the ground that his opinions were not in harmony with the tenets of the Lutheran church, the state church of Pdussia. Of course it was a grave matter, for among other thoughts Pastor Jatho had expressed doubts as to the divinity of Christ; he had gone even further and professed himself a Unitarian. But what has caused the excitement Is not horror at his unorthodoxy but the fear that in the future no liberalism will be tolerated in the hcurch. A rececf law has transferred judgment in ease like that of Pastor Jatho from a church synod to a mixed body elected on a party principles in which Conservatives and Catholic Centrists have preponderating influence. These people, it is udged, will end by Catholocising the Lutheran church, by erecting an edifice of dogma outside of which no kind of Christianity will be possible, and which must limit Christianity's worldmission. Two natural consequences of the in cident are the revival of the cry for the separation of the church and state In Prussia and the demand for another Luther to proclaim a second reformation. The nature of the next important work with which Br. Richard Straus la to favor the world is now known. It is something radically different from his latest undertakings. It is a a two-movement "Alpine Symphony," with an abundance of exciting orchestral effects and the usual thread of Straussian philosophy running through it. The wayfarer's upward struggles, through peril, storm and doubt until he gains the mountain-top furnishes a somewhat obvious allegory with which to illustrate the. adventures of the soul in nature. The first move ment Is already completed. Dr. j Strauss is writing the work as Carmisch. where the windows of his workroom look out on the inspiring Alpine landscape of lower Bavaria. A sensation has been caused in France by the announcement that the Krupp firm has bought land between Maubourg and Feignies. and intends to erect a factory for building locomotives. There is great indignation all over France that the groat German firm tdior.ld be permitted to get a foothold on French soil. The land was obtained by an anonymous buyer, and the price offered was $S0,U00, nearly three times the amount originally given foi the land by its late owner. The deal was mado throush. a man from Brussels, and it was the Koelnische Zeituug that announced that the real buyer waa the Krupp firm. Germany's sixth Drcadnaught, the battleship Thueringen has now been !

put Into commission and made a unit J tier, saying, "Cap, Ah spect you'd betto the High Sea fleet which will playj ler get over on the otfccx side "awhile."

ADMIRAL TOGO WILL TOUR THIS COUNTRY

if

London, July 22. The coming toui of the I'nited States by Admiral Toge is at present engaging the attention of his suite. Trunks are being packer, and all the Admiral's effects put. ii readiness for his speedy departure. Admiral Togo will arrive in New York on August I, where he will be met by Captain Templin Potts, Chic! of the Naval Intelligence Bureau, whe will look after the distinguished foreigner during his stay in the I'nited States His itinerary will include the cities of Boston, Philadelphia, New York and Washington. a very important part, in this year's, naval maneuvers. The completion oi the Thueringen is an event of the greatest importance 10 the German navy, for she is the first of the German Dreadnaughts carrying anything larger than an eleven inch gun. Her displacement, is 22,000 tons and she carries an armament of twelve 12.2 inch, twelv 5.9 inch and sixteen 3.4 inch guns and six torpedo tubes, while her belt of armor is eleven inches thick amidships tapering to 5 inchese fore and aft. German navy officers proudly assert that the Theuringen compares favorably with the latest English battleships, the "Hercules" and "Colossus," which are only 20,000 tons and carry ten 12-inch and sixteen 4-inchm guns. But, on the other hand, the disposition of the Theuringen's principal guns can hardly be regarded as satisfactory. The six turrets are arranged one on the center line forward and one aft, while the others are at the four corners of the superstructure. Although carrying two big guns more than the Hercules the Thueringen can, therefore, bring only eight guns to bear on the broadside as against ten, and she is also inferior aft, only six guns bearing as compared with eight on the British ship. Forward the vessels have six guns each. In the aggregate, however, the Theuringen is much superior to the Hercules, her total gunfire being 13,830 pounds as compared with 8,996 pounds for the British ship. Agreed With the Admiral. Sir John Fisher, who recently re signed as first sen lord of England, is a bluff", blunt, old fashioned seaman, about whom nne dotes cluster as bees on a honeycomb. One of the classics, has to do with a former boatswain on Fisher's ship, who insisted upon seeing hiiu nt the admiralty offices in London. Fisher was busy and refused to be bothered. "Ili'il stay h'until ITi do see Mm." said the boatswain. Sir John was not in good humor, and when this wni reported to him he snapped out, "I'll se him In hell." The boatswain had edged into the office and heard this promise. "Tli know that. Sir John." said he, "but III want to 'nve a talk with you first." And be had the talk. Making It Right. On one of the southern railroads a negro f juml employment n a fireman. On his first trip he noticed that the steam gauge showed :. pounds, the hand pointing in the direction of the engineer. "See the way that hand if pointing?" said the engineer. "Yes: TArm HIM ON THK SHOrLDEB. sab.." "Well," continued the man nt the throttle, "you waut to keep that hand pointing at me all the time." They ran along for about fifteen miles, and the steam went down. The hand began to point toward the fireman's seat. The uegro watched it Intently. Finally he stepped over to the engineer end tanned Mm on the shnni.

PRINCESS MARY IS VERY LIVELY MISS English Public Believes She Should Be "Sat On" London Gossip. London, July 22. King George's decision that although the young Prince jf Wales is a knight of the garter and .ias been Eolcmnly invested with his itle at Carnarvon, he is not to be 2rmitted to take part in any public :eremony until he reaches his actual naority. is generally approved. There ire people at court however, who vould be considerably happier if the ling would use his paternal and royal iuthority to suppress princess Mary vho they say is far more in need of ieing "sat on." The Princess, these people say, is nr too precocious. She loves to assert crself at every occasion and at the "Coronation she actually delayed the

c-ocession from the Abbey by insist ng on entering the carriage ahead o her older brother, declaring that the 'Princess Royal" ranked higher than :i Prince of Wales, who was not ye Prince of Wales. I hero is in fact a danger, that rincess Mary will become in her vay, as great a nuisance as the pres nt Queen of Spain used to be in the ater Victorian davs. The First Universal Races' Congress "vhich opfns here on Wednesday and astr, until Saturday net, has among ii supporters over tmrty presidents o Parliament, the majority of the mem ierB of the Permanent Court of Arbi ration and of the delegates of the 'econd Hague Conference; twelvr British governors, eight British pre aiers; over forty colonial bishops Tome 130 professors of Internationa' Law; the leading anthropologist and -ociologists of the world, and the of8 ers and the majority of the counei if the Inter-Parliamentary Union. Special consideration will be giver to the problem of the contact of Europeans with other developed types o civilization. The views of the colorer races are to be voiced, and paper: have been prepared on questions af fecting China, Japan, Turkey, Persia India, Egypt, Haiti, the American nc ;ro and India, and the negro of Wes and South Africa by distinguishec members of the peoples concerned. A good story is being told in Fleet street at the expense of a party ol Scotch journalists, who occasionally dine together and entertain a guest. Last week they were asked to re ceive a distinguished Indian visitor They declared themselves honored The visitor's dignified bearing, his gorgeous apparel, and his gravity pro claimed him an Easterner of high caste. He was accompanied by a mili tary man, who interpreted a speech which he delivered. To this speech one of the best known Seotisli journalists in Fleet street responded, expressing the sense of honor felt by the com pany. Then the visitor sang a plain tive native ditty, accompanying him self by tapping a straw hat. The company declared the performance most impressive. Then suddenly the distinguished visitor electrified his hosts by jumping to his feet and singing "I love a lassie," with a broad Scotch accent. The se cret was out. The "Indian Prince" was a Dundee artist disguised. The journalists were speechless with amazement for a few minutes, and then with quick wit turned the occasion to good account. They sent urgent message? to a number of their colleagues in the newspaper offices, and gravely introduced them to their guest. The laugh ter was loud and long as each new victim entered the room and was made to bow low in response to the grave salutations of the gergeous stranger. Gold mining in Sutherlandshire has now begun with a will "and the Duke of Sutherland's mining camp at Kildonan is in full swing. It is located near the Suisgill Burn, a typical Scot tish stream flowing midst kild and barren country, not unlike parts of South Africa in some respects. Mr. William Heath, who is an experienced Klondyke miner, is in charge of the search for gold, and he has under him a gang of seventeen laborers. It is hoped that the new industry will shortly employ a very large number of men. for work is badly wanted here. To house the miners two large tents have been put up for there is to be accommodations near the lonely stream where the gold is being found. One of the tents is used as a diningroom and the other as a dormitory. Amongst the equipment of the camp are a blacksmith', forge and a carpenter's shop, and the venture is being conducted in a serious, energetic and business like way. The gravel in which the gold is found is being washed in sluices and to facilitate this the burn has been dammed in two places In order to concentrate the flow of water and ob tain it in sufficient quantities. Several tons of gold bearing gravel can now be washed each day, and those behind the project expect rich results. Sand as a rire Extinguisher. Why are pails of sand kept hanging in som buildings? It is the usua' thing to see hanging in large building museums, factories, offices rows o pails containing a liquid which can bt used for extinguishing the flames lu case of fire. It is quite common nowadays to see also a pail of sand hanging with the others or in a place by itself. Thin sand is for use in case of fire caused by an accident to the electric wires, bringing about what is known as "a short circuit." If water were used it would spread the electric current and probably increase the damage, but sand, properly used, very quickly extinguishes the flames. Christian Science Monitor.

For the Children

Three Grandsons of the German Kaiser. Photo by American Press Association. The three handsome boys in the illustration are sous of Crown Prince William of Germany, eldest sou of the kaiser. They do not differ in appearance from youngsters that may be seen every day in this country. Koyal birth, according to American ideas, adds nothing to a boy or girl. True worth is what we appreciate in this land of the free. The youngster ou the left is Prince Wilhelm Frederick, born July 4, l'.iOO; on the right is Prince Louis Ferdinand, born Nov. 9. 1.907. and in the middle is little Prince Hubert, who will be two years old next September. About the Flicker. The flicker, or yellow hammer, is one of the bird carpenters. Using his bill as a chisel, he builds his home by cut ting a hole deep into a tree trunk or telegraph pole. The sharp, stout bill also conies in handy for grab bunting in the bark of trees. The flicker is musician, the drummer of the bird orchestra, and he plas a great "rat a tat-tat" on tin roofs and drainpipes Ants are a favorite delicacy, and for this reason he is often seen on the ground. The flicker is handsomely colored. His gray head is set off by a crimson band. The brown back is evenly bar red with black and shows a large white patch when he flies. The wings' are black barred above and show a beau tiful golden color underneath as he flies overhead. A aniily of young flickers ia most in teresting to study. The little fellows are noisy in demanding their food and whine for it like a lot of young puppies. They gulp down worm after worm until one should think their stom achs would burst, but still they cry for more. As they grow older they become saucy and scream loudly if they see anything Dew or interesting, They soon learn good manners when they get out lu the world and act as respectably as any other bird. The Power of the Breath. vvnen you nave breathed Into a paper bag in order to inflate it, for the fun of popping it afterward with your fist, have you ever asked yourself what Is the power of your lungs? You are aware that this force is capable of being measured by the instrument call ed the spirometer, which you will often see at fairs. You may replace this elaborate affair with a simple paper bag. Let your bag be long and rather nar row. of a sufficiently strong fabric. Lay It flat on the edge of the table, its mouth toward you; charge It with gradually increasing weights, such as books; then begin to blow, and you will be fairly astonished at the weight your breath is able to balance. As soon as you have become expert you will find it quite easy to upset a couple of heavy books, one above the other. by blowing underneath them. Magical Experiments. Den, a Jolly Game. "Den" is a good out of doors game. Each boy takes the name of a wild beast and has a tree to himself, which represents his den. Any player who leaves his den is liable to be tagged by the next one out. The best runner gen erally starts out first, a second pursues him, and so on until all may be out at once. If a player can tag anv one he has a right to capture, he takes him home to his own den. and the latter must help him to take the rest. The pursuer cannot be tagged while bringing home a prisoner. A New Button Button. The orientals play "button" with a fruit stone. Instead of saying "Button, button, who's got the button?" the leader sings: Something for all. a pip for one; Four o'clock seeds and pineapple bun; Pewter, please and powder run! As the leader shouts the last word the child who has the stone starts for the goal, which he sometimes makes without getting caught; then he has the stone a second time. A Summer Song. Butterfly, flutter by, skimming the cloi-er. Eee, buzz your drowsy sons over and over. Tell of the summer sun. Sins that the winter's done. Flutter by. butterfly; hum, golden rover. Ieep In the meadows the daisies are swinging. Out of the thicket a thrush sons is r'ning. Mellow wind, yellow light. All the world's warm and bright. Everything summer's dear praises is sinein.

LAME DUCK HAVEN HAS BEEN DOOMED Sen. Cummins Wins Fight for Abolition of Monetary Commission. Washington, July 22. Senator Cummins of Iowa, has won nis fight to compel the national monetary commission to submit its report to congress and to require the dissolution of the commission immediately thereafter. As a result the principal haven for political lame ducks will be abolished. Under the enabling act the commission might continue in existence until 1914 if not otherwise disturbed. The commission has cost 5300,000 up to date. Senator Cummin3 wat moved to introduce his bill largely by the scandalous proportions which the commission evil was assuming. Almost all of the "old guard" representatives who were repudiated by the people at the polls have berths on various commissions at the same salary they received in congress. In some instances even higher compensation has been given. "Lame Ducks" to Lose Jobs Retired statesmen on the monetary commission are former Senators Al-

drich, Burrows, Hale, Teller, Money, Khnt and Taliaferro and former Representatives Honynge and MeaLuglin. Fach draws a salary of $7,500 a year. In response to the agitation against the commission which has been brewing in congress, former Senator Aldrich, chairman of the body, sent word a few days ago to the regular Republican leaders in the senate that he would be ready to present his report when congres convenes next December. This report will be a recommendation for legislation reforming evils in the financial system of the country. Accompanying it will be the draft of a bill for this purpose. Senator Cummins last April introduced his bill to compel the commission to report and disband not later than next December. The bill was referred to the committee on finance and nothing more was heard of it until the Iowa senator began to demand action. The regular Republicans on the finance committee did not want to o fend Mr. Aldrich, so they refused tov cansider the bill. Senator Cummins threatened to move the discharge of the committee, and the indications were that there would be plenty of votes to achieve this end. Favorable Report on Bill. At this junjture Chairman Aldrich communicated the intelligence that he intended to bring in his report in De cember anyway. The regular Repub licans on the finance committee there fore decided ther would be no harm in passing a bin requiring Mr. Aidrich to do what he intended to do voluntarily. Chairman Penrose of the finance committee reportsd the Cummins bill to the senate today with a favorable recommendation, but on account of the absence of Senator Bailey consid eration of the bill was postponed. Its passage is assured. The resignation of Secretary of State Knox from the commission was announced. Senator Penrose was ap pointed to fill the vacancy.

Smart society at Newport is Interested In the opening of Marble House by Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, for it Is believed that this fact indicates the Iuchess of Marlborough is likely to come over with her two sons to vldt her mother for part of the season. Mrs. Belmont has not occupied this palace for a number of seasons, and that she should do so now is a matter of gratification to members of the smart set, who hope thut she may entertain as of old. Even if her daughter does not come to America Mrs. Belmont has her son Harold with her and may give something for him. Her entertainments are never dull, and, although she is so active a suffragist and for some time has given most of her attention to the movement, she is still as secure in social leadership as ever. A PICNIC DAINTY. Served In Gelatin a Delioioua nam Cold Dish. A glorious dish for the picnic or other outdoor frolic is jellied ham. It looks just as nice as it tastes, and that is saying a good deal. Good Housekeeping tells how to make it, and If you have a wish to try it here is the recipe: Mince fine sufficient cold boiled bam to make a cupful, season well with '1!?f JELLIID BAX. salt, pepper, paprika and a few drops of onion juice and moisten with one cupful of thick sauce to which have been added a little red coloring and a heaping teaspoouful of granulated gelatin dissolved In cold water. Have ready a number of small molds lined with aspic Jelly, fill the molds with the ham mixture and set in a cold place to harden. Turn out and serve very cold with mayonnaise dressing. Necklaces and Buoklea. Necklaces will undoubtedly continue their present popularity, says the Dry Goods Economist. In these the indications are that the thin or delicate chains equipped with a single pendant, generally accompanied by a dainty drop of some kind or other, preferably In a color harmonizing with either the wearer's mUIinery or costume, will be most favored. Girdles of all kinds will be a strong feature of fancy' gowns next fall and winter. Those composed of wooden bends in a latticework will be used alone and as a bordering on chiton, satin, etc. Linked metal and Jeweled effects are shown in the new lines, and wide black Teivet ribbon girdles with the enda elaborately embroidered in gold, silver, bright silks and chenille and frequently stnflded with Imitation Jewelry. The Gas Stove. To economize in the use of gas observe t'lese rules: Havr all cooking ready for the blaze before the burner Is lighted. The burner may be extinguished a few moments before your cooking 13 finished sncl still retain heat enough for the purpose. At night turn off the stopcock be tween the stove and the main pipe to 1 prevent waste. Xever use a large burner when a small one will do. A strip of asbestos pinned around a burner causes the heat to concentrate on the cooking instead of scattering into the atmosphere. If you heat by stove utilize the space under the fancy top for cookiug.

TOURISTSJOT HURT But Lightning Killed Nin& Saddle Horses.

(National News Association) San Francisco, July 22. Nine horses ridden by eastern tourists on one of the streep trail in Yosemlte valley were killed by a bolt of lightning and not one of the riders was injured. All were thrown violently to the ground, but escaped serious injury. The tourists started for the top of Glacier Point. They had reached the summit and were preparing for the descent when a thunderstorm of great violence arose. In spite of the heavy rain the party "continued their way down the steep trail, which winds along the face of the cliff. There were ten in the party and they were within a few feet of each other, proceeding slowly. The upper end of the column was passing under a tree when there came a roar of thunder, and in an instant there was a flash of blue fire which enveloped the tree and the entire line of travelort went down. Only one horse survived the shock. The riders were all stunned, but in less than half an hour started on the return journey on foot. ' - ' Told Him the News. Lord Dufferin when he was a yeun man in Dublin always used a certain Jauntlris car driven by an old Irishman, who. however, did not know the name of his patron. "Well. Pat." said Dufferin one fine morning, "what is the news today?" "I- don't think of ant-thing, sir." was Pat's reply. Tben as an afterthought. "Yes; they do say that that one eyed Dufferin Is going t marry Kate Hamilton." Stuck to the Rule. A r'fform lecturer who was green on the Job was remonstrated with by the manager of his bureau as follows: "Why. they tell me that down at Jobnsonburff you lectured two hours. That's too long. The committee says that more than half your audience left before you were nearly through." "Well, let me tell you." protested the rew lecturer; "you told me when you started me out that I should make It a rule to quit while the audience wanted more.
