Fears over the condition of Emperor William are growing and a bulletin from the physicians in attendance was anxiously awaited in all circles today. Continued announcements from the Kaiser's bedfside that the indisposition is slight, amounting only to a cold and a touch of muscular rheumatism had been receeived with credence by the general -public but were sceptically viewed in 'court and diplomatic circles. This doubt is strengthened today as !the result of an announcement from iCount Eulenberg, chief marshal of the imperial court that the emperor will have to abandon all his engagements for this week and gave himself entirely over to rest. The proposed trip to Switzerland which was scheduled to start on September 2 is now expected to be cantelled despite the announcement made !4 hours ago that the emperor was determined to go.

Quaint Witch Charm is Discovered In German Bible Owned by Ed. Fulte

The days when persons still believed in the magic power of charms and spells, when superstition still enthralled thousands, and witches were supposed to cure diseases and avert sickness and evil, is vividly recalled by a quaint parchment discovered in an old German Bible recently submitted to a local minister by Ed Fulle, of Liberty avenue, who bought the Bible as a curiosity. In looking through the old book, the pastor came across the old parchment, engrossed with old German type, and containing a magical charm that was supposed to ward off fire and pestilence from the person who carried or kept in his domicile the magic paragraph. The parchment is yellow with age, but in an excellent state of preservation. The type of the printing is in large letters and the German style of the kind used in the first quarter of the eighteenth century. The charm was first printed in Koenigsberg, Prussia, by Alexander Bauman. It had a tremendous sale and the printer who catered to the superstition of the German peasants made money fast in the disposal of the scroll that was supposed to be a preventative against the ravages of fire and pestilence. The publisher asserts in the introduction that the royal Prussian government tnd the general superintendent at Koenigsberg declared the incident in which a gypsy first used the incantation successfully as an actual event. A Christian gypsy, king of Egypt, so the publisher states, first discovered the magical effect of the charm. On June 10, 1714, in the kingdom of Prussia, six gypsies were executed by hanging, the seventh, a man aged seventy, was to be executed by the sword six days later. "Fortunately for him," the old parchment says, "a fire broke out, and the old gypsy was released and taken to the scene of the fire, there to show his art, which he did to the great astonishment of the onlookers. He quieted the fire in one-half hour, so that it was complete CONSIOERJROBLEMS Of Importance in Increasing Railroad Efficiency. (National News Association) CHICAGO, Aug. 27. The four day Eession of the twentieth annual meeting of the Travelling Engineers' Asso ciation was convened here today with a series of reports by special committees bearing upon some of the biggest i-roblems confronting railroad experts ready for submission. Among the most important of these were the questions oi increasing the efficiency of locomotives by the use of chemically treated water, submitted by Chairman F. MoArdle; a treatise on fuel economy, by! Chairman E. P. Roesch; locomotive in-! epecnon, Dy Chairman H. P. Henson; increasing the interest of engineers snd firemen in the economical use of luel and lubricants, by Chairman Robert Collett and the advantages and disadvantages of lead on modern high sped locomoives, by J. F. Jennings. Incidental to these reports data was submitted from officials of railroads in all rections of the country setting forth the practical results of experimental tests on their system. How to Keep Christmaa Troe Groon. To keep a Christmas tree green and prevent needles falling place the tree in a pall of water for one or two bours before it is placed in position; then when tree is ready to trim take a good sized piece of cotton batting and moisten well with water and place around tree.

A QUAWTlTy CF "THE- AlAflOt ly extinguished and it did cease. Whereupon, after this successful test he was granted pardon and released from prison." A translation of the text of the charm follows: "Welcome to thee, fiery guest. Do not grasp more than thou hast. I forbid thee this in the name of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. "I command thee by the power of God, which doeth and createth all, that thou standest still and doest not not proceed, as truly as Christ stood in Jordan when John, the holy man baptized him. "This I command thee in name of the Holy Trinity. "I command thee fire, by the power of God, subdue thy flames, as truly as Mary preserved her virginity above all women, which she kept pure, and therefore, fire, cease thy ravages. "This I command thee in the name of the Holy Trinity. ."I command thee, fire, cease thy conflagration by Christ's dear blood, which he shed for our sins and transgressions. "This I command thee in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. "Jesus Nazerene, king of the Jews, save us from this fire and preserve this land and its confines from sickness and pestilence." The publisher adds: "He who has this charm in his house or in his pocket will be preserved from death by fire and lightning. He who carries this with him or has it in his house will be secure against sickness and pestilence." The supernatural power which this charm was supposed to contain if kept in the home or carried on the person induced many peasants to buy it. It is believed that one of the early owners of the Bible purchased the charm, and in superstitious belief placed it in the old book. . If it is remembered that the last execution in Europe for Borcery took place in 1782, the prevalence of the belief in the efficacy of charms can readily be understood. HITS THE OUTLOOK Moderator Claims Lyman Abbott Is a Heretic. (National News Association) WINONA LAKE, Ind., Aug. 24. Charges interpolated in a sermon by Rev. Mark A. Matthews of Seattle, Wash., moderator of the Presbyterian general assembly, that Rev. Lyman Abbott and his associate editors of the Outlook are heretics, has created wide discussion here today. Rev. Matthews' charge was dropped into a sermon on the fruits of the resurrection of Christ. "Perhaps some of you young ministers study the Outlook," he said, "and think yourselves very wise. If ever there was a publication by a heretic, the Outlook is that sheet. It is edited by a bunch of heretics. If you continue to read it you will have theological meningitis, sociological neuritis and political gastritis. "The publication is under the ban of the pure food law because it never had a baked article in it nor an unadulterated one." StoppedPtli's Mouth. Mme. Tattl had a curious experience some years ago when she was singing in a duet with Santle at a concert in England. SanUey suddenly began laughing, and they came to a stop. For a moment there was much mystification among the audience. Then Patti stepped forward and explained.

(National News Association) NEW YORK, Aug. 27. Rich land owners whose properties lie in the tenderloin, were in a panic today over the threat of Police Commissioner Waldo to make public a list of gambling houses, together with a list of the owners of the buildings. Later in the week he said he would probably publish a list of disorderly houses. He tried to bave, both lists" ready at the same time but there has been a great deal of work verifying the data.

According to police headquarters Commissioner Waldo has taken pains to acquire the history of each resort, showing that after being raided the places were invariably reopened. Mr. Waldo designed by this to show that the owners must of necessity have known the character of the business carried on within their property. One Church Affected. The proposed publication of owners of disorderly houses roused more of j a commotion than that of gambling de tails. Many of the disreputable places are owned by persona whose reputations are above reproach. Trinity corporation, a company controlling properties owned by Trinity church and William Waldorf Astor, are holders of considerable property which is included in the district which District Attorney Whitman wants to ask a few questions about. There is a possibility that owners or lawyers representing land holding i corporations or estates will be called before the grand jury next month to explain why they allowed law violations. F. GINGRICH FOUND DEAD IN HIS HOME (Palladium Special) CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., Aug. 27. Frederick Gingrich, aged 84 years, was found dead in bed at 11 o'clock this morning. Senility was the cause. He was alone in the house when death same, his daughter, Miss Anna, having gone to the station to put a small niece aboard a train, and the other daughter, Miss Emma, being at Richmond attending the Chautauqua. Mr. Gingrich was preparing to attend the Connersville fair this afternoon. WORKED ON SUNDAY Did Many of the Farmers in This County. The farmers of Wayne county did not cease working in their fields Sunday to save their crops. The warm, dry weather dried out the oats and wheat, and ir. many parts of the county the day was spent thrashing. While much damage lias been done to the crops through the rains, farmers take a hopeful view of the situation and believe the damage will not -be as great as feared. The continued wet weather has caused the grain to rot and it was beginning to sprout in the shock. In Henry county the farmers went to the prosecuting attorney and asked permission to work on Sunday. It was granted and the farmers thrashed as long as there was sufficient light to enable the machines to be fed. How to Rip Furs. There is a knack of ripping np old furs with which all women are not familiar. The pelt should be turned wrong side up and the skin slowly and carefully cut with a sharp penknife, the blade penetrating the skin only and not touching the long hairs. Cutting fur with scissors destroys the beauty of the plt that might be saved by the penknife process. In sewing the strips together first be sure that the direction of the hairs is the same in both pieces when holding the bits of skin firmly between thumb and forefinger. With the fur side down overcast the eages together with - a rather fine needle and strong, fine thread, sewing near the edge.
