of Perils ta a alck mau, which accounts for
bis moody demeanor during his stay In
London.
He has a serious internal malady hlch
cannot be surgically t rented, and it makes
htm nervous and Irritable. All effort! to
muse him fall. The prince of Wales gave
up trying to entertain him and went to
visit Lord Rlpon In the country. Princo
Arthur of Connaught, only a lad, is now
showing the shah around. The entertain
ments provided for the Oriental potentate
are mainly of a juvenile character, Includ
ing the Empire Music hall, the hippodrome
circus, Mme. Tussaud's wax works and the
Crystal Palace fireworks display.
The shah does not conceal his disappoint
ment that be has not been dining In com
pany since he arrived. This aloofness Is
partly due to his illness. The court circu
lar Insinuated that be attended a dinner
In his honor at Buckingham palace given
by the prince of Wales, representing the
king, but the shah was not there. He did
not attend the official dinner given by Lord
Lansdowne as the foreign minister, and
ven at the Persian legation be lunched
alone in a separate room.
Too Speedy for Htm.
The shah Is morbidly nervous, and espe
cially while traveling. When he went to
Portsmouth to meet the. king he stopped
the train three times because It was going
too fsst for him. It was running twenty
three miles an hour. On the third stop
page a railway oraciai remarked iu luw
tone to the newspaper men: "It this Is
too fast for htm he had better get out
and walk." The shah's moroseness did not
wear oft aboard the royal yacht until he
met the queen, with whom he conversed
In comparative calmness. . He also ap
peared interested when Princess Victoria
anapshotted blm. He has only been seen
to smile ones while here. That was when
he suddenly found hlmaslt face . to face
with bis own effigy In Mme. Tussaud's wax
works exhibition. Hs made soma comment
in the Persian tongue, which caused his
ulte to laugh, but they- declined to inter
pret It The visit will end officially to
morrow, hut as the English channel la
rough the shah will not cross to Calais,
hut will wslt at Dover for a smooth sea.
He is not likely to repeat his visit.
Mile. Lole Tells DlfTereat Tale.
PARIS, Aug. 18. Lole Fuller, whose Eu
ropean tour seems to have been profitable,
Is having extensive alterations made to her
house In Paris. 8 he tells how she was sum
moned from Berlin to dance for the shah
lately at Contrexevllle, where be was taking
the waters before he went to London. The
shah wanted to have every trick of the color
lighting explained to him and boldly fum
bled among the folds of her dancing skirts,
to ascertain how the tiny electric bulbs were
arranged, until the dancer manifested an
noyance. Mile. Lole says tha stories of his
gifts of splendid gems must be falsehoods,
for, sside from her fee, which wss paid by
tbo grand vizier, the shah only offered her
a bix of the poorest sort of candy.
The shah Is expected to arrive her Mon
day with his suite of seventy-five persons
and to remain until September 10. He
wants a summer residence in Paris. Kara
man Khan, his aide-de-camp, tried to buy
the former mansion of ths king of Hanover,
Bow the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Harris
Phelps, and falling to get it secured apart
ments in the Elysea hotel tor this visit.
The shah will build a residence here in time
tor his occupancy next year.

suggestion by the librarian's, congress here
In 1900, Mme. Mario Pellecbet, since dead,
offered a prize of '$200 to the discoverer
of the best means of saving books from
worms.
The prise was divided recently between
two competitors. Constant Houlbert, a pro
fessor at Rennes, and Johann Boll of
Oorets. They have not found a way to get
rid of the book destroyer, but they hays
catalogued more precisely the number of
the Insects and have suggested means to
combat them.
It appears thst ths most formidable
eneifiy the book has Is the anoblum, which,
sees through a microscope, bears a strik
ing resemblance to a cowled monk, and
has very destructive claws and antemao.
It has been found that sulphur of carbonate
kills It. but there is always danger In using
the stuff, for it is Inflanimabla at a com
paratively low temperature.
At Nice tba reading rooms havs had to
be closed evenings on account of a sort
of moth very harmful to the books.

(Copyright, 1908. by PreM Publishing Co.)
PARIS. Aug. 23 (New York Worhl Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) The veteran
Marquis ds Oslllfet, a former minister of
war, is letting some of his highly interest
ing recollections get Into print. He tells
of meeting King Edward VII In Paris in
1880. while the latter was prince of Wales,
and the prince asked him to dine at the
Cafe Anglais, where he would meet Cam
betta and another guest. At dinner, as they
chatted, the prince said to Gambetta: "May
I ask wby you and your friends keep the
French aristocracy out of office T"
"But, air, there is no aristocracy In
France," answered Gambetta. "There are
dukes that head no army, marquises who
defend no marches, counts and viscounts
who have no counties or viscounties, no
authority nor Influence."
"Suppose, then, that I spoke of nobles."
"But they don't want to be employed.
They know their day Is over. They sulk,
and that la their final state. One only
meets them in the army and navy, and
now and then In diplomacy. In these ca
reers they cut, I own, a good enough
figure."
"But, why do you not act as In my coun
try f" queried the prince, "where we pick
out what is best in manufactures, trade,
science, literature, etc. These men we en
noble, and our nobility remains a true
aristocracy."
"In your country that is still possible,
and may remain so for some time, but not
In France. The duke of Mossystone would
object to rub shoulders with the duke of
Cotton Mills or of Commerce or of Science
or ot Fine Arts. We cannot in a republlo
have any aristocracy but that of science
and personal merit. Such an aristocracy
needs no titles. It is looked up to for its
worth."
"I see you are a true republican, M.
Gambetta."
"Allow me, air," retorted Gambetta, "to
confess that I think you consistent In
being a royalist."

piquant details hitherto unpublished, of
Lord Randolph's meteoric political career.
Winston's political prospects, now
bright, may be dark-clouded unless he
deals Judiciously with hla fatber'a corre
spondence. Mrs. George CornwsUIs West came up
from Cowes on Monday, Intending to go
straight on to Scotland, but her son Win
ston, who haa been staying at her house
all the year, looked to be in such poor
health that , his mother . Insisted "on ac
companying him to Westgate, a aeaslde re
sort la Kent, before proceeding north.
She returned yesterday, but her son will
stay there for a month. His friends are
greatly concerned about him, as lately
he has been in extremely low spirits and
generally run down. He has worked ex
tremely hard all year and could not be
Induced to go away for rest before. It
was only when he learned that he had
been chosen to write his father's life that
he consented to go to Westgate.

How the Fair Tragedy
Happened.
(Copyright. 1908, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS, Aug. 23. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) The automo
bile accident in which Mr. and Mrs. Charles
L. Fair were killed continues to engross at
tention and new theories are constantly be
ing advanced over the signatures ot expert
automoblllats. Borne contend that the auto
mobile did not touch the tree, but that on
seeing the danger Mr. Fair gave the ma
chine a sharp twist, bringing the front
wheels up absolutely perpendicular and at
the aame time applying the brakes, hard,
which combined action stopped the vehicle
so suddenly that Mr. and Mrs. Fair were
pitched forward violently.
Others explain the accident otherwise.
There are all sorta of rumors explaining
the change of front of Brotey, the chauffeur,
and Mme. Hourdet, the wife ot the castle
gatekeeper, who seem now to know much
more than they did at first. It la current
gossip that both witnesses are now in the
hands ot lawyers who will manage their
teetlmony to the beet advantage.
Brotey now claims that the accident was
not due to a burstsd tire, but that Mr. Fair
was suddenly chocked by a violent fit of
coughing.
SCHEME FOR A NEW CALENDAR

PARIS. Aug. 23. (New York World Cable

marion, who haa long maintained that the
calendar at present In uss is very defective,
has secured the support of twenty members
of the Chamber of Deputies for a bill de
signed to make a new and, aa he calls it,
rational calendar compulsory in France.
Tha acheme ia to start the year with the
vernal equinox (March 21) and have each
"Trimester," or quarter, contain one month
of thirty-one days and two months ot
thirty dsys each, thus making a year of
364 days, and to have afterward a fete day
not counted in any month, and every four
years two such fete or new year'a days.
Ths months are called after the stars.
The main advantage aeems to bs that the
same dates recur on the same daya ot the

changing calendars every year.

going through the country to see you, my
fellow cltlsens. I am obliged to you for
coming out here.
Last night, in Hartford, I spoke of two
or three questions which we now have be
fore our people. I shall not try to make
any address to you today. This nstlon has
great problems to face, problems in its ex
ternal policy, problems even more Impor
tant In the administration of its Internal
affairs. We can solve them only If with
serious purpose we set ourselves to the
tuiik alike in the national and state gov
ernments and In the local municipality and
county organizations. We have great
problems ahead of us as a nation. They
will lax our Intelligence, but they will tax
still more what ranks ahead or lntelll

Mast Demand Character,
It Is a good thing for a nation to demand
In ita representatives Intellect, but It is a
better thing to demand In them that sum

All of you know that that Is true In
Drlvate life. If you are dealing with a
man In a business way. whether aa em

a storekeeper or with anyone, you want
him to be a smart man, but it Is a mighty
bad thing If he is only smart. (Lauahtor i

Exactly. Now what you want in a private

in your public representatives. If you are

POLICE PROMPTLY ARREST MURDERER
-k
After Being Lodged la City Jail
Christiansen Does Not Seem to
Realise the Gravity of the
Crime Committed.
Craied by Jealousy and drink, Antone
Christiansen murdered his wife about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon by shooting her
with a thirty-eight-caliber revolver. He
fired four shots. Tbe second struck her In
the left eye and the third In the back,
immediately below the left shoulder blade.
Death was instantaneous. Christiansen was
arrested a few mlnutea after the shooting
and lodged In the city Jail. The body of
the murdered woman waa removed to the
rooms of the coroner.
The tragedy occurred In a room occupied
by the couple on the second floor of the
Montgomery hotel at 1421 Dodge street
and was the culmination of frequent quar
rels between them.
Yesterday afternoon Christiansen re
turned home intoxicated and began to quar
rel with Mrs. Christiansen. During the
progress of this Christiansen was heard to
remark to his wife that her "time waa
abort." A few momenta later, while the
two were In the room alone, ahota were
heard. Ida Mangusen, a chambermaid at
the hotel, rushed Into the atreet and gave
the alarm. The police were aummoned,
but before they arrived Christiansen had
left the room wherein he had killed hla
wife and locked himself In a bath room on
the aame floor.
Son Helps at the Arrest.
John Christiansen, their son, who had
left home's abort time before the ahootlng,
returned to the house at the aame time
the police arrived and saw hla father In
the bath room, through a window which
pB'J onto ths r?o? ef an s5'o!s'5s
lng. He Informed the police and Officers
Vanoua and Flynn rushed to tha window
and Captain Mostyn to the door of tbe
room. Christiansen had locked the door,
but aa the officers started to enter through
the window, he made a rush for the door,
unlocked It, and waa grabbed by Captain
Mostyn. He then threw hla hand to hla
hip pocket, aa though to draw a revolver,
but tbe captain caught the hand. Chris
Hansen then surrendered and banded the
revolver to the captain, quietly remarking:
-This la the gun."
The body ot the murdered woman waa
found lying face up across tbe bed, the
feet resting on the floor. By her side on
the bed waa a wash bowl, which she had
in her hand when the ahootlng was done.
Blood waa flowing from the wound In her
face and she lay In a crimson pool which
came from the wound In her back. Chris
tiansen had anapped hla revolver at her
four times. The first charge failed to ex
plode, the second atruck her in the eye,
and aa she reeled and started to fall he
Bred again, this charge striking her In
the back. Aa she fell acrosa the bed he
snapped his revolver sgaln, but this
charge tailed to explode.
Christiansen Is Stolid.
After being taken to the police atatlon
Christiansen expressed no concern or re
gret over the shooting. When he was In
formed that hla wife waa dead he aald
he did not believe it. After he had been
convinced that aha waa dead he aald noth
ing, nor did he show any Indication that
he cared. He waa thoroughly 'sober by the
time he reached the station and told of the
murder of hla wife calmly and without
feeling.
"I waa in her room," he aald, "when
she came In to dress. I apoke to her and
she answered me insultingly. I then drew
my revolver and anapped it at her, but
It did not explode. The next charge ex
ploded and it atruck her. She reeled, and
aa she fell, with ber back toward me, I
shot again and I auppose I hit her in the
back. I am not sure whether I shot a
fourth time. I did not think that I killed
her."
The revolver used waa a 88-callber ham-
merleaa and waa purchased by Christian
sen In South Omaha last Thursday, though
he stated that at the time be bought It he
had no Idea of killtnk hla wife.
Stormy Family Life.
Christiansen Is 40 yesrs of age and hla
wife waa 35. Tbey had been married nine
teen yeara and had one aon aged IS yeara.
They resided In South Omaha for about
fourteen years snd then removed to Omaha.
Those who know them say their married
life has been a atormy one and their quar
rels frequent, and much more ao of late,
owing to Christiansen's Jealousy and to the
fart that he was drunk almost constantly.
May 1 last, with Christiansen's spprovsl,
Mrs. Chr'stlansen and Charles Krug rented
the Montgomery hotel snd Mrs. Christiansen
was installed as landlady, she and Krug to
divide the proceeda ot the house. At reg
ular intervale abe and Krug met and aet
tled tbelr accounta. This made Christian
sen more Jealous and .on a recent occasion
when he-returned home and found hla wife,
Krug and Ida Mangusen In a room to
gether, settling accounts, he threatened to
kill Mrs. Christiansen. For some time Mrs.
Christiansen has been in poor health and
during )it week she hsd been under the
care of a physician. All this time, hla aon
and the. roomers at the hotel said, Chris
tiansen was brutal to hla wife and had fre
quent quarrels with her. Saturday after
noon the aon waa present when the two be
gan to quarrel, but was sent on an errand
by hia mother. He aald that he knew his
father had a revolver Friday and that he
and hla mother hsd spoken of having him
arrested, but did not.
Inquest Prosinbly Monday.
Mrs. Christiansen waa a alster of Michael
Mlnlkus, a aaloon keeper at 1001 Pierce
street. It is probable that an Inquest will
be held cn ber body Monday morning. Chris
tiansen Is a carpenter and at one time
wae employed by the Union Pacific Rail
road finpany. He has a sister living in
OmcV: End a brother !n South Omaha.
