Miss TRAINS L10SS FOR EMPEROR Julius Bteth Goes to Abyssinia by Spacial Invitation. MAKES HIT WITH AFRICAN POTENTATE Vequlres Only Three Daya to Hare Wild Beasts Doing; Some Simple Tricks Is Well Paid for Ills Trip. (Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Cs.) LONDON, March 18. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) Julius Seeth, whose remarkable performance la a csge with thirty-one Hons is attracting much attention, has had many remarkable experiences, but what he regards at the most extraordinary was his appearance be fore King Menelik at the latter' court In Abyssinia. Seeth was In Zurich when Menelik's prime , minister witnessed one of his performances. Ha.waa so Impressed that he asked Seeth if be would go to Abyssinia and give an exhibition before the emperor. Knowing that King Menelik would give him a dozen or more lions in payment for the trip he consented and la 1898 made a trip to Abyssinia, which lasted live and a half months. In talking of bis experiences Seeth said: "After my presentation to the emperor he said to the prime minister, 'show kin the lions,' so we went round the palace to a little house where the lions were, and (be prime minister said to the doorkeeper, 'open the door, this gentleman wants to see the lions.' The doorkeeper aald: 'I can't open the door, they are toe fero clous.' "The prime minister said, 'there are thirty-two, aren't there T' and the door keeper replied that there were only twenty-eight left. The door was mads In two parts, and I opened the top- part and looked In, and saw all the lions lying down. When they saw me something hap pened that you may think curious they got up and they all slunk off into one cor ner. "I noticed thst. but I did not notice that the emperor had followed us and was standing behind us. I opened the lower part of the door end walked in among the Hons. I stayed there about five minutes and then rame out. The euipror was so . astoulshed he did not know whit to say; he had been quite sure I would be torn to pieces. He thought it was magic. "When his majesty recovered from his astonishment he shook hands with me he was so delighted and he Invited me into the palace to have breakfast with him. "Later the prime minister came to me and said the king had asked If I would train a Hon to do some little thing not much. I chose three Hons, and In eleven days had trained them to do the see-saw, to He down, to stand on a pedestal and to jump over my leg. "Then I went and told the prime min ister that I had got a little thing ready, and next morning the king came and saw the Hons do their tricks, and he was so delighted that he could not find expression for It. He thought it something; wonder ful, and he gave me the best decoration ever given to a European, and which is usually only given to generals who have been very brave. It Is a large cuff made of gold and covered with precious stones." ' Seeth has been a trainer of wild animals tor twenty-three years, beginning when but It years old, in his father's menagerie at St. Petersburg, - "Jaguars and tigers are the most difficult animals to deal with," he said. "They have i nasty tempers. We call the Hon the king ' of beasts, and so he is. He is more noble tempered than all the others. He Is not like the tigers and Jaguars, always thirsty for blood. A good-natured Hon is Just as docile as a dog. The pet of my entire aggregation is Menelik, given me by the king. "The value of an untrained Hon Is from 11,250 to $1,750. When they are trained they are worth more. It yon were to put $10,000 down on that table I would not sell you my pet, Menelik he is so intelligent and good-natured, and understands every word I say. Lions are very like children with most of them kindness Is the only thing, but here and there yon get one that Is bad tempered and must have the whip. "I have tea men, but I find It best to feed the lions myself, and do most things for them. Every morning Immediately after breakfast I go In to see how they are and brush them down. They are very Jealous creatures you would be astonUhed and if I pet Menelik too much the others become unhappy, so that I have to ge and pat them, too, to show them it is all right. Altogether, I have trained 300." trothal Kubellk gave a concert in the great muBlc hall. Few of the thousands present knew he was engaged to marry the beauti ful young woman who sat in the front box near the stage with her father, but many noticed her extraordinary good looks and the undisguised dt.ight Kubellk'a music gave her. Kubellk will marry in July, 1904. when ha Is 24. Meantime he will have built and furnished in Vienna a house which be means to occupy with his young wife dur ing the pauses between his tours. Kub ellk remained with his betrothed one day only. The next day he set out on a tour through Germany, and Countess Czaky left with her father for Debreczln.

Finally to Wed the Coanteaa Caaky Ssells. a . , (Copyright. 1903. by Press Publishing Co.) VIENNA. March 28. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) No royal betrothal could arouse half the Interest in Vienna that is awakened by the engage ment ot Kubellk to Countess Cxaky-Bxell. The famous violinist Is 23 years old, the countess is 22, and they have been des perately in love three years. When Kubellk waa in Uebrecsln on bis first teur through Hungary, not many months after bis extraordinary taleut bad been discov ered, be was invited to the house of Presi dent von Bxell of the Hungarian Senate, and there the llhyear-old daughter Marian fell in love with the violinist. Ehe was then betrothed to the son of an Illustrious Hungarian family, Count Koloman Ciaky. She tried to get out ot the engagement, but her betrothed refused to let her go and she married htm. Countess Csaky made no secret of her infatuation, cerresponded with the object of her lovs and led her husband and her father such a life that they saw no other way out ot the difficulty but to fulfill her wish for separation. The Sxells are Protestants and the mar riage had been performed in the Protestant church of Debreczln, ao it waa possible for Countess Marian to think of a second mar riage. Then she came to Vienna with her father and saw her beloved violinist again and they exchanged rings, la the evening ot the day of their be- NOT ALL THE HIGH ART IS OLD Clever Mea Succeed la Foollnax the ' Beat of the Expert In France. (Copyright, 1908, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, March 28. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) The French minister of fine arts, M. Chaumlo, has ordered a searching exauvna i"n of the contents of all the state museums, and some more startling exposures ot forgeries and deceptions are looked for. The revelations which led to the with drawing of . the "fake!" tiara ot Saltap harnes from the Louvre caused the big gest scandal ever known In : the Paris world ot art.', The fact that the state ex perts have been compelled to admit that what they certified was a unique historic, masterpiece Is only an Impudent fraud, casts much discredit on the value ot ex pert opinion. All this recalls the report published months ago In the World that J. P. Mor gan's collection includes several Imita tions. The Austrian dealer who sold the tiara to the Louvre also disposed ot sev eral articles to a London Jeweler, who sold them to Mr. Morgan, who later pre sented them to the Metropolitan Museum In New York. Rachumowsky, the Russian engraver who fabricated the tiara, says he made It in 1898, and offers for $250 to cay his expenses to come from Odessa to Paris and pro duce proofs of his assertions. Herrmann, the Vienna dealer who suc ceeded in selling the tiara to the Louvre, came to Paris with a partner named Antol Vogel. As soon as the museum paid the first half of $40,000 It had been agreed for the tiara, Vogel took a train for Vienna, fearing discovery of the fraud. Some years later he had the audacity to return here and try to dispose of several other counterfeit antiquities. Close exsmtnatlon of the works In ths publlo collections In Paris resulted In the i hasty removal of many pictures and curios j to the state lumber rooms. A portrait of Rembrandt, "by himself," in the famous Dutult collection, Is now pronounced to be ; the work of bis pupils. The genuineness of another world-famous picture, "The Mills," by Hobbema, is also caMcd in ques tion, and a collection of supposed art por celain Is now admitted to be worthless. LONDON, March 28. "I don't think there are any really good forgeries of art treasures In the market at the present time," a British museum official says In a published Interview. "J. Plerpont Morgan practically cleaned up the last big output. It is shocking, the way Mr. Morgan Is Induced to pay small fortunes for ' forged works. Mr. Morgan throws money around so lavishly that -other collectors, who, perhaps, know a little more about antiquities, but possess less cash, cannot compete with him. The 'Brit ish museum is not Justified la wasting pub llo funds In such a manner, and dealers often say, when tbey quote an enormous price: 'Mr. Morgan paid so and so. We cannot be expected to let things go for less than his market price.' "Mr. Morgan buys under expert advice, but experts, even when disinterested, have been deceived. He exhibited a Titian 'Holy family' at the Royal academy last year which was generally denounced as a for gery. He paid $125,000 for it. Recent dis closures as to a secret factory in London, where Romney and Gainsborough copies are turned out to perfection, strengthens the widespread opinion among connois seurs that Mr. Morgan's $150,000 'Lost Duchess' Is an Imposture." Collectors here, who are eomswhat Jeal ous and resentful ot Mr. Morgan's lavish employment of his resources, are saying that it is fortunate that he has hesitated about paying the American tariff on his acquisitions until the genuineness of many doubtful articles is established.

(New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) The French commander, Chabal, captured at Mars-la-Tour in the war of 1870 a Prussian flag, which was divided among his men, the flagstaff being presented to the museum of the Hotel -dee Invalides. Commander Chabal's dream now is to collect all ths scraps ot the flag, re construct It and - present It to the In valides.

TRIP FILLED WITH PERIL Dash to tha South Made by ths Crew of D.tcoTery. MANY NARROW ESCAPES FROM DEATH One Man Falls Over Edge of a Preci pice and Another Sleeps tor Honrs I'nder a Snow Drift. LYTTLETON, N. Z.. March IS. The sledging parties -of the British . Antarctlo ship Discovery, whose experiences were re ported by the relict ship Morning on the tatter's arrival here Wednesday, engaged tn much harzardous work. The dash southward of Captain Scott of Discovery, as a result of which he reached latitude 82.17 south, was attended by great hardships and extra strain. The softened snow told quickly on the dogs, which soon all died. The party had only a month's provisions when they left tha southernmost depot and. therefore, It wss Impossible to continue southward without Inviting disaster. The return Journey was most trying. The party was on short rations for five days and its progress was seriously Impeded by fog. Lieutenant Shacklcton burst a blood vessol In one of his lungs and only bis pluck pulled him through. The crew of Discovery Is described as having palpably aged owing to bard llv.ng, but all are well and cheerful. Another party under Lieutenant Barnes was returning from a sledge Journey to ward Cape Crozler, when a blizssrd struck It, ten miles from home. Barnes abandoned his tsnts and sledges and left the dogs to find their own way to the ship. Owing to the blinding snow Barnes and his compan ions were unable to see two yards ahead. While they were descending a slope one of the party disappeared and members of the expedition discovered themselves to be on the edge ef a huge precipice. Bleeps I'nder a Saow Drift. Another member of the party fell from sheer weariness and was not missed for some time and he was eventually given up as lost by ths rest of his companions, who searched for him. But it developed that the man alept under a drift for thirty-six hours and he rejoined the ship unharmed. The members of another sledge expedi tion, under Lieutenant Armltage, were away fifty-two days. 7hey attained an al titude of 9,000 feet and descended on an Ice slide to a glacier 2,000 feet below. The descent was perilous. The sledgrs at one part of the descent covered 1,300 feet In a minute and ten seconds, their oc cupants hanging on by straps to the back ot the sledges. Lieutensut Armltage fell Into a crevasse and bung thirty feet be low the surface. But for the fact that he was harnessed to the other be would have fallen 2,000 feet. At Cape Adair Discovery found Bor cbgrevlnks' house tn a good state of pres ervation. There were several esses of scurvey during the trip, but they recov ered on the return of the sufferers to the ship. There were many complaints about the tinned provisions. - t . , The places ot Lieutenant Shackleton and the others who returned on Morning were not filled, as Captain Scott still has forty one men In the crew on Discovery.

A Conversation With Climax When a Professional Man Talks, ire to the Point. Several famous American physicians and surgeons were recently dining together after a session of a national meeting held In New York. "I had a remarkable case this winter," remarked a surgeon present, whose name as a specialist in rectal diseases Is world wide. "My patient was a woman, a deli cate, nerve racked creature, who had .suf fered so fearfully from ths ravages ot hemorrhoids that the knife seemed the only solution ot ths trouble, aud yet her heart was weak and her strength ao wasted by this fearful diBesse that we dared not operate. "I had ceased my visits to her for a time and bad given up all hope, when one morn ing she entered my office looking like a new woman; the p&!or had divi'ereu and Iho lines of suffering were nearly eradicated from ber face. She told me that she had purchased a proprietary medicine, namoly. Pyramid Pile Cure, and that from the first Insertion ot the suppositories sbe had ob tained Instant relief. I made an examina tion and found the rectum in excellent con dition, the inflammation entirely disap peared aud the swollen veins In normal con dition. "I was so Interested In Iho case that I had the remedy analyzed carefully and was so pleased with the result of ti analysis, finding a combination of the most healing and scientific remedies preseut In the Pyra mid 11 le Curs and In more convenient form than I could aecura them otherwise, that I wrote to the Pyramid Drug Company at Marshall, Mich., a.klng for their booWlot on Piles, their Nature, Cause and Cure, (which by the way is sent free.) and have since used their Pile Cure extensively and with best renults In my practice. I do not hesitate to recommend It to you all. It will often save your patient from a painful surgical operation which In many casta r. suits fatally." "
