SOLLY JOEL, THE DIAMOND KINO 413-145-17 Soutti Sixteenth Street r, Favorite RfVrw of !- Barney Barnato Involved la Legal Tangle ftooa ("em" la I P. LONDON. Feb. g. (Special.) All England la expectantly awaiting the coming trial of Frans von Veltheim. the daring soldier of fortune who hss boon called "the prlnre of adventurers." A reader already know. Von Veltheim la charged by Solly Joel with an attempt at blackmailing. Von Veltheim wu arreated In Paris, extradited, and after a preliminary hearing a few daya ago, was held for trial at the New Bailey. Solly Joel la chief of South African multi millionaire, head of Barnato Broa. and the De Beers diamond mines a veritable king of diamonds. England Is awaiting the coming fight to a finish between these two strong men with Intense Interest because of the extra ordinary and sensational secrets which the testimony promlsea to reveal. At the pre liminary hearing the defense did not dis close tta hand no witnesses were called. In fact. But there wu a hasty drawing aside of the curtain In the cross-examination questions which gave an Insight Into what Is to come. ' Thus It was revealed that there la a mysterious young girl In the case. Her Identity Is hidden under the name of "Kismet." It is known that she waa beau tiful and the daughter of one of the best families In South Africa. It la asserted, too, that she had friendly relations with the Barnato firm and motives of hatred gainst Solly Joel. Despite her youth she In said to have been a political spy. In the troublous times in Johannesburg of murders and sudden deaths, this girl was found dead In bed, on the very morning 1 she was to havo given testimony In the trial of Von Veltheim for the killing of Woolf Joel, brother of Solly. Von Vel theim was acquitted of the charge of mur der after a three-minute deliberation of tho Jury. llot Against Boers. The principal sensation of the coming trial, however, is expected to be the reve lations concerning a secret plot to over throw the Boer government. A former plot, th well-known Jameson raid, is said to have been engineered by the Barnatoa and Joel. Solly Joel waa not one of the actual raiders but was a member of the reform committee, was later arrested, Jailed and In peril of his life, being saved at the eleventh hour by Barney Barnato. Von Veltheim will claim that he waa em ployed by Barney Barnato on a secret political mission at a salary of $6,000 per month and 'unlimited expenses, and that his demand on Solly Joel for 180,000 Is not blackmail, but a buainess request for money properly due to him. Von Veltheim will also charge Joel with prosecuting him In revenge for the death of his brother, with sending Von Veltheim an Infernal ma chine which almost killed him and with causing trfe burning to the ground of the hotel In which Von Veltheim lay helplessly sick. The Joel batteries will hurl many more accusations against the soldier of fortune than the one charge of blackmail. In Solly Joel's affidavit, on which the Parisian ex tradition was secured, he charges Von Vel theim with being among other things a murderer, biglmlst and deserter. There are South Africans In London to day claiming to know who declare that they would not give 30 cents for Solly Joel's life If Von Veltheim Is sent to the penitentiary. The adventurer has a memory, is a hale and hearty giant physically, and even after a ten years' sentence probably would seek his revenge. There are others again who declare that Joel Is so strenu ously prosecuting because he realizes that he la a marked man and that Von Vel theim la only awaiting hts opportunity. They aay that Joel finds it necessary to take a trip to South Africa and that with Von Veltheim a free man he dare not venture. Undoubtedly the coming trial will be the cause celebre of the year. i Wears Woman's Boqnet. Solly Joel waa, and still Is, noted for two things. One Is the cuil he wears In the center of his forehead, the other the bo quet of roses he alwaya wears In his coat. He is probably the only man In the world who wears a woman's boquet for a boutton nlnre. One rose, perhaps two buds. Is con ventional, but Solly wears flvo or six full blown and expensive roses. His curl he carefully cultivates and wears his hat on tlw back of his head, so that all can see and admire this hirsute adornment. For the rest of him, he Is just over 60, five feet The AfriGan Neflpo Una Beaatlfol Pearly Teeth, Clean, White aad Perfect, Without a Flaw, Evra la Old A are, XUTlnr STsar to Watnra, Xia Digestion Is rsrieoi Dr. Livingstone, and later, Henry Stan ley, both of whom spent much time In the exploration of Africa, In their memoirs mention the fact that members of all the tribes that they came In contact with po possed beautiful, white, pearly, sound teeth, and that on Investigation they found that this waa due to the fact that the di gestive organs of the negro had never been impaired, and that they wre able at all times to take care of the course foods that were taken Into the stomach. The negroes" food Is of the plainest kind and U seldom, If ever, cooked. It Is eaten as It is found, with but little preparation. The cause of unsound and Impei-rect teeth found among civilised people is due to two Important facts the prevalence of dyspepsia. Indigestion and stomach troubles, and the food we eat. In the foods that we eat there is a lack of phosphates and other materials neces sary to make repairs and supply the waste In the teeth. Then again few people In civilized coun trlea are free from dyspepsia, which In terferes with the whole system and causes trouble everywhere. To have sound teeth, cure your dyspep. sia and eat proper foods, and you will have little trouble with them. A package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets should be kept In the house at all times.

Joel's extravagance was such that when South Africa had a memorable drouth the papers published, cartoons of Solly talcing a bath In soda water and In champagne. A small soda cost 40 cents and champagne $10 a crack. Later on this extravagance was applauded. It was at the time of the Vrededorp explosion a dozen years ago. Fifty tons of. dynamite went off and forty lives went out with the entire village. Solly heard the news while on 'Change. Within five minutes he was taking round the hat for a sufferers' fund. He put a check for I25.O00 In it to start. In an hour the fund waa completed and $400,000 had been subscribed. This act brought Presi dent Kruger to Joburg for the first time In yeara and Joel was officially thanked. Soon after Woolf Joel waa killed Solly came to England, where he has lived for the last ten years. He hds a magnlflcient town residence In Great Stanhope street, Mayfa-ir, and two country places Maiden Erlegh, near, Reading, and Chlldwtckbury, which he bought from the late Sir Blun dell Maple. Dusplte his wealth, he does not go into society or approach Vie royal or smart set circles at all. He devotes most of his time to his race horses and occa sionally to his business. He Is a familiar figure at all rare meetings, which In Eng land are held dally all the year round. His stable has won some of the classlo events of the British turf, one of the biggest of last season's being the Gold Cup at Ascot. It Is customary In a big event such aa this for the owner to lead his horse into tho paddock after the rare amid the plaudits of the crowd. King Edward has dona this himself. But Joel, at Ascot, did not, and the fart waa much commented on. One ef the London papers gave as his excuse. "Mr. Joel was afraid of soiling his dainty yellow kid gloves." Solly Joel has as his neighbors in London a number of peers and peeresses. J. B. .Joel in Grosvtjnor Square numbers among his neighbors the duke of Portland, the duke of Somerset and J. Plerpont Morgan, Jr. Both have also gathered around them many South African millionaires, like them selves, of Jewish extraction. But for these friends the Joels live In solitary grandeur. DRASTIC DtVORCE LAW ASKED Men of Belgian Tows Say Their loustrr Has Rrrord for lafrllrltlca. BRUSSELS. Feb. 8.-(Special.)-Remark-able. Indeed, is the application made to the, legislature by a section of the men of Chatelet, a little town near Charlerol. They are husbands and demand in a lengthy petition that the chamber shall at this session pass a more drastic divorce law. The husbands In a proclamation declare that conjugal misfortunes occur more fre quently In Belgium than In any country of the world and that Chatelet. relative to Its size, holds all records. The hus bandj further declare that the women are to blame In every instance, for without encouragement from them, they would have no lovers. This particular group of hus bands who all acknowledge having been deceived, say they only make their griefs known to the whole of Belgium in a de sire for the public welfare. They appeal to all husbands or men about to become husbands to sign petitions to tha legisla ture. The petition derlares the law Is not se vere enough and demands the immediate application of a more rigorous punishment for faithless wives. The chamber is In formed that all the husbands la Belgium will forever be grateful SPINSTER PROBLEM SOLVED Victoria Woodhull Has Scheme for Eegeneration of England. WOMEN EMPLOYED ON LAND With Her Daughter She la About to Launch Women's Inter national Agricultural Club. LONDON. Feb. 1. (Speclal.)-Victorla Woodhull has a new scheme on hand. It is nothing less than the solution of tho spinster problem in England by providing superfluous womankind with a profitable outlet for their talents and energies In light agricultural pursuits. In conjunction with her daughter, Zula Maud Woodhull, she is about to launch the Women's Inter national Agricultural club. It is announced that it will be under "royal patronage," which counts for a great deal here. It ia predicted by Its promoters that It will go far toward regenerating England by woo ing people back to the land. Mrs. Woodhull started regenerating man kind before she was out of her 'teens. The fact that humanity has thus far stubbornly refused to be regenerated by any of her methods does not dampen her ardor or en thusiasm, although she Is now an old woman. When she gives up one plan it is only to adopt another. It is now about Cores Woman's Weaknesses. Vf refer to that boon to weak, nervous, suffering women' known as Dr. Plerce'i Favorite Prescription. Dr. John Fyfe one of the Editorial Staff of The Eclectic Medical Eeview sayt of Unicorn root (HeUmla DUrica) which Is one of tho chief Ingredients of the "Fa vorite Prescription " : "A remedy which Invariably acts as a uter ine Invlgorator niakes for normal ac tivity of the entire reproductive system.

Of Golden Seal root, another prominent Ingredient of "Favorite Prescription," Prof. Finley Ellingwood, M.

Both of their husbands are dead. Tennie sticks to her title of Lady Cook, but Victoria prefers to be known by the name she bore when she was making all sorts of sensations In America. Future of Hare In Land, Mrs. Woodhull says that she and her daughter have long been convinced that the true future of the race lay on the land but they have realized the futility of many of tho "back to the land" experiments, be cause they left out of account the deadly monotony and Isolation of modern village life, which makes It impossible for peoplo of culture and Intellectual tastes. The movement which they Itave now Inaugura ted aims not only to bring the people back to the land, but to surround them with all the refinements and advantages of modern civilization. For something more than a year the ex periment has been In progress. In 1905 it became possible for Miss Woodhull to de vote her beautiful estate of more than 1,000 acres and a magnificent old manor house at Bredon's Norton, Worcestershire, to the work which she and her mother had been planning for years before. The idea which she is carrying out there is the agricultural education of women on scientific lines, but this Is only part of the general educative movement which it is expected will grow from Bredon's Norton. Already the under taking has passed the experimental stage, and early this year the Women's Inter national club will be formally opened, and the control of the estate will pass finally Into its hands. Farming; for Women. The aim of the club is to combine scien tific agricultural training with practical farming of the kind which women can do. Eventually the estate will bo divided Into small holdings for fruit growing, poultry raising, bee keeping, market gardening and dairy farming. At present the Manor house has from twenty-five to thirty students who are studying agriculture under the 1 direction of experts. Bredon's Norton a few years ago was one of the sleepiest and most backward villages In England. Today it la equipped with a telephone exchange In communica tion with the trunk lines and connected with all the business and Intellectual cen ters In England. Motor cars dash about and a constant stream of visitor1 Is com ing and going to and from the Manor house. The villuge is only eleven miles from Cheltenham, which not only affords an excellent market for tha high-class agricultural producta of the lady students and gardeners, but Is also one of the Eng lish centers of education. Music, the thea ter, lectures and all tie other advantages of civilization have been brought almost to the very door of these women who have decided to give up the hurry and hustle of the town and lead tho natural and leisurely life of the country. At present the Manor house wll) accom modate about fifty students, but as the Hcheme grows in popularity cottages will be erected on the estate, which will accom modate almost an unlimited number. Arr rangements have also been made by which students and their male relatives can live In the village, so that the advantages of family life are also preserved. Meets Objection of Discipline. The club Idea is designed to meet the objection which so man? grown up peoplo have to the discipline of a school or col lege. The members are at home In their own cottages, and they can come and go as they please. lectures on the various phass of agriculture suitable to the sea son axw delivered daily and Illustrated by practical work, and for the rest of the day the students are free to devote themselves to practical gardening, to reading, to music or to visiting the many places of historic and antiquarian Interest in the neighbor hood. The library at Bredon's Norton has been carefully chosen by Mrs. Woodhull and her daughter, and there is hardly a stand ard work on any phase of life or work which is likely to bo required by the stu dents that is not to be found in it. Ag riculture, finance, economics, "the- three things that matter" Victoria Woodhull says, are fully represented, as well as the lighter side of life to which the students may feel disposed to turn In moments of relaxation. The club, Mrs. Woodhull expects, will go a long way towards solving the problem of the unmarried womarn who has. to support herself, which Is vexing England and other countries as well today. There Is no oc cupation more suitable for women, she maintains, than light agriculture, but at present the woman of culture who goes In for it is cut off from association with peo ple of her own rank in life and standard of education. She is often forced to live alone in a village where her only society Is that of the farm laborers and their fam ilies, who are good people enough, but whose mental horizon ia necessarily bounded by their education and oppor tunities. Tho result Is that the lady farmer soon finds herself sinking to their intel lectual level. She becomes a slave to her round of work and soon her outlook is confined, like that of her peasant neigh- --""'WJ' t"lM' -" '.ftff M bors, to the crops and the weather. The Women's Agricultural club will change all this by providing Just the society and the opportunities for Intellectual development and recreation which bind so many persons to the unhealthy and uneconomical life of the cities. AGNE9 WESTON. DUMA DISTURBED BY TALK Frof. MIlnkonT Creates a Storm b Ills Itecent Lecture in New York. ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. S.-The demon strations which took place In the duma yes terday against Prof. Paul Milukoff, leader of the constitutional democrats, ' arising from the ill feeling created by his recent lecture in New York on the political situa tion In Rus.sia, engrosses the attention of the entire press of this city, which today united in deploring an incident which tends to fan purtlsan enmity and endanger tho chances of the d Lima's success. The occurrences of yesterday probably will be followed by a formal resolution cen suring Prof. Milukoff for lack of patriotism and unparliamentary conduct in visiting a foreign country to stir up a sentiment Df hostility while occupying a responsible posi tion in Parliament. In some quarters Prof. Milukoff is ad vised to resign and seek vindication at the hands of his constituents, but this he has declined to do, and he had announced his Intention of insisting that the report on national defense, at which strategic ques tions will be discussed, be read at a closed j session of the duma.
