LONDON. July 15. 8peclal to The Bee.)
The Orangemen of Liverpool are chafing
under the resolution which they adopted
oft the termination, of the home office in
quiry into the sectarian disorders in the
city. They then agreed to limit tneir
street processions . to four In each year.
They had been having twelve. The re
striction has had a beneficial result, but
recently a spirit of aggressiveness mani
fested itself in the Orange ranks, and sev
eral collisions have occurred. This danger
to the publlo peace will now be Increased
for at a meeting of Orangemen recently
heia at Evertcm it was decided to rescind
the resolution which restricted the number
of Orange parades.
Men who claim power to work wonders
live at Maidstone, and fame has been
thrust upon them by the proceedings at
an Inquest held Into the death of a Mrs
Winn of Barmlng. Mrs. Winn, who died
from heart failure, had consulted a so
called scientist named Qranb Grant, called
as a witness, described himself as a human
X-Ray. He had been practicing about
nine months, he said, and could not exactly
explain his treatment. He simply held his
hand over a patient.
He went on to say: "I can cure any
disease anyone likes to put before mo. The
sclentltlo cure is hidden to the public, but
not to me." ,
"Do you get many patients?"
"About 100 a day; never less than fifty,
and I have had as many as 900." .
Further questioned, Grant said he never
'charged poor patients. His practice was
for every disease, but blindness, consump
tion, and cancer were the diseases he par
ticularly looked after. In consumption, if
V be took It at a certain state, he could tour
a case. He had grown a complete new eye
and lung, and had cured seven distinct
cases of total blindness.

A verdict of "death from natural causes"
was returned.
S Tories Have a New Bore.
The 8tandard says: " 'Gentlemen, the
king' are words familiar to Englishmen at
every kind of dinner of a publlo nature In
this country- It Is different at Irish na
tionalist gatherings of a public or semi
publlo kind. A dinner was given to the
colonial premiers in the House of Commons
by the Irish nationalists at which, in addi
tion to the premiers and a large number
of Irish members, Mr. Harcourt,, the sec
retsry of state for the colonies; Winston
Churchill, home secretary, and Colonel
Beely, under-secretary of state for war,
were preaent .
"John Redmond announced after the meal
that there would be no toasts nor speeches,
'This,' he said, 'Is in accordance with the
usage of our party and will be appreciated
by our guests.' Then the nationalist leader
thanked the colonies for giving a home to
so many thousands of his race. As the
company separated Thomas Condon, M. 1
sang 'God Save Ireland,' which was cho
rused with great enthusiasm. It has struck
some tory critics as strange that it did
not suggest Itself to any one at the meet
Ing, which was attended by three minis
ters of the crown, to sing 'God Save the
King.' "
Wasps mm Bank Deposits.
A war on wasps is being waged by the
. school children of Marden. Over 1.2tw
queen wasps have been killed by the chil
dren, who are paid by the Marden Fruit
Growers' association at the rate of one
penny for each wasp. The wasps are ac-
cepted by the schoolmaster as deposits In
the school bank, the value being placed to
the credit of the child depositors.
In applying at Marlborough street police
court for a reduction of ball in the case of
a valet named John Goodllffe, committed
for trial for wounding William Kent of
Livonia street, A. K. M. Samuel said the
accused was a man of good character and
was, in fact, "the only Englishman who
accompanied Dr. Cook to the pole.
The magistrate said no man had yet
reached the pole and it did not add to an
man's reputation to say he had been at or
even near the pole, so he Increased the
ball.
Kelr Harille, M. P., speaking at Derby re
cently, contrasted the women's procession
of a few days ago with the coronation
procession. In the latter there would be
no representative of Christianity, art,
science, trade and commerce, nothing but
the glorification of war. The" coronation
procession, with Its pomp and show
tinsel and pasteboard ceremony, was
planned without regard to the fact that
behind the barricades, behind the soldiers
that guarded the route, there was a swel
terlng mass of poverty that would disgrace
a savage nation. England, he declared,
a land of pretense and sham.

greatest delight to his majesty to be able
to go free and untrammelled on an au

spend a portion of the summer afloat on
their magnificent yacht, the Standart.
Usually their voyages are limited to
cruises In the .Baltic, the Gulf of Fin

Protestant Honored In Wexford.
At the annual meeting of the Wexford'
County council, C. H. Peacocks was elected
vice-chairman unanimously.
Mr. Peacocke, a Protestant, in returning
thanks, - said the action of the councU
in electing him cut the ground from un
derneath the feet of the opponents of
home rule, whose cry about the interests
of religion was more political than sec
tarian. The fact of the council electing
him from amongst the minority gave force
to the present movement in favor of leg
islation for the country, and not only
that, but It gave everyone to understand
the generosity of the majority toward the
minority.. It gave a stability to the na
tional movement, and he hoped all would
work together under the leadership of the
Irish party for the sake of the country.

large. . The most remarkable thing about
It Is, It is all one piece "of timber, appar
ently the trunk of a large tree, which was
carved and hollowed out with care and
gracefulness. It is in a good state of
preservation; although undoubtedly It
must have been In the bog for more than

The czar In early youth suffered a good
deal from Ill-health, shyness, and nerves.
His son seems to have Inherited the shy
ness, though luckily, not the ill health.
The czarina has been a constant Invalid
since her marriage, and her health was
not Improved by the difficulties 'and
dangers of her married life and the re
peated disappointments of her hopes for a
son. Her visits to Livadla and to Hesse
do not seem to have done her very much
good and she is often too weak to take

that a prolonged cruise with the czar In
the Gulf of Finland and adjacent waters
during the summer may effect some real

Danish Government Aids Fishermen

COPENHAGEN. July 16. (Special to The
Bee.) The Danish government, under the
direction of Its biological station at Copen
l.ugen, has begun an Interesting effort to
aid the fishermen of the Baltic by pre
venting the migration of eels from that sen
into the ocean. The means employed Is
barrier of light, formed by placing fifty
electrlo lamps along a submerged cable be
tween the island of Fano and the coast of
Funan. . The effectiveness of such a bar
rler depends upon the fact that the eels
migrate only during the dark hours. Ac
cordingly as soon as darkness begins I
the season of migration the lamps sre II
lumlnated and thus a wall of light Is In
posed from which the eels recoil. A similar
principle is said to have been employed
from time Immemorial by fishermen on
certain parts of the coast of Italy.

BERLIN. July 15.-(Speclal to The. Bee.)
The kaiser has now assumed a new role,
namely that of "the sledge-hammer of
heaven." "
In his recent speech made at the regatta
dinner at Brunsbuettelkoog, the kaiser
spoke significantly.
"The sledge-hammer of God," he said.
had been necessary to forge the steel of
German strength." The kaiser continued
that he was gratified to learn that in up
holding pcacs, he, too, had been able to
be of use to Hamburg and to German ship
ping. What the Hanseatio league had
striven for had only been attained when
behind trade and shipping stood the bul
wark of the new empire, above all a re
spect Inspiring German fleet." Since the
resurrection of the German empire peace
had been assured and, God willing, it would
remain so.
No Pardon for Spies.
The emperor refused to entertain the
suggestion that he should on the occasion
of the British coronation exercise his pre
rogative of mercy In the case of the naval
officers, Messrs. Brandon and Trench, at
present serving terms of fortress lmpris
onment in this country for espionage on
the German west coast, it Is added that
the proposal was put forward by a person
standing very near to" the monarch, but
not from an official quarter.
The idea that the coronation would be
suitable opportunity for passing the
sponge over the Borkum case was propa
gated by a portion of the English press
almost before the trial at Leipzig had
reached Its conclusion, and has since been
more than onoe revived by the same or
gans. In every- case It has met with vio
lent protests from the Pan-Germanlo Jour
nals,- which probably have done something
to prejudice consideration of the matter,
if It has really been brought up' in the
manner stated.
Germany Stands Pat on Morocco
A semi-official communication pronounces
the secret Franco-Spanish treaty of 1902
with regard to Morocco, published In a Paris
paper, to have "merely historical Interest."
The compensatory port, which the parties
proposed to lease to Germany, Is described
"at beet a pourboire, which would
hardly have been accepted."
Another paragraph, . evidently inspired
contradicts the statement of a Vienna
paper, that Russia had "taken a media
tory step in order to bring about a detente
on the Morocco question." It says;
"There has been no question whatever
of a mediatory step, as there is nothing to
mediate between Berlin and Paris with re
gard to Morocco. Just as little does the
present position of the Moorish question
provide an occasion for recalling Russia's
alliance obligations to France, and, as a
matter of fact, this has nof been done,
Both governments have received a com
munication as to French intentions In Mo
rocco, which, 'to our knowledge, were es
sentially Identical In purport, and were
accepted In both quarters with the same
confidence in the loyalty and sincerity of
the French government
Kaiser at Rowing; Races.
The kaiser put In an appearance as usual

with his young daughter at his side, who
was evidently enjoying herself much with
her five boy cousins Prince Ueorge of
Greece (who is In love with her), Prince
Alexander of Greece and three sons of
Prineees Frederlch Karl of Hesse. After
the races the winners were received on

was won by a Mayence club, as has been
the case three years In succession.

CALCUTTA. July 15.-(Spcclal ' to' The'

They found all the accused not guilty.
The government evidence was described as
not being reliable and the police spies
worthless and incredible. The assessors
say that the flamltl organization meant to
relieve helpless sufferers and promote
phvslcal culture.
The triaj opened at Dacca on August 18
last. The prisoners, who numbered forty-
wo, were charged with conspiring to wage
war against the king. At the beginning
of the proceedings the Dacca police re
ceived a parcel containing a human skull,
with written warnings that a high officer
would shortly be shot.
On the night of September 1, Police In
spector Ghoss, an Important witness In
the trial, was shot by two youths In a
dark lane near Daoca church. His assail
ants were tried In December, and the Jury
returned a verdict of not guilty.

Judgment. The Judge Is not bound to ac
cept the verdict of the two Bengali as

the Judges have hardly ever accepted the

Royal Company of Archers, King's
Scotch Bodrmard, an Exclusive
Ora-anlsatlon Woman Head
of a Clan.
BY LADY MARY MAN WARING.
LONDON. July 15. (Special to The Bee.)
All the girls In the empire feel Intensely
Interested, as Is only natural, In Queen
Mary's one little daughter. Princess Vic
toria Alexander Alice Mary, playfully
called "the little jubilee princess," the date
of her birth being April, 1897. She Is only
known by her last name and Is always
spoken of as Princess Mary simply, being
now 14, and as full of fresh, natural en
thusiasm and as fond of sports as her
brothers, to whom she Is devoted. She
has never cared at all ' for dolls and does
not even possess such a thing as a doll's
house, but this is often the case with an
only girl, ' - who . naturally shares her
brothers' Interests.
The little princess once asked her mother
the question, "Mother, what do you do
without toys?" And the queen's reply was.
"Children are the favorite toys of their
parents," an answer which sums up the
situation very neatly, if for the word
toys" we substitute that of "occupation,"
since Queen Mary's -whole attitude towards
her family partakes of that conscientious
and serious character which marks every
one of her actions, whether In public or
privste.
The appointment of the duke of Rox-
burghe to suoceed Sir David Dundaa as
one of the brigadiers of the Royal Com
pany of Archers recalls the fact that this
seml-mtlltary force Is one of the most
exclusive In Scotland, almost as exclusive
as the Knights of the Thistle the mem
bers forming the elite of Scottish society.
They are the king's bodyguard for Scot
land, their formation dating back to 1676.
In their quaint uniform of Lincoln green.
and with bows and arrows, they will pre
sent an imposing sight on the approaching
visit of the king to Edinburgh, when they
will have to' present him with the custom
ary "reddendo" of three barbed arrows.
The king will Inspect his bodyguard and
present them with new colors. The captain
general is the duke of Buccteauch, ' the
earl of Rosebery Is a captain, the earls
of Elgin snd Aberdeen are lieutenants, the
marquis of Tweeddale and the duke of
Abercorn are ensigns, the marquis of
Breadalbane, the duke of Richmond and
Gordon and the earl of Mar are among
the brigadiers, so that his majesty will be
well and nobly protected when he visits
the metropolis of Scotland.
The Clan Menxiea Is one of the oldest In
Scotland, and for long Its chief conformed
to the Gaelic mode of ruling his retainers
rather by patriarchal influence than upon
feudal principles. The last chief was Sir
Nell James Mensies, bart., who died not
long ago; and as he was the last of his
race on the male side the honor of chief -talness
comes to be possessed by the only
survivor of the family, Miss Egldla Char
lotte Menzles, sister of the late chief. In
Gallic the chief was styled "Menalrich."
It remains to be seen what the title of the
head of the clan wltl be. Unlike Helen
Macgregor, she will be able to walk abroad
without the necessity of wearing the clay
more of her sires, which rests in Castle
Menxles.
Lord Rosebery's complaint thaj the Eng
lishman's house is no longer his castle re
minds me of an amazing incident that
happened within my personal knowledge
only a few days ago.
A lady, orr her at-home day, was sud
denly confronted by two male callers, who
turned out to be bailiffs. They insisted on
entering, and declared that her husband, a
professional man, owed a large sum of
money on photographic apparatus.
The lady telephoned to her husband, who
at some Inconvenience had' to search out
the solicitors, and It was several hours
before the bailiffs were withdrawn. It
teems that the solicitors had simply looked
out the name of the debtor In a directory
and had dispatched the bailiffs under an
order of the court, without the slightest
.tempt at veriflcatl m.
The person who owed for the apparatus
was somebody quite different, yet It Is ex
ceedingly difficult to see what compensa
tion can be found for the great shock and
humiliation thus wantonly Inflicted on a
lady absolutely Innocent.

Impression Prevails that Germany is
the Backer of Austrian Plan for
Strong; Nary Poor Girl -'
Left a Fortune.
BY EMIL ANDRASSY.
VIENNA, July 15.-(Speclal to The Bee.)
Austria soon will have a navy which
must be reckoned with when the next line
up of powers Is considered. Its first
Dreadnaught, the- Vlribus Unltus, already
has taken the water; another will be
launched In November, a third Is on the
way and the contract has been let for the
fourth.
While this does not put Austria In the
front rank of naval powers In the present
state of naval strength in Europe, Its four
Dreadnaughts In 1915 wilt make It an ally
worth considering In any war for naval
supremacy.
It Is contemplated to build four more
great battleships as soon as possible, which
will give Austria a fleet of eight of as
fine warships as float the seas..
' It Is denied that Germany is financing
the Austrian naval program, but there Is
strong Impression in diplomatic circles that
the kaiser has assured the Vienna govern
ment that all the money needed can be
secured In Berlin and on favorable terms.
Fortane for Saleswoman.
A romantic story has Just become public
of the Inheritance of a fortune of $130,000
by Fraulein Wardyss, a poor girl em
ployed as saleswoman in a boot and shoe
shop in the small town of Kls UJsiaflas, in
Hungary. Among the customers of the
shop are Herr Croney, an elderly bachelor,
who often . expressed Indignation at the
small wage paid to the fraulein. Recently
he entered the shop, and after making
some small purchases told Fraulein
Wardyss he intended to make her heir to
all his property.
The fraulein laughed at what she thought
a joke, for the customer's clothes were
shabby and she thought him a poor man
"I really mean It." said Herr Croney, and
unfastening his shirt cuff, . he placed it
flat on the counter and, pulling out a foun
tain pen he wrote his will on It. This, he
called two apprentices to witness, and
then, putting the cuff Into his pocket he
left the shop. A few minutes later Herr
Croney, In making a violent effort to avoid
a motor car In the roadway, overstrained
his heart and fell dead. Next day Fraulein
Wardyss was informed that his estate,
amounting to $U,000, was at her disposal
-. Many Killed la Hlot.
During an election riot at Drohobycz, in
uallcla, the Infantry were called out and
fired on the crowd. No fewer thi n eight
een people were killed, and there are sixty-
five wounded In the hospital. The question
Is asked everywhere whether it was abso
lutely necessary to make such a brutal
use of firearms, and a strict Inquiry I
demanded as to whether the assertion
the Inhabitants of the town Is true, that
the crowd was not properly warned before
the five volleys were fired.

cafes were closed after the riot, and flags
were at half-mast on many business
houses. The troops continued to patrol

PARIS, July 13. (Special to The Bee.)
The fashionable beauties now surround
themselves with the ugliest servants pos
sible. Their constant companions are
hldeuous pets. One celebrated beauty has
engaged a dwnrf who Is described as hav
ing a tremendous head, a malevolent ex
pression and hardly any legs, and the lady
takes him out walking with her In order
that his ugliness will emphasise her beauty.
Other beauties are selecting equally unat
tractive foils and the fashion Is said to be
spreading Junt as rapidly as ugly servants
and pets can be found.
' Uses Knife on Girls
To contend that certain crimes happen In
cycles is no midsummer dream. This city
demonstrates this idea probably more so
than any other big city. For months
policemen will be victims of the criminal
element. Now It Is women.
The Metropolitan railway has become the
scene of dangerous assaults committed by
a man who Is evidently a monomaniac. A
girl of 19 years got Into the train and on
her arrival at the Etolle station was alight
Ing when she received, as she thought, a
severe blow from a man who was near her.
On reaching her home she discovered that
she was bleeding profusely. Bhe had to be
conveyed to a hoslptal. Later on she was
able to proceed to the police station for
the purpose of lodging a complaint, and
(here she found another young woman who
hud gone with the same object, as she had
been stabbed In the side, fortunately with
only slight effect. In ' each case the self
same Individual was to blame, as the two
descriptions ' of th monomaniac tallied.
These are but a few of the victims. Double
patrols of police have been placed at danger
points and plain clothes men are on the
lookout.
Fewer Female Servants.
It Is expected that the census will show a
great falling off in the number of servants.
and especially in that of bonnes a tout
falre. I give the name they go by because,
though they are employed as general ser
vants, they have little In common with th
British mold of all work. The bonne la in
variably of rustic origin. But one wonders
at the speed with which she assimilates
what Is Parisian and what this city re
quires of her.
In 1901 there were In France 637,623 bonnes
Innr fair Th nimlww hart rallnn In
1906 to 530,000. An of flclal ' connected with
the taking of the census tells me that he
expects to note when all the returns are
classified a still more Important reduction.
Watching Rich Shoppers.
United States treasury agents are a busy
lot In Paris right now. Wealthy Americana
who came over for the English coronation
are being watched by the force of detec
tives representing the American cutoms.
It is reported here that the large purchases
of pearls that have been made within the
last few days have been duly noted, and a
full description of the purchasers sent over
to Collector Loeb. The Precious Stones
importers' association of America; Which
Is working in conjunction with the govern,
ment,' Is determined that none of these
pearls or any other gems shall be smuggled
through without the duty being paid.
Surgeon Shot Dotvn.
; The Hotel Dleu, the great hospital of
Purls, was the scene of a terrible crime.
Dr. Ouinard, the chlrif surgeon, had just
visited his patients and has descended to
the hall door. On reaching the door tbe
professor was detained by a nurse in con
nectlon with one of the cases, when a man
fired four shots at him. All the bullets
took effect, and the professor sank back
terribly Injured. Dr. Gulnard was carried
back Into the hospital. The man Is a
Spaniard named Canadldo Ilerrero. who a
year ago was received Into the hospital,
where the chief surgeon performed a ser
ious operation on him. Ilerrero seems to
have been convinced that the operation was
not necessary, and he was heard to declare
on more than one occasion that the doctor
hud put him to useless suffering.
"The doctor," he said, "carved me In a
horrible way, and I have more than once
tried to kill him." The man seems to be
