The corsets are crafted with nu merous gores and cut on curving bias lines.

WHATOLD WORLD TALK NG T Interesting Gossip and Events in the Capitals of Europe. HOAX ON POMPOUS DEPUTY Belgian Legislator In Besieged by Would-Be Pilgrims to Jerusalem. Vienna Dressmakers' Shops Dens of Secret Vice. BRUSSELS. Aug. 4. All Belgium is laughing about a hoax perpetrated on a somewhat haughty newspaper of Arlon. The editor of the paper is also the mem ber of the district to the State Legisla ture, and a very pompous man. He re cently received a remarkable letter on crested paper and signed by a countess. The letter stated .that, following the death of her husband, one of the best known and wealthiest of Belgian noble men, her eldest son had also died. Fear ing that something might happen to her remaining son, now 11 years old, she had decided, being a very devout woman to. send a pilgrimage to the Holy Sepul chre In Jerusalem to pray for her son's health. Eleven earnest young men were to go, one to represent each year of her son's age. She would give the pilgrims a complete outfit and traveling expenses of J1000 each. The journey both ways was to be made on foot. On their return lach pilgrim would be given $4000. The letter went on to state that six of the pilgrims had already been chosen, but that the remaining Ave had been, appor tioned to the legislator's district, and he was requested to nominate them. The letter was filled with praise of the legis lator and his ability to make good choices. On its receipt he became haughtier than ever. He published the letter In full, with much added bombast, and It created a tremendous sensation throughout the district. On the day ap pointed for his selection of candidates, some 5000 presented themselves. The leg islator was prouder than ever at this showing, and started to examine the whole 5000. , As this would have taken a month, and would have entailed great hardships on a good many of the candidates, the Jok ers revealed the secret,' and In rival pa pers and by means-of handbills revealed that the whole affair" was a hoax. But their identities they have not revealed. ONLY DRESSMAKERS AS BLIND Vienna Women Who Pander to Vices of Wicked Old Men. (Special Cabin to the Central News and Th Oregronlan. ) .- VIENNA, Aug. 4. A commission has been appointed to inquire into the charges made against the police and dressmaking establishments! of this city by the "Ex trablatt." The newspaper has given the authorities absolute proof In several cases. Great interest has been created throughout Austria by the revelations. It has often been said by men who know Vienna that all the vice of New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Berlin, London and Paris, combined and concentrated, would not be more than a drop in an ocean compared with the vice of Vienna. It has often been called the wickedest city in the world. The "Extrabiatt's" revelations show that many ; of the modistes' establish ments, which catered in clothes to the wives, catered to the husbands with white slav.es, girls of tender years, who were apprenticed and became absolute prisoners. They were debauched in every imaginable way by old men. The news paper also charges that some of the fash ionable dressmakers had private rooms where lady customers were furnished, in true Oriental ' style, - with cigarettes, liquors and wines, and lovers, both male and female. - The investigation promises to prove such a scandal that Influence may be brought to bear on the commission to hear all in camera, and not to proceed on more than one case unless such case Is not proved. As many aristocratic women and old men are involved, this course will probably prevail. FINALLY PAYS AX OLD DEBT Sultan Settles 88 Years After Judg ment Was Secured. VIENNA, Aug. 4. Turkey has actually paid a claim in full, 88 years after judg ment had been secured. Those who know the Sublime Porte well, laughingly declare that this constitutes a record in quick payments. The story of the case is interesting. In 1818 a Venetian ship, owned and com manded by Captain Florio, was captured by a Turkish squadron, under suspicion of having contraband of war for the Hel lenic insurgents. The captain was put in prison in Constantinople. After two years of diplomatic demands, Turkey re leased the man from jail and returned his ship to him. The captain found it in ter rible condition, and his valuable cargo had absolutely disappeared. . He claimed damages, and with extraordinary perti nacity pushed his case, with the help of the Austrian government. About ten dif ferent courts heard his case, and finally. in 1851, he was given judgment against the Sultan. Shortly afterwards he died. leaving instructions to his heirs to pursue the affair to tne end. The litigation has Just ended. The Ot toman government agreed to pay $300,000 to the heir. Admiral Florio, of the Aus trian navy. The Admiral, however, died two days before the settlement, and his son received the money. If Turkey had known of the Admiral's death before the money left Constantinople, it would have taken a good many more years for the son to prove his title to the claim. ADAM SENTENCED TO LIVE French Minister Refuses to Guillo tine Him at His Request. PARIS. Aug. 4. The government has de cided the Adam puzzle, and has respited him. ana ine sentence or death will be changed into penal servitude for 20 years. Adam, It win be remembered, is the con vict who, like many others, was sen tenced to death in Paris for murder. But the guillotine is no longer used in Paris. and the death sentence is practically only a formality. All a condemned prisoner does is to sign a petition asking that the sentence bo commuted to imprisonment for life, and this is done. Adam refused to sign any petition, and demanded to be guillotined. The Minister of Justice was in a quandary. It was against the unwritten law of the past few years to put a man to death in Paris,' and he did not want the bother of finding a guillotine and a place to erect It. After puzzling over the matter for a couple of weeks, he decided to commute the sen tence without the formality of a personal petition. So he Issued a simple proclama mation, and the puzzle is solved. Adam objects strongly, and declares it a shame. SPOOK CHASES LITTLE GIRL Rattles and Smashes Crockery and Makes Her HI With Fear. LONDON, Aug. 4. The cottage spook has made its appearance In Hampshire, in the little village of Yately. The mani festations hover around an 8-year-old girl, and she is terrified almost out of her wits. The spirit has been chased and hunted for a week by amateur epook-chas-ers, but nothing has come of it. The mystery has occurred in the rustic one-story cottage of Ben Gough, gardener to the squire of the parish. Gough has lived in the same four-roomed cottage for 22 years, without any trouble of any sort. His wife and 8-year-old grandchild, Nellie Benham, live with bim. The girl has lived with her grandfather for two or three years. One night, suddenly, the pic tures on the walls began swaying, vases on the mantel and crockery on the side board began dancing a Jig. Then every thing breakable fell to the floor in pieces. The child was In bed. She was awakened by a picture falling on .her feet, and by mysterious rappings. She was terrified. Next day the same thing happened to glassware and other things, and Mrs. Gough hurriedly removed everything breakable to a neighbor's. The raps continued to follow the little girl about all day and part of the night. She is getting ill from the fright she has experienced. The rappings do not trouble other people, and only are heard when the girl is alone. Crowds of people have visited the cottage, but if the" spook business continues much longer the Goughs are going to move. BORN OX SAME DAY AND HOUR Miller's Family Sees Light Coinci dent With Royalty. BERLIN. Aug. 4. The Crown Prince of Germany has sent $100 and a silver cup to the -child of Miller Mllewski. of Wel lingdorf, near Kiel, who was born at the. exact hour and day on which the new royal baby of Germany saw the light. Milewski was born on the same day as the Crown Prince and married the eame day. The remarkable coincidence. goes back to the Kaiser and Milewski's father, for both were also borri on the same day. Germany is wild with, delight over the royal babe, and picture postcards of the Kaiser with the baby on his knee have aold by hundreds of thousands. The pic ture postcards were published the day after the baby was born, and a full week before the Kaiser saw his little grand son, but- the German public do not mind little things like that. There -will be soma- forty godfathers and mothers of the royal babe. President Roosevelt will be asked to stand as one of the godfathers. LOXDON DOWIEITES DISRUPT Split Into Two Factions, Only Seven , Remaining Faithful. LONDON, Aug. 4. 9o far as the London followers of "Profit" bowie of Chfcago are concerned, they can see their finish In other words, Zion is "busted" In Lon don. The tabernacle in the Euston road is to let. Collections stopped at the time of the Dowie exposure some months ago, and have been very indifferent ever since. The tabernacle was found too expensive. and so it was given up and the Dowie con gregation moved into a cheaper hall. Here the band broke Into, two factions, the larger of which changed its name to "Evangelistic Missionaries." About .seven are sticking to the name of Zion. . They have returned to the former tabernacle. and have succeeded in renting a small room at the back, which is now the head quarters of Zion in England, though it Is a question how long it will be. for. unless the Zlonltes hurry up with the rent their headquarters will be in their hats. ALL WANT TO HEAR O'CONNOR Irish Patriot's American Tour Will Be Triumphal Progress. LONDON. Aug. 4. The trip of T. P. O'Connor to the United States this Fail may be changed, as regards the personnel of the party.

A new pet has been adopted by society. It is the crane. Snakes, lizards and harmless reptiles of all sorts have had their day as the freak pets of fashionable women, and the crane has now made Its appearance. According to dealers, the bird is liable to remain for a long time queen of pets. The "Demol sell Crane" is a pretty bird, and looks very well in the garden. They are about two feet high, lavender-colored, with black throats. They have charming red eyes, and are very tame. They stalk about the garden, their long bills ferreting out the -worms among the grass and leaves. The cranes are now very scarce in town; for when once the craze started all the available stock was snapped up. GARTERS FOR LADIES' CLOVES Golden Circlets oil Fair Forearms Are Now the Fad. LONDON.

GRAFTER FOUND IN S CABINET KAISER Agricultural Minister Smirched by South African Scandal. SHIELDED BY GOVERNMENT Largest Stockholder in Company Ac cused of Bribing Commissary and Bitterest Enemy of American Importers to Germany. CHICAGO, Aug. 4. (Special.) "Grafting in high places," which has been pointing the metaphorical finger of scorn at America by Germany and newspapers in Germany, has finally returned as a boom erang to the confusion of people in high places in the fatherland, according to the cablegram from the correspondent Of the Chicago Daily News, which says: "General Prodbielskl, Russian Minister of Agriculture, who ranks as America s arch-enemy in Germany, is gradually be coming the center of Interest in the Col onial Department graft scandal. Public indignation with reference to this scan dal is increasing hourly owing to the Gov ernment's stuboorn refusal to make any sort of official announcement, althougli the arrest of Major Fischer, who Is ac cused of accepting bribes, took place a fortnight ano. "General Prodbielskl is the Czar of the agrarian element which la responsible for the Fatherland's long-continued hostility to American agricultural products, cur tailing Chicago's two greatest exports meats and farming implements. The Minister's wife is the owner of forty per cent of the stock of the contracting com. pany suspected of corrupting Major Flclier. When he entered the Kaiser's Cabinet, Podbielski, It is generally known, transferred his holdings to his wife's name, but has continued to represent them and has taken an active part in directing the firm. Your correspondent learns that General I'odblelskl's name figured conspicuously in the disclosures that led up to Major Fischer's arrest. "Public opinion la demanding that his connection with the scandal shall be mer cilessly exposed. He has little popular Bympathy, particularly among the work ing classes, as1 he is responsible for the exclusion of the cheap Russian and Aus trian meat products- during the' last year, which has caused a wholesale consumption-of horse, cat and dog flesh in Ger many." .... .. ..- LOST PRECIOUS . MANUSCRIPT American Globe-TroKers Win Suit Against French Railroad. PARIS, Aug. 4. Mr. and Mrs. Madison Durant, American citizens, have Just re ceived a verdict of $1!S0 against the North ern Railroad of France. The case brought out some interesting facts. It appears that the Durants are an adventurous and enterprising couple and great travelers. In search of adventure, they went to Mexico, and there became very friendly with the President and leading members of the Mexican government. They were appointed on a special mission by the government to search for objects of art, which Mexico proposed to send to the Paris Exposition. It was a mission of adventurous exploration, and when the explorers finished their tusk, they wrote a book about their experiences, entitled "The Golden Age in Mexico." The government had agreed to publish the work, but was so slow about it that the Durants decided to have it done them selves In Paris. Two years ago a hand bag which contained tne precious manu script was lost in a train near Boulogne. The railroad declined to pay compensa tion, so suit was brought for JWO. Tho trial has Just been finished, and while the Americans .are victors, the court decided that they showed contributory careless ness, and In consequence chopped $300 off the claim.' ' Snarl About Tripoli's Boundary. PARIS, Aug. 4. Strained relations have arisen between France and Turkey over the frontier of Tripoli, adjacent to the French Sahara. Turkish troops recently occupied the disputed territory, on the ground of Turkey's suzerainty over Trip oli. France's protest was Ineffective, the Turkish Ambassador here today receiving instructions to maintain the Turkish claims. The officials here do not expect the affair to assume serious dimensions, although the attitude of both sides mo mentarily is very firm. Turkey's activity i interpreted as being further evidence of Mussulman opposition , to European preponderance in North Africa. Prepare for Lust Act of Disunion. CHRISTIANIA, Aup. 4.
