LADY ANGELA NONPLUSSED Colonel Forbes Refuses to Live With Actress Wife Who Yearned for the Comforts of Home for Many Years. LONPON. Dec. 1. (Special.) The heroine of the latest society divorce case Is Lady Anjrela Forbes, sister of the Countess of Warwick, the Duchess of Sutherland, and Lord Rosslyn. Lady Angela Is popular as an amateur act ress, and is also well known in America. The Edinburgh Court of Session granted her her freedom after hearing her story, to which her husband. Col onel James Stewart Forbes, made no defense. They had been married ten years, and for four years he had re fused to live with her. "At first," said Lady Angela, "our married life was fairly happy, and then the relations between my husband and myself became rather strained. While in South Africa, during the war, my husband wrote home proposing to execute a deed of separation, and on his return he refused to occupy the came room with me." "For two years we lived more or less under the same roof, but never occu pied the same room. Occasionally he visited me in my Hat in London, but always on this understanding. "In 1003 I visited America, with my husband's consent, and stayed with a woman friend who had gone to live there. On my return I cabled to my husband to meet me at Liverpool but this he failed to do. "Afterwards- my husband went abroad, but after his return to Eng land his visits ceased altogether. Nor could I get any effect by writing to him. Replying to one of my letters, he refused to come and live with me, say ing, 'I have made up my mind not to live under the same roof with you. But please don't let us quarrel about it.' "That was his position all along al though he would not treat me as his wife, he saw no reason for making a public quarrel. He would give abso lutely no reason for his conduct, al though throughout the whole course of the. separation I have been trying to get him to resume our former rela tions." The four years' desertion was suffi cient in Scottish law to obtain a decree of divorce, and Lady Angela was not obliged to prove absolute infidelity on the Colonel's part, as would be neces sary in the English divorce court. For this reason Lady Angela's residence was given as Balfour, Markinch, Fife shire, and Colonel Forbes' as'Aslown, Aberdeenshire, although they had never settled down at . either of Colonel Forbes' Scottish seats, but lived - In London and at hunting-boxes In Eng land.

PARIS, Dec 1. (Special.) The first suc cessful balloon voyage over the Alps has been accomplished by two business men of Milan, Slgnor Celestino Usuelli and Signor Crespi, who are enthusiastic aero ' nauts. The balloon Milano started from the exposition area at Milan, filled to only three-fifths of its capacity to allow for expansion of the gas in rarefied air, and carrying a very light car. At a hight of 15.000 feet the thermom eter registered 39 degrees of frost Fahren heit, and the aeronauts donned heavy gloves and covered their faces with wool en masks. The balloon waa flying along at an immense speed, while the rarefied atmosphere made their hearts beat vio lently, their pulses counted 130 a minute, and there was an inconvenient buzzing in their ears. To remdy this they inhaled oxygen from their stores. They were now over the great Apennine range, the backbone of Italy, while ahead of them lay the magnificent panorama of the Alps. Describing the scene when the balloon was over the Monte Rosa group, at an altitude of 21,000 feet, Slgnor Usuelli says: "From this height we had an extraordi nary vision of the earth's spherical form. The curve of the horizon seemed to be precipitated over an appalling bottomless abyss With a slant of 45 degrees, and wo enjoyed the illusion of a hemisphere as seen from a sidereal vantage ground. Flinging out sand, we found ourselves 'speding towards Mont Blanc at a fright ' ful rate. The barometer marked 21,080 feet. Our sand, being somewhat damp, froze to hard blocks inside the sacks." After crossing the highest peaks, the balloon descended on French territory. WILL NAME NO NEW CARDINALS Pope Decides That Existing Vacan cies Shall Not Be Filled. PARIS, Dec 1. (Special.) At the con sistory, which will be held in Rome on December 6, it has been practically de cided that no new cardinals will be cre ated. There are at present 14 vacancies in the Sacred College, so the pope's de cision not to fill some of 'them now has created considerable surprise. The real reason of it is this: There are a number of ecclesiastics who, according to the old custom hitherto followed, would have a kind of right to be created cardinals. Pius X wishes to abolish all such pretended rights he does npt want to make any man a cardinal who has not shown special ability and done special service to the church. He prefers, there fore, not to create any cardinals at ail for the moment rather than to hurt the sensibility of those who would be doomed to disappointment. Speaking this week to a prelate who is WHY HUSBAND LEF on inttmateterms with him, the pope de clared that he was fully resolved to re duce the number of cardinals who live in Rome from 30 to 18, and to increase the number of cardinals in the rest of the Catholic world. The question of the cardinalate for Archbishop Farley is only delayed. It may be taken for certain that New York will he specially honored In this way by the pope in time for the .solemn conse cration of the St. Patrick's Cathedral, in 1908., BRUTAL MURDER ON TRAIN Capital Crimes In Germany May Re sult in Adoption of American Cars. BERLIN, Dec. 1. (Special.) A railroad murder of a kind impossible on an Amer ican train has been committed on a sub urban train near Hamburg. The mur derer managed to kill the only other pas senger in the little compartment in the three minutes' interval between two sta tions. In consequence of this crime and its ex posure of the danger of the compartment system, the Kaiser has suggested that changes should be made In the Prussian state railroads. The result may be the introduction of the American car through out the system. The victim in this tragedy was a dent ist. Dr. Clausgen, who was followed into a second-class car by Thomas Ruecker, an unemployed gardener. While Dr. Claus gen was reading, Ruecker attacked him with an ax and had killed and robbed him before the train stopped at the next sta tion, three minutes later. Such crimes as these, which are becom ing more frequent in Europe, are a pow erful argument for making the American kind of passenger car universal. . ; , KAISER A POT HUNTER. Emperor AVllhelm Shoots His Game Froin Ambush. BERLIN. Dec. 1. (Special.) This is the season of the Kaiser's big battues among the game preserves of the great German landowners. As the guest of some sport ing nobleman. His Majesty loves to kill as many head of game as he can with as little trouble or real sport as he can.

And the spot where he kills his thousandth or ten thousandth pheasant is now marked with a memorial stone in scribed with the fact and date. According to the court chroniclers, the Kaiser is a perfect shot, as he ought to be when it is all made so easy for him. TRIES TO "TIP" AN M. P. j Amusing Story Is Told of a Yankee Abroad. LONDON.

There la reason to fear that Dr. Lapponi private physician to Pope Plus X as he was for 13 years to the late Leo XIII, cannot live much longer. He is a victim of cancer of the stomach and the doctors have relin guished the hope of being able to per form an operation. Still Dr. Lapponi continues to visit Pope Pius twice a week officially. In fact, his assiduous atten tion keeps alive the idea that the Pope himself is not well.

STOLE WITH SOLDIERS' AID "Captain von Coepenick's" Trial Draws Crowd in Germany. BERLIN. Dec. 1. The trial of Wilhelm Volgt, rendered famous In Germany as "Captain von Coepenlck," owing to his bold robbery of the treasury of Coepenick and the arrest of the Burgomaster of that town October 16, with the assistance of a number of soldiers who had been imposed upon by Voigt, began today before a large crowd. Application for tickets to the court had been received from all over Germany and even from foreign coun tries. Much amusement was caused when nine grenadiers. in strict military order, marced into the room as witnesses against the prisoner. Voigt answered the Judge's questions unreservedly, narrating the history of hie life without dramatic embellishment and told a straightforward story of the Coepenick affair in an unas suming manner. An interesting fact brought out was that Voigt years ago made use of an expres sion which led to his capture, having remarked to a fellow prisoner while in the penitentiary where he was tinder sen tence: "With a few soldiers one could do a fine job." This prisoner, after hearing of ths ABSOLUTE SATISFACTION OR MONEY CHEERFULLY REFUNDED SAML Cor. 1 Copyright 1906 by Hart Schaffher Marx Coepenick affair, informed the police of Voigt'3 remarks, which fastened suspi cion upon the latter.

COSTS NOTHING TO TRY The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers save us our dally dose of sulphur and molasses every spring and fall. It was the universal spring and fall "blood purifier," tonic and cure-all, and, mind you, this old-fahloned rem edy was not without merit. The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity had to be taken to get any we get all the beneficial effects of Bulphur in a palatable, con centrated form, so that a single grain Is far more effective than a table spoonful, of the crude sulphur. In recent years research and expert1 ment have proven that the best sul phur for medicinal use is that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium Wafers. They are small chocolate coated pellets and con tain the active medicinal principle of sulphur In a highly concentrated, ef fective form. Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sulphur acts directly on the liver and excretory organs and purifies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material. Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and mo lasses every spring and fall, but the crudity and impurity of ordinary flow ers of sulphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Wafers, is undoubtedly the best and most widely used. ' They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure con stipation and purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and physician alike. i Dr. R, M. Wilkins, while experiment ing with sulphur remedies, soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form. He says: "For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especially when resulting from consti pation or malaria, I have been sur prised at the results obtained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers. In patients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles, I have repeatedly seen them dry up and dis appear in four or live days, leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium Wafers is a proprie tary article and sold by druggists and for that reason tabooed by many physi cians, yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation, liver and kidney troubles and especially in all forms, of skin diseases as this remedy. At any rate people who are tired of pills, cathartics and so-called blood "purifiers" will find in Stuart's Calcium Wafers, a far safer, more palatable and effective preparation.
