OPEN SATURDAY EVENINGS UNTIL NINE O'CLOCK "NO RENT TO PAY, THAT'S WHY WE SELL FOR LESS KAISER PLANS TO VISIT JERUSALEM Presence Will Lend Glory to Opening of Kaiserin's Home for Pilgrims. SULTAN ALSO MAY ATTEND German Ruler's Invitation Hardly to Bo Declined, Though Abdul Ha mld Is in Mortal Fear When Outside His Own Palace. BERLIN, July 4. (Special.) The old city of Jerusalem is to be honored with a visit from the Kaiser and Empress and although it will be nearly two years before the start will be made the Kaiser has already begun to plan the details. The ruler of the German empire will not go to Palestine as an humble pil grim, as did many of his forefathers, he will be driven by no desire to pray in the church of the Holy Sepulchre, but will go as a mighty monarch who wants to lend glory to the solemn opening of the Home for Pilgrims founded by the Empress and bearing her name. This opening is to take place some time dur ing the spring of 1910. When the cornerstone of the building was laid on March 31, last year, the Im perial couple were represented by the Court Chaplain. Dr. Dryander, and Baron von Mirbach, who was the personal rep resentative of the Kaiserin. The cere mony took place In the presence of the Governor of Jerusalem and a representa tive of the Sultan of Turkey of whose empire the province of Palestine is a part. It was quite impressive, -but far from enough so to satisfy the Kaiser and he therefore wants to throw splen dor upon the dedication of the Home by his personal presence and will endeavor to induce the Sultan to come, too, though it is more than doubtful if he will succeed in this, for Abdul Hamid dreads to leave Ylldiz Kiosk and fears for his life as soon as he is outside the palace walls. The Kaiser, on the other side, has too often proved a friend In need to the ruler of the faithful and his wish cannot easily be slighted. Qui vivra, verra! MARTYR TO HIS VANITY French Scientist Describes Strange Case of Morbid Mentality. PARIS, July 4. (Special.) A curious sort 'of vanity was described at the meeting of the French Academy of Medicine on Thursday, when Professor Deulafoi dialled the case of a mam who for over two years had been afflicted with ulcerous sores, which broke out on both arms. The patient consulted over a dozen physicians and tried many varieties of treatment, without relief. Finally he submitted to the amputation of his left arm above the elbow. Some Improvement' followed, but later the sores made their appearance with greater frequency than ever. He was then admitted to fhe Hotel Dieu and placed under Professor Deulafol's care. After keeping1 the patient under close observation for some time, the profes sor declared the patient to be a. simu lator. The man admitted that he had been in the habit of producing sores with caustic potash, and had kept up the fraud for two years and a half. Professor Deulafoi explains the case as one of morbid mentality, in which the victim is irresistibly Impelled to disfigure himself in order that he may become interesting and an object of Pity. SINGS SONGS OF ROYALTY Miss Alys Lorraine Gives Remark able Recital in London. LONDON, July 4. (Special.) Royal compositions formed the entire pro gramme of a song recital given here by Miss Alys Lorraine, the well-known op eratic singer. Every song she sang was composed by an emperor, king, queen, prince, princess or reigning duke ranging in date from Henry VIII to the present Kaiser Wilhelm. Three songs composed by "Bluff King Hal," opened the concert followed by one by King Charles I. Then Miss Lor raine sang a cavatina by King Anthony the Good, of Saxony, a song by his rela tive Princess Louisa, a song by Henri IV, of Navarre and one by the unhappy Queen Marie Antoinette. The Kaiser's "Sang an Aegir" began the second part of the concert which also included two compositions by Duke Ernest II, of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and three works by his brother the prince consort of the late Queen Victoria, of England. The concert ended with four ballads composed by Princess Henry, of Battenberg. CZAR TO VISIT ENGLAND AVill Occupy King's Beautiful Home at Norfolk. LONDON. July 4. (Special.) The Czar of Russia has announced his intention of visiting England this Fall, and will stay for some time at Sandrlngham. The King's beautiful Norfolk home is being specially prepared for the Queen's nephew, who will come accompanied by the Czarina and all his children. How long the Czar is to stay in Eng land has not yet been decided, but he will take part In a week's shooting over the splendid Sandrlngham preserves and most likely the Imperial family will re main here long enough to be present at the celebration of King Edward's birth day, in November. DEFENDS QUEEN'S HONOR Chivalrous Frenchman Challenges Detractor of Amele of Portugal. PARIS. July 4. (Special.) That Frenchmen are ho less chivalrous to day than they were in the times when knights were bold has just been proved by M. Breitmayer. the famous swords man and fencing master, who having recently been presented to Queen Ame lie, of Portugal, by birth a princess of Orleans, found it his duty to bare his sword in defense of her honor. - In the "Action" there has recently appeared a serial story which under the guise of fiction dealing with Portu guese life made scurrilous attacks against the Queen of that country who is greatly beloved in France because of her heroism (she saved several 'per sons from drowning at the risk of her own life). ' The author was a certain Portuguese writer Senor Albaynergue, who had been expelled from his native country because of his anarchistic ten dencies. M. Breitmayer wrote to the author calling hm a disgraceful coward for his attack upon a woman and the letter was published In the Paris papers. Th6 writer who had always posed as a man who did not know fear replied that he would challenge M. Breitmayer and if the latter should refuse he would horse whip him in the street and 'shoot him down like a dog. The challenge never came, "however, and when M. Brietmayer sword in hand tried to find the Portuguese at his apartments he had disappeared and the rest of the serial will never appear. CZAR PARDONS II REBEL ACTS OX HIS OAVN INITIATIVE IX REMARKABLE CASE. Beneficiary Soldier, Who Was Shot as Traitor During Baltic Revolt, - . but Not Killed. ST. PETERSBURG, July, 4. (Spe cial ) Although the Russian Senate Court of Appeals refused to present a petition for a pardon. Czar Nicholas has on his own initiative pardoned an ex-soldier, Lust, who, after being legal ly dead for two years, showed up again and was sentenced to two years hard labor in the Siberian mines. During the revolt of 1905 in the Baltic prov inces Lust was sentenced to death by court-martial. The next day he was taken out for execution, a platoon of his comrades firing a volley at him as he stood against a tree. Incredible as it may .seem. Lust, with 12 bullets in his body, was not mortally .wounded. Fortunately for him, the soldiers dial not wait to bury him, and after a long while, when the faintness caused by loss of blood had to some extent passed away, he was able to crawl to a hut near by. His condition was des perate, for his wounds were of a ter rible character, but the old woman who was the sole occupant of the hut was an excellent nurse, and tended him with the greatest devotion. For many months Lust lay between life and death and for two years he was unable to leave the hut, during which time the old woman successfully guarded her secret. At last he was able to go out, but was immediately recognized by the local police, who ar rested 'him. The court of Justice be fore which he rwas brought sentenced him to two years' penal servitude, with a recommendation for mercy in view of his great sufferings. The board of pardons having refused to act, the poor man was about to be deported to Siberia, when the case was privately brought to the attention of the Czar and a pardon followed. HARVEST YANKEE DOLLARS EXGLISH TOWXS GIVE PA GEANTS FOR TOURISTS. Four Historic Cities Present Gor geous Spectacles Based on In cidents of Middle Ages. LONDON, July 4. (Special.) "Pa geantitis," in other words, a desire to get hold of American dollars by ar ranging pageants for the benefit of American visitors, has a firmer hold upon England than ever. The number of historic towns that are having pa geants this year isfour, including one London suburb. . London itself had ar ranged to have a pjgeant wfiich was to have been the greatest of all, but it has been postponed until next Summer, so as not to interfere with the success of the Franco-British exposition. Dover and Winchester two ancient towns whose history goes ' far back Into the dim ages are having pageants In which the many historical incidents connected with tnem will be repro duced. Pevensey, in Sussex, with its ruined Norman castle and memories of the great battle of Hastings has also a pageant on a smaller scale. An unus ual feature of the Dover show will be that one episode will be spoken In French, written by Louis Tiercelin, the noted French poet. . It shows the meet ing of Charles I with his French bride, Henrietta Maria. - . Chelsea, the picturesque, artistic su burb on the Thames is another pageant town this year. The borough is rich in associations with Sir Thomas Moore, Charles II and Nell Gwynne, and com ing to the nineteenth century with Turner, Carlyle and Rosetti. KING REPELS AN INVASION Victor Emanuel Staves Off Visit of Wife's Poor Relations. ROME, July 4. (Special.) King Vic tor Emanuel, who is not on the best of terms with his wife's relatives, has neatly got the best of them In a little scheme devised to Invade Rome. Queen Helena's brothers and sisters the Mon tenegrin princes and princesses have made the king very tired by their fre quent visits to this city where they ran up long bills and left him to settle. Recently several members of the princely Montenegrin family discovered that their teeth needed attention and decided that no dentist but Dr. Webb, the American who looks after the teeth of the Italian royal family, would be good enough, so they planned another visit to Rome. King Victor Emanuel -happened to hear of it and immediately ordered Dr. Webb to go to Montenegro and attend the princely patients at their own home. In this way he very cleverly spoiled the plans of his sisters and brothers-in-law who had intended to spend several weeks in Italy. SOCIETY THUGS SHOCK mm y Sons of Wealthy German Fam ilies Turn Out to Be Skill ful Burglars. rHIRTY HELD FOR TRIAL Scandal Shocks Upper Crust of Se date German Capital One Friend or Kaiser Is Caught in Dragnet. BERLIN, July 4. (Special.) The ar rest of a number of young men all be longing to the most prominent families of the city accused of being common burglars has created an Imense sensa tion here. The most heroic efforts are being made to have the matter hushed up, but the authorities refuse to listen and In a very few days the socially prominent criminals will have to plead. That they will plead not guilty Is cer. tain, but the police are sure to have more than proofs enough to convict at least a dozen of them. tFor some time past the police had been baffled by a series of mysterious burglaries which bore evidence of not having been committed by the usual class of burglars. Several persons who were suspeoted of being implicated were shadowed and at last a number of very expensive panama hats of a grade worn only by people of means gave the po lice a clew to work on. A number of arrests were made with the greatest caution that tha various members of the gang should not be able to warn each other and at last more than 30 young men all belonging to socially prominent families were behind the bars. . - Son of Millionaire. One of the accused, who it is said has promised to turn Informer if promised immunity, is the son of a millionaire manufacturer who is often invited to court festivities and who is quite popu lar with the Kaiser. The young man says he was prompted to steal because the pocket money given him by his father would not suffice to pay for his passions for women and wine. He was seen squandering money almost nightly in music halls and variety theaters, but as his family was known to be immense ly wealthy no one suspected him of get ting the money in a dishonorable man ner. His offer to turn King's evidence will not be accepted and If convicted he will have to take his punishment. Another sensational case which is now before the Criminal Court is the trial of a young man of 20 who has confessed to having killed his own father, the For ester Schwarzenstein, in January last. The defense is temporary Insanity. Traced by Bloodhounds. In the night between the 22d and 23d of January last the old forester was found shot dead near his residence In the Mueggelseeforest. At first it was thought he had been killed by a poacher he had surprised, but bloodhounds which were employed took the detectives to the murdered man's own house, where the young man had been, home alone on the night of the murder. At first he swore he was innocent, but third-degree methods wore him out, and when he was asked to swear to his in nocence with his hand on his father's mprtal wound, he broke down and con fessed. As motive of the murder he said that his father had refused to give him money to spend in dissipation. MAKES BIRD THAT FLIES French Inventor Thinks He Has Solved Problem of Aeroplane. PARIS, July 4. (Special.) M. Marcel Deprez, member of the Institute do France, has invented an aluminum bird which rises against the wind and stays in the air without being sustained by any mechanical device. M. Deprez ex plains that his experiment was entirely based upon his observation of an eagle rising against the wind and soaring aloft without any motion of its wings. The solution, he adds, is very simple. The aluminum bird consists of two . planes, one large and almost horizon tal, and another smaller and almost vertical, resembling In shape a visiting Card With One nl hpnt hnxU Thl. minum sheet Is inclined slightly against me Horizontal. a current air some what ascendant in direction is brought to bear against it, and the metal bird rises and remains suspended In the air. As soon as it can be practically ap plied M. Deprez thinks this invention will greatly simplify aeronautics and will, moreover, mean a simplification of construction and a great economy in the force necessary to propel airships and a considerable Increase of their staying powers. LINKS THEM BY MARRIAGE Chinese Empress Forces Rival Fam ilies to Make Peace. ' SHANGHAI, China, July 4. (Special.) The Chinese Empress Dowager has a characteristic and diplomatic way of making peace when the heads of rival factions fall out. She issues the com mand that their families shall be united by marriage. In this way sht has restored harmonious relations be twen Yuan Shin Kal and Chans Chi Tung, leaders of the progressive and conservative parties. When both states men wer.e present at a conference be fore her throne the Empress suddenly announced that it was her wish that their youngest son and daughter should be betrothed, and, although both men were furious, they were too much afraid of losing their heads and accord ingly, a marriage was immediately ar ranged. About a year ago the Empress in the same way made peace between Yuan Shin Kal and Tish Lang, who were po- 1 litical rivals. The latter was command ed to give one of his daughters in mv- y?iago to the former's sor
