Chairs with rush or Spanish leather seats. Sideboards, China Cabinets, Serving Tables, Morris Chairs,
Library Tables and Bookcases. Besides the library, hall and dining-room, this type of furniture is
admirably adapted to the Summer home. You could leave it there season after season, because it re
quires so little care, owing to its plainness. The designs are copies of the handiwork of the old Jesuit
fathers, with a little softening of the lines and a touch of comfort which would have delighted those
old craftsmen. You will find Gadsbys' entire exhibit a most interesting one, and Gadsbys' price on this
Mission Furniture is extremely low, and therefore within the reach of everyone.

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.

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.

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
