riage of the Duke of the jybruzzl and
Miss Elkins will take place early In Oc
tober at Turin. xA. definite announcement
regarding the arrangements for the royal
wedding has been issued by an official
source in answer to the publication of a
story in a Roman newspaper expressing
doubt as to the wedding taking place.
The note says the Duke will leave the
battleship Regina Elena September 30,
and the marriage will be solemnized in
the early days of October at Turin. The
Dulte will not go to Washington again
before his marriage. Important Improve
ments are now being carried out at the

the King and Queen of Italy , and will

of the Royal guests at Racconigi are be
ing pushed forward energetically, and are
on a most lavish scale. More than $20,
000 has already been spent on new fur
niture, despite the fact that a quantity
of the most valuable furniture has been
transferred to Racconigi from other of
the Royal palaces.
Electric, light has been' installed
throughout the extensive gardens which
sufround the palace.
STOVEPIPE HAT IS DOOMED
British Manufacturers Attempt to
Bolster Up Trade.
LONDON. July 25. (Special.) A
unique demonstration was held at the
Franco-British exhibition by the makers
of high 'silk hats, for the purpose of
bringing back into popularity the top-hat.
Invitations were issued or the conclave
in front of the machinery hall, and it was
rigorously insisted upon that no one
would he admitted unless wearing a silk
hat. Four hundred and fifty top-hats at
tended. There were tapering hats, funeral-looking
hats with decorously
straight sides, raklshly concave hats with
curly brims, broad, pompous-looking hats
of aldermanlc tmpressiveness; hata that
were shiny, hats that were not. New
hats, old hatst historic hats that had
been In the family for generations. Three
traitors to the sacred cause had - -the te
merity tt appear . in top-hats made of
white straw. These three gave a touch
of lightness to an ptherwise black pro
cession. Nature, in her . own peculiar-way. In
terrupted the proceedings Just as the res
olutions had been"passed declaring the
top-hat the only suitable headgear in the
world, by sending a tropical downpour
and a vehement thunder storm. In the
torrential rain the meeting disbanded and
the tall hats disappeared.
The derby gained a triumph.
KILLS" HER 'FOUR SONS
Russian Mother Saves Them From
Horrors of Living,
BERLIN, July 25. ( Special. X A ter
rible quadruple murder is reported from
Ekaterinburg, In Russia. A workman's
wife a woman 34 years of age attacked
her four younger sons during her hus
band's absence from home, and killed
them all by cutting their throats with
knife. The unfortunate lads were all
quite young, aged respectively 9, 7, 5 and
2 years. The woman then went to the
field where her eldest son was working,
with the intention of killing him also;
but the lad, after a struggle- managed to
disarm his mother, who was arrested.
When she was questioned as to the
motives of her terrible crime, she replied
calmly that she had too many children,
"and," she added, "if God knew how we
have to live, he would wish them to be
killed." It is believed that the woman
must have lost her reason, though up to
the time of the tragedy she had been per
fectly rational.
MARRIAGE RECORDS LOST
Calabrlan Earthquakes Cause Trou
ble for Peasant.
ROME, July 25. (Special.) The recent
Calabrian earthquakes. It has Just been
discovered, had the effect In several
towns, of destroying all the registers of
civil marriages. The discovery occurred
in this way. In the town of Tito, in Ca
labria, a milliner requested the Registrar
to give her a copy of her marriage certifi
cate, in order that she might obtain a
passport to enable her to Join her. hus
band In New York. It was then found
that the certificate could not be taeued
because the earthquake had destroyed' the
registers between 1890 and 1905. The
news quickly spread, and all . the. people
married In that period rushed to the rna
nlcipallty, only to find that their certifi
cates were also missing.
One hundred and forty-two families In
the village were thus affected. The af
fair has caused the greatest consterna
tion among the peasantry. -
ABSINTHE ISJJNDER BAN
Switzerland Votes to Prohibit Its
Manufacture and Sale.
PARIS. July 25. (Special.) Absinthe Is
banned In Switzerland. As a result of
the -national referendum uxe manufacture
and sale of the deadly drink has been
prohibited by a majority of between 80,000
and 90.0W. Switzerland has thus followed
the example set by Belgium. The loss to
the Swiss government by this enactment
will be very great, as most of the famous
brands of absinthe have been made In
-Switzerland and enjoy a large export.
wnne 'the consumption, especially in
French-speaking Switzerland,- has been
enormous. The victory is largely due to
the Swiss press, which has been main
taining a steady crusade against the
liquor. Statistics have been arranged
showing the great increase of insanity In
France and Germany is due primarily to
absinthe drinking. '
On the eve of the referendum, M. Gaule,
professor of physiology at' Zurich, pub
lished an analysis of Athe investigations
of English experts with the general con
clusion that absinthe contains a poison
of peculiar danger; that its consequences
on the consumer are dreadful, and that
the use of It as a drink ought te be for
bidden. OH of wormwood, the essential spirit
of absinthe,' administered . to animals
made them mad. They dashed around
the foom barking and furiously biting
and snapping at their best friends and
behaving with uncontrollable violence.
The consequences of the essential oil of
absinthe are -worse than those of any
drink or drug known to science, worse
even than morphia or nicotine.
STEAL SHEEP REM PARIS
THIEVES KILL SHEPHERD AND
SELL FLOCKS IX MARKET.
Ringleader In Plot Is Arrested and
Nearly $300 0 of Purchase
Price Is Recovered.
PARIS, . July 25. (Special) An exploit
reminiscent of the Middle es, namely,
the raiding of a flock of 350-sheep just
outside the capital, and the death of the
shepherd, . under circumstances . which
point to murder, is the latest Parisian
sensation. The sheep were grazing on
waste land on the banks of the river
Marine, between the suburban towns of
Alfortvllle and Cretell, under the care of
an old man named Frederick Yung, who
was known as "Pere Fritz." On Friday
morning a resident of the neighborhood,
attracted by the howling of the shep
herd's dog, entered the small movable
hut in which "Pere Fritz" slept, and
found him lying dead, with blood oozing
from his mouth, and beside him a bot
tle containing about a third of a-litre
of rum.
The sheep had gone, but " were soon
traced, as the flock had obstructed the
tramcars while they were" being driven
Wednesday night. Following this clew,
the police last night arrested at a public
house near Mont Parnasse Station a
young man named Maviel, who confessed
to' having sold the sheep at Patin and
La Villette markets for 3130. He declared
that he only acted as the agent of two
men who had the appearance of horse
dealers, and professed entire ignorance
as to where the stock came from.
That he had accomplices seems evident
from the fact that taxes to the amount
of $330 were paid on the sheep passing
the Octroi. Marviel spent nearly 1300 of
the proceeds of the sale buying a watch
and chain, several suits of clothes and
other articles. The remainder of the
$3130 was found on him.
The body of the shepherd has been re
moved to the morgue for a post-mortem
examination. It appears that several pre
vious attempts to raid the nock had been
frustrated by the vigilance of Printemps,
the sheep dog, which Is still faithfully
guarding the empty hut.
REBUILD CROSBY HALL
Building Will Be Moved to Chelsea
.. Embankment.
. '
LONDON, July 25. (Special.), It has
been definitely decided to transport the
remains of Crosby Hall from the City of
London and re-erect the hall at More's
Garden, Chelsea Embankment. The date
when the work will be entered upon Is
not fixed. The estimated cost. Including
the removal. Is from $55,000 to $60,000, of
which $30,000 has been promised in sub
scriptions. An appeal Is to be Issued
later for further help. More's Garden oc
cupies a commanding piece of ground,
having Beaufort street and Danvers street
for its wings and the Embankment for
its frontage.

shall form part of the scheme for- the
erection of LTniversity Hall, a building
Blmilar In purpose on Toynbee Hall, In
East London. At present a portion of
the site that at. the corner of Beaufort
street Is occupied by a block of flats,
where many students are in residence.

it is proposed to erect. It Is expected that
the total cost will be about $300,000.

and university extension lectures, and a
special library, composed of Utopist lit
erature, preceding and subsequent tfit
More's "Utopia," will also be Installed.
CURIO-DEALER. IS BURGLAR
Highly-Respected Collector Admits
'- Theft of Orders.
BERLIN, July 25; (Special.) The
thief who, during the night of November
12, 1906. broke into the museum ot the
Castle of Herrenhousen, In Hanover, and
stole sixty costly orders belonging to the
late King' Ernest August, among which
were the star, cross and chains of the
English order of the Garter, the order of
St. Patrick, the order of the Bath and
the order of the Black Eagle., together
with a number of swords encrusted with
diamonds valued at 80,000 marks, has' at
last been caught by a mere accident.
x He is a highly -respected dealer In an
tiquities. Papeuberg of Hanover. A few
.days 'ago he gave himself away while
talking about the theft with a friend in a
Hanover restaurant. Immediately after
his arrest he confessed and said that he
had sold the orders In France, while an
American tourist, whose name he does
not know, .bought the -swords from him
in London.- . '
Czar Forces Him to .Sue.
BASLE. July 25. (Special.) Because
he was arrested as suspected of murder
ing his wife In a Swiss hotel Major-Gen-eral
Twardowsky, of the Czar's army,
has begun suit against the City of Basle
and demands as damages 100.000 francs
which he declares he will donate to the
poor. At the trial the General was ac
quitted, but he has little prospect of win
ning his suit and It Is generally thought
that he would never have begun It If be
had not been forced to do so by the Csar.
Y IS
STILL HUGE JOKE
Practice Cruise of Black Sea
Squadron Opens Czar's
Eyes to Facts.
RULER WILL NOW USE AX
Resolves to Dismiss From Service
. Practically AH Officers of Ships
Participating In , Com
edy of Blunders.
BERLIN. July 25. (Special.) Nearly
all the officers of the Russian Black Sea
squadron are to be dismissed from the
service at the order of the Czar as a
result of the recent maneuvers of the
squadron which most conclusively proved
that the Russian navy is as worthless
today as it was during the Russo-Japanese
war.
The fleet which the Czar had been told
was in first-class fighting condition con
sisted of two battleships, five cruisers
and a dozen or so torpedo boats. In the
preliminary cruise from Sevastopol along
the coast towards Odessa, which lasted
30 hours, no fewer than five mishaps oc
curred. There were three collisions be
tween different vessels, one explosion
due to Inefficient handling of machinery,
and one gun accident due to the careless
firing of a gunner.
In the subsequent cruise southwards
there were more mishaps, but at gunnery
drill no single gunner on any single ship
succeeded in hitting a target. In the
boat drills six upsets occurred, due to
the lack of seamanship displayed by the
bluejackets in handling them. On one
of the cruisers, whose name has not
been divulged, the first lieutenant, who
was not entirely sober at the time, fell
down the steep steps leading from the
bridge and was severely Injured. On two
other ships there were riots among the
6allors, due to discontent with the food
supplied.
Frequently flag signals flown- from the
flagship were either not understood at
all or were badly misunderstood, with
the effect that all sorts of different
movements were made "by different
ships. One of the lRrger ships had put
to sea without having one of her com
passes adjusted, none of the officers
having thought of this important detail.
MORE PARKSF0R PARIS
Land Now Covered by Fortifications
Will Be Used:
PARIS, Julyv25. (Special.) The city
of Paris is to be surrounded by the most
magnificent circle of parks in the world,
If a bill now before the Chamber becomes
a law, as it undoubtedly will.- Indorsed
by 60 members of the Chamber, a bill has
been Introduced which declares that the
cordon of land around the capital on
which the fortifications stand should be
handed back by the national government
to the City of Paris, and that the latter
should, within a minimum delay of 10
years, destroy the military works stand
ing there and erect In their place a cir
cular boulevard 75 yards wide and lay
out four public parks, each of the size of
from 15 to 20 hectares, beside as many
squares and gardens for popular games.
The wooded zone bordering on the Bols
de Boulogne should also be reserved to
the city.
Such lands In the zone of the fortifica
tions as are not suited for public use, but
which must not exceed one-third of the
total area acquired, will, under the bill,
be sold and half the proceeds of -the sale
handed over to the state by the City of
Paris.
