Armour and Others Windy City Boosters Boast of Summer Cli - mate, While Newspapers Publish Long Heat Death Lists. BERLIN, July 9. ( Special.) Al though the temporary disablement and foreign journeys of the Kaiser throw a larger share of affairs on the Crown Prince nowadays, so that he is less free to give a lead to sporting enthusiasts in Germany than formerly, the popular future ruler of Germany means to lose no opportunity this Summer of foster ing the branches of outdoor life which lie particularly favors. "With, the coming of the warm months it has always been the practice of the Crown Prince to engage personally in such sports as sailing, horseback riding and rowing. Indeed it is largely due to his efforts that these sports have i lade tremendous strides in this country during the past few years. Although the Kaiser has always taken an active interest in the sport of yacht sailing, his time has been taken up with official business and engagements which have prevented a very large personal partici pation. Such, however, has not been the cas with the Crown Prince, who, with his yacht, has for several years been a familiar figure at the various regattas held throughout Germany. So keen is he on athletics that It was recently reported he had had a serious disagreement with his imperial father over the question of a. visit to the TTnited States, which the young Prince desired to take for the primary ob ject of enjoying American sport. In deed, it is understood that the Emperor has frequently protested against tl.e absorption of his heir in sport. But so popular has this bent made the future Kaiser that 'there is a human possi bility that William II has become a trifle jealous. But while sailing a yacht is the Crown Prince's supreme delight, he has also, by participation and personal ef forts, promoted rowing. Under the watchful eye of his father he has taken part in the annual regattas at Grunau. on the Spree, and at Wannoe. on the Havel. He has never been a really first-class performer, but he more than compensates for any lack of skill by hi contagious enthusiasm. So ambi tious Is he that he has even considered the idea of heading a German team to the Henley regatta, hopeful of repeat ing the feat of the Belgian crew, which carried off the challenge cup. The club at Wannsee is his favorite headquarters during the rowing season. i and he Is often to be seen in a single I boat hitting it up at a lively pace on J the Havel. The early mornings, espe cially during regatta weeks, are spent this way by the royal devotee. It is under such conditions, then, that the youth of Germany, encouraged by the Crown Prince, is taking to row ing. At Wannsee the Schoolboys" Row ing Club, opened last year by the Prince, Is In a flourishing condition, and although the majority of the mem bers are young and inexperienced they made an excellent showing In the Wannsee regatta last Summer. Older rowing clubs are, of course. In existence. Such for instance, as the Berliner Ruder Club, founded in 1880. Crews of this club have won successes at regattas held In Hamburg, Frank fort, Dresden, Stettin, Breslau. Kiel, Bremen, Madgeburg. Ems, Danzig, Schweinfurt and Cork (Ireland). Although the Crown Prince has a natural love for the sport, his main object in lending his influence to Its development la to counteract the se rious evils of overcrowding which af flict every large city, Berlin being no exception to the rule. Combined as Jt Is with excessive beer drinking, there is a danger of seriously impairing the hitherto rugged vigor of the soldiers of Germany and the Kaiser and Crown Prince are both believers in athletics as a corrective. An effort is being made by the Crown Prince, therefore, to interest the men who have served their military team. In rowing. It frequently happens that, after the average German citizen has served his two years in the army, he neglects all forms of physical exercise and becomes fat and lazy. As many of these men would be called to the colors in the event of a European war of any magnitude, their physical con dition Is as important as that of the raw recruits. The German royal family is nothing If not consistent. It lives up to the Ideals it preaches to its subjects. Thus we find that the Crown Prince Is teach ing his son and heir, little Prince Wil liam of Prussia, to row. Although he is too small yet to venture out on the lakes In. his own boat, a home trainer has been rigged up for him at Potsdam and he takes daily exer cise thereon. This undoubtedly is, in part, responsible for the fact that he Is a fine upstanding specimen of child hood, brimful of spirits and energy In fact a miniature model of his dis tinguished grandfather. As an ocular demonstration of the fact that he does not advise one course of training for the children of his fu ture eubjects and adopt another for his own child, the Crown Prince has had his son photographed In a boat, manfully bearing on the oars,' and these pictures are having a wide sale throughout the country. SUICIDE CAUSED BY JESTS Parisian With Old-Fashioned Name Blames "Silly Godfather." PARIS, July 9. (Special.) Very queer is the story which is related of a work man to whom an old-fashioned name had been given when he was baptized. His comrades made such fun of the name that -they ended by driving the poor man ill. When he returned home last Satur day he found a cruel Jest scrawled on the wall of the house where he dwelt, and having accused a fellow-workman of the trick he got sadly beaten In the light that followed. He then, went to his room, wrote on a scrap of paper, "My silly godfather waa an. Idiot, and is the cause of my death," and hanged him self. Life was extinct when his wife came home some hours 'later. NEW SWINDLE PLANNED Bucket-Shop Men Run Out of Lon don Return to Field. LONDON, July 9. Many persons have good reason for remembering the sudden closing of a bucket-shop run by a number of smart Americans three or four years ago. When the crash came it was found that investors had lost some hundreds of thousands, not a penny of which was recoverable, as the principals had hied themselves back to the ITnited States. The Scotland Yard authorities have re ceived information to the effect that the same gang are again In London under a new alias and are shortly to commence operations. Whether they will be per mitted to do so is open to doubt, as their I arrest may take place at any moment. BY JONATHAN PALMER. CHICAGO, July 9. There are a lot of women In Chicago whom the Increased cost of living does not worry. The in come on their bank stocks alone Is the dependable shield against the lack of pin money and these stocks represent only a small share of their coin of the realm. Mrs. P. D. Armour, widow of the famous packer, has shares In the Continental Na tional Bank, whose market value is $780,- 000. Lolita Armour, her granddaughter, is on the books with shares worth J171.000. Mrs. Chauncey J. Blair, sister of Johi J. Mitchell and herself the wife of a bank vice-president, has 2016 shares of the Illinois Trust & Savings bank. They could be turned readily into a $1,000,000 in currency. Mrs.' Blair's three Sisters Mrs. Charles Adams, Mrs. Andrew R. Sheriff and Mrs. A. M. Acton have agrregate hold ings worth $1,505,000. Three other sisters who do need to borrow each other's gowns to make a showing are Mrs. R. H. McElwee. with $720,000 , worth of stock of the Com mercial National, and Mrs. Graham Harris and Mrs. Henry H. Walker, who share equally in stock that would sell for $1,285,000. Before their marriages they were known as the Spalding girls. Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh. wife of the Secretary of the Treasury, finds a place in the list of women financiers with 2.767 shares' of Commercial National stock. It has a market value of some thing like $650,000. Her father. Henry F. Eames, was president of this in stitution 32 years and died in 1898. Her husband and only son hold stock worth $260,000. The elder MacVeagh is a director of the bank. Mrs. John J. Borland holds $557,000 worth of stock in the Corn Exchange National bank.- Of recent years she has been one of the shrewdest and most successful investors in down town Chicago real estate. Mrs. Maud Schwab, daughter of the late Nelson Morris, packer, has half a million tied up agreeably in First National bank stock. Mrs. Henry M. Wilmarth, a leader in club life among women, has 600 shares in that bank. Mrs. Charles H. Conover could command $80,000 in cash for her. stbek. Mrs. Chauncey Keep, another member' of the wealthy Blair family, has holdings worth $175, 000. Others who show notably In the list of stockholders are: Mesdames Alson E. Clark, Hubbard C. Carpenter. Samuel B. Dauchy, J. , G. Berquist, Eldbridge Keith. M. L. Rothschild, James E. Brown. Cyrus Bentley. Mary E. Keeley, John B. Drake, P. A. Valentine and Wiley Egan. Suffragettes Take to Antes. A Glidden tour for woman suffrag ists, with votes as the goal, has been added to the varied political . history of Illinois. The tour was made through dust and heat that would have made many strong men waver. The women didn't seem to mind; at least they did not allow the distressing conditions of weather and road to dampen their ardor for the cause. Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch, the woman Justice of the peace of Evanston, was one of the tourists and the chief spell binder. She Is sure that the seed sown will bear fruit In short order. Derisive references were made by the suffrage orators to the pretty mess which mere men made of the last regular session of the Illinois Legis lature. These were timely thrusts and they seem to have made a deep impres sion on the voters, especially the agri cultural element. In some places sport of the women j tourists was made, but as a rule they were treated with the utmost courtesy. Dirt and grime did not help the ap pearance of the vote scouts, 'but the women considered themselves soldiers in the field of action, taking the bitter with the sweet, and a spoiled complex ion or locks astray made little dif ference. Chicago's volunteer "boosters" - an i its newspaper men need to get togeth ed and compare notes in hot weather. The former are passing out literature and making speeches about Chicago as the ideal Summer resort and what a really delightful place it is to live in during the heated term. The news papers say amen to these mock-serious Reservations on the editorial pages and on the first pages In the news columns they print long lists of dead and prostrated. They killed 70 in June, al though J:he official weather man says the mean temperature was only 75 for the month. Heat Deaths Are Listed. As a matter of fact a half way com promise between the boosters and the newspaper men would approach pret ty near the truth. Not all those who are so designated actually die of the heat any more than do all those named die of cold in the Winter time. Let a man die of heart disease during a hot spell, let a drunken mortal fall off a railing and break his neck, or some other luckless fellow tumble into the lake, and it is 50 to one his name will appear in the hot-weather death list. For some reason it Is put to the news paper men to lengthen the list of fatalities as far as possible. There is really no need of a coroner. A' review of the theatrical season shows that Chicago shares with New York the distinction that comes from being a producing center. Managers have come to realize that it is no longer necessary to the success of a play or musical comedy to have the approval of Broadway first stamped, on it. The judgment, critical and otherwise, of Chicago and the cities of the West generally, is considered quite as cap able as that which'the East, offers. In fact, for cities of the same rank, pro ducers believe the theater.goers of the West are the safer of the two in their verdict, because theater-goers of the West are better "travelled," and are not so provincial In thought and spirit. In Its 15 leading theaters Chicago had 150 attractions during the' season just closed. Of these 47, or more than SO per cent, had either their first- per formance or metropolitan premier here. Four plays were here for longer than five months, seven for 15 weeks or more and 15 for over 10 weeks. Fifty-one remained two weeks and 82 filled en gagements of three weeks. New Tork Led as Play Producer. Plays given In Chicago for the first time numbered 124. During the same period New York saw 112 new plays. The smaller number in Gotham Is due to the fact that the "runs" theree are longer. In Chicago there were 60 come dy dramas and 40 musical comedies. During the season there were only two minstrel shows. Indicating how the popular forms of stage musio are driv ing out a favorite amusement of other days. Theatrical developments include the opening of two new houses the Cort and the Zlegfeld In the loop district, and the beginning of construction of the Blackstone and the Gaiety. The Great Northern passed into the hands of the Shuberts and was renamed the Lyric. The Grand and the Princess be came affiliated with the Brady-Shubert organization and the Auditorium re linquished , its existence as a theater to become the home of the new Chicago grand opera company. Chicago furnished 8814 June brides this year, thereby exceeding the mark of last year by 606, and surpassing the record for- all previous Junes. The showing this year is taken as a reliable clew to the brand of prosperity that prvails in the city. In years of de pression In business, marriages invari ably fall off. When trade is good and the future is rosy the oppostte phe nomenon is observed. The cost of liv ing has not deterred the matrimonial market. Nor do the figures express adequately the marriage situation. Hundreds of couples go yearly to St. Joseph, Mich., Michigan City. Ind., and other neighboring towns for licenses. The movement of other years holds good this season, the allurements and romantic environment of lake trips playing "hob" with sentimental per sons. "Dips" Crow in Number. There are 500 professional pickpock ets in Chicago. They ply their busi ness in groups of three or four, dress faultlessly and are in less danger of capture and punishment than al most any other class of criminals. Judge Gemmlll, of the Chicago Mu nicipal Court, is responsible for these assertions. After a long experience with criminals of all kinds and a close stury of them psychologically. Judge Gemmlll has reached the conclusion that "the punishments prescribed by the criminal code are greater preven tives of crime and wrong-doing than all the churches, schoolhouses and re form organizations in the land." This being true, he believes the state should make its penalties for crime certain rather than severe. Arrests in Chicago for robbery, ac cording to the jurist, have decreased 39 per cent In five years. Arrests for burglary have decreased 34 per cent in the same period. Explaining the fall ing off, he says It is not because the burglar has become more honest, but because he has found the business more hazardous and its punishment more certain. Pocket-picking, on the other hand, has increased rapidly because the crim inal, who resorts to that method of making his living, has nine chances out of ten to escape the hand of the law If he be at all skillful. Pickpockets hire a lawyer by the year, and send him a Christmas present Invariably. "The courts are powerless," says Judge Gemmlll, "to do anything against per-, sons even known to live by picking poc kets, in the absence of specific charges." The counterfeiter has gone and the confidence man has taken his place. "The number of men," says the Judge, "who sign some one's name to a check and cash It in a ealoon has increased 50 per cent In five years. It is the safest crimi nal business known outside that of the pickpocket. This sort of confidence man has no fear of personal violence while he is getting his money and he knows he will have time to spend It before he la In danger of punishment." Browne's Conviction Poubted. There is very general and serious doubt here that there will ever be a conviction of Leo O'Neill Browne, who is charged with bribing a legislator to vote for Lorimer for United States Senator. The feeling that prevailed before the first trial has been strengthened as a result of the Jury's disagreement. Judge Jlc Surely allowed wide latitude for the, in troduction of corroborative evidence. The caa on its face seemed to the newspaper reading public to he a strong one for the Htate. The circumstantial evidence bore out the charRes made by Charles A. White in many particulars, but the jury never polled more than eight mem bers for conviction. Getting a Jury that will convict in cases where politics i" involved has been almost impossible in Chicago. In such case pome of the Jurors are pretty sure to let themselves be biased by the belief that the state's attorney or some other im portant factor in the trial has an ax to grind. That was probably the case with the Browne Jury. It is expected it will be true also of the cases against city officials and employes charged with grafting. A preconceived notion obtain? that nobobdy will Te made to suffer for looting the City Treasury. The court has already narrowed the admissible evi dence in the first trial for graft to a basis which will tax the ingenuity of the state to win a verdict. In this ruling, however, no consideration of politics or persons en tered. Cullom Shows Age. Senator Shelby M. Cullom has come back from Washington to spend the Summer. It has been his practice for years to pane the hot months at the Moraine Hotel, Highland Park, on the lake shore. H will do so this Summer again. Senatoi Cullom will be 81 years old- next No vember.

Despair and Despondency No one but a woman can tell the story of the suffering, the despair, and the despondency eodured by women who carry daily burden of ill-health and pain because of disorders ana derangements of the delicate and important organs that are distinctly feminine. The tortures so bravely endured com pletely upset the nerves if long continued. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a positive core for weakness and disease of the feminine organism.
