Hen rut Cable ' Berlin, Jan. 23. Bulking like a child who has received a scolding, the kaiser lias decided to avoid the publicity of Berlin and will continue to lead a sim role and secluded life in auiet Potsdam. The Oerftian foreign department has made the announcement that the Deo pie of Berlin are not, to expect to see the Kaiser during tne next two montns, except on such occasions when import ant publlo functions-make his presence in me cny necessary. ' The peoDle have made liim under stand thai they -wish their monarch to. show '"more reserve," and, as a man who never does things by halves, Wil llem has decided he shall give them no reason for complaint. But com plain thev do anyway, at least aristo cratic society and Berlin tradespeople do, because Berlin without Hie kaiser ana court festivals means a dun sea son and a falUna of in trade. It is understood that one of the kaisers reasons for tireferrinor an idvl lie life at Potsdam Is his need of rest after the strain after the recent politi cal crista, which was a severe shock to his nerves.- It is furthermore stated that about t he first of March the whole imperial family will go to Villa Aehlllelon on Corfu, and from there William will probably go on a long cruise along the const of Norway, and then may be the German peope will be good and for get how rudely they have behaved, to their monarch by the grace of God. These plans are laid on the supposi tion that events on the Balkans will not end in war, but the general feeling here is that this will not be the case. Because the Hungarian minister of the interior has arbitrarily dissolved two workmen's federations that coun try Is now in the throes of a general strike, ordered by the Socialists. As soon as the order was issued 90. 000 workers at Budapest stopped work and every factory in the city was shut down. In many of the priclpal towns ' not a newspaper is printed) and alto gether some 400,000 men are Idle. Certain unions have not issued strike orders to their members, but this is not because - they do not sympathize Twith the Socialist leader, but because f.part of their earnings are spent in aa- slsting the strikers. A general boycott 5 may o oruerea dv iijc luuituiui-iurern '-In order to teeroe the strikers, nd then 'every worker In the countryoutside of the agricultural districts will be Idle. The case of Captain Berger, one of the most brilliant officers-In the Ger- ' man navy, is engaging public atten tion very" keenly. On April 7, 190H, Captain Berger was placed on the un attached list, and the reasons given for such disciplinary treatment were by no means clear or satisfactory, and the naval office declares that the action ; taken against him was due to an erron eous report furnished by Admiral Schmidt. After several fruitless appli cations to the proper quarters, Captain Berger wrote direct to the German emperor, and gravely aucused his super ior officers of faults committed to the prejudice of the state on seven differ ent occasions. Captain Berger has Just published in the review "Blaubueh" a letter which has produced quite a sen sation, for he appeals to public opinion if Justice is not granted to him. The minister of marine has decided to enter an action against the naval captain and the editor of "Blaubach." A striking feature of the German press today is the numerous criticisms written by experts, many of whom are officers still on service, and discussing the German emperor, the army, the headquarters' staff and the emperor's military cabinet in outspoken and often hostile language. Of course these arti cles are unsigned, and they appear in all kinds of newspapers, many of which would ha -e been thought Incapable of expressing, these views only a few weeks ago. - MBS.

A remarkable "anti- race suicide" movement has been mak ing rapid progress In West Germany. A society of wealthy ladles has been formed there for the purpose of endow ing all women who bring children Into the world,. Irrespective of whether they are legally married or not. The society adopts the principle of G. Bernard Shaw that all mothers should be rewarded bj the state, and claims that when the state neglects Its duties private benevolence Bhould supply its place. The 'founders of the society, in an announcement of its alms, state that all children are a national asset. The women point out that Germany's heavy Illegitimacy rate at present re sults in thousands of Infants dying of neglect and of thousands more- growing up as criminals, loafers or as physically unfit. They propose to remedy this evil by. welcoming all children and provid ing their . mothers, where necessary. With means of sustenance, 1- A further demand is made by these women that all-factories where young mothers are employed shall equip rooms in the immediate vicinity or tne work shops where children can play, and that their mothers shall be compelled to cease work for- a short period several times during the dav in order to at tend to their offspring. The more rad ical members of the society recommend ft certain amount to be paid to all mothers of the poorer class a few days before the expected birth. V III.

The legal right of one man to fly over another man's property is prophesied as a future en actment of international law by Roger Wallace, K. C, a London barrister, who is a prominent member of the Aero club and British delegate to the International Aeronautic conference. "At present," said Mr. Wallace, "by the common law no one has a right to fly across occupied land. The world is still governed by the ancient Roman law, usque ad coelum (up to the skies). That was framed, of course, in days when no one could anticipate the pres ent conquest of the air. and it must be amended. It means that every land owner has a right to the air above his land as far up as he chooses to go, and can get an injunction to restrain any one flying across it. ' "So far, no one has attempted to put the law In force. When a man is flying across your land it Is too late to get an Injunction. After he has flown is It no use unless he haa done damage which can be assessed.. But it may happen that a land owner adjoining the prac tice ground or starting point of aero nights wiu oDject to, tne use or tne air above his land. He could then get an lnlunctlon under the present law. "Tn the axranrement which the Aero club is making fo securing a practice- ground at L)artrorr it is providing tor thla contingency by legally obtaining the right to fly across all adjoining lands. One section of the new law of flying must deal with the question of articles dropped irom aeroplanes ana balloons. Poor American Man. (Hearst Cable.) . London. Jan. 25. "The American man problem pussies all." says Truths "The American man is apparently objection able to the American woman, for when the latter Is sufficiently rich she gener ally marries a European. Though the pick of European men arp prepared to marry-rlch American women, the Euro pean . woman can seldom be induced to marry an American. "The deficiencies of the American man must be serious, for they appear to render him objectionable alike! to the women of hia own country and of other countries." Special Dental Prices.

Nothing tn the his tory of Europe has been taore start lingly romantlo than the new era which has Just opened In Turkey, and the ac counts of i the assembly -"of the parlia ment at Constantinople read more like a fantasy from "The Thousand and One LNights"- than a serloua piece oi news paper intelligence i The two people whxi have probably brought about the result which we be held yeaterday were the popu of the Slahommedan church, who upheld the revolting officers at Salonika, and de clared that the demand for the. consti tution was agreeable to the holy law of Islam and to 8iv Edward Grey. ' who by his prompt an,d splendidly adroit management of the situation, contrib uted larkely to the liberation of Turkey. j The Hultan, who has so long astood as the dark shadow of ill luck over the liberty of his land. Is old and terrified, frightened of the living, dreading the appearance of the dead, his court scat tered, his minions dead or banished, and all the machinery of autocracy lying broken at his feet. This is the man who had to stand before the par liament yesterday and admit that 32 years ago the constitution had been granted, but that events occurred which led to his accepting the advice that he should suspend its operation. Constantinople has been elaborately decorated, and a hymn of liberty Is heard rising through the streets. Even the Turkish ladies of the higher classes have taken the keenest Interest, a fact which is a revelation of the widespread revolution that has taken place. The Ideas of progress and liberty have pene trated the harems, and have taken hold of the women who were among the severest sufferers from the old regime. But probaWy the most curious effecj pf the change of political circumstance Is to be found In the difference that the ballot box has made among the popula tion of Constantinople. Mr. - Charles Hands, who probably knows aa 'much as anyone of Oriental life, has described graphically how, a while ago, bo one dare Jo declare his own opinion ror rear or being suspected aa a dangerous conspirator. Every sort of wild rumor was being circulated in me city, mat tne sultan had 40,000 modern guns at Ylldlz the palace troops, fanatics to a man, were only waiting for the signal, that the Sultan would be deposed. At every turn terror was to be sen written on the faces of tne Armenians and Greeks, who hastily barricaded their shops and seized their revolvers. - Nobody knew where they were. There was a feeling constantly that something was going to happen, but no one knew what Then the day came when the elections began, and the entire situation, he says, beoama clear and as simple as possible. The- mystery was explained, and un certainty vanished, everyone realized that nothing awfui was going to hap pen, except that a system of constitu tional government was being inaug urated. Each man felt that he had a stake in what was to take place. The exercise of the vote had made all the difference, and this is the more incon ceivable because the population were not voting for anyone in particular, or for anything In particular; they were simply voting for a committee of electors who were to meet together and select a parliament. But the cry that went out was for the choice of honest men. It was not so much the Opinions of the men they were to select that mattered, but that they should be free from corruption. And then came the end. The Turks escorted their ballot boxes through the streets with triumphant reverence, for they knew the value of what they had got, and in the most Joyous procession, prob ably, that ever crossed the streets of Constantinople - Mohammedan lelemas and Armenian priests, In carriages which conveyed the garlanded ballot boxes, were seated side by side. Here was the beginning of liberty, and here iti first effects. There la no more- remarkable figure than the quiet, determined, concen trated conqueror of the air, Mr. Wilbur Wright, in his little encampment at Le Mans. To' mymlnd there Is some thing singularly appealing tn the sim ple, primitive existence of that mar velous mechanician. It is easy to recall the scepticism toward aeroplaning which existed the world bVer a little more than a few years ago. and we remember the sur prise with -which the-flight of Santos Dumont was hailed, . which extended but 230 yards. Now.: "Wilbur Wright has flown '56' miles In -91 minutes. A few days ago-1. was shown, a photo graph of him. seated in Mtr aeronuat's car. He looked a typical steersman, gat ing out into space with-that strange, concentrated expression which means that ail his mind haa gathered itself into one overmastering idea, -a force which must conquer that,, which haa hitherto remained unconquered. -. It would be interesting to know along what lines such-minds have, developed. and how much complete concentration has come about. .., - -t -, ' ,' THE WORLD'S ACT OP CHARITY I .

FRENCHMAN WHO WAS TIRED OF HIS WIFE SOLD HER FOR PALTRY SUM (Hearst Cable.) r Paris, Jan. 23. A queer story of a m:in selling hlB wife with his goods and cattle comes from Roanna, Jean Marie Boisset, a wine grower of Fores, married Reine Moully 17 years ago. For seven years the couple lived hap pily together. Then one day a man of means appeared on the scene. His presence Interferred with the husband's happiness. Both men realized that something would have to be done. They did not quarrel. The husband found himself In need of money. As his house and land were mortgaged. he ap proached the man of means and sug gested a loan of J500. The two men discussed the matter and drew up a bi zarre contract. According to the ar rangement entered into the rentier had to take over the wine grower's goods and chattels and his wife. That hap pened, a year ago. By and by the wine grower regretted his bargain. He com plained that he was- not in a proper state of mind when fee signed the con tract that the rentier had taken ad vantage of his simplicity. As the rent ier, and even his wife,-held to the bar gain, Jean Marie Rolsset became troublesome. He smashed windows and did other damage. Ultimately the mat ter came before a magistrate, who was astounded when he read the contract, duly, signed. The dossier and the con tract are now-In the hands of the Ju dicial authorities, but nothing can be done, as the case does not come within the law, which was made for civilized people, its frame not taking into ac count the fact that men from J3ibical times would arise in the village of Forez. The latest news is that the parties to the contract and the wife are now reconciled. An interesting case affecting doctor and patient came before the seventh chamber of the tribunal yesterday. A doctor whovmade a specialty of neuras thenic rases, came to the conclusion that thin malady was simply a disease of the will. His method with his pa tients is a very simple oiie. All , he does Is to talk to his patients, to in spire thejn with the desire t6 get well. After so treating one of his patients he sent in his bill for $200. But the pa tient declined to pay this amount, as serting that he was none the better by the doctor's talk. He declared, through his , counsel that his doctor had paid him 20 ctsits, and that reckoning 14 for each visit, he would pay only' 80 and no more. The neurasthemic specialist held out for 1:100. The court will give its decision tn a week. An exciting ox fight has occurred In the streetB of Pantln. The beast escaped- from the goods station, at Pan tin and rushed through the streets. The animal first' attacked ' the horse- f a cabinet maker, and then . upset a man with a handcart, injuring him seriously. Four men- were knocked down lh suc cession and frightfully bruised. In. the Rue Courtols the ox found' himself con fronted with a policeman armed. with a revolver. The beast charged htm, but the policeman escaped the horns. As the animal was preparing to charge a second time the policeman discharged his revolver three ' times, the bullets lodging in the ox's head. A-neighbor came to the policeman's assistance and i finished the animal with a shot from a carbine. The carcas was cut-up--.-on. the spot and taken to the meat- market. The president of the reDiiblic is con fronted with a grave problem. Some thing; like 32 men are in prison, having been condemned to death and the ques tion i "What will be their fate?" A you are aware, the chamber, by a large majority, has voted in favor of the maintenance of capital punishment, and in these circumstances the presidential pardon may not be given. All the pris oners are aware of this vote, and they are- wondering whether the guillotine will deal with them. As can be -imagined. the uncertainty In which they are living is terrible. Since he went to the lyaee, M. Fallleres has pardoned every prisoner sentenced to death. Will he allow the opinion of the chamber to prevail? There Is silence in the high est political circles on the subject. Hitherto condemned prisoners have known their fate a fortnight after the passing of the death ' sentence upon them. But the men under the sentence of death do. not know when they -wake up of a morning, whether they will e another 'day. The four bandits of the north who were sentenced to death at Saint Assizes, have up till now been In prison six months and six days with out knowing their fate. It Is felt that the president must come to a. decision shortly and thus put an end to the con demned men's anguishing suspense.
