(Journal .Special Service. .. BERLIN, May 9. Elaborate plass have been made tor the reception and en tertainment of the Shah of Persia, who Is expected here within a day or two.

He will spend one day visiting the works of an elec trical company In Berlin, another in see ing the vast Iron and steel works of Herr Krupp at Easen, and a third in witness ing the operation of wireless telegraphy. There also will be several state func tions in bis honor. While all these prep arations are being made on the moat elab orate scale, it is doubtless the, secret hope of the state officials and especially those attached to the Lord Chamberlain's department, that the perslon monarch will not see fit to prolong his stay In the German capital Of al? royal visitors the Shah Is perhaps the most unwelcome, not for reasons of state, but because of the fact that he and his numerous suite bring with them all of their Oriental customs regarding etiquette and wsys ef living. J Every J morsel of foot they eat must be prepared by their own chefs and served In their own apartments. As tholr table manners and Ideas of" cleanliness are not exactly up to the standard of Western civilisation In the JOth century. It Is always 'found necessary after f&ttir departure to entirely refurnish and re decorate the luxurious state apartments set aside tor their use during the visit. It Is for this reason that a feeling of mis giving Is always mixed with the pleasure attending the welcoming of the Shah at the various courts of Europe. 5 (Journal Special Service.) 1 PITTSBURG; Pa, May .

The plans adopted for the entertain ment ef General Brugere and staff, to gether wltn other distinguished French men who are In this country to take part In the unveiling of the Roohambeau mon ument In Washington today, resemble greatly those made during the recent visit of Admiral 'Prince Henry of Prus sia. In subscribing so largely and will ingly to the victims of the volcanic erup tion at Martinique, New Yorkers and tne American people in general have had an excellent opportunity to show to France a small measure of the gratitude fett for the service performed by Rocham beau and Lafayette under Washington during the great struggle for Indepen dence. Coming on the eve of the events at Washington today, the tribute is all the more significant. ' Whatever the motive which actuated Mrs. Hetty Green's recently applying for a permit to carry a revolver, the action has brought her no end of notoriety, For many years Mrs. Green has contrib uted material for the newspapers, and no matter how Important may be the events in any part of the world, New York papers always have space 'to devote to this old lady, who Is believed to the rich est woman In- the United States. Rather than her riches It is her eccentricities that make Mrs. Green so valuable as a news asset by every newspaper office. Mr. Charles M. Schwab.

His at titude during the last ten or fifteen years has always been Interpreted to be con structive, if not active opposition to the principles of uinlon labor as applied to printing establishments.
