SNUBBED BY KAISER PRINCE RESENTS A PUBLIC) INSULT And Leaves the German Army--A | Tempest in a Teapot--A Paper Says He Was Unpopular With Brother Officers. Berlin, Oct. 10.--In the absence of matters of greater importance, anoth- er storm in a teacup which has bro- ken out between the kaiser and the princely house of Lippe-Detmold is engaging much attention. It is known that for some years his majesty has not favored this house, as he believes they are not authorized to hold the title, and that his rela- tives of Lippe-Biesterfield are the pro- per holders of the principality. I his new quarrel goes back to August last when Prince Bernard, of Lippe-Det- mold, eldest brother of the reigning prince, was present at the cavalry manoeuvres on the Senne river. Prince Bernard was major - in the Cassel Hussars, and when the regi- ment was parading before the kaiser cither the kaiser's horse became restive or kaiser himself' Aiiyhow, his majesty is said to have turned his back on Prince Bernard as this officer's squad- ron approached the saluting post. It is stated further that this is not the only occasion on which the kaiser has shown that the Detmold family is not entitled, in his opinion, to be reckon- ed among the ruling families of the Fatherland. In consequence of the slights to which he believes himself to have been subjected Prince Bernard has sent in his resignation as officer of the Ger- man army. The Lokal Anzeiger publishes an "ingpired'"' statement, intimating that the real reason of I'rince Bernard's resignation was his unpopularity with his brother offi STRONG SUPERSTITION. rs. Over the Vessels Bearing the Royal Names. London Tit-Bits One of the very strongest and most ineffaceable all superstitions in the royal navy--a superstition . almost as strong day ever it was--is that vessels bearing the name of royal per- sonages are doomed t ill luck, and strange as it may seem there is an un- deniable historical basis for this feeling Some of the most terrible disasters ever known in connection with our navy have concerned war vessels with royal names I'wo vessels called the Royal James came to disastrous ends. One of them exploded, and some 800 officers and seamen perished, the other ship so named was actually carried out of the mouth of the Thames by the Dutch un- der circumstances disgraceful to those in charge of the craft. The® there is the forever memorable disaster to the Royal George, that furn ed over and sank in sight of crowds at Spithead, over 1,000 souls, among whom were 300 women, being sacrificed. And second only to this hideous disaster 1s that which afterward befel the Royal Charlotte, which was consumed by fire ff Leghorn, over 800 of the very flower of the navy perishing with her When in 1893 the Victoria, a new ves- sel and the very triumph of modern in- vention, was rammed and sank in sight of the whole fleet there was not a sailor, wowever matter of tact he might be, who did not remember the dire fateofa royalty named craft.

"Bishop Potter was a wonderfully ef fective preacher," said a Brooklyn lergyman. "His method was reserved ind quiet. He always had himself well in hand I once delivered a sermon before him. 1 was. young and enthusiastic at the time, a disciple of the methods of Talmage. 1 let myself go in the ser non.

At any rate, what he aid reply was this: : lear young friend, never mis- pulpit, perspiration for in- ( take, in t piration,'" That Made A Difference. Lady Duff-Gordon, the New York Press, thus told this story of an ignorant Yorkshireman who came to London to see the British Museum: "Unfortunately, the Yorkshireman chose a close day for his visit, and the policeman at the gate, when he presented himself there, waved him away "But I must come in,' said the York- man.

The Beginning of Mackenzie King's Career. It was a small thing that started William Lyon Mackenzie King on the road to fame. The young statesman, whose campaign in North Waterloo will undoubtedly be one" of the most spectacular in the approaching election, after a brilliant course in political economy at the University of Toronto, found a ready outlet for his genius in journalism, joining the staff of a local paper. Naturally interested in the labor problem, he contrived to attend all the socialistic and labor gatherings he could, and thus became thoroughly posted on labor. conditions in the city. One Sunday afternoon, Mr. King's father, John King, K.C,, a warm per- sonal friend of Sir William Mulock, then Paostmaster-General, decided to stroll ov8¥ to the Mulock residence for a chat, as he was often in the habit of doing. Seeing that "Willie" was un- occppied he suggested that the latter should accompany him. The son de- murred, but after some persuasion was induced to join his father in the walk. The Postmaster-General welcomed the visitors, and after the three had been seated in the library for some time, the conversation turned to the labor prob- lem. His pet subject having been thus introduced, Mr. King, Jr. let fall some sagacions remarks, which made Sir william sit up and-take notice. The idea of establishing a Government De- partment of Labor flashed across his mind, to be followed a moment later by the thought that W. L. M. King was jus the man to take hold of it. Action followed immediately. Thus, Mr. King's career as a public man was the outcome of a chance walk on a Sun- day afternoon A Candid Friend. Music and Drama. William Clyde Fitch, who doesn't use his first name, has about as little of the traditional sensitiveness to failures as it is possible for a generally successful dramatist to get along with. He talks "The Straight Road" with all the en- - AUTUMN BATHING CLOAK. Has Made a "Hit" Atlantic City. The new bathing cloak has made a decided hit with the disciples of the daily ocean plunge who are prepamng to. enjoy their sea baths weH up into October, says an Atlantic City letter. The new garment is in no sense an or- dinary cover for the bathing rng on the way. to and from the beach and sur} but isa distinctly attractive garment, and its use on these cool fall days is a matter of comfort. Even expert scien- tists have not as yet explained in a sat- isfactory manner 'why the ocean should warm by several degrees with the com- ing of the snappy days of autumn, but followers of surf bathing have known the fact for years. Breakers that chil- led in mid July, while the air showed a temperature in the nineties, suddenly bscome warm and limpid during Sep- tember and early October until the bath is as much a pleasure as of bracing benefit. Cottagers in the fashionable sections who don their bathing suits at home have made shivering picures on their way home through the brisk air, how- ever, and it was not until a bright Chel- sea girl evolved the bathing cloak that the problem of comfort was solved. Heavy woollen goods are used for the new garment, which approaches a cross between a bath robe, a kimono and an opera cloak in build. Serve of the more daring ones have started to use heavy plaids, and the effect of the néw gar- ment is probably a little more decora- tive than anything worn before for bathing purposes or in getting to and from the beach. at . A Vision Seven Years In Advance. Mme. Aida de Nile, in October Nautilus. 1 was sick unto death. Outwardly in a semi-conscious state, but inwardly my senses acute, I lay on my bed in a large hotel in San Francisco, near the City Hall. Two physicians were work- ing over me. It was April 4th, 1901. There swept before my vision the pic- ture of the destruction of the city by carthquake and fire. I saw the hotel, thusiasm that he brings to a remimi- scence of "Beau Brummell," and he has no objection to telling you of mirth that has been made at his own expense, "I always had faith in my historical play, 'Nathan Hale; which, you may remember, we put on uring the Span ish war," he said recently. "I believe in that play, but nobody else seem alto- gether to agree with me "I recall with not a little pain how I sat in the almost empty thes one of its productions. "Beside me at the time was one of the best known, ablest, and also frankest dramatic critics in. New York, and to him | wag trying to ease my mind.

Lippincott's, London In one of his burlesque sketches on English history, Bill Nye spoke of Julius Caesar's jumping into the water as he approached the English coast, wading ashore, runnmg up to London, and walking through Regent street. "An acquaintance of mine reported to me," said Mr. Nye, "that he had asked an Englishman how he liked the story Not all, not at all,' was the reply. "That fellow Nye doesn't know what he's about. There wasn't any Regent street then, you know.' Speaking Cockney. Daniel Frohman, the theatrical man- ager, exploded this at a recent meeting of the Theater Managers' Association in the Hotel Astor, at "New York City: I'he managers were discussing Ros- tand's new play, "Chanticlier," in which Coquelin may appear in «the United States It is a play of birds, symbolic { human emotions The discussion aroused much interest. "In what language do the birds eak ?" asked a facetious manager. "All French except the chanticlier," said Mr. Frohman quickly, "and he speaks cockney." | No Hurrv, { fell atl ed afore Sawbath, | Wednesday nicht." Glasgow Baillie.

The following printed in the Montreal ! Star, of July 21st, 1907, will pretty well apply to the present conditions and the | electors of 1900 and 1904: "Never did a political party so _much need a beat ing as the Conservative party deserved and needed one at the last federal elections. The Conservatives were dis- trustful of each other, disloyal to their leaders, and among them were men | who were quite right to distrust each other. Before long there must be a great re-construction of the Conserva- tive party, and the exigencies of the situation may as well be recognized at once. Some of the old leaders can never be leaders again, and now is the time to get rid of them. If the Con- servative party is to command the re- spect and confidence of the country it | must have leaders worthy of respect and confidence. The reconstruction will in- volve not only the getting rid of some of the old leaders, but the selection of new ones." Mr. Choate's Breadmaking. Boston Herald. In the days when Joseph Choates was a lawyer--which, of course, implies the days before he became a Peace Com- missioner--a certain New York reporter who is now reporting no more unless {they run some sort of celestial gazette lin Heaven, had to go to see him about a piece of news. It was a warm day in early June, but Mr. Choate had a big fire burning in the grate in his inner office. As the interview was ending, the lawyer noticed his visitor's discomfort "Do you think it warm here?" he in- quired in mild surprise, "Warm?" echoed the reporter, who had got his news and could now af- ford to be truthful. "It's as hot as an oven! "Indeed!" said Mr. Choate. "But then," he added, "it ought to be as hot as an oven, for, you see, I make my bread here." Happy Ignorance. New York Tribune Francis Wilson, the comédian, apropos of certain curios whereon he believed he had been swindled, said with a little laugh : "The one drawback te knowledge is that it reveals many dupes and swindles to us. One summer, for in- stance, I was 'doing' Switzerland. In the neighborhood of Geneva, wh=re the Swiss talk French, I climbed a little peak one fine morning, and on my ar- rival at the chalet at the top I heard the pretty handmaiden call into the kitchen in excellent French: "Quick mother, quick! tourist. Put some milk You know they always from the cow." SO Here's a the fire it warm on like Kipling Has A Grip. Rudyard Kipling haunted magazine offices a good while before he succeeded in breaking into print with the sketches which have made him famous. He persisted, however, and the result every- body knows. This dogged characteristic was prominent in his childhood. The elder Kipling was bringing him home from India to an English school. A steward rushed to Mr: Kipling one after- noon%in the smoking room and an- nounced that the boy was out on the vardarm hanging by his hands. "If he let's go," said the steward, "he'll fall and be drowned." Mr, Kipling smiled quietly and said as he turned the next page of his book: "Oh, never fear; he won't let go." Experts On Deck.
