LONDON, April 7.-There is no DISPOSE
ton here make overmuch of the attack
made on the Prince of Wales by Sipido, the
Anarchist lad, at Brussels, Wednesday,
while his royal highness was on his way
to Copenhagen; but the British see in it
the direct consequence of the continental
press attacks on Great Britain in con-
nection with the war. Thus, the London
Times says: "The suppression of notorious
facts. the propagation of glazing falsehoods
and truculent abusiveness operating on
weak minds are almost certain, sooner or
later, to have an issue in actions from
which, to do the writer's justice, they would
shrink with horror" The Times holds the
German press especially responsible for the
personal scurrilities directed against the
Prince of Wales, referring to the Kladder-
adatsch, which is not Socialist sheet, but
which ranks up toward London Punch
Such alleged scurrilities as the BLADDER
adatsch prints are systematic, yet the
Times AYERS that the German press Is con-
trolled. guided, cajoled or coerced by the
government and that the German law of
lese majestic is the most stringent in

= LONDON, April 1.-THE scatter-brained
youth and his 3-franc pistol gave England
a thrill that has not yet been quite effaced
by the instant knowledge that the Prince Of
Wales was unframed. This was the first
time the prince has been attacked. though
the assassination of the Queen has been at
tempted five times-by oxford in 1910. by
Francis i'm 1912. by Bean in the same year,
by Hamilton in 1S49, and by Mclean, at
Windsor. in 1882. The life of no monarch
in Europe has been in danger many
times as that of Queen Victoria, though
with the exception of Emperor William.
the hereditary ruler Of every principal
country has had at least one experience
with an assassin.
The Prince of Wales's cool and gentle
demeanor when he emerged from the
smoke Of the gunpowder and requested
those who had laid hands upon Sipido not
to treat him harshly is admired immense

turned to his car and sat down to a game

him. He displayed similar impassiveness
in the south of France at the time Of the
terrible earthquake several years ago. He
was asleep when the shock was first felt,
but was awakened at once and warned to
escape, but he refused to be deprived of
his rest by so trivial a thing as an earth
quake. 1t is for such British qualities as
these that the Prince is admired, we'll
as for his uniform good-fellowship in So
cial life. The attempt upon the prince has
placed in still clearer relief Ireland'S chiv-
alrous reception of the Queen.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE In BOSTON.
Curious Idea Concerning "GoId Cureo

Last November thrill of pleasurable

meeting in this city and seemed to show
some signs of being under conviction"
OF course DIR. Keeley's cure for drunken

lists as an arrant humbug; or rather they
believed that all the cures which We're at
tributed to 1t were really wrought by Chris
tan science, or the patients full Relief
that they were going to be cured. If Dr.
Kelley had been converted To Christian
Science he would of course have had Il

'keeley cures. This would nave leen
quite sensational matter, in view Of the
Importance which the Kelley treatment
had attained; and Christian scientists
everywhere must have regarded this as q
great triumph But though Dr. Kelley un-
doubleday showed much interest in the
Boston meetings, he did not accept the
doctrine. at least formally. and it is under
the meetings to the fact that his wife is
an earnest Christian scientist.
AT any rate, DR.. Kelley afterward went
to California, and lately, quite contrary to
the principles OF Christian science, died.

Scientist an interesting question has
