SOME QUEER WAYS THE WORLD WACS.
Gar Threatens to Punish His
Aunt on Account Of Her
Gambling.

Berlin, Sept. "A very serious quarrel
aunt. the Grand Duchess of Vladimir
which has had the result OF causing her
husband. the Grand Duke. to tender the
resignation OF his office as commander of
the Metropolitan Military District of ST.
Petersburg and OF the Imperial Guard
The whole trouble. which has not only
set all Russian society by the ears, but
has also perturbed several goreign courts
including that OF Emperor William, is due
to question of baccarat and roulette.
Last spring the Czar. alarmed by the
extraordinary increase OF the scandals
at court. in society, In the army and even
among the high clergy due to high play,
issued an edict strictly forbidding bacca-
rat or roulette.
This ukase followed almost immediate
ly the startling discovery made by Mich
olas that the chapter OF one of the prin-
cipal churches of the metropolis had
pawned the church plate and jeweled
Icons to pay gambling debts contracted
at baccarat and roulette.
But society has treated the imperial
sdict with something very much akin to
derision. and this largely owing to the at
titude adopted by the Grand Duchess
Vladimir.
The latter. a German Princess by BIRTH
and the only foreign lady who has de-
clined to change the faith in which she
was reared for that OF her husband on
marrying a Russian Grand Duke, Is pas
sionately addicted to gambling.
To her is due the introduction OF the
roulette table as an article OF furniture
In the salons OF most OF the palaces and
mansions OF st. Petersburg. and the edict
of her nephew I'm no way modified her
openly proclaimed determination to visit
no house and TO attend no entertainment
where roulette and baccarat were not
provided for her amusement.
On discovering the manner in which his
orders were defied and the part which the
Grand Duchess has played In the matter
the Car intimated to her that unless she
set an example of obedience TO his behest
he would reluctantly be compelled to visit
ner with a public token OF his displeasure
by banishing her for time from court
and depriving her of the use OF the Inn
perial liveries and OF Imperial honors.

orator who presented the name Of Presi-

utterances were terse, and yet cordial.

Mr.. Vanderbilt said. "and am glad TO be
delegate TO this convention. II might
be presumptuous for me TO speak Of pub

son would not care TO GO into the de-
tails OF the present situation, not only In
the nation, but In the state Of New York.

There are men clad in clothing made
of queer cloth and cut in quaint shapes.
There are women-mostly without
head covering-dressed in the pictur-
esque costumes of the far-away coun-
tries. Some are leading by the hands
little children attired in miniature imi-
tation of old women and old men, and
others carry in their arms big bundles
of shawls and rags, beneath the cor
ners of which peer the shining eyes of
infants.
Those coming down the steps have
met their relatives and their friends.
Those without the rope are seeking
the loved ones who have come from be-
yond the sea. There is wild jargon of
yoices-a strange commingling of

toward the Battery park, an old man

beard and stopped shoulders has
thrown his arms around his son and
kissed him on the cheek. Not far from

and alone. Her escort who had met her
on the borders of the strange land has
left her for a moment, and she has
been surrounded by horde of rapa-
cious expressmen. Within the build
ing, close to the Identification desk, is a
tall, lank Dutchman. On his head is an
odd little Dutch cap. His trousers have
: hitch and his coat has swing that
betrays his nationality. 1t has only
been few days since he discarded the
wooden shoes of his fatherland and his
baggage bears about it the air of dykes
and bitches. To each one of the at
tendants who passes he says, in low
Dutch:. "Haye you seen my Jacob?
Tel me II you have seen my Jacob?"
Out on the esplanade three Turks are
making salams to an aged father. An
old Russian woman, speechless with
JOY, is clinging like child to the skirts
of daughter who led the way to the
wonderful America. And above 1t all
may be heard the rollicking laugh of
the Irish lad, surrounded by his friends
who have preceded him and are al
ready giving him information on the
ms and outs of city politics.
The ship has come in. And some
come with joy and some with sadness.
If you care TO study the great foreign
population of America, as it comes to
