TO RULE HUSBANDS.
Startling Development of the So
Called New WOmnnhOOd Among
the Wives of Berlin.

Germany has of late years been the
stronghold of masculinity. The Ger
man women have been held up as para
CONS of all domestic virtues and stead
lastly opposed to new womanhood.
But even in Germany the throne of
man is shaking.
Berlin now has an Association of
Married Women for the Control of
Husbands. The constitution and by
laws haven't been made public, and the
meetings are private, but the name
alone opens broad vistas of specula-
ton as to the functions of the associa-
ton.
Presumably the women will all read
papers and compare experiences, and
the discussions will take on a remin-
iscent and anecdotal character that
will make them even livelier than So
rosis election day.
OF course, American club women viii
look pityingly at their Teutonic sis
ters' effort to throw off the yoke. Or
ganized effort toward the control of
husbands isn't necessary over here
AS the Wonderland Red Queen would
say: ooh, we passed that long ago."
Each American woman controls her
own husband with an ease that leaves
her time and energy for problems more
vital. Still, the German women have
made step in the right direction.
What the feelings of the German
husband are when he sees his wife set
ting forth to meeting of the A. M. w.
F. C. H. is beyond conjecturing.

Princess Victoria is 80 years old,

which she once owned. She has an
aristocratic face, but her features
lack animation. and the general effect
is rather heavy and dull. She is very

Charming was amiable, enlightened,
highly educated and fabulously rich,
and he returned the princess affec-
ton with ardor. He was enter
tanned at Sandringham, and in the
course of walk in the garden found
an opportunity to propose to the
young woman. She accepted him, pro-
visionally, of course. A princess can
do no more. The prince of Wales IA
vored the alliance, but the princess,
a remarkably proud woman, by the
way, opposed it bitterly. The queen
was also against the lovers. However,

were of subject race, so he was adj

family not directly concerned breathed
signs of polite regret and private re-
lief. Princess Victoria suffered deep

army nurse, but a princess is denied
the solace of hard work, which has
done so much for aching hearts the
world over. She wears always a SOU
venir of her prince-a ruby ring
which was brought her after his
death by servant.
Lately gossip has betrothed her to
Prince George of Greece, but there
has been no official announcement Oh
the engagement. If she remains un-

WILL NOT ACCEPT 1T.
What Secretary John H. Brooks Says
of Amended Franchise Ordinance
of His Trolley Company.

John ii. Brooks, secretary and treas
urer of the Central Rapid Transit
Street Railway company, stated most
emphatically to Tribune man yes
terday afternoon that unless at least
two of the amendments to the fran
chise which We're adopted at last
Thursday nights meeting of the select
council are reconsidered and stricken
Off the company will not accept 1t.
THE company cannot and will not
accept the franchise as it now stands"
said he. 1T would be utterly impos-
sible. There are three amendments
which practically kill it. but one or
these we might accept. The one l re-
fer to is the amendment striking out
that portion of the ordinance which
gave us the right TO operate a loop on
Centre street, Mifflin avenue and Vine
street. 1t might be possible for us to
get to West Scranton by some differ
ent route than this, but as We see 1t
now there is no other route.
"The other two amendments which
kill the ordinance. as far as we are
concerned. are the ones reserving the
right to impose a tax of not more than
five per cent. on our gross receipts.
and providing that at the end OF
twenty years the franchise shall revert
to the city,"

Republicans have been quick to view
the fact that in their nominee. n splen-
did man presents himself for the place,
and there is little doubt that when the
ballots are counted Joseph j. Kline
will be found to have carried each dis
trfct by n big majority.
In every respect he is the man for
the place. and from the general scnti-
ment of the ward he will be the man
in the place after the votes have been
counted. The cosmopolitan vote OF the
ward is largely assured him, and last
night a general pro-Kline sentiment
was in the air. Congratulations were
being rendered him already last night
by enthusiastic friends.

TRuMAN's OLIVER TWIST,
Very Clever Interpretation Of Dick
ems Story Given Last Evening.

one of the cleverest OF monologue
entertainments seen in this city was
given at the auditorium OF the st.
Lukes parish house last evening, when
Frederick w. Truman presented his
version of Dickens "Oliver Twist"
The entertainment was given for the
benefit OF the Mems guild, and there
was a fair-sized attendance.
Mr.. Truman impersonates no less
than twenty-one characters In the
course of his presentation OF Oliver
Twist. and In every instance, except.
ing perhaps the female characters. the
distinction between personages is
marked by expression OF the face and
modification of the voice.
Mr.. Truman's ability to change from
the gruff. harsh tones OF Bill sykes to
the timid, boyish voice Of oliver Twist
to the shrinking, cringlng vocal ex-
pressions of wicked old Fagin is GER
tanly remarkable. Probably the fea-
ture of Mr.. Truman's performance last
night was his Interpretation OF the
scenes In Fagins den.
His characterization of the old villain
was superb and IL easily the imper-
senator's strongest point. Another
strong part of last evenings perform
ance was the impersonator's interDre-
tation of humorous scenes, for in.
stance. the trial scene when Oliver
was charged with picking of Mr..
Brownlow's pockets. The difference
between Judge Fang and Mr.. Brown
low were reproduced with great real
ism and provoked no end of laughter.

organ selection. John Jones sang with
great force the solo. The Brigand,'
