ENTIRE COMMAND DRUNK.
Court Martial Reveals Fast That Is
DepjorabIe to Kaiser

Hamburg. April 1s-A court-marital case
just concluded at Hamburg revealed a
condition OF things in the Seventeenth Di-
vision calculated TO make the Kaiser and
the whole German people uneasy about
the army. The only result was SEN
tence to four and a half months imprs-
onment Of on-commissioned officer for
neglect of duty.
During the field exercises in November
this officers company WAS stationed at
an outpost He sent three men some dis
tance away 10 patrol. but they entered
an inn and drank themselves into a state
of forSetfulness and failed TO return
when due in camp.
Two more soldiers were sent TO the vii
lage TO look after the other three. and
they likewise failed 10 come back, hav-
ing joind those whom they sought In the
delights of the inn.
Thereupon the non-commissioned officer
himself went in search Of his men. but he.
too. succumbed TO the same attractions,
and was seen no more that night in camp.

NO LAND OF LIBERTY.
Mascagni Talks of America on Arrival
Home.

Paris, April 1s-Signor Mascagn and
his wife, after stopping few days at the
Elysee Palace Hotel on their return from
America, left Paris for Parma last eve
ming to see their children. whom they
have not seen for seven months.
Signor Mascagni will be back in Paris
I by April IS or 20 to conduct at a festival
which is being organized by NJ. Emile
Durer.
Signor Mascagni has just made some in
teresing comments about his American
tour. He said the principal cause of his
failure to make a financial success was
that he would not appear otherwise than
as conductor of an orchestra at con-
cert or theatre. He would not accept
engagements to play the piano at clubs
or private houses. which would have
brought him thousands of dollars.
He had been warned of possible finan-
cial failure by the famous tragedian,
Signor Salvini. who said to him: DO not
believe stories of artists who come back
from America talking enthusiastically
about the land of dollars. 4 fortune can
be acquired only with the aid of COM
binations which are quite independent of
the other.
The best artists, the real artists con-
tinued Signor Mascagni, "only meet with
deceptions Perhaps they dare not con-
fess it when they get back, but they
are wrong in not doing So
Signor Mascagni said that he found the
American public sympathetic enough. 1t
was his manager who was responsible for
for all troubles. San Francisco, how
ever, compensated him for his misfor-
tunes.
The public of that big cosmopolitan
city," he said, lis absolutely void of Az
tistic education. l first gave them some
pieces which surprised them, then inter-
ested them and finally aroused them 20
enthusiasm. But to get together must
clans impromptu. like that. is difficult.
When / return to San Francisco in Octo-
ber 1 shall have properly trained or
chestra all ready. We have $4,000 capital
ready for these concerts, and 1 am con-
vinced of success.
Signor Mascagni spoke good humoredly
about his American trip, and said he re-
gretted nothing, not even the deposit he
had to leave in New York in order to get
away He added: My contract was for
NAL on this point. All differences with
my impressario were to be settled by the
courts at Florence. In spite of that, l
was made to pay $4,000 and l have n)t
been able for the past three months TO
get ii back again.
"Henceforth. when you are told that
America is the land of liberty and of
respect for individual rights. you can e.
member nv dearly bought experience and
laugh at the idea. Don't believe word
of it,"
Signora Mascagni does not take the
matter so gayIy. She asserts seriously
that Americans blow their noses with
their fingers, and this is a thing which
she cannot Da rdOn

SAW MAMMALIAN DIE.
Body Was Hung to Dry in Sun and
Eyes Replaced by Glass.

Vienna. April 1s.-Chevalier Won Tava-
ra's book, the Mexican Emperor Trag-
edy," just published, contains much new
material. Tavera was Austrian attache in
Mexico during Maximilians reign, aHi
conducted the negotiations between TIE
Emperor and Juarez.
After the execution had been ordered
he went to the president of the court
martial and demanded that his majes;y
be executed by the best marksman on
hand, so he be killed outright. as it would
not be proper for an emperor TO roll on
the ground in the agony of death
''Maximilian wanted his body embalm-
ed, but that was impossible" continues
Tavera, so it was hung by rope TO
tree to have it dried by the sun. Then
it was found that his eyes could not he
preserved and glass substitutes were or
dered. But the dealer sent brown ones
instead of light blue. That caused much
delay and we had to dispatch a special
messenger to the capital TO procure what
was wanted.
Finally Juarez refused TO give up the
body, and our ships ordered to convey
it home, had TO wait many weary
months"

WILHELMINA AS DUTCH TAR.
Dutch Queen Makes Prince -Consort
Look Like 80 Cents

Rotterdam, April 1S-Queen Wilhslmina
proved her courage in an extraordinary
fashion the other day when she mounted
the German man-of-war Charlotte in a
raging storm. The Charlotte had her
brother-in-law. Duke Paul of Mecklen-
burg, on board. who was anxious to
show her the trophies of war brought
back from Venezuela
He visited the Queen on the Dutch
man-of-war Holland, swinging at anchor
here, and half an hour later Wilhelmina
proposed TO go over to the Charlotte to
repay the compliment. AS a storm was
blowing at the time. the captain of the
Holland raised objections and Prince
Consort Henry backed up the captain
Wnhelmina paid no attention to Hen
rvs remarks, but turning to the officer.
said:
Would you be afraid to go?'
Certainly not your Majesty" replied
the old sea dog.
We'll your Queen can do any day what
a captain of her navy is willing TO per-
form. Get ready, then

ORPHANS GAMBLE

HaVana'S Wards Still in Their
Teens Taught Vice.
SPANISH GAME PLAYED
On Which They Gamble Their
Earnings.
SPANISH GAME PLAYED

Havana. April 1s.-The post has ascer-
tanned through one OF its representatives
that even little children, ranging in age
from thirteen 10 eighteen years. are al
lowed 10 gamble in the jai alai building.
while that great gambling institution is
being run.
The children, TO make the matter all
the worse, happen to be charges of the
city. namely, the orphans from the Bele-
ficencia institution. They are the mem
bers of the Beneficencia band. which plays
al the Fronton each night that the jsi
alai games are in progress. The little
fellows. of course, do not gamble gold
but they gamble. nevertheless, and the
gambling instinct is being inculcated into
these wards of the city. These little
children, nearly all OF whom are orphans.
it seems are given a few pesetas by the
jai alai management for furnishing the
music for the games. and these pese;as
they use in gambling on the results OF the
game.
The matter is very serious one and
one which the city authorities should be
taken TO task for Immediately. The au-
thorities may claim that they are not
aware of the facts in the case. but il
will be recognized by every one that they
are responsible and should know the ha-
bits that children put under their caro-
are forming. Children in a city institu-
ton are supposed to be taught not to be
come gamblers and dishonest men. but are
supposed to be taught 10 become honor
able and upright citizens.
1t is to be genuinely hoped by all con-
sciencious men that the President viii
pull the proper strings 10 make the city
officials, responsible for such laxity, smart
as they should be made TO smart.
