BERLIN's NOTED BEAUTIES.
Handsome Women Who Grace the
Kaiser's Court.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

FROM the Brooklyn Eagle.
Berlin has its noted court beauties The
sisters of the kaiser are fair types of the
Teuton beauty. The Archprincessin of
Saxin Meiningen and Princessin Friedrich
Karl Won Hessen, both sisters of the kaiser
are among the favorites at court. One of the
most brilliant women of the Prussan courts
is Princess Friedrich Leopold of Prussia,
who Is a sister to the kaiserin and comes
from the old -feudal Schleswig- Holstein
mouse. Among other celebrities are Prin-
cess Karl Won Hohenzollern born in Bel
GUM, who lives in Potsdam and is attached
to the kaiserin's suite. Among the younger
set is the pretty, bright Princessn Pauline
OF Wurttenberg, daughter of the King of
Wurttenberg. and Archprincess of wied,
who also resides near the royal palace in
Potsdam.
The Berlin court also has its skeleton
closet, Its bitter family feuds and griefs.
which is kept sealed from the profane pub
lie eye. But the kaiser is no friend of secret
court intrigues or scandals, and makes
short work of such domestic difficulties
Frequently it Is asserted that there il a
GOODNESS between the kaiser and his brother,
Prince Henry, and that the latter has been
commissioned for sea duty so that he may
be kept distant. This is untrue as the
strongest brotherly affection exists between
the two. The kaiser rules over family af-
fairs, as over the empire. with an iron will.
Under Bismarck the various widely spread
branches of the Hohenzollern family and
relgnlng Prussian princes were rent with
1ealousies and family rows regarding pres
tige and incomes. But the kaiser has swept
aside these cobwebs, and there is, perhaps,
no european court where the whole fam
lily is more harmonious and free from the
customary ills of nobility than the German
court. --'.+-e-A''..

Death From Slow Starvation.

The death Of Colonel Michael C. Murphy
was occasioned by a very unusual, not to
say unique, train of circumstances. Thir-
teen years ago he was subjected to the
operation of gastrostomy on account Of an
almost impossible structure Of the gullet
1t was then almost impossible for him to
swallow and in order to prevent him from
starving to death the artificial opening was
made in his stomach through which he was
compelled during the remainder of his life
to take all his food and drink.
Such constructions are usually due to
cancerous disease, but in Colonel Murphy
case the trouble was Of a benign nature,
amply accounting for it's long continuance.
Although he became very pale, very much
attenuated and suffered much from general
weakness and want of animal heat he new
ertheless by sheer pluck managed to at
tend to his onerouS duties of health COM
missioner and afterward commissioner of
police. During all this time he was evil
IDENTIFY gradually wasting away for want of
proper nouriShment, notwithstanding the
most careful attention was given to his
diet.
1t was obviously impossible to secure per-
Giles. thus depriving him of the variety of
food necessary for proper tissue building.
The main difficulty was the non-use Of
the saliva, which exerts such a powerful
influence on perfect digestion. The most
remarkable feature of the case was its
long duration. In such respect it possibly
stands alone In medical history. The i'm
mediate cause Of death was heart failure
from slow starvation. s..:T +..-sa:.'

NAMING THE NEW SHIPS.
The Larger Ones to Be Called Vermont,
Kansas and Minnesota.

The President and Secretary Moody have
reached a decision as to the states after
which the five battle ships provided for in
the new naval bill shall be named. The
three 16OOO-ton battle ships are to be
named Vermont, Kansas and Minnesota.
and the two 13.OOO-ton vessels will be christ
ened Mississippi and Idaho.
The Secretary, in his next annual report,
expects to take up the subject of the names
to be given new battle ships He is de-
sirous that the names of such historic YES
sells as the Cumberland, the Merrimac and
the Constitution shall be perpetuated in the
new navy, and he will recommend that Con-
gress provide for that in the next naval
law. Under the present law it is stipulated
that all battle ships shall be named after
the states of the Union.
That no time is to be lost in the construc-
ton of the new ships, is evident from the
action of the Secretary in directing the
general board to prepare the circulars for
the 16,O00-ton ships, which are to be of the
Connecticut and Tennessee class. AS there
are no 13,O00-ton ships on the naval lists it
will. Of course, take longer to prepare the
plans and speciflca tons for the Mississippi
and Idaho.

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG

GOOD MEDICINE

Stomach troubles common and In most

This fear of being humbugged can be carried too
far, so far, In fact. that many people suffer for
years with weak digestion rather than risk a little
time and money IN faithfully testing the claims
made OF a preparation reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly diff

WRECK DUE TO BOYS CURIOSITY.

assigned, except that the child wanted tc

Thirty minutes before the arrival of the
train the boy told Postmaster A. Herring
of Evergreen that he intended to open the
switch, but the postmaster, though he lives
within $50 feet of the switch, took nc
notice of the boys threat. Both the boy
and Herring have confessed to these facts.
Acting Superintendent A. w. Tousley OF
the fifth division said that he understood
the boy was in the custody of officers of
the road, though where he mad been taken,

What struck Col. Pellatt, a passenger
from New York, strangely was that, though
there were a number of negroes living
within forty feet of the scene of the acct
dent, they neither came near the train nor
in any way offered assistance, but simply
stood in the doorvays and looked on.

COMMUNICATING AT, SEA.
Another Wonderful Discovery of Prop
critics Of Sound %
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
What promises to be the most important
maritime discovery in years has been thor
oughly tested by a Gloucester fishing YES
sells crew on the Banks, and pronounced
by the practical fishermen a wonderful in
vention. The invention is the work of the
late Prof. Elisha Gray, who claimed to be
the inventor of the telephone, and Arthur
]. Mundy. 1t was developed by both during
the summer of 1901, at Annisquam, In their
craft the Sea Bell. The basic principle is
the fact that sound will travel under
water. A bell is used being submerged
and then struck The sound through the
medium of water is carried to a detector,
placed on the vessels side, by which the
position can be located.
Capt. Thomas Bohlin of the schooner
Mamie c. Bohlin, on board of which set
of these instruments was recently installed,
has made practical test on a fishing
cruise. Capt; Bohlin proceeded to Sable
Island grounds. On board Of one of the
dories was placed the bell when the men
went to haul their travis. When they ar
rived at where the travis were set the bell
was submerged. Meanwhile the detector
was placed over the vessels side. This
picks up the submarine sound waves and
makes them audible. On the first test the
dory was rowed two miles away, and the
crew aboard awaited the result Hardly
had the bell gone overheard before it's tones
were heard from the apparatus. Capt. Boh-
lin and his men, besides hearing the noise,
could tell the direction from which it came
The apparatus was tested exhaustively.
1t was put to windward with the wind
blowing fifty miles an hour. The result
was just as satisfactory. Wind or weather
made no difference. 1t worked to the ut
most satisfaction. Capt Bohlin and his
crew are enthusiastic over the new inyen-
ton, and they claim it will work wonders
Tor all classes of fishermen. Capt. BohIin
says with these bells stationed at all the
lighthouses on the coast, with a detector
on board vessels. the chances of a vessel
going ashore, when they have lost their
